MISSIONARY COL
I|NS' GREAT WORK
EXTENSIVE TOUR OF FIELD
DEMONSTRATES REAL SERVICE
OF A MISSICNARY-VISITS
MAURY CHURCHES.

After making quite an extensive
round over the field, Rev. ]. l.. Col
Inns, missionary for the State Bap-
tist Convention reached Nashville
this week. He reported a very sue
cessful trip in carrying out the di-
vine injunction, GO ye into all the
world and preach the gospel" as
taken from St Mark 1913 He has
been able to demonstrate in a most
clear manner the real service of a
missionary The churches through
out the district have been keeping
their doors open constantly on the
lookout for the Rev. Mr.. Collins. One
of his last engagements after the
ban was lifted was at Smyrna, Tenn,
at the Mt Zion Baptist Church where
he preached two special sermons,
one in the day and the other at night.
They gave him $40 for the mission
work. Brother Collins said: 81 am
praying for the good pastors and
their people. Rev. j. E. Elder is To-
Gated at Smyrna. Another church
that | visited was the Bryant Grove
Baptist Church. At this church a
great meeting was also held on Sun
day, Nov. 3rd. These people are in
hearty sympathy and cooperation
with the National Baptist Convention
(unincorporated). They are sup
supporters of the National Baptist
Publishing Board and are among the
host of workers in the state who are
solidly behind the National Baptist
Theological Training Seminary"
They gave Missionary Collins Sc
for Missions and the Rev. Mr.. Elder
announced that his people were in
terested in this work. In this stand
they are supported by their ex-pastor,
the Rev. DR.. Strong, who. although
not an active missionary himself, is
power with the people in the dis
trict.

An amusing incident took placs
the second day out. Forty or fifty
of the colored soldiers had formed a.

song or hymn. What do you sing?"

good natured son OF the Emerald Isle.
Quick as a flash came the answer,
Sometimes l sing bass and some.
times l sing soprano. And it was
true, for in the chorus he adapted
himself to the type OF the song he
was singing, to the circumstance, to
the other singers, and above all, per-
haps, to his mood. Because they
were lighthearted, cheerful, when go.
ing across the big waters, it must
not be accepted that they were mere
ly lighthearted because of lack of
brain development, for many among
them were bright, intelligent men,
graduates of Howard University and
other accredited schools.
