hSIh vi NIL
Sunday is quarterly meeting at Eb-
enezer. The Rev. K. Davis, pastor of
Centennial M. E. Church, will preach
the sacramento sermon. The usual
large audience greeted the pastor last
Sunday. He delivered a mastery gos-
pei sermon, subject, "The Two
Swordsmen," representing consecra-
ton and d~isobedience. There were
seven additions. There has not been
a Sabbath that persons have not unit
ed with the church. The Hon. N. c.
Crews, Lawyer Galloway and DR..
Howard NJ. Smith worshipped at Eb-
enezer Sunday morning. Messrs.
Crews and Galloway represented the
Bundy fund. In their addresses they
paid high compliments to the serv-
ices. Mr.. Crews said Ebenezer was
the greatest church and carried the
largest audiences because she had
neevr separated spirituality and intel
ligence and the church was alive both
spiritually and intellectually with q
great gospel minister and a great
choir. The trustee offering Sunday
was S119.....The Stewards en- Tues
day night class, $500. On top of
that Ebenezer gave t oMr. Crews Sun
ady morning $63.SS cash for the Bun
dy fund and $500 in pledges. With
the Sunday School and Endeavor re
port NOR ethan S240 cash was the col
lection. The secret of Ebenezer's
tremendous success in every depart
ment is that righteousness both to God
and man predominates and the pas
tor and officers are not afraid to put
their disapproval upon all disturb
ances that try to creep in and inter
fere with the peace and harmony of
Ebenezer. By so doing this has been
a great spiritual and harmonious year
