Sunday was indeed a day to be re-
membered in the A. M. E. church. Our
beloved presiding elder, Rev. T. B.
Stovall was with us and brought with
him encouragement and INSPIRATION. In
the Sunday school, Rev. Stovall gave
us inspiring remarks that will be re-
membered and treasured in our hearts
many days hence.
In the morning service we .wree

text being "Why Could We Not Cast

Christian church. We were made to
think upon our way and to examine our
selves.
In the afternoon we were favored by
the presence of the Baptist minister,
Rev. w. w. Ewing and his congrega-
tion and choir. Rev. Ewing preached
splendid sermon and his choir rem
dered excellent emusic. His test was
::For as Often as Ye. Eat this Bread
and Drink this Cup We do Show the
Lord g death till he Came.' He por-
trayed to us the great necessity Of tax
ing the Lord g supper.
In the evening Rev. Stovall rendered
to us a splendid sermon. His text be-
ing, "Ye are the Salt of the Earth; ye
are the Light of the World.' In his
sermon he showed the great necessity Of
Christians being true lights of the
world; we should to thoroughbred Chris

On the night of Jan. % meeting
of the chapter was called, at which
time Brother J. X. Titus presided. BY
vote the night was set aside as reg
ular business meeting night. At this
meeting the new officers of the chap
ter were elected. The offers holders
are as follows: A. w. Martin, pole
march; G. J. Scott, vice polemarch;
Fred Slater, keeper of record; l.. D..
Windsor, keep of exchequer; Joseph
Fulton, strategist; T. G.. Hill, lieut..
strategist; T. s. Boone, associate edi-
tor. A program committee was also
appointed with j. l.. Coleman, chair
man. Brother Titus the then retir-
ing polemarch installed the newly
elected officers in the usual rituaGstlc
manner. The next thing before the
chapter was the voting on the initia-
tion of the pledges. The chapter unan-
imously voted on eleven pledges. The
pledges were as follows: G. w. Allen,
Cecil Brewton, Curtis Bush, I. T. Don

by one very thoroughly disciplined in

know they deserve fully the credit
given them.
