NOTES FROM MT.
OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH

South East Fourth street, Rev. G. E.
Sanders, pastor.
We. are glad to say that we are still
on the field trying to do our bit in the
way OF defending the Gospel of Jesus
Christ: We are as well as could be ex-
pected under certain conditions. Of
course we are like all the rest Of the
ongregations in the city, we have some
of those who feel dissatisfied with the
doctrine of the Baptist church and
have. gone out from us because they
were not at all of us.
{ believe that God grace is salts
lying grace, and all that comes in
touch with it is satisfied and is un-
movable.
The thing that want someone to
tell me is this: t'What do you think
Of a man or woman that says they
have been Christians for twenty or
twenty-five years and are now going up
to the mourner s bench to have some
other person pray for them2
Now you have heard them say that
they are Christians and how God had
answered their prayers in days gone by,
but now they have come to the place
where they are not able to pray for
themselves.
Il say if you are not able to ask God
for what you want and believe that you
will get the things you ask for, that
You have never been born in the first
place. III
There will be a Thanksgiving dinner
and play at this church Thanksgiving
