made a great impression from such
wonderful subject"
AMPLIFIER: "He certainly did.
The pastor took the human body and.
showed how every member of the
body co-operates, and in perfect UNI
ion. He also explained how, if one
member of the body is in trouble the
Who'll ebody is in trouble, if one mem
Der of the body is hurt, the whole
body is hurt, and so on. Rev. Parham,
with his intellectual brush, painted
many more excellent pictures, too nu-
merous to mention"
MRS. PILGR1M: Certainly wish
| had heard this sermon. 1t is true,
more cooperation is needed in many
If our churches"
AMPLIFIER: "O-yes, cooperation
Is needed in these churches mighty
BAD, and that is what the newly elect
ed pastor, Rev. S. L. Parham, strest
mostly"
MRS. PILGRIM: "How did the con-
gregation seem to enjoy it. (The SER
mon?"
AMPLIFIER: "The congregation
seemed to have enjoyed this message
very much. And, they seem to be more
determined to give better cooperation
to their church hereafter"
MRS. PILGRIM: "What do you
think about Rev. Dr.. Parham-the
new elected pastor"
AMPLIFIER: 81 am sure he is
the right man for Mosby Memorial
Baptist Church, and if those men,
bers will give him whole-hearted sup
port and cooperation, l am sure that
DR., Parham will put over the great
program, and not only will he be a
benefactor to the church, but he will
also be helpful to this community
in general. AS a pulpiteer, it would
be very hard to find one better. He
never tries to PREACH BIG SER
MONS, but being a close student of
affairs, and having an intimate
knowledge of human nature, and en-
dowed with such pleasing humor, he
breaches the OLD TIME GOSPEL
TRUTHS with peculiar freshness
md practically"
MRS. PILGRIM: "How was the
singing by the choir" -.
AMPLIFIER: "The choir render
ed excellent music, and the Female
Quartette off Mosby Memorial, gave
very touching selection, which all
enjoyed ~ n3.h ,a4as 90 r, 60
MRS. PILGRIM what was The
genral collection? Please tell me-"
AMPLIFIER: "Ah, Mrs. Pilgrim,
don't be so interested in the MONEY.
They raised pretty good sum. The
amount, I'll tell you later"
MRS. PILGRIM: "You say DR..
Parham has pleasing personality"
AMPLIFIER: "Yea, he is very
agreeable and propitiously disposed
toward every body, and yet he is no
FIGURE-HEAD. He has a never
failing humor that brings to bear up
on nearly every question from the
standpoint of Christianity. He is OPP
timistic and resourceful. He has
faith in everything5h eattempts to do,
and usually finds a way to accom-
plish the same" l-'S"t... t0s.'
3 MRS. PILGRIM: "That's excellent.
Yea, l am glad that Mosby Memorial
Baptist Church at last, has found
good shepherd. We all remember how
hard the officials of this church found
tin trying to settle upon some
miniser to succeed he eloquent, DR..
j. A. Brinkley, the former pastor. 1t
is North Cardinals loss, and Vir-
ginia's gain. Let all the churches in
ginia's gain. LIE tall the Churchts in
Richmond, Arise, and greet the
Rev. DR.. Parham, the new minister
of the gaspel, coming over into Mace
donia to help US. Now are We going
to act selfsh?"
AMPLIFIER: "When Rev. Par
ham appeared at Mosby Memorial
Baptist Church, for his first time, (by
invitation) :, there were not dozen
members of that church who had ever
seen him, yet they were not long re
alizing that man of extraordinary
ability was before them"
MRS. PILGRIM: "You were fixing
to say something pertaining to his
educational qualities 1t was some
thing like that-tell me, please?"
AMPLIFIER: 90 1 was about to
say that Rev. Dr., Parham respects
choice English, but he does not con-
suit his audience as to how nicely
and polisht he should say things.
Sometimes his talks are as sweet as
honey, and sometimes as bitter as
quinine. And when he is preaching
against sin, he feels like he is in a
combat with the devil, and he does
not look about for smooth stones
he grabs up anything in reach Of his
gigantic hands and HITS HARD.
Wonder can Mosby stand his prescrip-
tions. The gospel must be preacht.
Parham is one among those the Lord
told 60 We and preach it-and he bet
ter obey Him"
MRS. PILGRIM: "Wsll, Amplifier,
have enjoyed the conversation. Glad
/ came over. pray that Rev. Par
ham will be successful in our city.
Goodbye, I'll stop in again SOON"
AMPLIFIER: "Good-day, Mrs.
Pilgrim, 60 to hear Rev. DR.. Parham
and see how you like him."
