SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH

Sunday was high day for sec
ond Baptist. The morning service
was filled with the power Of the
Holy Spirit. The devotional
service was conducted by Deacons
Baker and Cooper. The Choir
marched to the stand singing the
professional hymn, Holy, Holy.
The pastor, Rev. o. B. Jones,
delivered a powerful sermon from
John 21:22. His subject was
Following Jesus" Many great
and helpful thoughts were brought
out in this message. He said in
part: Heaven is given to us on
condition; you are not responsible
for the other person who may not
be doing as he should as a follower
Of Christ; following Jesus involves
some suffering; the minister OF the
gospel is a traffic director, point
ing the way to go from earth to
heaven; it not safe to follow every
person who sets himself up as a
leader"
Following this wonderful sermon,
the choir sang a gospel song, Il
Don't Know What I'd Do Without
teh Lord" led by Mrs. Pearl Reid.
In the afternoon the pastor,
choir and congregation worshipped
with Rev. G. A. Stevenson and con-
