BETHESDA BAPTIST

The Rev. W. E. Wellington of
Bethesda on the last Sunday of
1886 found himself facing the diff
ficult task of attempting to interest
an audience more or less soporific
from the strenuous holidays culmi-
mating in the Christmas ceremonies
just concluded. He chose for his
discourse the epistle written to
Timothy by the apostle Paul. Quot
ing the apostles celebrated decla-
ration 81 have fought good fight,
I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith" he interpreted the
flight" as boxing, "my course" as
the education derived from study
Of the word or booking and except
the faith" as saving things of value
as banking. From these things he
developed the thought that all
Christian people should box skill
fully against the powers of evil,
study Gods word to become per-
feet in knowledge and preserve all
the things gained in the warfare
of life. Touching upon a number
of things the pastor spoke feelingly
of war and it's horrors as shown
in current world history and spoke
of the misfortune of losing the
things one has acquired through
lfe's journey-as opposed to the
blessings of the things of value
one may bank in the course of that
same journey.
At the evening service in a short
sermon he drew much of inspira-
ton and new light from the scrip
ture as found in Acts Is. Called
attention how Paul and Barnabas
did not forget the work they had
accomplished in their missionary
labor but went back over the field
to reencourage those whom they
so recently won to Christ. This, he
said, is what Bethesda and he him
self must do in the coming year
to restore through visits and coun-
sells those who had been lax in
their church association the past
year. The joint Senior choir and
Gospel chorus sang the music. At
the Sunday school and BYPU ses-
sions the remainder of the Christ
mas gifts were distributed.

Rev. and Mrs. A. Gaynes Thomp-
son sang a duet and the choir of

Again"
Mrs. Della Burns made the pres
entation of the church's volunteer
contribution of $4,000 to which the
evenings offering of $3.50, raised
through the suggestion of Rev. j.
H. Thompson and the help of W.
Gertrude Brown, was added.
Responses were made by Rev.

SHOULD women demand from

subject Of a very interesting de-
bats Monday evening at the First
Church. For the affirmative were
Mrs. J. N. Drake. Mrs. S. H. Grant
and ]. johnson. For the negative
Mrs. Vivian sreafman. Joe Man
ming and DR.. W. r. Burton. The
decision of the judges: Mrs. A. E,
Russell, Mrs. J. N. Bell and w. j.
Hyatt, was a tie.
The debate caused considerable
enthusiasm and each debater did
very fine job, but it is the opin-
ion of this writer that Mrs. S. H.
Grant presented by far the most
logical argument. If points are to
be based on a statement of the
sis and offering factual proof in
support of this thesis, then Mrs.
Grant should have been awarded
six of the seven points she pre-
sented, as one might have been
construed to overlap. In addition,
this worthy contestant should have
been awarded some points on a
brilliant rebuttal.
The negatives, however, had the
best opening and debating ETH
quette. The entire evening was
very entertaining and Mrs. Leatha
Watson, who sponsored the affair,
is to be commended on her effort.
A number were present in spite
