PILGRIM REST BAPTIST

All christian people should at
tend church every Sunday morn
ing. If the churches were filled
every Sunday, the community
would take notice, for the church is
the most important institution in
any community. Yet in the event
of the community life, no christian
can be loyal to Christ and disloyal
to his church.
DevotiOns were conducted by the
deacons on Sunday, December 27,
1859 Rev. Joseph Jackson, pas
tor, was the speaker of the hour
and he chose for a subject, Power
of Prayer, Increase by Danial,"
and his text, Matt. 1921. The
pastor pointed out that mans
worst enemy is himself and the
more he denies himself, the farther
