excursion to help relieve the heavy
and crowded train but it seemed that
the 8 coaches were filled beyond any
forethought.
The excursion arrived in Greens-
l)oro about 11 o’clock and was deta
ined there for several hours, reaching
Thomasville about 3 o’clock.
It is useless to say we were all glad
to get there, the larger part of our
number having n?vei been there.
The excursion, numbered by its
hundreds, were soon on the Orphan
age grounds, resting under the beau
tiful shade trees and partaking of
the cool spring water, such as is sel
dom found in that part of the state.
After rambling over the grounds for
some time and being refreshed by
the cool water, the school bell began
to toll and soon the school building
was crowded with the excursion peo
ple and others, to listen to the exer
cises to be given by the children.
Mr. Boone, the Manager, told us
in pleasing words that the children
would render some exercises specially
for the excursion. This was done to
the credit of the able co''ps of teach
ers and Manager, and the good will
of the little boys and girls, impress
ing our people more than ever of the
pains and care taken of the poor or
phan boys and girls, who otherwise
would doubtless be of no service to
the world or themselves either. May
God more deeply impress upon us
the great duty that w'e owe to the
orphanage. As to the other part of
the town, it was most beautiful to be
hold—Lots of business done in a
busines way—bnt time forbids us
now to give a further sketch of this
place.
. About six o’clock in the evening,
we found ourselves homeward bound
and about half past 3 o’clock, found
us sa'fe one more time in N. Wilk‘'‘S-
borO. Long before we reached here
the sweet refrain was started by many
of the passengers, “We’re going
home to ride no more.” Considering
O
the numerous crowd, the entire trip
was enjoyed by all.
As most of us feel this morning,
we are unable to name the date of
the next excursion.
which we took a collection for mis
sions, amounting to six dollars and
seventy five cents. Then we retired
to the grove where the good sisters
and people of the community had
spread the finest dinner I ever saw in
a grove, whereupon we all bowed our
heads while thanks were being re
turned to our heavenly Father for
his bountiful blessings. We then all
ate and were all filled, after which
many baskets of fragments were
taken up. At 1 o’clock p. m., the con
gregation assembled in the church
where the program of the Sunday
school was conducted by Sister Mat-
tie Wellborn. The little folks acquit
ted themselves w'ell through all their
exercises. Their recitations were all
leading to mission work and were
much enjoyed by all. At 3 o’clock
p. m., we had a sermon by L. C.
Wilson. A collection was then taken
for the Sunday school work, amount
ing to three dollars and seventy
eight cents. So closed another Sab
bath service.

Wilkesboro-Thomasville
Excursion.
Early Wednesday morning the
people began to gather at the Wil-
kesboro depot, and by 6 o’clock the
crowd was almost innumerable-Peo-
ple from all over Wilkes county and
adjoining counties. There were on
ly six coaches to start with and these
were soon filled to overflowing, and
there were numbers who came to go
on the excursion but failed for room
At or about 6 o’clock the train with
its greaf army of people wended their
way down the line. At Donnaha two
passenger coaches were awaiting the
Prom Riverside, N. G.
To the Blue Ridge Baptist;—
Over ten years ago the writer was
called as pastor of the Mt. Zion
church, Wilkes county, N. C., and
on reaching the community, I found
three distilleries running, manufac
turing that great evil. 1 remembered
that all things work for good to them
that love God. Pastor and church in
one united effort worked and prayed.
The stills disappeared and the Sun
day school work began to advance at
once, and through these years the
Lord has been blessing the church,
and each year adding to its members
by baptism. To-day the community
is largely Baptist.
On Saturday, June the 27, 1903,
the church met. After a sermon by
G. H. Hamby, the church was called
to order by the Pastor. The ordina
tion of deacons was considered, and
a Presbytry was recognized, consist
ing of G. H. Hamby and the Pastor,
when J. C. Land and S. J. Barnette
were examined and found orthodox
in the Baptist Faith and Practice,
and were ordained to the great and
special duty of deacons. I hope they
will be a great blessing to their
church, community and for the
spread of the gospel at large.
Sunday the 28th was Children’s
Day, and a large congregation assem
bled in the church, and after some
sweet music performed by the young
ladies on their new church organ
that they are so much delighted with,
we had an earnest sermon by L. C.
Wilson, leading to missions, after
