FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
C. S. BLACKWELL, d. d., Pastor.
THE PASTOR’S PRATER.
Every true pastor e heart yearns
over his people with infinite longing.
If he could find words of expression
he might say.
“May the blessing of our God wait
U])on you, and the sun of Glory shine
around your head; may the gates of
plenty, honor, and happiness always
be open to you and yours. May no
strife disturb your days, nor sorrow
distress your nights; and may the pil
low of peace kiss your cheek, and
heavenly angels attend your dreams.
When length of years makes you
weary of earthly joys, and the cur
tains of death gently close around the
scenes of your earthl3' existence, may
the angels of God attend your bed,
and take care that the expiring lamp
of life shall not receive a rude blast
to hasten its extinction. May the
blood of the Saviour wash you from
all impurities and cleanse your souls
from all sin. and prepare you to enter
the home of everlasting joy.”

A KUMBKK of our bright girls are
preparing to got off to school next
month. We were proud of our dele
gation last year. Misses Burtt, Barnes
and Keathley. We understand the
number will be increased this year.
But where are our Baptist boys?
We would like to see more of them
stirred up to seek higher education.
Where there is a wil’.there is a way
for any young man who is determined
to get an education. We know. We
b'.ve tried it.
Corner Fourth and
Campbell Streets,
Our church seems, during the Sum
mer, to be the meeting point of
many stra jgers and visitors. Several
of these have come to the pastor and
told him that they were blessed by
the services they attended, and some
have Written their thanks after going
homo. We thank God and take
courage.
The very hot Sunday mornings cut
the Sunday School attendance down
to about one hundred. But other
schools, held in the afternoon have
had practically no attendance at all.
Wr are under obligations to musical
people in the City, as well as visitors
for their contributions to the praise
part of our services during the heated
term. Large audiences have heard
them with delight.
Rev. W. B. Oliver and his son An
drew are stopping down at Southport
for a few weeks. We praj' that old
ocean will fan color into the face of
our brother, and that sea food will
put strength into his body. Ween
joyed a delightful “boat ride” with
him. We hope to hear him in our
pulpit before he returns to Florence.

“What saith the Scripture?” is the
tirle of a little book of 150 pages,
packed full of “meat for men” and
condensed “milk for babes” by John
T. Pullen, of Raleigh. It will do us
all good to read these words of God
arranged by such a devout servant of
our Master. If you will give your
name and S5 cents to the pastor he
will get you a copy in a week.
KISDET ACT.
A few days since Mrs. Jos. H. Hauby
gave the ladies of the Baptist Old
Ladies’ home, corner of Fifth and
Wooster streets, a delightful and
substantial dinner. Everything that
goes to make up a good dinner was
carried down, and served right in the
dining room of the home. Of course
the event will be remembered, and
the recipients of Mrs. Hanby’s kind
attentions will not soon forget her
thoughtfulness.
If about eleven other ladies would
each select a month, and do as sister
Hanby has done, the old ladies could
look forward to a good dinner once a
month for a whole year around. If
these sisters will volunteer and give
their names to the pastor he will as
sign each her month.

Thb hand of welcome has recently
been heartily extended to brother and
sister C. C. Rice, aud also to Miss
A lace Brooks. These are punctual
and skilled workers in Church and
Sunday School.

We are glad to announce to the
many friends of Rev. R. E. Peele th.at
he will preach for me at Brooklyn
church second Sunday while I am
away. It gives us real pleasure to
secure his services.
J. J. Payseuk.
Milton H. McLaurin, of Bennetts-
yille, S. C., has recently accepted a
position in the Express Office. He is
a young Baptist of excellent social
and religious standing.
Much sickness among the young
men of our congregation has prevailed
for some weeks. John A. Orrell. R.
E. Blake, Willie Herring, Herman
Meredith, and others are on the list.
The large congregations which are
disposed to attend our church on
Sunday nights during the summer
makes it hard for the pastor to get the
consent of his mind to take any sort
of summer vacation. When other
churches are closed and the people by
the hundreds are disposed to hear, ho
feels it his duty to stay and preach the
Word of Life.
Stirring events in China have
awakened special interest in missions.
To meet which the pastor has been
giving “Mission Map” studies at the
B. Y. P. U. meetings for the past few
weeks. Many speak of the effort as
being helpful.
