FLAT Kui'K BAPTIST CHCHC'H SS New Members ? 80 Bj Baptism Flat Rock Baptist Church, already ode of "the largest and most useful churches in Franklin county, has just experienced a most marvelous work of grace which resulted in the addi tion of 86 new members ? 80 by bap tism. On last Sunday, the baptismal waters in the large stone baptistry near the church were continuously troubled tor one and a half hours when I one after another went down into the (-water and publicly put on Christ in j baptism. Among those thus baptised I was.one man 97 years old. It was the I largest baptism the writer ever wit nessed and the audience was the lar gest. ? ?? ?j*" The pastor, Rev. Charles B. Howard was assisted in the meeting and also in the administration of the ordinance by Rev. J. A. Mclver of Louisburg. These two men of God, full- of faith and the Holy Spirit, for ten day# gave themselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word, and the grand old church was present at each service in great numbers giving Buch help as is always lndispensible to a great work of grace, and hence the wonderful outcome ? many souls sav-> ed, and many reconsecratlons ? a gen uine revival. One outstanding feature of the meet lng was the fact that the church waB aroused to a sense of its duty and abll ity to form a field of its own and to call a pastor for all his time. This was truly a great meeting. Only eter nity can tell how great. WHY MERCHANTS SHOULD APVEFTI9E: One merchant, who Baw a farmer carrying from the express o.flce a large package of goods bought from outside sources, had his eyes opened to the value of local advertls'ng. re ports the Ooldsboro Record, which tells about the Incident in an inte resting way. The Franklin Times would like for every merchant in Louisburg to read this Incident and think about it care fully until he fully understands the message given. The local merchant expects the home paper to do all It TTan to build up the town, to adver tise its possibilities and to be a real commun.ty leader Thi s the paper wants to do and will do whether It receives the full support of all those engaged in business or not. It is the best Interest of the community, how ever, for our local business men to realize that a sign out on the highway cannot h? brought to the home ot a customer for him to read. The Ooldsboro Record says: A farmer who was carryllng an ex press package from a city mall order house was accosted by a local mer chant with the words: Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from meT" he asked. "I could have sav*d you the express, and beside you have been patronising a home store, which helps pay the taxes and build up this com munity." With characteristic frankneie the farmer replied. Why don't vou patro nise your home paper and advertise your goods? I read It and rtlSn't know you had the goods I have here, nor do I see your name In the paper Inviting me to come to your store."
