Wyche, preached an able and most en lightening sermon from the sub ject, “The Marriage Supper of the Lamb.” His text was John 2:1. At the Sunday evening ser vices Seventh Street congrega tion had the pleasure of listen ing to an excellent sermon de livered by Mr. A. H. Prince, of the junior Theological class, johnson C. Smith University, who is supplying the Presbyte rian church at Lincolnton. Mr. Prince made a profound im pression upon his hearers as a sincere and forceful minister. Although .he is young in the cause his message had a depth of feeling that indicated his scholarly and oratorical ability. He spoke from the subject, “God's Insignia is Necessary for rtteved Life.” His text was Ex odtijb 12:13. His divisions were: (a) Faith is the way.; (b) Obe dience is the way; (c) Consecra tion is the way. t All the members of our church and congregation are asked to contribute $5.00 or more, if possible, on next Sun day for the debt on the dwelling house just purchased. The dea con% were elated over the way in which the members responded last Sunday wh6n the sum of $197.00 was raised. They are asking that each one contribute just as liberally on next Sun day. The first person to contribute on the debt was Miss Annie F. Hayes, who one day last week paid $5.00 for herself and $1.00 in memory of her father and mother who were charter mem bers of our church. . We are also grateful to Mr. A. E. Spears, of Durham, a former deacon of our church, who, seeing our efforts through the columns of the Africo, sent $5.00 by special delivery in order that it would reach us by Sun day. Mr. Spears has been in Durham only a few months, but in recognition of his worth as a business man and a churchman he has been made an elder in the Pine Street church.
