We are glad that some preach ers in North Carolina are men enough to show which side of the fence they are bn. We feel sorry for the poor coward who hears Rome call our children bastards and our wives prosti tutes and will not open his mouth because he is afraid that he will lose popularity. If Christ himself were here, they would not be caught in company with him. They would be afraid it would not be popular. My! how we wish every preacher was a man of conviction. We, ‘then, could chase the devil, but as it is, when a man feels that he ought to denounce evil, some lit tle twenty-two calibre fellow will criticize him. We take about as much cognizance of them as the ox did the gnat on his horn. They are to be pitied. Well, did James say that “the man that thinketh him*self to be some thing when he' is nothing, de- ceiveth himself.’’ We are glad that the North Carolina Bap tist ministry has such inen as L. R. Pruett, pastor of Ninth Avenue Baptist church, Char lotte; Dr. W. M. Vines, pastor First Baptist church, Charlotte; C. A. G- Thomas, pastor of the First Baptist church, Salisbury. Thesf* are heroes. They are not afraid to denounce Romanism. Christmas exercises the same day. The pastor was unable to attend all these services but the brethren report that they had good services. We were espe cially delighted to hear of the good behavior at the churches; that means so much. I \vill here mention another experience in the pounding line: On Saturday evening before the first Sunday in this month, at our regular meeting at Kendall, our heart again rejoiced. After preaching services was over and we were going through some ex periences in conference, and as we were standing to be dismiss ed, Bro. Thomas Miller stated that the brethren wanted to make the heart of their pastor rejoice. The brethren at once began to leave the house, and on returning they were loaded with many good things. We are ob liged to say our heart rejoiced at this time. We came home feeling more like fighting the battles of a Christian life. ’ Aft er arriving home and showing the nice things given us to the family, we again rejoiced. Mky God’s richest' blessings rest upon these good people. B. G. WHITLEY. To r‘. - — — . Lexington. He is a very inter esting man.

Dear Brother Black.— It is rather late to nie'.Ti'.oM Christmas tree, ani ("hristmr.-, poundings, but I will mem.iar. some anyway. December 25, that being Christmas Day, the brethren and sisters of Prospect Baptist church met at the place of wor ship. It was the pastor’s happy privilege to meet with them. When we entered the church, we saw a large tree well filled with the nicest of prsents. The hour for service arrived, and the house being well filled, we wit nessed one of the most impres sive Christmas services that we have ever seen. The Sunday school treat was so impressive, and the .spirit of the Lord was present. The children, as well as the older ones, went away with glad hearts. We alinost felt like we were in a revival meeting. The exercises being over, and .some special gifts from teachers given out, the su perintendent of the Sunday school announce.-! that there were some more gifts to be given out. When the congregation heard this, they unhesitatingly went out, leaving the pastor m amazement. A few minutes passed away, and then we un derstood it all. The people re turned, bringing flour, coffee, pumpkins, and many otn- er things to make a pastor reel happy. After packing all of these nice things in our buggj we decided that this was a real pounding. Surely the Lord was with us. J Mt. Pleasant, Mission and Kendall churches also had Bro. J. L. Vipperman Accepts a cal! to Mississippi. After five years of faithful and fruitful ministry as pastor of our First church at Silencer, Rev. J. L. Vipperman has accept ed a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist church, Columbiis. Miss., and will enter upon hi.s duties there the first Sunday in March. Following his recent vis it to Mississippi, the Columbus Dispatch on Januarv- 28 had the following to say: “After hearing him preach Sunda}' morning the board of deacons of the church held a meeting and decided unanimously to recommend his election as pastor of the church and the hoard’s recommendation was acted on favorably by the congregation at the evening service. All who heard Dr. Vip perman were forcibly impressed with his sincerity and force of character and his splendid abil ity as a pulpit orator. He is a scholar of rare accomplishment and a thorough theologian. His two sermons Sunday were mark ed by their eloquence and mas tery of his subjects, which fa vorably impressed his audience. His acceptance talk following his election was especially brilliant and sentimentally beautiful.” CULLOM SCHOOL OF MUSIC, I Albemarle, N, C. An Endorsed School of Mnsic.
