RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1901.
RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
Organ of the North Carolina Conference.
Published Weekly at Raleigh, N. C.
Rocky Mount.
We spent last Sunday and part of Monday
in Rocky Mount. .We preached to two at
tentive congregations on Sunday. Rev. N.
E. Coltrane, the pastor, had been wrestling
with the grip, but was able to be out.
We heard many commendations of Bro.
Coltrane. The people have great confi
dence in him. He is a safe, conserva
tive, evangelical preacher, and a pains
taking, consecrated pastor, and never fails
to build up and sustain the work to which
the Conference sends him. We had a
good opportunity on Monday to mingle
with the good people of Rocky Mount.
We found the Advocate in great favor,
and succeeded, by the very valuable as
sistance of the pastor, in enlarging our
subscription list at that place. It is a
very significant fact that, although Bro.
Coltrane has been in Rocky Mount only
a few weeks, he i-eemed to have thorough
knowledge of his people and their place
of residence. Rocky Mount is truly a
growing town. We weie impressed with
the large number of new houses in pro
cess of erection. The town has a fine
system of water works, and is one of the
most healthful towns in Eastern Caro
lina. We did not have the privilege of
seeing Bro. Woodall, in charge of the
work at South Rocky Mount. We found
that consecrated worker for Christ, Bro.
A. xrrington, still on fire with love for
God and man. Only eternity can reveal
the good that this humble consecrated
layman is doing. He distributes yearly
thousands of tracts and good books
TT T f -
vvnen we say we were entertained
during our stay under the roof of that
royal Methodist layman, Thomas Hack
ney, no further words are necessary to
emphasize our good fortune. Surrounded
by his loving family, consisting of hi:
excellent wife, his daughter and her hus
band, Dr. Braswell, a bright and pro
gressive physician, and two sweet little
children, Bro. Hackney is enjoying- a
serene old age. Our feelings of grati
tude will not permit us to refrain from
mentioning the kindness of Bro. Gravel v,
who placed his surrey at our disposal on
Monday. He has our thanks.

ful, and of which he may well feel proud.
Our best wishes go with him.

To Preachers and Subscribers.

and the "Oid Raleigh" for which I have
worked so faithfully.
Yours fraternally,
J. D. Gaskins.

Kindness Shown.
"The Preacher Himself" was absent from
home on Christmas night. Not having an
intimation of what was brewing nearer home,
1 11
ne nad gone cli to another of his four
churches to attend a Christmas tree service,
and his wife was in charge not for the first
time. Even she was at a neighbor's, which a
kind sister, and one of the leaders of the in
vaders found out, and intimated over the
wire that it would be prudent for her to re
turn. She did. You know the rest. We
were pounded in a way that no Methodist
preacher, of whom there is any record, ever
objected to.
It was decently and in order, effectively
too, but did not stop with that night. It con
tinues. JNames a-e not necessary. Notice
has been taken by one who says, "Let not thy
lett hand know what thy right hand doeth,"
and to Him we commend these kind people,
among whom a gracious Providence has cast
our lot. This is from,
The Preacher's Wife.
