the brass, the silver and (the
gold broken to pieces, together ;
and became like the chaff of the
summer threshing floors; and
the wind carried them away,
that no place was found for
them: and the stone that smote
the image became a great moun

BROOKLYN CHURCH NOTES
By Mrs. F. J. McGill
Sunday morning our pastor,
Dr. C. H. Shute, preached to us
from II Cor. 5:10, “For we must
all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ; that every one
may receive the things done in
his body, according to that he
hath done whether it be good or
bad.” The sermon was very im
pressive and all went away with
food for thought during the
week.
Our services Sunday nights
are very interesting. The song
service which begins a few min
utes before service is very im
pressive.
Quite a number of visitors
worshipped with us in our ser
vices Sunday night. Among
them were Miss Annie Chres
field of Monroe, Miss Alwilda
Means, Mrs. Fannie Poe and
Mrs. Gilliard, of Seventh Street
church, and Mr. and Mrs. John
Starnes who visit us frequently
Miss Annie Brodie returned

PINE STREET CHURCH
(Continued from page 1)
loved ones, for the tie bihds for
ever. We ask God’s benediction
to abide with them.
The members of Pine Street
church are continuing to climb
the heights of Godly fear, and
Christian love. Rain or shine
the faithful are ever in their
places on time to begin the ser
vices. They realize that “God
is in His holy temple.” They
are willing workers and meet
every demand of the church.
They have long since deter
mined, like St. Paul, “For me to
live is Christ.”
One of the admirable feat
ures of Pine Street church is
that we begin promptly on time.
“Time and tide wait for no
man,” neither do we wait. Our
pastor begins on time and he
preaches promptness. Dear
Christian workers, let us begin
all services, all meetings on
time. Teach our people law, or
der and the value of time, so
that they will not merely drift
with the tide but have a definite
aim in life that will land them
somewhere.
Our pastor is spending his va
cation at Columbia University,
New York, seeking a clearer vis
ion of God’s truths. His loving
coworkers are patiently waiting
for his return. They are a
faithful band working for the
Master, and striving hard to be
like Him.
“We ask thee, dear Lord, to
shape our lives,
And make them more divine;
That we may ever hear thy
voice
In every word and line.”
A GREAT REVIVAL IN THE
SUNDAYSCHOOL
Mr. Editor:—Will you please
allow me a little corner in the
Africo-American Presbyterian
to say we have just closed our
Children’s Day at Pittsburg
church, and it was the best in
the history of the church. We
had Sunday school in the morn
ing with the lesson taught by
Rev. Ramseur of Moore’s chapel
circuit.
At 2:30 we reassembled and
began our program with spirit
ual songs. The enthusiasm got so
high that amens and shouts
were heard all over the church.
The people really shouted so
that we could not render the
program. So we went right to
a revival. Rev. Ramsuer came
in at 8:30 o’clock and caught
on the Holy Ghost fire
and preached a wonderful ser
mon. He took for his text the
52nd chapter of Isaiah and the
first verse. Rev. Ramseur
stayed with us three nights and
preached to a packed house
every night. Six souls were
savea.
Wednesday night the writer
preached. We took for our
text Matthew 3: 4, subject,
“God’s Messenger.
Thursday night, Rev. W. A.
Hawkins, the pastor, came in.
He caught the spirit and
preached to the delight of all.
He took for his text the 14th
verse of the 10th chapter of
Luke.
Friday night Rev. G. P. Fish
er came in. His text was, “As
Moses lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness even so must the
Son of Man be lifted up.” Sub
ject, “Lifting Up Jesus.” Two
souls were saved that night.
Sunday at the usual hour
Rev. W. A. Hawkins preached
and in the afternoon he gave
communion. The total number
of conversions was 10.

inson, of High Point.
With the memory of an after
noon well' spent we relustantly
left, ready to give Grace Sab
bath school a large vote of
thanks.
Sunday
Sunday morning Dr. J. A. Bon
ner, pastor of the Grace Presby
terian church, delivered the Con
vention sermon from the text,
“So the Lord alone did lead
him.” Gen. 32:12. The theme of
the discourse was “Divine Guid
ance.
On Sunday morning the Mod
el Sunday School was held in the
church at 12:45 with Mr. C. W.
Robinson, of High Point, acting
Superintendent, and Miss Rog
ers, Secretary. The attendance
was very large.
The classes had been graded
and teachers appointed to take
charge of each class. Mr. B. C.
Ellison was an able assistant to
the Superintendent.
A very interesting session was
held and the delegates were im
pressed with the fact, viz.;
schools should begin on time and
close on time. This model school
opened on time, closed on time
and each signal required prompt
obedience much to the annoy
ance of a few who were accus
tomed to talking on after the
signal to stop.
At eight o’clock the closing
session of the Convention was
held. The Rev. C. A. Washing
ton, of High Point, preached a
very able sermon from the text
Luke 10:30, theme, “Two Roads
in Life.”
After the sermon resolutions
of thanks to the Grace Presbyte
rian church and the friends of
Winston-Salem were read and
adopted, thus closing a pleasant
and successful Sabbath School
Convention. The next meeting
will be held in August, 1928.
NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIB
ERS.
We are sending account
statements to many of our sub
scribers, and it is earnestly de
sired that they and others who
owe the Africo-American Pres
byterian will let the Editor hear
from them. The paper is great
ly in need of funds at this time,
and a prompt response to this
notice by its friends will help it
to “carry on.” Don’t put it off;
attend to your subscription to
day!

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT,
BY SALISBURY CHURCH j
Whereas, God in His infinite j
wisdom has called the gentle
spirit of our dearly beloved
brother and co-Worker to iflie
great beyond, we bow our
heads in humble submission to
His will; and,
Whereas, the Presbyterian
church and the Deacons’ Board
has sustained an irreparable loss j
in the death of Brother Milas.
McConneghey; and, * V
Whereas, Brother McConne
ghey was a loyal and true Chris
tian, always willing to do what
jever he could for the betterment
and upbuilding of his church. He
loved his church and no sacrifice
seemed to be too great for him
to make for it. He will be missed
in the church and the Deacon
Board on which he served so
faithfully will miss him. There
fore, be it,
Resolved, That to his fellow
co-workers who remain to carry
on the task that is before us, his
life shall be a constant reminder
of faithfulness to duty, fidelity
to trust, honesty and integrity
of purpose in the cause which we
represent. A faithful servant
has gone to his reward.
Resolved further, That we, the
members of the Presbyterian
church and the deacons do now
express our deepest sympathy
to the bereaved family. We
grieve with them in this their
hour of sorrow and command
them to the heavenly Father
who doeth all things well.
Be it further resolved that* a
copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the
Deacon’s Board and that one be
sent to the Africo-American
for publication.
A precious one from us has gone,
A'voice we loved is stilled;
A place: is vacant in our midst
That never can be filled.
Respectfully submitted by the
Deacon Board.
