FAREWELL LOVE FEAST FOR
DR. AND MRS. R. C, BEAMAN
Surprise Party Given at
Street Methodist Chore
PreaeutWlW
':dud
A farewell "love feast" was held sM#
Chestnut Street Methodist church
Monday evening at 7 =30 in honor of
Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Beaman. It was
ih the nature of a ''surprise party"
for them as they had no intimation of
anything on foot until they saw auto
mobiles arriving and were invited to
come, to the church, where they found
the main auditorium filled with mem-,
bers of the flock of which Dr. Beamed
had been the shepherd for six years.
Mr. t). O. Dukes, superintendent of
the Sunday school, presided and was
master of ceremonies. After prayer
by Dr Beaman a prearranged pro
gram was carried out which consisted
of two songs by a quartet composed
of Messrs. K. M. Barnes, W. W. Davis,
G. E. Rancke and Wilbur Leggett,
solos by Mrs. R. E. .Lewis and Miss
Lula Norment, a reading, "That Old
Sweetheart of Mine", by Misg Eva
Oglesby and short talks by Mrs. D.
D. King, for the Woman's Missionary
society, Messrs. K M. Barnes, D. D.
French, H. E. Stacy, and J. A. Sharpe.
It was a meeting of the family, so
to speak, to- bid farewell to this pastor
wh<*had.b3^,H# Mrs. King
it, a "greatbig father" to ttAmall.
All who ventured remarks tried tAex
press something of thg.love and vene
ration of the entire congregation for
their pastor.
At the conclusion of this program
Mr. F. P. Gray, for the committee
composed of Mesdames R. E. Lewis
and Daisy W Jenkins, Mr. Ira B,
Townsend and himself, appointed to
select some suitable present, present
ed Dr. Beatnan a gold pen and gold
pencil in a neat case and egMi
the picture of an easy chair that
been ordered shipped to his new
at Tarboro. They were gifts at the
congregation and Sunday school.
Dr. Beaman was handicapped in
trying to reply. He had difficulty in
controlling his voice. "You can got am
tmUre surprise#", he said, "than joky
other people I ever saw. I wonder if
you know how hard you are making it
for me to leave." He said he almost
wished he did not love this congrega
tion so much, but that in spite of the
pain it causes him to leave he could
not wishthat. "I can never live long
enough", he said, "to love another
church as I love this one." And not
only the members of his church, he
said, but every person in the town.
At the conclusion of Dr. Beaman's
short talk, sandwiches and coffee
were served and a short while was
spent in social intercourse.
Dr. and Mrs Beaman will leave for
their new charge at Tarboro tomor

h Carolina Baptists pledged
!,449,19 to the "see^ty-five mil
lion mmpaign" in 1919. The pledges
provided that the amount was to be
paid in wedciy instaiiments foa a pe
riod of five years. On December 1,
1923, the total amount of the hedges
due will be $5,641, 489B4. According
to the reports from Baptist head
quartern in Raleigh, the total receipts
for the" seventy—five million cam
paign" up to November 10 was (3,
805,320.61, leaving a deficit at that
date of $1,836,638.78. The probability
of receipts over (100,000 by De
cember 1 is not likely, but heroic ac
tion on the part of churches can cut
the deficit materially.
Dr. B. W. Spillman, of Kinston,
will preside over the sessions of the
convention—he is a presiding officer
of Temarkable parts. His record is
unique—only three other men in the
history of the conVbntHjp have occu
pied the president's chair so many
yedmx Dr. R. H. Marsh was the iast
president tq hold the place over four
yegrs—Dr. Spillman has held it six

Ninety-thr#e years ago—March 23,
1836—in the town of Greenville, in
P&t^ county, the first session of the
North Carolina Baptist, state conven
tion came into life addlbying. It had
been $1 years since Mb sainted Mar
tin Ross, with a visiqb . ef a state
wide organiation of (bptists la his
soul, had offered a resolution at a
meeting of the Chowan Bbptist as
sociation, to the effect that the time
had come when a "general meeting of
correspondence" embracing neighbor
ing ,Bap^st associations should be
held. As organisation was ^e#eeted
nominated the North Carolina Baptist
genera! meeting of conference and
this later became the North Carolina
Baptist Benevolent society and this
was, in 1830, changed to the Baptist
state convention—but Martin Ross
had gone home. /
In 1830 North Carolina enrolled
15.000 Baptists, including white and
colored and there is a record of (700
being raised that year for two ob
jects, education and state missions.
Ninety-'wo years later, in 1922, the
Baptist state convention reported over
325.000 white Baptists and the per
capita contribution was $8.98 for all
objects. In 1830 there was not a
single denominational school In North
Carolina while in 1923 the denominat
ion controls three colleges, one junior
college, and 13 high schools and in
addition there are four educational in
stitutions owned and controlled by
Baptists but not directly under the
control of the denomination. These
educational institutions have a pro
perty value of approximately (3,750,
000 and annually train over 4,500
young men and wome*.
Bnt the advance in educational
work is not all. North Carolina Bap
tist- have caught & world-wide vision
and a vision which includes every
individual of the home land. CM1
dren, parentless children touched the
sympathetic chord, apd the Thomae
vi!!e orphanage wap the result aad
these days mark the age when over
500 are cared for, trained, prepared
for life's battles each year. Over
(150,000 t year is contributed for
this work—a glorious work and it
grows i" the hearts of the people.
The sick have appealed to the denom
ination and the result is that the
first Baptist hospital was opened
during the year. It is located at
Winston-Salem and is a modem hos
pital, well-equipped and well-located.
Just now, the Baptists of Charlotte
are engaged in the enterprise of pro
viding a Baptist hospital for the
people of that section—independent
'f the state convention —but a Bap
tist hospital. The care of the aged
.nA(infirm ministers has become c ore
than a mere name—it is a fact, in
North Carolina. These men who have
?truggled along and have reached the
point where they are unable to work
and because of the smallnajs of their
incomes in the working yearq are with
out income are cared for by the de
nomination.
The years have been wonderful
years and yet there is a tremendous
task ahead of the denomination. Dar
ing the past four years the emphasis
has been placed upon the collection of
the pieces made in 1919 for what
campaign'^ -In that -campaign, the
Baptists of the south proposed to raise
and expend $75,000,000 for denomina
tional objects during the following
five years. The fourth year ends
