First Baptist Church Has Made Great Record During Past 8 Years Dr. C. H. Durham States Some Inter esting Facts at Service on 8th An niversary of Second Pastorate Here. WONDERFuJpROGRESS MADE. Figures a Reveiation Even to Mem bers of Congregation—Dr. Durham's First Pastorate Here Covered a Period of !4 Years. With a prayer that the next eight years might be even greater in re suits for the advancement of the kingdom of God, Dr. C. H. Durham dosed Sunday morning at the First Baptist church a service in which he reviewed the work of this church dur ing the eight years of his second pas torate here and unfolded a record of advancement and growth that was a gratifying revelation, and astonish ing withui, even to members. Some interesting Figures. During the past eight years the congregation of the First Baptist church of Lumbeyton has contributed to ail church purposes the grand total of $166,916, which is just siightly less than twice the total for the proceed ing 8-year period. This is a yearly average of $20,861.50. For benevol ences during this last 8-year period the church has raised j$l07,419, a yearly average of $13,430. During the preceeding 8-year period the totai for bencvolentes was less t^an one-fourth as much, or $25,920. For local expenses during the last 8 years the church has raised $54,467, included in that amount being $6,000 for a Baptist church in North Lumberton. Daring the preceeding 8-year period this con gregation built a Baptist church in West Lumberton. Citing these figures, not boasting ly but mcreiy as concrete evidences of growth and outward manifestation of an inward spirit, Dr Durham said that there is a greater spirit of unanimity in the congregation than ever before and that he does not think that any pastor anywhere has ever had more hearty cooperation, and urged that greater stress than ever before be placed upon spiritual growth. Membership of this church has in creased about 200 during the past 8 years^, notwithstanding the fact that during that period the congregation erected a church in North Lumber ton t$ which many former members were transferred Dr. Durham has served as pastor of the First Baptist church of Lum berton for 22 years, coming first to this church 26 years ago, in 1900, four years after he entered the ministry.
