Holland would draw blacks from Waughtown and the rest T)f Winston and?Salem to meet "anywhere he could get the people together" for worship services. One week the worship site might have been out-of-doors, the next' week in Hinshaw's Hall, but interest grew to the extent that Holland decided the city was ready for its first black Baptist church in 1879. (St. Paul's United Mehtodist, the city's first black church, began in 1871.) The congregation that resulted from Holland's pioneering work has been celebrating its centennial year as First Baptist Church - Highland Avenue - throughout 1979.

Rice x I oTwiiL SOVEREIGN Jerry McMillian zr -GRACE t= Tabernacle The Chapel, Forsyth Funeral Home Weekly Study No man has power to resist the questions of human origin, worth, purpose, and destiny. These questions irresistably steal in upon our consciousness and compel our consideration of them. The Holy Scriptures alone must answer them. Concerning man's oriain. the hihi* ???- ^ _ a . ? .....wo >ii?i iic was maat II ^1 after a consultation within the Godhead: "Let us make man," , I Genl:26. This address was not to angels for that would then entitle them to worship from men (which thing is expressly II forbid. Col. 2:18). That no such consultation was held at the I making of other creatures but only for man "shows what an excellent and finished piece of work God meant to make" (john Gill). ( Evolutionists attribute man's existence to ages-long mechanical forces and processes at work which are not yet complete. However, the bible affirms that man did not gradually emerge 11 from primeval slime, but he was created by an "immediate divine act in which matter and spirit were fused together and II given existence as a living soul'MG.L. Williamson). All men, |l thereby, are exhorted to remember God as their Creator, Eccles 12:1. for "it is he that hath made us and not we ourselves." Ps. 100:3. Man was formed of the dust of the ground and the breath of God's spirit. This has caused many bible scholars to divide as whether man is a union of body and soul or body, soul, and spirit. Regardless of which, man is unique in creation for he is a I lind binding the world of matter and spirit together. While people may kill the body but they cannot kill the soul, Matt. 10: z8. This immortality of the soul is conferred upon it. by God II who alone possesses absolute immortality being self-existent. The death of the soul is the destruction of its spiritual life by sin and separation from God's favor. Man's body distinguishes admirably from lower animals J| because of his erect nostur#* it 1 , .. vr.?w.i uujsivcu in??i only ne can iook upward toward heaven to adore and thank '?od who has made and preserved him. Man's soul relates to the self and the functions of understanding, will, and affection. Thus he thinks, feels, purposes, and loves. The conscience is soul "recognizing the nature of obligation to Cod" (James Boyce), that is, our duty to do right and avoid evil. Man was made in God's image, that is. he was made a partaker of many divit.e qualities" (Thomas Watson). Besides self-consciousness, self-determination, and personal freedom, he was good like God. "The stamp of holiness was on the first man" (James Pendleton). Thus man was made for perfect bliss and to rrfWt his Creator. lamea C.
