I Officers of tlie State Democratic com mittee today predicted that Wm. 11.

The new house of worship for the con gregation of the first Baptist Church was formally dedicated KiAnlay, the morn ing service being 'featured by an able sermon by Dr. Archibald Johnson, editor o,f Charity and OhDdren. of Thomasville. and the evening Service being in the nature of a union, serviee, with all of the downtown ehim-lies participating.

Members from all of the downtown churches ami other chnrehes of the city were present for the two services yesterday and nt the evening service panroiv of the downtown churches were given opportunity to ex press the congratulations, of their congre gations to the Baptist members upon the! completion of their handsome church.

Dr. G. A. Martin, pastor of the church and the moving spirit in its erection,, welcomed the visitors at the evening service, declaring he and the members of his congregation were delighted thnt other congregations of the city could worship with them' in their new home, and extending to wil an invitation to worship at any time with them. The new church. Dr, Mrtin declared, was the goal sought for 39 years by members of the congregation and he said it was fitting that Christians from other churches should be present to rejoice and pray with his brethren on.the completion of the task. ThefFirst Baptist Church here was organiadi- 39, years ago by a Juuul of lqss tlutuflteferty; persons at a meeting in" the coart ntmxe, Dr. MaHfn pointed oat, and* since, the first meeting the congregation lias had its face set toward the goal that Was reached when the new house of worship was formally opened nnd dedicated to the work of God. Dr. Martin also warmly welcomed the pastors who took part in the service, at the same time expressing regret that Rev. J. C. Rowan vqs unable to be p:W ert on account of .illness. The new church. Dr. Martin said, was erected for Christinas and he invited the pastors to take fart in the service because they are striving for the same aims and purposes that he and his congregation arc striving for. ltev. W. A. Jenkins, pastor of the Cen tral Methodist Church, spoke first, de claring every Christian has reason to be proud of the new church. ‘The spirit if competition among the churches is losing out ahd cooperation is taking its place,” Mr. Jerkins said, ” and for ’hat feasor we should ell rejoice that this new church is available for the work of G<kl. The church I speak of iR non-denomina tional. I speak of the Church of i the Living God. In this church we arc all children of God. all members of one great family. It is the task of all to put the truth of Jesus Christ into the hearts of men and to keep alive in the minus of men the love of God. The new church means this work can be bet ter carried on in Cohcord and for my sell and my congregation I bring con gratulations.” Rev. Charles Seovil. rector of Ail ! Saii.ts Episcopal Church, brought felic’- tat'ens from his parish, declaring his, heart “thrilled with pr.de when 1 see 1 this building dedicated to the work of God through sacrifices made by tne con gregation.” God put into the ' hearts of the people a desire for His house,, Mr. Seovil said, and he congratulated the congregation that they have carried out His desire is so beautiful a manner. Rbv. L. A. Thomas, pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, declared the bricks, masonry, wood and paint he saw in the building brought to him n picture that was not of material things. “As I look at these material things I see sac rifices, sleepless nights, prayers and heartaches. But no sacrifice is too great Jor God. When he sacrifice for the church we idealize God. By giving lib erally you have erected a building that should mean more evident work for God and in so doing you have worked wise ly.” Rev. W. C. Lyorly, pastor of Trinity Reformed Church, expressed delight that the new church provides a pulpit big enough to accommodate visiting minis ters and that the pews are big enough to accommodate visitors from all churches. “That means the church has been erected for God and not for any denomination, and it is right that it should." Mr. Lyerly also congratulated tbe congrega tion because the church means Chirstian education can be conducted among the young people. It i« better, he said, to train tne young people in the naw of Jesus than to try tto convert ( them to His way in later year*. M. H. Caldwell waa asked to speak fm the First Presbyterian congregation and he very feelingly congratulated the con gregation.
