Notes from the
Baptist Church
Here it is again; what do you say
for yourself? Pupils on time, 155;
teachers, 10; deacons, 5; collection,
$67.01. What is wrong with us?
The Young Men’s Class “put it
■over” the old fellows. Bill was
away, they say, and they were
caught napping. Now, fellows, that
is hardly fair. Why not say it was
done because tftey had the best class?
■Come on, boys, and do it again.
The T. E. L. Class was the only
Simon-pure 100 per cent class in
the school. Every one enrolled was
present, every one made an offering
and every one staid for the morning
service. How is that for a record?
Others please copy.
We have some serious sickness
yet among our people. Bro. Boyett
is improving after a serious attack
Saturday night., DuPont, is doing
fine. Mrs. T. 0. Whitchard is out
of commission from sticking a nail
in her foot. Dr. Fitzgerald is shut
in at present, due to overwork. A
child of Bro. Kelley is sick.
The weather was real warm last
Sunday, but the people did not stand
back for it. At the morning wor
ship we had a splendid congregation
and for the evening -worship we had
a record-breaking crowd. That is
the way to do it, just come right on
notwithstanding the weather. Bro.
Bodenhamer delivered a splendid
sermon to the large congregation. The
music was the best yet, we under
stand.
We must not forget the Encamp
ment at Bluffton next week. It will
be the best yet. Some of the best
speakers of the country will be on
the program. We believe the pro
gram is the strongest we have had to
date. Certainly our people will at
tend.
The superintendent finds room for
a just complaint again concerning
the little people at the Bible school.
There is a shortage in the Beginners
and Primary Departments of the
school. Will the parents give a little
attention to this important matter
of the children attending?
The pastor is with the church at
Sowhatchee for a part of this
week. The meeting will doubtless
close Wednesday evening. Certainly
the unsaved here have had enough
preaching to understand what they
want to do. The meeting has been
conducted under difficult conditions.
At first the rain kept the people
away, and then when the rain quit
the people went to work.
The pastor is going through the
male membership again for the
weekly prayer services. This was
the most helpful work of all last
year, and only two men refused to
take part. This time we expect to
make it 100 per cent, to the limit.
Everybody on the job is the slogan
now.
Last Sunday in the early after
noon a young man came to the
pastorium and asked for the services
of the pastor to join him to a young
lady he wished to make his life
mate. They were from Ashford,
Ala. Ben Lominack and Miss Nola
Fields were made man and wife,
and went their way rejoicing.
We hope, to have a graduation
service on a Sunday evening when
■we deliver the diplomas of those
who took the work during the train
ing school. We hope this will be
right away. Watch for the an
nouncement.
We hope for a large Bible school
next Sunday’.' The morning and
evening worship with sermon as
usual. Let us repeat what we did
last Sunday—have a large congre
gation. All other services during
the day.
BIRD STOLE BANK KEY;
PURSUED BY LARGE CROWD
A robin caused no small excitement
in Columbus, Ind., when it stole the
key to the doors of the Citizens Na
tional Bank, after the president had
locked the bank and placed the key
on the poarch at the home of the cus
todian. The bird seized the string to
which the key was attached and flew
away. A crowd of citizens was quick
ly gathered and they followed the bird
all over the neighborhood until the
burden became too heavy and was
dropped.

I the meantime, we ask the people of
Georgia, particularly the press, to
suspend judgment until they see
just what the plan involves. The
committee desires the help and ad
vice of the people from every
i section of the State and of every
shade of thought, and communica
-' tions addressed to the secretary of
the committee, Mr. Ronald Ransom,
care Fulton National Bank, Atlanta,
will receive respectful and courteous
attention from the committee.
The committee will present to the
legislature as soon as it can a bill
embodying the essentials of such
, plan as the committee can recom
, mend, and this will serve to get the
plan before the legislature for study
1 by those interested. The committee
• will offer its services to the legisla
. ture in whatever way desired by the
legislature or its committees for the
. further studv and perfecting of the
bill.
Provision has been made for the
• appointment of advisory committees
> in different sections of the State,
and these gentlemen will receive
notice a little later from our secre-
- tary of their appointment. We so-
> licit their co-operation. The com
. mittee is pleased with the offers of
