Regardless of how much truth or lack of truth there may be in the old saying that a good preach er is usually a very poor business man, there are exception to this rule to say the least of it. We have read with unusal in terest the annual report of tlie First Christian Church, o£Athens, under the wise leadership of Rev. Stanley R. Hrubb. We doubt if any bank will ever furnish it’s directors a more complete Or com prehensive financial statement oL it’s affairs than the report by Mr. Grubb of his church. One state ment is particulary which reads as follows: “Four years ago w e were congratulating'' ourselves that under God’s provi dence we had been able to erect our new church home and occupy it ,nit ho we were carrying a debt of more than fifteen thousands dol lars. Most of us have felt that it would take us several years to get from beneath this burden. But to day, we come to the beginning of this year rejoicing that it is a thing of the past.” Few men and congregations have ever demonstrated more clearly that there are not many things impossible where the prop er management and spirit are dis played, than this Mr. Grubb and congregation at Athens. This pastor during the past year preached 114 sermons in Athens, 10 special sermons, con ducted 48 pray meetings, con ducted 18 funerals, 10 weddings, made 520 calls and had the over sight and leadership of raising $24,380.95. The results obtained, by this pastor and his congregation de served special comment, and it is with a great deal of pleasure that we are able to furnish our readers with Ibis inspiring work and com and his clmreh t other pastors mend the success of Air. Grubb and congregation as a good ex ample. Another interesting item in the report herein refered to, this pas tor looks upon his achievement of the past year as only a beginning of the work he hopes to do in the future. His report is closed with the following statements: “As minister of this congrega tion lie. to bring to you tills air for this good year upon which we have already entered —one hun aml fifty added to our membership two hundred and seventy-five en rolled in our Sunday school fam ily worship in every home—one ’hundred who will give a tithe or more for the kingdom by the close of i'*2o. Am you willing to pull and persuade and pray to this end?”
