Douglas Baptist Church Notes.
BY ALEXIS D. KENDRICK, Pastor.
Quite a number of the church
members and those who are not,
are sick in our town, and we
should not forget to render all
of the service at our command
to these in this time of need.
The church and congregation
worshipped with the Presby
terian church Sunday evening
and heard a strong and helpful
sermon by Brother Fleming.
The series of sermons on The
Second Coming of Christ that
was to have been continued last
Sunday evening will be continued
on this coming Sunday night,
the topic will be The Antichrist,
his character and his work. The
Bible has a great deal to say
about this character and his work,
but to most church goers the
subject is known but little.
The Ladies Missionary Society
will meet Monday afternoon at
4 o’clock. There are a number
of ladies who ought to become
members of this society and give
their support to this worthy cause
fostered by the society.
The New School Buildings and
the Saw Mill buildings will bring
a number of strangers to our
town. To these and all visitors
and strangers we give a cordial
invitation to our church and Sun
day School services. We would
like to meet all of these people
at the close of the sendees.

which meets at 2:30 p. m. Mon
day’s is growing in interest and
numbers. The pastor is lectur

The remains of a blue eyed
girl baby, about a month old,
was found in a creek, on the out
skirts of Savannah, last Monday,

from a passing vehicle from the
country.’’ Savannah need not
try to put off her meanness on
the “country.”
to receive her kindly for her
works sake, but we know all will
do this.
The pastor appreciates the
messages sent him by friends
telling of those who are sick and
new comers to our town. We
especially urge the people to
phone or in some other way notify
us of those who are sick. It will
take only a few minutes to phone
the name of any who are ,sick or
a new family moving into our
town, and the kindness will
greately help the pastor in his
work, and possibly enable him
to render some service which will
be helpful to others.
