The Douglas Enterprise. rVOL. 17, NO. 51. 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.

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, “supposed to have been thrown 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.
