One of the most interesting ques- Much Regret Expressed Over Mr. Thiot’s Leaving the City Rev. R. W. Thiot, who came to Au gusta December Ist, 1910, from Ft. Pierce, Florida, has accepted a call to the Tabernacle Baptist church, New born, N. C., and will leave here for his new field about the first of June. Mr. Thiot leaves Augusta over the protest of his people. So attached have the members of his church be come to him that they offered him many inducements to stay in Augusta, but he feels that the Lord wants him in the Old North State. Had he re mained in Augusta it is said the church would have undertaken to build and equip a Tabernacle church in some suitable location. He leaves his people iU Curtis feeling that he will have larger opportunities to build and to grow in New Bern. Mr. Thiot came to Curtis church as a supply. At first it was feared he was two young and Inexperienced for that pulpit and work. But he took hold of the' work with such utter aban don of self, and such devotion to the cause that it early became evident that he was the man for the field. He was called and accepted. At that time the church was not re garded as hopeful. Its location was generally regarded .as unfavorable. Many of the members were discour aged, and it was notunuusual to hear the suggestion of removal. Mr. Thiot’s zeal and hard work won for him the confidence of the membership, and the church took on new life from the be ginning of his pastorate. The congre gations have grown, new life has been created in the church and Sunday school, and the organization is regard ed as one of the strongest churches in the association. Mr. Thiot has been Very prominent in most all movements to better tho city. He has ever been on the side striving for a better city. In these ef forts he has had a united church back of him. His connection with the Pro testant Pastors Association has been greatly appreciated by that body, and he has held several offices of honor in the organization. In the work of the Bap tist churches he has done his best to interest them in the larger wgrk of the denomination. For some time he published Christian Service, a. monthly periodical, and devoted to the interests of Curtis church and the Hephzftah Association. For several weeks during each summer he has done evangelistic work in the neigh borhood of Augusta, and the metings have been blessed with splendid re sults. f Vice President B. Y. P. U. Mr. Thiot has taken a great interest Rev . G. Croft Williams, Vicar of the Christ Church, Has Organized a “Girls* Friendly Society** Recently Rev. G. Croft Williams, vicar of Christ church, organized a Girls’ Friendly Society in his church. This adds to Christ church another organization which will make for the development of the young people in the community. The church is ever reaching out for the young folks, and this society will reach many not as yet interested. The Girls’ Friendly Society was fc inded in America in 1877. It was at once seen to be of great importance to the young women of the country, and it has had a splendid growth. At present there are more than 25,000 active members with several thous and associate members. The society thus organized is in touch with the clubs of the organization in most of the large cities of our country, while the organization is wide awake in Europe and other parts of the world. It is to be hoped that the young peo ple of Mr. Williams’ church and the community will give the society their support. Open to All. Mr. Williams says the organization Is not confined to the young women REV. J. B. DERRICK IS BACK FROM CONFERENCE Rev. J. B. Derrick, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran church, Greene street .attended the conference of hl» church last week which met at Cam eron, S. C. Mr. Derrick is the presi dent of the conference and has made for himself a large place in the hearts of his fellow churchmen. The honor the conference is glad to bestow upon Mr. Derrick is much appreciated by the members of his church and his many friends in the city. Dr. Derrick has returned and will fill his regular appointments today and this evening. While at the conference Mr. Derrick preached the opening sermon to a large and appreciative congregation. Those who know his gifts feel sure that It was an able sermon, and one calculated to uplift the brotherhood. Mr. Derrick is one of the busy pas tors of our, city. He Is the pastor of the Holy .Trinity church, one of the largest Lutheran churches of town, and ho has charge -of the Lutheran church of GranltevlUe, H. r„ also. On Sunday mornings he pgeaches here and In the evenings at GranltevlUe. His people are devoted to him In each church. He has a large number of friends among the other churches who appreciate him for hi* work's sake. tior.s before the conference was the Vanderbilt matter. After some con troversy the conference put itself on record as standing by the Bishops of the M. E. Church South. The meetings have been full of in terest from the beginning, and good crowds have attended the services. Most of the churches in the district are well represented. The presiding elder on the district is Rev. J. IV. Kilgo, D. D., and he is very much loved by the ministers of the district and the people in general. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. J. P. Inabnet, Columbia, S. C. He made a fine impression on the min isters and the people. Most of the first day’s session was taken up with reports on schools and colleges. The reports all showed more or less progress. The Methodists have become leaders In educational matters, and the reports at the conference showed how well they had planned their work, and the strategic points they have taken for the purpose of reaching young America. in the work of the churches in the state. At present he is vice president of the State B. Y. P. U. Convention. At the meting last year he preached the Introductory sermon before the con vention, pnd the message was highly spoken of over the state. His Sunday Sshool Institutes at Curtis under the auspices of the State Board of Mis sions of the Baptist State Convention have been of great help to the Sunday school teachers of his church and to many in and out of the city. He has generally attended all the state meet ings of the Baptist churches of Geor gia, and his friends will miss him, and wish him every success in his new home. It is with, pleasure that we give here some facts and figures relative to the work of Curtis church since Rev. Mr. Thiot took the care of the flock. For the first associational year there were added to the church roll members. The second year 60 were added, and last year 89, while 50 have been received within the last six months, a total of 290 for the three years and six months of service. The finances Ipave done equally as well. In 1910- the church raised $3,700, in 1911- $4,800, 1913-14, $5,100, and for the last six months $2,500, making a total of $16,500. The Sunday school has grown from 35 to an average at the church and mission of 200 per Sun day. Mr. Thiot leaves the church in a first rate working condition. Many of the people are deeply interested in the work of the church. He has ap pointed a, strong committee on the se lection of a preacher. They are plan ning to secure a pastor who will keep up the work as outlined by the retiring minister. They wiSh also to get a man who will continue preaching the doctrines emphasized by Mr. Thiot. The, church so far as known has no factions in it and perfect harmony prevails. New Bern, N. C„ is located on the coast of the state, and is a noted har bor. The city has a population of 1600 It has all modern improvements of a city much larger. There are street cars, electric lights, etc. The Taber nacle church was organized about 20 years ago, and has a large membership. It is said that often the church will not accommodate the people. The church will allow the pastor all the. time he wishes for evangelistic work. Mr. Thiot believes this is the greatest opportunity of his life, and he goes confident of success. His many friends here wish for him and his a most successful and happy pastorate in his new field. of his church but that any young lady of good character will be admitted. At present there are forty odd mem bers. The directors of the society are Deaconess Boorman, Miss Sarah V. Middleton and Miss Sarah Campbell. These young women are well known in the city and will make the new society very popular. The aim of the society is to assist the young women In building charac ter. The basis of their work will be the Christian religion. It is not neces sary to say that work of this kind often leaves Christ out, and the Girls' Friendly Society guarantees the per petuity of their organization when they take Jesus in as partner. The society meets every Friday night at the Parish House of Christ church, and a good time they have. Some evenings are devoted to sewing, so le to reading, some to music, some to games, and at times they have a party. One or more of the leaders is at the meetings and do their best to make the organization a success. At their meeting last Friday night there were thirty-one present and all had a good time. REV. P.
