UNDER BROWN
MT. HELM CHURCH
ENDS GOOD YEAR
By MELVIN C. WIGGINS
Mount Helm Baptist Church
was able to look back with
pride at its first full year un
der the administration of its
new pastor, Rev. T. B. Brown,
Thursday. December 31. in the
final church conference of
1959.
The governing board, com
posed of deacons, trustees, and
the pastor, met in its final
meeting at 6 30 p. m and pre
pared reports and recommen
dations for the general church
conference, which began at
7:30. During the general con
ference annual reports ot the
various auxiliaries and special
committees were made.
The main reason lor the
church’s jubilation stems from
the fact that it successfully
financed the largest budget—
nearly doubt that of the pre
vious year — in the history of
the church to support the pas
tor's program of expansion. A
successful week-long revival
and a considerable increase in
the membership of both the
church and Sunday school pro
vided further reasons for feel
ing proud of a year well spent.
1960 Plans Adopted
Reverend Brown said he was
quite pleased with the way the
church accepted his recom
mendations for 1960. There
was not a dissenting vote to
his 1960 threepoint proposal,
namely: increase of the 1960
budget, use of parsonage as
educational building, initiating
building-fund drive.
Other recommendations for
the continued progress of the
church were adopted, but the
ones mentioned above claim
ed major interest. So deter
mined is the pastor to develop
a church prpgram that will ap
peal to all age-groups that he
has already vacated his par
sonage to provide more room
for Sunday school and other
church activities.
Another adopted proposal,
which could appeal equally
Lemore, Jr. is in charge of
tickets. Tickets arc now7 on
sale for adults one dollar and
students fifty cents. Any mem
ber of Bela Alpha Chapter
may be contacted for tickets.

ments about the program and

well to ail, is the streamlining
of the Sunday morning activi
ties so the regular 11 i m
worship service will last no
longer than 12 o'clock. The
pastor says the main purpose
of the plan U to attract more
young people to the worship
j service.
Most Peaceful Conference
Ending at 9 30 p. m., the con !
ference proved to be one of j
the most peaceful in the his
* tory of the chuich. All re-j
j ports were heard and propo
sals were adopted in time for j
the group to move to the j
1 church annex for the last so
; cial of 1959 prior to the watch !
j service.
, Realizing that even in
, church conferences tempers
often flare up, E. W. Banks,
chairman of the finance com
mittee, commented, “I never
have known an annual church
conference to be consumated
so smoothly. It’s hard to be
lieve we have finished all busi
ness so soon.”
Reverend Brown was appre
ciative for the cooperation he
has received in carrying out
his “total church” program.
With a considerable increase
realized in church member
ship, Sunday School and
church attendance, regular of
ferings, and annual pledges,
progress at Mount Helm has
been almost phenomenal un
der his brief administration,
it is being said.
