that our church anc S. S. are

Saturday night and it was the
greatest ever witnessed.

at 1:33 P. M. and the Lord’s
supper was administered. Avery
small sum of $15 75 was raised.

Rev. G. W. Rowlett, who has
supplying the pulpit for some
time, in fact, the acting pastor
preached one of the best sermons
that it has been our pleasure to
listen to for some time. It was
full of logic, sound reasoning and
gospel truths. Rev. Rowlett is
cne of the most, able ministers in
southern Illinois or in the state
lor that matter, and is worthy ol

Baptist is prospering under his
leadership as she has more peace
now than she has had (or more'
than a year and it seems that the
members are coming together and
the (actional differencrs are being
adjusted amicably and christian
ly. We can see no reason why
the members under the present
state ol affairs, taking tinder ad
visement the ^winter, hard tiroes
and the indebtness, running ex
penses and tbc debt the church
will incur by tbe completion of
the interior of the building, that
Kev. Rowlett is left at the helm
and aH the members rally around
the center and touch elbows and
go forward to the task set before
jthem. Common sense ai d busi
nesslike men and women could
see this and prosper, Lon’» put
down your own whom you know
to be a safe and sane leader for
some whom youdont know wheth
er he would suit this particular
place or not.
Which will pay the churcb the
better to take $25. or $30. per
month and have $10. or $15 to
her credit or to take up $35 00
and pay it all out to a preacher?
I am in lavor ol Kowlctt hold
ing the churchy so long as it is
prospering as it is. He is clean,
sale and tried, and he is no wir.e
bibbei nor whisky sot.
1 am acuated to write this be

ing the financial strain under
which all the churches are labor
ing in Metropolis it is wise to
adjust our expenditures to our in

may say about home preachers
they have proven to be your best

Wc wrote an article before
Xmas about $25.00 that was said
to have been given to the African
Baptist church by the saloon in
terest, and at time we promise to
give a statement in these columns
about the moneyas soon as we
found out as to who the party or
parties were that accepted the
money in the name of the church.
and at the same church was not
responsible tor the taking of the
money, if such was tiue. Some
ol the officers wanted to have us
churched for turning on the light
or making the inquiry as it was in
the mouth of every one, but that
suggestion fell flat when we assert'
ed our manhood and told them to
church, because we would do it
again under the same condition.
The more discreet brethren
made a motion that the party or
parties guilty of bringing the dis
grace and reproach against the
church without its knowledge pre
pare an article and have it pub
lished in the paper exonerating
the church from the charge, and
the same was carried. Up to
this time this order has not been
carried our so far as we know, and
if the same is not made public in
in the near future, the editor will
give to its readers the ones know
ing into the transaction and let
the blame rest where it rightly be
longs. We have found out all
about it as some of the parties
concerned and not members o*
the church either have laid bare
the whole transaction and the
party who paid the money. The
church is hot guilty as charged

Greeting:
This Cnsing message lor the
ye?r 1913 comes to you from one
whose heart runs out lor every
one in thoughtfulness to God (or
preserving the lives ol us all to
see the closing ol another year's
work. As we look about us and
see what has been done for both
missions and education we say
what hath God wrought.
Many many souls has been
born into the Kingdom ol God. t
According to reports from out
pastors of the churches and thi
General Missionary and the4Dis
trict Missionaries more souls have
been brought into service than
ever before in the ^history ol our
State for which we join you in
praising the Lord for both the
work and the workers. New
churches have been established
and our pastors and eur [pastora
are being better provided It r
which enables them to do a mor*
efficient work. For the work
man saith holy writ is worthy his
hire. God has been good in that
all of our pastor’s lives have been
spared and there is more harmo
ny among the Christians. Our
educational worth is receiving
more attention; at Metropolis
the work goes well according to
reports and the fu*ure will tell for
good if the brethren in that por
tion of the State will only contin
ue to live up and get closer.
The Chicago Religious Train
ing Seminary has taken on new
lile since they .have opened io
their splendid new and comfort
able quarters at 3333 S Wabash
Ave. Chicago. New students gc
„ * -_• * .4
entering almost daily. Tie
whole faculty deserves much
praise. Several cl the chortles
are paying the W3ges of students
Olivet is sending and paying for
six outright, but brother pas
tors and churches I fear with all
of the above done we are leaving
much undone. Each chutchwas
asked and expected to raise and
send to the Treasurer one dollar
per month for our state work.
How many of you have done
this brethren? All who havo not
paid in this amount should do so
at once that our workers should
not suffer. Much is expected of
you brethren because of the age
in which you live and the work
to be; done. Don't let the year
close and you direlcct of duty,
You cannot do next year what
you should have done this year
even ii you should live the whole
year out.
Who will be the first to send
in your portion where you are
behind?
Fraying the blessing of God
upon every church and pastor and
wishing you a merry Christmas.
1 am your brother
