the right direction by this con

solving the 1'Race Problem.” so
called.
The editor had the pleasure ol
visiting this manufacturing con

commend it to those who need

ol it, and, ol our big hearted and

Send in your orders, they wil]
bs plea'ed to serve you
There are several weak and
[ pa forks* churches in the district
made so largely on the account
of faithless preachers. 1 Ins evil
or vacancy will have immediate
presence of Dr. J H. Knowles,
Missionary and Kev, J H. Hunt
who has been appointed as sub
missionary by Dr. Kncwles in
his territory. 1 his was done on
account of the luge teriitoryto
be covered by the missionary with
so few pastors.
Rev. Hunt will report to the
missionary and the Hoard will
hold Rev. Knowles responsible
for his acts as lie was elected by
the assocration. We hope to see
them run somo successful revivals
in the churches mentioned.
Rev. Knowles made a good re
port but the churches failed to '
send any money to him
Rev. J H. Starks, prstor of!
12th St,, church is doing good :
work when you take n account '
the trouble that existed in the;
church before he was called.
Tire m< ssengr r-. were well cared
for by the pa-tors and members.
Notice is hereby given that the
Executive Board of the East Mt. J
Olive Baptist Association togeth
er with the Institute will convene
with|*the Unity Baptise church, j
Brookport 111 ., on -Thursday be
fore the 2nd Lord s day in May.
AH members, friends and con
stituents arc earnestly requested
to b'; present Especially the
pastors Be it known that all j
ministers who are pastoring with- i
in the condors of the East Mt. I
Olive " Baprfst As«o?intion art
air mbers of the board and should
show their intrrest in the district
work by putting in their appear
ance at evey board meeting to
gether with their financial support
to help carry on the district work
We hope the pastors will teach
their several flocks their duty to
the district work as well as to
their own church and pastor.
Our missionary, our building
fund, the old and infirm mem
hers of tne denomination and the
race as well must be ,scen after
and cared for, and this cannot be
done by feathering our nest alone.
If our chickens be many we
must keep all the oggs (hearts)
warm, this is a lesson that is b-ing
briefly learned by the Mt. Olivei
and the East Mt. Olive Associ
ation*.
We had a fine meeting of the
board in Dewmaine Illinois The
Mt. Olive Association was ably
represented by L)rs. J. B. Me
Crarv, Vice Moderator and J H
Knowles, Missionary, together
with a communication from their
Moderator Or. L). Parrish, they
desire a closer relation between
the two organizations. This is
what has been needed upon their
p3rt for e'even years. The liast
Mt. Olive has been that long
teaching this grand and noble
lesson and we are glad they arc
entering into the knowledge o|
he garnered wisdom that lias
been in store for them all these
years the miles of Justice Gcd
grind slowly but surely.
A steady drop wears a stone
least I worry both the typo and
the reader I close with a God
send and a God bless to the old
Missionary Baptist family,
