Charleston, S. C.?The Services g
for the clay at Morris Street Baptr, J
church, Ffeb. 4, proved to be very p
enjoyable. Sunday school befean \
at 9:30 o'clock. This being such
a pleasant day the spirit of the
people corresponded with it, every *
thing weint on pleasant. There P
wa8-a large attendance at Sunday
school with the six departments. a
functioning in almost a perfect P
order. Now that our Sunday school Y
is working on the six point sys- ?
tem with all its departments" everything
seems hai'mnninm >?
The morning service began at
11 a.m^ A large crowd attended, j
This was a special service. The
Pastor, ?Rev. Dunbar preached a ^
veiy inspiring sermon installing h
which numbered about 32. Hist **
(?!
text was taken from Luke 2:52.' ~ j
Proverbs 4:7. Subject: "Leadership".
He brought out some very ^
strong points that would be very g
helpful to the parents, worker r, _?
member3 and friends who heard _
him. Some of the good points ](
were: 1. Education is not learning
but they are closely allied. It is ^
laying up facts in the mind, It
is a part of one's self. It-"will have
to be devleoped and controlled. 2. B
"Learning" is a possession. Some d
of the things to be developed in w
or.e's self a:e: strength, activity, ^
beauty and duration.? He also said b
that there is only one thitig great
on earth ar.d that is man; and f
only one thing great in man and fi
that is his mind. The ideals irr *
Man's mind are no good unless a
they are materialized. Some of
the things needed are jierseva- .
tion plus hard work.
In his closing remarks he said ^
that the principle idea is to get
wisdom and in all your wisclom
get understanding. He begged f<
the parents to cooperate with the E
workers and by doing this it would R
help the Sunday school which is sl
no more an organization of the F
church but the church itself. In r
other words the Evangelistic part ^
of the church. n
I am pleased to relate this fact,
that i fthe members, friends, parents
and workers who heard this ^
wonderful sermon that was de- ^
livered by the pastor in his most
god-like manner, will take heed to,
itr much benefit could be derived
ffrom it. n
BYPU was largely attended. c
CI
The evening sermon was preach
ed by the pastor also. This sermon
was just a continuation of
tjie mcnning'f str-mom Subject:
"The Word of God is a Name for R
Christ". One outstanding pbirt f
he gave was (hat the word "f c'
