Since its birth no year, no quarter has passed without some quarterly and annual gathering. There seems to be an increased in terest and inspiration at each ses sion. and this is what we should look for and work for. Last week the quarterly session wus held In the Springhill church. 33rd and Emmett streets, of which Rev. J. H. Bruce is the pastor. Too much praise can not he given to this young progres sive pastor and people for the splen did way that they have entertained the Association. This is the first lime that we have held a three-day session during the quarterly meet ings; and yet. there has been on slackening up of attendance and in terest. There is every indication to the effect that the Baptists of our state are taking on a new vision of their great commission. Nearly every church was represented in some form, officially or otherwise. We are looking forward to our annual gath ering, which comes off in June, and will be held in Mt. Moriah Baptist church. Let every minister, every one who claims that God gives him his call, he on the Job; let every dea con, every member, demonstrate his activity for kingdom extension in state and foreign work. The officers and ministers covered themselves with glory at last wek’s session, and there is no question, but, that the Springhill church and pastor have received some impetous for greater accomplishments. * ! . . ---•-* iwiAWAwi YWfl jwt rauwAW am tom m wa to; | 1‘llXiKIM BAPTIST CHURCH.
