REV. AND MRS. F. P. JONES
Burn Mortgage; Cele-^
brate 9th Anniversary
MOUNT MORIAH BAPTIST
CHURCH HAVE A FULL DAY
OF REJOICING LAST SUNDAY
Sunday October 6, was a day of
great rejoicing at the Mt. Moriah
Church. A large enthusiastic
congregation of members and
friends were present throughout,
the day and participated in the ser
vices which marked the closing of
a weeks celebration of the pastor’s
9th anniversary, and the burning
of the mortgage on the church
Rev. Jones, pastor of the Mt.
Moriah Baptist Church and Mod
erator of ‘he New Era State As
sociation, and Vice President of
the National Baptist Convention
for Nebraska accepted the pastor
ate of the Mt. Moriah church 9
years ago at which time the church
was at its lowest ebb. The mem
bers had become discouraged,
many had gone to other churches
others were scattered abroad, and
those who remained had lost hope
of ever recovering. The church
and parsonage were threatened
with foreclosure. So in the face
of such a condition the question
was asked Can these bones live?
Rev. Jones said yes, There is hope
where Jesus leads. Therefore his
motto was "It can be done’’ and he
set himself to the task of reviving
the church and callinjg back the
scattered sheep, deepening their
faith in God and confidence in his
ability to lead them out of the
shackles which had held them in
bondage for so many years. So,
as the result of his sacrifical serv
ice, wise planning and honest lead
ership our church is clear of debt
and parsonage reconditioned.
Therefore the darl^ clouds vfhich
overshadowed us have been dis
pelled> and the dawn of a new day
has begun.
The following pastors and
churches participated during this
celebration. Rev. C. Q. Hickerson,
Bethel, Rev. A. W. T. Chism, Sal
em, Rev. F. C. Williams, Zion, Rev
E. D. Johnson; St. John, Rev. F.
S. Goodlett Pilgrim, Rev. J. H.
Reynolds, Pleasant Green, Rev. J.
P. Mosley Mt. Olive, Rev. W. M.
Pruitt, Mt. Nebo, Rev. E. G. White
Morning Star, Jas. Crowder St.
Luke, Rev. D. Nicholson, Clarinda,
Iowa and Rev. P. M. Harris, State
Missionary.
The mortgage was burnt during
a very impressive service Sunday
night. A musical program and a
Goodwill fellowship celebration
on Monday night climaxed this
great event. Refreshments were
served free in the beautifully dec
orated dining room. Presentation
was made and many words cf
praise and thanks were given Rev.
and Mrs. Jones by those who
spoke- Too much praise cannot be
given to all committees who served
