Annual Supper and Roll Call of 
First Baptist Church 
The members of the First Baptist 
church and congregation gathered 
in the vestry Wednesday evening 
in accordance with the regular cus- 
tom, for the annual Roll-Call and 
Supper. These gatherings are al- 
ways of great interest and enjoy- 
ment to the members, as many mem- 
bers who are obliged to be absent 
during the year, either return for 
this occasion or send a letter. 
The gathering Wednesday eve- 
ning was a most pleasant one. 
Shortly after six o’clock the com- 
pany sat down to well-filled tables 
and enjoyed a bountiful supper. 
Rev. Clarence S. Pond of Beverly 
Farms, evoked the blessing. The 
next hour was given to diminishing 
the laden tables, which were S80 
graciously presided over by the 
ladies of the church. 
Immediately after supper the re- 
ports of the various branches of the 
church were read. E. S. Bradley 
presented the auditor’s report. Miss 
Nellie Leonard reported for the 
Sunday School and Mrs. Hattie Ba- 
ker prepared the Church Aid re- 
port. These reports were most sat- 
isfactory as they clearly showed a 
year of work and what is more 
gratifying to the worker—success. 
One of the most pleasant sur- 
prises of the evening came when the 
announcement was made that the 
remaining debt of over $100 on the 
parsonage had_ that evening been 
paid by a check from a friend. 
This was the best thing the Church 
Aid society could hear as they have 
worked faithfully to clear this debt. 
The Pastor, Rev. A. G. Warner, 
gave the opening address. He 
spoke of his policy towards the 
church, and his remarks were 
heeded by all present, his earnest- 
ness impressing all. 
Charles H. Fleming of Salem, 
was the next speaker. He prophe- 
cised success for the church under 
Mr. Warner’s leadership, and told 
many humorous stories, adding 
greatly to the evening’s enjoyment. 
Rev. Mr. Martin of Salem, then 
made a few remarks appropriate to 
the occasion. Rev. Arthur E. Harri- 
man of Lynn, formerly pastor of the 
church, spoke most fluently. He re- 
ferred to the revival of 96 and 97, 
and spoke of the other ministers who 
preceded him as sowing fruitful 
seed. When he came the church 
was ready for a harvest, and the 
harvest came, for during that time 
about 65 members were added to the 
church, 17 being baptised at one 
time. He also said that the time 
BRE E 
Z&E 
was ripe for another revival and 
Rev. T. L. Frost had done much in 
preparing the church for the beauti- 
ful condition it was now in. He 
spoke at some length to the mem- 
bers, telling them of the great re- 
sponsibility that rested: on them for 
the salvation of souls and a new 
birth, the need of personal work. 
He likened the church to a_ body, 
each member to do its part and if 
any member failed the whole body 
was a failure. 
During the roll coll each member 
responded with a verse of scripture. 
Several letters were read, a most in- 
teresting one from Rev. D. F. Lam- 
son, a former pastor. The exercises 
of the evening closed by all joining 
hands and singing with great fervor 
““Blest be the Tie that Binds.’’
