Dear papa,and mama,(Jake
and nBee Gee")
We had one to join the church last night,
and it was a big surprise to every body
because he was the son of Baptist parents.
I made a short talk on our mode of baptism
in the presence of quite a number of
Baptists and Christians. Told them I would
announce soon a sermon on the subject of
baptism. Perhaps when they hear a clear
treatment of the subject from our point of
view they will not be so ha-rd to shake
from their positions to join our church.
Not that we want to proselyte anybody, but
we want to get them into a church where they
oaf be active and useful.
Bessie Grace, I guess you are right on to
your exams for gradua-tion now, and will be
relieved when they are over. At Presbytery
last week I saw quite a number of old A.C.
men who aroused me afresh to a desire to
go to c mmencement. Seems that a large
number f old students are planning to go.
Wish it wasn't so far,I would get off for
a day or so anyway.
We are to entertain Rev.Plumer Smith of
the African mission field during the meeting
of the. Eastern Texas Presbyterial Auxiliary
which convenes here tonight. We expect him
in about noon today and we are busy cleaning
house and getting ready for the affair as
a whole.
Lots cf love to all,
