Roger Williams Day (1907)
The First Baptist Church, Spruce street, rallied in the interest of Roger Williams University last Sunday. Rev. Wm. M. HAYNES, General Manager of Finance, preached an able sermon at the morning service to a fine audience considering the inclemency of the weather. The choir furnished good music. After the sermon the pastor, Rev. ELLINGTON, made a strong appeal in the interest of Roger Williams University. Short talks were made by Deacons W.T. HIGHTOWER and C.B. LOWE; also remarks by Rev. Wm. M. HAYNES. Total collection for Roger Williams University, $18.42. Let all the churches do likewise. Don’t wait for the good weather. We must raise the “Ten thousand dollars.”
Rev. Wm. M. HAYNES, the General Manager of Finance of Roger Williams University, will be glad to visit any of the churches in the interest of Roger Williams University.
