tion of a new one. Nearly all the State organiza- tions have been organized in this church at intervals from 1865 up to the present time, and while the Baptists of Kentucky are pioneers in organized ef- forts, this church may also be regarded as the pio- neer in the forming of these organizations. Its pastors have been leaders in all denominational en- terprises, and their long pastorates and upright lives have given them and the church prominence and distinction in the community.
"ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, PARIS, KY.
Zion Baptist Church is a branch from the African Baptist Church of the same city. During the pas- torate of the Rev. Elisha Green, a part of the mem- bers became dissatisfied because of the fact that he spent only two Sundays in a month with the African church at Paris, and the other two with the Bethel church at Maysville.
A committee waited upon Rev. Green and em- phasized the fact that the time had come when the African Baptist church should hold services every Sunday, and that it was to the interest of the church that he resign the African or the Bethel church. This, Rev. Green refused to do. That part of the church which was dissatisfied with the "Two Sun- day Service" asked that they be organized into a sep- arate organization.
Rev. Green and the other part of the church con- sented to this and in the summer of 1884 (?), Rev. Elisha Green and Rev. M. M. Bell organized the church, in Marble Hall on Main Street.
A young man by the name of W. R. Davis, who had been assisting Rev. Green, became the first pas-

tor. A short time afterwards Rev. W. R. Christian was called as the pastor. He purchased the ground where the present building stands and built a little frame building on the rear end of it. Rev. J. W. Hawkins was the next pastor. He laid the founda- tion of the present church. The foundation stood for about ten years before the building was actually begun by Rev. H. Nutter. He put up the building, seated it and dedicated it in 1900. Between Revs. Hawkins and Nutter, Revs. Whimley and J. F. K. Moreland held pastorates. Rev. Nutter accepted a call to the church at Newport, Ky .. Rev. A. L. Caul- der was called to Zion, but he remained only a short while and Rev. Nutter was re-called. In 1912, Rev. Nutter accepted a call to the Macedonia Bap- tist church, Cynthiana, and Rev. T. J. Smith, of Ver- sailles, succeeded him as pastor.
THE PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH
Of Middletown, Ky., was organized, June 4, 1905, with eight members. Rev. H. A. Scott, the present pastor, was called to this charge, May 4, 1913. He found the church in a poor condition.

Scott was born in Henry county, Ky., and attended the common schools of the county and State Univer- sity, Louisville, Ky.

The subject of this sketch was born in Branden- burg, Ky., July 26, 1847, and was brought to Louis- ville, when quite a lad.

He pro- fessed religion when a young man and connected himself wih the Fifth Street Baptist Church.

He has been a deacon and trustee for many years.
290
THE GOLDEN JUBILEE
He has the reputation of being an excellent secretary and as a consequence is almost without exception elected to that position.
He was secretary of the old State Sunday School Convention. When the National Baptist Conven- tion was organized, he was its efficient secretary for many years, until he retired of his choice. He served as Assistant Secretary and Statistical Secretary of the General. Association until he was elected Secre- tary in 1877, and has been elected every year since. As leader of the choir and Superintendent of the Sunday School he is popular with the young people and is known as the young people's friend. When he went to the World's Baptist Congress in London, some years ago the young people raised a fund for that purpose and paid every expense of the trip. He is editor of the American Baptist, the oldest de- nominational paper among Baptists, and he is re- garded as being the best informed layman in the country. He takes a lively interest in fraternal and public affairs and has filled many prominent posi- tions, having served two terms as Grand Master of Masons of Kentucky. His home is known as one of the most beautiful homes in the State and he has a most interesting family. To meet an exigency in 1875, he was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees of State University and he has remained in that position constantly since then and has made an enviable record for accuracy and efficiency in that important office. It is said that he knows more people personally than any man in the State and has a very large circle of personal friends. Shaw Uni- versity, Releigh, N. C., some years ago conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts.

REV. JOHN H. FRANK, D.D., M.D.
As pastor of one of the most prominent and the oldest Baptist church of the metropolis of the State he would naturally be considered a leading pastor, but aside from this he is a preacher of great power and ability. He is also a Doctor of Medicine and is recognized as a leader in that profession. During his pastorate of twenty-eight years of the Fifth St. Baptist Church, he has made an excellent record, has a. warm place in the hearts of the people of that congregation as well as the people of the commun- ity. He has been Moderator of the General Associa- tion of Colored Baptists of Kentucky, and during that time made a new standard for the denomination financially and broke all previous records in that di- rection. The denominational work was freed from debt and it took on new interest. As chairman of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention he showed unusual ability and attain- ed his greatest prominence. Above all things he believes in the work of Missions and never lets an opportunity slip to emphasize the importance of saving souls as the work of the church. He has one of the best homes in the city and has an interesting family.

REV. JOHN H. FRANK, D.D, M.D.
The State of the Country and the Needs of the Race.
"And hath made of one blood all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth."-Acts 17:26.
Evidently the word "Country" signifies the American people, their association, organization, civil government, their ordinary and common place of abode, their principles and policies. "Needs of the Race" are words designed to rivet the attention upon the condition of the Colored people of America, touching their lack of what is necessary or desir- able; their poverty, their ignorance, their industrial, political, civil, moral and religious status. Your committee judges that the aim and purpose of this study is the production and maintenance of phases of inter-racial life characterized by fraternity, liber- ty, equality ; a national, American life in which the advanced, good elements of all races, especially two, co-operate, without any consciousness of color, for the good of each and the advancement of all. We rejoice to believe that Christians everywhere are moving closer to the world's need; that Christian- ity is very materially changing human hearts, im- proving living conditions, cementing a common friendship; but we are not unmindful of the exist- ence among us of an element non-progressive, often sensual and criminal, the shame of our homes, churches and schools-an incubus weighing us down, and ofttime paralyzing our righteous endea- vors. Nor are we unaware of the presence of an element of white people bent upon the unholy mis- sion of enforced segregation of a race on account of color, deprivation of civil right, political liberties

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE
and industrial advantages. We regret that the Pres- ident of the United States and high officials have, for the first time in American history, committed the national government to the policy of race segre- gation. And yet, we rejoice to see evidences that the best white people of the land, both South and North, are, in Christian faith, patience and sacrifices evinc- ing the spirit of hearty co-operation with us and with ours. Then, too, we rejoice to know that the Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional the unjust "Grandfather Clause" legislation. The night is dark, but here and there stars are shining, and the sun approaches the horizon. We shall never cease to pray and work, never agree to yield our rights, to accept an inferior position or to confess that as regards America we are strangers and foreigners. Believing in God, holding the Baptist faith, knowing no man by the color of his skin merely, believing in the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man in Christ Jesus our Lord, we are determined to exemplify for America and the world fundamental national principles and individual religious privi- leges. Our appeal is to Kentucky Baptists, in this their Jubilee Year, to lengthen, widen, clarify their vision ; to become more than ever conscious of their world mission; to cultivate ever keenest sense of their responsibility for mankind, and to excel Bap- tists of any and all parts of the world. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." -John 8:32.

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE
Up to the time of publishing this book, the Min- utes of 1914 were not yet printed. The efforts of the Baptists to raise $10,000 this year seem assured since they have raised to the first of July, by the assistance of white friends North and South, more than $7,000.
BAPTIST MESSENGERS TO JAMAICA.
The National Baptist Convention commissioned Dr. L. G. Jordan and Dr. C. H. Parrish to convey message of Christian greeting to the Baptists of Jamaica. The said brethren sailed from New York, March 1I, 1915, and arrived in Kingston, Jamaica, March 17, and were met by Revs. Dr. Stewart and Waugh. The Commissioners were received by the mayor of Kingston in the largest hall. His honor, Mayor Bryant, presided, and extended a felicitious, civic welcome, and on Monday night, the 22, were re- ceived by the East Street Baptist Church, and Rev. Pratt, their pastor, presided and extended welcome on the behalf of the Baptists and other denomina- . tions of Jamaica. The commissioners sought to have the Baptists of Jamaica join hands with their brethren in America for the redemption of Africa, whose ancestors were brought as slaves to those shores. They established the fact that George Lisle was the first Baptist Missionary to heathen lands, having sailed for Jamaica ten years before William Cary sailed for India.
