Rev. S.L. Morgan Accepts Call at Smithfield Baptist Church, Sept. 18, 1923

Baptist Church Calls New Pastor. . . Rev. S.L. Morgan of Ramseur Accepts Call Tendered Him by Church Sunday

After being without a pastor for several months, the Baptist church here has called Rev. S.L. Morgan of Ramseur. Rev. Mr. Morgan was here last week to consult with members of the church concerning the work here, and at a church conference held Sunday morning, a call was extended. After communicating with Mr. Morgan, it has been announced that he accepted the call and will move his family here at an early date.

Rev. Mr. Morgan has served the churches at Red Springs, Henderson and Ramseur and has done successful work. He is not unknown here having held two revival meetings at the Baptist church in this city, the first one being conducted by him 15 years ago while he was pastor at Red Springs. Later during the pastorate of Rev. J.E. Lanier, he again held a revival with this church. He comes with an enviable reputation, both as pastor and preacher, and the church here is to be congratulated upon securing him.
