The church roll call rally and
supper last night at the home of
Mrs. Eunice Bowen was unique
and a delight to all in attend
ance.
The supper was superb and en
joyed by all of the 75 that were
present, some being kept away
by sickness.
The pastor, Rev. Strawn, took
part with the children in their
plays, and engaged in the social
functions of the evening with the
older. The roll call was pre
ceded and followed by recitations
by Miss Janie Stephens. The
church is harmonious and in con
dition to vigorously battle as one
for salvation of souls and in the
strengthening of Christian char
acter. It was the unanimous
verdict heard on every hand that
the rally from now on should be
an annual affair to be held each
year.
The young people, with which
the church is blessed, remained
some time after the older mem
bers left for their homes and en
gaged in social glee and pleasant
plays.
The occasion will be one long
remembered as the beginning of
that deeper fraternity which
should be stamped upon the j
church now as upon the Apostol
ic church of the first centurv.
