This scenic, ghway will extend from Montreal, tnada, to New Orleans, with bran-, es leading to Florida, and then over e old Spanish Trail to California id New Mexico. Mr. Orr made a hasty trip here! veral weeks ago and a little group' citizens gathered in the dining j >om of the Regal Hotel for a mectg with him.

Rauschenberg. superintendent of Home Missions of the Asheville Presbytery. with headquarters at Biltmore, has consented to conduct a series of revival and evangelistic services at the Presbyterian Church here beginnig May 31st and continuing through June 14th. "We are confidently looking forward to a season of spiritual refresh.ng in our church." said Mr. Clary the other day in commenting on the services. "Our hopes are based on the coming of one whom we believe God has chcccr. tc be the beater of ihe good news in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. F. Rauschenberg for some years a successful bus iness man felt the call of God to set aside his business interests and enter (into full time service as a Minister of the Most High God. For 19 years he has been serving very acceptably and effectively as a pastor, teacher and evangelist. His greatest single at. tainment in the communities where he has served is the fine interdenominational spirit that he has been used of God in creating or fostering. No one can be associated with him and not feel his loyalty to his own church and at the same time his fine feelings towards all Bretheren in the Lord. His proffered courtesies to brother ministers are the very soul of genuineness. He should gain a fine hearing." I Rev. Rauschenberg is said to be a . ?..v. ui uuusuni anility, His wide experience and knowledge of the Bij l>le equips him thoroughly for an evanI gi'list. Hi- is a son of August RausI ehenberg. pioneer Aclanta citizen und a graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary of the class of 1908. Prior to entering the ministry, he was engaged in the newspaper, printing and laundry busimss for eight years. He has been in the ministry for eighteen years, the first fifteen years being spent as pastor of three different charges. For three years, he was Professor of Philosophy at Co* College,' College Park, Ga., while pastor of the church there; for three years he was superintendent of Home Missions and an evangelist and Sunday School worker in Savannah, (la. Presbytery. Since October 1, 1924, he has been an evangelist in the Asheville Presby. tcry. The local Presbyterians are looking forward to a great meeting, and it is expected that other churches of the town and many people from the country round about will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Mr. Rauschenberg and enjoyin gthe spirit ual feast that is promised. Mr. Rauschenberg is scheduled to preach the commencement sermon at the local high school on Sunday May 21Ui. . ?
