' CHURCH NOV. 25. Rev. H. E. Speacc of Dvham Will Preach Dedicatory Senaoa— - Life «d Growth of Chmk For 20 Yoars. ] Twenty years ago about one j dozen Methodists met in Alamanoe . county court house, at Graham, and organised the Graham Metho- 1 diet Episcopal church under the ' leadership of Rev. J. A. Dally. Services were conducted in the court house regularly once a month for a while, then the Christian 1 church was very graciously offer- ' ed, aud for a time these few Methodists met there, in the after- ] noon. This spirit of friendship and brotherly kindness was very much appreciated, but the loyal ] little band began to long for a church home. Looking down \ through the years they had a vis ion. They caught a glimpse of 1 the possibilities before them and ! set out to make them real. En ' couraged by the churcheffof other denominations, and strengthened , by others wLo came to join them, they went to work with a will. ' After years of work, self-denial, 1 and sacrifice, they bad finished and almost paid for an excellent > wooden church. Five years ago these people were called from their homes in the night to see their church laid in ashes. But with that same spirit that bad actuated them in the begin ning, and with an unconquered will and a faith unshaken, thoy turned again to the court house to pray and to plan. They had another vision, and went to work to "rebuild the temple". By the help of loyal friends the present building was made possible. In lees than two yeers after \he fire the,) again assembled to worship in a new church. The building was unfinished and they were in debt, but by faith proved by works, and made more precious by sacrifice, the bouse was com pleted and the debt wiped out. Today a splendid brick structure, costing more than nine thousand dollars, stands as a monument to the loyalty of these Methodists and the faithfulness of their friends. On Sunday morning, Nov. 25, 1917, Rov. H. £. Spence of Dur ham, N. C., a preacher of promi nence and a speaker of unusual ability, will preach the dedicatory sermon. A hearty, welcome awaits all who will oome. A special invita tion is extended to all foiiner pas tors and all those who assisted in this work. Judge Pritchsrd Speaks in Graham. A good audience turned out Tuesday night to hear Judge J. C. Pritchard at the court house. Mr. J. Dolph Long, after some prelimi nary remarks about what the Ren Crosa was doing for the comfort ol the aoldier boys, presented Mayor Heenan Hughes, who in'well cho sen terms, introduced the speaker , of the evening. Judge PrltcharJ . did not come as a stranger, being 1 known and knows of by a majority , of the people here, havln? Fi-en in , political life for the past twenty , years. He was at one time a Unit ed States Senator and is now s * Federal Judge. He has studied th* r war situation and he talks about it in a plain matter-of-fact way. He . knows from those with whom he has come in contact of the atroci ' ties and unspeakable crimes com ) mitted by the enemy of free gov ) ernment snd feels these should be . avenged for the future happiness ' and srffety of coming generations. " He urged a whole-hearted support > of the government that victory l might be assured and come sooner. Hia wss a speech that was receiv ed with the closest attention be cause he spoke calmly and doliber ■ ately. So many people have not yet realised this country is engug- • ed in a great war for the preser vation of human liberty, that It 1s well for men like Jifdxe Prltciiaro to come along and tell them about It.
