INTRODUCTION
Realizing that since we have had
such an outpouring of God's blessings
during the aeries of meetings here re
cently and as we have lost such able
leaders, our Pastor, Supt and Sec. of
aunday school. President and- two
faithful workers of B. Y. P. U., and
?j the. day school teachers, we, the lay
members, got together to see what
could be done to koep the work going
until we could secure the services of
a good Shepherd and the coming of
our teachers In September. The re
sult was that we needed something to
keep our church and community alive
with interest In the different organisa
tions of the church. How to do this
we hardly knew but It was decided
that some form of newspaper would
be the most adoptable means, but to
establish one of our own would re
quire more than we, at present, could
obtain. So by the kindness of the
editor of THE TIMES we are using
this means of reaching each and every
member of our community and trust
that all who read It will bear with us
and give us their prayers and best
wishes, that some good will come to
our community. We invite sugges
tions of every one and the cooperation
of each member of our comnlunlty
that they help us make it a success
each week, for we are fully aware that
unless we have your help our efforts
*wlll be In vain.

It was a pleasure to have heard
above program rendered Jit wl^i
perfect save In only one particular
one member on the program tailed to
render her part. It was read by Miss
Irene Gupton. It makes our hearts
glad to see our young people making
gcod of their opportunities. It will
not be many years before they will be
lenders of some kind in this or other
communities and now Is the deter
mining point when they will decide
tc make good, bad or indifferent lead
ers. Let's encourage them and give
them the best opportunities possible.
We were A-l Union last quarter,
but for various reasons we will hard-,
ly meet the requirements this quarter
but we must not fall short next qunr.
ter. Our aim each Sunday night Is a
perfect program, attendance and con
tribution.
We welcome new members and anv
visitors. Be on time next Sunday
night.
Below Is a letter from one of our
teachers. Let's give her our cooper
ation. Wo welcome such people to
our community.

Dear Miss Gupton:
Your Invitation for me to enter your
B. Y. P. U. this fall was appreciated.
If I can be of any service I will gladly
do so for there is nothing I enjoy any
better than work In the church. That
i< the one thing that I admire about
your village. All seem to be engag
ed In the work of the church;'
Some one sent me one of yotir cbun
ly papers this week which I enjoyed
reading very much, especially the col
ulmn discussing your revival meeting
I am sure that I am going to enjoy
being with you all this winter for I
like the place beforel ever get there.
Mother told me the other day that I
would be sure to like It for I nevei
tuight where I didn't like It.
Your Sunday school Superintend
ent certainly wrote rhe a nice letter
He told me so much about your vil
.luge until I feel like I know* exactly
v-hat I will find when I get there. .
Wishing you much success in ydui
B. Y. P. U. until I become one of you.
Slnceicly,
Aleen Woodburn.
