BET. D. T. BCNJf AT *T. HEBBON
BAPTIST CHURCH
On Saturday afternoon Rev. D. T.
Bunn filled his regular appointment
at which time he tendered hla resig
nation as pastor having accepted a
pastorate In the western part of the
State.
Mr. Logan Gupton was elected
church clerk.
On Sunday morning Rey. Mr. Har
per, ot Laurel, filled the pulpit at 11
o'clock. We regret very much to lose
Bro. Bunn, pastor of Mt . Heron'. We
know that the field to which he goes
will be greatly benefitted and blessed
by having him and his saintly wife's
services. May Qod'a richest bless
ings rest npon them and tholr work.
Bro. Bunn's notes on Saturday fol
low:
Element of church strength, Islah
52:1, Put oa thy strength O, Zion.
The church is only a source of
strength uhen It is made so by the
piety and activity of tne members.
There are certain elemento which the
members must possess in order that
the church may be strong.
1. Loyalty to the truth of God's
word. It is not enough to believe the
truth, the truth must be obeyed. There
are those who are orthordox in belief
but hectrodox In practice. The devil
believed and tumbled. It is the life
lived in conformity to the word that
has the power for good. Actions
s:pc-ak louder than words. A holy life
*-?-volce, it speaks when tongue is
?nt. and is either a constant attrac
t. or a continual reproof. The
cl . is being judged by the dally
livt.i : i its members.
2. .V.rfvity in service for G^kt. The
church grows strong throug^BChrls
tian activity. Slackers amqBL the
membership is a source of w^^ness
1 sm-iv rhnri-h moulding the thoughts
of the world as It has never done be
fore in our day, leading In all great
movements as It should.
What a duty. Shall we perform It?
In god's name I ask does any one dare
let It pass. Put on thy strength O'
Zion, If all christian people were
united with Christ and work in obe
dience to his command :t would bring
peace on earth and good will to men.
There is another element of church
strength. Talk your church up, pray
your church and pay it up. Bring ye
all your tithes in to the store house.
MAI) DOG KILLED IN "WOOD

On Monday morning about 10:00
o'clock a large apockly hound appear
ed in town, coming from towards Red
Bud. having been seen tn that direc

walked down Main Street, entered
the hotel continuing Its journey thru
the main hall and leaving by the
back entrance. Mrs. J. S. Shearln
noticed the animal to be a strange
dog and followed It to the back yard
where she saw It have a convulsion.
She notified several persons and a
chase ensued continuing to our local

end by Mr. Saint Leonard, by the use
of a shot gun.
The animal was observed to be suf

LAST SODAY MARKS BEGl>fNI?fG
OF >EW QUARTER FOR B. T. P. U.
The new quarter comes In with a
clean slate for the B. Y. P. U. enthusi
astlcs. Let us all?declare our Inten
tions ttith Misses Gupton..AQd .Frye
to push this particular phase of our
religious work. The? (iave declared
their Intentions to boost the work
and to get behind the personal work
which Is necessary for a live, wide
awake union. The past quarter has
not been all we had hoped for, but
some good work has been done In spite
of the fact that some of our leaders
arc away. The parts union are away.
The part3 which are assighned to
the various members of the groups
will he type written and handed out
the first part of each week. If you
don't know where you belong look
at our new charts. They are all ex
cepting the fifth one we hope to have
In line by the end of the week. This
Is encouraging, but the fact that one
of our boosters, Mr. Bud Oupton, gave
us $1.25 tor the benefit of the union
shows that the material manifesta
tlons tf Interest still continue to come
to us.
To promote the enthusiasm of the
entire union and that of the Individual
some lntereated persons have ottered
to have a picture ot the croup In the
FRANKLIN TIMES, that has the most
perfect programs during the quarter,
and give a subscription to the Blblcal
Recorder to the Individual showing
the greatest Improvement and a sub
scription to the FRANKUN- TIMES
to the one next In line.
