A concerted effort for the return
of Rev. J. H. Armbrust as pastor of
the North Wilkesboro Methodist
church for another year is now be
ing made. Methodists are being
joined by local civic organizations
and other citizens irkthis moyement
and before the anniifal conference is
held, the bishop will have in his
hands several petitions requesting
that the local minister be sent back
here.
Rev. Mr. Armbrust has served
four years here, having come to
North Wilkesboro in the fall of
1929. If he were not in the midst
of a great church and civic im
provement program which almost
demands his return, there would be
no doubt that he would be assign
ed to another pastorate next year
under the four-year rule.
Church and civic leaders of the
city, however, point out that Rev.
Mr, Armbrust’s services are badly
needed for at least another year.
The Wilkes Citizens’ Association,
of which he is chairman, is doing
a great work in its war against
crime and this program, it is re
marked, has not advanced to a
point where someone else could
pick up the leadership and carry on
as efficiently for someone else to
start now with the city welfare and
do the work that will be needed so
greatly during the winter just a-
head-
While these are not strictly
church activities, church leaders
believe that the bishop will look
upon them as being just as vital as
a church building program which
has caused the four-year rale to be
ignored on many occasions.
’The campaign in behalf of Rev.
Mr. Armbrust’s return will contin
ue unabated until the conference
meets if there is no word that re
moves all hope prior to that time.
