E. Linney we began under his constant urge to dream of a larger and better church building. However, Jiothing was done it until our present pastor, C. C. | Holland, persuaded ns to launch a Irailding program. The late Rev.) ■W. C. Meadows labored untiringly | in behalf of the cause of the pres ent building, and to his memory has been dedicated the tablet near, the pulpit. After ten years of, tireless effort, on behalf of those interested in this cause, we have a finished church. Thus we say, ‘Paul may plant; Apollos water, but God alone giveth the increase.’ ” , . tit i ’’The pastorate record at Walnut j Grove is unusually interesting, containing as it does the names of many of the past century s famous preachers of the state.
