Recently an Intermediate Union was organized and will start off on a Standard basis. Watch the Intermediates. They are a live bunch. The W. M. U. has kept pace with the general progress of the church being one of the best unions to be found in any church. They are sup porting every phase of the Lord’s work represented in their auxiliary. The Ladies’ Aid has been a live wire in all the building program of the church. They paid $200 on the lot for the new pastor’s home. They equipped the home with a range and a hot water system and many other things. They finished and equipped the kitchen of the new church and finished the carpet for the Church. Through these five years, they have lived up to their name. They have ever been ready to AID in every good work. The church pledged 52 per cent more than its quota in the 75-Million campaign and has more than paid its pledge to date and will pay its pledge in full by the 30th of November. Our church is always ready to serve the students of Chowan College and during these five years every girl in the College has come to the close of the session a professing Christian. Those who were not members of some church when they entered in the fall were won to Christ during the school years. The Church and the college work hand in hand to this end and also to deepen the spiritual lives of the professing Christian students. All these things have been accom plished by the loyalty and cooperation of the members of the church who were willing to be led by their leader into these glorious achievements. There are no better members to be found anywhere than the best in the Murfreesboro Baptist church.

Our dealers report that in owner tests with the Twentieth Century and Broadway Limiteds after the gates were down, our car lost only once, and that time the driver misjudged the distance by ten and one-half feet. At least, the doctor who attended him thought he said ten and a half. “Other machines may last longer and offer a better price, but if you are looking for the best car for Sun day motoring, the one that will give your family and friends the most thrills, especially at hidden crossings where the sport is keenest, you will take ours. You may use my fountain pen.”—McCready Huston in Life.
