METHODIST CHURCH NOTES,
Sunday services, July 27th, 1930.
Sunday school 9:45 a. m., Epworth
League 6:30 p. m., Church service
7:30 p. m.
Prayer meeting was well attended
in spite of bad weather last week.
Members of the Hi-League gave a
short but interesting program. We
are glad to see results of. the Lea-
gue work. Our pastor, Rev. D. H.
Rhinehardt gave us another splen
did talk. He has been giving us some
history. On Wednesday night he gave
us the history of different nationali
ties at the time of the birth of Christ
and showed why Christ was a Jew.
These talks require much prepara
tion and it is for the benefit of we
church members, so let's be present
and take advantage of these talks.
Sunday school was about the aver
age. Attendance of the Men's class
went beyond their attendance for
several Sundays. The Ladies' class
is holding its regular attendance. We
want the mothers to come and bring
their babies. They will be welcomed.
The eleven o'clock service was
well attended and we were glad to
have some members from our sister
church worship with us. Mr. Rhine
harde brought us a very fine mes
sage on the Book of Esther. For some
reason the Book of Esther is rarely
read. It is not used as reference as
much as other books, but to me it
is full of advice that all should know
and heed. We see the Divine guidance
in human undertakings in this book.
This book is very suited to the pres
ent day generation when we see the
wicked prosper and the (rigjhteous
having such hard luck. To read this
book we see plainly that the pros
perity of the wicked ends in adversi
ty and the adversity of the righteous
ends in prosperity. The story of
Haman being promoted to high plac
es and prospered, though wicked then
how the tables turn and Mordecai
is elevated and Haman is made to
do honor to the yery one he had
sought to kill. The beautiful char-
acter of Esther and her early train
ing- under M'ordecai. When we read
in the 4th chapter, part of the 14th
verse, "And who knoweth whether
thou are come to the kingdom for
such a time as this?" we feel that
it's hidden teaching of an overshad
owing Providence in connection with
God's people and . the certainty of
retribution overtaking their enemies.
It is applicable to today. It was
truly Divine guidance that caused
events to take place as they did, for
through Esther the Jewish people
undei) the leadenfiip Jof Mordecai
were saved.
The Epwo.rth League was well at
tended. These young folks have good
programs. They would be so glad
to have their parents visit these ser
vices. It would lend encouragement.
Parents, are we interested in what
our children attend? Where are our
children on Sunday afternoon at
6:30?
► The junior missionary society met ;
July 14th with Mrs. L. G. Garvin!
with- the leader, Mrs. Jay Laugh-!
ridge and Mrs. Shuford present.!
There was a fine attendance and four j
new members. Those little folks are I
i
coming on fine and feel sure there j
are a good many others who should
attend. They meet every two weeks.
The Sunday school classes taught
by Mrs. Garvin and Miss Lena Mae
Fishermen joyed a picnic and wading
party near the Methodist church last
Friday. »
The Ladies Missionary society met
Monday, July 21st, at the church.
There was a good attendance and a
very helpful program was rendered
by Mrs. Clyde Edwards and Mrs.
Jay Laughridge, and Mrs. George
Shuford. Mrs. D. H. Rhinehardt con
ducted the devotional in a very im
pressive way, the ladies had a delight
ful surprise following the meeting
when Mr. James served us ice cream
and cake. As it, was very hot this
was certainly a treat and all ap
preciated Mr. Jame's thoughtfulness.

In the absence of the pastor, who
with his family are taking a vaca
tion at their mountain retreat, near
the crest of the Blue Ridge on Route
No: 20, the prayer service was led
Ly Mr. M. C. Blanton.
I There was no preaching service
; Sunday morning or evening. After
'the Sunday school a number attend
ed services at the Methodist church,
[ others went visiting to various places.
The B. Y. P. U's. were on the job
Sunday evening and after the Unions
had had their programs and assem
bled for the closing period a fine play
i was presented by the young people,
j Members of the Unions will pre
sent this play at .Alexander church
next Sunday morning at the B. Y. P.
U. meeting held there next Sunday.
The prayer service this week will
be led by Mr. B. E. Gold.
Next Sunday is being observed as
"Christian education day" and the
Men's Bible class and the Berean

younger men will present a program

nouncement for the evening hour will
be made Sunday morning.
Seven hundred and fifty were vac
cinated against typhoid and diphth
eria here last Wednesday. Dr. All
hands stated that he believed there
were more than that as he thought
some got away without giving their
names. Anyway there was a large
crowd out there which looked as if
the number were even greater.
Farmers on rural lines were also
called, and they turned out with an
tiquated weapons of every descrip
tion and caliber. It was not long
before calls began coming back to
the telephone company with infor
mation as to the direction the ban
dits were taking in the machine in
which they were trying to make
their escape. A round-up, which
blocked one of the possible avenues
of escape of the bandits, led to their;
capture, and it is estimated that
between 600 and 700 telephone calls
were made in spreading word of the
robbery. It was just exactly one
hour after the crime was com
mitted when the bandits were in
tercepted.

Bank robbers "who stole $6,000
from the Junction City
Company in Ohio recently were cap
tured through the efficient use of
the telephone.
In their haste to get away after
securing the cash, one of the ban
dits accidentally pulled the trigger
of a gun. This sounded an alarm
to J. W. Murphy, manager of the
local telephone company, who im
mediately got in touch with the
cashier and spread the alarm
throughout the countryside. As a
result of a series of Long Distance
calls, a force of sheriffs with their
deputies were on the road to inter
cept the bandits within a few min
utes.
AMOS AND ANDY ARE GIVEN
DEAD NUMBERS TO USE
When you are listening to a
broadcasting sketch, and one of the
actors or actresses pretends to call
a number by telephone, the num
ber so called is what is known as a
"dead" number, that is, it Is a num
ber which, is not in actual use and
which has been furnished by the
local telephone company for the
purpose.
There is such an arrangement as
this in New York City between the
New York Telephone Company and
the National and the Columbia
Broadcasting Networks, but once
in a great while an error will be
made. Not so long ago, Amos *n'
Andy made use of a "live" number,
with the result that a subscriber
up in Harlem was deluged with
calls for Madam Queen and the
'iingfish..

LIGHTHOUSE TO LAND
Maine Station Is Great Saver
of Life and Property
Lying some sixteen miles to the
southwest of Rockland, Me., is
Whitehead Island, where is located
a coast guard station and a light
house, which, from a life saving
point of view, Is one of the most
important stations on the entire
rock-ribbed coast of Maine, guard
ing as it does the entrance to
Penobscot Bay. On the sea side
Whitehead Island is faced with
high, precipitous walls of rock
which have been worn smooth by
the ages of pounding by the ocean,
while on the inshore side are sunken
ledges with solid granite heads jut
ting out into the bay. There are
also lighthouses on Two Bush Is
land and Matinicus Rock, the latter
twenty-five miles from the main
land. ?
The telephone that connects these
lighthouses and two of the impor
tant settled islands with the coast
guard stations at Whitehead and
with the Rockland central office is
of the utmost importance. Former
ly, a submarine cable connected
Whitehead with the mainland, but,
owing to the pounding of the sea in
the winter time and the ice floes,
so many breaks occurred in the
cable that it finally became neces
sary to erect a span between
Sprucehead, Me., and Whitehead Is
land. so that now a suspension
cable carries the telephone wires.
This span is 1,739 feet long, and is
one of the longest telephone wire
spans in the country. Since its in
stallation, the former interruptions
to service no longer occur, and
much life and property has been
saved because marine disasters
could be reported without delay.
