CUFFSIDE NEWS
In the Cleveland Star, of Shelby, i
dated October 31st there appeared]
a picture of Mr. N. J. Wright, cf|
Fallston and an article accompany-1
ing it stating that; he had been
superintendent of the Sunday schol
at Friendship Methodist-Protestant
church for more than sixty-six years.
Mr. Wright is an uncle of Mr. I
George Blanton, of Cliffside. The
record of Mr. Wright is unusual and
we are quoting here the story as
given by The Cleveland Star of
Shelby, N. C.
"N. J. Wright of Fallston, who
doubtless is dean of Sunday school
superintendents not only of this state
b?!t. of the United States. He began
to superintend the Sunday school at
Friendship Methodist - Protestant
church, FaJUston, N. C., May 6 186#?,
and in his church the office of super
intendant being elective, has been
unamiously elected by the congrega
tion every successive year to the
present, making sixty-six and one
half years. The literature used then
was Blueback Speller and Bible.
Very few could read the Bible, and
those who could not read were cared
for by the speller. The church then
had fifty odd members and today has
more than four hundred. The Sun
day school has progressed in propor
tion.
"One feature that has contributed
very greatly to the success of the
Sunday school and his long standing
in office is his systematic progressive
ideas he has kept continually before
his people. Another feature is persis
tant effort to diversify the Sunday
school program so it has not become
monotonous. There is always some
thing interesting in the opening and
closing exercises. He has taken eveiv
advantage of progressive Sunday
school literature. He attributes his
regularity of attendance and being
always on and opening and
closing on time, the main feature of
success, together with persistent ef
fort to make the hour worshipful.
"In all these years he has not miss
ed a single Sunday for recreation.
He believes the Sunday school, when
properly run, is the greatest asset
to the church. He has not missed a
Sunday except for his own sickness
and death in the family, which prob
aby has not been more than a dozen
Sundays."
METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
As the pastor was away last week
attending conference there was no
prayer service last week or pleach
ing service on Sunday. The Sunday
school was well attended.
We are so glad to learn that our
pastor, Rev. D. H. Rhinehardt is to

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.
The revival meetings at the Bap
tist church came to a close last
Wednesday night. The pastor, Rev.
J. A. Hunnicutt brought to us some
great messages and we feel that a
great deal of good has been ac
complished.
Attendance at Sunday school was
off quite a bit last Sunday. At least
a large number were not in time
to be counted. There were 401 pres
ent when the classes assembled. W c
were glad to have with us 11 visitors
in the Sunday school and a number
of others who came for the preach
ing service.
Among the visitors at the morn
ing preaching service were the pas
tor's father, Mr. Earl Hunnicutt and
sister, Mrs. Ola Gregory of Green
ville, S. C-, also a brother with his
son and daughter, Mr. Luther Hunni
cutt, Mr. Louis and Miss Ruth Hun
nicutt, of Anderson, S. C.
Church Treasurer made his month
ly report to the church Sunday
morning and it was very gratifying
to know that despite the depression
we had reduced our debt $300.00
in addition to a number of other bills
paid including $157.00 for Sunday
school literature, etc.
The text for the morning was
Jeremiah 10:23 and the subject,"
"Man and his perplexities."
At the close of the service, Mrs.
Williams and Mr. Pink Honeycutt
were received into the church by
letter.
The, B. Y.. P. Us. had a record at
tendance Sunday evening and there
were seven more new members add
ed.
The subject for the evening ser
vice was "Refuges that fail. 0 It was
another fine message and at the close
Mr. J. B. Whitaker Was received by
letter and James Allen Hunnicutt,
Jr., son of the pastor was received |
for baptism. The ordinance of bap
tism was administered by the pas
tor immediately to James Allen
Hunnicutt, Jr., and Miss Margaret
Davidson.
A rally of the B. Y. P. Us. in this
district will be held here at 2:30
next Sunday afternoon. A fine pro
gram will be rendered. We expect
to have with us the officers of the
association and district and hope that
all the unions will be represented
with large delegations. We are glad
to have the meeting here with us and
extend a very cordial welcome.
Pastor J. A. Hunnicutt and Mrs.
Hunnicutt will leave tomorrow,
(Tuesday) for Raleigh where they
will attend the Baptist State con
vention. Mrs. Hunnicutt's mother,
Mrs. Abbie Wingo, of Fair Forest,
S. C., who arrived last Saturday will
stay with the boys while Mr. and
Mrs Hunnicutt are away.
We want to mention here that the
quarterly meeting of the W. M. U.
will be held with the Haynes Mem
orial church at Avondale, conven
ing at 2:30 p. m., on November 22.
The church voted Sunday morn
ing to send to the Alexander school
at Union Mills a number of song
books. The pastor will take them at
an early date.
Diplomas for the Sunday school
manual were awarded Sunday to
Miss Pamelia Pruett, Mr. Fate Mc-
Murry, Mr. M C. Blanton and Miss
" Lallage Grigg.
LIONS CLUB ENTERTAINS
THE KIWANTS CLUB
On Thursday night of last week
the Textile Lions Club composed of
members of Caroleen, Avondale,
Henrietta and Cliffside entertained
_ the Kiwanis club of Forest City. At
* seven o'clock they took their places
around the banquet table at the
Memorial building where they par
took of a bountiful meal prepared
by the Home Economics class under
the direction of Mrs. H. L. Robert
son. This was ladies night and the
club members were accompanied b> ;
their wives and the single ones
brought a lady friend.
The address of welcome was made
by Mr. B. P. Caldwell to which Dr
Duncan, Forest City Kiwanian res
ponded. The program was varied anc
interesting. During the meal music
was rendered by a colored man ai
the piano who played a varied pro-

gram of late popular musie as well
as some old and familiar airs. There
were also good jokes and sparkling
repartee. Little Miss Sarah Allhands,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. All
hands delighted every one with her
readings and then the Lions pre
sented a silent movie that was much
enjoyed. The Kiwanians then took
charge of the program. Prof. Charles
Erwin made a fine talk and Misses
Ruth Greene and Virginia Magness
delighted all with their duets ac
companied at the piano by Miss
: Catherine Goggins. One of the last!
i features of the splendid program
; was a spelling bee between the
Lions and the Kiwanians. The old
Blue Back speller was used and Dr.
Allhands "gave out" the words. Mr.
Z. O. Jenkins "killed" the largest
i num ber on one of the words that is
; seldom heard. Seventy plates were
! served and every one seemed to
j thoroughly enjoy the fellowship * of
i this joint meeting of these two
1 splendid clubs.
