Anderson Will Speak At First Baptist Church Sunday Night HAS HAD TWENTY-TWO YEARS IN RUSSIA Rev. Anderson, has had many thrilling experiences during his 22 years in the land of Soviets under three regimes. He saw czarism in full sway, then the short-lived Ker enshy provincial government and finally the "red" Bolshevik govern ment. Rpv. Anderson's chief aim has been to bring the unfortunate masses to Christ. He has suffered greatly, persecutions, and has seen his own family tortured and killed, but he has also had many Joys In seeing the masses of common peo ple bravely stand as witnesses for their Lord Saviour. The missionary work in Russia has always been very difficult. Many times missionaries have starved and many have been slain, but that has not kept the faithful ones from carrying on. The missionary has no sympathy for communism because he has seen the Russian masses suffer under it terribly and he has often witnessed the wholesale extermination of "be lievers." Before the world war Rus sia wakcalld the "Holy Russia," and now it is th? only nation ifi_ the World where all religions have been "abolished." Atheism is the. new "religion" of Russia. The atheistic rulers have abolished numerous things ill Russia, marriage, home, etc. For years the new Russian set-up has been a menace to civili zation. Their own people starving to death, they are - spending enor mous sums of money in other lands trying to win the whole world over to Atheism. Rev. Anderson will Sunday night tell the true story of Christianity, in Russia, its Joys and its sorrows, and the conditions in present day Russia as he saw them. All christians and missionary spir ited citizens are invited to come to the First Baptist church Susdhy night to hear this most interesting BEH CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION A GREAT SUCCESS Many Notable Speakers Were Present For The Occasion EPHESUS BAPT. CHURCH 1 IS HUNDRED YEARS OLD! During the past twelve months the Moderator, Rev. W. P. West, has given much time In trying to arrange a celebration which would be In keeping' with the centennial celebration, of the Beulah Baptist Association, and also the centen nial celebration of Ephesus Baptist church. And those present give him credit for having done a job most wisely and well. On Friday, the first day of the session on the program were well known and outstanding men of the Baptist church of the State and South. Dr. E. M. Poteat, of Green ville, S. C., Dr. John E. Briggs of Washington, D. C., Dr. W. L. Poteat of Wake Forest and Dr. E. MicNell Poteat, of Raleigh. Such an array of speakers is seldom found on the Same program, and rarely ever on a program In a small country church. On the second day the outstanding men were Dr. G. W. Paschall of .Wake Forest College; Dr. J. Clyde Turner of- the Thomasvtlle Baptist Orphanage. Friday and Saturday were red letter days for the Baptists of this County, and those who were fortunate to hear the addresses and the sermons will long remember them. On Sunday there were all day services, with Rev. V. E. Duncan, formerly a member of Ephesus church, preaching. Dinner was serv ed on the grounds, and in the after- : noon the exercises consisted of short talks, with the roll., call, of the church one hundred years _agO; of course, none of that day were pres ent t0*answer? but several children and grandchildren responded. Ephesus church is located Jn. one of tjuTpTfttiest groves to be "found, and the church has recently been remodeled, and Is one of the most attractive churches In the county, with a membership who know just how-to entertain, The following offloers were elect ed for the coming year: Moderator, Mr. J. W Noell; clerk, Mrs. J.. Howard Y?mg; treasurer, Mr. R. L. Wilburn. The next session will be held with the Antioch Baptist church, about fout miles south of Roxboro. HIGH SCHOOL PLAY AT HELENA FRIDAY, NOVu 2 On Friday evening, Nov. 2, at 7:30- o'clock there will be a play, "The Red-Headed Stepchild," pre sented by a group of high school pu pils in the auditorium of Helena High school. The cast is working hard, and the play is expected to be fine of the best that has ever been given at Helena. The plot cen ters around the young girl, Eliza beth Russell, better known as Wild Bess, who leaves her ranch irr Mon- | tana to go to Chicago to live with her father and his second wife. Bess soon finds that she is filling the place of the proverbial "red headed stepchild." How she works her way out of this trying situation makes a very Interesting story. There is plenty of humor in the play, so be sure to come prepared to laugh a great deal. There are touches of pathos also, and at times the scenes are very dramatic. In: addition to the play there' will be choruses by high school pupils. If you enjoy good music and a good play, be sure to come to Helen^ on this date. The proceeds will go to complete the gymnasium in order that the pupils may begin their in door basketball practice in the near future. Admission, 15 cents for all school children, and 25c for adults. NOTICE! Won't you help us out in an un-' pleasant duty of cutting your water oil?
