Cash For Your Used Car Cogdill Motor Co Dodge, Plymouth, Dodge Trucks Herring Preaches Farewell Sermon In County Church | Ge.neral regret has b.en express ed, both in Cullowhee and beyond, at the decision of Rev. J. Alex Her ring, to resign from the pulpit of j Cullowhee Baptist church, j He leaves the Jackson county charge to return to the foreign mis- j ? sion field, having preached his fare well sermon Sunday, October 3. Many members of other denomi I nations have declared their wishes j that he might remain, asserting i that his. influence has far trans cended denominational limits. Convincing proof of tne minis- j ter's record is found in the follow- ' ,ing resolutions presented by his ^ congregation. "Some eighteen months ago, the Reverend J. A. Herring and his family moved into our midst. Bro ther Herring, led by the will of God, as we verily believe, had accepted the call to the pastorate of the Cullowhee Baptist Church. Dur ing the intervening months, he has served the church and community with singleness of devotion and with rare faithfulness. The. church has prospered under his leadership. Among other things, he has shown himself possessed of unusual gifts for promoting and preserving har mony among the membership. His unasuming yet courageous devotion to the teachings of the Bible as he understands them, and to the cause of Christ, has impressed all who have come within /the circle of his ministry. We Have gladly ack nowledged his spiritual leadership because he has led as one dedicated to a cause.. We have witnessed the clearing of the church of debt dur ing his pastorate, and the parso nage property has been greatly improved. In this improvement, the pastor has had a conspicuous part. "Mrs. Herring is worthy of no less praise as a pastor's wife. She not only possesses a charming per sonality, but . is gifted with high intelligence, makes and holds friends with ease and grace, and has a sympathetic and understand ing spirit. Above all, she is loyal to every Christian principle. We have no finer neighbors than the Herrings, which includes, of course, the three lovely Herring children. "Now, the Lord seems to be lead ing Brother Herring back to China, the scene of much of his former ministry. As much as we feel prompted to appeal to him to re main with us, he and his family, we reluctantly yield, to what -seems to be the leading of the Holy Spirit. We, therefore, the members of the Cullowhee Baptist Church, in the light of this conviction, accept the resignation of Brother Herring, to take effect at the time and under the circumstances which he. shall stipu late. We extend to him and his good family a hearty God-Speed and the warmest of good wishes Above all, we pray God to prosper the Pastor's work in China. We assure them all that we shall, indi vidually and as a church, cherish the memory of this all-too-brief association with them. * "Unanimously adopted by the Church, in special business session, 1943 "the day ?* SePtember?

Following is the text of President Roose velt's sp.cial National News paper Week message: "National Newspaper Week again affords an opportunity for us to renew our faith in the prin ciples of Democracy and to re appraise our efforts to sustain that Democracy against our ene mies. In this supreme war effort," the daily and weekly newspap ers of America are charged with great responsibility. It is their task to keep the people fully and wisely informed, to record and publishTtTOSe sober facts that will steady the helm and even iKal nf a nation tossed on the sea of wartime uncertainty. "Today the war news is bet ter than it was a year ago. We are on the offensive; the enemy has been dislodged in many } quarters. Yet the need for a sharp perspective, for a sure balance, for an intelligent exalu ation of our gains and a cautious weighing o^ our, future tasks is imperative. The enemy would confuse and disintegrate us with rumors and minunderstanding^v Our most effective weapon against his malicious falsehoods is the truth, an accurate, full, and fair presentation of the news in a free press. "The rights of a free press are the safeguards of the people; the responsibilities of a free the people." Franklin D. Roosevelt .1?
