An error was made in the ad of Farmers
Bank, Belhaven, N. C., in the April issue. It
should have read “The Farmers Bank of Bel
haven has purchased the bank building of the
bank of Belhaven” rather than the Bank of
Belhaven. This building is a larger, better
equipped and nicer building.
We congratulate Mr. Justice on his new h
quarters. (Editor.)
A STORY WITH A LESSON
Not long ago a church member was out hunt
ng. During the day a rainstorm came on. He
crawled into a hollow log. When the rain began
to fall the log began to swell, until he could get
neither way. He thought his end had come. He
thought of many things, and when he recalled
that he had not paid his church dues he felt so
small that he crawled out of the log without am
difficulty.

We have had a large crowd; a big dinner, and
real fellowship and worship were enjoyed.
