\ VOL. XXXVII. NO. 54 RELIGIOUS CENSUS , FOR BOONE SEPT. 12 [ Local Churches Unite in Effort to * Secure Larger Attendance at Church and Sunday School A project was set on foot Sunday aftejr.oon at a meeting of Sunday school superintendents; of the community. at a meeting held in the Baptist church, for a religious census* and a honie-to-home visitation oh i Monday afternoon. September 12. The first object' of this census and visitation is to find out how many , people in Boon" do not attend an\ church, how many have leanings to- j ward certain churches in town, how , many are members of churches else- j where, and how many are members of local churches, and how many attend I Sunday school, and where t'hey attend ' i and how many do not attend Sunday ] school. This will give the various churches an opportunity to determine' I who sue available for their re.-pectivo ' I congregatibps and Sunday school The second object of this home-'mheme canvass is to give a polite but urgent invitation to each person to! attend some church and some Sunday school ir. Boo he white they remain a citizen of this community. It > believed by many of the leading citizen- that there are in the neighborhood of 2,000 people here. Wh-.-i this census is taken, it. will be known how many people there are in the town. It' is a deplorable fact that pot < more than one-half the neon'o in k Boone attend any church service ^ what - m vor. This is a fact which ali i , the clvnche:. are hoping -halt soon j cease to he a fact, it is a fact that | no Christian in any church cati he; proud of. But it is also a fact that j the churches expect to keep beforej^ the people until the people change the fact.

Governor Morrison was at himself'* and made what is said have been one of the best spcechs the ex-governor ever delivered. Mr. Morrison has announced that o will go after Senator Overman's !Mt in the senate six years hence, but e did not refer to that fact here atui'day. In fact, he praised the ?cord of the junior senator from LOWING ROCK BAPTIST CHURCH LIQUIDATES DEBT Last Sunday morning at t'he reguir service at the Blowing Rock Bapst church, notes against the new lurch building amounting to $2,27.95 were burned.

Vance preached. f>ast week ie remainder was raised. Mr. J. F. rown proposed to the church that he j ouhl give $1,000 of the amount if; ie church would raise the remain-; sr. The challenge was accepted and j vw the church is free of debt, with i ie exception of about two years of! lilding and loan stock with payments! f $20 per month.
