KEY. GRAHAM PRAISES WORK
OF EVANGELISTIC CLUB
Dear Mr. Editor:
I wish to say a good word through
Ijv-i wiumiia tor UK* splendid work
of the Evangelistic Club from VVin;
ston-Salem that conducted services
j with nine congregations during the
past week-end. The churches and in;
stitutions visited were as follows:
1 Henson's Chapel, Mabel, Thomas
| Chapel and Valle Crucis Methodist
1 churches: Zionville and Shuils Mills
i Baptist churches: Blowing Hock
Presbyterian Church, the Watauga
| County Home and the Watauga State
Prison camp. At each of these services
there was given a strong Gospel
message by Mr. Walter Nading, cap|
tain of the club, and upon his invitation
there were some in every service
that accepted Christ, and at. some
points there was a large group who
made a profession of faith. Printed
copies of the four gospels were distributed
to every member of these
congregations as a special feature of
their evangelistic work. These workers
deserve the sincere gratitude of
all the religious and moral forces of
our county.
