Methodists Plan Unique Revival In About 300 Charges North and South Caro-i lina Pastors Will Ex- ' change Pulpits The Methodist Churches of Eastern North Carolina are preparing for a great United Eangelistic Mission, April 17-26. The plan involves bring ing 300 guest pastors from South Carolina to assist in the visitation and preaching evangelism missions in nearly 300 Methodist charges. It in volves the participation of more than 600 Methodist Churches in the Con-, ference. This is a part of a great revival, the “Methodist United Evangelistic Mission”, which will be conducted throughout the Southeastern jurisdic tion of the Methodist Church, .cover ing nine States, (Kentucky, Tennes see, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi) and Cuba. Preaching services and visitation evangelism will be held in one-half of these church es, April 19-26, and in the other half, May 3-10. The pastors in these two divisions will exchange their services, helping each other, in this arrange ment, the pastors from the South Car olina Conference will assist their North Carolina brother-pastoora, and in May the North Carolina pastors will go to the South Carolina Churches. Participating in the entire Mission wiil . be eight Episcopal areas, 16 An nual Conferences, 141 districts, 12,- 173 churches and 6,218 pastors. A highlight will be the 7 Youth [Rallies to be carried out on Satur day evening, April 18, in strategic centers over the eastern part of the state. An attendance of 10,000 youth and sponsors is expected. A second feature of the United Evangelistic Mission will be the 9 schools of evangelism for pastors, un der the leadership of outstanding min isters from many parts of the nation. In the schools the pastors will be trained in the new techniques of visi tation evangelism, pulpit epangelism and membership assimilation. Bishop Paul N. Garber, presiding Bishop of the Richmond area, will ' lead the United Epangelistic Mission in the Virginia and North Carolina Conferences. In Memory of the Ole Albemarle League PAUL WHITE Hertford, North Carolina My mind goes back to 1921 When the Albemarle League was born. Behind the old depot across the rail road track, On Mr. Seymour Chappell’s farm. Edenton, Hertford and Elizabeth City, Were the three members that I recall. When they played each other they asked for no pity But playdd rough and ready baseball. After 1922, it went to sleep But in 1931, it was revived. Then Williamarton, and Windsor join ed that year And that made the membership five. They played for two years and made baseball fame, But after that they took a rest. Until 1946, they Started again Determined to do their best. With Elizabeth City, Hertford and Edenton, Three teams that were hard to beat. With Camden, Windsor and Colerain, And that made the league complete. % The next coming year when they started the race, There were changes made that were right. When Plymouth took Camden’s place, And all the games were played at night. I M»»*!•*MUM*!* | Writes New Book | LeGette Blythe, whose latest book, “Miracle in the Hills,” a lively first-person biography of Dr. Mary T. Martin Sloop df the famous Ctossnore Mountain school and 1951 American Mother [ of the Year, is being released March 9 on Mrs. Sloop’s eight ieth birthday. It has been select ed as the June or July choice of the Family Book Shelf, one of the‘nation’s major book club*. (Portrait by Charles Clement Tucker.) i Then they had a league that could really play ball, No better one could be found. , It was all for one; and one for all, ( But they mowed each other down. They all tried hard to outdo each | other, For they all were relatives of the Albemarle League. Whenever they would win from each other, 1 They would shout and dance a jig. But when the game got rough and the umpires tough, ! Sometimes their tempers would flare. . But they would soon cool off when : they had had enough, i For it was just like a family affair -1 They would argue and then get mad as a wet hen, 1 The umpires they would always blame. But madness they couldn’t keep and it didn’t bother their sleep, For it was just another baseball game. They were good friends then just like they are now, Sometimes they didn’t feel the same. But we saw -no difference in any of them, When it came to playing a baseball game. So that’s what we wanted and that’s the way it should be, To enjoy good baseball pleasure. , Because there’s nothing so disgusting for the fans to see, Than a ball game played so lazy. So it went like that for four good seasons, Good rough and tough baseball. Until the end came for no good reason, , And for the Albemarle League, that was all. I wish they would get together and have another meeting, And bring back those happy joys. ’ There’s nothing I know of that would be so pleasing, As a league of high school boys. It would be real good training for these young men, To help them on their way. 'So when they grow up some might Play, * 1 GfW 1 SEVEN STAR 1 90 Proof! | ; M l« i 4 ■Qnsi^H $3*65 G*w : 'tr SEVEN SMI • 4/S Quit ; :, -, ******* i 901,8 0011 i '■ * ' v^» JM ■ BLENDED WHISKEY, MV4* HEUTKAL SPIRITS DISTILLED PROM BRAIN BOODERMAM A WORTS LIMITED.

If they didn’t abide by these rules; turn them out, That would be the way to do it. I know one thing that I will say, And that I’ll never forget We’ve got to help in every way, Besides just buying a ticket. For when the summer comes and no baseball, It seems there’s a very little left. But I hate to see the burden fall, On one or two doing it all by them selves. Now let’s get together and organize this league, And work without a thought of com plain. Because the days are getting longer and spring is around the comer. And by summer we’ll play baseball again.
