Blanton, pastor of Louis burs Baptist Church, delivered a most sincere and forceful sermon on "The Challenge of Our High Calling" in the Louisburg Baptist Chnrcb Sun day morning, June 1st, in a special service commemorating the anniver sary of his coming to Louisburg.'Jtuie In this sermon Rev. Blanton spoke of the past year's work in the church, expressing his attitude of dissatis faction toward it It was not a dis satisfaction that what had been dene was accomplished, but a dissatisfac tion that the goal was in no way reached. Thfe failure to reach the goal, he said, was the prbvelant at titude of negligence, which combined with the lack of a high calling ac complishes little.. For, he who has a high holy task or calling does his 'wofjc well and makes his imprint on thf ' dky and- " generation. In other" words, said the speaker, success is attained through a conscience of'sa credness of a high calling. three challenges that should be given by the high calling, both as a church nnd as individuals. At all times, the high calling should make people and organisations dissatisfied jwith the present conditions, activities and ac complishments. Satisfaction in the present precedes the action of "fall ing short" in the future. Dr. Blanton remarked, "When we are satisfied with things as they are and were, we are very nearly dead. Only the fun eral services remain unconducted." Also he said, "Oood is the greatest enemy of Best". In elaborating on the next challenge, the 'challenge to flee from negligence and careless ness, a verse from the.Old Testament was quoted thusly: "Cursed be he who does the work of Jehovah negli gently". Even though the majority of Church members are covered with this curse, they still expect their church to be a great church and to be respected. They, also, expect new members to come wherein things are neglected apd people ars careless. Th Tast challenge Dr. Blanton listed was that to be a great church. On : speaking of . this he . referred to a. statement that he made in the sermon he preached exactly one year previ ous, his first day of work with that church. In the statement he claimed ro ambition that the Louisburg Bap tist Church would ever be a big chtfrch. At present its membership embraces about three hundred and thirty people; and it la the member* who keep it back, he said. In clos ing, Dr. Blanton's challenge and urge was, "If we are to be Christians, let us be christians and follow where Christ leads." These services were very helpful and splendid, recalling the pleasant year lust past in regards to the lead er and the Church's work, and also, furnishing a great and flaming In spiration for greater work and faith to answer the challenges of "Ouf High Calling" this following year. of ceremony and conducted and pre sented the best program ever put on by the Association.

The flowers and decorations for the graves of the deceased soldiers of the County were exceedingly beah tlful and profuse. There was a large Increase In the nuSnber of flows brought by the different township committees. There has never before been so beautiful and bountiful array of flowers at one of these ser vices. They ware attractively dis played upon an exquisitely arranged background, occupying a position di rectly on the front of the stage. The Franklin County Memorial As sociation has every reason to be proud and thankful. It is a ootfaty vride organisation having a commit tee In each township, eight standing committees, the members of which are rrom all sections of the county, and very capable and earnest officers. On the Sunday nearest Memorial Day the Association holds its Memorial Ser vices In one central meeting. Follow ing these services, each township com mlttee takes the flags and the flow ers and decorate the graves of the deceased soldiers In their township. In this way every grave of the de ceased World War soldiers Is decor rated. At each grave a short ser vice Is held. It Is understood that the Franklin County Memorial Asso ciation with Its special form of Mera oral' services is the only organisation of Ita kind in the nation. This asso ciation began as a reception to the bodies of the soldiers In IMS and nnerged into the present form of oel ebration the succeeding year.
