Martin, the newly appointed Sabbath School Missionary of Catawba } Presbytery, visited Emanuel Sunday school and church, and his visit was very helpful and inspiring. Prof. Mar tin spoke to both of the above named activities, giving much sound advice to the young people especially. Emanuel Sunday, school ia ably superintended by Mrs. A. T.

She willingly serves, though she is not a mem ber of the church, and the con gregation gladiy accepts her services. It is through the kind ness of Elder W. M.

G Avant, our pastor, though present, was not feeling well, and Rev. J. L. White pre sided in his place. The reminiscences of the church organization by Dr. 'Twine were very interesting. He told very, yLyidly of the early struggles and hardships of the faithful few who pioneered the work that has grown into a sub stantial church, that is destined to be self-supporting before many years hence. His reference to the four members left here of the group that started the work with him, and especially of their’sacrifices that have made this church possible, was espe cially encouraging. Many favor able comments have been made of this occasion of "giving flow ers to the living.” The work of our church is progressing under the leadership of our energetic pastor and his co-workers.
