M., November 1, we were pleased to have with us Rev. W. M. Fowlkes, •f Leakesville, N. C., who is now pastor of Henry Presbyte rian church, Saxe, Va. He preached from Gen. 5:22-25, using for his sdfoject, “Walk ing With God,” \ If we walk with God we must please Him. We must take Him for our companion. If we have an earthly friend, we love to walk and talk with that friend; how much more should we love ; to walk and talk with Jesus Christ? We must take Him for our real companion. The great truth which Rev. Fowlkes endeav ored to bring us was, We can not walk with God until we know Him; and we cannot know Him as long as we stay away from Him. All men fell with Adam and lost communion with God; and before we can walk with God we must become reconciled with Him. He held up for a true example of pleasing and walking with God, Enoch, who never saw or felt the sting of death, but pleased God so much that one day as they were walking God took him home with Him, both soul and body. He assured the hearers that if they walk with God they will please Him, and will treat their fellowmen right in all things; and that God, when they shall have finished this life, will walk with them through the dark valley of the shadow of death, and that His rod and staff will comfort them. Oh, that the whole world could have heard this wonderful message! Sister Louise Jones was bap tized and given the right hand of fellowship. Communion ser vices were held. Though un worthy we be, looking to Jesus, who is able to make us worthy ,we feasted off of the elements which were used symbolically as the broken body of Jesus Christ and His precious blood which He shed on the cross of Calvary for sinners. E. MORTON. Randolph, Va. HUNTERSVILLE CHURCH NOTES. By Mrs. M. J. Phifer Our congregation was very small on last Sunday morning. This was due to the rainy weather. Rev. R. L. Moore, in spite of the bad weather, filled the pulpit and preached an inr spiring sermon from the text, Luke 23:28. This being rally day for the church a liberal collection was taken by the deacons. At 8:30 P. M., Rev. J. J. Foster, pastor of Caldwell church, and several of his members were present. Rev. Foster preached an excellent sermon from Exodus 3:5. His subject was “Holiness.” The rally closed with a to tal contribution of $79.30. The growth of the Christian Endeavor is remarkable. We are glad to say that our mid-week prayer service is taking on new life. Sunday night, October 11th, the missionary women ren dered a beautiful program. Our program was opened with mu sical selections by the choir. After these most excellent songs there was Scripture reading by Mrs. C. W. John ston. Then prayer by Mrs. Anna Black, the President of the Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Zion church. Mrs. M. J. Phifer, after ex tending words of greeting to the audience, discussed the subject of Prayer and Mis sions. az xms time we were nigmy favqjred with a well prepared paper read by Mrs. N. Bell, subject, “Requirements of Christian Stewardship.” Then Mrs. Hattie Allison read a splendid and rich paper, subject, “Our Duty as Mission aries in the Church and Com munity.” A special feature of the evening was a poem, “Giving,” by Miss Annie Williams. The program was closed with a song, “Like a Tree Planted by the Waters.” At this point we were fa vored by some encouraging re marks by Rev. Moore, Elder Phifer, 0. G. Potts and C. W. Johnston.' The collection was taken by Mrs. Ida Black and Mrs. Os borne. The amount collected was $16.86. Rev. Moore, our pastor, to our surprise, delivered a nice sum of money which had been sent by him from the Mission ary women of Biddleville Pres byterian church, Charlotte. These consecrated women heard the Macedonian cry and immediately they endeavored to help us. We are glad to note that the Huntersville Rosenwald school opened with a delightful num ber of pupils. The school is in charge of Rev. J. H. Gamble. We are pleased to know that Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Moore have moved into their new home located in Huntersville near the church. The day they moved was rainy and cold, but the Missionary wo men were there long before they came and had their rooms heated and a hot, steaming din ner that made them feel at home. NOTES FROM BROAD ST. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, STATESVILLE. By M. E. Woods Our church is doing well. Dr. A. D. Lord is superinten dent of the Sunday school.

Morton, of Salisbury, and his congrega tion worshipped with us at 3 o’clock P. M. Rev. Morton preached an excellent sermon and the choir sang well their pieces. The occasion was a financial rally by the club of Mr. T. M. Allison, who was one of the captains for a church rally held October 18 which was very successful. On Tuesday night, October 6, Rev. H. Wilson, pastor of Westminster congregation, of Concord, began a series of meetings for us which extend ed through Sunday, Nov. 1. His sermons were very inter esting and powerful. The people of Westminster have a good, strong preacher. We hope that Rev. Wilson will come again. At three o’clock on Sunday, October 11, Dr. Z. A. Dock ery and his congregation wor shipped with the Stern’s chap el congregation near States ville. Dr. Dockery preached from the text, Matt. 25:14. The subject was: “Man and His Talent Before God.” The W. H. and F. M. Socie ty met October 8. We had a grand meeting. We had with us Rev. H. Wilson and he gave us a grand talk on Mission Work.

They have put in a new furnace and 100 new desks. Rev. Dockery and his corps of teachers are doing splendid work. They seem to have the school at heart. We were glad to have with us the first Sunday of Novem ber during the Sunday school hour Rev. N. Bell, of Hunt ersville. He gave us a very good talk on Sunday school methods and on the Africo Aroerican Presbyterian. We will be pleased to have him come again.
