EBENEZER CHURCH NEWS.
On Christmas day, December
26th, 1926, we had service in
our new church for the first
time. Our former pastor,Rev.
P. N. Boykin, preached the first
sermon in the new church from
Samuel 7-12. The words of
his te*t were: “Then: Samuel
took a stone and set it between
Mizpah and Shen and called the
name of it Ebenezer, saying,
Hitherto the Lord hath helped
us."
Who is among us that saw this
church when first in her gl6
ry?

BLANDONIA CHURCH
NEWS i, SANFORD.
Although
By Mrs. Vaiiqr Crumpton.
it' has been a long
time since you have heard any
thing from Sanford, that does
not mean that we are not work
ing. We are alive and
mg along all lines of chi
velopment.
We have organized a religious
Council m our churchf dnd it is
solving one of:the great prob
lems of the sejason. It has for
merly been a difficult [ task to
find something for all 'the mem
bers to do; for that reason since
the membership has gbpe be
yond the 150 mark there was a
tendency for some who, seem
igly, had nothing to do, ttydrop
out and go to some j church
where they were giyeii work
Now, we are glad to say that all
who want to work are given an
opportunity.
We have 179 members on roll
and they have been divided in
to five groups with almost ari
equal number in each group
These groups are complete or
ganizations in themselves with
an elder as their leader. [They
have a secretary, a social ser
vice committee and a financial
committee. The leader keeps in
toucn with his members through
the aid of his secretary and so
cial service committee. He calls
a meeting of his group about
once each month and gives each
member who is willing fo work
something definite to | do in
whatever way the individual is
best fitted. At the end jof each
quarter the Religious jCouncil
meets in a general session, fhe
leaders of the groups' and,?t$eir
members make a report to xhe
Council of the work th6y have
accomplished along the lines of
visiting the sick, getting nep
members for the church,’Ine
spiritual condition of the mem-'
bers, and also what they have
done in a financial way.
This plan has proven the most
successful one we have found
during the administration of
our present pastor, Rey. J. E.
McMillan. I wish to pause here
and say we feel that the Lord
has blessed us in sending Rev.
McMillan. He is the right man
in the right placje and to him is
due the credit of working; out
all the details of' our present ef
ficient plan of running the
church. We have as our goal
to double the membership of
the church within the next two
years, and to meet all of our
benevolent and current expens
es. At the last meeting of 'the
Council, the writer was elected
official reporter for the Church.
So you will hear more of us from
time to time.
The Communion of the Lord’s
Supper was celebrated at Blan
donia church last Sunday morn
ing. The attendance was very
good.
Rev. McMillan preached at
the morning service from
John 1:36, text, “Behold the
Lamb.” This sermon was a mas
terpiece of eloquence and was
full of instruction and spiritual
fervor.
One member was added to the
church at the conclusion of the
morning service. He was as
signed to group No. 2, Elder G.
D. Brodie, leader.
The Sunday school is one of
the great assets of the church.
With Mr. George Roberts as the
very efficient Superintendent;
and a splendid corps of officers
and teachers it is growing in in
terest and numbers each Sun
day.
The choir is well organized
and is rendering good music at
all the church services. They
gave a program of Christmas
music during the holidays.
Mrs. B. G; McMillan is direc
tress and Miss Vivian Alston is
pianist. >■ • ...;
Circles No. 1 and No. 2 of the
Missionary Auxiliary will meet
in joint session in the home of
Mrs. W. F. Cox for the" first
meeting in the new year.
The recital given by the St.
James male Sextet and special
tenor was well received as was
shown by the generous applause
given each number. There is
talk of having them come

with his

CEDAR GROVE COMMUNITY
NOTES
By Mrs. Hattie A. Russell
“Through days before thee
May the skies be fair,
Ever shining o’er thee
Bright beyond compare.
“May no mist of sadness
RiSe thy life to dim,
May thy cup of gladness
Richly overbrim.
“Let the world be brighter, bet
ter
For your having trod its way;
Let your light be seen from
afar
E’re sinks life’s little day.”
“Fill up the hours with what
will last,
Buy up the moments as they
go;
Th@. life above when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit of life below.”
We are glad to say that' the
Christmas; holidays were very
pleasantly spent throughout our
community. Our pastor, Rev. L.
J. Melton and family were with
us a good bit of the time. We
are always glad to have them.
On Christmas night a very
beautiful program, arranged by
Mrs. Carrie B. Harris and Miss
Daisy Lee Byers, was rendered.
The tree was beautiful and the
gifts were many, which showed
that the spirit of Christmas
ran through our community.
We were glad to have with us
during the holiday season our
girls .who are attending Scotia
Woman’s College, and also Miss
Irene Alexander, who is a stu
dent at Price High School, Salis
bury,
f Sits. Carrie B. Harris and lit
tle daughter Virginia spent last
week with relatives and friends
in Winston-Salem and High
Point. -
Misses Alelia and Louise Rus
sell spent the week-end with
their aunt, Mrs. Maggie Rus
sell,. of Huntersville.
•f Elder L. M. Davidson, who
has been confined to his bed
for two months or more, is not
improving as we had hoped to
see.
SHILOH CHURCH NOTES,
WAXHAW,
It has been quite a while
since we let our friends hear
from us, but we are as wide
awake as ever and are striving
to do our best for future pro
gress.
Sunday morning, January 3,
Rev. Hill, our pastor, preached
an interesting sermon from Ex
odus 33rd chapter, fourteenth
and fifteenth verses. We believe
that all persons went away feel
ing that their souls had been
fed with that “true bread.”
Our Sabbath school is large
ly attended and our Superinten
dent, Mr. S. J, Dunlap, is al
ways ready to assist us in any
undertaking.
.We were glad to have wor
ship with us Mr. Charles and
Miss Lucille Hill, of Charlotte,
Mr. R. A. Cuthbertson, of Pine
ville, and Mrs. Maggie Parker,
of High Point.
Miss Daisy Davis passed into
the great beyond a few days
ago after an illness of several
months. Rev. Hill, assisted by
Rev. S. L. Fulwood, conducted
the funeral services. Miss Da
vis, though very young, just
in the bloom of life, had to
leave us. We greatly miss her.
She leaves to mourn her loss
a mother, five sisters, and a host
of other relatives and friends.
The remains were laid to rest in
Ebenezer Cemetery.

BEN SALEM CHURCH NOTES
By Mr. Eugene Grier.
Our pastor, Dr. P. W. Russell,
delivered a beautiful message
from Joshua 14:3, “And com
mand ye them, saying, take you
hence out of the place where
the priests’ feet stood firm,
twelve stones; and ye shall car
ry them over with you and
leave them in the lodging place
where ye shall lodge this night.”
This message was indeed touch
ing and helpful for the begin
ning of a new year.
On December 25th, at 7:30,
our Christmas exercise was ob
served, which was very success
ful.
