We may take our tables as altars, it is for us to decide. We should bring our family together. We should have a place for God to meet us. Careful thought should be given to the little children. They should be dedicated to God in their homes. Sunday motming, November 23, the men are planning to pin a flower upon every one entering the church. They are asking you to contribute a dime.

CHURCH (Continued from page 2) p’ied: “Was he a good preach er Or a good speaker?” Some of us never stop long enough to distinguish between the two. Seventh Street church has a good people with a good preach er. It is also self-supporting and benevolent. I recall when I was a mem ber of Catawba Presytery hav ing listened to a report made by Prof. R L. Douglass, who was the representative from Seventh Street church, and he reported the pastor’s salary raised in full and something like three hundred dollars raised for benevolences. Long live Dr. Wyche and his good people for the wonderful record established P. N. BOYKIN. Carthage, N. C.
