C Mfflei^Pastdf By Mra R. E. Favors, Reporter “The Disappointed Christ” wag the subject of;.$r. Miller’s sermon Sunday morning, Sept 26- The text ; was Luke 2:7: “And she brought forth • her first born son, and laid him in a manger; because there wasmo room for them in the inn ” : Dr. M.ller said, jin part, that after repeated prophecies, long waiting, fervent hoping, the fusing of nations and languages, when the Master came there was no room for Him. He met disappointments in every walk of life. The people at Jerusa lem, the dfsciplgs, Ji*das, Thom as, Peter all disappointed Him In our day and time is Christ still meeting / with disappoint ments? Have we room for Christ in our hearts, in our thoughts, our time, or our means? The world is sick to day because Jesus has been crowded out. Make more room for Jesus Christ in your life and mind. Among the visitors were Miss Doretha Alexander, of Concord* and Rev- Walker, of Talladega College, Alabama.

Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve: whether he gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood or the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord ” We should accept the motto of Joshua, said Dr. Miller. If we cannot speak for our houses, we can resolve to serve the Lord by building up the major ser vices of our church. As for me, I will serve the Lord. EDWARD WEBB MEMORIAL (Continued from page 1) ness of a child; the faith a child has in his parents; ifehe loving spirit of a child; and the forgiving spirit of a child. These are the qualities which Christ meant when he said to his dis ciplees that except they became as little children they should not enter the kingdom of God, said Rev. Washington. Everybody expressed bis or her regret at Rev. L. B. Wash ington’s leaving the field. He is tocontinue his studies in the Theological Seminary of John son C- Smith University. We feel that Edward Webb is again on her march to success. MRS. L- C- BRYANT ATLANTIC SYNOD Atlantic Synod meets Oct. 29, 1936, with the Ebenezer Pres byterian church, Rome, Ga.

The rates are reasonable; the climate healthful, the loca cation is ideal. For a catalogue or other i nformation, write ‘he President, REV. W. C. HARGRAVE. D. D., ROgersville, Tenn. ! CARVER MEMORIAL CHURCH, NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA It is possible there is very lit tle heard of the above named church through the church or^ gan. But having been an inter ested onlooker and worshipper for quite a while, I am in a po sition to say, of a truth it is not because this church is dead. It does not carry the largest con gregation, but in accordance with the membership who have been in the city during the sea son I believe it has been credit ably attended. The services are always inter esting, the choir’s well chosen, well sung selections putting one in a receptive attitude. The sermons by the pastor, Rev. J. Metz Rollins, are presented with spiritual power and are taken in and, it is to be hoped, made not simply food for thought, but for action in the everyday life of each hearer. Every Sunday the doors of the church are thrown open wide, so to speak, by the pastor, and at such times, oftimes Two have thus united during the past four or five weeks, and several others joined previous ly. It seems that as the weather gets cooler the members get warmer and rally around the banner of the cross. The Sunday school has taken oh new life and adds members to i+s roll each Sunday. The adults are showing quite an in terest therein. And as they thus will not have to say to the child. “Go,” but “Come” to Sun day school, the result can’t be other than growth. The Ladies’ Missionary So ciety is active, also the Chris tian Endeavor, which is under the supervision of Mrs- Rollins The society held its installation of officers Sunday night, Sep tember 20, and a candle light service was the principal fea ture of the occasion. The Ladies’ Missionary Socie ty and Men’s League recently went out of the city a bit one night where they held their an nual sodial celebration- Bach society had its separate meet ing first, winding up on a beau tiful lawn, where togethr they were joined by the invited friends. The writer had the great pleasure of being present. Monday night, Sept. 14th, the choir gave a social in the base ment for the youth who were going to high school and college. Games, etc., wefre enjoyed. Thus it is readily seen that the church fg alive to the fact that a Christian 'needs mare .than sermons to help keep one fit for service. The 4th Sunday in September is set for a general home-coming of the church the Sunday school, and it ig hoped all will stay on the job through the , season. The first Sunday ir November is set for a Rally. 11 is hoped to raise at least $500 Sunday, September 20, Rev Rollins seemed at his best. H« spoke to a goodly number. Thes lent attentive ears while he dis coursed from Ephesians 6:12 “For our wrestling is not againsl flesh and blood, but againsi principalities, against the pow ers, against the world-rulers o thig darkness, against the spir itual hosts of wickedness in thi heavenly places.” AN OBSERVER.
