taken from scenes of real life in
the Carolinas, will be shown at
the North Wilkesboro Methodist
church on Sunday evening, July
21, at 8:15. The public has a
cordial invitation to' be present.

influence of the early church on
the solution of pressing social
problems of today and shows the
origin and the work of the Duke

pitals, rural churches and uni
versities.
“The Trail of the Circuit Rid
er” is authentic: every scene
from real life in the Carolinas;
no professional actors. But even
more interesting in many re
spects, the audience sees and
hears well known peoiple, col
lege presidents, business men,
preachers, physicians, tenant
farmers, and negroes, as they
move in the glare of the moving
picture camera and as they speak
in''the microphone.
