truck to transport children from the
district to the Liberty high school.

BAPTIST NEWS LETTER
Our church is now effecting an
organization in, among and for its
membership whereby a greater
amount of service can be offered to
all communicants and they in turn
will be able through such an organi
zation to offer better service for the
cause of Christ. The Fellowship Coun
cil is the name of this organization.
The town and community are divided
into sections and each section has its
representatives who keep in touch
with the needs in that given district.
The objects of this organization are
four, namely: better church attend
ance on public worship, adequate
church social service, efficiency in
evangelism and the promotion of the
Gospel plan of financing the church
and Kingdom. More publicity will be
given to this organization in the near
future.
The writer and wife were glad to
have members of the Fellowship
Council meet in their home Monday

was to form plans for financing our
recently purchased lot. This lot is
situated in the center of Asheboro.
It is in close proximity to the largest
residential section of the town. Ample
space is here provided for both
church building and pastor’s home.
The elevation of this lot provides a
commanding view of the greater

been excellent, and does not take into
consideration the damage done by the
weevil, hail, and the like.
