Bunch, mayor of the town,! presided over the rrjeeting and heard the discussion of this location of this new building.

Dr. Herman Stevens has accepted a call to the Orcutt Avenue Baptist church in Newport News, Va. Announce ment was made this week concern ing Dr. Stevens’ acceptance of this call and general regret is being ex pressed over the town over the pros pects of losing Dr. and Mrs. Stevens. The Stevens came to Asheboro four years ago when Dr. O. G. Tillman, pastor of the local church fell ill. At that time the congregation worship ped in a wooden church which burned to the ground in December 1933. Dr. Stevens, with practically one hundred per cent cooperation from his congre gation, set about building a new church which was completed in Sep tember 1934. This handsome and quite modem church now stands as a monument to the persistent efforts of pastor and congregation during the period of depression. The present church is valued at $35,000 and the congregation is now in good financial condition as the church year closes. The work of Dr. Stevens during his four years in the town has not been limited to his own church. In civic matters also he has been un usually active in service. He is a member of the local Kiwanis club and his services as a speaker are often in demand. Perhaps the most outstanding piece of work outside the walls of his own church and his own congregation is the organization of the Baptists, numbering between three and four thousand in Randolph, into a county association known as the Randolph County Baptist Association. Dr. Stev ens was made the first moderator of this body and he has served tirelessly in this work. There are twenty-nine Baptist churches in the county at i pfegerft _ During the spring Dr. Stevens as sisted in a revival service at this church and when, a short time ago, the pastor resigned to accept another call, the congregation of Orcutt church lost no time in uhanimously calling Dr. Stevens. The church has a membership of 1,400 and is consid ered one of the best charges in this section of the south. Dr. and Mrs. Stevens plan to leave for their new work the first of Nov ember. A word must be spoken for Mrs. Stevens, as she leaves Asheboro where she has lent her musical tal ent and leadership in many phases of religious work in the town and cotinty. Several From Mt.
