BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS
The revival services came to a
close on last Friday evening. Fol
lowing the service Dr. John H.
Buchanan left for Spartanburg where
he took the train for his home in
Paris, Tenn.
All in all, we feel that the com
ing of Dr. Buchanan has proved a
great blessing to the church and com
munity. His preaching was sane and
deeply spiritual. His appeals from
evening to evening were heart-search
ing and thought provoking; appeal
ing to the reason and will rather
than to the emotion.
There has been so far some twenty
odd additions to the church by Bap
tism, the majority of which are grown
people.
Sunday morning we experienced
quite a slump in the Sunday School
due to the cold, rainy weather. We
.fell from 124 on the previous Sun
day to 309 last Sunday. The work
being done by the Sunday School of
late is most encouraging. There
has been a better spirit of co-oper
ation throughout.
At eleven o'clock last Sunday
morning the pastor preached from
John 11:44, taking for his subject
"Removing the Grave Clothes," draw
ing analogy between Lazarus after
he had been raised from the dead
by our Lord and the new converts
who have been raised from a spiritu
al death and who are still handicap
ped by the grave clothes of the old
life. The removing of these together
with the training of young Christians
in the work of the church.
Sunday evening the paster preach
ed from Second Peter 1:11 choosing
as his subject "Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ." His central theme
was showing that while all are will
ing to receive Christ as Saviour if
that be all, but are not willing to
make Him Lord of our lives. On
the other hand He will not be our
Saviour without becoming our Lord.
Finally He is to be our Lord whether
He is our Saviour or not.
At the close of the evening serv
ice Brother Stevens asked that the
congregation be seated as he had a
statement to make to the church.
This they did with a bit of misgiv
ing as they had an idea what was
coming. It was at this time that
Brother Stevens made known to the
church that he had accepted the call
to Salem church at Winston-Salem
and tendered his resignation to take

i effect December Ist. In presenting
j his resignation to the church Dr.
Stevens stated that it had been a
great trial to him to make up his
mind to leave Cliffside and the good
people, but that he felt after spend
ing much time in prayer that the
! Lord would have him go to the new
; field. A large 'lumber of the people
I lingered and with tears and broken
| voices tried to express their deep re
i gret in the lo.~s of the pastor who
! has done such a wonderful work here
! during his twenty-five months of serv
| ice. Never has the church had a
• pastor who was more universally
J loved or held a gre 'or influence over
the young people rf the church and
community. The iove and prayers
of the church and the community at
large will go with Dr. Stevens as he
igoes to his new field of endeavor.
; The church has been able under his
I leadership to accomplish more than
j ever in its history and not withstand
ing the depression and the large num
ber of the church's best leaders and
workers that have left us it accom
plished more last year than any pre
vious year in its history.
Dr. Stevens had been called by the
i Trinity church near here to serve it,
|
; preaching each first Sunday after
: noon and on Saturday before. Dr.
■ Stevens preached there last Saturday
j morning and Sunday afternoon. He
'told them on Sunday afternoon that
!it would be impossible for him to
| serve them.
| Mr. W. W. Nanney and family will
'move to Rutherfordton on Wednesday
:of this week. Mr. Nanney has al
! ready been succeeded by Mr. J. C.
! Hames formerly with the Haynes
Bank at Avondale. While we wel
! come Mr. Hames to our town we are
made to feel deep regret at the go
i ing of Mr. Nanney and his splendid
j family who will be so greatly missed
iin the town and especially in the
| work of the church. Mr. Nanney has
served as General Secretary of the
| Sunday School of the Baptist church
i and Mrs. Nanney was president of
j the W. M. S. and teacher in the
i Sunday School. Their daughter, Miss
! Lillian, was pianist for the Junior
Choir. The entire family have been
closely associated with the work of
the church and all forward moves of
the town and will be sorely missed.
Mr. T. B. Bland who for some time
has been working at Cramerton,
moved his family there Monday. We
regret to lose this family who have
also been active in church work.
Miss Grace Bland especially will be
missed in the work of the Junior
B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school work
of Baptist church. She was leader
of one of the Junior B. Y. P. U.'s
and teacher and assistant superin
tendent of the primary department
of the Sunday School.
Mr. C. L. Rhymer left Monday for
St. Petersburg, Fla. Mr. Rhymer has
been associated with the wood shop
here for a long while and will be
missed by his friends.

Due to the courtesy of the Editor
of the Forest City Courier and with
the co-operation of the Editors of
The Ciiffside News the Cliffside
School News will appear each week
on the CliiTside page of the Courier.
We are delighted with this space
as it gives us an opportunity to de
velop our journalistic ability as well
as to let our school patrons know
son:e of the interesting events of our
school life. Thus far we have had
splendid co-operation from all the
school and our efforts have met with
signal success and approval. Let's
keep it up. Our staff is as follows:
William Allhands, editor-in-chief;
Mary Sue Edwards, assistant editor
in-chief and an editor from each
room.
Ou- purpose in having a section in
this paper is to let the people know
what our school is doing as well as
developing the literary side of the
student, and at the same time en
tertaining our readers.
We want to use different types
of material, but material which will
appeal to everybody. Also we want
it to be a section in which we can
discuss topics of interest.
In order to make it a success we
must have co-operation, for it is
very essential in a venture of this
kind. We want each teacher and
each student of The Cliffside school
to co-operate with us in making this
section a success.
We are indeed very thankful to
the Editor of The Forest City Cour
ier for giving us this space each
week.
We have organized a staff so that
we can handle this section more ef
ficiently. An editor is elected in
each grade of the high school and
he collects all of the material out of
that grade each week and turns it
in to the Editor-in Chief, he in turn
gives it to Mr. Erwin, who sends it
in for publication.
The members of the staff are:
William A. Allhands, Editor-in
i Chief; Mary Sue Edwards, Assist
ant Editor-in-Chief; Rosa Mae Hay
nes, Junior Editor; Howard Haw
kins, Sophomore Editor; Maverine
Lemons, Freshman Editor; Amanda
! Haynes, Reporter.

The tenth grade regrets to lose
Lillian Nanney, who is moving to
Rutherfordton, but while we lose one
we are always gaining, so we are
glad to welcome Ollie Bridges from
the Mooresboro school. We are also
glad to have her sister, Bertie
Bridges, in the eighth grade.

The school was delighted to have

Friday he again conducted the
chapel period. Everybody enjoyed
his talk. We hope that he will
come back again soon.
Supt. Charles C. Erwin attended
the Indian Summer Ceremonial of
Oasis Temple in Asheville. He re

The Senior Class have ordered
their rings which are expected to

Our General Science class has
been studying about ventilation, air,
water and foods. Our teacher ask
ed us to make a poster of some of
these things. The subject of the
posters was "Health". Each one
had a good poster. The class voted
on the best poster. We decided that
Mavorean Lemmons had the best
one; C. B. Beason had second best.
What Our Last Year Teachers Are
Doing.
We know that it is impossible to

to spend this winter in New York.
Miss Ada Bridges, second grade
