I shall not attempt to write in
much detail of this 18th Home
Coming. It is enough to say
that the program measured well
up to the . high standard Zion has
maintained from the beginning of
this special series of services.
Also, no attempt will here be
made to revive the history of
this famous .old church, since this
has been rather fully covered, as

An address -by "Commissioner
Chairman John W. Coyington
featured the afternoon program,
which began at 2:00 o'clock. TMr.
Covington spoke in a much more
serious -vein than is -.customary
with him, pointing out the de
sirability and the necessity of
personal righteousness. His talk
lasted 30 minutes.
Among other speakers called to
the floor for short talks were
Julian Carr and Dr. J. H. Ellerbe.
Mr. Carr, who lives at Stone
ham, Mass, and had to travel
farther than any other home
comer, spoke feelingly of his
early recollections of Zion the
home church of his deceased
mother and father and of the
other members of the family. To
him Zion means much more than
just a little white building, and
this trip back to it is one of the
real joys of his life.
Then came Dr. Ellerbe, always
witty, who may have saved the
life of a future preacher. Rev.
Mike Ellerbe and himself were in
school together when they were
small boys he didn't say how
long ago. One day at recess he
heard agonizing cries for help.
Dashing over behind the school
house he found a drove of puppies
chasing Mike with all the fury
of a pack of hounds in, close
pursuit of a fox. He stopped the
dogs and brought relief to the
fleeing Mike. "The puppies would
hardly have hurt Mike," said Dr.
Ellerbe, "but he would have run
himself to death."
Mr. W. C. Ellerbe (Mr. Bud)
was present but for the first time
took no part in the program. No
man in the last 50 years has
worked harder for the success of
Zion in both church and Sunday
School. He well deserves a rest,
but no doubt many were disap
pointed in not hearing his talk,
which has been such a bright
spot in former Home Comings.
As usual, dinner was served
from the big table across the
road. After the blessing was in
voked by Pastor J. F. Herbert,
