Signed Nam of penon making nomination will not be published UNION SERVICES HELD LAST SUNDAY Christians and Presbyterians Join in Services in Rosemary Sunday Morning and Evening. Bap tists, Methodists, and Pres byterians Hold Union Services in Roanoke Rapids Sunday Evening Keorted) Last Sunday war, a day enjoy ed by all who attended the union services held in the old barber simp in the hall back of the Rose mary Urug Store. The hall was filled with those who were anxi ous to hear the message of Rev. Geo. W. Crabtree who told the story of his life and how he was saved by the Gospel. The singing was good and en joyed by all. Miss Lina Mc Donald played the organ while Mr. D. L. Askew led the singing. Mr. Crabtree lectured again on Sunday evening in the Baptist church in Roanoke Rapids, the Baptists, Methodists and Presby terians joining in the services. Union services were held again in Rosemary Sunday evening at the same place, at which service Rev. H. F. Morton gave a time ly talk, emphasizing the solemn ity of the service, the Lord's Supper being observed. Mr. Morion preached on Satur day night as well as Sunday night for the Chrisian pastor, Rev. Raleigh L. Topping. The sermons were strong and uplift ing. Unity is. being preached throughout the land and conven tions are constantly held to bring the Protestant world closer to gether but a service like this, held in the midst of a revival meeting is truly helpful and will do more good than councils held.
