At the regular church !
conference, at the conclusion of ;
the service Sunday night the
church very generously voted to
increase the pastors salary; this
kind act of the church was un-
expected by the pastor and he ,
assureu ine people niui ne appre
ciated the motive that actuated
them in this liberal action even
more than the salary, as it was
an evidence of their confidence
in him and love for him.
Mr. Trueblood has been asked i
more than once, duriner the Dast i
year to consider other fields of!
labor that paid considerably
but feeling that (.od wanted him i
to remain at Roanoke Kapids
longer, and appreciating so much j
the loyalty and love of the j
Roanoke Rapids Church and its j
friends and the kindness of the
people generally, he steadfastly
refused to consider other fields.
The church in its generous action
Sunday night was not aware of
the above facts and did what
they did spontaneously without
any solicitation on the part of
any one.
The prospects of the church 1
are indeed bright; preparations
are on foot for a Sunday school
entertainment. In the early
spring the church will concen
trate its efforts towards the
erection of a parsonage, one
brother has already agreed to
Kivethe lot for this purpose, andi
H- t,0. a wi LI ;
will
doubtless raise about $300.00 to
wards this purpose.
The pastor and his family are
away this week attending the
Baptist State Convention at
Elizabeth City, the pastor's home .
town and church where he was;
ordained. j
Mrs. Trueblood and baby wib I

The Cemetery Again
As Secretary and Treasure of
the Cemetery work, I would like
to ask all people who have rela
tives buried there to keep the
graves in good condition, round
ed up, and if there are no head
and foot posts, have enough in
terest to place some there. Why
not keep the square clean on
which the grave is located? If
you own a square why not keep
it in good shape? Why not plant
sonje lawn grass on your square
and in the alley? Some pledges
have been made for the cemetery
work and have not been paid,
wish all would send the amount
pledged.
