"Dearly beloved with abiding devotion to you, I hereby tender my resignation as pastor of the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church to take etTect the second Sun day, the 14th of July". No action has yet been taken by the church in regard to Mr. Trueblood's resignation, but under the circumstances it is felt that it only remains for the church to accept the resignation with sincere and profound re gret. LEWIS B. JONES WRITES HOME Thursday, June 13, 1918. To my friends at Roanoke Rapids. Roanoke Rapids should be proud of the little army of sol diers they sent to fight for the noble cause of liberty, they are good ones, and will do their very best. I wish our friends back there could see us now, they would hardly know us. Yester day, Wednesday, Uncle Sam dressed us up from head to foot. : Believe me those fellows we left I at Roanoke Rapids such asj chauffers, soda jerkers and board j mill operators have no idea what! they are missing. Would be glad to have them with ua. As fori myself, if I continue to grow a3 I have for the past few weeks I may be as large as Chief Baird some day. I want to mention the Herald which seems like a letter, and is welcomed by all the boys. When a boy receives " herald the rest begin tog'" 4 .'ound him and they read evv.y word it contains. Hope they will continue to come. I close with best regards for all my friends. Lewis B. Jones, Co. 43, 156th D. B. Camp Jackson, Columbia,' S. C.
