ort hich may be of interest to
inWfwt to the members of the
local church and all of those of

ed by an overwhelming vote for I i , h.w ,
civic rights for women.
The substituion of a more easi
ly comprehended term for "cath

so received the recorded adoption
of the North Carolina Confer
ence. Although several changes were
made this year in the stationing
of both presiding Elders and
Pastors, the Warren ton District

E. M. Snipes, and the local
churches and those neighboring
us have returned their pastors
of last year, with the exception
of Littleton, which I to be serv
ed this year by Rev. G. B. Starl
ing. Just a word of appreciation
from the preachers returned by
the authority of Conference to
this community, a promise on
their part of their' cooperation
on every just issue, and a request
for the whole hearted support of
their constituency; concludes
this writing, and begings what
we trust to be, the greatest year
