FROM CULIOWHEE, Dear Editor: I am asking for space in your paper in which to say only a few words. ; x The Summer Session of , the Cul lowhee Normal opened last week with a matriculation of about fifty. The number is steadily growing by the coming in of others from the different parts, of the state. We are very much inspired by the bright, sunny faces of those destiny mak ing students and school, teachers, who have come to Cullowhee to take training for better and more effi cient service. May we be a bless -ing to them while they are in our midst. May I say that the Kingdom work of Jesus at Cullowhee is mov ing on but slowly, however irresist ably. Our new church building is still at a standstill, as we have been unable to obtain our loan from 'the Board, but we are expecting it at an early date. Ve were very greatly blessed by the Lord on the Fourth Sunday afternoon of last month by having with us in a service set apart for the ordination of deacons, Rev. J. 0. Fullbright, pastor of the Sylva and Beta Baptist churches and our most worthy and beloved Enlistment Sec retary, Rev. W. N. Cook, and quite a number of deacons from sister churches. The Church was called in conference by the pastor, the deacons elect were presented and received the charge by Brother Cook and were ordained, after which Brother Fullbright preached a very brilliant and heart searching ser mon on the subject of "Christian Service" which was enjoyed by all present. We were glad to have these brethren with us. and Jnvite, theni to come again... ; -. 1 ' Permit me to say further that the good women of Cullowhee have not ceased from their deeds of kindness and works of love. On the evening following the arrival of Mrs. Hoglen and little daughter, Covia May at our .new home there came quite a number of good women, Methodists and Baptists c coming together, bringing with' them u por tion of the luxuries from their pan tries, with many good things, for which we were very thankful. They were followed in a few days by another band ofwomen p f t h e same making, bringing with them many good things such as are needed by a family. Blessings on these ood women and may we prove worthy of their love. It is with much pleasure, also that we think of the kind and hearty reception given us by the good peo ple of Webster Baptist church. . The Lord is very greatly 'blessing the work of the Kingdom that we are doing there. We have just complet- ea an every member canvas, -in ' which we took a religious census o the people and at the same time we installed an envelope system also, by which we hope to be able to raise the larger part of our finances for this year. We are planning also or about four or six Sunday School fooms in addition to the 6hurch building. Then in about four or six weeks we are expecting the Lord to give us a revival of the old time religion and also; the gathering of many of our precious boys and girls into the Kingdom of our blessed Lord. The good people on both fields are worthy of the best service that we may possibly render. May the Lord help us to be worthy of such a place of honor and service. Respectfully, John Hoglen, Pastor. Mrs. W. V. Dorsey and little daughter, Virgiline, are here from Ela, the guests of Mrs. A. A, Nich ols. ' CATHEY RM10RIAL Memorial services were held at the, Methodist church .
