Being where A believe God wants me, I believe heart and soul in Sylva. Every ounce 'of strength is dedicated to her welfare, ''very move made comes from a deep-seated passion to serve, to lift, i.ui a dedicated lite does not always mean immediate success. ' ' None of us to himself, and none dietlrto i isn-irlf." Success is impossible with out cooperation. Without the patron ot ihc church people, the busi ness linns of Sylva woidd soon close their doors. But what kind of patron age are you giving the church ? Arc w a *member ot a church? If so, what kind of a member 1 Are you an asset or a liability! Supposing you are not a member, what would you aurl your home and business be with out the church and the church peo ]>!e? I nm trying to say that we must have your support and cooperation if our struggle to make Sylva a better town succeeds. No town is a success that makes religion a side line. One of the greatest assets of any town is its churches. This is true because the church is in the business of remak-j ing spoiled lives, and guiding growing lives. What an opportunity! What a' task! The task commands the respect arid supj)ort of all, because the in dividual is the gainer by investing. It is this passion to serve, to lif*. that brings to our town Rev. W. L Griggs of Charlotte, to preach for tu for ten days. He is not a profession nl evangelist, but rather a consecrat ed, successful pastor. Every life he touches while in our midst will be better because of the touch. As pastor of the Baptist church, I earnestly in vite you to put your life under the; influence of this godly man by at tending the services. - I am not reqesting the places of business to close, tho that would in sure a greater meeting and your bus iness would not suffer in the least; but I am hoping that the business houses in town will do* with just as little help aspossible during the elev en o 'clock service and thus give those who wish to, a chance to attend. No man loses when he gives God a square deal. How my heart aches to see reli gion occupy its rightful place in Sylva! What an asset, it wonid be to our town! If you cooperate and put yourself under the influence of this meeting, a long step in that direc tion will have been taken. Yours for a gpdlier town, J.
