T. wiison, pastor of the host church, said yesterday. The purpose of the preaching mission, he added, is to reach our people in a united effort during this week which we have designated as "A Week of De velopment - Enrichment - De dication." This will not be the usual revival type service but will be a time of spiritual growth, a deepening of our understanding of the Christian faith and our Methodist heritage, Mr. Wilson said, and a renewed effort of loyalty to the Church. Mr. Wil son continued: "It is observed that all the Methodist Churches of Warren County cooperate frequently on many other actlvites such as Mission Studies, training ses sions, evangelistic visitation, youth programs and music workshops. All of these pro grams are outgrowths of our attempts to perform a more adequate Christian ministry in a small rural county which is gradually decreasing in popula tion. However, the Methodist Churches have managed to maintain a st-eady- member ship of approximately 2200 Methodists in the county with out any sharp decrease in mem bership or in programs and activities. "We are grateful to our loyal laymen and women who have helped the growth of Christian ity in Warren County and who for many years have given un tiring devotion to our other church activities such as the planning for this Preaching Mission. With their continued lovaltv. methodism in thp name of Jesus Christ our Savior will not go out of business in War ren County. It is hoped that this Preaching Mission will enhance the growth of Methodism in Warren County. The public is invited to attend. A nursery will be provided." IH&' ? t. J 5>S^ I ^ v j ^TL-. i I!

Webb said that no starters from last year's boys'team are back for play, and only 17 boys are seeking berths on the team.

He said that he hopes this year to Inau gurate a program looking to stronger teams for the school. He said with this In mind be hopes to have both Junior var sity and eighth grade teams this year. Coach Webb was a little doubtful how he could find time for coaching both the boys and girls basketball teams and de vote time to junior varsity and freshman teams, but said it Is a must If a good program is to be developed.
