To connect the two towns ] one straight main street was built, and on this street, about halfway be- j tween the two towns the first sec- ] tion of the present Wakelon school, building consisting of eleven rooms j and an auditorium was erected. In the meantime Wakefield and Zebulon school districts had been con solidated by a special act of the Leg islature, a special tax for schools had been voted by the people of the con-1 solidated district, bonds to the amount of SIO,OOO had been issued, and the ( amount had been supplemented by $1,300 from the county for the pur- 1 pose of providing adequate room. For most in the movement of the people for a bigger and better school was Dr. G. M. Bell, of blessed memory, who donated the beautiful ten-acre lot on which the building was erect ed. Within a comparatively short time the school had again outgrown its quarters, and we find the people on April 22, 1913, again voting upon themselves a bond issue, this time to j the amount of $15,000, to provide for , their children with necessary room, ] and the building was enlarged to its present size.

What will it be? Wc’L that is the interesting thing you will learn if you are theie. And every member of the. church is especially aske 1 roine. | So, make your plans to be present an 1 get the blessing that fie woranin and service of God brings to his child. At the evening service, the pastor 1 will preach on the text, “Be sure your sins will find you ot.” The service will be at 8 o’clock and the public is cordially invited to the sendees.

It will be fitted up with the j best modern equipment. Strickland J Brothers, the contractors, tell us that | if the weather remains good and noth , ing unforseen hinders the work they think the building will be ready for occupancy by October Ist. For the coming session painstaking care has been exercised to secure teachers of recognized ability, and it | is confidently felt that the public is now offered the largest and strongest faculty in the history of the school, 1 and the board justly expects the larg j est patronage, the most loyal sup port, and the best results from the school work we have ever had. There 1 will be twenty-six members of the faculty during the earning session. The wonderful progress that has been made by Wakelon school in the past, the sacrifices that have been made for it by bur people, and the ttremendous possibilities, which have scarcely yet been tapped, should awaken in all of us—teachers, pupils, i parents, and people in general—a de termination to do all we can to carry ! forward the institution to a plain of greater usefulness than has yet been | thought of. EPWORTH LEAGUE RE-ORGANIZED After a summer vacation, the young people of the Zebulon Methodist church met at the church last Fri day evening and reorganized the Ep worth League.

C- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1926 CORRECTION SAMARIA BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL Some time%igo during the district Sunday school convention held with the Samaria Baptist church, it was stated in the meeting that Samaria had a membership of over 300 and a Sunday school attendance of aboift 80. Taking the statement as given as facts, I said in my address that in that case, the school was a failure so far as reaching its possibilities was concerned, remembering that in all probability many of the members of the school were not members of the church. Since making the above statement, I have learned that while the mem bership of Samaria is over 300, this lis also true: the Superintendent of | Union Hope Sunday school several ; teachers and many members are from the membership of Samaria church; 1 the Superintendent, several teachers and a number of students of Social Plain church are also from Samaria; and, a number of teachers and rtiem , bers of the Mt. Pleasant Methodist Sunday school are members of the Samaria church too. That is to say, ;of a membership of about 300, 250 I of these are in Sunday school some ! where regularly. A church that fur ' nishes three Superintendents, so many teachers and has over 80 per cent of its membership in Sunday school some where, is a record that will be hard to beat in any church. I am glad to make the above cor rection in justice to Samaria church, and, too, that other churches may get inspiration from the splendid work its membership is doing in Sunday school work. Mr. J. T. Morgan is the fine Superintendent of this unusual school and Rev. J. W. Nobles, of Mid dlesex, is the pastor of the church. THEO. B. DAVIS.
