Shr Htbuhxn Wittixth Volume XIX. This, That and the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis At intervals all week I have chuckled over something Mrs. John Broughton told me just after service at our church Sunday night. Our pastor had talked to us about how to study the Bible and had advised that we omit the long tables of genealogy when do ing devotional reading. It remind ed Mrs. Broughton of when sh,; was a little girl and went to a country church. She said they had a custom of occasionally holding an informal meeting when all who would and could take part rose, read a portion of scripture of their own selection, made com ments or not, as they chose, and sat down. Mrs. Broughton, then little Cai rie Gill, decided to read, but told no one about it. Through mistake, or mischance, probably brought on by nervousness, she selected the first chapter of Matthew. To her dismay she found when it was too late to stop that she was into one of those lines of descent She has never forgotten how she stumbled alound over those long names “Jechonias begat Sala thiel; and Salathiel begat Zoroba bel; and Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim—” no wonder she finally quit in confu sion and took her seat without making any comments. When I speak of church nowa days the next thought is of the Raleigh Association, which is to convene here on Thursday, Octo ber 29. For the second time it has been decided to hold the ses sions on one day only, morning, afternoon and night. That mean? delegates from the churches will be given dinner and supper. A committee has been appointed to look after the assembling and serving of food and they plan to have a plate served at noon. In stead of having every housewife bring a box of everything she has time to fix, each woman will pre pare only one or two things. My Sunday School class has been ask - ed to be responsible for potato sal ad to serve 300 and for 200 sand wiches. My husband came into the room as I am telling my son’s (Continued on page six) AHVfAN AC there. eoes the “Evil perjfctuully Inula to disappear'' I ini nr l Spencer OCTOBER V-"-*'”'lS—Georgian calendar in- V*Y" C" . troduced, 1582.

Rotary Club Has Mark Osborne As Guest Speaker The Zebulcn Rotary Club con tinues to urge buying war bonds and getting scrap iron. Rotarians are giving time each meeting to learn how much scrap iron is collected and making in- ; quiries where more can be found The sale of war bonds is encour aging and is a credit to our com munity. Leon Thompson had the pro • gram but on account of the in terest shown in discussing sale of war bonds and getting scrap iron his time was limited. Leon had j for his speaker Rev. Mark Os bourne, pastor of the Bailey and Stanhope Baptist churches. Rev. Osbourne recited a darkey’s ser mon. It was recited well and en joyed for its humor. He gave another recitation that was en- j joyed. Several Rotarians were absent, j We hope they will make up atten- j dance before the next meeting. >/VVVVVVVVSA/VS< I S^VVS/VVVVVVVVVVVVVN^VNAA/VS^i/'yVVVVVVVVVV'AA/S/VVVVV\^VVVV Zebulon Church News BAPTIST CHURCH Services for Sunday, Oct. 25: 9:45 Sunday School 11:00 Morning Worship.
