Church of Nazarene
Is Organized Here
Plymouth Is First
In North Carolina
East ot Raleigh
Church Organized With 17
Members; Other Will
Join Sunday
Under the direction of Evangelist
Raymond Browning, who has been
conducting the tent revival here, the
first Church of the Nazarene to be
organized in North Carolina east of
Raleigh was established in Plymouth
last Sunday morning, 17 persons com
rjz into the membership. Others
are to be received next Sunday, and
a place for regular worship will also
be secured. A pastor will be ap
pointed at once, Mr Browning said,
and will come here to take charge
within a few weeks.
Mr. Browning, who is superintend
ent of the Carolina district, which
includes all of North Carolina and
part of South Carolina, gives the fol
lowing outline of the work of the
Church of the Nazarene:
Tire work of this church was begun
m Los Angeles, Calif., in 1907 with
something over 5,000 members. The
present membership is above 175,000.
It has six colleges in the United
States and one in Canada, with more
than 3,000 students enrolled, most
of them working while studying and
being trained for definite Christian
work.
Nazarene congregations, even when
small, are able to support their
preachers well because a great many
of them are tithers, contributing one
tenth of all their income to the work
of the church. Last year the Naz
urenes led the 25 principal denomina
tions in per capita giving, $30.01 for
every man. woman and child in their
membership.
Tire Nazarene Young Peoples So
cieties have a membership of more
than 50.000, and the Women's For
eign Missionary Society numbers
above 60.000 The Nazarene people :
are among the most evangelistic of
all and furnish the bulk of all the
evangelists and evangelistic singers j
for the camp meetings in America,
interdenominational and otherwise.
Their local churches think nothing
of holding two to four revivals each
year Said Evangelist Browning: ,
The organization of this church I
in Plymouth will be of peculiar in
terest to Nazarenes everywhere. North
Carolina is the last territory in the
United States for the Nazarenes to
enter, for the reason that the church
started in the west and traveled east,
and this is the first Nazarene church
in North Carolina east of Raleigh.”
If you must waste gasoline, get a ;
cigarette lighter—tve need the rest to
lick the Axis.

War Is Bringing Out
American Ingenuity
In both consumer-goods and in
dustrial fields, the week brings
abundant evidence that good old
"American ingenuity,” which we
Americans have so proudly hailed
for many generations—and which
the present war is putting to its
sternest test—is right in there pitch
ing, trading punches with Mars. A
specialty shop held an “ingenuity
show” that revealed: a wool-like
cloth that's made of soybeans ... A
"victory” electric fan, with blades
of masonite, and with silver instead
of copper in the cord-wire ... A sun
lamp bulb which needs no reflector
or metal stand because the reflect
or is inside the bulb, which screws
into an ordinary electric outlet ... A
clothes brush with no bristles at all
—it’s made of plastic and cleans by
friction. There’ll be a lot of that. Ma
terials due for a terrific upsurge in
just this sort of thing are glass, plas
tics and wood.
On the industrial front American
ingenuity is batting out home runs
at a lively rate. One example (name
less) is an auto parts company
which, undertaking shell manufac
ture, found it had to utilize subcon
tractors in surrounding cities, so or
ganized a motor truck route that
now covers a 125-mile route every
day, touching all six bases and con
stiutting, in effect, a 125-mile “as
sembly line” . . . One company now
is turning out a half-ton of mercury
a day that is so pure the purity has
to be expressed like this: 99.99995
per cent. Formerly raw mercury
came from Spain, Italy and Aus
tria; now it is made from cinnabar
ore from California.
PEANUT OIL NOW U. S. WAR WEAPON
Peanuts for oil to fight the Axis. That is just one of the many
contributions North Carolina farmers are making to the war effort,
according to the State CSDA War Board, with headquarters at State
College. In all. Ameican farmers will produce almost five million acres
of peanuts this year—twice as many as ever have been grown in any
single year. Most of these peanuts will be crushed into oil from which
can be made hundreds of products for both military and civilian pur
poses. The chemist shown above, like hundreds of others, is busy seek
ing and improving new power uses for peanut oil.
