But as soon as the sun began to shine the people started from their homes and filled the church to overflowing with onnia fmm five counties and two states. We regretted that all were not permitted to hear the soul stir ring message brought by a former son of the church, Rev. J. B. Eller, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Statesville, N. C. His subject was "Follow the Leading of the Holy Spirit," and was presented with such clearness, force and earnestness that many declared it the greatest sermon they ever heard. After the Morning Worship, one of the most appetizing and copious dinners ever seen m this community was spread beneath the shade trees on the church lawn. It taxed the three hundred and six.y square feet of table to hold the boun tiful supply, which was hardly half consumed by the approximate five i j I n.nnln n re sent. Alter oin- nunuieu r . , . ner. the people reassembled in the auditorium and enjoyed singing some -3") hvmns. that have grown yeirs. The afternoon prB' " a continuation of the high tide of Christian fellowship reached in the forenoon. First-was the Welcome Address by Rev. J. M. Pickens, one of Jupiter's oldest sons :h12. an honest laborer in his Father s vineyard of Jupiter and adjoining communities. The response was by L. S. Roberts, a former son of tte chnrch who is now successfully con ducting a mission Sunday School on Gabriel's Creek, which is a branch of the Mars Hill Baptist Sunday School. Dr.. J. H Hutchins brought us some "Relation of the Sunday School to the Community." ur. nuwi" y- sentad the demand for, the import ance of and the benefits derived from the Sunday Schol work in the com munity. tWer Don C. Young ask ed for a show of hands of those who were Sunday School officers snd Teachers, which revealed the fact that a god portion of the congrega tion was .composed of workers. Jie them brought them face 1 to face wi the truth that God, in calling them in to Hi. srevic. to be HU representa n.d nlaced upon them faremen- I douy responsibilities. 5 He laid fcat to rfve of their best nothing less to the sacred task of teaching God's Word to God's creatures. Mrs. L. s. Roberts concluded the program with a touching appeal to "Keep th .Home Fire Burning." She . showed 1 that these fires were to be kept burning noon the altarr of the God's people. There was good sing ing by the congregation and several selection, by, the Jupiter ebolrba. tween each of hte talks f the after noon The day was truly a Red Let ter day in the life of Jupiter Baptist Chnrch. We are greatly indebted to Vw members of the other denomina tions in the community lor weir heartk cooperation in helping us make it a delightful day for aU. . COUNTY THROAT CUT BY BUS DRIVER Mr. J. C. Cole of Walnut is in a hosDital in Asheville with quite an nclv rut about his throat as a result of an affray near Walnut Gap last Sunday with a Knoxville Asheville bus driver, Jay Hayder, who fled to the mountains after the cutting.
