i the only holiday that church and

Namely A day of Thanksgiving to

of an hour's service, which the 'faith'

day is spent in accordance with either
the original proclamation of churc.n
and state, not the one sent out by
our President this year, 19.18. Neith
er football, hunting nor vacation
trips are mentioned in the procla

Hence, can we say we consistently
fulfill the meaning and intent of the

tlaer of the Waynesville district of

speaking I think there is a due ap

from our forebears. I believe that
people whose lives count for much
are just as erateful today for national
I blessings as they ever were."'
Mrs. L. M. Richeson Vice presi
dent of Appalachia Synodical of the

right by attending the union service."
