Warsaw Baptist Church Votes Full Time Pastor After many years of cooperative work the Johnson Chapel and War saw Baptist churches have decided to so along in seperate paths. There is a great pride in both churches for a Job well done in this move. Johnson Is the older of the two churches and -can be called the fa ther of the Warsaw church. It has .fcwneJpwl and It-en rc grow . jxum generation w generation 'until today it has rea ched full maturity. Johnson can now oast its eye around for new field to serve, maybe joining an other church not quite strong en ough to carry the toad alone, or maybe pioneer a new Baptist church In Duplin. Warsaw' membership has grown until lt is now the largest church in town with a membership suf fcienCCy strong enough to support a full time pastor. Rev. Dr. Green law, who has been serving the two churches, will continue to serve Johnson until details of the new antangemen can be worked out For the past several months Paul Mull, mlnistrial student at Wake Forest hat been helping him at Johnson.
