Methodist Revival
MagnbliaSepH9-25
The pastor and membership of
the ' Magnolia Methodist . Church
have been busy over the past few
weeks making plans for their re
vival to be held Sept. 19-25. Plans
call for the services to begin on
Sunday night, September 19 and to
continue through Sunday morning,
September 25, with services begin
ning at 7:45 each night. The pastor,
Rev. J. G. White, will also be the
preacher for the week long services.
In addition to the messages each
thee will also be a song sevice and
night, there will also be a song ser
vice and special choir music.
Preparations for the -revival be-,
gan on Sunday morning. August 22
when the pastor preached on "A
Prayer For A Revival". At the close
of this service "Prayer Convenant
Cards" were signed by the member
ship on which they pledged them
selves to pray daily for the church,
the pastor, and others outside the
fellowship of the church. A second
pledge service was heldi on Sun
day -morning, August 29th when
those inrt 'present for the-other
service were given art opporttmitj
roS'E0?!: 'CTTt one day ith the company.

the Prayer Covenant
Since then, weekly prayer meet
ings have been held at the church
each Tuesday night at 8:00 o'clock.
During these services, the congre
gation divided "themselves into small
prayer 'groups, under he direction
6f a prayer leader, where they
pra: ed for those on their individu
al prayer list and also for the suc
cess of the revival.
The Commission On Member
ship and Evangelism has also been
busy securing the names of those
in the community who have no
church home. This has been done
so the pastor and members of the
church can -contact all in the com
munity during and before the re
vival about their church relation
ship. An effort will be made to
reach every unchurched family in
the community.
Publicity about the revival has
also been directed to the communi
ty by way of large posters, postal
cards, and word of mouth invita
tions. It is hoped that by tills extensive
preparation and the prayers of the
membership, that the revival will
have a lasting and far reaching ef
fect both in the church and the
community.

.Company 'HI" 119th Infantry.,
Warsaw's own National Guard unit
has lust returned from one of its
most successful summer camps un
der Capt. Henry C. Merritt, The
unit left , Warsaw at ; 11:50 p. m.
August 15th and arrived at Fort
McClellan, Ala in time for an 8:00
o'clock breakfast Monday morning.
The first week was spent on the
various ranges of the camp (Ml
rifle, 30 cal. Machine gun, 81MM
Mortar, and 75MM Recoiless Rifle).
"M" Company had 100 gualifica
tion of its men on all ranges ex
cept the Ml Rifle range.
The weekend was highlighted by
the arriva) of Billy Graham, noted
evangelist, and his service held on
Saturday night. Estimated attend
ance of this meeting was over
twenty thousand. Lt. H. C. Allen
taught a Sunday School lesson the
following morning which was so
well attended by the men from
Company "M" that the Regimental
Chapalin commented on it during
his regular Sunday morning ser
vice. The men of the 30th Division
moved into the field to spend their
second week. Pup tents were set
up, field kitchens erected, and la
trines dug Monday morning. In the
afternoon a demonstration of tanks
and infantry in the attack was
presented to the division by its
own components.
During this summer camp some
thirty odd members of the North
Carolina Senate and House accepted
invitations to visit the Division dur
ing its stay in the field -and observe
first hand Just what the National
Guard was accomplishing. Company
"M" was very fortunate in having
as its guest Rep. Carl V. Venters
eating breakfast and dinner with
the men before being flown back
to North Carolina by the Air Na
tional Guard. All of these men ex
pressed their amazement at the state
of training the Guard has achieved
with its limited drill schedule.
The following two days were uti
lized by "M" Co. to run Platoon
oroblems prepared by the platoon
leaders, Lt. H. C. Allen Machine
gun, It. George C. Kornegay 81MM
Mortar, Lt. Raymond Rivanbark
75MM Rifle. These problems were
so well prepared and executed that
Company "M" won the Batallion
training award as having the best
training within the Batallion dur
ing the 1954 encampment
The remaining days were spent
preparing to return home. Beds
and mattresses had to be turned in,
buildings scrubbed, windows wash
ed, areas policed, but finally train
time arrived and the company was
loaded and returned to home sta
tion .safely.
.Warsaw has reason to be proud
of her men for no other company
in the third Batallion can boast of
their record over the " past four
years. With Captain Henry C, "Mer
ritt commanding during this period
Company "M" has compiled a rec
ord of three Superior ratings and
one Excellent They have never
been TVted as merely Satisfactory.
Young men who join the National
Guard before they are 18Vi years
of age cannot be drafted. Corrapany
"M" now has room for several men
who wish to serve their country and
help to KEEP TOUR GUARD UP.
