I have an old record book that shows a weekly collection of ,' ° 4,1-,l0- So you see that we lave nrogressed in money mat ters. This, of course, comes from new members that we have receiv ed m recent years who believe in tithing. The collection plate used to be to us a thing of ornament instead of a thing of service. We Pay the janitor a larger salary now than we used to pay the pas tor. We support the Baptist Co operative program to the fullest, a, we are on a budget there are no special collections, our treasurer simply writes a check. (iieater progress has been made in the show of reverence in and around the church. This has been a long hard fight, fraught with heartaches, hard feelings, and criticism. Once I heard a young man that was trying to conduct a Training Union get into the pulpit and say to the other young peo ple, "This church is known as Racket Hill from Oteen to Old Fort, you are a shame to the coun try. I have heard whooping and hollering a mile away many times. There is seldom a disturbance of any kind now. Someone said the other day that this was because of a more reserved crop of chil dren, but I know better, all young sters will run wild if not kept under control. This progress comes from teaching the chaps to love and respect the house of Uod. <Mir Sunday school attendance has been considerably more than it was last year. We have started a H.T.U. that is growing gradual ly, we have an unusually strong adult union. The most commend able thing about the Sunday school is the faithfulness of the officers and teachers. Last summer we conducted a highly successful va cation Bible school, this was done with local teachers and leaders. I put in my 2 cents worth by teach ing the boys crafts. The school closed with an evangelical message delivered by my beloved Minnie. Five young people accepted the Saviour, four of which led to baptism. The last and finest ser vice that Ole Huldy ever did for North Fork was to help the chil dren to the Bible school. Kd Du Puy came out and photographed this fine group of young people and devoted leaders. More near and dear to me is the music department. This is un der the direction of Betty Jean Shook and myself, we take out work seriously and study constant ly, sometimes under trying cir cumstances. North Fork has al ways been known for good con gregational singing, and there has been much special music. At Christmas time there was a semi musical program which brought pleasure to everyone’s heart. We got even more ambitious at Faster —we took a number of anthems by such composers as Sibelius, some of the greater hymns together with Scripture readings and ren dered it as a simple cantata. This was the most impressive musical program that has been at Moun tain View in my memory. Yes, 1 think our musical standards have progressed. It is almost superiiuous u> men tion the quality of the preaching at Mountain View. 1 used the word poignant to describe this until folks started poking fun at me, but this word with its many mean ings is the only one that tells the storv, any visiting stranger will bear me out in this. These ser mons are so simple and moving that they melt a plain person like "Uncle” Tommy Morris into a tor rent of tears, yet deep and erudite enough to satisfy the utterly so phisticated. After making a liv ing teaching school and tending to his other business, I just don’t see how the Rev. Eugene Byrd does it. Of course, his case is like the rest of us—being devoted to the task. Yes, our standards are high, and we are progressing. Yet there are those that would change all this. Why? Well, My Dears, in the common vernacular, that is the $114 question. We are trusting to a benevolent God to guide us through this whirlwind hour. The Book savs that these things will come, but that we will be given strength and grace to sustain us. Last Monday night Betty Jean Shook, Minnie, and I had a cozy visit with Mrs. Pearl Perkins of Ridgecrest. Betty Jean and 1 had lots of fun with Mrs. Perkins Hammond organ. Miss Sarah Kitchen was our hon ied guest at midweek prayer nee ting. We see where we made Reflec jons last week.

Kennedy of Black Mountain, sailed Monday for duty in Japan. He was promoted to recruit squad leader, petty of ficer. following completion of his boot training at the U. S. Naval Training center at Great Lakes, 111. Prior to sailing fee Japan on Monday he was stationed at the naval base at San Diego, Calif. from a ladder last week and in jured his feet, but is about well enough to go back to work. Shirley Williams favored us with a beautiful solo at Sunday morn ing church services. Clyde N'anney, B. H. Chandler, and Thelma Williams took a group of young people to the Old Fort picnic ground on an outing last Saturday, 15 were in the party. The Ilappy Four quartet of the sheriff’s department put on a de lightful program at Mountain View Sunday night, the only trouble was that they didn’t sing enough. The Rev. Seth Perkinson made a short talk. The quartet looked very chipper in their snazzy uniforms. We had many visitors. I remem ber the time when part of the con gregation would have jumped out the windows if this many deputies had come in. We went to the meeting oi me Black Mountain Garden club last Friday night at Rangoon Lodge. We always have a wonderful time at the Styles’ unique place. Sev eral of the new members and vis itors were surprised at the many interesting things, one lady wanted to know if there was an auxiliary heating plant other than the great stone fireplace, she was told that there was, she looked up and saw a big moonshine still hanging from the rafters, and wondered if that was part of the heating plant, we assured her that this apparatus in the hands of an expert could he made to generate plenty of heat. Mr. Styles says that there are 2700 bags of cement in the walls of their home. This was a covered dish supper and we ate on the ter race overlooking the valley and away to the Craggies. The food was as delicious as ever with any number of tantalizing meat dishes, and more desserts than we knew what to do with. The program following was a film called The Waters of Coweeta, its a pity that more people can’t see this film. Mi. Dolittle, who ran the film, an swered a number of enlightening questions later about water supply, one of those was as to how long it took water to purify itself in a mountain stream, he judged about a mile if the stream was really turbulent. Someone said that an old mountaineer told him that it was purified after it ran across two rocks, but I do not be lieve this, I always heaid that it took nine rocks. Anyway it was a good meeting and everyone had a good time. _ This clipping will entitle Miss Ihirley Williams and one guest to ree admission to the Fix Theatre a see the gigantic cinemascope hit •Hit the Deck.” MISSES Cotton — Nylon — Bemberg Decron $5» * Sizes 7-15, 10-18, 14Va to 24Vi BEAUTIFUL COLOR STYLES Just Right For Summer MISSES WASHABLE SHORTS & BLOUSES NAVY - RED - BROWN - YELLOW - BLACK GREEN - WHITE — Sizes 8-10, 12-20 : USE OUR LAY A-WAY PLAN l Misses?
