Hon. Clyde R. Hoey President N. C. Federation Wesley Bihlo Classes} 'in 1 teacher # of Men’s Bible Class of Central Methodist Church, Shelby. (By Renn Brum.) fTlnlby is considered one of the best ; “Sunday school towns in North Car-, oliria,” generally speaking. More men and boys attend Sunday school in Shel by regularly than any town of similar size in the stale. The teachers of the various classes of men and boys at .tend Sunday school in Shelby regu lary than any town of similar size in the stae. The teachers of the vari ous classes of men are more than any thing else the answer to this large at tendance. Central Methodist church has n Wesley ttiblo <"a. hat >s point ed out ns an exantple el.u ; through- * out the southern conference. Many ox- 1 planations nmy ho given ; to why it. is an outstanding tins . but. the mem bers of the class have only one ex planation 0!y<!" It. 1 lory. A dose observer catches the im pression that the former congressman (rets more pleasure < u‘ of that one hour each Sunday morning than from any other one thine in life, and the ; observation is not far from true. I’er i haps that is the secret of the power with which ho holds the undivided at tention of the 200 men who eagerly return Sunday after Sunday. Those who have heard the man known in the Halls of Congress as the “Silver-ton gue of the South” only on the politi cal stage nr before the bar, as one of the state’s greatest lawyers, do not really know the man at all. It’s be fore his Bible class, the class of which he is the magnetic drawing card, that he really is great. Unusual Growth. * When the Central Bible class was first organized there were 12 mem bers on roll with an average atiend now is 35 times what it was at or ance of five. The average attendance jranization and the enrollnicnnt is 21 times .is large. Ward Arey, who su pervises attendance and such matters, ay that the present enrollment is 205 with an average attendance of 175. Class is “Human." Knockers and their allies in the complaining class of people have the '■pinion that the Bible class spirit oral, at the door when the lec'ure is complete, (nit it is not so with the Cen tral eli s, which functions 21 hours a day, s* von days each week. When a little card remains dangling on the membership board someone knows in a very short time where that member i . it he happens to lie sick he is re membered in a prayer by class and also by visits from the sick commit tee. If carelessness attending hep1 the card on the board someone reminds the missing member before th<- lu x Sunday, and working in such a manner the atendance committee keeps i p the average of the “example class.-" I'owm itt the Children's Hume at W :i ton Salem i.-i an orphan younp |; ter, Injt one who has 265 “dads”— I he members of I he Central class. Sometimes hack the class bepan the upkeep of the boy, and as the holiday reasons, that mean so much to a youngster roll around, Robert is never fnrpoten, and p rh'ips he wan'd have ;t bit more fun if he could see the dip ni Tied member: and th 1 younp, lively fellows scrambliop for the table to ‘chip in” on making life worth living fur Robert.

Ilertofore the class has been meetinp in or e of the ha'ls of the municipal building adjoining the old church, but on many occasions the room was inadc quat" and unable to eomfortab'y seat those attending. Visitors come from far and near fo rthe privilege of hear inp Mr. Hoey and seeing the ‘example class” and when in the new quarters the invitation will be made more gen cral and the attendance committee will open a now campaign for more members. Kingsport Brick Is Liked In Shelby, N. C. * -- 9 Thp fact that the recent and better buildingsf both private and public in Shelby, have used the product of the Kingsport Brick corporation of Kings port, Tenn., is undisputable evidence j of their quality. J. D. LinebcrgerV Sons are the selling agents for Kings port brick in this territory and seldom ' does a building of the better class go up without using all or part of the Kingsport products. The plant has a daily capacity of 150,000 brick in the following kinds—shale common brick, colonial sand faced brick, red rough texture, mingled shade rough tex- ! ture, red rug texture and mingled; shade rug texture. W. f and Rea Hinson who main-1 tain offices in the Latta Arcade at Charlotte are the representa'ives of Kingsport Brick corporation in the Carolinas and these are both enter prising and reliable men who sold more than seven million Kingsport in the two Carolinas last year and-in dications are that the salts will run several millions higher in 1924. The nag" adverlisemen in this sec tion gives a partial list of churches) that have used Kingsports within the last few years. So satisfactory have the users been that they have sung the praises of Kingsports and the de-' mand isr almos^ beyond the. plant’s! capacity. Dudley’s Plumbing” In Central Church <J. G.
