THE PERQUIMAKS WEEKLY. HERTFORD. N. C PRtDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 19448
DiheSst Pastor
Reports Crusade
toas Over The Top
In speaking before the official
board and Crusade committee, at a
meeting following the mid-week ser
vice last Wednesday evening, the
i Rev. B. C. Reavis, pastor of the
Hertford Methodist Church, express-
ed his sincere appreciation and de-
, light for the response the congrega
tion has shown to the challenge is
sued in the Crusade for Christ.
"Beyond all question the Crusade for
Christ, officially, launched by the
1944 General Conference, is the bold
est and most comprehensive pro
gram for world redemption and re
habilitation ever put upon the hearts
Of the people of ourchurch. From
all over our church at large there
Comes reports of how wonderfully
the people are responding to the call
to raise 825,000,000 for this great
cause, but I have not heard of a more
beautiful, heroic and Christian spirit
being snown any where than nere In
'our local church.- Indeed, I am proud
of the people that I serve for they
are proving themselves to be worthy
followers of Christ in this and in the
!ather phases of our church program.'
) "Our church was asked to raise
tfl its minimum $2,500 and last Sun
'day morning was designated as the
Jtime when the offering should be
placed on the church. At that time
2,303.75 in cash was placed on the
alter and pledges that went well over
the $2,500 were made. Since that
time contributions ranging from $1
to $100 have continued to come in
until now we are well "over the top"
and other contributions are coming
in. This la nothing short of wonder
ful, and especially as we remember
that this is outside of our regular
church .budget, which it the largest
ever in the history of our church,"
ciaid Mr. Reavis.

often be developed into exceaent pas
tures if cleared of brush, fertilized,
limed and then seeded .to adapted

which was called to the scene, could
control the blaze. The fire had
