New members of the board of deacons elected were Messrs. K.C. Menzies, N.W. Clark, C.V. Garth, G.O. Yount, W.S. Taylor and R.L. Hefner.

The newly elected members will be ordained and installed as soon as their acceptances of the respective offices have been received and a special day set apart for that occasion. The the new members installed, each of the board will number 10 men, giving added strength to the working committees of the church.

At the morning services Judge Cline, on behalf of the board of deacons, made a report of what had been accomplished during the present ecclesiastical year, and showed that the members had gone ahead of what had been expected in some of the departments of the church. The congregation gave the board a vote of thanks for the services rendered.
