On Sunday, May 22, at 2:30 p.m. the Odd Fellows and H.H. of Ruth had their annual sermon at the A.M.E. Zion church. Mr. B.G. Corpenter was master of ceremonies. Two very interesting papers were read, one in behalf of H.H. Ruth by Mrs. Bessie Montgomery-Griffith, and Mr. Henry Sisk. Both were excellent.
The secretary, Mr. Albert Fowler, read the report, which was an exceptional one, commented on by Mr. S.R. Greenlee, past secretary.
The climax of the occasion was the sermon delivered by Dr. S.J. Wheeler Spurgeon. His text was I Samuel 20: 20 and 42. It was a sermon of thought, power and logic and full of the Holy Ghost. Dr. Spurgeon painted a vivid picture of friendship, love and truth, wafted the Odd Fellows and Ruthites almost to the portals of glory and sat down amidst shouts. The public opinion is that this sermon excelled all ever delivered to the Odd Fellows of Marion. The offering was $44.
Mr. F. Claude Spurgeon spent the week end in Marion with his auntie, Mrs. Malinda Carson, going home from Livingstone College.
Miss Hannah Ervin is home from Livingstone College, having finished the commercial department.
