Sunday evening marked the close of the two-day District Rally which was held in the new methodist Protestant Church in Asheboro. This district is composed of Asheboro, Richland, Uwharrie, Davidson, Denton and Why Not. About 20 delegates were present and took part in the conference.
The conference opened Saturday morning with a business session and talks by various ministers present. Mr. L.F. Ross of this place was chairman and presided at the meetings.
In the afternoon Rev. Lawrence C. little, Field secretary of Young People’s Work, spoke in a most interesting manner on the Sunday School. This was followed by a talk by Dr. A.G. Dixon, President of the Methodist Protestant Conference.
Rev. N.M. Harrison led an open conference.
Saturday evening Dr. R.M. Andrews addressed the conference in an able and instructive manner.
Sunday morning Rev. Dixon preached at the 11 o’clock hour. An unusually large congregation was present to hear Dr. Dixon and to celebrate the opening of the new auditorium, which was used on this occasion for the first time since it was completed. The painting has not been finished yet, however. In the afternoon at 2 o’clock, Dr. Dixon spoke on “Stewardship,” followed by an open conference by Rev. L.C. Little.
Sunday evening a union day Christian Endeavor meeting was held and Dr. Little gave a most excellent talk to the young people. At the church hour Dr. Little preached.
It is impossible to praise the talks, addresses and sermons which were delivered during these two days too highly, for each was an inspiration to all present. At each service, special music was rendered.
