There will be the annual homecoming day at Fork Church on the second Sunday in August, beginning at 9:45 with a song service led by Prof. Yokley. Four choirs will sing together a few old-time songs that will carry us back to the good old days. They will sing some new ones also, after which the Welcome Quartette will sing “No Disappointment in Heaven,” perhaps the greatest song ever written. The Reeds choir will sing a number of wide awake songs and quartettes, Rich Fork will sing a number of real good live new songs. The Erlanger quartette will sing a number of songs. Fishel quartette of Winston-Salem will also sing for us.
Dinner will be on the grounds in the old-time Fork way, everybody is invited to come and bring a basket.
After dinner there will be a number of real live wire speakers who will speak and after which we will have more singing. Dr. M.L. Kesler, manager of our Baptist orphanage will speak on a very important subject it will pay you to hear him, this will by no means be a grave yard meeting but it will be a real old-time fellowship get-together meeting. Shake hands and have a good day together. Everybody come, leave your troubles at home with the dog. Follow the crowd and meet me at Fork with a well-filled basket and a big smile. Yours for a good day and to serve in any way, William Loman Barrs, Pastor.
