Charles Maynard Simmons Wins Second Prize for Church Essay, Dec. 20, 1923

Why Should We Go to Church on Sunday?

Second Prize

By Charles Maynard Simmons

Going to church teaches us real devotion to Christ, and helps us to come in touch with His Holy Spirit.

Make a rule to go to Church and abide by it. Go to church, first to worship God, to hear Him speak to you, to talk to Him in prayer, and praise Him in Church songs.

“The Church’s one foundation

Is Jesus Christ her Lord.

With His own blood He bought her

And for her life He died.”

From page 2 of The Goldsboro News, Dec. 20, 1923. The judges for the contest were Rev. C.V. Brooks and Rev. P. McIntyre.
