Rev. Jas. Vernon Roberts
The above is a likeness of Rev. J.V. Roberts, newly chosen pastor of the local Wesleyan Methodist church. Mr. Robers is originally from Roanoke, Va., but for the past two years has been pastor of a large church in Winston-Salem. He and his young bride of three months come to Forest City highly recommended. Mr. Roberts is a graduate of God’s Bible School of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Wesleyan congregation accorded these good folks a hearty reception at the Sunday services. They are now situated in a cozy little bungalow on Broadway.
