Throughout this month of June, we have been favored with inspiring sermons delivered by our minister, Rev. W.G. Hamilton, B.D., A.M. A summary of the sermons during the month of June is: “The Church for Today,” Matt. 16: 18; “Serving God With What We Have,” Ex. 4-2; “Perils of the Summer,” Acts 28:3; “The Grace of Forbearance,” Phil, 4:5. On Children’s Day morning a special sermon was preached to the children on “Giving Account to God,” Romans 14:12.
These sermons have been delivered to very large and appreciative audiences. We feel that every one has been in some respect benefitted by all of these wonderful sermons.
During the construction of our new church we are worshipping in the Y.M.I. auditorium. A very beautiful church is now under construction.
The fourth Sunday in June was observed as “Children’s Day.” On this particular occasion the children of the Sunday school rendered the best program that they have ever had in the history of this organization. The little ones were trained by two of the Sunday school teachers, Mrs. W. G. Hamilton, wife of our minister, and Mrs. M. Meredith. The young girls who assisted Mrs. Hamilton in training the children were: Misses Elizabeth Murray, Irene McCorkle, Ovella Brown, Milly Mary Hunter and Norma Michael. Little Miss Mary Lipscomb played the Children’s Day music.
We raised the sum of $11.01 for offering. The one having the highest amounts were to receive a prize, a beautiful Bible. Little Dorothy Taylor received the Bible and little Ruth Gibson a Testament. We are proud of these little girls.
We were delighted to have with us on last Sunday morning Miss Jones of Indianapolis, Indiana. Miss Jones is in the city to give vocal recitals.
The sudden deaths of Mrs. Davis and Miss Gertrude Blair were shocks not only to the members of the church but to the community.
Mrs. Gussie Wright has returned to the city after a visit to Florida.
Miss Irene McCorkle will represent the Christian Endeavor Society at the School of Methods which will be held in Anniston, Ala., during the early part of August.
Last week we had in our midst Dr. Franklin of Swift Memorial College, Rogersville, Tenn., Rev. Eddington, also of Rogersville, and Rev. Ewing of Rose Hill, Va. These men are all outstanding members of the Presbytery.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Williams and family have returned home after an extended motor trip to Northern States. They attended the Exposition in Philadelphia.
Misses B.M. Wright and E.L. Murray motored with Rev. Hamilton and Mr. C. Jason to Spartanburg. While there they were guests of Mrs. M.H. Wright, 400 Liberty St.
