HOMECOMING SERMON HAS UNEXPECTED RESULTS. Pastor Salter delivered a splendid
sermon at the Methodist Homecoming on the text from Nehemiah that told of the
successful rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. He then told of the wretched
condition of the local church, its utter lack of room for Sunday School work
and that less than 80 hours were consumed annually for spiritual instruction.
The sermon was impressive and aroused such interest that after the meeting L.E.
Mallard, Wm. Mizell, Jr., H.J. Davis, Mrs. A.D. Williams and Mrs. Howard Davis
were appointed on a finance committee for renovation of the church.
