Churches. The people of Pomaria are not enJ tirely materialistic. (The little town j ADAM L. AULL, Magistrate. has within her bounds two churches, I Lutheran and Methodist. The Lutheran church was organized and built several years ago, when Rev. J. J. Long served the Bethlehem pastorate. He was active in effecting the organization and in raising funds for its erection. And if it is not the first, the Pomaria church is among the first churches built by Rev. Long. While the membership at present is small, prospects for an enlarged membership are very bright. Rev. S. C. Ballentine is pastor. Thp Methodist church was built in Pomaria several years ago, while-the Rev. S. C. Morris was serving the Prosperity circuit. It is also proper to say that it was through his untiring efforts that the church was built. Its membership is also few in number, but it too hopes to grow as time advances. Rev. D. P.
