Sunday School
Revival At The
Baptist Church
The week of April 16-23 will be
set apart by the local Baptists as a
week of study and enlargement in
Sunday School work. Mr. J. L.
Corzine and Miss Elizabeth Nuckols
of Columbia will be with us. Be
ginning with the Sunday morning
hour, at which Brother Corzine will
speak, there will be services and
study classes throughout the week,
the campaign coming to a close the
following Sunday. We hope that
not only the teachers and assistant
teachers, but those that will plan
to teach in any department in the
future or serve as department sec
retaries, pianists, helpers, etc., will
take part in the study in that de
partment.
But our aim will not be achieved
unless we enlist our whole church
in the campaign. Mr. Corzine’s
lectures every evening following the
study classes will be a pleasure and
a benefit to all who will hear him.
We wish our friends of all
churches to know that they are
more than welcome. Come and
work with us.

We were glad to find Mrs. Sudie

her usual sweet jolly self. She
bears her afflictions as becometh a
child of God.
Our little blind friend, Miss Car

compose beautiful letters to her
friends, and her little cousins are
glad to write for her. She is still
very weak but attributes her being
spared to the prayers of herself and
her friends. How lovingly and
tender our Savior must look down
upon such a trusting child.
On April the first a little son ar

Made Before April 36
Approximately $100,000.00 in
Federal crop production loans have
been sought by about one thousand
McCormick County farmers, it has
been learned from the Field Sup
ervisor's office. Those who have
not done so and intend to make ap
plication. for loans should do so at
once as all applications for loans
must be presented at the Washing
ton Regional Office not later than
April 30, 1933.
Checks are being received daily
by the Field Supervisor and they
are being mailed out to borrowers
as soon as the mortgages are
checked and recorded at the office
of the Clerk of Court. J. L. Cal-^- ^
houn, Field Supervisor, advises that
it is not necessary for the farmers
to come to his office for the checks
as they are being mailed out at thd
earliest possible moment.
The loan office in the People®
Bank Building has been besieged
for the past several weeks by
crowds of farmers applying for
loans and a large office force has
been kept busy by demands made
upon them.

about one fourth of this number
can be accepted and in order to
avoid further disappointment
among those who apply and quali

C. M. T. C. enrollment be discon
tinued in your county. It is re
gretted that all the young men de
siring this training cannot be ac

Young men return to their homes

appreciated.
