gram for the 150th anniversary of

ginning at eleven o’clock:
Hymn 184.
Invocation.

This is only suggested, and there
may be need of making several
changes when the day arrives as
we do not yet know how many for
mer pastors will be with us.
We are very much in hope that
all of the former pastors living can
be with us. We give here a list
of them that we know, but will not
attempt to name them In the
order in which they served:
Revs. White, Sexton, Freeman,
Cannada, Kugley, Warren, Gard
ner, Hodgens, Bobo. There may
be others living that I know not of.
These all have served nobly and
endeared themselves to our people.
We are very much in hope that
many of our former members will
join with us in this special service
who live at a distance from us as
weB as our neighbors.
O. L. ORR,
Pastor.

ryn Hughey, who is so gentle in
spirit, so patient in her affliction,
and ever faithful to the Missionary
Society. Though she has not
attended a meeting in years she
keeps up her dues and interest in
the work. A month ago it was
decided to make the bag. Mrs.
Carrie Talbert, who still loves her
old home community, offered to
donate the bag. It is a beauty
with directions for using attached,
stating Dr. Love had made out the
prescription for two gifts a day.
Other than the individual gifts the

table. The attendance was 12 with
three visitors. Delicious refresh
