but send their printing job wort

Frank McCormiek was re-elected
president for another year.
This young man is a great church
worker, a lover of humanity anc'
a leader for his people. If tlu

The only criticism we have to
offer is the Baptist pastors, of

Baptist pastor was there, not ev

Services were beautifully carried
out, beginning with the Sun
day school h'our. After reassembling
of the classes, Miss Anna
B. Lewis, mil' of Old' falihiul teachers
was selected by the delegation
who attended the State Lea

the report to the Sunday school
of some of the faoings at the con
-vcntrcm, Whfctl /she did in a. Very
fine style. :
We were delighted to see the
many visitors in the morning ser
vice. The pastor selected St. John
14th chapter for the morning's
message. There was no, night service
because of the inclemency of
the weather.
Mrs. Ella Sightler. one of the
faithful members of this church
has passed into the eternal cit.v
of rest. Her beautiful life ha?
touch the lives of many, and
most especially those who canu

was indeed a useful woman >?
the church and the community
Too much cannot be said of her
because she shall live on in tin
lives and hearts of those she
gave her best thoughts during
their formative period.
She was funeralized last Friday
at 4 p.m. at the church. The pastor
delivered the eulogy which
was very consoling to the bereaved
family and friends.
Both choirs are serving very
nicely and need all of the commondationa
that can, be given.
Come to Bethel, friends and vis
