Presiding Elder Corkran and Pastor
Layfeld rode down to Friendship
church on Sunday morning, to hold
services, as per announcement, and
found an audience of two men besides
the sexton. A shower coming up about |
church time made the people think the |
preachers would not be there. They |
were however, and knew the people of
Thoroughfare Neck were not. Until
the previous Sunday the weather in
one way or another had prevented any
services at the church for five weeks.
