A Oay at New Bethel Church.

Last Sunday was a beautiful day, and
as the custom is for us to attend church
service every Sabbath our inclinatiOns
were to drive to New Bethel Baptist
church (EpsOm) where the Warren Sun
day-schoOl Union was then in session.
We arrived at church at 10 a. m, found
a very large crowd of people and they
continued to come in large numbers. un-
til after / o'clock Then the church and
grove were crowded with people. At
10 O'Clock Hon. W. B. Daniel (Superin-
tendent of New Bethel Sunday schOoD :,
called the Sunday school to order. There
being so large crowd it was decided
best to dispense with the regular order
OF the Sunday-school and use the time
in talks from Sunday school workers.
Four or five talks and many beautiful
songs consumed the hour. Then a little
past 1 l O'Clock we had IL splendid ser
mon by Rev. T. 5. Crutchfield, of Roa-
noke Rapids His subject was Awake.
We hope to see and hear Brother Crutch-
field again. He preached with so much
power and plainness. After the sermon
recess was announced (hour and u half
for dinner). Surely those good people
around Epson expected every body to
come, and looking at the general crowd
would say they are all here. Now |
thought where will all this multitude
get food. But after all had received a
sufficiency, the large quantity remained
not eaten, was stored back in boxes and
baskets which reminded us of the miracle
when Christ fed the 5000. When the
afternoon session. was closed we turned
homeward The beautiful New Bethel
Church, it's pastor (Rev. J. w. Downey)
and all her people will always have the
best wishes of you friend,
