day school made the largest en-.
rollment Of the year. The Yves.
ley Adult Bible class room was
well-filled with an interested
company Of men.
There was no eleven O'Clock
sermon, but instead the pastor,
Rev. G. E. Kirby, first read the
general rules of the church, then
baptized twenty persons, all
kneeling around the altar. These
twenty, together with five 9th
ers who had been baptized in
infancy, were then received into
the church. Seven others pre-
sented their certificates of mem
bership and were received with
the class entering by vows.
At the conclusion of these ser

supper was observed. 1t is said
that this was the most largely
attended sacramental service in
the history Of Pickens Method
ism, ninety-seyen persons hay
ing partaken Of the elements. !"
This church uses the individual
communion service and it was
an easy matter TO know how
many members attended the ta-
BILE by the number Of used
glasses. There was a large con
gregation present and the day
was a happy one from every
viewpoint.
Next Sunday, July 6, Mr..
Kirby will be at High Point, N.

q splendid church he founded
and built and which has been
enlarged since his leaving there.

sires to accept it.
On this trip he expects to visit
two former pastorates in the
mountains of Western North
Carolina-one around Asheville,
the other at Murphy. Mrs. Kir-
by and children will accompany
Mr.. Kirby.
Inasmuch as there will be
preaching at the Presbyterian

and at the Baptist church the
third Sunday, there will be no
preaching at Methodist church
these two Sundays, but the pas
tor expects to have his pulpit
filled the second Sunday by a
friend from another place.
