PROGRESSIVE WORK OF
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Two Years Passionate at the
H~endersOnVilIe Church.

The following contribution by Rev.
A. L. Stanford Stanford, who has just
closed his con years pastorate
over the Hendersonville Methodist
church, to the North Carolina Chris
tian Advocate will doubtless be of in
terest to a number of Hendersonville
people who are interested in the pro-
gress of religious work in this city:
las we are now closing our second
years pastorate at Hendersonville,
perhaps a few lines would be of in
terest to ome This town has the
distinction of being one of the most
beautiful places in all this great Wes-
tern North Carolina. The town is
steadily growing and, will some day in
the not far distant future be one of our
very best little cities. The spiritual
interests of the church have not been
tagging. We have been trying to
make the church keep pace with the
material progress. This has been a
busy year with me. In addition to our
own people we have thousands of peo-
pie who spend either a part or all the
summer here. Many of them. attend
church and expect and appreciate pas
tcral oversight so this greatly in
CT eases the duties and responsibilities
of the pastor. 1t is a pleasure to
preach to such crowds OF the most
spiritual and cultured from many OF
churches throughout our Meth
cdism.
"As to our own home proper / a

choicest and best. This is a splendid

who attended the Bigby boy The
revelation of the inhuman conditions
in which Bigby died brought the peo-
