Rev. V. E. Patterson, of Ironton,
preached Saturday night and two
Sunday services at tho Missionary
Baptist Church. Rev. Patterson is an
able minister and his sermons were
greatly appreciated by the congrega-

each service. On Sunday afternoon
he performed the baptismal ceremony
upon twenty three candidates, who
were received into the Baptist Church.
At a meeting of the membership of
the Baptist Church Saturday night it
was decided to hold services two Sun
days in each month. A pastor has not
been called, but it is understood that
an effort will be made to secure Rev.
