J. O. Livesay and Judge F. B.

The rtsad is what is now known as the Laynesport-Haw road, and runs from Foreman in southeasterly di- rection.

We are to have a series eff meetings
 in our church which will begin March
 first, Thursday night before the first
 Sunday We kin-ly invite the public
 to attend these meetings as we be- lieve you will both enjoy them and | will be benefited. While we invite the public, we expect the members of the
 church tcl busy themselves about the
 jest interests of the church, and to do
 all they can in all the ways they can
 to bring all he people they can out to these services.
 Usefulness is a most beautiful trait of Christian character. He who can use himself most for the church is most like Christ.
 He who demands his rights un- yieldingly is sure to have hard time with his neighbOrs. Do not err in
 this and learn to give up as we'll as
 to take up.
 Be kind and fcrgiving, Faithful to yourself, faithful to the church, faith ful to God. The quintessence of the Christian religion is serving the needs
 of humanity. Join the F. F. Club, for give and forget.
 Let the whcle church fall into line | and each of us hold hands with. the other and set our hearts (for we be- lieve in, and contend for, heartfelt | religion) on a great meeting Let's | have strcng pull along the line. J. H. McWhirter, Minister.
