HUNDREDS AT TOOTH
CHURCH anniversary

At least 500 persons attended the
centennial Homecoming of the Dunk
ards of Nettle Greek church Tuesday
The church is located about one mile
west of Hagerstown.
Elder Lewis w Teeter, member of
the church since Jan. 6, 1868 and old
est minister by II years, presided at
the meeting. He has been elder of
the church for 35 years People from
many points in Indiana and other
states attended. California was rep
resented.
1nclement weather proved to be a
spur rather than a drawback to the
crowd. Many of the congregation are
ia rmers, and the rain prevented pos
sible work in the fields. 1t was one
of the best and largest attended meet
ings that probably has ever been held
at the church.
Sentiment expressed by the speak
ers, which included l.. w. Teeter, d.
E. Bowman, John A Miller and 9TH
ers, was that the success of the Nettle
Creek church, which is the largest
Dunkard church in Indiana. is due to
their persistent stand by the funda-
mental principles of the New Testa-
ment, Bertha Dilling is pastor of the
church.
