MeGlothlin, who have come from Frankfort, Ky, to reside in Anniston.

The receiving line included Dr. and Mrs McGloth- lin, the deaeons and their wives and a reception committee assisted in re- ceiving the guests.

Davis, Jr., and Mrs Ben jamin Spearman. who are daughters of the two senior deacons of Parker , Memorial church. MT. W. A. Davis, Sr.. and Capt. A. W. Bell, who have served faithfully and lcng In this ca pacity. An ice course with tea and coffee was served to a large number of guests who were eager to extend the hand of fellowship to the new pastor and have a word of greeting with the large congregation which he and his estimable wife have come to serve.
