Mr.. and Mrs. George Buhl, w. B.

and Arthur Douglas Jr.
Saturday and Sunday as per pre-
vious announcement were the days of
the fifth Sunday meeting of the Shady
Baptist church and for the second
time this church has had the honor
and pleasure of entertaining a large
representatio of the Marion Associa-
tion. The services Saturday were
good and helpful. Prominent among
the speakers of the day were Rev. A.
NJ Marlborough of Hawthorn, Rev.
Gibbons of Melrose, Rev. R. Y. Wal
den of Pennington, Mr.. w. T. Gary
and Rev. Boatwright of Ocala ano
Rev. J. H. Martin of Island Grove.
Sunday morning large audience
listened to splendid talk on the sub
ject of the Sunday school lesson by
Prof. FL. G. Shealy. Other subjects
were discussed by Revs. Boatwright,
Plummer, Rogers, Hardester and
Walden. Rev. Walden preached the
morning sermon to an unusually large
audience. The building was crowded
and the crowd outside was even
larger. Rev. Walden, who is train
ed gospel singer, delighted the audi
ences both days by singing some of
his favorite songs. Sunday afternoon
a short session was called and some
subjects discussed briefly. Many Wis
itors, preachers and delegates left
Immediately after this service. The
| fact that the Belleview B. Y. P. U.
was to give program in the evening
and Rev. Boatwright to follow with
one of his excellent sermons held a
| large part of the crowd at the church.
| The Belleview Union arrived in due
time and their songs and the render
| ing of their program was splendid.
This is one of the best young peo-
| ples' unions in the association and
has some of the brightest, most earn
est workers. We know. May they
continue in their efforts and may their
tribe increase.
Just across and opposite from the
| Belleview visitors was that fine look
ing band from Anthony. We were
sorry we only had two eyes as we'd
liked to have been able to look at all
of these young people at the same
time. Rev. Boatwright brought An
thony over in his big school truck,
which truck we believe is the best in
the county and we ought to know for
we have seen two of the county school
trucks.
Another county truck was from
Sparr. When we tell you that in it
were A. ]. Stephens and about twen-
ty-five others even better looking than
he, you can draw on your own imag-
ination for the rest.
Electra was there Rev. Brant
piloted a band from over there. Lake
Weir was there. Mr.. Blair of the
Lake Weir church was ordained dea-
con for his church Sunday afternoon,
Rev. r. F. Rogers assisted by the
other ministers present performing
the service.
Other places represented at the
services Saturday and Sunday were
Summerfeld, Charter Oak, Oak and
several others. If all of the people
present were Baptists, then methinks
il was fine weather for this denomi
nation and we know Shady is much
helped and encouraged by the occas
ion as we hope all who attended from
distance were.
Perhaps next. week we can give yol
: some "echoes" from the fifth Sunday
, meeting.
