Beginning next Monday night at 7
O'Clock there will be held training
school for all the Baptist churches OF
Terrell county, which are in the
Summerhill Association. There will
be a study course for the Baptist
Young Peoples Unions. We are for
tunate to have Rev. Henry Melton, an
old Dawson and Terrell county boy,
lead in this course. Some years ago
Mr.. Melton taught a class at the local
church in the B. Y. P. I. manual,
and he is remembered most pleasant
" for his remarkable work with these
young people All the unions OF the
Baptist churches OF the county are in
vited to this course, and indications
are that large number will take adj
vantage OF the opportunity.
Miss Rhodes, one OF the field work
ers of the w. NJ. U. OF Georgia, will
teach class in the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society work. Miss Rhodes is
one OF the best trained workers
among Georgia Baptists, and the wo-
men of the various societies of the
Baptist churches of Terrell county
have a great opportunity in the class
she will teach.
There will also be a class in Sum
day school work under the leadership
OF one OF the trained workers. The
name of hits worker is not yet ready
to be announced, since there are two
who can be present, either one OF
whom will make an excellent leader.
Rev. J. Fred Eden, jr., will lecture
to as many men OF the churches who
come to\khe meeting on the subject
OF the Mans Place in Developing
the Local Church" Mr.. Eden has
probably visited more local Baptist
churches and studied more Baptist
work than any other minister in the
state. He is keen observer and IS
very discriminating in his judgment,
all of which have prepared him to be
an efficient leader in a class of this
nature.
The plan is to begin the first study
course at ! O'Clock each evening, and
hold for As minutes Then a recess
will be given and the ladies OF the
church will serve light lunch during
this rest period. Then, the various
classes will hold As minutes again.
