COUNTY B.Y.P.U. HOLD
MEETING IN DAWSON
INTERESTING AND HELPFUL
PROGRAM FEATURED AS
SEMBLAGE AT CHURCH

One OF the most delightful occa-
sions of recent date was the meeting
of all the B. Y. P. US. of Terrell
county~at the Dawson Baptist church
Sunday evening. A splendid program
was rendered, each union having one
or more representatives on the pro-,
gram. All the talks were short and
to the point and were very interesting.
The special music rendered by the
Misses Jennings, of Sasser, and Miss
Catherine Wilkinson, of Dawson. was
enjoyed by all.
Mr.. Brown, of Richland, president
of the B. Y. P. U. convention of the
Summerhill Association, was present
and made a most impressive address.
Rev. R. B. James was also present
and extended an invitation to all
to attend the all-day rallies to be
held this week at Sasser and Sardis,
of which churches he is the pastor.
Miss Lucy Garner, president of the
senior union of the Dawson church,
opened the meeting by introducing
Mrs. Charlie Kaufman, OF Sardls, who
is the vice president of the Terrell dis
trict of the Summerhill Association,
and she presided over the remaining
part of the meeting.
Following the B. Y. P. U. part of
the program Rev ]. Fred Eden, jr.,
made a string appeal to all to take
an active part in the training school
which is in session at the Dawson
church this week.
The program OF the evening was
concluded by nine OF the college boys
and girls OF the Dawson rendering
the campaign acrostic. Each Of these
nine young people made most lmpr.es-
sive talks on the IS million campaign
following which all the people joined
in signing special campaign song.
A committee was appointed one
from each union, to arrange for a pic
mic for all the unions OF Terrell coun-
ty which. will be held the last week
in Tulv. q

NEXT SUNDAY AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
SUBJECTS OF PASTORS SER
MONS ANNOUNCED. MUSIC
WILL BE A FEATURE.

On last Sunday morning the Daw-
son Baptist church changed the time
OF meeting of the Sunday school from
$50 to 10 O'Clock. This plan had been
tried for several Sundays, but it was
not definitely decided upon until Sun
day morning last 1t was also voted
that there would be only five min
utes intermission between Sunday
school and church services. The pas
tor is to begin the regular II O'Clock
service at that hour promptly, and
during the summer months the SER
vices will continue only 45 minutes.
Next Sunday morning Pastor Lowe
will preach on the subject: The Com
mon Ties OF the Redeemed OF God.
At the evening service the subject
will be Some By-Products of Sin. "
A special feature of the services next
Sunday morning and evening will be
special music by Mr. Knight, leader
of the local band, Dr. w. H. Gard
Her and Mr. w. R. Melton. These
three gentlemen are very efficient with
the instruments they play, as all
know, and will render valuable assist
ance in the song services.
