ROANOKE, VA, May 27-The
services at Mt. Zion A. M. e. Church
last Sunday were excellent. Rev.
Howerton's text for the morning,
was II Samuel 1925. The subject
was, Running Without A Message.
1t was great message full of pres
emit day applications. The offerings
Sunday amounted to )$99.52. Rev.
Howerton is DESTROYS that the mem
bership 1.-THE as he has been doing
systematically for seven years. The
men who 1.-THE will discover a bless
ing whenever they do so in the pro-
per spirit. This is also the candid
belief and convictions of. the Board
of Trustees. The notes on bonded
l, debt have been paid during the past
years out of the tithers' donations
one-tenth of their earnings and we
| are no worse off than others who
fail to 1.-THE. 1t is the hope of those
interested in the welfare OF the
church that at least two-dfths OF the
entire membership may join the tith-
| ing band. Those who cannot do so
conscientiously, trusting the Lord as
related in Malachi $40, make your
Duplex contributions little larger.
This is the urgent request of the
Trustees of Mt. Zion A. M. e. Church
at Roanoke.
