EVERY MEMBER
CANVASS AT BAPTIST CHURCH

| of the Boone Baptist Church vii
be made next Sunday. This is nee
essary part of the church work. 1t
should not be an irksome task, as it
is the Lords business. No church
can run without giving attention to
it's church finances. Every member
is asked to make a pledge of what
you think you can pay in during
the year. The pledge should be a
weekly pledge. There should be an
increase in our pledges, if the church
is going to full time preaching.
These pledges are to be made for
the local expenses of the church,
and for the mission cause. Our mis-
sion objective for the year is $1,000.
The plan for making this canvass
is to receive all the pledges possible
at the church next Sunday then check
up on the cards, and go out Sunday
afternoon to see the others. Will you
not be at church next Sunday pre-
pared to make your pledge and thus
facilitate the work of the committee.
Why not pledge the tenth of your
income to the Lord and make an es-
innate, as near as you can, of what
that would be. There are some who
give the tenth. More should do it.
The Lord will bless you if you hon.
or Him with your substance"

Every member canvass Tor local
expenses of church and for Mission
objects.
B. Y. P. Us meet at p. m.
The series of meetings recently held
in the church seems to have resulted
in deep spiritual revival. The word
of God was proclaimed in great pow
er, and as result there were III
baptised Sunday night. There were
a number who came by letter. Among
these five were received by letter
Sunday before the meeting began.
There are other Baptists living in
town who ought to put their letters
in with us. The church would be glad
to welcome them and stands ready to
serve them, as well as all the others.
Blowing Rock Baptist
Our meeting is in progress at
Blowing Rock this week with Brother
Griggs doing the preaching. Please
pray for the meeting that the church
may be revived and souls saved.
