fist church of Wilson, and who was
for ten years pastor here until 1888
His sermon was based on the ques-
ton of Solomon at the time of the
dedication of the temple, will COD
in reality dwell among men," He an
swered the question, He certainly
will" and launched into a discussion
of these great souls" who went be-
fore to make this church possible. He
pointed to the mission of the church
and called the names of many who
had been close to him during his pas
torate here and who had large part in
the building of the church.
Rev. S. l.. Morgan, pastor at the
time the building was actually begun
in 1916, led in the prayer at the
morning service, and he preached the
sermon in the evening. He, too,
brought in the names of many of the
members in other years, many now
dead, who were instrumental in build
ing the church. He read freely from
his diary of the days of his ministry
here to recall high spots in the pro-
ccdure of building the church. The
building was erected and the Sunday
school rooms occupied during his min
istry, which was for ten years, end
ing in 1922.
He was heard by a large congrega-
lion in the evening, despite the incle-
nlent weather, and the large turnout
was characterized by some as in
large measure personal tribute to
the former pastor
A planned resume of the of the his
cory of the church was omitted by
the pastor, Rev. A. S. Hale, who had
planned to read this, but said he
would leave it off because so much
of it had been published or had been
given by speakers at the morning
and evening services.
The offertory anthem at the night
service by the junior choir was "The
Lamp in the West"
Anthems used durin. The night SER
vice were, Day Is Dying in the
West" Savior, Blessed Savior" and
THE Lord Be With Us"
Flowers furnished for the DAVIS
services were furnished by Mrs. w.

Mrs. Payne A S k S
Public To Cooper
ate in Providing for
Needy Children

Boy Scouts of Henderson will help
in repairing and conditioning of toys
to be given to underprivileged chill
dren in the city at Christmas, it was
announced today by Mrs. w. D.
Payne, director of the Vance County
Recreational Project, which with the
Scout organization, will sponsor the
gathering of toys.
Mrs. Payne said the Scouts would
be at the old science building at the
Junior high school from 3 to o'clock
every afternoon next week, and all
persons having old toys they will be
willing to give for the cause are ask
ed to bring them to that place dur
ing the hours mentioned.
Mrs. Payne also said that any one
having toys they would give is asked
to call her at phone 340-J at any time
Wednesday of this week, and the TOYS
VIII be sent for.
1t was pointed out that throughout
the city there are great quantities of
toys that have outgrown their useful
ness in lie homes where they now are,
and that if all of these could be col
lected the supply would probably be
many times the requirements to take
care of the unfortunate children of
the city.
Mrs. Payne feels that the situation
can be very easily met if the public
will cooperate, and she pleaded that
all parents who have toys which have
been outgrown by their children give
their assistance in the undertaking
to provide for the needy children

viewed the steps leading up to the
construction of the new edifice and
called the names of many leareds in
that movement, including many who

ceremony of burning the mortgage
came next. j. R. league, chairman of
the board of deacons, spoke briefly
at this time and then drew from his
pocket the cancelled mortgage, which
originally was $3OOOO Mrs j. L. H

of the church, who is semi-invalid
and spends her time in Maria Far

She sat in a wheel chair at the front
of the church, and was rolled to the
pulpit stand and held the mortgage

the assignment of numbers to every
individual for whom a card had been
made, and this must be done before

Several days will be required to
complete the data here before it is
forwarded. The services of several
stenographers will be needed, and the
work is expected to get under way
tomorrow.
In examining records that have
been returned, the postmaster said
there were many irregularities and
some inaccuracies. In one instance
there was difference of ten years in
the birthday of one applicant and
the age as given at. the last birthday
it was stated.
