mated by folks interested in the
cemetery and the church. II the
first proposition should be accepted
the preachers salary would have to-
be raised by the folks of the COM
munity, and there are not as many
folks around about there as when
the church was closed, and we pre-
sumo that the preacher who would
be sent would not be one who de-
clined one of the large churches, 70
come here-and then If Emery
should be built up those comprising
the organization would in a large
measure, come from other church,
es surrounding. 1t seems the only
solution is for those interested to
buy and repair the building and
maintain it as funeral chapel and
community building. If you are in
terested, don't wait for someone to
solicit you-make yourself one Of
the workers. II you know of any
one away from here who should be-
interested, write them-or give
their name to VIM. Fowler, Chris
|Stegner or Carl Dewitt, all McCon-
nelsvilIe Rt. Q. Do it quick.

Vesper Service u
Some folks like the writer follow
ing the reading Of the program in
the county papers, inquired of Mr..
Webster what "Vesper'' meant
then went to see if he knew what it
really was. We found it was that
and more. We were told that Rev.
Frank Donaldson Of Beverly was to-
have charge. We found the young
folks had their parts SO well and
knew their places in the program so
that they went through it without
being called This was followed by
a short, but wonderful address by
Rev Donaldson. Then closing pray
er. Many of our. readers will re-
mem ber when Mr.. Donaldson was 4
patti It at Rocky GLENN 1928.

while there the physician informed

known him at that time. and since,

ier. 1t was a fine meeting, says the
Meigs scribe.
