days, and costing very little, Ska
git Tours is the greatest in Anne
rica-an unforgettable experience
packed with scenic thrills, enchant-
ing boat and train trips, famous
meals and unique entertainment.

made this marvellous tour.
The Skagit Tours will be con-

the first two weeks in September.
Schedule includes Saturday-Sunday

creasingly popular as an incom-
parably interesting and enjoyable
experience, not only for residents
of Seattle and the state, but for
out-of-state visitors who invariab-
ly proclaim it as the grandest in
their travels.

who must work their way. 1900
acres of land, 300 in cultivation;
seven large brick buildings all con-
structed by student boys. They also

dry anw waterworks. The Cotton
Blossom singers have many en-
gagements to fill throughout the

Minister'S Rise
Is Amazing

The Rev. Judson Swancy, pas
tor of the First Baptist church,
Kennydale, Wash, during his few
months as pastor, has placed his
little edifice and its flock in a con-
spicuous and challenging position,
the biggest Little Church in the
State of Washington.
Rev. Swancy's rise in the mini
sterial world is equalled only by
the growing prominence of the
Little Church by the Road. Today
he is member of the Ministers
Council of the Northern Baptist
Convention, member of the
Washington State Baptist Conven-
ton of the State of Washington,
of which the Rev. Emmett B.
Reed, pastor of Calvary Baptist
church, Spokane, Wash, is Moder-
ator and the Rev. DR.. ShanlSs is
secretary and is assistant pastor
to Rev. Fountain w. Penick pas
tor of Mt. Zion Baptist church,
Seattle.
The growing popularity of the
minister and church was indicat-
ed by the hundreds who came to
the feast in the wilderness in one
of the largest outdoor gatherings
of the season. All creeds and colors
We'd with each other in doing their
bit for God and church. And the
church was tidied inside and many
Improvements made that will al
ways remind one of that Feast
day.
Withal, the little church by the
road was incomplete. Something
was lacking. 1t needed a coating of
paint. But who, when and how?
AS it ever was, woman found a
way. First at the Cross, first at
the Tomb, always at work for the
Master, women volunteers soon de-
creed the little church by the road
must be finished. Suiting their &C.
ton to the word, Miss Birdie Nor
ris, Mrs. Jennie Vrooman, Mrs.
Zelmar Smith, Mrs. Marion Bor-
ders recruited force and left
completely newly painted and re-
modelled pearl set in Gods Graces.
Those who joined the quartette
in their mission of Good Will to
the pastor and the little church
were, Mrs. Lucy Morris, Mr.. w.
e. Vrooman, Messrs. Alvin Lewis,
Ben-....... Dave Lee, Sherman
Spates, George Walker, the J. M.
Glass Lumber Co., The Renton
Lumber Co.
The pastor, Rev. Judson Swan
cy and the members of the First
Baptist Church, Kennydale, Wash.
through the columns of the North
west Enterprise, express their sim
cere thanks for the kindly and
generous response in their hour of
need.
