Southern Baptist Sunday schools are seeking to enroll ten. million by 1970. In order to achieve this goal, we must have an enrolment gain of ap proximately 30% in the next five years. We are challenged to have an en rolment of one million in North Carolina by 1970. Outreach must priority. have We are asking each Sunday school in our association to accept acnet enrolment increase goal-of 83°C for 1966-46) for 1967, Tar IYO%, 6 for 1969, and 7‘: for 1970. We will grow great Sunday schools as we show com Passionate concern for the unreached. Evangelism, stewardship, missions, discipleship-—all must wait upon outreach. These enrolment gains can be realized by organizing new Sunday schools (a new Sunday school will] average gaining 380 new members) > the. organizing of Extension Bible Classes (each will vain 10): the Starting of new Adult classes (each wil] vain e«6); the activating of Extension, Cradle Roll, and Young People Away departments (each will gain 6); and enrolling Vaeatin: Bible School pupils not in Sunday school. If we follow the simple gtowth formula advocated: many years apo } Dr. Arthur Flake—-locate the prospects, enlarge the organization, provide needed space, enlist and train workers, and visit the people---we will reach more people for Bible study; our baptisms will increase; Christian steward ship will become a reality; and our churches will be strengthened The Southern Baptist Correlated Emphasis for. 1965-66 js “A Church Fulfilling Its Mission Through Proclamation and Witness.” The Sunday Schools will be emphasizing three of its basic tasks: “Reaching all prospect for the church,” “Teaching the biblical revelation,” and, “Leading all church members to witness daily.” Important projects designed to help achieve these tasks include, “The Adult Thrust, Year 2”: an alternate series of Sunday school lessions for Adults and Young People entitled “Bearing Our Witne for Christ” (available for use Jan.-March, 1966): and the correlated pro gram “Every Christian A Witness -NOW!” Associational plans and projects for helping our churches ac hieve their Sunday school tasks will include: Director-led Sunday schoo!

Respectfully submitted, CECIL K, HERRIN REPORT OF WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION, SOUTH YADKIN ASSOCIATION The Mission of a church in today’s world is great and den first. concern of your W.M.U,, as of all church organizations church do its work. “Every Baptist church will find that its t a missionary church will be accomplished much more readily if it supports and utilizes its W.M.U.” Woman's Missionary Union specializes in teaching missions. Wher W.M.U. does an effective job of teaching missions, church members grow in their knowledge of the world and ‘God's plan for it. The church members ar kept aware that they have responsibility not only for the people in thei community, but also for people of the whole world, W M.U. recognizes that study about missions should lead people to be missionary. W.M.U. leads persons to participate in missions through praying, giving, and serving Woman's Missionary Union has traditionally provided organization and leadership for two types of projects: the weeks of prayet and special am sion offerings. These weeks of prayer and special offerings are high light in the life of the church. Any time thé church undertakes other missior projects W.M.U. stands ready to provide organization and leadership. Our South Yadkin Association has 84 churches with W.M.U. organiza lions. We rejoice that its work has been, reactivated: in the Yadkin Church and cestablished in the Bastside Church. We regret that there are stil a few churches in which there is no W.M.U. work. We appeal to the pastors and women of these churches to pray earnestly and continuously about this matter. The Associational W.M.U. officers stand ready to assist in this great work, Feel free to call upon us at any time During the past year, our GA's had a successful’ Round the World” party. Miss Dare Teague, GA Director Is enthusiastic about the success of GA Camp last July. Mrs. L. M. Flowers has led the YWA’s in a challenging program. Their banquet, planned and carried out by the girls themselves,® Was a time of fellowship and inspiration, Until she left the Associatior Mrs. Del Suges capably directed the Sunbeam work, Our Annual Meeting was held at Blaise Church last May with Mi Kathryn Bullard, from the state office, and Mrs. Archie Jones, from Ecua dor, as our speakers. Our Annual Leadership Clinic was held ‘at: First Church, Stat@ville in September.. Ten associational officers attended the Statewide Workshop ati Fruitland in ofder to prepare themselves to lead W.M.U. work for this year. ; $ = SOUTH YADKIN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The continuing task of W.M.U. in a church is to teach missions and to- engage members in participation in missions at home and abroad. Laboring together with others and with God, the.members of a church grow in spirit ual discernment, serving Christ Joyously,. “that the world may know Him” Respectfully submitted, FLORENCE B. RENEGAR, President (Mrs. Dallas Renegar) REPORT ON BAPTIST HOSPITAL . More than 35,000 sick people were seen in the clinics of our Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem last year, and more than 19,000 were hos pitalized for bed care. These'sick people came from all sections of our state. wut of all kinds of financial circumstances, and with almost every type of serious disease and sickness known to man. Most of them were sent by their local doctors, because they had problems which were difficult of diagnosis or treatment, and needed specialized facilities and skill#%uch as those found at our Baptist Hospital, In addition to the sick people who were served, there were more than 700 persons in training in the various fields of medical care and Christian service. These students were studying in ten different schools, and in other fields of training in our Medical Center, and will go out to serve ns phy siclans, nurses, technicians, pastors and- other Christian workers, in our communities and churches throughout North Carolina and on our mission fields around the world. These schools offer excellent opportunities, and they are interested in qualified Baptist young people who wish to invest their lives in useful service to their fellow man and in the Kingdom of God. The ministry of our hospital to people who are seriously ill and in meay er circumstances lies at the very heart of its total work. All of our Mother's Day offerings are used for this purpose: when the doctors have given their skilled services without charge to these patients, and the money available from all other sources is added, every dollar we give is multiplied nine time over in free service to those who need help. It is a high privilege for us in our churches to minister in the name of the Great Physician, through our hospital, to these multitudes who are sick It will be a welcome voice when the King shall come in His glory and we can hear Him say: “Come, ye blessed of my Father; for I was sick, and ye Visited me.” FRED BARNES SOUTH_Y ADKIN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION COLLEGE ENROLLMENT (Fall Semester, 1964) Campbell College 2018 Chowan College ‘s 1,155 Gardner-Webb College j 944 Mars Hill College : ols 1,368 Meredith College ey y 930 Wake Forest College : 2,920 Wingate College 1,320 10,655 During the past year the contribution of Baptist Colleges to Christian lay-leadership in church and community has been strongly emphasized, Our seven Baptist colleges, to date, have graduated more than 45,000 men and women. Many of these graduates are not only filling responsible places of lead- ership in their churches, but are exerting a profound influence on religious, moral, and ethical life of communities in which they live. All during the past vear testimonies have continued to come in from tenchers, doctors, lawyer industrialists, artists, musicians, homemakers, and many other cateyort too numerous to name. All of these testimonies assert two things: attending a Christian college gives a closer tie to the local church, and a greater sense of responsibility for Christian citizenship in the local community. Each Sunday from campuses all over the state, faculty members, ad- ministrative officers, and students move out into the churches to preach and assist the churches as supply pastors, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders and special speakers in the area of missions, stewardship, and eyangelism. Teachers, particularly in our colleges, welcome: the opportunity to supply pulpits. If your church is without a pastor or if your pastor is ill, or has to be away, then contact your nearest Baptist college. Either the president's office or the office of public relations will be delighted to recommend some one to help you out for these Sundays. Again, let it be emphasized that the Cooperative Program is the lifeline of Baptist colleges as it is equivalent each year to several million dollars of endowment. The Cooperative Program is the best way to support your col leges through your church. Soon our Convention leaders will announce an other great five-year program of advance and achievement. The colleges are back of this program and will support it in every way. Last year our colleges enrolled 14,395 students. Of these, 500 are volun teers for full-time Christian service. In addition to producing these trained Christian vocational workers, hundreds of graduates of the North Carolina Baptist colleges return to the local communities to. become active leaders in church and civic affairs. Moreover, college faculties, administrators, and SOUTH Y ADKIN BAPTIST. ASSOCIATION students render valuable services to our churches by filling pulpits, teaching study courses, and assisting in the development of stewardship, missions, and evangelism. The Christian Education Day offers both an opportunity to learn about the colleges and a chance to increase financial support through the special! offering. In 1966 the Christian Education Day theme will center around the contribution of Baptist colleges to denominational leadership. The North Carolina Baptist colleges will join hands with the General Board and other institutions and agencies of our Convention in promoting a new five-year program of advance, ‘which is expected to be presented by Dr. Perry: Crouch at the November Convention. DARE TEAGUE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM REPORT, SOUTH YADKIN ASSOCIATION 1965 During the past year our association gave a total of $83,920.00 to the Cooperative Program. There were nine churches in our association which did not contribute to the Cooperative Program. Let us determine, now to be faithful in worship and to be faithful to World Missions during the coming year, Southern Baptists will soon celebrate the d0th anniversary of the founding of the Cooperative Program. It is now a well accepted faet that the Cooperative Program of World Missions is the foundation for our total missionary endeavor. We are engaged in the task of preaching, teaching, and healing in the name of Christ. The area of work is at home and abroad. The instrument of our work is the Cooperative Program, We presently support the work of 2,000 foreign missionaries, 2,500 home missionaries and more than 100 missionaries in North Carolina, Dr. Baker, James Cauthen, Secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention Foreign Mission Board, has challenged us to send out 5,000 foreign mission- aries within the next féw years. We are concerned for a lost world and for mission needs at home. Many of our churches have set goals for enlisting tithers by October, 1966. Many of our churches are increasing their gifts to the Cooperative Program. The following is a list of recommendations which merit consideration. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the churches participate in the TITHE... NOW!

(Or any month suitable to the local, church.) c 1. That the churches give regularly through the Cooperative Program DENOMINATIONAL LITERATURE REPORT With serious moral issues facing us on every hand, Baptists/need an accurate and comprehensive source of information. Secular papers cannot meet this need. These papers cover so many things . . sports, society, busi- ness, obituaries, entertainment, national and foreign affairs, to mention a few. All too often religion is found only on a Saturday church page .. if at all. . THE BIBLICAL RECORDER, our dependable mediuin of information for 132 years, serves its readers in many ways. In the past year those who look. to the secular press for coverage of Baptist events were disappointed on more than one occasion. The Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas and the Bap- tist World Congress in Miami Beach provide two examples. Even the best of the daily papers had no more than one article a day on these meetings. Some had none. Where can Baptists get coverage of these and other significant meetings? The Biblical Recorder . . it is their job to be our eyes and ears when we cannot be there! This weekly state paper can come into your home for only de or 5e a week, the cost of a stamp. THE COMMISSION, the monthly publication of the Southern Baptist Foreign Missions Journal, keeps us informed about our mission fields around the world and our missionaries who so capably serve our Lord and Southern Baptists. Subscription rates are $1.50 per year, HOME MISSIONS, published monthly. by the Home Mission Board, pre- sents the needs of evangelism in our own homeland and plans for reaching « the multitudes with the gospel. Rates are $1.00 per year. HoME LIFE, a Christian family magazine, is published monthly by the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, annual individual subscription $3.00, and has stories concerning family living and teaching and articles for daily family worship in the home. Through reading these denominational publications we can become more informed Baptists and better servants of our Lord: é NORTH CAROLINA BAPTIST HOMES FOR THE AGING Mrs. ELMER THOMAS 1965 ASSOCIATIONAL REPORT The day that North Carolina Baptists launched a ministry to the aging « 7 14 SOUTH YADKIN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION fourteen years ak0 was a good day indeed. Since that time four Homes for the Aging have come into being, and a fifth one is in the making. Many eld- erly people have been blessed by this compassionate ministry through the years, and today 160-speople are in residence at Resthaven, and the Hayes Honfe in Winston-Salem, the Albemarle Home # Albemarle and the Hamil ton Home in Hamilton. When the proposed new Home at Yanceyville is com- pleted, there will be capacity for 200. It is anticipated that construction will begin’ on the Yanceyville Home during 1965. This labor of Christian love and nurture is ours together, and we could not operate without the concern, the prayers, and the financial support of our Baptist people. This financial aid from the churches comes to us through two very vital avenues—the Special Day Offering, received on the third Sunday of February each year, and the Cooperative Program. Special Day Offering receipts for 1964 were at an all-time high and exceeded $96,000 00 Through these gifts we were able to supplement from 80° to 90°. of our needy residents who could not be with us otherwise. It-is urgently hoped that the Special Day Offering for 1965 will be the ereatest ever, especially in view of the pressing and ever-increasing needs of the aging in our midst who seek our help. The waiting list now is 175 and rows almost daily, As the great heart of the Saviour yearns for all in the various areas of human need, we are grateful that He has commissioned. us to include also a special ministry to the aged among us. We have responded to His plea, we are giving an answer to Him for these elderly people who are very dear to Him, and we pray that every church in our State Baptist Convention will be very careful to give mereasing emphasis to this vital ministry. Respectfully submitted, LESTER EF. CARSON General Superintendent THE REPORT OF THE N. C..BAPTIST FOUNDATION, INC. In the widest sense Stewardship “is the maximum use of one’s life for the glory of God and the good of mankind.” The North Carolina Baptist Foundation, Ine., encourages the Stewardship of Current Income in Sys- tematic and proportionate giving from current income. The Foundation also encourages the Stewardship of Accumulated Possessions by single block giving at infrequent intervals from accumulated income during one’s life- time and or at one’s death. You will note that the Baptists have put the major eniphasis on the Stewardship of Current Income, The Baptist Foun dation seeks to put a stronger emphasis on the Stewardship of Accumulated Income. There are many ways that the Foundation assists a person in mak- ing his gifts through accumulated income such as: (1) by living trust. (2) by gift annuity, and (3) by bequests in wills. SOUTH YADKIN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION 15 The Foundation also serves by meeting with you and your attorney upon your request in connection with preparation of legal documents where the Baptist Foundation is to be involved. The Foundation offers services to individual churches, associations, and to all of our Baptist agencies and in- stitutions. We have been emphasizing the making of -Christian wills. We have two films, “God’s Will Through Years” and “Treasures In Heaven.” on Christian will making, which are available to any organization upon request. C. GORDON MADDREY, Executive Secretary SUGGESTED COOPERATIVE PROGRAM REPORT FOR ANNUAL ASSOCIATIONS, 1965 With the dawning of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Co- operative Program, a new note of optimism and Missionary Advance is.per- ceptible among Baptists! It is now a well-accepted fact that the Cooperative Program of World Missions is the foundation for our total missionary endeavor | - that ‘of preaching, teaching, and healing in the name of Christ at home and abroad. _Even_as we presently support the work of 2,000 foreign missionaries, 2,500 home missionaries, and more than 100 missionaries in North Carolina. Dr Baker James Cauthen, Secretary: of the Southern Baptist Convention Foreign Mission Board, has challenged us to send out 5,000 foreign mission aries in the years immediately ahead! This will mean greater sacrifice and greatly increased giving on the part of Baptists everywhere! “The Coopera- tive Program has given significant support to every state and Convention- wide cause—during the last sixteen years it has provided more than $100,- 000,000 for the Foreign Mission program of Southern Baptists, Truly, it IS the ‘life-line’ of our total cooperative witness and service.” We are witnessing our greatest advance in history with 52.27°% of the southwide Cooperative Program dollar being allocated to Foreign Missions. We are advancing in our concern for a lost world more than 1300 Baptist churches have set goals as a part of the Conventionwide emphasi to enlist 2,000,000 tithers by October, 1966. A free “Planning Kit” for tither enlistment is available from our state office for every church or pastor adopting a definite goal. According to available records... Association during the past year gave a total of $ through the Cooperative Program. churches did not share in world missions through the Cooperative Program.

Bos SHEPHERD, Chairman SOUTH YADKIN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION BAPTIST FOUNDATION REPORT During the past four years the Foundation has been actively presented to the Baptist of North Carolina through the associations, churches, group meetings and through other media of communication, Our reception has been a most cordial and pleasant one. When the Baptist are properly and fully informed on any program, they can be depended. upon to uet wisely, Our main concern during these past four years has been to let our people know exactly what the Foundation is; how it functions; the various classes of people, churches, associations, conventions and agencies it represents as well as putting particul wr emphasis on Christian will making. Memorial investments in the Foundation have gone from $60.11 to ap proximately $450,000, No sum is too small to merit. our attention nor too large to be adequately handled. One of the strong characteristics of the Foundation lies in its fifteen member Board of Directors. These men are businessmen who give their business genius and ability to the work of the Foundation without any remuneration whatsoever. They want to invest a part of their time and talent in this phase of Kingdom work. It is my great pleasure to assure you that The North Carolina Baptist Foundation, Inc. is a going concern. Our people throughout the State are responding in a very fine manner to the services offered through the Foun- dation. This report would not be complete if I did not pay particular tribute to the excellent cooperation I have received from the pastors of the Conven- tion. This program cannot succeed without their active participation and they have not hesitated to graciously give aid and comfort to the program. The years ahead look bright. Call on us if we can help you.

WRITTEN FOR THE SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORGANIZATION OF W, M. U. OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION Tsaiah 51:1 "Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the of the pit whence ye are digged," ; Many times prior to the crossing over of the children of into the promised land they were admonished to remember how God loved them, led them out of bondage in Egypt, fed them with manna quail, cared for their every need, and performed miracles when need arose; and after forty years now.they were about to enter. int and possess for their very own luxuries for which they had not | abore1. They were to take courage by looking back over the years and dwell on the goodness of God for the strengthening of their faith, that might enter into their great inheritance. Today as we have met in ou annual meeting in this memorable seventh-fifth anniversary year of the organization of Southern Baptist Woman's Missionary Union, we are also. celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of our beloved South Yadkin Vc man's Missionary Union, My history will deal largely with its ization and work of the first twenty-five years, as taken:from tthe minutes of our association, This is written with hope and prayer tha the women of our churches will take courage and rededicate their live: to the promotion through W, M, U. of the Lord's work. | We read in the minutes of 1903 the following: . The women met on Friday, September 4, 1903 at 1:30 P. M. in Beulah YVhurch where the general association was in session |for three days. After devotional exercises and an address by the vice-president of the Central Committee, Mrs. Delia Surke, a motion was made that we go intc an organization of a W.M.U. Auxiliary to the South Yadkin Association. Mrs, Burke requested the privilege of appointing a secretary, and Mic Laura Lazenby was appointed. The list of churches was called’ and following societies reported, and delegates enrolled: Mocksville - Miss Taylor Mrs. Dodd) Spencer - Mrs. 3, F, Vuncannon Mrs, Campbell Statesville, First - Miss Laura Lazenby Miss Maude Burke Western Ave. - Mrs, J. M, Arnette Papers were read by Mrs. H, ©. Wilson, Miss Laura Lazenby, and wiss Maude Burke, after which we had an encouraging talk by Mr. Livingston Johnson, There were only seven societies in the entire association, They reported in their financial table that they had given that year a total of $75.85 to Foreign, Home, State, and Associational Missions, including a balance in treasury of 311.10. They adjourned with erate- ful hearts to meet at Fork Church at the same time next year with the general association. Mrs, Delia Burke, Fresident Miss Laura Lazenby, Secretary They, also, adopted a constitution with a preamble and 6 articles, Evidently the brethren didn't object, as we read in their minutes that on the afternoon of the next day on motion of Rev. C. G, ‘Yells, pastor of First Church, Statesville the proceedings of the Woman's Missionary organization would be printed in the minutes of the South Yadkin Agsso- ciation, The ladies were to pay for the extra expense of the printins. The account of the meeting at Fork Church in Davie County, September, 1904 indicated that much progress had been made, although only: four churches had delegates enrolled, due to the mode of travel in thos =: | (lo 2a SUGGESTED BUDGET FOR 1963-'64 CARE FOR MISSIONARY ji Sal ary ey Retirement 7.

We are asking the State Convention to give us 3396.00 on our budget. | ; “17 > days. The offering for this year. had increased from *75.85 to *290.98. A society was organized in the Mooresville church with Mrs. G, G, O'Neill as president and Miss Mary Waters as secretary. Reports were given from Children's Societies. We find in the minutes of Septembcr 1906 that Mrs, Maude Burke Dozier was on her way to Japan, ana a farc- well paper from her was read,that a plea was mde for Foreign Missions by Miss Maude Wilson, of Statesville First Church. Mrs. Delia Burke resigned after six years of leadership as president. We find that Miss Maude Wilson.and Miss Pattie Tatum at different times presided as vice president. In 1911, "The advisibility was that the W.M.U. meetings be held at separate time and place from the association." Some of the pastors expressed the desire and made a motion that we separate. The first separate meeting was held June, 1912 with the First Church in Statesville, and we find that Miss Pattie Tatum was acting president, and Miss Lenora Taylor was secretary. (Miss Taylor was our Mrs. Dodd.) The union had now grown from seven to thirteen societics,three Y.".A., seven Sunbeams, and one RA. Gifts had reached %767.00, The meeting convened at 2:30 P. M. on Wednesday with a full session at 8:00 P. M., including a missionary address by Mr. Wade Bastich from China, It met again at 9:30 A, M. Thursday, and again at 2:30 P, lf. Miss Pattie Tatum was elected president and Mrs, C. S, Cashwell vice-president. Rev. C, S, Cashwell pastored several churches in our association. It secms that our first printed programs were arranged for the 1920 meet- ing at Bethel Church. The annual meetings have been held each year, and a good program presented. Only on one occasion do we find that a man called the meeting to order. In 1925 our first one day meeting was held with Southside, Mooresville, on July 9. The necessity came about for condensing the work into @ one day session, since more in- formation was being obtained by literature from state office and through our periodicals and mission study books. The need for a two day meeting was not so imminent. Group leaders had now been elected for the purpose of ook group meetings each quarter, and in which h the needs were studied, us & closer contect was kept up through group meetings, In191k, a report of Y. W. A. work was read and dis- cussed. The committee on nominations was asked to name a Y, WwW. A. leader, which was done for many meetings during these first years, The W, li. U. report was read by the president or someone appointed to do it, and then one of the brethren ably discussed the good points and inspired the sisters to greater effort. Our programs have been chars- cterized by able speakers, Many foreign missionaries have brought first hand information from their fields. Our state personnel has added much inspiration and information to our program. We have been privileged to hear many of our ablest and most deeply consecrated leaders and representatives of all our work. Through good programs and outside speakers, the work has been brought close to the ladies and has served to bind us closer together in Christian fellowship. Another interesting note is that when we met in the summer months, delegates or representatives came from all the youth societies, thus adding inspiration to the assembly. Women of the South Yadkin Woman's Missionary Union, let us gather new inspiration and needed courage 4s we have caught glimpses of the early years of our organized work. “e are following in the train of many noble Christian women who insti- tuted and carried on for their Master under all circumstances. It wasn't easy and yet we can and should follow the example of their humble dedication to the work. It behooves all of us to take more time to study ways and means of serving. Let's give more of time and self in study, prayer, and missionary activities. Jesus admonished His followers to vray for more laborers to be called into the harvest. We cannot do the calling but we must pray definitely that it be done. May our looking backward today bring us into deeper commitment of our- selves and all we heve to the work of our Redeemer.

Let us pray and work and watch for it as mariners watch for the morning. r Dr. Bernard W., Spilman, Beloved of Carolina By R. C. Lawrence “Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye did it-unto me.” ERE is a really big Baptist: physically he H weighs around two-forty ; mentally he weighs a ton; spiritually he balances the scales with John Mitchell, the “beloved disciple.” If I state not his age, it is not to conceal his years but his youth, for, like Peter Pan, he has never grown up; years ago his heart melted into mellowness; and his life is as tender as are those of the young children who surround him. Many people think Dr. (george W. Paschal is the most prolific Baptist father, for hig children have taken fifteen degrees from Wake For- est, and young Paschals are stil] coming on; but here is my Doctor who is father to more than a thousand— ‘the children of our Orphanage at Thomasville and at our Kennedy Home. To these his portly figure does not represent the majestic Rev. Dr. Bernard W. Spilman, but he is Bountiful Bernard, and they bask in the sunshine of his ever-present smile. Caesar in his Commentaries divided all Gaul into three parts; but the life of my Doctor is readily divisible into five, for he is pulpiteer, missionary, Sunday school organizer: orphanage laborer: schol- arly author. And I think of him in these diverse fields as being attended by the shades of Clarence Dixon, the preacher; Matthew 'T. Yates, the mission- ary; Robert Raikes, the Sunday school founder; John Hyams Mills, the Orphanage builder; and Sir Walter Scott, immortal author, And in the pages of Scott’s great novel Ivanhoe, [, find a counterpart of my subject in the character of the Disinherited Knight, heroically anxious to enter the lists and do wager of battle against the champions of unrighteous- ness;'and giving his soul’s ‘devotion to the recovery of the Holy Sepulchre from the hands of the heathen. His Epvcarion Graduating from Wake Forest, where he drank deep from the “Pierian Spring” and absorbed. the sweet and scholarly spirit of Charles Elisha Taylor, he went to our Seminary at Louisville, where he sat at the feet of our own Dr. A. T. Robertson and where he caught a vision from John A. Broadus; and hence- 8 forth my Doctor said, as did Charles Wesley, “the world is my parish.” He was a member of a re- markable class at Wake Forest, which numbered such men as John L, Kesler, LL.D., professor of Religion in Vanderbilt University ; Walter M. Gilmore. Direc- tor of Publicity for the Southern Baptist Convention and its treasurer; Dr. Enoch Walter Sikes, Wake Forest professor and president of both Coker and Clemson Colleges in South Carolina; Frank M. Royall, great missionary to China; the brilliant sur- geon, Dr. Hubert A. Royster, of Raleigh; Robert B. White, veteran professor of Law at Wake Forest ; and other outstanding men. :. From the Seminary he served for a time as pastor at Kinston—his only pastorate—and then he entered upon the work of his life for the Sunday schools. becoming State Sunday School Secretary, where the bigness of his brain, the vista of his vision, and his superb gift for leadership soon attracted the atten- tion of our Southwide leaders, and he was called upon to assume a position of even wider usefulness. Our State gave to Tennessee its first Governor in the person of William Blount, and we have since donated to that State three of its greatest assets in the gifted Dr. Hight ©. Moore, brains behind the Sunday School Board; Rey. Dr, William F. Powell, LL.D., since 1921 pastor of our First Church at Nashville and president of our Sunday School Board ; and my scholarly and saintly Doctor, all of whom became the mudsills upon which our far-flung Sunday School work is based. a Goxzs to Sunpay Senoot Boarp When Spilman went to Nashville in 1901. the Sunday school work was in its swaddling clothes ; for its total income was but $80,000.00, only $2,500.00 of which was available for the field department and the work of teacher training. My Doctor immedi- ately sensed the fundamental need for three things : a man in every state to head the Sunday school work, and such men he forthwith secured ; books for Sun- day school study, which he provided, largely from his own potent and prolific pen; and schools for Sun- day school workers—rural schools, city schools dis- trict schools, state schools, a southwide school. Here was an ambitious program, but he translated it into actuality, for I am but coldly conservative when | say’ that the Doctor is the greatest genius in organi- zation that I have ever known. The Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest always referred to his headquarters as in the “sad- dle,” and my Doctor became a traveling salesman for Sunday schools. Up and down the Southland he went, taking his cause to the people, organizing the work in every state; consolidating his gains; conquer- ing new territory. He penetrated remote commu- nities ; he carried his cause into metropolitan pulpits ; and wherever he went he uttered the clarion-like call e Brsuicat Recorper often taken as the text for Christian charity; and T derogate not from his excellent example. Yet he ministered’ to but one man, whereas my Doctor has succored and sustained many thousands; and long after his mortal remains shall have crumbled into dust, this work which he has fostered and nourished will constitute a living and perpetual memorial]. For many years he has served as Chairman of the Orphanage Board, and he has given to this cause the devotion of his heart, the largess of his purse, His financial contributions alone constitute a mighty monument, for he has donated $20,000 to the Ken- nedy Home; doubled the size of its infirmary ; built its library; put $10,000 into the Mozelie Pollock Home for girls, a building pronounced by that most competent authority,the Duke Endowment, as the best building’ for orphans in the South: he construct- ed the camp at Lake Emily ; and he has contributed other genérous sums to the splendid work this insti- tution is doing. Most of his materia] contributions ‘0 our Orphanage work have been at the Kennedy Home, for here the need was sorest, and it js within the shadow of its walls that the genial Doctor lives, moves and has his being. “Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” He is the senior of our “Elder Statesmen,” and | use the word statesman advisedly, for that correctly represents { lity of his service to church and ‘tate. When ‘ger emergency arises in our Baptist Work, our people instinctively turn to my Doctor for guidance and eadership; when any dissension arises (and even Paul and Silas did not always agree), he is called in to calm the surging seas; and when, on the field of the State, there is any moral or socia] condition which ealls for a remedy, the Doctor is always consulted, for he is a consulting physician to our body politie, He has always been an optimist; he has not only looked for the “silver lining” but he has found it: and his cheery soul has never known the message of defeat. T think it best to think on his genial gentle- ness ; his kindly courtesy ; his warm friendlinegs, He IS NO severe touch-me-not preacher, but he meets, min- gles and mixes with “very man on his own level. He speaks both the language of the plowman in the field, or the scholar in the study, Can yon vision the portly Doctor all dressed up in clerical regalia. Wearing. a fez, and riding a camel across the burning sands of the desert? If you Were once around Sudan Temple of the Mystic Shrine at New Bern, you might have seen such a sight, for this Master Mason was one of the Temple's charter mem- bers. That’s the manner of man that he is; and his. life has been fashioned and formed by the square and compass. Since Dr. Vann went away, my Doctor is the best heloved of Carolina, for Years ago he crept into the 10 hearts of his brethren and there he has since re mained, for all who have ever known him love him and he has bound the hearts of oursBaptist host to his own with hooks of steel, General Henry Lee acclaimed President Washing- ton as “First in war. first in peace, and first in the hearts. of his countrymen.” Today I but echo the Sentiment of Carolina Baptists when |] hail our Doctor as “First in the Sunday School: first in the Orphanage; first in the hearts of his brethren.” Now do you not agree that he should be called Bountiful Bernard? God grant that his valued life be spared to the Southland many years, but when he passes let this be the verse you grave for him: “His life was Zentle, and the elements so mixed .in him That nature might stand up and say to all the world, This was a man.” The Opportunities of a Chaplain By Chaplain ©, A. Arrington Tt is not intended as an SOS§ call tor chap- lains. It is written in the hope that it may help some minister Who may -be considering entering the chaplaincy, There may be some who Are struggling, as I did for months, with the question, A letter from a chaplain telling of the work would have helped me then, I have never regretted my decision, It js hard to make—harder than when one is drafted— especially if there is a family. But there ig a tremendous reed, T have never had five busier months jn my life. Never a day passes but that several men come to the chaplain with some problem, Just why they open Up so much more to the chaplain than they did in civilian life I do not know. At our church services each Sunday morning—9 :00 a.m.—the chapel is practically pack- ed, attendance voluntary. There are some thirty to forty men in the hospital to visit two or three times a week. I have found that the chaplain in the army 18 respected, that he is greatly needed, and that his work is vital, not just skimming the surface. There has been complete freedom of expression, -[ have seen few chaplains—if any—whooping up war, The men do not want to hear war sermons, bunt rather & message of faith and hope. The army has realized the importance of ministering to a man’s spiritual life and the chaplains are allowed a great deal of freedom in their work. The chapels are by far the most beautiful buildings on the post. One further point.

Ben- jamin Arey served as the first pastor. On October 9 1840, the following officers were elected: elders, Henry Lentz and An. drew Rickart; deacons, David Lentz and Moses Raymer. The first building was located about one, mile west of the present building, on the out- skirts of Statesville in what is now Belmont community. The place is marked by the old graveyard. It was a wood- en building 40 by 60 feet and the timbers and framing were hand hewn. Church Built In ‘1841 It was built in 1841 when carpenters worked for 50 cents a day. The greater part of the work, possibly all of it, was done by members of the con- gregation. A Sunday school was organized May 27, 1949, with its first article of organization be- ing a requirement for “good order.” A, M. Miller was super: intendent and John Smithdeal, assistant. In 1885 a more desirable lo- cation was sought because the railroad was too close and noi- sy and, under the pastoral lead- mantled ‘and the in building the present church on a two-acre plat deeded to St. Paul’s church officials by Mr. and: Mrs. J. W. Bost. Much of the work was done by members of the congregation and the church was dedicated in 1986, The pulpit, which is still in use, was made ‘by Emman- uel Beaver. The building com- mittee consisted of John C, Len- tz, Sumter Hoover and R. E. Beaver. In the early life of the church St. Paul's furnished the Luther- ” an Church six ministers: Rev. R. C. Lentz, Rev. J. L. Smith- deal, Rev. A.W. Lentz, Rev. D. S. Lentz, Rev. H. Max Lentz and Rev. H. C. Haitheox, D. D. Improvements Started Extensive improvement in the church: property was begun in 1939 under the leadership of Rev. W. H. Dutton, with Sun- day school rooms added in 1940. This was continued under Rev. R. M. Carpenter, with new pews purchased and a heating system installed. Shortly thereafter church grounds were landscap- ed and a deep well drilled. It is a significant fact that 16 members of the congregation, including one lady nurse, Mrs. Sarah Lentz Gillon now of Ohio, served with military forces dur- BILLBOARD ADVERTISEMENT—Three billboards such as use of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church by F downtown Statesville. ahother near the entrance Belk’s Department Store in ing World War II and all re- turned home safely. This was one-fourth of the adult member ship at that time! ; For many years St. Paul's was associated with various other churches in the parish, with church services once OF twice a month. In later years there were three congregations in the parish: Mt. Herman, Sha- ron, and St. Paul's. Each be- gan to feel the need of more ser- vices, with better facilities, and in a parish realignment, Paul's was left on its own. Out Of Retirement Early in 1950, Rev. Ww. B Aull, then living in so-called ‘retirement’ at his home in Landis, was asked to serve as supply minister At the end of three months there was such an awakened interest that the con- gregation asked him to serve as full-time pastor. This he agre- ed to do on his 8th birthday, March 19, 1950, and he carried on the work from his home in Landis With enthusiasm and untiring effort, he led the congregation in a program of activities that won a third place award in the 1953-54 Town and Country De- velopment Program sponsored by Emory University and The 13 Southern States.

Lentz, one of the ministers furnished by St, Paul's. This was dedicated on October 11, Rev. Aull was the recipient of the Doctor of Divinity de- gree from Lenoir Rhyne College, Hickory, in recognition of me- rited honor in June, 1954. Early. in this ministry, which Dr, Aull chose -to call his “‘last assignment,” he saw the great need of educational and fellow- ship facilities and began to dream dreams of a new build- ing. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on July 19, 1958, and, by unanimous vote of the con- gregation, the unit, completed in October 1953, was given the name of Aull Educational Build- ing to show appreciation to the pastor and Mrs. Aull for having come out of retirement to serve with utmost devotion and dedi- cation. The pastor, members oster Poster Company.

Dedication Service un January 6, 1957 the pas- tor and congregation met to re- joice in a dedication service led oy Dr. F. L. Conrad, president St. of the North Carolina Lutheran Synod and father of the present pastor Rev. Paul L. Conrad. Also dedicated at this time were furnishings in the women’s class room given as & memorial to Mrs. T. Scott Barkley by her family. Mrs. Barkley gave & full measure of service and loy- alty to St. Paul’s and was ac- tive in all phases of church work until, a few months before ner death in May 1949, at the age of 84. She taught an adult class and was Sunday school superintendent & number years, In early March 1957 mem- pers gathered in the Aull build- ing to pay tribute to Dr. Aull on his 87th birthday and on Sunday, March 24, he carried out a full day of activities. He was stricken with his last ill- ness three days later and on April 12, 1957, the earthly Book of Life closed for this unassum- ing servant of the Lord, a wise counselor of many people. He was buried on Palm Sunday. Parsonage Planned A church parsonage was Dr. Aull’s last dream and, follow- ing the annual homecoming sef- vice on September 8, 1957, with sermon by Dr. V. R. Cromer, president of Lenoir Rhyne Col- lege, the synod president, Dr. Conrad, led a groundbreaking service for a parsonage of lots faciig U.S. 70 adjacent to the church lawn. These lots had been presented to the church by. Dr. and Mrs. Aull to meet such a need, The parsonage, valued at more than $16,000 was completed in the summer of 1958, with ap- proximately half the amount paid at once and the balance secured through a loan from the Lutheran Synod’s Home Mission Board. Student Minister Beginning in June 1957, John F. Taylor, Jr., of Landis, a ris- ing senior at the Lutheran Seminary, Columbia, 5. Us served St. Paul’s as student | supply minister for the sum- mer.

One thing I noted in the marriages as listed, was that in 179) Thomas Holman married Allsey Tugmane- and Edmond Tugman was the witness, In the Will of Thomas Holman (Jr)(Wi11 1833) he names his wife, Elsa (Allséy 7) and one Williem TUGMAN was named as cowexecutors of the Will. This is pure conjecture--but William Tugman could well have been a brother of Elsa (Allsey(?)'gitttt Do you ote in the marriage of Danie) Holeman to Salley Ferguson in Jan 1810 e-a wm Tugman Wasa witness, and when Dianna Holman married Wm Triplett in Oct or 1810, he was also a witnes If this is the case--further checking into Tugman Wills in Wilkes Co., Ath might prove profitable. Of course it is purely a guess on my part as to who this William Tugman is, in re-reading Thomas Holeman (Wil1 1798) 1 note that that Thos, Holeman named one Ephraim Davis as co~executor of his Will with his wife Susannah--so9 perhaps, my reasoning as above is not con+« sistent, because Thos, Holeman Sp's wife was a Tugman too, But did you note that in the wil] 1933 of Thos. Holeman Jr that he named one Surana Davis to receive money too? Don't know what the con- nection is,if anye The witnesses of the elder Thomas (1798) are listed as James Proffitt, Thomas Wade and Gersham Tompkins, From the Holman$ in Amer. --prelude Pp. XXKKvi from a letter of Elizabeth Holeman Smith written in 1887, She states that her gr. fa. William Holeman ma. twice. His 2nd wife was Sarah Johnson (a relative of Col, Dick (Rochard ?)

An Uncle, Same] Holeman, her father's youngest bro. moved there from N.C, He bought a farm near his brother David Holeman's, ae Le David Holeman moved to Tippecanoe Co., Ind.» nr. Lafayette and. 4 cath J vont Antig Bir while living there, cousins from 80, Ind, paid hima visit. One in particular she remembered named Ruben Holeman+-he had been captured by Indians when a boy and to brand him, had plucked all the hair off & spot on the back of his head~-about the size of a hif-dollar «-which grew in perfectly white. David Holeman made several visits to his old home in N.C. -~a distance of 900 miles «on horseback, usually taking 5 weeks for travel each way, Iyn Peru/L4dh Ill. David lived for 18 yes They moved to Carthage Mo. where David died on 19 Nov. 1874, He was taken back to Peru Cemetery in Ii]. to be buried in the famiy plot.

T have made copies of these Wills and will return your copies to you, and thank you again for loaning them to me for copying. Also the Will ofIsaac Holeman (1st) of Rowan Co., N.Cer and written 1§th of August 1807. ~ : I was very much interested in the names of the children of ‘each of these Holeman's--so many duplications of given names-¢the same practice held truein my Stansbury -Stapbury lines,)the family into which Rachel Holeman married when she and DAVIN STANBURY -STANSBURY were wed. You mention the fact that one David Holeman - dropped the "e" from his name and was known thereafter as David7Holman--this practice was also camfion inthe early days--the spelling of my maiden e Stansbury was various] spelled Stansberry, Stanbury, Stanbery, Stanberry--even by my own father and his grand- father. Now in talking about "Reuben Holeman" I found a Reuben Holemean named second in Thomas Yoleman's Will--was he born about 1759, Or was it the Reuben Holeman named as fifth in Isaac Holeman's Will? If ,in the Isaac Holeman line{ by the Will that is) his b-date is 1759--and he would have been 22 yrs of age when listed in R’v, War under Capt. Campbell. In 1787 -at age 28 he livedon Daniel Holeman's land--In 1789 at age 30, he bought Daniel's land. In 1792 at age 33 he bought 77 Acres from Jacob Sigler; . in 1804 at’ age 45 he bought 17 acres from Wm Cook, And in 1807, at age 48, he sold, 205 Acres to Jo Joyner. From the facts in 1800 Census(what State sts 3 sons under ten (b. betw 1790-and 1800), 1 son between 10-16 yrs y 2 sons betw 16 and 26. ais 1784); 1 Make over 26 --(probably Reuben himself who Would have been age 41 yrs). ‘1 female under 10 --b. after 1790; 1 female 10 to 16 yrs (b. betw 1784 and 1790 --This could have been the Rachel we are look- ing for I believe that she was born in XRZ 1787, cg bei do not have my records with me}. 1 female aged 16 to 45 --probably the wife and mother his age would make her born betw. 1755 and 1784. What happened to Reuben Holeman after he sold the property in 1807? Ts this the time that you lost track of him? I'll check the Tennessee and Ky records to see if I can find him in 1810, 1820 and 1830-~it will take some time but I'll] do my best to find him, My gr.grandmother Rachel Holeman stated that she was born in N.0., and my grandmother Malinda Stanbury--her daughter a}so claimed to have been born in N.C. about 1807/8 if I remember correctly. This Wé~the Malinda Stanbury --daughter of Rachel (Holemai) and her husband David Stanbury--who also claimed NC as his birth@lace,. The Stansberry (Stansbury) (Stanbury ) (Stanbery) family moved into NC --Gaswell Co in IUTEX- in 1777/78 from Baltimore Md. My Gr. grandfather Solomon Stansbury lived in Burke Co. and married Jane Lewing (Tawing) in Lincoln Co., in Feb of X¥¥ZX 1791 when she was but 17 yrs «f age--she was a descendant of Andrew (Andreas )Killian thru her mother or grand mother--one Jean Killian who married William Lewing (Tawing) . So you can see from from the Counties of Surry, Rurke, Wilkes and Ashe that these Stanbury's could well have neighbors of your ancestors in NC. Many Stansbury (Stanbury) descendants live in Ashe county yet--as well as over a good deal of NC. SC. Fla. Ga. & Tex, and Ky and Tenn. My Stansbury ancestors were generally of the Baptist or Christian Church--altho I d be- lieve that in Md they were either Presbyterian or Church of England. I could find no one named Rachel in the Will of Thdpds Isaac Hoheman--but with the possibility that the Rachel Holeman was & granddau. of Isaac's it opens up a lot more terpritory to search in, So let's go along and see if-we can connect up with a Rachel who is a granddau of Isaac's. Did Reuben have a daughter named Rachel? Was Thomas Holeman--whose will you sent, a son of Isaac Holeman? or was it the other way round? Or are they related in this manner, In the family of Thomas Holeman there are children named Reuben, Rachel, Daniel, Isaac, Thomas and James. These 1, children of Thomas Holeman and his wife Susannah (Tugman) all moved to Clarke Co., Ind. before 1810. and County?) be { (bd. betw. 1784 eo Ww ade The names of Isaac Holeman’> NM. ca 1807 Rowan Co., NC _— issue contain the names of Daniel -{was he the one who moved to Fayette Co. Va. in KY). and as this the Daniel whose land Reuben Holeman --his brother=-was living on in 178727\‘elizabeth his dau--did she marry a man named Johnson? William Holeman who had a son named Igaac Holeman and named in his gr.fa. Isaac Holeman's Will. Ath named is Reuben Holemn--is this the Reuben b.'175§ who lived on his bro Daniel's land in 1787?. He was appar- ently in Rowan Co., NM until 1807 at least since he sold land there in that year=-do you know where he moved to? Tien James Holeman--if The R{chel we are ‘hunting for was Reubent dau, --this James Holeman would have been her uncle. A daue Batience --did she marry a man named DEAN? Then THOMAS=--was,this the Thomas who died in Wilke Co., NC in 17987 If so,he was the father of the Ra Leman who" RaFied BR. Prathes and moved to Clarke Co. Ind. before 1810, The next son Hamed is John --whose b-date of 1770 is given » and the fact that he was 80 yrs old in 1850 “July 25--(Was this from a Census Record?- If so what State and County?) Then Absolom, a dau. Mary who married a NEEIY? Then Jacob and last DAVID Holeman/ These two last named. sons werenaned Executors of the Will. Now } you mention the fact that your grandmother was named Nancy Holeman and a daughter of this David Holeman--changed name to Holman, She must have married a man named SWANN--since that is your surname, This is what I get pieced out of the information given me in your letter and from the Will copies, I made family charts --showing the children named as heirs 4a the Wills--with such information as I could get from your letter and the information on Reuben and his family, I may have missed the point and if so--do correct me when you write again, The children of Rachel (Holeman) end David Stanbury --as far as I know--were Malinda b. 1807/8 in NC, and fre and John Stanbury b. in Indiana in 1820. These boys were twins, | When MalindA Stanbury B. 1807/08 married my grandfather Willien Stanbbury in 1829-30 in Ky they had a large family--and named their children about as follows: Solomon, David, Williem, Samuel, Thomas, Reuben=-(of whom I know nothing beyond his b-year in the Census of Ozark Co., Mo. in 1850) George Washington Stansbury --my father- and several sisters--named Malinda Jane, Mary, Rachel . Reuben had a second name-- Retliff--(Does that mean anything to you, or ring any bell of association?) All the other information I have comes from family tradition, and that is that Reuben Ratliffe Stansbury--one of my father's brothers left home early and there is no further record of him--marriage, death, children or whatever. I never tried to find out anything else about him, because I had no reason to do so. TI believe he was born about 1835--anyway before my father’s birth in 1845--in Lincoln Co., Ky--The family moved to S.W. Mo about 1846 and lived in various] counties there, @.g+, Ozark, Newton, Macdonald--etc. My father ma. when he was about 22 and moved with his first wife to Iowa, and was living there in 1870. He ma. 2nd my mother in 1893 and he was in his 53rd yr when I was born in 1898, ‘He died in Ft. Worth Texas in 1911. Rachel (Holeman) and David Stanbury moved back to Ky=-Laurel Co. aometime before 1850=-and they, as well as James Holeman ~aged 60 in 1850:@th his wife Susan-- b, Ky and aged 46 in 1850——were all living as neibhbors— Malinda Stanbury--(aged 25 in 1850 was living in the household of James Holeman and his wife Susan (Stanbury) who was Malinda Stenbury's 3MMEgEE utters older sister, It has been reported to me that John Stanbury --one of the twin sons of Rachel (Holeman) and David Stanbury married one Elizabeth) Holeman--who is said to be a daughter of James and Susan Holeman--so it looks as tho there was intermarriage between first coupins..... : So do give me your line and wetal see if we can nonnect them up _the basis of Rachel being the daughter of Reuben Holeman b, 1759 or another one of your’ grandfather David Holeman's brothers,--the son's of Isaac Holeman who 4. about 1807 in Rowan Co., MN. Thanks again for your continued correspondence regarding this possible fanily connection, I don't know what we would do if we couldn't get the cooperation from the families who have the old records, and continue to live in the neighborhoods where their ancestors lived, I have been such a rolling stone--that I'd hate to have someone try to track me down by where I was a given census taking time--they would have a merry chase--in 1900 I was in Newton Co.

I haven't paid much at- tention to it myself for a long time, but this afternoon I was trying to file the notes slphabetically, and found two lines who are your old neighbors and your kin. The Steele book gave a picture of the old house. I think I never saw it but understood what was in my day the new house of Mr, ill Freley was on the site. Ninean Steele got the old place in the will, and I was impressed with the delicate provision made for the unmarried daughter - she was to have a little house in the-verd to herself. I have the barest mem- ory of "Aunt Nancy" Steele, and how she called chrysanthemaums "frost pinks."

Dear Mr. Swann: I suppose that Mrs. Davenport wrote you that Mr. Davenport died on Feb. 22nd. I was so sorry to learn that this fine, outstanding man and historian had passedéway. I was very fond of him and had great respect for his ability. In case 1 have not already sent you this, I will do so now, end may 1 say that this is just for your own information and for you to have since it is right near you. ROWAN DEED BUOK 9, PAGE 103, APRIL 13, 1779: "Robert Simonton conveys to Ninian Steel, 640 acres of land decded by James Innes and Francis Corbin (English Agents) to Rev. John Thompson, March 25, 1752, and the said Thompson left it in his will to Roger Lawson & his wife Hannah Lawson, who in turn deeded it to said Simonton June 2, 1754." I want to run up and run around a little with you sometime during this month. I would like to see the site of the old David Caldwell Mill, and where George Brandon lived, in case you know these places, which I am sure you do. Also where Ninian Steel lived. I will let you know ahead of time and we can spend an afternoon, if it suits you. I am not able to do much walking as 1 had a mild heart attack last Fail, but where there is no climbing, I can get along 0.K. I have enjoyed the map that you suggested I get at States- ville. It is a wonderful help to me. Regards to Mrs. Swann. with my best wishes, I am, ap meerely yours, ts al , th oe i 44 Az, oY , Wm. D.

Deed 1 George Knight, metallurgist at J. C. Steele & Sons, dis | tng cussed his work at the weekly | me meeting of the Kiwanis Club of 2 the City of Progress held Thursday at the Vance Motor Inn. The Steele firm is one of the oldest in the brickmaking ma- chinery business, Knight point. | ,ed out. Knight said that the Steele firm has been upgrad- ing its equipment in recent years and further progress is expected. He explained that they make a high value pro- duct 9 per cent of which is sold ‘in the United States. Much of the firm's business is pro- viding replacement parts for brickm aking machinery, he said. Knight traced the révolution- ary changes that have been taking place in foundry work in recent years and discussed many of the technical aspects of foundry operations. The local firm makes four different types of iron and is now using plas- tics in the making of patterns, he said.
