The elders of these churches volunteered
to conduct the services during
t lie month of August in order to give
the pastor a month's vacation to attend
the conferences at Montreat. This
kindness is very much appreciated by
the pastor, and he wishes, through tho
paper, to thank his loyal elders and
to commend their example to the elders
of other country churches, where the
pastors often miss the good feasts here
at Montreat, because they are loath
to close their churches during the open
summer months.

for a few days' rest. Cor.
Hephzcbali: Dr. Richards, of Davidson
College, preached for us eight days,
closing August 11th. There were six
additions on profession of faith. Five
of these received the right of baptism.
Truly Davidson College is fortunate in
having the Doctor minister to her students.
His preaching is plain, pointed,
practical, convincing, urgent. He has
stirred this church and community by
hiB masterly use of the sword of the
Spirit, the Spirit blessing the word.

in attendance and interest for some
months, and we believe will now show
greater efficiency than ever before.

of the senior class, Union Theological
Seminary, is supplying the Qormania
church through the summer months.
The work of Mr. Brooke and his helpers
is being blessed in a most gratifying
manner. One of the ways that the
young people have shown their interest
is by building a concrete platform and
steps at the front of the church. Tin
material for this was provided by tho
Girls' Club, and the work done by the
young men, in the evenings after work
hours. Beginning July 20th. Mr.
Brooke, assisted by Rev. P. H. Franklin,

of special services, which strengthened
and refreshed the people of God in a
most impressive way. Five young people
were added to the church. A speM
