MUSICAL PROGRAM
A real treat is in store for us Sun
day night when the Orchestra or
ganized and directed by Dr. Court
ney Brooks and composed by the
following: Mrs. Courtney Brooks,
Miss Joan Matthews, Miss Virginia
Wolfe, Billy Brooks, L. T. Estes,
Johnny Wade, Larry Otwell and
Roy Otwell Jr. will render several
numbers beginning promptly at 8
o’clock. The class will render some
special numbers and the entire hour
will be given to a well prepared
musical program.
Music both vocal and instrumen
tal are ways God has given us of
praising Him. Nothing is more wor
shipful to the Lord and wholesome
to one’s soul than good music, and
how much we do need to have those
who are endowed with the talent to
use same for the glory of God. So
much we hear over the radio is
trash and foolish and a lot of it is
shamefully sinful and vulgar.
Some of the programs under by
crooners are lacking in intelligence
as well as music and contains noth
ing that should appeal to acuitured
listening ear. So we are grateful, be
yond words to express, to these
poung people for organizing this
orchestra and being willing to bring
it to the Lords House for this pro
gram. We hope to have them, or
at least a part of the many differ
ent instruments, in all of our ser
vices. If so they will be making a
valuable contribution to the worship
services of our church. The public
is cordially invited to the service.

IN MEMORY OF E. E. WHITMIRE
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
MAY 24th, 1946.
There’s another one been added —
to the choir in heaven above,
He is one we all remember—twas
because of his great love.
We will miss him here in singings—
but we know that up there still,
He is shouting praise to Jesus
to the glory of his will.
The Lord I’m sure invited him,
to sing with all the blest
He wouldn’t miss it for the world,
he’s there to do his best
A-mazing grave! how sweet the
sound, he’il sing while ages fly—
Then one day soon we’ll all go home
and dwell with him on high.
We’ll make the hallelujah’s roll
forever in the sky.
So let us not forget him—
while on this earth we trod,
Remember he’s up there singing
for the glory of our God.
Altho’ I know we miss him and it’s
hard to understand, why the
Lord did call dear Egbert
to a better promised land
But it was, for some good purpose
And we know that God knew best
So be ready, watching, waiting for
the Lord to call us home
Then together we’ll be singing
songs around the great white
throne.
