VOLUME 4. NO. 2S WINDER CITIZEN HONORED BY HIS CHURCH lt will be remembered that in the recent missionary Centenary movement of the Methodist church, our fellow townsman, Mr. W. C. Horton, was selected as the campaign director of the Gaines ville district. Mr. Horton’s efforts and won derful ability to do big things put the district over the top with about $40,000.00 to spare in a quota of $155,000.00. This was the best record made by any district in Southern Meth odism . In recognition of his splendid work and marvelous success in the great Centenary campaign, Bishop warren A. Candler has extended Mr. Horton an invitation to be one of the two hundred honored guests of the bishop at Fifth Anniversary of the Founding of Emory Univer sity. To be selected as one of South ern Methodism’s two hundred strong men is no small honor, and we feel proud that such deserved recognition should fall to one of Winder’s business men. W. C. Horton puts his best into his work whether it is building a bank or looking after the finances of the church. The successful business man in any calling should always be ready and willing to give a part of his time, his means and his ability in furthering and strengthening the greatest and most important of all institutions the church. And no man can be a success in the .truest sense, however much he may succeed in a business way, if he fails to catch the vision of ser vice for humanity and helping to enlarge the influence of the church in'its work for the redemption of the world. * REMEMBER JULY 22nd. r Every man who wishes to see his county in line with all of the other counties in Georgia, should not forget the bond election July 22nd Every man who w T ould like to see better roads so that lie may get the benefit of them before he leaves this world should turn out and vote on July 22nd.
