THURSDAY APRIL 10 1924. ■r; NUMBER 14 METHODIST CHURCH NEWS The Clayton Circuit of the Methodist Episcopal Church,i South, Rev. R. P. Ethride, pas tor, has accepted $847.00 as a minimum quota to raise; within five years for the cause of Super annuate Endowment of, that de nomination. The goal for the en tire church of this movement is $10,000,000.00, the income from which is to be used for ihe sup port of the aged and infirm; min isters and widows and orphans of ministers. The campaign for the fund is being directed by the Board of Financb of the Southern Metho dist Church. St. Louis, Mo„ Bishop W. F. McCurry, chair man, and Dr. Luther E. Todd, secretary. The latter has issued and sent to all pastors a booklet, * ‘The Call of the Forgotten Man”, which tells the pathetic story of the great need, asks the church to remember him with substan tial giving and outlines plans for raising the sum sought. According to reports received by the board, over 2,000 pastoral charges have up to this time ac cepted minimum quotas asked of them and many of them have voluntarily increased the a mounts. Several large individual gifts have already been announ ced and others arc expected. There are over 900 of the old preachers, many of them pioneer ‘ - cTrcuir^flderr^WlW-^ee throglt storm and sunshine, winter and summer, day and night, to serve humanity and the church, 1,300 widows and 600 orphans, many 'of whom are living in a little better than poverty. They never forgot duty and the church for a single moment, and there is now evidence on all sides that the church is at last thoroughly awake to its belated duly to its forgotten servants. This is a small amount for such a worthy cause from such a well blessed people as the Methodists of Rabun County, especially since they are accustomed to doing big things for the cause of Christ. These folks raised $941.00 for the cause of missions and educa tion and church extension in the year' 1923 and for all purposes $7;i{$.00. Let it be assured that this $847.00 for these old soldiers of the cross will be raised and that in less than five years.

While out on the chase they overtook Will Gregg”,, for whom the sheriff had a warrent charg ing him with house breaking, and captured him. after a chase.

Mr. Green still retains his bachelorhood and resides with his mother, and judging from the care and kind ness bestowed upon his mother, he would make some lady a mighty good husband. The newest of the employees is Miss Drewi'la Bleckly, who as lecorid assistant cashier is render ing to-the bank and its patrons an excellent service. As an evi dence of the esteem in which Miss Drewilla is held by those* who know her best she was importuned to enter the race for representative, to fill the unex pired term of her father, the Honorable Jus. E. Bleckley, but declined the opportunity, rather preferring to retain her position with the bank. • Tlve directiors of the bank are Dr, J. C. Dover, President; Judge W. S. Long, Vice-Pres.; T. A.
