Rev. H. R. Allegood of the Christian
Church read the scriptures, Rev.
Lamar Watkins of the Methodist
church gave the opening prayer and
Rev. J. D. Matheson of the Baptist
church, the dismissal prayer.
The message was brought by the
pastor, Rev. William Thurmon, who
chose for his subject “Jesus and
the Woman of Samaria” as recorded
in the Fourth Chapter of John. The
leading thoughts as presented by
Mr. Thurmon were contrasts of
Christ and the woman—Racial, the
Jew and the Samaritan; Sex, the
man and the Woman; Character, the
Saint and the Sinner. The sermon
was impressive and was heard with
much interest.
The occasion was the first op
portunity that many Jeffersonians
had to view and admire the attrac
tive inside decorations of the
.Church, which has been given a
Look” that has completely
changed the auditorium. Gas heat
has also been installed that guaran
tees a comfortable place to Worship
