eration to correct OUR mistakes?
The Methodist Church.. . AH!
People from far and near drive
here just to see that Church. . .
it is the most beautiful in the
STATE (thru the Office Boy’s
eyes. . .and thats not my churcn
either). The most beautiful
Christmas Card we received
was a Picture ot that Church
this year. Yes, if the other
Clubs will have a little frienuly
competition with the Garden
Club in Civic Pride you will see I
us grow and grow, and instead
ot 10,000 tourists to Covington
we will have 50,000 in the next
year or so. . .that is when we
build a Hotel large enough for
them to spend the night. We
have always boosted our hotel. .
for many years it was famous
for its food. . .People from At- ,
lanta and all near by towns
came, for Sunday Dinners. . ,
all traveling men tried to make
Covington for the weekend. . .
but we do not have enough
rooms! Let’s do something
shout that!
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE! Sun
dry we saw the most beautmtl
picture we ever hope to see. It
is printed indelibly in my
beautiful album of memories. . .
; n the Pulpit of the First Bap
tist Church sat our beloved Dr.
Walker Combs. . .on his left vas
Dan Greer, on his right, Guy
Walton, then Pete Nunn. Those
were boys he has perhaps
christened in his church when
they were born for he has be?n
here around 35 years. Why were
they there? Well, those boys
FOUND CHRIST. . .they are
g.ving their LIFE Service to
HIM. . .Dan read the scriptuie
and made a talk. . .Guy, who
has been Educational Director
in Augusta Baptist Church, and
is now teaching English, will
go to the Seminary soon to re
sume his studies to be a Min
ister. . Pete Nunn was next on
the program. I believe he is at ’
Mercer. . .but it matters net
about that. . .the main thing is
that His Life is dedicated to
Kingdom work. . .His talk was a
great Challenge to all who heard
him. . .thought provoking re
marks were made by each. Dan
Greer told of one statement
made by his teacher at Emory i
which had nothing to do wiin
the Class work (so far as Dan
was concerned) for he saw
Christ's challenge in the mes
sage. Ah! What a challenge tnat
is to teachers everywhere to
leave a mark on their pupils. .
to Put Christ into their Work. . .
and what a challenge to Schools
to elect Christian Teachers,
for just think how different the
impression can be on those boy*
and girls who have not found
Him! Yes. those teachers mean
much in the moulding of
Character in our children. Let
us select them. . .not just elect
them.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. . J
Emmit Floyo. . the fourth of
that group o, boys, who were
in our Bapp Training Union
as LEADER! . only yesterday
it seemed. . ordained as a
Minister oi Gospel. . .That
was • sam moment when we
gathered th . .a challenge for
the young .ninister's charge
came from tire pastor who loved
him. . .Dr. Combs stood there
watching each Deacon of the
Baptist Church place his hand
in blessing upon the head of
Emmit Floyd, kneeling at the
Altar. . .each one with a Prayer
for this youthful member of >ur
j Church who has given his life
Io Christ in His Service. . .
something welled up so big in
। my heart it was choking me! I
was the only one in the Church
. . .until I realized the tears
were dripping down the back
of the newly painted seat in
front of me. . .and that would
not do. . .and there were his
parents, his young wife and
family. . .1 realized he was nut
MY child. . .even tho those boys
ail belonged to me in the B.T.U.
. . .His mother was never
lovelier. . .yes, her cheeks were
tear stained, as were others in
that Church. . .for most of us
had taught Emmit and those
boys at one time. . and there
is a tie that binds those young
people within the folds of our
hearts. . .Not one of us felt
we had any part in the making
of these young people. . for
GOD FOUND HIS WAY info
their hearts. . .but there was a
prayer of thanksgiving witnin
our hearts for Him, for His lit
tle Wife Katherine, who w.ll
walk side by side with Him. . .
for the Mother who gave him
to us. . .Yes, the First Baptist
Church ordained the first min
ister from her church witnin
many years. . .but four from
that group are LIVING and
working for Him. What a joy. . .
i yes. Covington is blessed, . .
' Covington and Oxford who have
sent forth so many fine men in
the past. . .in the Ministry. . .
