Pembroke Methodists are hav- I
ing the opportunity this week of
hearing the Rev. Harold C. Raines,
pastor of the First Methodist
Church in Claxton. The Claxton
pastor is conducting a week-long
revival for the Rev. Clinton Ward.
Not only are Methodists enjoy
ing the evangelistic sermons de
livered by the personable pastor,
but people of all churches in the
town have been turning out to hear
him. The message brought each
night reflects the fervor and sin
cerity of the speaker which is felt
by his entire congregation.
The morning devotionals at 7:30 ■
have been described by those at
tending as giving a real moral and
spritual boost throughout the en
tire day. The morning worship is
over promptly at 8 o’clock and is
held early so that business and
school people might attend.
Song leader throughout the week I
is A. CL Downs, Claxton. Mr. |
Downs is well known in Pembroke
and has for many years had a
reputation of being a song leader.
Adults and children have responded
to his enthusiasm and the song
services have made a real contri
bution to the revival.
The choir of adults and young
people has ably asisted Mr. Downs
and will continue during the rest
of the week. Mrs. R. M. Monts,
Jr. at the organ and Mrs. H. M.
Sanders at the piano are both
generous in lending their talents.
The public is invited to continue
attending the services at 7:30 ia
the morning and at 7:30 at night.
