All officials were present at the
council meeting. Several things
were discussed that we hope to
carry out soon. This is one of
the most important parts of the
League work.
There will be a fine program
every Sunday night that will be
interesting and enpyable to all.
Mrs. Greenway will entertain
the Leaguers the first Friday night
of October at her home. All
members are cordially invited.
The program for next Sunday
night will be led by Miss Grace
Palmer.
Some people say: “Well, the
League is for the young people, so
I will not go because I won’t be
any help," If you feel that way
about it you come to be the audi.
tors, and the young people will
carry on the program.
The League will accept the op¬
portunity offered by the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate to publish
news in their oaper. The editor
of this news in the Advocate is
known by the delegates who went
to Oxford. He is a very fine in¬
telligent young man, and Ins work
is for the good of the North
Georgia Leaguers.
The prayer services are very suc¬
cessful now. We wish that more
people would attend, especially the
plder people.
He lives! Again he lives,
I hear the voice of love;
lie comes to soothe our fears,
And draw my soul above,
Joyful now the strain should be,
When I sing of Calvary.

Great Divines and Noted Men
Attend Home Coining Day
Cleveland enjoyed the assem¬
bling cf some great divines and
noted business men at the home¬
coming and dedication of the
Cleveland Baptist Church last
Sundoy.
Our town was particularly for¬
tunate in having that distinguished
divine, Dr. F. C. McConnell, talk
here, if it was but for a few
minutes.
Dr. McConnell, it will be re¬
called, was horned and reared in
Hiawassee. He expressed how
glad be was to be back in Cleve¬
land. He said that while he was
at Hiawassee lie saw every family
of that town a member of the Bap¬
tist Church. His subject was :
“The Glorious Church.” He
spoke very forcefully of the neces¬
sity of church attendance.
Col. A. II. Henderson very
beautifully welcomed the distin¬
guished men and the response was
made by Rev. C. W. Henderson.
Rev. John F. Purser, ot Atlanta,
preached a very powerful sermon
at x i A. M.
Basket dinner was served at
12 130 by the ladies, and it was in
abundance and of the very best.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Com¬
merce, whose generousness made it
possible for this new church to be
buiit, addressed this gathering just
after dinner. He read tile 18th
chapter of Ezekiel. Ilis address
was based on opportunity and re¬
sponsibility, which lie handled so
splendidly that some of the minis¬
ters remarked they envied him be¬
cause he could preach better than
they could. In discussing these
two words he asked many ques¬
tions that deal with vital cornmun
ty development.
Rev. C. VV. Henderson very
forcefully told of how to build a
“Greater Church Community,”
Rev. Fred Eaton said that the
Pastor could be stationed at Cleve¬
land if the members desired it, as
this church was the hub of the
White County Association. It is
said work will soon be commenced
to make it possible for him to be
stationed here.
Judge J. W. II. Underwood
gave a short history of the church
and we wili publish it in full at a
later issue.
Judge Underwood informs us
that a movement is on foot now to
have Dr. Geo. W. Truett and Dr.
F. C. McConnell here next summer. j
