THE CLEVELAND COURIER
VOL. XXVII, No. \8.1
Epwortb league mews
Miss Mary Lou Sutton is leader
for Sunday night.
There was no Sunday School or
League services lint Sunday on
account of bad weather.
The prayer services are still pro¬
gressing.
During the year of 1925 < we are
going to give Cleveland and the
surrounding community the best
League that has ever been since it
was organized. But Leaguers we
can’t do this by just picking out
the easy things. We have got to
stick togetherj through thick and
thin.
Don’t stay home for fear the
church will not be warm fo.r Sun¬
day School Prayer Meeting or
League because the church will be
heated good regardless of weather.
If you haven’t payed your
dues for 1924 please do so as
soon as possible. 1 thank you.
The meeting of the official of the
Charge 1 at Cleveland on the 4th
Sunday evening was a great success
and a good time was hau by 9I).
You must grow in the love of
God by means of root, rather than
tire branches.
Faith in the holiness of God is
the fir*t uplifting force in religion.
There is hope for greatest sinner
who emu see the immaculate purity
of God in contrast with his own
sins. The vision of the sinless one
reveals to us the sinfulness of our
sins. .
A True freedom has to do with the
^Ppiritual part of man, with, that
principle in him through which he
is related to God. That can be
free even though the body be load
ed with chains. It was so with
St. Paul as with all other good and
great men.

Adjt. T. V. Glover is becoming
somewhat unnerved because t he
boys are-not paying their dues for
1924 as last as they sliouln, brat
least as fast as he would like to see
them. Buddies, don’t let Buddy
Glover have a nervous breakdown
just because yon are slow in paying
your dues for 1925. Buddy Glover
wants to see W hite County Post
membership increase greatly and is
and is working hard to that end.
Give him your help.
White County Post is anxious to
serve all ex-service men. Is you

General Frank T. Mines, head of
the Veterans' Bureau, spent several

Asheville long enough to see that
conditions were improved.
The next .meeting of White
County Post will be at Helen. A
good attendance is desired.
To Our White County Buddies:
You remember the days “111
France”when we marched through
mud and rain; when'any place we
had the privilege to lie down was
our bed ; when our “pup” tent was
our mansion ; when. we hiked for
miles with’ a heavy pack until a
plate ef. “spuds” tasted like a deli¬
cious plate prepared for the Presi¬
dent’s family; when we lay in the
trenches for days and nights with
unlimited numbers of “cooties” to
keep us active without much good
no comfort but with zeal and spirit
to conquer that knew no defeat.
You remember our lpyalty and
sacrifice to each other that had no
limit. Remember now, Buddy,
the American Legio wants to pre¬
serve the memories and incidents of
our association during the war and
wants to help serve your needs and
in return it needs you and your
help.
The White County Post No. 12
welcomes you and when we can be
of service to you call on us.
T. V. Glover, Adjt.

Pinnacle Mountain School *
Bums Tuesday
The main building ot Pinnacle
Mountain School was totally con¬
sumed by fire about 5 p. m. Tues¬
day.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is thought to have been de¬
fective wiring,
The building is heated by a fur¬
nace in the basement and it is im¬
possible to have caught from the
heating system. The fire origi¬
nated in the top of the building.
Most of the personal belongings
of the pupils, the bedding and the
records in the office were saved.
The building was insured for
$15,000, but it is said this is only
about half the value.

dent of the school, says plans are
being worked out for the continu¬
ation of the school.

housed in buildings on the property
of Mr. Kellum,
CIRCUIT NOTES
It was mighty like bad weather
last Sunday, but if it had been the
prettiest day of the year we would
not have filled our appointment at
Mossy Creek because we were in
bed sick, under doctor’s orders to
stay there for a day or two at least,
We try our dead level best not to
miss any of our appointments but
sickness and bad weather will pre¬
vent sometimes.
The asssessment for
Conference work, ibrnmunly
conference claims, for this charge
have been changed so that all
Lay Leaders who received their as¬
sessments will please not collect it
right away, as that is not all of it,
but wait until I send the new
quota. They have cut off quite a
few dollars on each church.
I would be glad if all the Golden
Cross Directors who have sent in
their duota or any part of it would
let me know the amount as soon as
possible. I want to see whether
the charge has paid out or not and
if not how much we lack.
The Pastor will preach at Nacoo
chee next Sunday at 11 a. m., Mou
at 3 p. m. and at the Institute at
7:30 p. in., health and weather
permitting.
