Howdy, Folks
BY REV. B. L. BETTS
FOURTH QUARTERLY
CONFERENCE—
Next Sunday, Nov. 5, is the date
set for our fourth quarterly confer
ence of the charge at Oak Hill.
Many interesting things always oc
cur at such a meeting.
AT OAK HILL—
While the morning service will be
devoted to worship in the Sunday
school, preaching by the district
superintendent and quarterly con
erence, let’s not forget the evening
M. Y. F., prayer service and preach
ing.
AT BERRYTON—
A fine attendance for our mem
bership at Berryton greeted me last
Sunday morning.
I went home with good old How
ard Pickle, Miss Purney, Brother
Neely and Brother Carl Vernon. As
fine a dinner as the president had
was set before me and I thought it
was great. It is probable that gen
erations ago the Pickle family got
their name for being great pickle
makers. Miss Purney is living up
to the standard set her by the an
cestors.
AT LYERLY—
An excellent group of young peo
ple met for their service, which I
attended in Lyerly. Miss Louise
Busbin was in charge and doing a
good job with splendid co-opera
tion.
AT SUMMERVILLE—
Since I had no preaching appoint
ment for fifth Sunday night, I de
cided to hear the Rev. Wilson J.
Culpepper in Summerville. He
asked me to preach and I spoke to
a congregation of splendid people.
Brother Culpepper is to preach at
Lyerly next fifth Sunday night,
provided the two of us are returned
to our present charges.

heads expand because they heard
the scholarly Christian, Wilson Jef

carry a supply of thick cotton pads
for the hat bands of the folks whose
heads shrink because they do not
hear him preach.
JOHN RICKETT—
The sad news of John Rickett’s
supreme sacrifice on the field of
battle reached us Saturday. I re

many courtesies to me at Oak Hill
and elsewhere. His loved ones have
my sympathy, and prayer from my
heart has gone to the throne of
God for them.
SANTA CLAUS—
Busbin turnips and Pickle greens,
the kind you can really pickle,
cheered the hearts and appetites
of the parsonage family this week.
