The Church of Christ;
Summerville’s Youngest
-
In May, 1941, Charles Holder,
of Bridgeport, Ala., conducted a
tent meeting on Union Street in
Summerville. This marked the
beginning of the youngest church
of this city, since immediately
thereafter 14 members of the
Church of Christ who had pre
viously worshipped with the
church at Trion began meeting
at the American Legion Hall to
worship on the Lord’s Day. A
few friends—members of the
Trion and Pleasant Grove
Churches of Christ—lent their
support in this early work.
In the summer of 1942 a lot
was purchased on South Com
merce Street. On this site, Jack
McElroy, an evangelist well
knowm throughout the United
States and Canada, conducted
tent meetings for three con
secutive summers. During this
time the small church was great- |
ly handicapped, since six of the i
male members were serving in
I the armed forces. But interest |
: in the work of the Lord was un
wavering and in 1944 the mem
-1 bers decided to erect a church
. building if possible.
On July 5, 1945, Government
| restrictions on building were re
moved, and this announcement
was made at the next prayer
meeting service. Three days later
W. A. Black, of Gadsden, Ala.,
radio speaker and minister of
the gospel, began the church’s
j fifth tent meeting. Wyley Hol
| lingworth, of Glenn Allen, Ala.,
! directed the singing, which large
I crowds enjoyed.
•Tune 30, 1946, was a bright day
in the history of the new church,
since it was then that the first
preaching service was conducted
i in the new building, although it
had not been completed.
Within five years from the
I time the 14 original members
| began to worship in Summer
ville the number increased to 47
members plus children and visi
tors, and the building was com
pleted.
Several ministers who have
preached during the time the
church has been meeting in
Summerville include J. T. Smith
son, Jr., Paul Brock, Grady Slat- |
ton, Sam Connally, Robert Bu- i
ehannon, Gordon Slatton, Ernie;
Fletcher and Sewell Hall. The!
latter, a 16-year-old boy, will be
remembered as an able speaker'
and the grandson of Flavil Hall.!
More recently, Rex Turner, pres-1
ident of Montgomery Bible Col
lege, Montgomery, Ala., preached
at the church. He delivered the
baccalaureate sermon for the
Summerville High School grad
uating class on May 25, 1947.
The recent revival conducted
by Paul Simon came to a close j
with two baptisms and two res
torations. J. A. Salmons, of Chat
tanooga, directed the singing.
This was the second revival
held in the church building. Ii |
was the seventh meeting since j
the beginning of the church in
Summerville in May of 1941.
The Church of Christ has as j
its creed the New Testament. |
Its head is Christ. Its purpose—;
to save the souls of men. Its doc
trine—faith in Christ, repent
ance for past sins, confession of
Christ as the Son of God, bap- j
tism for the remission of sins,
taking the Lord’s Supper on the
first day of the week, and the
i living of a faithful Christian life
!as outlined in the New’ Testa
ment.
This church is the youngest of
; the six congregations of the
j Churches of Christ in Chattooga
I County: the Pleasant Grove con-.
I gregation, founded in 1848, is the
) oldest. The present membership
J is 60, with an attendance of ap
proximately 75.

CARE OF TRACTORS
STRESSED IN 4-H
TRAINING PROGRAM
Four-H Club members in Geor
gia are receiving instruction in
the proper care and mainten
ance of farm tractors as a result
of clinics held in connection with
the 4-H tractor maintenance
program. .
One hundred and Thirty-eight
selected volunteer local 4-H CluD
leaders in Georgia received spe
cial training in this project at
state clinics during 1946 and
1947, according to records of the
National Committee on Boys and
Girls Club Work. Studies at the
clinics include carburetion, ig
nition, cooling systems, lubrica
tion, valve adjustment and oth
er essentials for efficient tractor
operation.
Upon completion of their
course, the local leaders instruct
their county club members in
the proper care ana maintenance
of farm tractors. It is estimated
that 1,100 Georgia 4-H boys have
received this instruction.
Superior records of club boys
taking part in the 1947 program
will be considered for merit
awards provided by the Ameri- ;
can Oil Co. County winners will j
receive sterling silver medals of
honor. The state champion, se
lected from a group of blue
award winners, will receive a trip i
io the Chicago 4-H Club Con
gress. Funds are also provided
for the selected local 4-H leaders
to attend the state clinic.
Last year’s state winner was
John Thomas Brannen. of Portal.

WINTER GRAZING
“GOOD AS GOLD"
AGRONOMIST SAYS
The green gold of winter graz
ing, when transformed into dairy
and beef products, will add fold
ing money to the farmer’s in
come, E. D. Alexander, agrono
[ mist of the Georgia Extension
Service, declared this week in
pointing out that there’s plenty
of the green gold waiting for
Georgia farmers.
Farmers have found in recent
years, Mr. Alexander pointed out,
that it is possible to have good
grazing during the winter and
that production, especially of
milk, has increased tremendous
ly when cows were furnished
such grazing.
North Georgia farmers should
prepare their land at once, the
agronomist pointed out, but
those in South Georgia can wait
until the last of August. County
agricultural agents can supply
full information on producing
winter grazing crops.
CHARITY
We, the people of the County
Home, want to thank the Men’s
Class of the First Baptist Church
for those Christian considera
tions. As the Bible says: The
poor will not always be forgot
ten. The smiles and laughter of
the inmates would have made
any Christian glad of their sal- j
vation and the promises God!
has made to them, 100 folds in
i this present life and in the end
I eternal life. Many thanks to Me.
Morehead, teacher, and Mr.
Frank Prince for delivering sev
j en rocking chairs to the County
| Home. Can’t say more than God
! will bless you all.—Superintend
ent.
Going to a doctor may not help
j some people, but it makes them
! feel better.
