MT. TABOR BAPTIST

Rev. J. N. Byrd, pastor

Helen A. Franklin, reporter

Friend, tourist, if you have not a church home, join this church— "the home of fellowship."

Sunday past was a day of holiness, beginning with the Sunday School which was opened by Sister Gorgene Lambert, teacher of class No. 1. Teacher and scholars exchanged beautiful thoughts on the Ten Commandments.

At 11 a.m. a soothing prayer meeting was led by Deacon E. Scott, the male choir led in singing and Sister Blue chimed the organ. The pastor carried all to the throne of grace. Two were added to the church: Little Sharon Heard and Bro. Fad Ross.

Among the visitors were the following representatives of the Atlanta Life Insurance Co., Mmes. Georgia L. Jones, Blanche McKenzie, M. L. Long, Mary Eddings, Miss Blanche Terry, Mr. Willie Sorey. All worshipped with Mrs. J. E. Grant and J. H. Portlock, Jr., manager of the company. The visitors were welcomed by Bro. Waldon.

The BTU had a lovely program at 5:30 p.m., Deacon H. Heard, director. Workers are needed in the vineyard. Teachers that give you their best are Sis. Cantrell, Sis. Roberts, Sis. Byrd and Sis. Powell. Come out on Sunday.

All were benefited through the prayer service at 7:30. A touching sermon was delivered by Bro. J. P. Waldon, text Prov. 4:7, subject, "The Understanding Heart."

Chicken dinner will be sold in the dining room Saturday. You may call PL 4-6303, PL 1-6732 or NE 5-5689. This is for the benefit of Woman's Day, Mrs. Sylvia Butler, chairman.
