FORMER PASTOR
LIKES NEW CHARGE
Rev. A. H. Dulaney Writes Inter
estingly of Mis New Field
of Labor at Wilson
Dear Journal. —I reached my
new appointment at Wilson on
Saturday night before Christmas,
and found the pastor of the pre
ceding year still here. Sunday he
gave me a very cordial introduc
tion to about twenty children and
about four grown people who had
gathered for Sunday school. After
a short lesson most of them dis
banded and their places were fill
ed by about twenty others. 1
preached as best as I could, being
very hoarse from cold. At the
evening service several more came
to hear the new pastor. The next
day was real cold and snowy, but
I went out and met quite a num
ber of the people. The next day I
left for Fulton, Ky., to see my
wife and daughter, spending the
holidays with them, and returned
to Wilson in time for services the
first Sunday in January. But on
my arrival I found the town quar
antined on account of meningitis
and it took some little persausion
to get the guards to let me off the
train. All public services were pro
hibited so we had no services un
till the second Sunday in January.
But on that day at the ringing of
the hell there came twenty to
Sunday school and a good congre
gation for preaching sendee, both
morning and evening. Y\ e have
a beautiful church which cost
about £9,000. It has several separ
ate rooms which we are using for
our classes, pastor’s study, library,
etc. \Yre expect to organize an Ep
worth League and a Missionary
Society right soon. I think this is
the greatest field for set vice here
that I have ever seen. I am pray
ing earnestly that we may be able
to enter it and harvest the golden
grain.
I have been in more than 60
homes besides going into the mills,
offices and stores. 1 lind some
good people here. We have a very
fine board of stewards to labor
with us, not only looking well af
ter the finances, but the spiritual
side of the church as well. This is
a hard field of labor but one of
great possibilities. There had been
no prayer meeting here for more
than a year. At our first meeting
there were two conversions. One
joined the church and several oth
ers expect to join.
There are many other things 1
might say concerning my work
here that are interesting to me
but perhaps not so interesting to
you. My interests of course are
centered here now, but I have a
very deep interest in the people of
Newark, whom 1 served and loved
beyond measure, and it is with the
keenest interest that I watch for
the coming of The Journal on Fri
day morning. I was delighted to
see the missionary program of the
League to be rendered Sunday
evening January 26. I have failed
to notice any of the meetings of
the Missionary Society but I trust
it is still running with renewed
enthusiasm. I see many good
things about the new pastor and I
trust he will have a great year
with the good people of Newark,
that he will have their cooperation
and I am sure that he will for no
pastor ever labored with a more
faithful and loyal people than the
people of Newark. May God bless
and greatly prosper all the people
this year. Pray for me and my peo
ple here. A. H. Dulaney.
Wilson, Arkansas.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
NEED MORE MONEY
Treasurer of County Association
Urges Schools to Assist the
State Organization
To the Sunday School Superin
tendents of Independence county:
It is just two months until the
State Sunday School Association
will meet at Batcsville.
Our county is assesed $100 to
help maintain the association. We
have workers in the field who are
devoting their entire time to the
Sunday school cause, and they
must have financial aid at once. I
am notified that unless we can
send some money this month the
Sunday school work will be largely
a failure for this year.
Independence county has not
paid anything as yet. Some time
ago I wrote to a number of schools
asking for money, but I have re
cieved nothing. Now, brethren,
are you going to allow the Sunday
school cause in the state of Arkan
sas to suffer for l&ck of funds?
Are you going to allow the state
Association at Batesville to be a
failure by failing to support it?
Or will you rally to its support
and send in some money at once?
The association is in debt and
are depending upon the Sunday
schools to help them. I want very
much to make a payment by the
last of the month, but unless you
do your duty I cannot.
Hoping you will make remit
tance at once, I am,
Yours for Better Sunday Schoo!s
