 Barry Co., MO - Pastor's Letter

Dear Gem Readers: --Just a short report from the little church we try to pastor.

Yesterday was our regular day there (May 24^th).  We had fine services Saturday night and Sunday. There are from fifty to sixty attending Sunday School. Sixty-nine were present at Sunday School last Sunday.  I believe it is one of the liveliest country Sunday Schools anywhere.

On Sunday there was a big dinner at Bro. Austin’s home, which was enjoyed by all.  Then in the afternoon the New Hope Singing class visited the people at that place and sang several selections for us. We are always glad to have visitors.

Sunday night we had a flower service and nearly every one took part in it. The Lord’s power was wonderfully manifested in this Service.

This coming 5^th Sunday at eleven o’clock I am going to hold a memorial service at the Concord Church, a little over six miles west of Exeter.

The fourth Sunday in June there will be a Children’s Day program at Merl’s Chapel church with all-day service and dinner on the grounds. Everybody is welcome.

Mrs. Merl Robberson Wright
