Precedent Set By Naming Women To Posts Here For First Time In a most impressive ceremony tive deacons were ordained last }unday at the Church of the Rock, | 335 Francis Street. They were then mstalled together with four other deacons who had been previously ordained. This church has taken an unusual step for the southern} church in that three of the deacons ordained were women. While the | USA Presbyterian Church and the Congregational churches accept wo- men as deaconesses, the southern churches have not as yet authoriz-| ed this step. The women so honor-| ed were, Mrs. Walter Bell, Mrs. Joseph I. Brent and Mrs. Emory Harris. Next Sunday the Session has authorized the ordaination of Wil- liam W. Hill, who with six others will be regularly installed as of- ficers of the new church. The of- ficers have expressed their satis- faction of the progress made in the church and are grateful for the interest and assistance of- fered by their many friends. Next Sunday morning the Sunday | “School will meet at the regular| hour ten o’clock, and Mr. Hill, the | Superintendent, has promised class- es for all age groups. The Pioneers, under direction of the Board of Re- ligious Education with Mrs. Ruth Jackson as Adult Advisor, have in- stalled a ping pong table during the Daily Vacation Bible School, and will have recreational attrac- tions besides the regular devotional periods which meet each Sunday evening at 6:30 p. m. Sunday morning the Rev. Ralph Rogers will preach at the regular wofship service beginning at elev- en o'clock. His subject will be, “Is there no Balm in Gilead?” It seems that in olden times there | was found a magic balsam in Gil-| ead which would cure many diseas- | es. The balsa disappeared and the physicians apparently lost the | s prescription so that there was no hope of recovery from the old rem- edies. Modern man may not be/s suffering from the same ailments but today the diseases are of the mind. and heart. The only cure is | in the blood of Jesus Christ, SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.
