Baptist Church Notes At Cliffside Community

The Cliffside Baptist notes report a fine Bible study first held at the church led by Pastor R C Smith, with broad welcome to all denominations. The Sunday School conference in Greenville caused Thursday night meetings to be postponed, and Rev. Smith preached two notable sermons. Harry Ingram joined during morning service as Creation topic spoke, and Carl Marsh of Campbell College will preach next Sunday. The W M A met, the Men’s Bible Class elected new officers, and four group captains were appointed to organize members into balanced groups.
