A Happy New Year by Rev Tom Alderman Sykes
The preacher laments the mockery of wishing a Happy New Year while many suffer and urges true Christian Reality. He calls for deeper faith, spiritual growth, and unity among High Point churches to serve new residents and expand church work in 1926. He praises local church plans and thanks citizens for support and the High Point Enterprise platform.
