North Carolina

By R. T. Nash

MAPLE GROVE CHURCH.—This church was organized near Cleveland, N. C., Sabbath, May 28, by Elders G. W. Wells and J. O. Johnston, and the writer. It starts out with a membership of twenty-two, all but three of this number being new in the truth. On May 28 the new church building was dedicated to God's service. Ten months and eighteen days from the opening meeting, the organization was complete, and the church and school building was dedicated. A number are keeping the Sabbath who have not yet united with the church.

The church building is a neat frame structure twenty by thirty feet, with an ell sixteen by eighteen feet for school purposes. Folding doors separate the two rooms, which can be used as one room should occasion arise.

Elders Wells and Johnston helped in holding a two days' meeting, at which time the organization was completed, including the ordination of its officers. The ordinances were also celebrated.

As the work here is now organized, I feel free to go to High Point, where I have been called to help in a tent effort.
