CHURCH SETSJECOONITION
Methodist Episcopal Church Gat
Award For work Done
Bellwood Methodists had on exhibition in the church lecture room
last Sunday B certificate of recognition recieved from tte Board of
Education of the church, located at
Chicago. The certificate was awarded for work done by the local
-chuaeh in its program of training
for "Leadership in the Christian
Task" carried oa since March, 1036,
nearly two years ago. It was the
first of its kind to be given to any
local  church in Methodism.
In addition to tte award, the local
church is used as an example of
what may be done in a pamphlet issued by the board on the subject,
whah haa wide circulation. The
article states that the need for
such work became apparent when a
number of young people, without
opportunity for any teacher training, were called to'teach in children's division. A short course, complete by fifteen young people, was
the first activity, :
Then a course on "How to Discover and Educate Leaders for
Christian Service," was suggested
by Mrs. William H. Moore, president of the Home Missionary society. The pastor, tte Rev. J. M.
Brennan, and a committee committee composed of R. M. Baker,
Mrs. Moore and Miss Nellie Givin,
outlined the course, completed by
eighteen leaders in church work. A
seven-point program was adopted—
evangelistic effort, richer devotional life in tte home, stewardship
education, education concerning finances, definite sevice activities,
workers conference and church
nights, followup  on absentees.
The church night a**, ilea* have
been popular.^*? Family devotions

months the fleet-footed animals can

weather waa encountered. Despite
the weather conditions thousands of
hunters braved the elements and
ware out ta tte woods and thickets.
It a-reported tha* thousands' of
deer, were killed, and ttat they are
still to be f tee la great numbers
ia most all counties in the commonwealth. Doe deer abound ia targe

tare not permitting any grass to
grow Under ttea feet. Mow that
tab Altoona Pennsylvania -railroad
shops are idle, since November 10,
with but two week's work scheduled for December and nothing for
1938, the new deal having consummated its iniojuities, tte Blair county Republicans are convincing those
who could not f-orsee the calamity,
that after all Republican rule a
best for tte workers.
Ae a proper phase of ttea campaign, they have started a boom for
Judge. Marion D. Patterson for tte
Republican nomination for governor next year.
It a encouraging that ha fellow
citizens see in Judge Patterson the
merits he possesses and ha eminent
fitness for any office to which he
might be chosen.
It will be recalled that Judge Patterson waa second man In the primary of 1986 for nomination for
Supreme Court justice. The strength he displayed in that campaign
commanded imm-adiate attention
thou|ghoujt Blair county, and ha reelection as president judge of tte
courts of Btaa county for ten years
a further evidence of ha popularity among ha home people.
Judge Patterson's capabilities
commend him for tte governorship
and ha record at the polls commend him ap candidate.
The foregoing isfrom last week's
issue of the Perry County Times
published down in New Bloomfield.
tt shows that Judge ' Patterson a
held in high esteem ia all parte of
the commonwealth and more especially' ta the Central part of the
state. Four years ago he waa a
formidable candidate for the nomi-
ntion of governor oa the Republican ticket, -but withdrew a few
weeks previous to the primary.
Should he again come before tte
people in 19S8 he will have a strong
claim to present, and a reasonable
conjecture a ttat he would receive
tte nomination and be triumphantly elected.
Judge Patterson a one of the
nrgost highly esteemed citisens ef
BUir county, a native son, and
comes from a line of ancestors that
has been prominent ta the affairs of
the county for mors than oae bun*'
