GARY
I
We very much appreciate
the following write-up of Cale-
donia from Rev. W. T. Gray
who was with us several weeks
ago. The touch of Bro. Gray’s
life in this community will not
only be a blessing now but will
live on and on.
A Rural Church That la
Putting Over a Great Program
Caledonia church, an after-
noon appointment on the Garri-
son Circuit, Nacogdoches Dis-
trict, Texas Conference with
Rev. J. I. Weatherby, pastor,
is doing this very thing. On
invitation of Gary Sanford, one
of the great laymen of our
church, 1 visited this communi-
ty and spent Saturday night in
the home of Ur. and Mrs. San-
ford, the father and mother of
Gary Sanford, and worshiped
with the good people at their
.little church at the morning
service on the fourth Sunday
of May. I had heard of the
splendid work of this church
but had not thought of such a
splendid work being carried
out by'a country church.
This church is a community
center, with the equipment of
a modem play ground where
the children gather on the Sat-
urday afternoons and have a
good time under the super-
vision of some responsible per-
son. Besides the church
building them is an education-
al building on the grounds
where entertainment is pro-
vided for the young people of
the community. Three Friday
nights of each month the
young people are entertained
by the older ones and one Fri-
day night of each month is
church night, where all the
people, young and old, come
together for an hour or two of
entertainment. The young
people are finding such whole-
some entertainment at these
socials that they are not going
to the dances. of the nearby
communities.
These people have Canning
Clubs, one for women and an-
other for the girls, with a
well'equipped canning factory,
where fruits and vegetables
. are put up for their home use.
Occasionally the use of the can-
ning factory is extended to all
the ladies of the community
who are not members of the
club, and many of the women
who could not put up their
fruits and vegetables are en-
abled by this courtesy to have
an abundance of both.
Another matter of great in-
terest is the splendid work
that is being done looking to
the health of the people of the
community. A graduate nurse,
who is also a graduate of Scar-
ritt College at Nashville, is em-
ployed and she gives her time
to looking after the health con-
ditions of the people of thg
community. A clinic is being
held frequently and a record
is kept of the condition of the
children. This consecrated
young woman (the nurse) is
helping the poor mothers make
their homes more sanitary and
in her personal contact with
the mothers, she is leading
many of them to the Christ I
have not found a more religious
people anywhere. If this pro-
gram coaid be put on in all of
our churches, I feel sure that
we would have a great im-
provement in the class of our
• citizens in another generation.
The young people are not
only interested in the social
entertainment provided for
them by the older people, but
they are greatly interested in
the Sundav school and church
work. I have not seen quite
so many young people and
children in a church service
any where as I had on the
morning that I was with the
Caledonia people. The good
work that is being done by this
country church is. not altogeth-
er due to the efforts of the pas-
tor or pastors, they have done
their part well but being an af-
ternoon appointment where
they go only two Sundays a
monrrh, they cannot do a great
deal in this particular church.
There are many fine people
in the community, but there is
one outstanding family—the
Sanfords. Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
Sanford, their son, Gary San-
ford, and two married daugh-
ters. and their in-laws. The
Sanfords are an educated peo-
ple as well as the in-laws, and
all of them sre active in lb“
work of the Snnday school and

church. This is a case where
people capable of leader-
ship are really leading in all
the good things . that go to
make' up an ideal community,
but the one great leader in the
Caledonia church and commu-
nity is Mrs. C. E. Sanford.
(Mr. C. E. Sanford is a Baptist
and a very fine Christian char-
acter but is giving his efforts
to his own church work.) Mrs.
Sanford is really a great
woman and it is through her
vision and sacrifice that this
great program is being put
over. Half of the salary
is being paid by this
good woman. 'Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. 3anford, besides the
work of leading in all church
work in their community, have
educated eleven young men
and women, besides their own
children and they - have two
very bright orphan girls in
th¥ir home now whom they are
educating.
God bless these good people
and multiply their tribe.
It was a great pleasure
socially and blessing spiritually
to have had this opportunity lo
visit in this good home and I
shall be glad when 1 have an
opportunity to go that way
again. W. T. Gray.
