Splendid Annual Report
The Board of Christian Education
of the Pleasant Mound Methodist
Church and Sunday School has re-
leased the annual report covering
period October 1, 1940 to September
30th 1941. During this period 12014
members attended Sunday school for
an average of 231 per Sunday. This
compares with an average of 218
per Sunday for year 1939-40 and
average of 180 per Sunday 1938-39.
During the year just closed Pleas-
ant Mound Methodist Sunday school
raised a total of $1134.18, the high-
est in the history of the Sunday
school. $127.00 was contributed to
World Service compared with $36.00
previous year. The membership
should be proud of the achievements
of the Sunday school during the past
year. While there are still many
wrinkles to be ironed out and im-
provements made Pleasant Mound
Methodist has a Board of Christian
Education that is going forward on
solid ground, and no doubt this year
achievements will far exceed those
of the closing year.

Service of Pleasant Mound Method-
ist Church met at the Church Tues-

ness meeting. The following mem-

BUILDS A GREATER GULF SOUTH
★ It takes more than the work of any one man or organization to build a great industrial
region. It is a job for everybody.
^ For instance, United Gas Pipe Line Company is carrying out a program to help attract new
industries to this area and to develop greater opportunities for industries already here.
Included in this program are monthly full-page advertisements in national magazines, mailed
advertising, and personal interviews with industrialists in various parts of the country
