Pastors Report on Spiritual State of the Church

We have only one Sunday School on the Charge. We have begun special efforts for the enlargement of our Sunday School here. A teachers meeting was well attended last week, and this is to be continued. We hope and expect that our school will be a vital agency for the salvation of the boys and girls.
The attendance yesterday was 87, which is sitting the work in advance considerably.
The Epworth league is not doing the best work, but we are making an effort to make it go, and expect to see it move out. We are boosting the Sunday School along with our Thursday evening prayer service and find that the two interests go well together.
The Church services are well attended. The house was fairly well filled yesterday. We received one into the Church at the evening service on Profession of faith, JACK BATTLE.
We have made plans to have a revival meeting either the last of July or first of Aug. and have invited Bo. N. H. MELBERT, pastor at Brenham to assist us. We are confidently expecting the blessing of God upon our Church.
Sincerely
J. C. LANIER, P. C.

Report from the Preacher in Charge on the General state of the Church.

During the past few weeks Mrs. Lee HOLLIS, Mrs. T. P. BATTLE, and MRS. J. C. LANIER have been getting together the children of the junior and intermediate age for Sunday afternoon League work.
Our present difficulty is in finding literature out of which they can be given work suitable to their age.
Our Sunday School here is doing good work, and while there is yet room for improvement and enlargement, it has in the past few months decidedly improved both in attendance and in interest. The present attendance is around a hundred, Sometimes more and again a few under but is increasing both in attendance and in interest with each passing week.
Several of the classes have doubled in average attendance. We had Children's Day Program last Sunday evening. The children rendered an exceptionally fine program to a house filled to the limit. Mrs. Dewit HINES and Mrs. E. H. BROWN superintending.
We have not been preaching as yet expressly to the children, but have laid emphasis upon the necessity for early Christian culture, and expect after the educational programs of the church has been realized, to preach regularly to the children
We have received into the church at North Zulch, Bro. A. N. MCKINZIE, who came by certificate. We have granted certificates to the following people who had moved away and desired to unite with the Churches where they lived. Mr. V. L. WARD, Mrs. V. L. WARD and Mrs. J. F. DAVENPORT.
Our Women's Missionary Society is very much alive and growing. I believe the attendance has at least doubled and a number of new members have been added to the roll. They are doing fine work.
The prayer meeting is well attended. We do not devote the time wholly to prayer and the singing of songs, but we discuss the Sunday school topic for the next Sun., and have a round table discussion, some of the laymen leading
By request of the stewards and other leaders, the date for the revival meeting for Normangee has been set for summer, about July 14th. That for North Zulch has not been set

Report of P. C.

Our Sunday School at Normangee is doing good work.
This being the period of the year for vacations and also for revival meetings, there seems to have been a slackening up in some branches of the work. The regular prayer meeting doesn't meet during a revival meeting at either of the three churches. Also, at these times there are some who go direct to the church at which the revival is in progress, and so do not appear at Sunday School.
There have been several revival efforts at both Normangee and North Zulch. At Normangee we had a good meeting at our Church. They were large crowds in attendance and good attention given thru out the meeting. We baptized two infants, the daughter of Bro. Arthur SANDEL and wife and little Bernice WIMBERLY, daughter of Bro. D. S. WIMBERLY and his wife. We received three into the Church on profession of faith; Mrs. Viola CARTER, Miss Louise FLETCHER, and our own daughter, Emma Lou.
We begin today our revival meeting at North Zulch. Bro. W. O (C?) BUY? from Terrell is to be here tomorrow and will do the preaching, beginning tomorrow night.
We are praying for--working for, and expecting a general moving up of the whole church work. The Church at Normangee had a great spiritual uplift.

Report of Pastor on general state of the Church

We believe the general state of the church on the charge is good. Our League here is getting some new life. Out of the corps of new teachers for this year we are fortunate in having a young lady, Miss BAY added to our League forces. There is a certain lassitude --a spirit of relaxation, which comes with summer, and which affects church activities, and which our own church has not entirely escaped, on this account the S. S. attendance is not up to the high water mark of the spring just passed. On the whole however, the work of the church is going on with regularity and punctuality.
Since last quarterly conference we have organized one good Sunday School. We began at Hollis following a good meeting in the summer, and started with a membership of 62. The membership has since grown to 100 or more.
We have received into the church on profession of faith the following new members this quarter six altogether; Mrs. Jerry SMITH, Howard POTEET, Ethel POTEET, Clara Bell POTEET--MIDDLETON & HIBBITS. We have also received one by letter and one by vows.
The Woman's Missionary Society is doing good work. The ladies are working faithfully at the job. Some new material has been added during the past quarter.
We hope to wind up the year’s work on a hundred per cent basis.

To the Presiding Elder and members of the first Quarterly Conference of Normangee Charge, Marlin District, Texas Conference
Dear Brethren:
I submit the following. We have one League, while small we are expecting good to be done among our young people through this channel.
Sunday School-- We have two schools. One at Normangee which is doing good work, though not what we can do and will do when the weather gets settled.
Spiritual State---- We are not what we should be by a great deal. Our congregations have been very good and I think increasing. The weather has hindered quite a lot.
We have received three by certificate, Mrs. D. W. GARDNER, Walton, and Aletha GARDNER
Pastoral visits---95 We always try to look after the children and the sick, We have made The children of today is the Church of tomorrow.
Brethren join me in prayer for a great revival. My prayer and slogan is a great revival in each home so that the charge can truly be a great factor in the District for good, and early collections of the claims ordered by the Annual Conference. Yes----and a family alter in each home.
Respectfully

Dear Brethren I submit the following: We have two Leagues: both are moving along nicely and doing good work, and we are planning for much and lasting good to be accomplished among our young people. Our people must be loyal if we expect God to bless us.
Sunday School: We have two, one at Hollis, and one at Normangee. So far as I can learn the school at Hollis is well attended. The Normangee Sunday School is growing under the leadership of E. C. PHIFER, who is very much interested in this great work to which he has been assigned.
The pupils as a whole are taking more interest than usual in Sunday School work. We try to get the children to stay for church.
Spiritual state of Church: The general condition of the Church is not what it should be by any measure nor what it could be, While it is true the congregations are growing and seem to be interested. We are looking forward and praying for and out pouring of the Holy Spirit and expecting a great number to be saved and unite with the Church.

Dear Brethren:
I submit the following--
We have two Leagues. The seniors are going forward under the leadership of Miss FLETCHER. They are taking more interest than usual. Hence we are expecting much to be done through this arm of the church. Juniors: This band of workers are being lead by Miss DUNKLIN, whose head and heart is full of plans for the Masters Kingdom. So we are expecting great things of these young leaguers.
Sunday School---We have one school, which is moving up to greater and better work than usual. The school as a whole is moving forward and trying to accomplish some thing. Brother PHIFER is anxious for all to do their best, that much good may be accomplished. The children are being looked after along with other lines of work of the pastor, for we are aware of the fact that ere long these children will be the church.
Prayer meeting: This arm of the church is growing in numbers and in interest. I am very proud to say.
Spiritual state of the church: I think as a whole we are an average church going people. While it is true there are some who go but little, yet they go to other things. I am frank to say I don’t understand why they do not attend church.
