Coos Ministerial
Assn. Met Monday
Th« Coos County Ministerial asso­
ciation held an interesting meeting
Monday at Pioneer Methodist church.
Fifteen ministers, representing a va­
riety of denominations, attended the
meeting. Chief speaker on the pro­
gram was Rev. William Burgoyne, of
Marshfield, who reported on his
travels in the Holy Land. Miss Jo­
sephine Neal, of Portland, who is
organising child evangelism classes in
local Sunda} schools, spoke of the
work she is doing. Rev. Mr. Rosen-
kilde, of Bandon, reviewed th« book,
"Can Christianity Save Civilization,”
written by Horton.
During the business meeting, asso­
ciation members voted to sponsor a
bill to be presented to the state legis­
lature which would exempt blind
property holders from paying taxes
on property assessed at 11,000 or less
This exemption, acording to the bill,
would apply on property owned by
the widows of blind men. Plans were
made to secure used magazines to
send to local CCC camps. Many of
the churches represented agreed to
develop Christmas programs to pre­
sent at CCC camp« in this locality.
The group voted to make plans for the
National Preaching Mission to be
held the last of February and first
part of March, at which time church««
Pioneer church was completely
filled Saturday afternoon with an
assemblage of friends of George W.
Bryant who gathered to pay their
final respect to the memory of one
whom they honored and admired,
and this writer cannot recall any fun­
eral service where so large a percen­
tage of those attending were men as
was the one Saturday.
The floral display was beautiful
and in the greatest profusion, with
numerous set pieces from organiza­
tions to which Mr. Bryant belonged,
and a beautiful floral pillow on which
the word “unde” was spelled with
smaller flowers.
Mrs. Roy Barton, accompanied by
Mrs. M. O. Hawkins at the organ,
rendered two vocal numbers, and the
Episcopal burial service was deliv­
ered by Rev Charles M. Guilbert,
Pallbearers were Dr. R. F. Milne,
Ray Jeub, Fred Kunz, A. N. Gould,
W. E. Bosserman and H. A. Young.
Interment was in the Masonic Ceme­
tery.
