Lineville Headlight June 25, 1931
Dear Editor:
Please allow me to report in your paper, The Headlight, to the general public 
the program rendered at Pleasant Hill M. E. Church Sunday June 21. 
The writer arrived on the scene at 9:15 finding a record-breaking crowd, people 
still kept coming, some in buggies, wagons, cars and Mr. Editor these 
conveyances were too limited to accommodate. The people and the bus was drafted 
into service. By ten o'clock the house was well filled, and many on the outside, 
and people still arriving. 
Bro. D. B. Perry, chairman of the program committee called the house to order at 
10 o'clock by singing a song after which prayer was offered by Bro. Halpin. The 
program was then in full force. Miss Stella Halpin had charge of the program. 
With the fine spirit of cooperation and willingness upon the part of everyone 
Miss Halpin led the host or little folks and grownups over the top with great 
success. The program consisted of readings, Duets, quartets, and drills, all of 
which the writer considered very appropriate for the occasion. The good people 
on the New Home Charge was with us bringing their program following our program 
this program was rendered also its leader being Bro. Parker a very fine 
Christian spirited gentleman and a fine program it was. This brought us to 
11:45. The writer spoke for 30 minutes, at 12:15 we were dismissed for lunch and 
oh such eats Mr. Editor you should have been there. Everyone was satisfied even 
the writer, and Uncle Bud White. After lunch had been served enough was gathered 
up of the leftovers to serve another such crowd it was claimed, and the writer 
does not question the statement. After lunch the people met back in the house 
and how did sing, using the old class song books. Several good leaders were 
present. It was said by some of the oldest citizens who are acquainted with 
Pleasant Hill Church this was the greatest day the Church has had in 31 years. 
We do not claim the honor but share it with all our good Baptist friends and 
neighbors and all who contribute to the success, or this day Perfect quietness 
prevailed throughout day.
