METHODISTS WILL SECURE PIPE ORGAN
----------------------------
   Some time ago the pastor of the Methodist church, Dr. [E. M.] GLENN, made application to the 
Carnegie Corporation of New York City for the gift of a pipe organ for this church. The Carnegie 
people generously responded with a proposition to donate $1125 towards the purchase of an 
instrument to cost not less than $2,250.
   At a church conference held Sunday morning [30 May 1915] the church empowered the pastor to 
name the committees—one to negotiate for an organ and decide upon the make, style, cost, etc., 
the second to be a committee on ways and means, or in other words, a finance committee.
   Mr. GLENN announces on the first committee the following ladies and gentlemen:

Mrs. L. L. VANN,
Mrs. J. W. RADNEY,
Miss Fannie DOBBS,
Dr. W. W. STEVENSON,
Messrs. J. P. RADNEY and A. A. MOOTY.

On the second committee:

Messrs.
A. M. AWBREY,
E. M. MOORE,
R. J. HOOTON,
R. W. GRIFFIN,
W. T. A. HUEY,
Paul LANE,
W. Y. CHEWNING [Mayor of Roanoke] and
Dr. J. T. STRIPLIN,
Mrs. F. M. HORNSBY,
Mrs. S. H. TATUM,
Miss Maggie RAY,
Miss Margaret SCHUESSLER,
Miss Sarah BRITTAIN.

By action of the conference the pastor was made ex-officio chairman of both committees.
   This is a matter of interest to the entire community and presents a rare opportunity 
to the Methodist people.
