Such a man was Joseph W. Sauls, who was called home to Glory in the year 1920. Brother Sauls was born and reared in Randolph County, and there he spent his entire life and raised a large and useful family. He became converted, joined the church, was baptized and soon afterwards began to preach and was ordained as a minister of the Gospel, and served a number of churches in the Bethel Association. In his own home church and community he was most useful. The lives of such men as this are jewels and they become the very foundation of the church and community life wherever they live.
