Page 3 FALCON CAMP MEETING AUDITORIUM

Remodeling and air conditioning the Falcon Camp Meeting Auditorium is well on its way. Our plans are to remove the posts that have always been in the way. There will only be two posts on either side in the way of the speaker.

It is needless to say that we have already discovered it to be a big job with much heavy work. Foundation for remaining steel posts had to be dug and poured. (We are pouring it today.) We have found the building in reasonably good shape. All faulty materials are being replaced, thus adding to the cost. However, we are striving to stay within or near the proposed budget.

The thought of having it ready for Camp Meeting thrills me, and there is much interest being shown by those who have longed for many years to have it air conditioned. Several people through the years have told me that they would give when we started something. And I believe they meant business. There- fore, I am letting you know now that the good work is under- way. So, if you have a thousand dollars, five hundred, one hundred or even less that you would like to give to become a part of this Camp Meeting Association Project, please let me hear from you. Just write Rev. J. Doner Lee, Post Office Box 67, Falcon, N. C. 28342.

If Brother Julius Culbreth and those who built this build- ing by sacrificial giving of funds and labor could know what we are doing, I believe they would be well pleased that the building will remain and that you and I love and appreciate what they gave us enough to preserve and carry on this good work. Somehow, I believe they know. If not, it does not relieve us of our responsibility to God and this generation.

Camp Meeting this year will be July 27 - August 6, 1972. Bishop J. Floyd Williams, General Superintendent of our great church, and Rev. Gilbert Dean, Superintendent of Mid-Atlantic Conference will be our Camp Meeting speakers. Make plans now to be present, but let me hear from you before then.

—J. Doner Lee

August 6, 1972

Julius Doner Lee Julius Floyd Williams Conference Superintendent General Superintendent

In the year 1898, Julius A. Culbreth, a native of Falcon who was at that time a banker in Raleigh, felt led of God to return to this place to begin the first Camp Meeting known in this area. On this spot trees were cut, the ground was cleared and a tent erected. Mr. Julius Culbreth managed this Camp Meeting for many years and built the first two buildings by faith. It is quite appropriate and coincidental that on this day, two ministers named for Julius Culbreth take part in dedicating this. The Culbreth Memorial Auditorium. By the power invested in the North Carolina Conference Board, we hereby name this building the CULBRETH MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM. Let us stand and dedicate this building, with the people responding with "We dedicate this house." SUPERINTENDENT: To the Glory of God the Father, who has called us by His grace; To the Honor of His Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us; To the Praise of the Holy Spirit who illumines and sanctifies us. PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. SUPERINTENDENT: For the worship of God in prayer and praise; For the preaching of the everlasting gospel; For the celebration of the Holy Sacraments; PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. SUPERINTENDENT: For the comfort of all who mourn; For strength to those who are tempted; For the light to those who seek the way; PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. SUPER INTENDENT: For the hallowing of family life; For teaching and guiding the young; For the perfecting of the saints; PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. SUPERINTENDENT: For the conversion of sinners; For the promotion of righteousness; For the extension of the Kingdom of God; PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. SUPERINTENDENT: To preach regeneration and holiness as in the atonement; To preach the gift of the Holy Ghost to fully cleansed believers; To preach divine healing and the imminent coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. SUPERINTENDENT: In gratitude for the labors of Julius A. Culbreth, A. H. Butler, C. B. Butler, C. B. Strickland, S. D. Page, all other founding fathers, and all who love and serve this church; In loving remembrance of those who have finished their course; In hope of a blessed immortality through Jesus Christ our Lord; PEOPLE: We dedicate this house. (THE SUPERINTENDENT AND PEOPLE SAY TOGETHER) We, now the people of this church and congregation, compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses, grateful for our heritage, sensible of the sacrifice of our fathers in the faith, confessing that apart from us their work cannot be made perfect, do dedicate ourselves anew to the worship and service of Almighty God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

HARVEST TRAIN

"In as much as ye did it unto one of the least of these ... ye did it unto me." in a The Harvest Train is the most important event in the life of the Falcon Children's Home. It is important year, but this year when we are trying to buUd and replace buildings destroyed by the tornado it is very vital the program. Also, we need commodities. They are the lifeline, especially during the winter months when no garden can had and meals have to be served three times per day. Please remember Falcon ChUdren's Home on Harvest Train Day, Tuesday, November 21, 1972.
