Mission Church and parsonage

"These young lives look to the future.  Can we doubt that it hold great promise for them when we know that they are under the influence of strong Christian teachers?"

"Children in the mission Sunday School classes, like children everywhere are absorbed with the thrilling story of Jesus and His love."

"Mothers and fathers bring their children to see the visiting Frontier Nurse.  This health program is part of the Christian ministry on this 20th century frontier."

"Vacation Bible School at Elisha's Creek."

Creekville, Kentucky:  "Travel up and down dusty roads and creek beds on horseback and by truck takes the workers of the Flat Creek mission to the outpost Sunday Schools held in small chapels and school houses."

"A local minister, with two yars at Bethany, leads the work at this Mud Lick chapel of the Flat Creek mission.  Two of the Sunday School classes meet in the living room and kitchen of his home."

"Today in Flat Creek, Ky., after only ten years of home mission work, the membership numbers 86 and attendance sometimes reaches 125."

Three photograph of "The Chapel" East and North of Bertha Gilbert's house.  She attended there as a small child.  These pictures might have been taken in 1931."
