An innovation in the way of socials
was given at the Nj. E. church Friday
evening. Let me tell you about it. 1t
was Lullaby social. The program
consisted of lullaby songs, recitations,
and stories. The reception committee
were dressed in black, with dainty
white cap, apron and tie, and these
ladies did duty later on to pass the re-
freshments, which were also of the
lullaby order, viz: one glass of ice cold
milk, one slice of bread, two dainty
cookies, and a stick of candy Methinks
no one was kept awake at night on that
menu. The choir loft and pulpit was
turned into verita BILE little home nook.
with easy chairs, couches, sofa cushions
and potted plants. The electric lights
were decorated in red crepe paper,
which threw subdued light all over
the room, and even the babes that
came IN their mothers arms seemed to
know instinctively that the proper
thing to do was to close their dear little
tired eyes under the spell of the lullaby
atmosphere. The program as given
was as follows: Instrumental selection,
Rev. G. NJ. Richmond, DR.. F. N.
Staples and Mrs. Martin; the duel,
Raymond Richmond; lullaby Duet the

sojourn here of Rev. G. NJ. Richmond
and his estimable wife, who came here
recently from Chicago to fill vacancy

Mr.. Richmond is an everyday man,
and as such won the respect and en-
couragement of the church-going pub
lie Immediately, who counted it a rare
pleasure in these mountain towns to
listen to his up-to-date and practical
sermons. Mr.. Richmond no doubt is
qualified for, and will be called upon to
fill some charge more important than
Amador while in this conference. His
pastorate here though short, has been
effective, and his many friends made
during his short stay. reluctantly part
with both himself and Mrs. Richmond,
Their cheerful cooperation in church
work, and cultured and broad ways,
make it a pleasurable occurrence to re-
mem ber their temporary assignment to
Amador. We wish them God speed
and good fortune in their future, and
bespeak for them warm welcome
should they ever return to Amador.
