Miss Verna Shield, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. V. Shield celebrat-
ed her eleventh birthday, Saturday.
A number of her little friends spent
the day with her in mirth and mer-
rinent.
The people were disappointed last
Sunday when it was announced
that circumstances made it impos.
sible for Rev. Reeder of Atlantic, to
comply with the arrangements to
begin special meetings at the I'm
ion Baptist church. The meetings
are postponed.
In the Union Baptist church over
in east Greeley is little box nicely
arranged to receive Thanks giving
contributions. This little box is
fighting tenacious little debt that
still hangs over the parsonage.
The jingle of coin dropped into it
will be heard in Heaven, and the
recording angel will credit the
giver with an act of generosity
The Union Baptist people will APP.
preciate all offerings.
Even though it be nickle, drop it in,
1t will dull that ruthless sickle, death and sin.
Summer loiters in our land,
Cling we fondly to her hand.
AS she, sobbing, turns away,
Pleading still for her to stay.
Then she scans the northern sky
With an apprehensve eye.
Fearful that old Winter may
Southward on rampage stray
LO a flock of frightened geese
Far away. Her fears increase.
Then one lingering caress
Hurriedly she does impress
On our brow then disappears,
Saying, loved one dry your tears.
THANKSGIVING.
How shall we spend Thanksgiving day
One day of all the year
When every mortal soul should climb
The sunny heights of prayer?
From there is seen the land of Love
10 quiet beauty lying.
80 calm, serene and promising
We lose all fear of dying,
And yearn for wings to fly away
Across the yawning space
That separates this noisy world
From quiet haunts of peace
