Church Does Itself Proud.
The Trimble Street Home Mission
society fills the role OF hostess of
the conference with decided honor
and dignity for so young a debu-
tante. The society is one of the
youngest in the Memphis conference,
having been organized only about
two years. It Is a monument to the
good work of Mrs. J.H Roberts, when
secretary OF the Padueah district,
during the service of her husband as
presiding elder OF this district.
Mrs. Sue F. Mooney, the president
of the society, was elected to the Of
fee when the society was entertain
ed by the Broadway Methodist
church of this city. seven years ago.
and has held It ever since. She was
living in Paducah then, her husband
the Rev. Wellborn Mooney, being
pastor OF the Third Street Methodist
church. Mrs. Mooney is fine pre-
siding officer and is ready for all
emergencies. She Is bright. witty and
talented writer. Her recent book
my Moving Tent" finely depicts the
lights and shadows in the life of the
wife Of a Methodist itinerant dur
ing 90 years of noble service. DR..
and Mrs. Mooney celebrated their
golden wedding last summer ct
