of the Class and Its WORK.
Motto: Young women at work for
young women, all standing by the
Bible in the Bible school.
The regular business meeting OF
the Philathea Glass was held at the
home of Mrs. G. E. Dozier on Stone
wall street. The usual spirit of earn
estness and good cheer prevailed,
The class president, Miss Mamie
Deubler, began the devotional service
by reading the third chapter of Nal
achi. The opening prayer was led by
a member of the class. Reports from
the various committees indicated
progress and a growing interest in
the great work committed to our
hands.
The church having heartily invited
the Philathea State Union to meet
with us in 1909 our corresponding
secretary, Miss Minnie Lou Martin,
has put us in touch with every class
of the union, urging their co-opera-
ton in bringing the convention to
Dawson.
The following delegates were chos-
en- to represent the class at the state
union, which will meet in StatesborO
during the month of June: Misses
Minnie Bridges, Mamie Deubler,
Claud Blackwell, Minnie Lou Martin,
Alva Hatcher and Mrs. J. A. Ivey.
Miss Blackwell has been selected to
make the class report. Miss Deubler
is a member of the state expansion
committee, and either by personal
visits or letters explaining the work
has covered the entire territory as
signed to her. She has caught the
true Philathea spirit, which is essen
TALLY missionary, and by her enthusl-
asm and consecrated talent is bring
ing things to pass. In answer to an
invitation Miss Deubler recently went
to cambridge to assist in organizing
a class in that city.
Through messages from Miss
Grace Jester, one of the cambridge
Philatheas, and Mr.. Markham
"wide-awake' Baraca, encouraging
reports have come from that part OF

NAV catch this energizing uplifting
spirit of women at work for women,

our lives worth while? Are we dong
the things that are important?
We are deeply grieyed TO learn

be restored to her family and friends,
who love her so much.

noblest of the band Mr.. Gibson is

rest upon that new-made home.
There was a regular love feast in
| the Philathea class room last Sunday,
when our teacher, Miss Minnie
Bridges, joined us after an illness OF
several weeks. She is still not strong
enough to teach, but her presence and
sympathy give us fresh courage in
the work.
The superintendent, Mr.. j. c. Hol7
| lingsworth, announced that the Phi
lathea class had Outgrown the pres
ent quarters, and by next Sabbath the
class would have a large, pleasant
room in which to continue the work.
Let us bear in mind and heart the
request of our pastor Rev n. B.
IO'Kelley, about the meeting of days
to begin at the Baptist church on
April 18th. DR.. Ashby Jones of Co
lumbus will assist the pastor.
