HOME MISSION SOCIETY
OF METHODIST CHURCH
Observed Week of Prayer-SOcial
Hour-Sunday Morning Service
Especially for Members of society

The past week has proved to be
a very pleasant and profitable one
to the members of the Woman's
Home Mission Society of the Meth
odist church, it being the time for
their annual week OF prayer. For
Saturday afternoon they planned
for something in addition to the
regular program. and that was to
have all the ladies of the church
and their friends meet with them
for a social hour The Sunday
school room was most tastefully ar
ranged and beautifully decorated in
cut flowers and pot plants, con-
verting it into a bower of beauty.
In response to the invitations
more than half a hundred were
present to enjoy the hospitality of
the society and rejoice with them
in their new church home. During
the hour some very pretty solos
were rendered and dainty refresh
ments were served. So pleasantly
was the hour spent that all too
soon the shadows of night were
creeping upon the light Of day, and
as one by one they took their de-
parture each felt that they had been
drawn closer together by the ties of
friendship and love.
The pastor of the church preach
ed a sermon for the ladies at II a
m. and rendered them the privilege
of conducting the service IN the
evening. Papers and talks on differ
ent features of the work were
brought before the audience, such
features as tithing, rescue work,
mountain schools, etc.
A very helpful address on the
"consecrated life" was mace by Mrs.
Jessup, a minister in the Friends
church. All who have heard Mrs
Jessup know that a real treat was
in store for those present The
Home Mission Society feels encOur-
aged and will press forward to great
er things.

The MODERN MARY AND HER LAMB
Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow
Would Mary ever sell the lamb?
Why what qaestion! No.
She kept the lamb in luxury
For many, many years,
And every now and then she'd go
And clip it with her shears.
Then sell the fleece and take the cash
And put in the bank
Until she had fortune
Of the very topmost rank.
While Mary was wise young girl,
Her father had a pull,
Then through his lobbying he kept
The tariff up on wool.
