me the chaplain had resigned and the
boys begging him to stay and tolu
them that | would see VI something
| could be done between then and the
first CT May. And then we went the
next time with Brother Hogan. we
took the Presbyterian pastor and MIS-
| Funderburk, took her car and took her
sister in law, one of the teachers III
| the Sunday school and we had writ
ten to the chaplain and he said n
| had seen him and he said to come on,
and he would be very glad to have us
come, and we got over there and met
tw6nty-one of the boys right at the
! cneneing, at the gateway and W STOP
! ped there and one or two OF the OF
| Ificers came to the car. | said are
these boys not gong to stay TO the
| service and they said there were
| not going to be any services. and J
| said where is the chaplain and they
I said he was gone and | says where?
He is gone. ann they said he was tired
| they guessed and was gone, so we
were anxious to get back, as we had
sickness in our family and the same
man talked to us by the gate and
said we could go back and hold SER
vices, there was p,enty up there, AMI
Brother Hogan said. No, we will go
home and We came on home. That is
the last time | have been over there
"A week ago last Saturday. the day
before mothers day and | knew that
We were going to have a state mis-
siOnary at our church and tomorrow
is mothers day and the boys ought
to have a service, so | was busy about
the house doing my Saturdays work,
so | just stepped to the phone and
called Mr.. Reed and said if it is all
right we would like to ho'd services
there, and he said he had other ar
rangemenfs over there and sad he
did not want me to come over there
any more, and ! thought maybe | had
misunderstood him so | asked him
to repeat it again, thinking | might
have been mistaken. so he repeated
it over again, so | know | was not
mistaken And | am still bound-de-
'ermired that the boys should have
services on mothers day AMI if he
had told me he had a man, our pre-
SlilllS tlutl W do NdlllllI6 " llpih tAA'
services So ! called Brother Stewart
at Granite to make arrangements for
the service and not to speak my name
and said as soon as you find out from
Mr.. Reed YOU phone me at my eX-
pense and Mr.. Reed said he won d b
very glad to have Mr. Mitchell come
over and hold services and Brother
Mitchell told me also that Mr.. Reed
had told him to be sure and come over
so Mr. McCollister and | had several
carnations. well not great many,
maybe a dozen and | tied them up
and put a satin ribbon on them and
wrote From the Methodist Sunday
School to the Boys this was written
on motto card, Others and pinned
them to that and sent it to them.
Reed Attends Services.
Il always played the organ and
lead the boys in singing so there was
Brother Mitchell that didn't have any
one to play and | asked Mr. and Mrs.
Roeburg to 90, so Mr.. McCollister
went over and We took them to the
gateway and we turned and went back
and sat on the rocks and had as good
a time as possible until they had the
services. Mr. koeburg told me that
Mr.. Reed was in the services that day
and | told him ! was very glad, that
Mr.. Reed had never been in the SER
vices when we were there. and he
should have been there, he coud not
have helped but understand the boys
better to have been in those services.
Then We had a missionary woman
one of th5 finest in the southern states
Miss Daisy Dawes CT Nashville, hete
last Sunday, and we had hardly got
started home until we said we would
like to have Miss Davees talk to the
boys last Sunday. SO asked Broth
CT Mitchell that he please make il
so that We could have her talk to the
boys and he said that he would do his
very best SO that last Saturday af-
teruCOn he called and said that Mr.
Reed was over at Oklahoma CITY to
let me come along with Miss Dawes
so that last Saturday afternoon they
got the message and he said | could
not come and Brother Mitchell said,
let me talk 10 him. so the man slid
it Wcnldn't do any good. so my sec
ond daughter. Mable. went to Sunday
school that morning and played IN
the orchestra and went in the choir
over there and paved the organ Tor
them and had splendid service last !
Sunday and | understand that Mr. /
Re said this morning that h did !
not want any of the boys to talk to |
anybody who We're not better than
they were.
