A very home.like social was enjoy
ed by the officers and teachers of the
Garneill Sunday School at the parsOn-
age last Friday evening. Various
matters of interest concerning the
work Of the Sunday school were dis
cussed after which light refreshments
were served.
Sunday last was big day at Ok
ford. Under the management of
of Superintendent Mrs. Wills and
Asst. Supt. Mrs. Lester, the Sunday
school rendered Il splendid Mothers
Day program, consisting of songs, re-
citations, ETC., with an address by
the pastor. The service was held in
tint Root house, which was crowded.
People came for miles around, some
of them for five miles, and swelled
the congregation to the number Of
seventy-tive or eighty. Everybody
enjoyed themselves notwithstanding
the service was little late. The Of
fering amounted to s5.7S.
Mrs. Maggie Smith Hathaway, or
ganizer for the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, will give her lee
ture, "Jack and JILL" at the follow
ing places this week: Garneill,
Thursday $3.50 p. m. at the Methodist
church; Judith Gap. Friday, $3.50, p.
M. in the Methodist church; Straw,
Sunday, II a. M, probably in the
Methodist church. Those interested
in w. G. +. U. work should not fail
to hear Mrs. Hathaway. The fact
that she lectured at the international
convention Of the Epworth League at
Indianapolis few years ago. and is
to lecture this summer at the State
Epworth League convention and
State Christian Endeavor convention,
should be satisfying as to her ability
as a lecturer. No admission will he
charged but free-will Offering will
be taken.

has proven itself indispensable with
regard to church enterprise. Besides

! $50 into the seating fund, $25 for
lighting and paid $50 on the pastors
salary; to say nothing about numer-
Gus other helpful things they have
done. II loyal energetic society in
deed.
You say it is too far for you to
come to church! The Oxford people
don't think so. Some drove five miles
and many walked from one and a half
to two and a half miles. They don't
mind Il little distance.
Oxford is to have another big day
the fourth Saturday in June. Watch
this column for further particular.
Straw is forging to the front. The
vacated school building was recently
purchased and is being improved and
made into church. Though small,
thirty-siX by twenty, it will make Il
coy little chapel. Three dozen fine
opera seats We're recently ordered
and will soon be installed. The build.
ing is to be lighted with two 3OO-can.

purchased through Mr.. Frank Dawes
