Last Sunday afternoon at the meet.
ing of the church committee IL was
that "Go To church bande
be organized among our young people.
This organization was started in Feb
ruary, 1910, in the Central Gongrega-
tional church, Worcester, in nm en-.
deavor 10 gain the willing attendance
Of children ut the preaching service.
Since then the idea has been adopted
in great many churches and with
very gratifying results. As soon As
leaders can be secured the matter will
be brought to the attention of our boys
and girls.
The congregation is asked to keep III
mind the fact that a box of clothing
and supplies is soon to be packed TO
send TO Tougaloo University, those
who listened last Sunday to the letter
from Miss Mary Daniels will recall
hef statement that bed and table linen
rs well as lightweight clothing and
OF almost any size will be
acceptable. 1t would be difficult TO
find another class of people who would
be more appreeiative of help of this
sort. Let us plan TO give glad sur.
prise to those in whose interests one of
our number is faithfully labering Con.
tributions should be sent in as early
as possible.
AS was stated last Sunday In the
Bible school additions may be made TO
the offering for the organ fund OF Tou.
galoo University. We should at least
double the amount given last Sunday.
II you failed to attend the meeting
last Thursday evening you missed not
only good meeting but the opportun
ity of hearing some bright and original
sayings.
The Sunday school followed with
close attention the letter read last sun
day from Miss Mary Daniels of Touga-
loo University. The offering for their
organ fund, which was nearly double
the usual amount, indicates TO GER
tain extent the interest which the
school would like to express. Those
who desire TO add TO the organ fund
may hand the amount To Miss Marion
Warren.
The Alpha Delta class have charge
of the supper for the teachers and of.
ticers on Thursday evening. Matters
of interest To all the teachers will be
the supper. There should be full at
tendance.
The Drop-ln class will hold social
with Mrs, Nikoloti Friday afternoon.
