CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ITEMS

The Mission Study class will
meet next Tuesday evening, March
10. at the home of Mrs Lottie Flint
Miss Abbie Flint, leader.
The Ladies Aid society has a
meeting this afternoon in the social
rooms of the church.
The Christian Endeavor meeting
last Sunday evening was especially
interesting. Aside from receiving
four new associate members, Inez
Williams, Agnes Walker, Manley
Clark and Francis Himelick into
the society, the time was devoted TO
an account of missionary work in
British East Africa where, as is we'll
known to most Of our readers, Es-
Their Martin Caldwell and her hus-
band are located and actively en-
gagged in missionary work. Several
letters written by Mrs. Caldwell
we're read at the meeting and the
hour was almost too short, although
the regular evening service was dis
pensed with. We hope to publis h
some of the letters in some future
issue of this paper SO that all of
her friends may read them and know
of the noble work that she has
pledged her life to.
