Among many other good things
which we enjoy by way of men of
genius and talent may be mentioned
R. j. Rice, who is putting out works
of merit that please and command the
attention of those who really pat

those who will pay $3.50 for a beau
tiful landscape up to $3.50 and $500
and as high as $50 for a painting that
according to merit should bring 800.
You didn't know We had such an ar

neice, Wayne E. Brown, who was
taken from us two years ago Febru-

But God came with his angels just
at eventide,
And opened wide the gates of

But we know you are safe with

Delivered by (Mrs.) Mamie B. VIII
son of the Peck Mite Missionary So
ciety, February Is, 1915.
Madam President. Sisters of Greater
Kansas City, Ministers, Brethren and
Friends:
We, the officers and members of the
Peck Mite Missionary society, well
come you here this afternoon to wit
ness us pay honor to one to whom
honor is due in the person of u be-
loved leader, Mrs. Laura G. Gilmore,
whose charming and successful ad-
ministration cannot be surpassed.
: With the assistance of her vice presi-
dents, Mrs. Kingsberry and Mrs.
Schrader and me loyal support of the
other officers and members, we are
proud to welcome you to an ~organiza-
tion that has no superior in>the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church. We
have been extremely blessed in having
the advice, counsel, and assistance of
the grand and noble pastor of historic
Allen, who as a member of u society
and our leader has helped us in many
ways. We have now entered upon the
new year, after having passed a most
successful one, with the help of u
beloved Redeemer who has constant
ly had his arms around us. For we
realize that without His help and
strength and u own earnest prayers,
we could not succeed. AS members
of this Missionary band, we find more

work has increased largely as we'll as
our membership. And / voice the SEN
timent of our entire membership,
when l extend you our band this aft
ernoon and bid you welcome to u
society, to our homes and to our
hearts. We realize that WI are n
strong, united, Christian band, all
working for the same glorious cause;
and we recognize this fact that
through prayer, revelation and the
Holy Spirit-God speaks to us and
tells us that to have spiritual life and
energy, we must have spiritual inter
course with our Heavenly Father, that
oud' minds may be drawn toward Him
and that we may mediate upon His
works, His mercy, His blessings both
day and night.
So each day We pray, fully under
standing that prayer does not bring
God down to us, but lifts us up to
Him. When Jesus was on earth, He
taught his disciples how to pray; how
to present their daily needs before
God; and to cast all of their cares be-
fore Him, with the assurance that
their prayers, if uttered with faith be-
lieving, should be answered to the
fullest. Then again in conclusion let
me bring to your memory those lines
Of the poet which say:
Lord, thou knowest how l live
What l have done or must for give;
What of good, I've tried to do,
Strengthen, bless and carry through.
Again, in the name of the officers
and members, of the Peck Mite Mis-
sionary society, I welcome you to the
councils and the privileges of our be-
loved organization.

Mrs. Rosa Smith, Secretary.

Quite a few of u patrons COM
plain that news of their doings, par
ties, receptions, visitors and so forth
do not get into u paper; that is
because you do not write or telephone
JUS. Although we know a great many
things, we do not know everything
that takes place socially in the two
Kansas cities, and unless you notify
us we cannot insert it in our paper
but we will cheerfully do so If you
will send it in. Take due notice and
govern yourself accordingly.

In memory of our kind husband and

years ago February 10, 1908.
Gone from this world of pain and

To a home where suffering is not

One by one we all shall follow
To be crowned at Thy heavenly

And all things are for the best,
So he called our dear husband and

To a home of eternal rest.
