at the home of Mrs. Will Adrews Mon
day, Jan. 4, at 2:30 p. M, when they
met in union service for the installa-
ton of officers, the beautiful and inn
pressive service being conducted by the
district secretary, Miss Clara McCon-
nell.
1t was very fitting that this be a
union service at our first meeting in
the new year, with the new laws and
the new officers.
The meeting was opened by singing
Stand Up For Jesus" The leader
then read Cor, 12:431, making the
application to the missionary society
with special emphasis on the last verse,
saying that though all did not have the
same gifts, yet there was more excel
lent gift which should be coveted by
all, the gift of love, without which all
works" and gifts" become as sound
ing brass OF tnkling symbal, proiting
us nothing.
Mrs. Claud Allen then led in an
! earnest prayer for the spirit of unity
and for the guidance of the new Off
GERS, after which the leader gave brief
sketch of the woman's work since it's
organization at First Church, Memphis,
1878, up to the present date, explain
ing the new laws which gave us organic
union all our money being sent to the
council, where it is divided. The names
of the offices and officers were then
read, who stood facing her as their
names were called. She then addressed
them upon the honor and responsible
tiles of office. The members of the
auxilaries were then asked to stand,
and after congratulating them upon
their choice of officers, with special
emphasis upon the presidents, to whom
she paid beautiful and deserving tributes
She spoke to the n I'm bers of their re-
sponsibilities. Then followed the re-
sponsive reading by the officers and
members, after which the members
were seated and the officers continued
the responsive reading, which was in
reference to their particular line of
work, and IN conclusion all the mem
bers and officers repeated So we, be-
ing many, are one body in Christ and
everyone members of another" Then
all joined in singing "Blest Be the Tie
that Binds Our Hearts in Christian
Love-" followed by short prayer by
the leader, which closed the installa-
ton service.
The meeting was then turned over to
Mrs. Butler, the new president of the
woman's society, who, after few in
troductory remarks, gave an outline of
the years work for her auxiliary. A
business session was then held. Among
the many pledges was unanimous vote
to continue the $50 pledge to Miss Alice
Waters. The treasurer reported that
over half of the $4,000 pledged on the
lew church had been paid.
We feel that this was a pleasant and
profitable afternoon. We regretted the
unavoidable absence of Mrs. w. H.
Swiggart, district treasurer, who was to
nave taken part in the installation serv-
ce, and Miss Kate Robinson, president
If the young woman's auxiliary.
