POEM HISTORY
Continued from second page.l

Each week we bring an extra
cent or two, whatever we have to
spare, for the cause of missions,
which is placed in a box and at the
close of the year is opened and the
amount divided between our home
and foreign missionary objects.
Every year the sum contained in
our missionary trunk seems to be
on the increase ahd we hope to see
the amount still higher in the future.
Some time ago the class gave a
pie and cake sale and with the
money realized and with some
kindly assistance from the Improve
ment Band. we bought beautiful
carpet and chairs for our Sunday
School classroom, of which we are
justly proud, and which makes our
little room very cosy.
We have those among our number
who should be commended for their
Sunday School record, having been
enrolled as members while Mrs.
Schenck had the class and who are
the following: Mrs. Bowers, Mrs.
Allan Wilson. Mrs. William Dilley. |
Miss Jennie Marjarum. Mrs. Fisher, |
Mrs. Bacorn. Miss Higgins, and Mrs. I
Samuel Kerr.
Looking over the class, one can
not help but note how very different
some of the members are from one
another in temperament. You would
hardly believe that we have some
members like Mrs. Bowers and Mrs.
Fisher whose keenly sensitive feel
ings are deeply hurt because they
are not allowed to participate in our
annual Christmas Cantata, but who
knows, but what if these two dear
girls are patient long enough, they
may yet live to see themselves in
some role of the Christmas Cantata
in the years to come.
Then, we have those who like a
good argument and who like to
know the why and wherefore of
things. If you ask Miss Higgins
to give you a discourse on any sub
ject, it will, without doubt, be on
the subject of the Fallen Angels,
in which subject she shows the
keenest interest on all occasions,
and none of US can withstand her
arguments on the subject.
Time will not permit me to men
ton others of our bible class, some
of the naughty girls who will per-
sist in whispering when our teacher
is speaking and who sometimes have
10 be called down little We will
however, let you judge of our ex-
cellence for yourselves tonight and
feel that you must be agreeably i'm
pressed with our ability in various
directions, but this one secret will
tell you, if you will not repeat it to
our church organist whom we want
to surprise, and that is, that we
think of forming ourselves into an
auxiliary of the church choir, as our
musical ability should not be wasted
on the desert air.
In conclusion. | should state that
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1915-07-08

In conclusion, should state that
the past few months have shown
marked increase in interest and at
tendance of the class, and during
the last few weeks we have added
to the class 8 new members, making
a total membership of 33 at the
present time. 1t seems a splendid
thing to see our little room crowded
full of enthusiastic women and we
are hoping that the good work will
still continue.
We believe that we are very
important factor in the welfare of
the Sunday School not only numer-
ically, but from a monetary stand
point as well, and hope to borrow
the use of familiar slogan, that
you may Watch us grow" May
the pages of our history as yet un-
written find us pressing still onward
with steadfastness of purpose, and
when at last we are called up higher.
