Y. w. A. Rally at Parksville.

VI SSfcidl "CChS tuaiy W "
girls of Edge6eld association had
been looking forward to attending
the Y. w. A. Rally at Parksville,
June Is. All who were asked to
take part on the program bad kind
ly consented to do so. Many were
disappointed who on Thursday
morning awaked to find that a very
heavy rain had fallen, and the
clouds were still dark and threaten
ing. The Parksville people had plan
ned every comfort for our pleasure.
The church was tastefullv arranged
in Y. w. A. colors, eli and
white. The girls under ire wise
leadership of Mrs. J. M. Bussey,
had not left anything undone.
Because of the rain we did not
begin the program until 10 o'clock.
We first sang our song % Zion
Haste" the devotional was con-
Quoted by Mrs. w. F. Warren.
Miss Gazzie Osborne gave us the
most hearty welcome we believe we
have ever received anywhere. Her
paper was unusual, full of humor
and wit. The only visitor at this
time was Mrs. Geo. E. Davis. She
was presented, and after her re-
marks all were sure the Rally would
be success, because of her presence.
The remainder of the time before
dinner was spent in open discussion
of the topic Prayer in the Auxilia-
ry or Individual Life
All hearts were made glad at in
termission by the arrival of party
from Edgefeld, Mr.. and Mrs. J. l..
Minis, Mrs. Mamie Tillman, Misses
Miriam Norris and Florence Minis.
The ladies spread a bountiful feast
on the table under the trees. Every
good thing to eat and refreshing
iced tea were served.
After dinner there were lot of
good papers, among them one on
Our College Grip by Miss Lucille
Culbreath, and a debate: Resolved
that Personal Service is a greater
help 10 an Auxiliary than Mission
Study" The affirmative was ably
held up by Miss Florence Minis aud
the negative by Miss Minnie Eau
ham. In the absence of the latter,
her debate was read by Miss kath-
leen Parks.
Mrs. Davis gave us talk
on the real meaning of the Rally
after which we had a Round Table
Discussion. Mrs. Davis answered
many, many practical questions per-
tanning to Y. w. A. work. We
regretted that there were not more
delegates to get the benefit of this.
There was an evening service over
which the pastor, Mr.. Warren, pre-
sided. His remarks were splendid.
Mrs. Davis again favored us with
an address on Tipping or Tithing." :"
Mrs. Tillman gave us very inter-
esting account Of her trip to the
Southern Baptist Convention. Mr..
Minis gave us a talk on The Life
Worth While. .
The whole session was interspers-
ed with music. The ParkSville Y.
w. AS. had prepared special music,
and Miss Miriam Norris sang beau
tifully for US.
We are exceedingly sorry that
more of the Y. w. AS. could not
have representatives to enjoy the
good speeches, and the hospitality
of the good people of Parksville.

or gain any strength. We are going
TO try and persuade her to let US
take her up to Mrs. Julia Townes
next Thursday to the w. NJ. 5.
meeting hoping that will divert her
mind and seeing ladies and hearing
the program which is fine one will
make her feel better. She has not
been able to go from home since
last October.
We were very sorry to hear of
our president, Mrs. T. J. Briggs,
being down with chills. Hope she
may be up and able to attend the
W. M. S. meeting Thursday the
22nd, as we are hoping to have an
other red letter day. Miss Mary
