Not goats any longer, but the lit

must be listed as Flushing's most no.

so busy that they have been publicly
admonished by one Of Flushing's
prominent clergymen. He is the Rev.

REPORT OF THE WOMAN'S
MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF
CEN. METHODIST CHURCH

The Mission study class of the Cen
trail Methodist Missionary society is
most important branch of the work
Through its agency. the Women of the
church are brought to better under
standing of the work of the Mission
airy society and of the needs in for
eign fields and at home.
AS mission study class it is our
plan to acquaint ourselves with CON
ditions as they exist, both at home and
abroad through the study of books es-
pecially prepared for this purpose.
Our purpose is to try to interest ev-
cry woman in the church in the study
of these books, that they may under
stand more fully the work being done
by the missionary society. II
Our prayer is that through the in.
fluence of the Mission Study class the
women of the church may become
more interested in missions and may
feel the call to service SO strongly that
with one accord they will join in the
work with heart and hand.
Our plea is for awakened interest
on the part of the women of the
church and willingness to cooper
ate in every way possible with the
plans and purpose of the Missionary
society.
With our hope braced on these
standards and our faith strong in the
Lord we have great expectations.
Our Mission Study class has just
taken up the study Of, "The Kings
Highway" We meet every second
and fourth Monday in each month.
Next Monday, Jan 31st, being the
fifth Monday, has been set apart as
Church Visiting Day." when the wo-
men of the Missionary Society are to
go in twos and make church calls, es-
pecially to call on our members of
the church and "shut7ins"..
The Missionary society as 4 whole
extends congratulations to Rev. Jelks
Taylor for having won the heart Shd
hand of our loved City Missionary
Miss Emma Myers. This marriage
does not remove the city missionary
from the cotton mill, and the work
in her charge will be carried on as
before. Miss Myers spirit of service
has been heroic and beautiful anc
her work has been efficient. At the
last session of the South Georgia
Conference the cotton mills were made
a. regular appointment and Mr.. Tay
lor was placed in charge. This ap
pointment makes it possible for this
tyetln g. couple to work together amons
