Interesting Exercises Held at Home

Paxville, March 13.-On last We'd
nesday afternoon, the usual meeting
of the Paxvile Woman's Missionary
society of the Methodist church was
held at the home of Mrs. H. Cain
with an unusually good attendance,
not many members being absent. The
reports from the different officers
were encouraGirG, and showed much
interest on the part of the members
The program was a social service
one, and was made very interesting
by the leader, Miss Jessie Curtis. The
topic entitled: Social Legislation Re-
garding Public Health" The Bible
lesson: Our Lord and Disease, was
read by Mrs. II. Cain. Little Daisy
Corbett rec:ted EMISSIONS and Mind
ms" The bulletin for the month
was presented by Miss Lucille Ged-
dings in a very unique manner. She
wore a hood made of these papers
and had them pinned about her. She
read impressvely the facts contained
therein.
The following ladies garbcd as
trained nurses read as follows: Mrs
Alex Reynolds told OF health legisla-
ton in Korea, and of the conditions
existing there, that can be touched
only by educating, and since you can
not teach an old head anything, the
! education Of the children is the only
nope. We who have the light have q
responsibility that we must not shirk
Mrs. Ralph Reynolds told of the op-
pOrtunities and needs OF medical mis-
slons in Korea. One of our most
urgent needs is more physicians an
trained nurses, who will minister to
the sick bodies Of the Koreans, anC
! thereby lead them TO the great ply
slcian for healing Of their souls.
surely there are gifted and consecrat-
ed physicians and nurses among our
churches in the South who are willing
to give their lives to such q noble
work.

is an economic liability, social

tain and promote the health Of all
the people.
