RED OAK GROVE.
Teacher Training Class Met.
Urges Large Delegations to
Greenwood Institute.
Social Circle Met.

Our subjec: for study this year. is
Americas World Opportunity
and at present that subject was most
6ttingly chosen, as the minds of
our people are in disturbed state,
because of the prevailing war AS
in all things else, our Sunday Schools
must thereby become affected, and
to our mind, our last Sundoy lesson
was hard and difficult piece of
work for an anti-Foreign Mission
believer to surround. AS we read
and studied the lesson, the following
quotation forcibly presented itself
to us: The light that shines far
therest away. shines brightest at
home," so we can't believe very
much in one unless we believe in
the other also. l really believe
that lesson one of the "plalnest''
missionary lessons I have ever
studied.
We appreciate the fact that our
Sunday School is becoming aroused
to letter things for the school, and
that the members have become &C.
lively engaged in methods for a
better Sunday School at old Red
Oak Grove.
The Teacher Training Class
met at Mr.. G.. w. Bussey's, Jr., last
Sunday, P. M. AS we meet from
time TO time we hope to increase in
attendance. The interest manifest
ed was marked, therefore, we feel
encouraged.
Our Divisional Superintendent,
Mrs. j. M. Bussey, of Parksville,
will hold a one day meeting in con.
nection with our W. M. o., with
the Red Oak Grove Society some
time next month, date will be fur
nished later.
The Edsefeld association should
send large delegation to Greenwood
srd and 4th of April to the the "In-
stitute," as it is privilege being
brought near by. I trust many of
the societies may be represented.
The Social Circle meets with Mrs.
Sam Agner Wednesday, P. M,
April 4. Mrs. Sallie Zimmerman
leader. We invite our friends and.
neighbors to meet with US.
The Sunbeams held short, but
pretty little service just after Sun
day School last Sunday. What
might we expect for our children in
the future, with the Christian train
ing that is being given them of to-
day. We feel proud of the child
ren and their leader, Mrs. Griffis,
for she loves the work which in
sures success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Thurmond.
Sr., visited their daughter, Mrs.
John Mathis this week. Mr.. Thur
mond's health was quite feeble and
we were glad to see him out.
We are very sorry to note the i'll
health of Mr.. and Mrs. Elbert
Dorm. They have with them their
three little orphan grand daughters,
whose presence is the life of their
fond grandparents.
Mr.. Charlie Bailey and his sister
Miss Pearl, were guests of Miss
Lulie Zimmerman last Sunday.
Mr.. Dewey Young and sister,
Miss Leola from Red Hill visited
Miss Ruth Zimmerman and attend
ed Sunday School at Red Oak
Grove.
Miss Marie Hamilton attended
the Teacher Training Glass, and
was visitor in the home of Mrs.
Lamb. Calling in the afternoon
was Mr.. Dewey McLendon and Mr.. Z
Horace Glanton. The latter giving
an interesting account of his ex-
perience during his enlistment with
the United States. May nothing
happen to discourage our young
men who fesrlessly and bravely en-
list to serve our country. Should
the call come to others to enlist for
service, may the mothers. wives,
sisters, sweethearts and friends give
words of good cheer and encourage
ment TO them, as they enter upon a
call to duty for their country. What
is more beautiful?
