Sowing.
The beautiful prayer of David for
the benefits he received is full of in
spiration. Who can read and study
Psalms lO3 and not feel the vibra-
tion of the inner man? Our lesson
Hast Sunday was full of humble,
child-like faith, plainly illustrated.
Hope is the Anchor of the Soul, "
but by faith it is nursed.
The little Sunbeams were ready
with their dues, and their happy
faces made the meeting quite a
pleasant one. They added to their
roll yesterday more of their little
schoolmates. This time Maude and
Claude Hamilton; so we are encour-
aged that the influence of daily life
is telling in a most happy manner.
Mrs. J. L. Grifis. as all Sunbeam
leaders, has a grand and noble
charge.
Social Circle No. 2 will meet
with Mrs. W. A. Dow on Wednes-
day, December 5, at 200 P: M,
Mrs. Fannie Griffis conducting the
meeting. Some of the ladies have
been busy knitting for the Red
Cross since our last meeting. We
hope to take up more of the Red
Cross work.
Tie weather being so cold last
Saturday prevented some of the Ia.

iifisEdI1ed iiissId though that our society was
represented, and that it was our
pleasure to hear directly from the
meeting. Our ladies are always
ready to help in any worthy cause,
and we feel sure we'll do our best
in this great work.
There is a questioning among us
now: Are the leaders of our church,
Red Oak Grove, as active and as In
terested as they ought to be IN the
welfare of the church and the COM
munity? So few of our leaders
(the men) take time to read, thereby
keeping informed'as to the work.
The minds of our people to-day are
as that of a child on being told it
can take trip to some big town or
great place of wonders-we are all
expecting something to happen and
we don't know what. So it greatly
behooves all Christians to keep in
formed as best they can, that the
right conception might be gathered
BY the eager minds of the people.
There is wisdom to be found when
in faith we seek for it.
The many friends of Mrs. Mag
gle Griflis will be saddened to learn
she is suffering intensely from a fall
she received last week. 1t is great
ly feared her hip may be broken
She manilests that same sweet,
cheerful and Christian fortltude,
and greatly appreciates the atten'
tion of kind friends.

Mr.. w. II. Turner, accompanied
by Misses Kate Samuel and May
West, were guests Of Mr.. and Mrs
). Lamb last Wednesday evening. Mr
Turner is deservedly. one of Edge
fields most popular young mer
chants.
l believe it is the concensas Of
opinion that some of the best ano
most worthy citizens of our county
reside in Edge6eld. We do know
the Christian influence, the many
courtesies and kindness on the par
of Edgefield's residents are reaching
out, and much good is being done
Mr.. and Mrs. o. o. Zimmerman
and Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb will spend
Thanksgiving as guests of Mr.. ano
Mrs. E. A. Rogers, near .Calllson

Hog killing and grain sowing

some wheat.
