RED OAK GROVE
Sunday School Well Attended.
Missionary Ladies Meet.
Committee Doing Work
For Our Soldiers.

Large attendance at Sunday
School. Our supt. Mr.. w. M.
Agner is faithful, we know he. too,
is encouraged and that for the people
to continue to manifest their interest
by giving the S. S. their presence
will stimulate the work to efficiency.
Our S. S. lessons are so full of
interest. We feel like to study the
lessons carefully much encourage
ment and assurance is obtained; that
our present war means victory for
our worlds righteousness. How can
we feel other than Gods hand is
back of it; just as it ruled
Nehemiah l:l-ll. 2:l-1l.
May we as a people spend much
time in prayer; pray in the spirit of
earnestness, just as Nehemiah for
the upbuilding of the beloved coun-
try of his fathers.
May we murmur not at the pro-
cedure of our government, but rather
pray for God-given guidance, being
then resign to the will of the Lord.
We are his and he will help us to
victory, if we in faith seek to do his
will. The cali reaches out to one
and all alike, a sacrifice that our
country must feel is to be made Oh
the part of our nation. Aren't we
willing, then, to share the burdens.
Our Y. W. A. girls at Limestone
College continue their interest az
Red Oak Grove, and will send some
part for programme at the meeting
TO be held next SUNG day p. m. at Miss
Ruby Dorn's 2 at o'clock p. m. G
Our Social Circle work in the w.
NJ. U. is continuing in interest, and
is proving helpful in different ways.
The meeting at Mrs. Luther
Timmerman's was more largely at!
tended than at any previous meeting,
the interest was intense. 0nrs
members seem to have caug ght the
f ssiea OF llearn y5ur.s less al least
right conception Of our subjects
seems to have entered the meeting,
which is quite conceivable.
We were delighted to have Mrs.
G.. D. Minis and Miss Mamie;
Whatley come and bring knitted
articles, they are now making for
Red Cross, giving our ladies the
much desired information concern
ing same.
And another treat we so much
enjoyed was the presence of Mrs. A.
3. Young and her lovable daughter,
whose pleasure lies in that for her
mother. Mrs. Young had prepared
a paper on the illustration of the
five talent'-Matthew 25th, and it
gave each one new vision into life,
which was evident by the unbroken
attention given by the ladies. One
was obliged to catch the inspiration
of the spirit of conservation in
thought SO plainly brought out by
the preparation of the work.
The committee appointed by the
county chairman Mr.. J. L. Minis for
the campaign of Y. M. G. A, is en-
deavoring to do what they can.
We tell them to each try to head
their list in highest contribution.
Our w. NJ. Society at the business
meeting last Sunday appreciated SO
much the presence of our bonored
Pres. Mrs. Thurmond whose health
is yet quite feeble, but who ever
lends al inspiration to our meetings,
tho she feels her helplessness by her
inability to regularly be with US.
Notwithstanding dry weather the
little truck IN gardens continue to
grow some, but soil is too dry to
plant seeds now.
Grain sowing continues, and if
the proper preparation is given the
grain will come up, giving the roots
start and the danger of freeze will
probably be averted.
Mr.. Luther Zimmerman is home
for few days visit before leaving for
Jacksonville, Fla, where he has
been assigned employment at splen-
did wages.
Mr.. J. B. Zimmerman, of Green
wood, has many warm friends in this
section, who feel proud of the success
in his line of work for the govern
ment. He leaves today for Jackson
vile.
