MEETING OF THE
WOMAN'S CLUB

| WOmAN'S CLUB
Saturday, Dec. Is, the program at
| the Woman's Club was in charge of
| the social service committee, Mrs. E.
/ A. Osborne, chairman. 1t was a great
disappointment to the club that Mr..
Marcus Fagg, who had expected to
| address the club on this occasion wab
unavoidably absent and his engage
ment postponed for some future date.
! In the absence of Mr.. Fagg, Rev.
j. r. Herndon of the Presbyterian
church, and Rev. Bunyan Stephens OF
the Baptist church, made interesting
talks along social service aines. Mr..
Herndon spoke especially of the Red
Cross work, of which, as he stated,
there was no greater work done. As
Mr.. Herndon was In measure speak
ing along the lines Mr.. Fagg had en-.
pected to talk upon, he gave special
stress to the care of the homeless
children, which as he stated, is one Of
the first cares of society which we can
not let go without damaging society;
that no better man could be found
than Mr.. Fagg for the place he oc-
cupies, and that he deserves our sup
port for we are benefited as well as
the children. The home is the foun-
tain head and all service rendered
which goes toward making people
more happy, Industrious and elevated
in morals makes for beauty. And IL
the platform he suggested were
adopted, Ocala would become better
and more beautiful city.
Mr.. Stephens talk on personal
work impressed his audience pro-
foundry. He said that one of the best
avenues for social service work in
our town was the establishment Of
games for the young people. That
only a very few cities have under
taken this work He explained the
good accomplished for the young
through playground and recreation
places. The building up the of ply
steal body means the development of
the spiritual. He gave as an ex-
ample Jesus the great social worker,
and we as followers Of the great
Nazarene. We must minister to the
physical needs in order to bring the
spiritual needs. Mr.. Stephens paid
woman a high compliment in the
thought that she as the social service
worker walks hand in hand with the
great Inspirer.
Mrs. E. Van Hood, of the social
service committee, spoke in the place
of the chairman, Mrs. Osborne, who
was somewhat indisposed. Mrs. Hood
- -
hearers as she in her own beautiful
way made a beautiful talk on SER
vice, which, as she expressed it, was
a glorious heritage of which there
was no higher ideal"
Those present were made doubly
happy by listening to the exquisite
Italian song, "Parla," sung by Ocala's
wonderfully sweet singer, Miss Mar
guerite Porter, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. McIver. Miss Porter
also have Hungarian number from
Franz LISTS Leiberstraum, which
was marvellous in its beauty.
The following resolutions were
passed by the club:

things for the good of those who love
