always Deen an interesting SUBJECT
to US. The Sunday School lesson
threw new light on ourMonthlyLess-
on Topic The Church Building and
Loan FUND.-. There was beautiful
lesson of sacrifice and loyalty taught
us by the faithful band of Jews in
the manner in which they proceeded
to rebuild their house of worship.
Wherever the hand of Providence
rests in the establishment of our plans
we cannot fail. His plans for us is
established though the way to ac-
complishment may be, by our sinful
ness, and esgerness to do our way"
instead of simple child like trust,
make the harder and suffering
greater.
The world is our church, the ma.
tions our members, we no longer by
our deeds and manner of life respect
our house of worship, but want
to build our way leaving out Gods
way, but mercifully he has borne
with us, yet the wickedness of the
builders become too great, now this
great war is upon us, to remind US
of our way of living. May our
people come back to God and be
willing in child like faith to walk
in His council. lie is our tender
and loving Father, the same on
Battle Field as in our homes around
the freside.
This ideal autumn weather makes
it nice for crop gathering and fall
planting which we believe, will not
be neglected. Several fall plows
have beer real busy, which means
much to our success in more than
one direction. We feel so proud to
see our people interested in their
gardens, and many have nice lot of
summer produce stored away al
ready; tho let US not forget we are
helping to win in the war, by grow
ing Food stuff all the time. Nature
has done all for our climate to make
it possible for US to greatly help, SO
lets not forget to use those pretty
warm sunshiny days IN that way all
we can.
There was large attendance the
Y. w. A. meeting last Sunday p.
m. and splendid meeting. The
response to the closing service, was
an evidence that the members have
on their hearts a sense of personal
responsibility.
By the resignation of Mrs. Pearle
Thurmond, caused by sickness in
the family, the Y. w. Association
elected Miss Clarimon Sheppard as
their leader and for next quarter
following officers: Miss Deadis
Dow, president; Miss Rubye Dorm,
vice. president; Miss Sunie Sharpton,
secretary and Miss Maggie Agner,
organist.
The sun-beams are planning
little programme for next Sunday.
Our ladies are quite busy this
week endeavoring to render assist
ance in distributing the United
States Food Administration liter
ature in the homes all in their reach
under instruction given by Hon. n.
G.. Evans our country agent. Mr..
Evans efforts should be recognized,
for he is conscientiously trying TO
fulfill his duty and therefore can
accomplish much with some help.
Mr.. Luther Zimmerman was home
last Saturday and was warmly
greeted by his friends.
The Edgefeld friends of Mrs.
Waldoff (nee Hattie Bussey) have
much cause to rejoice at the success
she has attained in Woman's Feder-
alton Club work in Chicago. Mrs.
Waldoff has one son already in SER
vice and is ranking high as
Lieutenant. Also he is rendering
assistance in her home, by encourag-
ing preparatory military training in
aviation instruction believing that
will be means of much help to our
government.
Wisely may the mothers spend
their energies and means by which
they may instruct their children in
telligently in governmental affairs,
rather than worry over the In
evitable.
