WEARS

I.ongview. Texas. Nov. 8, 1913.
NV Dear Mrs FELTON,: I'm Jour-
nal reader and I take advantage OF
the kind offer you made in the
Journal. I, too, love the dear old
althea. I can see in my imag1na-
tree that stood near the well in the
northern part of the yard. My
grandmother brought it from
Greensboro, Ga. and we all called
it grandma's aIthea tree. We lived
near the dear old village of Knox
Vile. Ga. Now, If you will send me
some of the seed 1 surely will APP
I must tell how we all enjoy and
appreciate the many kind words of
advice and comforting thoughts you
have every week. 1 just could not
get along without The Journal; have
taken it for twenty years. My nus
band was a subscriber to The Jour-
nal before we came to Texas and
ever since his death. which was nine
years ago, myself and children have
ever been careful to keen The Jour
nal coming regularly. When I read
it mere. then 1 mail it to my dear
son, who is in the navy. Sometimes
il reaches him in fairly good shape,
but often it does not. God has been
good to me and mine. l have eight
dear children, four boys and four
girls, all married but the three
God will spare you many years yet
and bless and sustain you in all
the troubles and trials of life, and
in the end you can hear the blessed
words. We'll done, good and faith
fu, servant; enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord"
Your friend.

The Country Home
Timely Topics
CONDTTCTFD RY MRS. w. H, FELTON,
A SMALL ADVENTURE

was anxious to hear the decision
of the North Georgia conference on
the laity rights of the women OF the
Methodist church, south, so 1 went
down to Atlanta and for three morn
ings l went over to the wesley Me-
mortal church and listened to the
debates on various questions. Final
ly, on the last day of my stay IN
Atlanta the matter came up for a
vote. 1 had been talking before that
with Miss Belle Bennett, of Ken
lucky, on the matter and she was
hopeful of it's passage. She has
been it's unfailing champion for
many years. She was, l remember
ed, much disappointed last May
when the bishops voted the favorable
action of the preachers and laymen
and relegated the matter back to the
annual conferences.
The rain had been pouring all
Saturday morning, but I put on my
gum shoes and with an umbrella
L made my way to the appointed
place to await the action of the con-
ference.
But 1 might have spared myself
the anxiety, because the whole thing
was over and done with inside of
twenty minutes.
The conference had it's mind made
up and did not care to have laity
rights discussed, so the vote was
quickly taken, and there were two
hundred and eighteen in favor and
only thirty-seven in opposition.
When 1 left the church at noon
the rain was coming down in sheets
and the water racing down the
streets and sidewalks, but 1 did not
mind it a bit. l was so gratified
that our good Methodist women were
made active and appreciated Cd
members by the conference compos-
ed of men, mostly Georgians, that

whatever.

still in the rain and expected to
reach Gainesville about 6 D. m. When
we were in four miles of my town
train and we were told that we
could not get by before 1 o'clock in
Some of my good town friends
thought we might catch taxi at
a nearby mining town. so made the
effort, walking some hundred or two
yards.
Accidentally we encountered a
fliyver going towards Rome. 1t had
one vacant seat only. but there were
two of US, myself and young lady.
The dear young lady got in the seat
and l sat in her lap and directed the
driver over an entirely new road 70
him. But we made it in the dark
ness, and by s o'clock l was in bed,
warm and comfortably. while the
train was standing where 1 left IL, at
/ o'clock in the morning, and the
train going southwark pulled into
Atlanta at o'clock in the morning
But 1 made the trip all right.
