THE ABBEVILLE
BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
Items Of Interest To the Worker In
The Woman's Missionary Union

Mrs. E. B. Gossett, of Calhoun
Falls, recently moved to Greenville.
As president of First Division she
did most efficient work and will be
greatly missed from the association.
The minutes which were delayed
in printing have been issued now. A
copy may be secured by writing a
card to Mrs. J. Span Harris, Troy,
S. C. The statistical tables of Sun
beams Royal Ambassadors and
Young Woman's Auxiliaries were
omitted in the minutes. Mrs. Harris
will also furnish these upon appli-
cation. .
The Sunbeams and Young Wo
mans Auxiliaries will hold a Rally
Day at Troy, April 21st. All work
ers in these organizations, together
with Association officers, are ex-
pected to attend.
The Baptists in the Association
will be glad to know that a new
! church is in course of erection in
wellington. The women OF w. M.
S. have contributed most of their
funds to this object The work which
has been done by the women and
children Of Wilmington church is
most commendable.
The Sunbeams Of Lowndesville,
under the leadership Of Mrs. B. B.
Allen, had a special program IN
March for Home Missions. Mrs. AL
len is ably assisted in this work this
year by two young girls.
The Girls Auxiliary Of Mt. No
lriah has seen the greater needs and
up to date have doubled all .appor-
tionments. What other organization
has done so well?
The Royal Ambassadors Of Able
vile have read three mission books,
viz: "Around the World With Jack
and JANET" "African Adventures"
and Livingstone, the Pathfinder"
This chapter has failed to
meet an apportionment since its or
ganization and at an anniversary
celebration in December, a box to
celebration in December, a box to
the Orphanage was packed.
Mrs. J.. A. Osborne, President of
Fifth Division, has had two meet
ings this associational year. The Sc
cond n was the last of March and
an interesting program was carried
out. All except two Or three Of the
Association officers were present
and took part in the exercises. 1t
is interesting to note that almost all
of the gifts contributed by the W.
M. U. organizations are raised by
voluntary offerings.
The Woman's Missionary Society
of Ninety Six observed the three
seasons of special prayer, n each
for State, Home and Foreign Mis-
sions. The severe winter prevented
many societies from doing this.
Mrs. E. T. Jones has succeeded
Mrs. Clarnce Edwards al leader Of
Sunbeams at Beulah. This band if
only twelve members, meets regular
ly on the first Sunday of each month
and is doing good work.
The Sunbeams Of MI. Moriah had
an interesting meeting on Saturday
before Easter at the home of the
leader, Mrs. T. C. Burnett. A spe-
cial program for Home Missions,
consisting of recitations and songs
was carried out. There were forty
five children present. They brought
their offerings and five dozen eggs
for missions. After the close of the
program the children enjoyed an egg
hunt.
Mrs. NJ. B. Davis has succeeded
Mrs. E. M. Anderson as leader Of
Abbeville Sunbeams. This band pre-
scented an Indian play at the April
meeting of the Woman's Missionary
Society.
The Troy Sunbeams deserve much
credit for making special offerings.
