The message from State superin-

Mrs. Hatcher by Mrs. j. L. Minis.
The method class on suggestions
yfor Sunbeam societies was given by
Mrs. Geo. E. Davis.
At the close of the Sunbeam ses-
sion, Mrs. Minis took charge of the
meeting and Mr.. Orlando Sheppard,
moderator of the Edgefeld associa-
ton at this time and for so many
years past, was called to the plat
form and talked on the "Voice Ger
the Tumult." This was Mr.. Shep-
pard's first visit to our meeting, and
he was very cordially received, and
many of the women expressed their
appreciation, both at his presence
and at his address which was most
appropriate and comforting. A per-
ennial invitation was extended Mr..
Sheppard to be present at u meet
ings. At the close of the address, the
union sang "Jesus Calls Us Ger the
Tumult."
A treat was in store for the audi
ence when Rev. A. B. Kennedy who
is nov the Baptist Camp Pastor at
Camp Jackson, was called upon to
make an address on "The Call of the
Camp in State Mission Work"
Recess hour was again congenially
passed, around an elaborate board of
~barbecued meats, bread and pickles,
arranged through the hospitality Of
the men of the church. Some one
asked if the Horns Creek people eX-
pected to Hooverize for this meeting,
and the response was, that they had
promised to do it, but that they had
been so long accustomed to whole
souled hospitality that they might
not be able to suddenly overcome
that habit. The repast was enjoyed
by everybody. Ice water was served
every day along with the dinner.

how all classes and professions may
help to win the war, the children be-
ing dressed in costumes.

publican society, all appointments
to this object having been met.
The Margaret Fund was presented
by Mrs. Walter Stevens, who also
gave an interesting paper on this
subject. The union is specially en-

whom many of US know, are bene-
fciaries of this fund.
Mrs. T. j.. Briggs who had been IN
charge of the literature table during
the sessions of the union, next made
her report on literature, and by her
reading and the thought contained
therein strengthened the convictions
of her hearers on the Importance of
our part in placing u denomina-
tional magazines in all our homes.
Mrs. W. B. Cogburn of Edgefleld
made an encouraging report on per-
sonal service gathered from the sta
tistics of all the societies.
