RED OAK GROVE.
Sunday School District Associa-
ton. Circle No. 2 Met
With Mrs. Agner. Y.
w. A. Met.

During the vacation period may the
young people often reflect as did
Benjamin Franklin, eff man empty
his purse in his head no man can take
it away from him." and attend our
great Bible Institute at Greenville.
We are anxious that some may repre-
sent the Edgefeld association and
among them at least one from each of
our churches. knowledge without
Christ is dangerous, but knowledge
through Christ is power. To know the
will of our Lord is education, that is,
Righteousness understood.
RED Oak Grove was we'll represent
ed at Modoc last Sunday at the Sun
day School district association. The
lecture by Miss Holland on Sunday
School grading was of great interest
and was rendered and illustrated so
simply that children could under
stand. The Importance of the work of
the Sunday School was indelibly en-
phasized. We are always so glad for
Sunday School work to be stressed,
for unquestionably the Importance of
it needs to be stamped on the minds
of the parents or the Sunday School
would not go into winter quarters as
so often is the case in the rural dis
tricts.
Circle No. 2 of the w. M. U. will
be entertained by Mrs. Nettie Agner.
Mrs. Daisy Clegg will conduct the
meeting. Our last meeting was not
largely attended, but one fact of en-
couragement was that every member
present showed that she had given
some part of the subject earnest stu
dy, proving a growing interest.
The last meeting of the Y. W. A.
was very interesting. The girls imper-
sonated several missionaries in China,
and asked the young men to help. Mr..
Perry Hamilton as Mr.. ]. M. Bryan,
Mr.. Jeff Sharpton as Mr.. Stevenson
and Mr..J. M. Rodgers was imperson-@
lated by Mr.. Clarence Bush nchss
l:SS young M nan Sc niesfy and @slH soR
dered his part, making the z.-.1> real
ize that they must continue to do the
very best or the boys will excel.
The girls find the idea of growing
and preparing product for the train
ing school box this fall to be quite
fascinating. One of the girls planted
a corn patch that was lovely until eat,
en- to the ground by cows. This did
not cause much Encouragement for
she says that late corn with tomatoes
makes just as good soup.
One girl expresses delight that al
though she cannot cultivate a product
her health permits her the pleasure Of
making a glass of nice jelly. Some
one is silently planning for the pack
ing day and that will be the time for
each girl to express and convey with
her gifts some peronal sentiment.
Everybody's attention will be turn
ed to War Savings Stamps this week
and we hope none will be slackers.
Our neighbor boys are leaving for
training one by one. Calls are being
sounded in every district and sadness
abounds but not to be compared with
the joy of victory they will bring.
One widowed mother, giving two of
three sons said, "Unless my boys go,
if they can, could not feel that this
country was mine when we win" It
is lovely to think of the sentiment
prompted by self sacrifice and on the
whole that is true patriotism.
