w. M. u. Pin Presented
To Mrs. w. d. Edwards

On Monday afternoon at the close OF
the business meeting of the w. NJ, S.
of the Baptist church, Mrs. w. d. Ed
wards, the efficient president. was
presented with a beautiful W. M. U.
pin by the ladies of the Missionary
Society. This was given in q spirit
of love and loyalty and to show the
deep appreciation the Society has OF
the noble work Mrs. Edwards has ac-
complished. This token of apprecia-
ton had its inception in the mind Of
Mrs. Geo. Patrick who, in charm
ing manner, presented the pin from
the ladies to Mrs. Edwards and in
the following beautiful words gave
vivid word picture of the origin and
symbolic meaning of the emblematic
design of the w. M U. pin, which
each member of the w. M. s. has the
privilege of wearing. In the Jubilate
year, 1913. the Woman's Missionary
Union adopted its pin; the design
was the gracious gift Of Miss Emma
M. Whitfield, of Richmond, Va, whose
mother presided when the Union was
organized in 1888. The design Of the
pin is very significant. In shane the
Pin represents a double fish head. In
the early days of Christianity rs fol
lowers were bitterly prosecuted, sc
they strove to hide their faith from
all except their friends. II was theil
custom to make the mark of a fist
head when they met one who nigh
be friendly but who might be an en-
envy. II the person was also a Chris
tian the sign was understood, but |
an enemy it meant nothing. To tn
Christian its meaning was very pre-
cious. for the letters which make u
the Greek work for fish are the frs

ton indicates that 1t will be for more
than $500. 900, 900, the remainder of
authorized but unissued bonds and the
fact that certificates OF indebtedness
