RED OAK GROVE.
Red Cross Workers Very Busy.
Service Flag Exercises
to Take Place Next "
Sunday.

Really, our section has seemed al
most in isolation for a period of six
weeks, due in part to fear of infuen-
"a rather the quarantine, because
many would not venture out even
after the ban was off. Then, when the
weather is unfavorable in the coun-
try Sunday is, oh, so lonely for the
young folks. For US, though, we
catch up with our reading that has
been put to itself, and writing too,
that possibly should have had our at
tention earlier. So rainy Sundays are
sometimes better for us. Inasmuch as
the Sunday schools and churches feel
the effects of the abandonment Of
services, that naturally causes some
regrets.
Last Sunday was to have been or
phanage day in our Sunday school
but the weather prevented attend
ance. Much is being written and con-
sidered on the country church now
and we read with interest every arti-
Gle, for the sinew of our churches in
the city is often influenced by those
churches whose foundation work was
laid in the country Sunday school.
Besides, the army and navy boys OBJ
serve this ruling among their COM
rades and even with their superior
officers. We must not get discourag-
ed and allow any indifference toitake,
possession now. The matter is of Vi
tai importance. We can not afford to
let "our boys" return to find the
work secondary and Ineffective with
those of US whose influence enabled
them to face with courage and con-
fidence the ordeals Of these great war
times.
The Red Cross workers are quite
busy now with their knitting. Mrs.
Mamie Bussey and Miss Mamie, also
Mrs. j. T. Grifis have finished swea-
tier each, besides having done work
for the CommuniiS5y Service X Jam!
The committee appointed at.
our last monthly meeting
Cross to solicit members must not be-
come discouraged but try harder II
possible to add more to the Red Cross
treasury for every dollar means un-
told good, in ways too many to men
ton. We have an illustrated PAM
phlet we will be glad for our collect
ors to exhibit as they can, when soh-
citing memberhip.
We regret not having the program
complete for the flag service which is
. to take place next Sunday afternoon
at Red Oak Grove at two-thirty. Not
having Sunday school last Sunday de-
ferred our plans in having complete
details ready to announce, but we
invite our friends and the puolic in
general to come and be with Us.
There will be our usual monthly
service in the forenoon previous to
the flag service in the afternoon.
It was our privilege to be in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Calbraith Mur-
rah last Monday night. We missed the
presence Of our honored friend, the
late Mr.. John Matthews. bit apDre-
ciated the evidence that Mr.. Murrah
was following the beautiful example
in having family worship which his
uncle had taught him.
. It is always a real treat to enjoy
the splendid hospitality of Mrs. Ollie
Bunch and family, and to come in
; touch with the sanity spirit Of dear
Aunt Trese Adams who has many
times come into our own home, max
ing us feel better for having her moth
erly counsel and tender love extend
ed us. We found her quite active
and able to sit with us till late bed
time.
/ We regretted to learn that the en-
tire family of Mr.. Evans Barker is
quite i'll with influenza.
