On Sunday morning at the Bap-

The Cradle Roll of this Sunday
school was organized ten years ago,
and the first name of the roll was
that of little Ben Lee Allen, Jr.,
son of DR.. and Mrs. B. L. Allen.
Now there are seventy-six names on
the roll. Mrs. J. Fl. White is su-
perintendent of this department of
the Sunday school, and arranged
the program. Mr.. S. }. Watson,
superintendent, gave the Scripture
lesson, and Mr.. B. L. Reames Of
fered the prayer. The roll was
called, and each little one came for
ward and received carnation and a
flag, these being pinned on by Mrs.
Missouri Lott. Certificates of pro.
motion were also given. 1t was a
very sweet sight to see these little
ones as they vent up, or were car
ried up. The little twins of MIR.
and Mrs. Minis Walker and Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Padgett made a
happy picture.
Little Annie Lamar Lewis held
the Cradle Roll banner for all to
see.

Quoted, and several of the little
children did this beautifully in
songs and others ways.
The birthday cake was lighted
for little James Butler with three
candles.
A memorial was held for the two
little ones who had died recently,
and Mrs. White sang He Shall

Following the Sunday school ex-
ercises beautiful service was held
in the auditorium.
Rev. w. S. Brooke preached a
sermon most appropriate for the
day. His theme was the ideal
mother as exemplified in the life of
Hannah, and he emphasized two
points. the dignity and Importance
of motherhood, and how we should
honor mother.
Miss Heyward touchingly sang a
selection, Mother"
All over the audience every one
showed that they had mother in
mind, for there was not one but
who wore red flower for the living
mother and the white one for her
who had passed unto her reward.
For many years it has been the
custom of the Mary Anne Buie
chapter, U. d. c., to have a memo
rial address on Memorial Day, May

ate dead, but this year the program
was changed, that the veterans here
might accept the invitation of the
EdgeGeld chapter to be with them
on this occasion.
DR.. E. z. Jones was invited to
make the memorial address, and the
service was held on Sunday evening
at the Baptist church.
DR.. Jones stated that he would
preach a memorial sermon instead
of making an address, and his dis
course was one of the finest of the

verses as texts: Exodus 18th chap

Shall Be Unto You a Memorial"
II Samuel, 10th chapter and 5th
verse-"Be of good courage, and
