we were so glad 10 nave Win US
at service last Sunday, visitors that
could herald the tidings of our
splendid sermon among the old
friends of our pastor Mr.. Bussey.
They still cherish memories of his
pastorate and deem it great pleasure
to come back home and be at Red
Oak Grove. Praises on all sides
could be heard of Mr.. Bussey's dis
course last Sunday, his theme being
"a good soldier.' Being broad
subject and a timely one too,' Mr..
Bussey acquitted himself with the
efficiency of a young Seminary stu
dent, and not man of'his years.
We hear good news from the
great Sunday School Convention
held last week in Greenwood. Too
much stress can not be put on Sun
day school work, because from ex-
perience we have learned, that is
the vital time in child's life.
Our Sunday school will observe
Mothers Day next Sunday imme-
diateiy after Sunday school. Some
delay in the mail prevents our Civ
ing definitely our programme this
week, as we had planed to do.
Mrs. Maggie Grifis has invited
the Y. w. AS. to meet with her
next third Sunday evening. The
girls are planning to impersonate
some of the graduates of the Train
ing School in Louisville, at this
meeting also will discuss the matter
of contributing box for the school,
each girl growing and preparing
their gift, to he sent at as early date
as will admit. They are using
Christian citizenship for girls as a
Mission Study passing the books
from one to the other and now soon
at Mrs. Lambs will have meeting

ate contests and other. pasttime of
some nature will be arranged. Mrs.

mess in the mission study lessons for

GREETED they had closed, and are

Measles and whooping cough has
not lost any time in this community
for the last four months. To US it
seems an awful bad.time for these
things to come upon us, as it is
busy work season, but all things
work together for good, for our
Heavenly Father ruleth it thus.
Miss Bertha Parkman who was so
critically iii last week, is improving

several days last week in Georgia
on fishing trip. We suspect the
former was fishing, but on dry
land.
Mr.. J. B. Zimmerman fir m Green
wood visited Mrs. Lamb and Mr..

homes.
