Mr.. Ed Bunch, our earnest and
faithful moderator, dispensed with

We hope the divisional meeting of
our w. M. U. will be large attended,

children in the Sunbeams, who are
willing little workers. The greatest
need among them is more encourage

the parents. No one thing helps the

helping good work in the Sunday
Schools, by seeing that the small
child's Sunday School book is kept
in place and not abused.
