Mrs. Montgomery Resigns
From Council of Defense

Mrs. George F. Montgomery, who
has been the chairman for Cobb
County for the National Council of
Defense for the past year, has sent
her resignation to Mrs. S. M. Inman,
State president.
1t is to be regretted that Mrs.
Montgomery has given up this i'm
portant work for she has made a
very efficient chairman. She served
faithfully throughout the stress of
war work, but now that the need is
no longer so imperative, she feels that
other obligations demand her atten-
ton. A successor has not yet been
appointed.

About sixty people came last Sun
day afternoon to hear the lecture on
Church History by Mr. Russell-How-
land. Some good points were brought
out, though the lecture as whole
was rather rambling. The lecturer
was quite conscious ofthis fact, and
he explained it afterwards. He is
not accustomed to speaking in public,
and he became confused, as we all
do sometimes. But loving the Church
so much himself, he desired to lead
others to a study of its history. His
earnestness is shown by the fact that
in order to be here, he travelled seven
miles across country to Gainesville
Sunday morning, and then by train
to Marietta, and returned that night
and he is seventy-siX years of age!
The st. James Guild met with
Mrs. Hunt Monday. Much enthusi
asm was manifested. If that enthu-
siasm can be communicated to the
women who were not present, a re-
cord will be made that will be second
to none. The spirit of new year
was distinctly present. The new Of
ficers elected are: Mrs. Mcneil, Pres
ident; Mrs. B. G Brumby, Vice-Presi
dent; Mrs. Nolan, Secretary; Mrs
Stokes, Treasurer. Plans were made
for immediate work.
