One of the pleasantest social
events of the season was shower
given at the home Of Mrs. M. E.
Abrams in honor of Miss Louise
Best.
Miss Best is the eldest daughter
of Rev. A. Il. Best. She graduated
from Lander college last June. She
has spent the past two summers here
and by her striking personality and
consecration to the Masters cause
has won al hearts.
She leaves US now to devote some
two years to study at Scaritt Bible
school, Kansas City, Mo-, after which
she will become a missionary.
So this shower was given to our
own missionary of whom we are very
proud. At the conclusion of the
regular monthly meeting of the
Methodist missionary society Mrs. J.
M. Major came with large Japa-
nese parasol filed with numerous
costly gifts, and opening the parasol
displayed them at the feet of Miss
Best. Mrs. Z. H. Suber, president of
the society, with her hand resting
gently on the young girls shoulder
made a beautiful farewell address.
Her words were so well chosen that
they touched all our hearts.
Miss Best responded in a very
pleasing manner, saying in part, that
she would give herself heart and
soul to the work and with the pray
.ers of so many dear friends, who
were bidding her God speed, she
could not think of failure.
Rev. Peele of Newberry and Rev.
A. H. Best were honored guests on
this occasion. Cake and cream were
served.
