Instead Of having social on the
fifth Monday, about rs ladies Of the
Methodist Missionary Society pre-
pared picnic lunch and went to the
Dunlap Orphanage to spend the day.
The young ladies in charge had been
notified we were going and the chill
dren were given a holiday. When the
noon hour came the lunch was spread
on the shady lawn. Then the
orphans were invited to "help them
selves" for this was their picnic. The
30 bright little faces beamed with
happiness and they and those in at
tendance did justice to the dinner
Such an abundance had been carried
that enough was left for them to
have a picnic supper. After dinner
we We're shown through the building
Every department showed that it was
well kept, AT present the institution
is without a superintendent, but Miss
Lottie Kesner, assisted BY Miss Lottie
Anderson, is in charge and is doing a
noble work This was demonstrated
by the devotion Of the children shown
toward them. The farm and stock Is
being superintendent by Forrest Sher-
rill, bright boy Of II years, who is
one of the orphans. The boys obey
and respect Forrest as il he were the
real "boss." This is an institution
Upton county should be proud Of
and her people should visit it more
often. After singing songs and lis
tening to the orphans sing, the hour
came for us to say goodbye. The
ladies in charge of the orphans
implored us not to forget them and
to come again. We feel that this
was day well spent, for we helped
to scatter a little sunshine in the
path Of others and we have just had
an object lesson in real missionary
work in the persons Of the two noble
Young ladies who are caring for
Gods little ones until superinten-
dent can be secured.
Mrs. Guy Ray and father, Mr..
Floyd Crigger, of Prairie county,
Ark are here on visit to rela-
tives.
