missionary play given sunday night
by four little Junior Missionary girls,
Claudia Brown, Frances Shute, Mar
saret Lee and Kathryn Lee. under
the direction OF Mrs. G. G. Weaver.
The play centered around little girl
with many dolls giving party TO
some friends who also bro, ght their
dollies. One little girl, katherine
Lee, related how one young woman
In her neighborhood is going as a
missionary to China and she wants
some dolls to take TO the little Chi
nese girls as il helps so to win them
and their mothers to Jesus. Then
came the tug of two loves - and
each little guest decides She will give
her dolly and leaves the hostess,
Claudia Brown, still undecided. She
looks at her rag doll, then at her lit
tie baby doll and each in turn is de-
cided upon as the gift when her eyes
fall on her Green Doll, and she Is
ashamed that she was about to give
Jesus. who has given everything toI
her. anything but her best The song
she sings as she gives the Queen
Doll to Jesus was one OF the most
touchingly sweet sights anyone could
see as was testified by the moist eyes
in the congregation. Tryon Street
