The Sunday school at Red Oak

year, reorganizing as follows: Mr.. w.
NJ. Agner superintendent, Mr.. j. M.
Fam, secretary and treasurer, Mr..
George Bussey, Bible class teacher,
and Mr.. James Rearden, assistant. 1t
is encouraging to the superintendent
of the Sunday school to have the pa
rents and especially the deacons of
the church present any time, but
more so on reorganization days. Mr..
George Bussey being called away on.
account of sickness was the only
deacon absent so he being reelected
as Bible teacher, the Sunday school
should have the full cooperation and
full assurance of the fact; and go
bravely forward.
The w. M. S. held business meet
ing Immediately after Sunday school,
the time being carried back to the
original date, second Sunday in each
month. The Christmas offering will
be forwarded by the last of the quar-
ter. Small gifts are as acceptable in
the Lords treasury as any, provided
it be given as widows mite. May we
be sure that we are honest about the
matter.
The study classes in the wo-
mans auxiliaries have their interest
ing features, which are quite helpful
and encouraging.
Mrs. Fannie Bush was hostess on

had as her guests for dinner Mrs. j.
M. Bussey and Mrs. T. w. Lamb.
Miss Thelma Dorm. who has recent
ly been promoted from the Sunbeam

Lined up or rather packed around /.
the tabernacle in Jacksonville, we
viewed the estimate of twenty thou
sand people who had gathered to hear
this wonderful divine, but only the
seating capacity of twelve or fifteen
thousand were admitted. However,
it was not first come, first served in
that instance, though we gained
much by the experience and obserb-
ing, preferring not to take chances,
as some did, to be first. The Times
Union next morning stated many ar
ticles were gathered up after the
crowd dispersed and would be adyer-
tised, that the losers might obtain
them. Among them were slippers,
hats, (men's and women's) jewelry,
wraps, boxes, candy and numerous
other things. Babies and children
were not the only victims who came
near benig overcome in the jam, for
we gave room to faint!ng woman,
which we were not so fortunate in
gaining, hence were left among the
outsiders.
By the way, having on identifca-
ton badge, it was observed by w.
NJ. u, and in that way we were soon
acquainted, and much interesting
news was related concerning the
mission work being done at that time
in the Everglades. There, as i'll many
places, leaders and laborers are
wanted. ~.
We are glad to learn that Antioch
has secured Rev. Mr.. Allen to preach
for them. There are several pastor
less churches in our association now.
1t is wise plan for Sunday schools
and other church organizations to
feel double responsibility upon
them when without a pastor and en-
deavor to do even more to keep up
the church work.
Well, among the numerous RENE
dies to overcome the boil weevil, the
latest comes to us from the sugges-
tion of an old colored man, which he
says is to "spray de cotton wild Ticker,
den de weeble will jes as lefe go to
de briar patch as de cotton, same as
if man what drink de stuff jes es
soon be at one place as tother."
