'"diyiduals -
The Wonn-...s-, ss.,nary society
met in the parlors qf Grace church
Monday afternoon, with about 45
members present.
The devotional exercises were con.
Quoted by Mrs. ]. M. Keller.
After the reading Of the carefully
prepared minutes of sthe secretary.
Mrs. Evelina Rice, which are always
an interesting event in these meet
ings, reports were made by various Of.
ficers and chairmen of circles. These
reports disclosed that many visits had
been made to the sick and to strang-
ers, trays carried to those who were
i'll, and neat sum remitted to the
conference treasurer, representing the
donations for three months. An ex-
treasurer of the society remembers
the time when only about one-sixth of
the amount of this remittance was Civ
en- during the whole year, which shows
4 very gratifying increase.
This year a special effort has been
made to secure new members, with
the result that there now lacks only
one or two of being 100 enrolled. Who
wishes the honor Of being the hun
dredth?
Among the pleasant things reported
was visit by the efficient president,
Mrs. c. T. Murphy, and some of the
other ladies of the auxiliary, to Mrs.
Sarah Brandon on her Doth birthday.
She has the distinction of being the
oldest member Of the society, and was
touched when some of it's members
brought her exquisite flowers, potted
plants and cake.
Mrs. J. w. Pollard, superintendent
Of Social Service, told of a visit to
the 19 inmates of the County Home.
The various circles of this society
had presented $40 sandwiches and
doughnuts to Ensign Davis, of the
Salvation Army, for which he was
very grateful. These were given to be
sold for the Salvation Army's benefit.
The corresponding secretary, Mrs.
R. p. Sweeney, read in her expressive
way a beautiful letter from Mrs.
Johnnie Sanders Bowen, of China, in
which she thanked the society for a
Christmas box sent to her and her
family. She also read letter from
f. M. Smith, president of the Single
Standard of Morals Club at the Uni
versity of South Carolina, in which
he expressed his thanks for a letter
recently written to him by the society,
extending commentator and good
wishes to the club. Here's hoping a
similar club will soon be established in
every male college in existence.
A touching appeal was made for a
contribution for the Vocational Work
Shop for the blind in Columbia. Mrs.
w. T. Beatty outlined plan by which
it is probable a substantial sum can
soon be given for this purpose.
Instead of the usual literary pro-
gram, Mrs. John R. Mathis, agent for
The Missionary Voice, told of the
many good and instructive things
u1hieln=tfIts -excellenA sasvss-einc com
tains, and read some extracts from
it showing what marvellous things
have already been accomplished by
the Centenary funds. She made such
1. forceful, convincing argument in be-
half of The Voice that it deserved to
win a subscription from every mem
ber present who is not a subscriber.
A number of other matters receiv-
ed attention, including delightful
surprise planned by Mrs. j. w. Pol
lard for some folks when Easter
comes. All of the circles are to have
part in this gift
