CIRCLE DOES GOOD WORK
 AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Clothing orphans, helping young folks at the Juvenile court and rais- ing money for other worthy .auses is part of the every day life or Circle No. of the First Presbyterian church.,
 The women of this band stand out as benevolent force in the city. They are one of the six groups Of the Woman's Auxiliary of that church.
 One unusual feature of this circle is it's prayer band. which was or. ganized by Mrs. Joseph McLester. Every member of this band is pledged to pray for some special cause at definite time. Mrs. Me Lester also lectures to the circle from time to time on the principal epochs of the Bible. These lectures are a regular part aof the program except when home or foreign mis- sions are discussed. At each meet ing. following the lecture, the busi- ness is transacted. and then there is social hour, which is an added at traction. On the second third and fourth Monday in each month, the circle sends representative to the meeting.
 For it's special welfare work, Circle No. } undertook the clothing of an orphan in the Talladega orphanag ge. and help to the gils in the juvenile court. Together with Circle No. ?. they raised s30 for buying fall clothes for Alvin Aldridge at the orphan age. Two committees were appoint ed to visit the juvenile court each to make one visit a month. Various lines of work were attempted. but due to the changing nersonnel of the court no definite progress was made in any particular line Seeing the futility of pursuing a definite course, this circle chose for it's slogan Harry London's. The Might of a Mite of Cheer" and sent at numerous times candy. fruit and books to- the girls. and also material with which they might work.
 When this circle learned that it's quota of the church expense was sS25. at first the raising of it seemed an insurmountable task. faithful few. however. had faith in their ef- forts. and dix! not give up until the amount was in the treasury, and that without a single home being mortgaGed
 Over hundred dollars of the amount was raised from the sale of Christmas novelties. and another hundred came from a series of rum mage sales. The remainder was pledged by members of the circle.
 For tireless efforts and kind hearts. these women cannot be sur passed.
