pastor, arrived Sunday morning from
New York where he delivered an adj
dress before the Eastern Branch OF
the American Theological Society, an
organization composed of professors
of theology and philosophy in
seminaries for the training of min
listers. The Eastern branch includes
all of the Atlantic States and there
were representatives at the meeting
from nearly all of the theological
seminaries in the district.
DR.. Martins subject at the morn
ing service in Sophia Bailey Men,
orial Chapel was based on the text
found in Hebrews VII: 16-"The
Power of an Endless Life" The
sermon was a beautiful continuation
of the message of the Easter sea-
son. The choir rendered the
"Sanctus' from Gounod's St.
Cecilia Mass, Misses Norcross and
Wetherbee singing the solos.
The veSper service of the Oak
Grove Christian Association was in
charge of the Missionary Committee
of which Elizabeth Martin is chair
man. Each member of the committee
had part in the meeting. With
Missions as the general subject,
Dorothy Wheeler spoke on the
Training of Missionaries" Elizabeth
Martin on Personal work of Mis-
sionaries," Emma Hummer. on
Anecdotes on the lives of Mission
aries and Letha Bailey, on How
People at Home can Help" The
meeting was made more enjoyable
and profitable by vocal solo by
Dorothy Wheeler.
The Sunday School conducted by
the Oak Grove girls for the children
of the community has stood the test
to which all similar organizations are
subjected and has come through"
with honor. 1t Is the experience of
Sunday School workers that attend
ance before festival is almost 1000
but afterwards 1t drops until the ap-
proach of another festival. Last
Sunday, there was held. as reported
in these columns, the Easter enter
tainment in which each child had a
part. Today, the attendance was as
near 10000 as the health of the chill
dren would permit, showing, among
children for their teachers, the
gratitude of the parents for the
establishment of the Sunday School
and the desire of both children and
parents for instruction concerning
the Christ.
