Society met in the church parlors on
Thursday afternoon with Mrs. H.
Buechner, Cor. Secretary, presiding.
Devotionals were led by Mrs. C. L.
Farver. The topic was on giving, and
the scripture lesson was from Exc
dus. Mrs. Farver emphasized the fact
that money alone was not enough in
our giving, without the giving of our
selves in service, and never did the
church need service and sacrifice so
much as now, nor are the people so
we'll qualified to give as now. The
giving to the Christmas box was urg-
ed by Mrs. Buechner and although the
was much higher on this
date than at the Christmas season the
plea was met with cordial response.

us glimpses of oriental life as seen
