Church school class No. IL wa
highly entertained on Wednesda,
evening of last week at the audi
torium of the school building, b!
Mrs. Charles S. Adkins and Mrs. Fl
4. Smith. The invitation cards SEN
to the members of the class were
hand painted and really showed
much skill. The members of the
class and their friends assembled in
the auditorium at 1880 p. m. After
the business meeting was over
there was rendered a program oi
singing, readings and reeitations
which were of the highest standard
and reflected credit on all those who
took a part in them. Games of diff
ferent kinds were engaged in-but
the most fun was had in guessing
the originals of photographs or pic
lures which many had been taken
or printed, some at least fifty years
ago.
The tables which were set for the
entertainment of their guests was
something to brag about The pure
snow white table cloths with can
dies and sprigs of holly adorning
them-place cards with the name of
each guest present beautifully wcit-
ten on them. The receptacles for the
salted peanuts were in the shape of
small baskets which were beautiful
and the setting of the table as a
whole showed great thought and
skill of the entertainers.
The refreshments served consist
ed of cake, ice cream and different
kinds of candy which were thor
oughly enjoyed by those present.
1t was a wonderful night of plea
sure and the. guests upon depar-
ture, thanked Mrs. Adkins and Mrs.
Smith for providing such an enter
tainment which had given so much
happiness to all who were present.

There are other classes in the |
Church school and some of them
much larger than Glass No. II, that |
could do great things if they would
0nly try and at the same time ce-
ment their membership closer To-
gether, by meeting once every
month in the homes Of some mem
Der of the class. Try it?
Owing to the storm prevailing on
Sunday the Church school was very
'limly attended. Those who were
present enjoyed a session of instruc-
ion and had explained to them in a
very lucid manner things bearing on
he lesson for. the day.
