spring.
Mrs. Catherine Prettyman, wife of
N. E. Prettyman, has received notice
from Washington of her appoint
ment as postmistress at Glendale.
She will assume the duties attached
to the office at an early date.
Fred Ireland spent Monday in
Chester and arrived home the same
night with a spanking new automo-
bile.
School Notes
The P. T. A. had a splendid meet
ing on Wednesday night of last
week. The school auditorium was
comfortably filed.
A program of singing and play
entitled "Colored Mock Wedding"
was presented in a very pleasant
manner. Mrs. Grace Smiths pupils
presented some very handsome pic
lures of scenes in Switzerland. Mrs.
E. T. Wilson's scholars sang several
songs and gave some very creditable
recitations. Those who were pres
ent were highly pleased.
Church News
The church school Sunday morn
ing was fairly well attended. Many
of the scholars have been suffering
with severe colds. Perhaps when
the robins and blue birds sing their
sweetest songs and the weather be-
comes soft and balmy, some of the
ground hogs will desert their holes
and will once more become one OF
us. The topic was general review
of the lessons of the past quarter.
It was interesting, because it
brought to our minds in fresh
manner the things that Jesus did
while upon earth. A work assigned
to Him by the Father above and not
finished until He shed His blood
upon the cross. These things con4
cerning the life work of Jesus will
be brought out more vividly as we
proceed with the lessons of the pres
ent quarter. 1t is a wonderful study
and brings to our minds and hearts
the great drawing power that Jesus
has over the lives of women and
men.
If you wish to learn about the
life of the Master, church school
class No. 1, Clarence Abbott, tea
cher, holds out at all times a well
come for you.
The class meeting which generally
follows the church school was not
held for want of attendance. This is
bad, and doesn't speak well for a
live church.
Better read a sermon preached by
Bishop Leete where he advised the
pastors in the pulpit and the lay
men in the .pews to get back to the
old time religion. This was very
good advice, don't you think so?
The evening service of the Ep-
worth League was the only service
held. Miss Hazel Derrickson, leader,
certainly presented an entertain !
ment of more than usual Importance. |
The readings, recitations and solos,
both vocal and instrumental, were of
high order and shed lustre on all
who took a part in it. All who were
present were thoroughly entertain
ed and must thank Miss Derrickson
for presenting such a pleasing pro-
gram.
Those scholars of the church
school members of the Junior de-
Dartment who made perfect attend
ance during the first quarter were:
Irene Smith in Busy Bees class; Ed
ward Smith and David Houseman in
Willing Hands class.
