The Primary Picnic

The Primary Picnic
The picnic held by the primary
department of Glendale M. E. Sun.
day school, on Saturday. afternoon
July 18, was a great SUCCESS when
we take into consideration these
who had the matter in charge, it is
no wonder it was such u grand
success.
Miss Rachel Coverdale, supel in
tendent, Mrs. r. ]. Clendaniel, Miss
Hyacinth Lynch ana Mrs. Albert
Millman, teachers, made combina-
tion which meant success from the
start and this with the help of their
assistants and the parents of the
children made a gathering of the
little tots which will be long remem-
bered by those present.
Everybody was happy and all will
ing to do their part, which in an eff
fort of this kind, made everything
move smoothly.
Sixty-five grown-ups and children
were present. All were literally SER
we'd with ice cream.
1t was the universal opinion of all
who attended the gathering of the
little ones that it was the most COM
plete in every way of any undertake
ing of this kind ever held before.
The thanks of the parents of the
children who attend the primary de-
partment of Glendale NJ. Z. school
is due those who have charge of the
little tots in both the classes and
cradle roll, who spared no efforts to
make the meeting at the park on
Saturday the credit to the church to
which they belonged.
Ladies Aid To Meet
The Ladies Aid of the Glendale
NJ. e. Church will meet at the sum-
mer home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry w.
Jester, Slaughter Beach, on Monday
evening, July q. All members are
requested to attend.
Church School To Picnic
Glendale M. E. Church school
will picnic at Oak Orchard on We'd
nesday, July 29. The members of the
school and friends also are invited
to join the crowd, and spend a
pleasant day on the river shore.
The Church school Sunday morn
ing was only slimly attended. 1t was
quite a fall off from last Sunday
when 100 scholars and teachers
were present. We suppose the wea-
ther had something to do with the
attendance. The weather has been
extremely hot; some made this an
excuse for not going to church, but
find the weather extremely right for
going to some other places. Is this
not so?
The lesson for the morning
rChristian Sharing With Others"
The person who is real Christian
is always willing to share with
others who are less fortunate.
The Christians of the early days !
who had lands or money sold them
and laid the proceeds at the Apos-
ties feet and distribution was made
to those in need.
True, religion teaches many
things. 1t changes our own system
of living and makes our lives con-
form to the teachings of the Mas
ter. If it does not do this then we
are not following in the pathway
which was designated by Jesus when
upon earth.
If we notice with what indiffer-
ence many so called Christians
treat the church, by refusing to help
pay the pastor and also contribute
to the different needs of the church
in the way of benevolence, so that
the work of the Master may go for
ward without hindrance. Many are
people of means who are guilty of
these things and some who have
means try to shirk out by not pay
ing as much as they should do.
Perhaps it would be well to adopt
The policy of the Christians of the
early church, to sell all and COM
Oine in one fund-then the church,
The poor would receive their just
;hare-then the instructions of Jes-
is to His Apostles to instruct the
people everywhere to be generous at :
Ill times and obey the Golden Text
when it says: HE Himself said it /
S more blessed to give than to re- ]
,eive." Acts 2O-35. !
Morning Sermon :'. !
The pastor preached very inter !
sting sermon, based on the book of
jeremiah 5:20. Hear now this, o
oolish people and without under /
tanding, which have eyes and see !
