School Notes
The Milford Grange which gave
such a splendid play "Old Acre
Folks" at the school auditorium Oh
February 3, requires more than {
passing notice. The play as g
whole was perfect, and the charac-
ters represented could not have been
better presented Those who failed
to witness this play missed a treat.
The attendance should have been
much larger as the play was given
under the auspices of the P. T. A. of
| Ellendale and the receipts are to be
used for the benefit of the p. r. A..
and also for the benefit of the schOl-
ars belonging to the public schools
of Ellendale. Please bear this in
mind in the future, and help all you
possibly can.
Church News
The EpwOrth League social met at
the auditorium of the public school
building on Wednesday evening of
last week. A very fine meeting was
held. Those present had a very
pleasant time. Mrs. C. A. TimmOns
and Mrs. r. J. Clendaniel were the
entertainers for the evening. Too
much cannot be said about the Ep-
worth League. 1t is one of the strOn-
gest auXiliaries the Methodist Epis-
cOpal Church has, and outside of the
church school does more to build !
up the church than any other force
that could be named.
But to have a successful league
there must be loyalty on the part OF
all members. Nothing that does not
SAVIOR of Christianity, must not in
tervene. Members should not accept
offices and then not serve. Nothing(
will destroy the influence of any
league as the continued absence Of
its officers.
Ellendale has only one church and
that belongs to the Methodist Epis-
cOpal denomination. What a wonder
full league could be had if all would
pull together and a work could be
which would be last
ng in quality. Get together and
1uild Glendale EpwOrth League up
o that force and power which will
show at all times that spirit OF
which should pervade
svery piece and parcel of the insti-
utiOn and cause it to be power in
he land for good.
