Color harmony In accessories
might be mentioned here too, so
take heed. Last but most import
ant is to know when to wear what
you do wear. Frills must not be
worn in the morning or at work
unless there is a party in session
The school girl might take note Of
this also.
Afternoon and evening clothes

All children marched from
our room out along the side

if they brought some other

REPORT FROM

Note: Overseer Frank Robin

under date of July 9Th, 1949,
as follows:
Dear Overseer Mintern:
We closed our Daily Vaca-
ton Bible School last week and
were much gratified at the way
the children memorized por-
lions of Scripture. Mrs. Arthur
Larson and several of the moth
ers gave us good assistance, al
SO Mrs. De Vault, neighbor,
and young art teacher, Miss
Tagg.
The theme of our D. v. B. S.
program was "Our Inheritance
through Our Lord Jesus
Christ" LIST. Peter 1 :3-5, which
passage we had written out on
the chart and was one of the
passages all the children men,
orized, except the very young.
We had a good supply of pic
lures of various scenes in the
Old and New Testament, which
the children colored with cray
ons and these were in book
form for them to keep.
Also each child had a sheet
of paper with a grape vine up
on it and this vine had several
roots. Each root had Scrip
ture text that had to be mem
orized before it could be col
ored brown. The tap root was
John 1877, also another root
was Ephesians 3:17-21.
Fifteen of the older children
gave a play with refernce to
Our Inheritance" adapted
from the scene Paul before Fe-
llX. The costumes were made

We had Mr.. and Mrs. Sexton
and their children with us last
Lords Day at the services.
They are renting a house about
a mile from here. Mrs. Sexton
was Mary Baker and she lived
with us at the Bethel with her
parents, when a young girl.
There is considerable to do
on the building yet, painting,
finishing doors and windows,
etc. | hope to get the lettering
on the front soon. We thank
God for the way things are 60
ing along, for His boundless
mercy, love and grace and for
the fellowship of His children.
We are glad you have had
another good year with the

the cement walks and the main
