Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

These are exceptionally beautl-
full days to be out-of-doors. Per
haps one of the reasons all OF
us seem to enjoy it is the fact
of our good rain of last week.
Good Friday was a good" Fri
day for more than one reason.
When rain drenches the earth
and the sun warns it to cause
the seed to grow into bloom, in
deed we are made more aware
of Gods goodness.
Monday morning, was in one
of Ohio's big cities. I just could
not help believing that as long as
our big cities still had folks of
integrity, we needn't worry a
great deal about whether our
country was breaking at the
seams. We had parked the car
and some way l had dropped my
billfold out of my purse. When
we returned to the car, a man
came toward us asking if there
were an Evelyn Weaver in the
car. l said was she. He had
picked up my billford and waited
around, evidently, until someone
returned to the car. 1t just re-
stores ones faith in the goodness
of man, too.
Next week is certainly another
big week for yours truly. There
wouldn't be too many of you
who have heard of Muriel Lester.
She certainly would be classed
as one of the great Christian
saints or disciples of the Goth
century. Miss Lester gave up her
wealth and even her great musi-
cal ability to devote her life to
the East London slum dwellers.
Miss Lester will be speaking in
Cambridge this Sunday evening
at the Ninth Street Methodist
church. Some of you have al
ready received fliers and letters
from me. Young people, l believe
would especially enjoy hearing
her.
The following day, on Monday,
some twenty deaconesses and
representatives from our confer
ence, will be meeting at Cald-
well. 1t is our annual Conference
Deaconess Board. Then on Tues
day, l am reviewing a book for
our monthly book club meeting.
And on the next day, l will be
in Mt. Vernon to speak to a
church group.
Thursday is our district
Woman's Society spring meeting
at st. Clairsville. If there are
women in the county who wish
a ride, contact me.
This week, you will be getting
information concerning our Mis-
sionary Banquet at Caldwell on
May 3. This is also a time when
we make our new pledge for the
coming year.
