Theme, "Come to Learn, Go Forth
to Serve"
We are very sorry to report the
serious illness of Mrs. Anna T.
Hawkins, who is in Delaware Hos.
pital, Room 313, Wilmington, Della
ware. She underwent surgery on
Friday of LAST week for a lung
tumor. She came though the oper-
alton all right and the doctor says
her condition seems fairly good.
We do hope she makes a speedy
recovery. She will be very glad to
receive cards from her many
friends. A card or letter means a
lot when one is ill, especially when
they are away from home and their
own folks and friends.
Mr.. Leroy Cain, also resident
of our town, is i'll in Milford Me-
mortal Hospital A visit or card
would cheer him up maybe, so
Cont forget to send one, and too,
may his recovery be speedy as we
miss seeing these peoples faces
when we do not see them in church
on Sunday morning.
