Much interest has been created
through the history of the various
Sunday School Glasses of Lincoln
NJ E. Church. Since number OF
original members have moved from
Lincoln, the Glass History from
different classes will be presented
each week through the Lincoln
column. Following is the Class
History from the Loyal Workers
Glass:
We were promoted from the Pri-
mary Department in the year 1913.
The original members of the class
were as follows: Helen Dawson,
/ (dec), Eta Clendaniel, Edith Carey
(dec.), Lottie Warren, Francis
Carey (dec.), Anna Truitt, Zelda
Clendaniel, Irene Cook, Ruth Glen
daniel, Amanda Adkins. Thelma
Calhoun, Gladys Hall, Hazel Sou
thard, Ellen Hatfield (dec.) Mary
Bethards.
In order to be promoted we had
to memorize & repeat in unison be-
fore the entire school the follow
ing: Beautitudes, 23rd Psalm, The
Ten Commandments and The Lords S
Prayer. Mrs. Fred Harder was
Primary Supt., and Miss Marguer-
ite Christine Clendaniel was our
teacher. At this promotion, we were
awarded medals.
Mr.. r. H. DerricksOn was the S.
S. superintendent. We were placed
in the class taught by Mrs. Sallie
Derrickson which was located
where Mrs Elizabeth ClendaniePs
class is at present. Later we were
transferred to Miss Bessie Glen
daniels class, a spot now being
occupied by Mr.. Russell Bradley's
Glass of young men.
During the year 1914 we were
again changed to Miss Blanche
Pettyjohn's Glass which was loca-
ted in a corner which the Mems
Bible Glass now occupies. Miss
Pettyjohn named the Glass, Buds
of Promise. We were all given
pins with the name inscribed there
on. Miss PettyjOhn later moved
from Lincoln. She was replaced by
Mrs. Helen Chipman Hall who
later had to leave Lincoln also.
Mrs. Eva Donovan volunteered to
teach the class until another teach
er was assigned.
Since the mems Glass wanted our
space, we then moved over to the
entrance of the Church, this portion
now bing occupied by Mrs. Hazel
SWANS class of girls. Still an
other change in location was made
when class of boys was promoted
from the Primary Department into
the Sunday School Department. We
then settled to a spot where Harry
Swain has his class of young boys.
In 1917, Mr. Walter Ireland was
elected Sunday School Superinten-
dent, having served as Assistant
Superintendent during the year
1916. How we'll we remember his
favorite song, Brighten the Cor
ner Where You Are. 1t was dur
ing his term of service that our
Sunday School hour was changed
from 200 p. m. to 11:00 a. m. We
all thought so much of Mr.. Ireland,
for seeing that we went to some
other spot for our Sunday School
picnic rather than Slaughter Beach.
Our first trip to Oak Orchard
will long be remembered. We left
the Church at 1880 a. m. in an
open truck, got as far as the
Townsend orchards and had engine
trouble. We arrived at our destina-
tion around 2:30 D. m. Our parents
had used other means of transpor-
tatiOn and had the box lunches
