Presbyterian Women
Have Regular
Meeting February 18
The Central Presbyterian Asso-
ciation met in the church parlors
in regular session Feb. IB with
Mrs. Alice Wright and Mrs. J. K.
Miller as hostesses. Mrs. Lynn
Adams opened the meeting with
prayer and presided. Minutes of
the preceding meeting and com-
munications were read by Mrs.
H. C. Meador.
Mrs. K. W. Sneed had charge
of the program on the theme,
The Sun Never Sets on the Re-
sponsibility of the Presbyterian
Church and the subject, “Advance
on World Christian Frontiers”.
The first bridge ever men-
tioned was the rainbow, a bridge
of covenant and understanding
between God and man. When
we see this beautiful symbol in
the skies, we are reminded that
there is a road over which man
may always travel to God,” said
the leader, introducing a brief
devotional as she presented a
skit, Alerted for Action, in three
episodes. Three ideas were pre-
sented in the skit, as follows:
Episode I—Problem: “Growing
Pains”; Episode II — Problem:
“Family Troubles”; Episode III—
Problem: “Security”. Participants
in the skit were: Mrs. Harry
Bounds, “Mother Earth”; Mrs.
Gussie Weaver, “Father Time”;
“23rd Psalm”, Jimmie Bounds.
Mrs. George Stubbs, speaker,
with interruptions, for the Epi-
sodes, spoke on “Silliman’s Uni-
versity Goes into Second Half
Century”; “Christian Community
Service”; and “The Hand of God
in Korea”. Mrs. Henry Meador
and Mrs. Dick Wimberly gave
the music in piano and voice.
Mrs. Karl Kumke and Mrs. Maud
Riley gave the Bible readings,
which contributed the impressive
devotional throughout the pro-
gram. Attention was called to a
few ways in which the church is
organizing the efforts of all Chris-
tians to witness more effectively,
that the world-wide Christian
Mission exerts a mighty influence
to that end.
“Our convictions tnat whether
peace or war lies before us, Chris-
tian faith is adequate to meet
the situations as we face the
present and approach the future,
prayerful in spirit, courage and
confidence in action, with utter
dependence on God,” concluded
the leader.
Mrs. Adams gave the special
prayer and benediction.
The hostesses, assisted by Mrs.
J. P. Stubbs, passed a delicious
refreshment plate, Adding “char-
ry” favors. A large “G.ohe of the
World” centered the table and
lovely arrangements of greenery
with floral decorations, made an
attractive setting for ;he assem-
bly.
Terry Wimberly and Mark
Drumwright of Dallas were honor
guests.

"George Littlefield, Texan". Mrs.
very vividly told the life of this
great Texan. She first told of
his early life here in Texas and
then related his experiences in
the war between the states.
George Littlefield was a cRttle
man, being one of the first Tex-
ans to drive his cattle to market
in Abilene, Kansas. He owned
several ranches, including the
LIT, the LBD, and one or two
in New Mexico. The town of
Littlefield is named for him since
most all of the surrounding land
was originally part of a ranch
which he sold to farmers. George
Littlefield was very prominent in
politics, being a close friend of
Jim Ferguuson. Littlefield, who
was on the Board of Regents of
the University of Texas, con-
tributed freely to the university.
He gave the side walks around
the 40-acre site to the university;
gave the library; many rare books
of the Wrenn Library; built the
Alice Littlefield Dormitory for
freshman girls; erected the monu-
ment to the leaders of the Con-
federacy at the main entrance,
and gave one-half million dollars
toward construction of the Main
Building. George Littlefield died
in 1920 and was buried in Austin.
After the program a delicious
salad plate was served to the
members of the club and their
guests.
The next meeting will be held
March 12 in the home of Mrs.
John Munroe with Mrs. George
Ramsey as co-hostess. This meet-
ing will be a Fine Arts program
and has been designated as
