MEETING OF W. M. U.

tist Church held its regular meeting
Monday afternoon at the church
with twelve members present.
The meeting was opened by sing-
ing “The Touch of His Hand on
Mine." Scripture reading, Acta 2nd
chapter, wu followed by the Lord’s
Prayer in concert. The lesson on
“The Coming of the Holy Ghost”
was conducted by Mrs. Orand.
In the business session we voted
to discontinue our meetings for the
months of July and August.
The most enjoyable part of the
meeting was the music and singing
furnished by the Willing Workers.
This society composed of the young
ladies from the different churches
of the town, is organized for the
purpose of Bible study, and should
have the encouragement of every
one. We would be glad to have all
the young people in town join them.
