“Past Finding Out” by Dan E. L.
Patch for members of the Pris-
cilla circle of the Bible Presbyter-
ian church at their meeting Mon-
day in the home of Mrs. Peter
Robinson, 901 Gladney street.
The story concerns an atheist

Mrs. Arie Gudgell, circle presi-

meeting, in which the class mis-

underprivileged family, was dis-
cussed. Miss Jo Gilbert opened
the meeting with prayer.
