News
The League meeting was real in-
teresting last Sunday night and each
one seemed to desire to take his own
part. That Is the only way by which
we can hope to accomplish anything.
Our president Is not to be responsible
for every step; yet we realize that
we need him and he needs us to carry
on an effective meeting. So let us try
to work In harmony.
I understand that Mr. Thomas de
livered an Interesting sermon last
night bis text being "I Wish I Can
I Will."
We regret very much to hear that
we will soon lose two of our League
members. Miss Maggie Threlkelt
leaves tomorrow for Waco and we
sincerely hope that she has gained
something by being a member of this
League during the past. Mr. W. H.
Bates our former president but now
a strong League member also leaves
us next week. He has been a great
help to us here In more than one way
so it is with regret that we blot his
name off our roll. Nevertheless we
hope that he In return has received
his reward and will never forget this
little band of workers.
Our Sunday school was interesting
this evening although there were not
as many present as we usually have.
The Ladies' Aid Society will meet
tomorrow evening at Mrs. Fannie
