The Shakespeare ,61uq met in re-
gular session at the'Public Library
with Mrs. Hunter Woodruff, presi-
dent, calling the meeting to order.
Mrs. E. B. Blackwell led the group
in the pledge of allegiance to the
Flag, and Roll Call was answered
with promises from the Bible.
Mrs. T. L. Martin was in charge
of the program on the Bible. She
introduced her guest speaker, Mrs.
D. S. Jennings, who told of the
beauty of biblical phraseology, the
inspiration of the writers, and the
great message of the Bible. Mrs.
Martin then showed the great pic-
ture, Descent From The Cross
(Peter Paul Rubins) and told the
history of the picture. Mrs. Martin
is especially well qualified to speak
on this painting, having had a
course on it and other religious
paintings, at the University of Colo-
rado.
Mrs. Woodruff conducted a brief
business session, at which time
communications from Sixth Dis-
trict officers were read. The Club
adjourned to meet in the Red Cross
Center next Tuesday. After ad
journment, Mrs. Martin presented
Mrs. Jennings with a lovely potted
tulip to express her appreciation,
and that of the Club, for her fine
talk on the Bible.
'"pwENTY-NiNE years ago, in 1917, your
X Red Cross was given the proud title,
"The Greatest Mother Jn The world.’’ To-
day after the greatest struggle in history, that
title has been retained. The list of services
your Red Cross has given our Servicemen-
