Church Women
Celebrate Birthday
At 7:30 o’clock on Sunday, May
25, the fortieth birthday of the or-
ganization of thp Women of the
Church of the Presbyterian Church,
U. S., was commemorated with a
program at the First Presbyterian
Church in Clifton.
The program, the same as that
held at other Presbyterian Church-
es throughout Texas, concerned the
two objectives of the birthday of-
ferings taken at the celebrations
in the churches—$75,000 to go to
Stillman College at Tuscaloosa, Ala-
bama, (Presbyterian college for
Negroes) to endow a Chair of Bible
and all monies offered above that
figure to go to the Sunday School
Extension Work of the Church in
the South.
Included on the Sunday night
program in Clifton were Reverend
E. G. Tomkinson, master of cere-
monies; Mrs. V. D. Goodall, who
led the devotional; Mrs. J. B. Dar-
den Jr., who gave the “History of
Stillman College”; Mrs. Julian
Kuehl, who discoursed on the
“Work of Stillman College;” Mrs.
Irene Westley, who told of the
“Accomplishments of Stillman Col-
lege, with Mesdames Harry Wom-
ack, Ned Cooper, and W. C. Hurst
reading testimonials from former
students at Stillman College; Mrs.
Phil Gilliam, who explained the
“Sunday School Extension Work;
and Mrs. Francis Fossett, who told
of the “Accomplishments of the
Sunday School Extension Work.'
Members and visitors present al-
so enjoyed a quartet, composed of
Misses Sue Farmer and Joy Trotter
and John Beaver and David Hall
and directed by Miss Lois Rea,
who sang “Lord I Want To Be A
Christian.” The audience also was
privileged to hear Mrs. R. O. Bass
render special organ selections be-
fore and after the program.
Following the program birthday
cake and punch were served to
the members of the congregation.

Letter To Editor
CARD OF THANKS
Late last week the Record editor
received the following letter from
Reverend J. Magnus Rohne, of
Rolling Forks Parsonage, Route 1,
Sedan, Minnesota, which will be
of interest to his many friends in
Bosque County.
“Dear Friend,
“Enclosed find a check for ano-
ther year’s subscription to the
Record.
“We are busy indeed. Next Sun-
day I help ordain a young man
from my congregation. He enters
the air corps chaplaincy. Seven
others will be ordained into chap-
laincies for the various services.
This ordination will take place in
the Central Lutheran Church, in
Minneapolis, with Dr. J. A. Aas-
gaard, president of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church, as ordinator.
(We get 106 new pastors in the
Church this year.)
“In the evening of next Sunday
I conduct the Baccalaureate ser-
vices at Brooten High School, about
20 miles N. E. of here. We live
about 150 miles from Minneapolis;
so it means we have to hustle a
little.
“It has been dry here. The grains
are doing reasonably well, and
corn planting is almost all done.
Had a shower on Wednesday morn-
ing. When Arlen Rohne was here
at Easter time, this country was
really flooded; so it goes from one
extreme to the other. Today it is
cool—58 degrees.
“Sincerely yours,
/s/ J. Magnus Rohne”
