Sunday School Social.
At the. home of Judge and Mrs.
Abney, on Monday evening, a most
enjoyable social complimenting Judge
and Mrs, White and Miss Ferrell
Lewis, was given by the Sunday
School of the Methodist church.
These much loved and efficient
workers are lehving Lampasas this
week, and while their places of office
may be filled, there will always re-
main for them a warm place in our
hearts.
A delightful program whs given as
follows:
Piano duet—Misses Gladys Ellis
and Josie Martin; vocal solo, Miss
Mary Stokes; piano solo, Miss Col-
bert; vocal solo, Little Miss Margar-
et Abney; Piano solo, Miss Jordan;
vocal solo, Miss Jennie Lamb; piano
solo, Mrs.' Carlton Abney; vocal solo,
Mrs. H. F. Lewis.
After the* program was over Bro.
Read, though “wholly unprepared”
as he himself said, was asked to make
a speech in which Judge White was
presented with a handsome chair. If
the guests dreaded the sadness of a
“g’ood bye” speech, they were relieved
that it was only a joyous, full-heart-
ed, “Cod-speed” and not a farewell.
There was a question in the speaker’s
mind as to the advisability of giving
Judge White a chair, but in the
thoroughly delightful and' character-
istic response, the Judge assured the
donors that it was entirely appropri-
ate as wrell as appreciated.
When Bro. Read presented a beau-
tiful cut glass water set to Mrs.
White, he echoed the sentiments of
of all, in the tribute to her worth and
popularity. In her gracious speech
of acceptance, Mrs. White smilingly
denied any claim to praise, but said
because of the need, of workers, she
had often wished she were a dozen
women. We wished so, too, and that
eleven of her might stay in Lam-
pasas.
The speaker paid a beautiful tri-
bute to the faithfulness of Miss Fer-
rell Lewis and as slight token of love
and esteem in which she is held by
everyone, presented her with a beau-
tiful cut glass toilet water bottle.
Although Miss Ferrel insisted that
she wa snot a speech maker, she re-
sponded in an easy graceful manner
that disproved the statement.
A purely informal time followed in
which all had a chance to make
speeches, test the sea-worthiness of
Judge White’s chair or whiff the fra-
grance of Miss Ferrell's perfume bot-
tle. Hot chocolate and cake were
served by the young girls.
This occasion will long be remem-
bered by those present and as each
guest departed expressed good
wishes and a speedy return for the
honorees. x
Christian Aid.
The Aid met Tuesday afternoon at
3 o'clock at the home of Mrs. J. C.
Ramsey. The. devotional exercises
and lesson study were led by Mrs.
Morgan. The lessons were taken from
the New Testament and the women
characters were Elizabeth and Sa-
lome. The lessons were interesting
to all who took part.
Reports were made by Mrs. Walker
of the sale of the bazaar. Something
above $200.00 reported above all ex-
penses which was very gratifying to
the members. About twenty ladies
were present to enjoy the meeting.
Mrs. Dr. Watson of Briggs, was a
err
very welcome guest.
There will be one more meeting
this year at which time the annual
report will be made and all members
are urged to be present. The meeting
will be in the home of Mrs. Morgan.
The lesson will be: “The Samaritan
woman and Mary Magdala. Mrs. A.
G. Walker will lead the lesson.
Mrs. Ramsey served refreshments
to her guests and all felt the meeting
to be a great help.

“Have It”
The song service held at the Meth-
odist church last Sunday night prov-
ed most enjoyable and uplifting, as
well as being an artistic, musical suc-
cess, and the large and appreciative
congregation was lavish in its praise.
For several weeks the choir under
the training of Mrs. McDqnald of
Temple had been practicing with this
service in view. Much time and trou-
ble had been given to the preparation
of this musical treat and the result
was very gratifying.
The full program was printed in
the Leader and every number was
given as printed. One feature of the
chorus work much spoken of was the
number of .young girls singing. Their
fresh young voices blended sweetly
with the more mature ones. The
sentiment breathed in the beautiful
anthem “The Silent Sea,” was a ser-
mon in itself. It is hoped that this
talented group of singers will be
generous and soon give us another
such treat, x
