ANNUAL HARVEST DAY
The Annual Harvest Day program
was observed Monday afternoon by
the Woman's Missionary Society of
the Methodist church in the church
parlors which were beautifully deco
rated for the occasion. Mrs. John
Houser was program chnirmnn and
under her direction a pageant “Fruits
of the Year," was presented. The
pageant story gave the reports of the
various officers, group chairman and
their work in a beautiful and inter
esting way.
In nil reports emphasis was laid
on the spiritual benefits derived from
the year’s service in Kingdom work.
The recording angel sat at the score
tary’s table with open hook, hearing
the reports and recording as she re¬
ceived the gifts of the afternoon.
The offering was a box to be sent
to the McIntyre Home for working
girls in Savannah and consisted of
many useful gifts. The financial re
ports for the year was very gratify
ing, more than $3,000.00 had been ap
preprinted by the society for all pur
poses.
The Annual Harvest Day expresses
the thoughts conveyed in the Thanks¬
giving and Christmas season, the one
being a time of praise to God for
services bestowed and the other to ex
press praise in service, the giving of
one’s self and substance, thus trans
lating lip praise into gift service. The
Harvest Day program is always made
very beautiful and impressive and is
well attended. A social hour followed
and refreshments, emphasizing the
Christmas season were enjoyed.
Counterfeit folks are seen on all
sides but they needn't think they can
put anything over except on a blind
man.

Beautiful Pageant at

The story of the birth of the

Vision,” portrayed in a realistic and
beautiful way the story of the birth

impressiveness. The decorations were

shed its light over the manger scene
