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. --I Thejj^noo’v practiced today will y the morrow.
