MEETING OF THE
ELTEKAN CLASS
On Tuesday, November 18th, 1924,
the Eltekan Class met with Mrs.
Fitzgerald, Mrs. C. D. Duke, Mrs.
John Strickland and Mrs. Emmett
Freeman, hostesses. In the absence
of Mrs. Moye, the Bible lesson was
read by Mrs. Tabb, president, fol
lowed in prayer by Mrs. Blitch. Miss
Mattie Butler was the teacher for
the day’s lesson, which was the Chap
ter on “Teaching Points,” commend
ing to the Sunday School teacher the
aid of a wMole hive of “B’s”
Be natural
Be friendly
Be cheerful
Be cordial
Be tender
Be patient
Be serious
if you would secure and hold the
interest of your Class, and thus be
able to press home the “saving
truth” of the lesson, that edifies and
makes for character.
Mrs. Singletary having accepted
the duties of teacher of a class in
the Sunday school, sent in her resig
nation as Vice President of the El
tekan Class, Mrs. Felix Davis being
elected to succeed her. Mrs. Tabb,
president, asked to be relieved of he*-
duties until January, when she will
he at liberty to take up her work
again. Mrs. Ida L. Stone laid her
birthday offering of 25c on the treas
urer's book, and those who gasped
with astonishment, having thought
her much, much older than 23, will
now be relieved to know that bearing
in mind the salutary lesson of
Saphira, who withheld a part that
was due, the full quota of her age
was turned over to the Treasurer,
and entered on the record. Collec
tion of dues was then made, followed
by a fine report from the Treasurer.
An appreciative note was read from
Miss Talley for flowers sent her
while in hospital recently. Report
of the Relief Committee, Mrs. John
Strickland and Mrs. Carl Hobbs,
aroused recollectoin of Infant Class
Days, when we used to sing about
giving hands and feet to Jesus,
“that they might not be idle, but
-busy all the day,” and the report
Indicated daily watchfulness for
service. The following Relief Com

If you have a little fairy in your
home, or a big one for that matter,
that’s just the place where a sub
scription to The Youth’s Companion
will fit in. When the young folks
bring new acquaintances to the
house you are mighty careful to find
out about them before admitting
them to intimacy. In the same way
you should make sure whether the
mental friends that they make
through reading are of a kind to in
spire them or to destroy all the
ideals you have been at so much
pains to implant. Try The Youth’s
Companion for a year. See how
quickly it becomes an indispensable
member of the household, one of un
failing charm and constant inspira
tion.
