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.
