WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
THE CHURCHES IN BLAKELY?
COMPARE THE FOLLOWING AND
MAKE YOUR OWN INFERENCE.
Mr. and Mrs. B. left last night for
New York, where they will spend
the summer, during which time they
will visit the principal cities of the
east ....
Mr. B. sent his check to the treas
urer for SSO, covering his annual
contribution for the support of his
church, accompanying the same with
a note saying “I am sorry it has to
be less than last year. Times are
hard this year, you know.
Mrs. A. will be hostess to her
Club next Wednesday afternoon.
There are thirty members enrolled in
this exclusive club. After an elab
orate luncheon, papers will be read
on the life of Shakespeare.
Mrs. A. pledged 25 cents to the
support of the weekly church budget.
“Sorry,” says She, “that it has to be
so small, but you know one has to
take care of their own needs before
others.”
According to her annual custom,
Mrs. C- gave a lawn party to the
members of the “Elite Card Club”
Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The lawn was beautifully illuminated,
covers were laid for 50 persons, and
luncheon was served at sunset. This
is one of the outstanding events of
this select club, to which they look
forward with much pleasure.
Mrs. C. says the church spends
too much money. This she does not
approve of. She shows her disap
proval by declining to make any
pledge to the support of the church.
Mr. D. left at noon today for Mi
ami, where his family is spending the
month of June and July. Mr. D. has
been going over for the week ends,
| but this week will remain some
1 time. He and his wife will be
guests at a house party next week.
Mr. D. owns two automobiles,
both of which are pleasure cars. He
gives S2O a year to the church. The
committee has a hard time to secure
a pledge for that amount.
Do not fail to hear the Pastor
next Sunday evening on the subject,
“The Trap That Mother Set for
Father.”
LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN—
The thief again broke into the Bap
tist church, this time stealing the en
tire choir, including the chorister.
“Some thief.”
We hope to see a large congrega
tion again Sunday. You will find a
hearty welcome and a glad hand at
these services. We shall expect to
see you.
