an’s Bible Class was held Tues
day afternoon with the president,
Mrs. L. M. Carter, presiding. The
opening Ppumber was the song,
“God Will Take Care of You.”
Mrs. H. C. Holland gave the
beautiful devotional taking as her
subject,* “Mothers.”” She said she
.was glad that Mother’s Day came
in the spring-time when the flow
-1 ers are in bloom f{illing the afr
iwith their fragrance and joy
abounds. In the condition the en
tire world is now in to look into‘
the faces of Christian mothers is
a privilege and joy. '
Reading Exodus 2:1-10, Mx‘s.]
Holland told the story of Joche- |
bed, the mother of Moses. When{
Parach ordered all the Hebrew
baby boys to be put to deuth.l
Jochebed, looking at her boy saw
that he was a godly child and'
‘wanted to keep him. She hid him
for three months. When she could
no longer hide him she made 2
little basket and placed it in the
bulrushes on the river bank, with
the sister to watch him. Then a
great thing happened. The Prin
cess found™ the child. Another
great thing happened when she |
“hired” his own mother to carcl
for him.
Home is the first and greatest
training camp. What joy Joche
bed must have had in training
her child to be a christian. She
was indeed blessed and how many
were blessed later through her
son. Many mothers have lived
their lives and never been known {
far from their home communities
and yet through their children
have blessed people around the
world and live in the lives of
their children as guiding lights |
along the way of life. '
As Mother’s Day approaches ii‘l
Mother is living, tell her how
much she is loved and ,:ipprv(:in!,--}
ed. If gone on, be thankful for |
the privilege of having had her.;
For God’s greatest gift is Mother.
A period of silent prayer follow- |
ed for all the mothers of thc!
world. |
Mrs. G. E. OFarrell and Mrs.l
G. M. Craig very appropriately
sang “Mother Macrea,” accom-{
panied at the piano by Mrs. A:C.;
Fears. The class sang “Home |
Sweet Home” and “Faith of Our’
Fathers.”
At the close of the meeting ice |
