FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1934
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Mildred Seydell, a noted writer,
says, “Of all the virtues, a sense of
GRATITUDE is the finest. For only
those who have great hearts are
ever grateful. I have never knowr
a grateful person who wasn’t upright
and honest. A sense of grateful
ness is an outward sign of innate re
finement. There is something stir
ring and wonderful about gratitude
expressed.. Perhaps Jbecaus.e grati
tude is a rare gem! It'has nothing
to do with narrowness nor selfishness
nor jealously—and where are those
/who are rid of all these three such
' human everyday qualities? As Sam
uel Johnson has said: “Gratitude is
a fruit of great cultivation; you do
not find it among gross people.”

W. C. T. U. MEETING
The January meeting of the Wom
an’s Christian Temperance Union
was held at the Methodist church
Friday of last week in regular ses
sion when Mrs. A. A. Howell and
committee presented a Peace pro
gram. One of the plans of work of
this department of the W. C. T. U.
is to have at least one meeting a
year as a means of education, keep
ng up wth the latest movements
toward peace, and as a stimulation
for a continued interest for peace.
Mrs. Monroe Gray gave a very ap
propriate Bible lesson, using select-'
ed verses bearing on peace as a ba
sis for her remarks.
The special attractive feature of
this program was the fine talk on
The World Court by Rev. R. P.
Etheridge, pastor of the Methodist
church, in which he briefly reviewed
the past history of The Court up to
the pi-esent. Although fifty four na
tions are represented in the the
court our nation is not a member
nation, despite the fact that several
of our presidents have advocated our
entrance, but some of our capable
strong men have attended this court
as delegates. He explained the points
of objectons whch has kept our na
tcn from endorsing and entering. His
informative talk was interestingly
given and well received.
The most important business of the
short session was the launching of
the membership drive, beginning in
January and closing with Mother’s
Day.

Following the luncheon a short
business session was held, presided

Lane.
For the program two papers were

ly pot plant. The guest of honor was
