A large number of young people
and several visitors were present at
the Mother’s Day service on Sunday
morning. The decorations were ap
propriate to the occasion, red and
white roses and syringea being used.
A quartet composed of Messrs.
Charles Carr, Horace Boyd, How
ard Perdue and Rev. G. A. Briggs,
sang “God Bless Our Mothers.” A
duet, “Love’s Debt to Mothers,”
was sung by Mrs. J. C. Newton and
Mr. Charles Carr. “The Sweetest
Story Ever Told” was sung by the
choir.
A survey of the congregation
showed that mothers are still stand
ing by the cross of Christ. The sub
ject of the pastor’s sermon was the
many lessons that may be learned
from a study of Mary, the mother
of Jesus.
On account of the protracted
meetings at the Methodist church
there will be no services on next
Sunday night.
Cotton is used in more than a
thousand ways and at least 1,500,-
000 people in the United States are
