BY ADDRESS OF REV. WISE
The February meeting of the

Friday afternoon, Feb. 20th, at the
clubhouse with Mrs. R. H. Burford.
Mrs. T. H. Nolen and Mrs. C. L.
Redman as hostesses .
The president, Mrs. W. E. Wat
kins, presided over the short busi
ness session. Mrs. Watkins also pre
sented Rev. E. M. Wise, pastor of
the Jackson Methodist church, who
gave a fine talk on different phases
of the war. Rev. Mr. Wise pre
pared his audience with a brief
preface. He said whenever a minis
ter was invited to address an or
ganization the members might look
for a sbrmon for in the last analysis
the result would be just that. He
believed that no one nation nor lead
er was responsible for the war, but
there were a lot of contributory
causes from every nation involved.
He emphasized the value and neces
sity of prayer, that we might have
I stored-up faith and courage arid
strength to be able to stand the ten
sion of the times and the shock of
bad news, of which a war is always
full. We must not faint in times
of adversity, if we do we know our
strength is small.
The club members expressed keen
disappointment that Rev. G. A.
Briggs was unable to give several
vocal selections on account of ill
ness.
The hostesses served delicious hot
chocolate and wafers.

After the hail the other day, Asa

cream the good old fashioned way. So
he fixed the milk and sugar and
flavoring in a pitcher, went out and
gathered up the big hailstones, and
came in ready for the ordeal. He
put the hail and the salt all around
the churn and turned the crank till
all the hail had melted. He peeped
into the churn to see how well the
cream was frozen, and there wasn’t
anything in the churn but the bot

putting the milk in before he began
to pack the ice and salt. A good
