Executive Committee Hebron
B. W. M. U. Met In Royston
The second quarterly Executive
Committee meeting of the Woman’s
Missionary Union, Auxiliary to the
Hebron Baptist Association, was held
in the Royston Baptist church. The
meeting was opened with a touching
devotional led by Mrs. M. M. Rich
ardson, honorary Superintendent of
the Association.
Mrs. Amanda McMullan, the newly
elected Superintendent, presided over
the meeting. Many things of inter
est to the Association were discussed.
Among them were the W. M. U.
Specials. The W. M. U. Specials in
clude the W. M. U. Training School
at Louisville, the Bible Fund, _ the
Margaret Fund and last, but in no
wise least, the Mary P. Willingham
School. These four objects, to
which we have always contributed,
were not included in the 1925 pro
gram. Knowing the necessity of
these the Woman’s Missionary Union
is endeavoring to support them by
raising an adequate amount for them
over and above the 1925 program.
The committee unanimously voted
to stress White Cross work during
this quarter. Mrs. Fisher, our as.
sociational chairman, was to make
definite plans for this work, assisted
by Mrs. H. . Alford, divisional 1
Cross chairman. >
The Superintendent urged the
women to assist in raising a $500.00
fund for Dr. Ayers, a beloved medical
missionary to China. This money is
to be used by Dr. Ayers to buy sur
gical instruments for use in a new
hospital in China. The women agreed
to try to raise $150.00 of the neces
sary $500.00.
Two new district secretaries were
elected. Mrs. Jack Jones was elected
to fill Mrs. Guy Bell’s place, and Mrs.
Ed Burton was made district secre
tary for Bowersville, Canon and
Old Canon.
A lengthy discussion of our 1925
pledges took place. All Baptist wo
men are asked to sign pledge cards
for the year. Al! churches are urg
ed to send the total amount of the
women's pledges and the number of
women pledging to Mrs. J. H. Skel
ton, Hartwell, as Mrs. Skelton is cam
paign director for the B. W. M. U.
Many gratifying reports were
heard from district secretaries and
associational chairmen.
Mrs. Moss, of Royston, Miss Berta
Brown, of Hartwell, and Miss Del
Rey Adams, of Bowman, made in
teresting talks which added much to
the meeting.
At the close of the program the
women of the Royston church served
a delightful luncheon to the thirty
members of the committee present.
The next meeting of this commi
tee will be held at Sardis on the last I
Friday in June, by invitation of the '
women from Sardis church.
