Presbyterian Meeting.
McDonough has had two good
meetings this summer with un
usually forceful preaching at both,
and now we Presbyterians are
prayerfully looking forward to our
own meeting, July 3-10. We feel
that we are exceeding fortunate
in securing the service of Dr. M.
McG. Shields, who for years
has been superintendant of Home
Missions and Evangelism in the
Synod of Georgia, and during
which time he has been conduct
ing meetings almost continuously
over the state of Georgia.
Dr. Shields will probably bring
his own singer with him, and with
the splendid musical talent we
have in our church and with the
co-operation of the musicians of
the other churches, we hope to
make the song service a special
and especially helpful feature of
the meeting.
Don’t forget the date. Don’t
forget to pray.

Shower for Miss Pye.
Miss Bessie Pye was given a de
lightful surprise on Tuesday after
noon. Invited to meet a few
friends at one table of rook she
was amazed on entering the home
of her hostess, Mrs. J. W. Kennedy,
to find the reception rooms throng
ed with guests from every part
of the city. She was further be
wildered when Mrs. L. Lamar, in
fitting words, expressed the love
and appreciation felt by the peo
ple of the city for Miss Pye’s un
selfish devotion to the children of
the primary grades of the school
and of her far-reaching influence
for good. Mrs. Lamar then called
for toasts to the prospective bride.
Tender sentiment and sparkling
wit were expressed in the re
sponses. Mrs. R. G. Dozier for
the friends, Miss Sarah English for
the teachers, Mrs. E. T. Jordan for
the mothers and Mrs. R. C. McCol
lum for the Margaret Tweedy
Bible class paid glowing tributes
to Miss Pye’s Christian service.
The president, Mrs J. D. Collier,
then presented in behalf of the
members a beautiful silk quilt
Mrs. R. R. Jones voiced the love,
of the hostesses, which was given
concrete form in a lovely string of
pearls presented by Mrs. J. R.
Webb. The prospective groom
waa not overlooked, and right
heartily a toast was given to the
absent “Bonny Bright Eyes.” Miss
Pye was so overcome she could
only stammer out words of ap
reciation, which were better ex
pressed in her radiantly happy
face. Packages fora miscellaneous
shower previously sent in by num
erous friends were piled high on
the large dining table and buffet
and cabinets. Miss Pye’s aston
ishment increased as she untied
each dainty package and realized
the generosity of her friends. She
failed in aoother effort to voice
her thanks and could only beam
her joy, which spoke louder than
words. Mrs. Kennedv, Mrs. La
mar and one or two others con
ceived the idea of paying this
compliment, but so many claimed
the privilege of sharing in the
preparations that the number
quickly increased to eighteen host
esses, who helped to brighten the
rooms with quantities of yellow
and white flowers, love’s offering
from their own gardens. The
same dainty color scheme was car
ried out in the refreshments of
cake and cream, which was a part
of the very enjoyable social hour.
No more beautiful tribute could
have been paid this faithful teach
er who richly deserves all that
life can give of happiness and
prosperity. —Dawson News.
