COVINGTON, GEORGIA
COVINGTON, GA., FRIDAY APRIL 9, 1909.
“We are met together to learn
more of the greatest of all church
causes, the one thing that next to
our own faith in Clnist and our
own home ties should be the dear¬
est iu the world to women ; since
only women in Christian lands
havo a place in society, or even
the home that is very much raised
above the savage, therefore every
Christian woman, (and every wo¬
man should be a Christian,) other¬
wise she is appropriating benefit,
she really has no right to, should
be an earnest Missionary iu spirit.
“If we, as visitors, graciously
entertained as God’s servants, may
he counted worthy to leave behind
nothing but mutual love, and by
reviewing the work done in the
past year, and looking forward to
the great work yet to be done, may r
gain purpose and strength f jr lar¬
ger and better work in the ensuing
year. Above all if our hearts be
filled with a great and burning
longing for others to have the same
glorious love in their hearts that
brightens our own lives, then our
Mission at this meeting will have
been acceptably fulfilled.
“In conclusion, I desire to re¬
turn thanks to the ladies of Cov¬
ington in behelf of the Union.
Routine business was then ta¬
ken up which completed the morn,
ing session.
The afternoon session was open¬
ed by Mrs. S. A. Tones, of Kirk¬
wood. This was followed by the
reports of the societies which were
all interesting and instructive.
Among the reports waB a unique
plan adopted by one of the socie¬
ties for raising funds during the
year. This plan was one of self
denial in which each member had
agreed to set aside fifty-three cents
on the first Monday, and on each
succeeding Monday to reduce this
sum by one cent until on the last,
or fift y. third Monday the sum set
aside by eacb wou j d be QD , y one
cent. Through this method the
society would raise more than one
thousand dollars for their mission
work.
“The Call of the Hour,” a pa¬
per by Mrs. W. M. Everett, of
Atlanta, was most beautiful. The
subject was handled from a For¬
eign Missionary standpoint and
created a more earnest zedl tor this
work.
l * The New Methods for 1909
Conference > » was conducted by
Mrs. A„ J. McKelwav, of Deca¬
tur. and the talk given by Miss
Edith Thompson, whocavne direct
from the Associated Charities of
Atlanta, threw new light upon
missionary wurk from the point of
personal service. The Presbyte¬
rian Hospital, its needs aud the
beautiful work it is doing was ex
plained in a most forceful manner
by Mrs. Archibald Davis, of At¬
lanta. After the adjournment of
the afternoon -session a beautiful
reception was tendered the dele¬
gates aud their hostesses by Mrs.
John R. Stephenson which proved
quite the largest and most delight¬
ful affair since mid-winter.
Mrs. Stephenson’s home alway 3
pretty, was especially attractive
with its handsome palms, ferns
and other foliage plants, combined
with bright cut flowers, the frag¬
rance of which penetrated the en¬
tire lower floor.
i
Mrs. Stephenson was assisted in
receiving by Mrs. J. J. Corley,
Mrs. James F. Rogers, Mrs. R. C.
Guinn and Miss Lottie Hendrick.
Delicious refreshments consist
, ing of strawberry cream and Au
| gel P'ood cake were served by
Misses Jule Trippe, Eva and Lil
ilian Stephenson, Ida Higgins,
( . Macy I^oyd, Janie Johnson and
Janette Holland.
More than one hundred ladies
called during the afternoon.
The evening service was a most
beautiful one. Mrs. George T.
Smith sang sweetly the “Holy
City.”
This was followed by an address
by Rev. Faddoul Moghabghab, of
colored preacher defines: Firstly,
( i Take hold.” Secondly, “Hold
on.” Thirdly and lastly, “Neb
bat leave go,” will accomplish
wonders, nay miracles. It is our
duty—yes, privilege as Christians
to strive to turn men from sin into
righteousness and the little we do
here will bear fruitage for the
skies, for oft the small thing is la¬
ther of the greatest.
t i Not success alone, but earnest
endeavor, is the test of all our ef¬
forts and it is well to remember
that “attempted things are count¬
ed and crowned by the King of
Kings.”
“We stand today mid the har¬
vest uf the yesterday’s, grasping
the seed corn of the tomorrow’s,
what, will the harvest be ?
“Giving the hand of fellowship,
acknowledging the bond of sym¬
pathy, let us walk together as
friends for a brief space May
wisdom guard us well, and discre¬
tion guard all asking, and aid all
answers.
“Now when the heart is full—
when teeming t ’.oughts come
crowding thickly up for utterance,
and the poor common words of
eouitesy seem such an empty
mockery; words fail and we can
only say: “Welcome, thrice wel¬
come to our hearts and homes.”
Mrs. G. S. Clark, of Atlanta,
responded gracefully to the wel¬
come as follows:
“Mrs. President and Ladies
The Union :-In response to
of welcome, whose gracious
warmth thrills our hearts,
causes us to feel that we are no:

St Lebanon, Syria, who was
dressed in the shepherd’s costume
of our Saviour’s time. His ad¬
dress included a presentation of
the Twenty-third Psalm as no one
had ever heard it before. His
beautiful interpretation of this
passage of scripture completely j
enraptured his audience.
Among the interesting features
> t the Thursday morning session
.asa paper “Children’s Gifts to
Mission” by Miss Mary Burru3, of
Atlanta. “The Mission Study
Class,” conducted by Mrs. R. D.
Crusoe, of Atlanta, proved both
interesting and helpful. Miss
Mattie Tate, a returned Mission¬
ary from Korea, addressed the
ladies, which was one of the espec¬
ially strong features of session.
To emphasize the importance of
her subject she presented a little
girl dressed in the native Korean
costume.
The closing session Thursday
afternoon was full of deep interest
and included a number of bright
talks that gave particular empha¬
sis to the entire session of the Un¬
ion. Among those speaking were
Rev. Homer McMillian.of Atlanta
Miss Eva Neal, of Atlanta.
The next annual session will be
held in Lawrenceville, April 1910.
INSTITUTE WAS
VERY INTERESTING
The Sunday School Institute at
County Line church last Saturday
proved to be a most interesting
and profitable event in the
Sunday school work in that sec
tion.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the busy season was upon the peo
pie in earnest, the attendance upon
the meeti' g was' large and Presi¬
dent Ogletree carried out the well
arranged program in an interest¬
ing manner.
The Mission of the Holy Spirit
iu Sunday School Work was the
topic for the meeting and interest
ing talks were made during the
day by Revs. T. H. McDill and E
R. Pendleton and Messrs. J. W.
King, Eugene Hull, E.T. Hull, J
G. Martin, C. W. Peeples and C.
R. Hawk, while recitations were
rendered in a splendid manner by
Master Ralph Thompson and little
Miss Julia Cowan.
County Liuei church made appli¬
cation for mesnbersbip in the In¬
stitute and was admitted. The
next meeting will be held in Oc
tober with Salem church.
Dinner was served on the ground
by the County Line people and it
was a splendid feast, as only those
excellent p°ople can prepare and
serve to their friends and the In
statute passed a resolution of
thanks for the splendid entertain
; ment of the day.
Quite a number of Covington
people attended the session and
were greatly pleased with the trip
and feel that they will' never runs
an opportunity of visiting that
section.
Bridge Club.
The beautiful old Col Miial home
of Mrs. LJ Simms, on Floyd-at ,
was the scene of an enjoyable af¬
fair last Friday afternoon, when
her two charming daughters
Misses Sara and Bonner, entertain
td the members of the Young La¬
dies’ Social Club, and a few inti¬
mate friends among the young
married set.
Alter a very pleasant game of
bridge, delicious refreshments
were served.
Mr. L. W. Harris, of Newnan,
spent several days last week in the
city the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W.
M. Flemister. While here Mr.
Harris was pleased to see his dis¬
charge from the army in Colonel
L. L. Middlebrook’s dairy. He
was warmly greeted by his many
friends while here.

Membership in that Great Order.
It is believed that C. A. Har¬
well, of this city, holds the record
as a Masonic member.
Mr. Harwell this week celebrates
an unusual event, it being his
proud privilege to say that for
twenty years this week he has
missed only four Masonic meet¬
ings during the whole time, be¬
sides this he has attended many
extra meetings with oth j r lodges,
which far more than make up for
the four meetings he has missed.

Mr. James O’Byrne, 62(3 Madison St.,
Topeka, Kas., conductor Sante Fe Rail¬
way and member Order of Railway Con¬

“I suffered with a torpid liver and
stomach trouble, which made my com¬
plexion very sallow, and I felt misera¬
ble and tired all the time.
“An aunt wrote me that she was tak¬
ing Peruna with such good results that
she advised me to try it, and I finally
bought a bottle, although I disliked to
take patent medicines.
“ However, 1 found Peruna very agree¬
able to take, aud effective, as 1 felt bet¬
ter in a week. I took only five bottles
in all and T found that was all I needed.

your medicine has done for me.”

p El?UNA rarely fails to restore the
appetite. Immediately upon begin¬
ning the use of Peruna patients begin
to eat and digest. This is the universal
testimony, coming from all parts of the
civilized world.
Catarrh is a very frequent cause of
loss of appetite and disturbed digestion.
The beneficial influence of Peruna on
catarrh completely restores the appe¬
tite in such cases.
To prod the digestive organs with
medicines that are merely stimulants is
a poor way to remedy such cases.
