The Bible Study Class of
The Methodist Church,
“For the word of God is quick, and
powerful and sharper than any two
edged sword, pierding even to the di¬
viding asunder of soul and spirit, and
of the joints and marrow, and is a dis
cerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart.”—Hebrew 4:12.
Realizing the importance of a sys¬
tematic study of God’s Word the ladies
of the Methodist church under the able
leadership of Mrs. R. R. Fowler haw
had a most interesting and inspiring
course in Genesis. The text-book;
“Studies in the Book of Genesis,” is ar¬
ranged by Miss Grace Saxe, who is
loved by- all who have had the privilege
of being in her Bible class in the Billy
Sunday campaigns.
As the ladie^ have pursued their
study, the Bible has become a new
book. ' That the interest has been sus¬
tained throughout these months is
manifested by the splendid attendance,
the average being about seventeen.
Every Monday these ladies lay- aside
household duties, go to the hospitable
home of Airs. Fowler and spend one «
the best, most profitable hours of the
week.
There fire only two more lessons in
the course in Genesis. Without any
delay the study in Exodus arranged
by the same person and directed by the
same leader will be begun. - Of course
the ladies who have been in the class
will continue and they are desirous
that all enjoy the privilege that only
a few have taken advantage of. There¬
fore, ladies, if you are not enjoying a
systematic study of the Bible, come
and join this class. Judging^ from the
experience of others you "too will find
that the Scriptures will unfold. The
Bible will no longer be a dull book read
through a sense of duty, hut studied
and enjoyed because through the il¬
lumination of the Spirit it has become
of all books the most interesting.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hearn spent Sun¬
day with their parents, Air. and Mrs.

C. T. t . Meets With

- ^ • was helcl at the ^ ome of Mr3 -

heart, could do, was accomplish¬
by the hostesses of the day.

to North Covington, our hearts are
for the women of North Coving
torl are splendid workers along ill
lines, in home, church and social life.
Mrs. Lester’s home is an idea) home
and the memories of the golden hours
spent in her beautiful spacious par¬
lors will be remembered. Airs. Gary
the efficient and excellent president, pre¬
side with grace and dignity. Mrs.
Carroll of Oxford led the devotional.
She selected the scripture lesson from
the writings of Paul and gave an in¬
teresting interpretation of the subject,
Self Denial. Rev. Air. Carroll was the
speaker selected to handle the question
assigned for the January meeting. The
subject was, The Work of the Church
and the W. C. T. U. Among the Ne¬
groes of the South. This department of
work is a part of the national program
as given to every Union by those in au¬
thority. Mr. Carroll had evidently
spent much time and study on the sub¬
ject and very forcibly expressed his
ideas from the angle of his own view¬
point.
The songs, “Some Glad Day” and
“Stand for Our Cause” was sweetly
sung by little Alisses Sara Ethel Nor¬
