Church Social at
North Covington
On last Thursday evening the
people of North Covington were
invited most cordially to the reg¬
ular mid-week prayer service at
7:30 p. m.. The services were
in the hands of Mr. R. P. Lester,
and he invited Prof. Walton
Strozier of Oxford to lead the
services. At 7:15 the people be¬
gan to arrive and at 7:30 the
church was well filled. After
the opening song by the congre¬
gation, Miss Gladys Odum sang
a beautiful hymn entitled, “Sa¬
vior Breathe an Evening Bles¬
sing,” which was thoroughly en¬
joyed by every one. Mr. Stro¬
zier gave a splendid address, us¬
ing as his central thought, “The
World Grows Better Day by
Day.” His discourse was folow
ed by a beautiful song rendered
by Mrs. Henry Odum’s Sunday
School class, entitled, “Jesus
Bids us Shine.” When the
prayer service was closed, the
Woman’s Missionary Society
of the church invited .the con¬
gregation into the class rooms
where dainty refreshments
were served. The evening was
brightened by readings from Mr.
Rast, of Oxford, and Mr. Earl
Smith, of North Covington.
The entire occasion was most
enjoyable, and every one went
home feeling that ’twas good
to be there, and having a sense
of brotherhood in our midst,
which alone is developed by
the beautiful thought that we
are all “Children of the Heaven¬
ly King.”
MRS. WM. C. CLARK.
Says Kissing Scenes Will
Mislead Children.
Editor News:
I have lived in Covington
twenty years, in Newton county
all my life, it is the finest coun¬
ty, the neblest small city in
Georgia and I am not the only
person* which loves every foot
of Newton and every inch of
Covington.
At our last Woman’s Club
meeting we had a Christian lady
with us who spoke on Child Wel¬
fare; she impressed the need of
mothers telling their children
the sacredness of their bodies,
that they are in the likeness of
their masters, they are precious,
so pure, they are to be kept sa¬
cred to themselves alone be¬
cause they are the homes of the
immortal soul.
When we mothers of Coving¬
ton dress with care, the ones
that are most precious to us on
earth—our children, and send
them skipping on their happy
way to school; all about them
our beautiful large trees, our
loved streets made clean and
safe by their fathers, and as if
by magic, an objectionable pic¬
ture, a womans body or a kiss¬
ing scene, scenes that will arouse
low impulses, scenes that will
shadow every sacred lesson,
that will make the weak forget
that the body is the home of the
soul, is seen by the way-side.
If a great wild beast were to
be loose on our streets every
man and woman in our fair city
would run personal risk to save
the children from harm, yet we
will go on blind to things that
kill souls that wreck homes,
that the things that send our
boys and girls to hell.
No one loves a good picture
better than I, yet you never
know when the picture nor the
comedy can be relied on, there
are only two ways—If it isn’t
good. it‘s bad. Life is too short J
to be squandered. Souls are
precious to be lost. S
Money is valuless compared !
to God S jewels. !
