The G
Kirkwood Methodist Church
in Atlanta, was the Homecom

Plans for the Building Pro
gram, which include construc
tion of a Sunday School Annex
with six class rooms, kitchen
and dining rooms, rest rooms
and nursery; and possibly re
novation of the church’s vesti
bule and steeple, were outlined
by Alton Jolley, Building Fund
Chairman.
The Rev. Carl Standard pas

present, and expressed appre
ciation of altar arrangements,
which included a white urn ar
rangement of mammoth white
chrysanthemums in memory of

and Mrs. R. L. Hicks. He also
presented the guest speaker.
Rev. Ogletree, whose forebears
were loyal members of Pros
pect.
The text of Rev. Ogletree’s
sermon was, “Invitation to the
Greatest Homecoming Ever
Held”, for which he used pass
ages from Matt. 22:1-12. He
drew a graphic parallel between
the nostalgic ties of our earthly
home and spiritual ties which
draw us toward Eternity.
“Christ, who died on the cross
that we might have the privi
lege of coming to the Father’s
House, constantly holds out the
invitation to the Greatest
Homecoming — that of Salva
tion and the Eternal Home”, he
stated.
A bountiful basket lunch was
served on picnic tables beneath
the ancient oaks of the
churchyard, at the noon hour.
A delightful season of fellow
ship and reminiscing followed.
In the afternoon service, fa
vorite hymns were sung, under
the direction of Choir Director
Jesse Taylor, and Harmon Hicks
of Clearwater, Fla. brought
special vocal selections.
Former members and guests
receiving special recognition in
cluded Earle Ogletree of Perry,
former member, and father of
the Homecoming speaker; Mrs.
Wardie Ogletree of Conyers,
who with her late husband was
a loyal member for many years;
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hicks of
Tennessee; and others.
Rev. Howard Sims, who at
tended Prospect as a child, with
his family, is a ministerial son
of Prospect, and is now serving
as nn-mr of Hardwick Metho
dist Church.
Among progressive steps
marking the past year’s
achievements of this rural
Lighthouse of Faith, is the or

Library Begins
Memorial Shelf
A collection of books known
as “Living Memorials” is be
ing started at the Newton
County Library which should
be of interest to a large num
ber of people. The nucleus of
this collection is two books
“Codfish, Cats, and Civiliza
tion” by Gary Webster, and
"Homespun America” edited by
Wallace Brockway and Bart
Kieth Winer.
Mrs. Charles E. Hawkins pre
sented “Codfish. Cats, and Ci
vilization” in honor of her hus
band, the late C. E. Hawkins,
former teacher and principal in
the Covington schools. Thia
selection is unique in the fact
that Gary Webster, the author,
is in reality a former Coving
ton resident, Webb Black Gar
rison.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Swann
presented “Homespun America”
in memory of their father the
late Dr. W. K. Swann. This is
a collection of writings designed
to capture the essential qual
ity of the free United States.
Charles Townsend Copeland
said, “For the common man, the
best memorial is some benefi
cient thing or function that
shall bear his name.” Books
fulfill this requirement pre
cisely. Gifts of books to our
libraries are living memorials,
beneficial to the living as well
as an honor to one who loved
living. A lifetime of new friends
and new ideas are in the books
which comemorate a person,
whether their readers knew the
person or not. Important events
and worthy causes can be simi
larly recognized —by a gift of
good books.
Book memorials are lasting
and continue to live to enrich
the life of a community. Citi-

reason or another be accepted.

ported, “are a fair start to
ward realizing our quota of
550 pints for 1960-61.” Addi
