Covington Church's WMS Programs
Held During Week Os Missions
The Womans Missionary So
ciety of the First Baptist
Church met Tuesday, Novem
ber 29, for the second program
of the Week of P^yer for For
eign Missions with the Sara
Thornley Circle in charge.
The program. “Seeing the
Multitudes Diseased”, was pre
sented by Mrs. Dorothy Bryant,
Mrs. Ward Mobley and Mary
Alice King. It was told that
we are living in a world of
illness and disease. For some
sickness, however there is a
sure and available remedy—
the blood of Jesus Christ which
cleanses from all sin. This is
the message we bear through
medical evangelism, "The Pre
cious Blood of Jesus Cleanses
White as Snow”.
The group read in unison the
scripture verses Psalm 86:15,
Matthew 9:36, Romans 13:8,
John 3:16 and Zechariah 7:9,
followed with Mrs. Frank Rid
ling, prayer chairman, leading
the group in prayer for the
m : -sionaries and their needs.
In the closing meditation
“Under the Christmas Tree”,
the gift of talents was placed.
While the Lottie Moon Christ
mas Offering was taken it was
pointed out the inheritance of
the Kingdom belongs to those
whose talents, great or small,
are dedicated to the service of 1
the King of Kings. 1

Sale Os Miniature Gracewood
Angels Here To Aid Hospital
Miniature “Gracewood An
gels” will be sold in Covington
Saturday by members of the
Gamma Tri-Hi-Y of Newton
County High School as a pro
ject of the Covington Service
Guild.
The Tri-Hi-Y girls are
presently making the minia
ture Christmas angels to aid
the Gracewood School in Au
gusta.
The following letter, written
to Santa Claus, explains the
Gracewood program:
Santa Claus,
The North Pole.
Dear Santa Claus.
This letter comes to you
from nearly 1.500 boys and
girls of all ages at Gracewood
School in Augusta. As you
know, - this is a school for the
mentally deficient children of
Georgia. It is operated by the
state, but of course no institu
tion can possibly provide all
our personal needs. Some of us
have parents, who take care of
most of these for us. But oth
ers have no one except you and
your helpers to wish us a
“Merry Christmas.”
Your helpers — members of
the Georgia Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs —are ready to
assist you again this year to
make the Christmas holidays
happier and brighter for us.
Mrs. George Doughtie of At
lanta, state mental health
chairman for the GFWC, and
Mrs. Harold Goodrich of Mil
ledgeville, co-chairman (she’s
state mental health chairman
for the Junior Conference) and
their committees are hard at
work boosting the sale of the
Gracewood Angels, which will
help provide some of the things
we need here at the school.
Dr. Pursley, superintendent
of Gracewood Training School
for Children, has already told
them of some of our needs.'
THE COVINGTON NEWS
They include television sets
and radios to be used in our
cottages, hymnals so v e can
sing together, and eight sets of
swings that we can enjoy when
the weather is pretty. We also
need an air conditioning unit
for the infirmary.
You see, Santa, there are
about 60 of us boys or girls in
each of the 16 cottages here at
Gracewood. Four more cot
tages are being built, and that
will mean that about 2,000
mentally retarded youngsters
can get the help they so badly
need by coming to Gracewood.
But there will still be a long
waiting list of other young
people who need to come here.
I’m sure you will be glad to
know that this year, as it did
last year, the GFWC is making
the sale of the Gracewood an
gels a statewide project. Club
women all over Georgia are
making the miniature angels—
useful in so many ways for
Christmas decorations —which
they will sell to help pay for
the gifts we hope you will be
able to find for us. The women
are making the angels of soft
blue construction paper, using
flesh-colored paper for faces
that are pasted on the finished
silhouette. Across the hem of
the gown is written “The
Gracewood Angel” to let every
one know that it is a symbol
of hope for all of us here at the
school.
The first sale of the Grace
wood Angels was in Marietta
several years ago, sparked by
the Marietta Woman’s Club.
The money raised then was
used to buy playground equip
ment. which we all still en- 1
joy. Since then, the organiza
tion has had the sales during
every Christmas season and
the children here at Gracewood
benefit from them all year
round!

I The official date of the sale

wish you all a Merry Christ
