First Baptist Church Circle

On March 21 the Mary Mal
lard Circle of the First Baptist
Church assembled in the solar
ium of Newton County Hospital
honoring Miss Pearl Burney, a
patient in Newton County Hos
pital, who is affectionately known
to all the members as “Aunt
Pearl.’’ Mrs. Belmont Dennis

Three problems of community
need were taken up. Mrs. Brown
Nevels of the Department of Fam
ily and Children Services
presented two of these. She
brought some pertinent informa
tion relating to a school lunch
project previously discussed by
the Circle. She also presented
to the Circle’s attention the ur
gent need in Newton County for

Before Mrs. Dodd brought the
program on “Preparation for
Mission Action,” Mrs. Mallard
led in prayer. Mrs. Dodd’s
opening reminded us of Christ’s
command, “Go ye and witness,”
thus identifying oneself with an
other’s needs. Hence Mission
Action means identification and
involvement by the Christian who
seeks to spread the gospel. Sev
eral situations were used as il
lustrations of Mission Action in
action. Mrs. Dodd closed the
meeting with prayer.
