Time of the Prayer Meeting Service
Has Been Changed to Wednes
day Evening.
W —
Go to Sunday, School day was a
success with us. One hundred and
twenty seven persons were present,
and the offering was gratifying.
Special mention should be made of
the opening program rendered by
Mies Lizzie Ballard's class of Begin
ners. Little D. T. Pye's story of the
childhood of Moses told off hand was
very much enjoyed by everybody.
The opening exercises next Sunday
morning will be conducted by Mrs.
Robinson’s class.
The time of the prayer meeting
service has been changed from Tues
day evening to Wednesday evening.
A long time ago when the different
denominations occasionally attended
each others prayer meetings the
Baptists, Methodist and Preaby-'
terlans held these services .on Tues-(
day, Wednesday and Thursday even-‘
ings respectively.
The business meeting of the‘
Woman's Missionary Union was held
Monday afternoon at the Pastorium.‘
The meeting was well attended and!
new plans of study and work were
outlined. ‘
The girls Auxiliary recently organ
ized by Mrs. Ivey with an enrollment
of twelve between the ages of twelve
and fifteen met Friday evening at
the home of the pastor. We hope to
hear thore of this new band of work
ers in the future.
During the preaching service last
Sunday morning Rev. W. C. Ivey. re
lated many interesting facts of
Baptist history, He spoke of the
origin of Baptists in Apostolic days,
of their advent into the New World:
‘about 1639 and of their establishment
in the state of Georgia. The first
‘Baptist church in Georgia was organ
ized by Daniel Marshall in 1772. It
was named Kiokee, located in Colum
‘bia county near the town of Appling
and is still in existence. Rev. Asa
'ummn who died several years ago
was a descendant of Daniel Marshall,
\ The first association formed in our
lstgte was the Georgia organized
1784, and the Central Association to
which most of the churches in Jas
per, Newton, Putnam ‘and Jones
counties belong was organized in
1834. The eighty third session of the
Central Association will be he}d with
the Monticello Baptist church’ next
August.
Let us all consider the following
from the pen of Frances Ridley
Havergal entitled: “Why I Go To
Church on Rainy Sundays.”

week, and the criminal docket will be
disposed of the following week.
Hon. Doyle Campbell, the able
solicitor general, will leok after the

Before Boarding Train is the Request
of Central of Georgia Railroad
Officials.
A campaign has been started by
the Central of Georgia railway com
pany to influence the general public
to purchase tickets before boardlngl
trains. A large number of paasengers‘
are in the habit of boarding trains
without purchasing tickets thereby
entailing much more work on thei
partgof conductors consulting tariffs,
rate books, making change, etc.—!
which could be obviated if patrons
obtained tickets at the ticket offices.
The Central authorities make the
above request of the traveling public
80 as to enable conductors to give
more attention to the proper traln‘
handling and comfort to passengers. ‘
' Then, too, purchasing of tickets be
fore boarding trains means a savlng!
to passengers, because conductors are{
required to charge more for cash
fares, C ¥
Ve trust that our readers will bear
in mind the above request and co
operate with the Central railway’s of

182 In Attendance Upon “Georgia-Go
to.-Sunday School Day” on Last
Sunday Morning.
The Sunday School reached its
highest mark of attendance with 182
present. “Go To Sunday School
Day” was a success with us. The
committee on invitation did splendid
wark.
Our enrollment is steadily grow
ing; it now stands at 160. We want
to push it to 200 soon.
The banner was captured by the
men’'s class of Mr. J .8. Malone, Jr.
There were 25 present. The banner
was presented to them by Miss
Evelyn Flournoy. It was their first
time to win it but will not be the
last.
Several little fish were awarded to
our little fishermen who have been
at work.
There's been some misunderstand
ing about the conditions of gem*)g a
little fish. The original purpose was
“A fish for every new member
caught.” From now on we will give
a fish for every person brought to
Sunday School “either .as a visitor or
new member. Get busy and bring
some one and get a fish.
The Sunday School lesson for the
following Sunday is the subject of
the prayer meeting every week, to
gether with an inspiring song serv
ice. You are cordially invited to at
tend. '
The subjects of the sermons for
next Sunday will be: Morning, “How
We Got The Bible;” Evening,
“Samson and His Wives.”
We have 22 dear little babies on
the Cradle Roll of our Sunday- School
and prize them more than any other
part of our school. We take pleas
ure in giving our readers the follow

will take advantage of the opportuni
ty of clipping and preserving it in
her scrap book. Surely none’but a
mother could write thus:. g f
. A BABY'S SMILE.
(Dedicated to The Cradle Roll of the
Monticello Methodist Church.)
Dear little bundle of sweetness, ;
Precious gift from above,
You bring to me joy in completeness,
Surely the sender is love.
The Heavenly Father has sént you,
I know by the smile in your eyes,
Which seems to say He has lent you
To lead us to Paradise,
Many the joys of a mother,
God-given and free from all guile,
But I never will find any other
So dear as my little one's smile.
A ray of the Heavenly brightness
On that dear little face seems to
shine, ,
Its soul like the angel's in whiteness
Looks thru that sweet smile into
mine. \ e
When a baby smiles in its dreaming,
Angels whisper, they say, in its
ear; {
But its smile when awake is beaming
God's message to say He is near.

on Georgia. The fifth and sixth
grades gave us some interesting facts
on the geography and history of
Georgia. Mr. Fletcher read some in
teresting items on Georgia.
The primary grades are planning
to have appropriate exercises on
Washington’s birthday.
The sixth and seven grades had a
Valentine box Wednesday afternoon,
in the room of the sixth grade.
Mr. Fletcher asked the eighth grade
what was the derivation of “biscuit.”
The reply was: “Twice cooked.”
Then Mr. Fletcher asked Caroline
Furse the derivation of “binomial.”
“Twice cooked,” was the brilliant re
