I I know the fish are biting for I saw Paul Strateburg come With a -string of bass he'd taken from this region of the Thumb, ' And off yonder in the distance i can see a boat or two, But a fellow’ can’t go a fishing with a lot of w’ork to do. I There’s a pine woods nearby singing now its softest melodies. And 1 catch the faintest humming of their music on the breeze; I could spend the day exploring na ture’s wonders ever new, i • But instead I’m at my table w’ith a lot of work to do. Should the- good Lord in the future ever look at me and ask That all important question; “Was 1 faithful to my task?’’ I shail answer, one glad summer in a place He’d built for play, I’d a lot of work before We, and J didn’t run away.

M S., UNION BAPTIST CHURCH, SAREPTA ASS’N The year has been one of progress for the \\J. M. S. of Union Baptist church under the leadership of Miss Clara Chandler, as president. Wc have worked with the determination to reach the. Standard of Excellence set by the Southern Baptist W. M. U., and now at the close of the Astfo ciational year, find that we have failed in only one of the tejx points— that, of meeting our apportionment in the 75-million campaign*-. At the beginning of this campaign we pledg ed $2,312.50 to the fund. About OS per cent of the whole amount half been paid—that is 85 per cent of tho, amount already due. To summarize the year’s work - briefly:— Meetings: Twelve regular session*, fur business, devotional am) mission ja.y program? have been held. Movt j these were brief, held at the j church after preaching services ok Second Saturdays;. Twice we mat at The home of our President for an al , to moon meeting, in order that more i time might be given for discussion. The special subjects for these rneet ; ings were, “Personal Service in it* various phases,” and “How can we interest more women of our church in the W. M. S.?” Delightful r*- I freshnients were served by the hosM ess. Fellowship in the work wav strengthened by these social hours.. The special seasons of prayer have Leon observed—usually by the indi viduals in each home uniting in pray er at a certain hour each day of tho week of prayer. Avery helpful pro gram on “prayer” was rendered a. tile all day meeting held with Mrs. A. B. (handler in January. Study Besides the brief reviews of programs in the Index, a reading course in the book, “The Call of the South,” has been completed. Membership—We still *hoild all the members wo had at the beginning of tho voar and have added three rev members. Personal Service —The activitie* along this line are too numerous to enumerate. However n few figure* will serve to show that while giving our prayers and money for forcigt missions, we have also been working at home: Visits to the sick 9$ Bibles distributed 48 Baptist Leaflets JOB 2 Garments to poor 77 Hours nursing . tjyfe A box of canned goods was sent to the Orphans Home; help was giv e 1 two g rls studying to be misaifb. ries in one of our Preparatory School Help has been given to families in distress, as in cases of fire. One new society was organized. We quote these activities, hoping ; that others may become interested, arid join us in the work of the Wo man’s Missionary Society!. At the last meeting of the year plans weie discussed for work for ;the coming year. Cards of invita tion will be sent to invite other wr>. | men wh(l are members of our church ;to our meetings. We hope that mi.v may espond and that our iu liber* may grow so that -we may try out ibe “circle plan” another year. Anjtl.et new feature will be a social once ev jery quarter.
