The UaCrange District Meeting. The annual district meeting of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society was held in Newnan, Sep tember 14-17. A pleasing social feature of the meeting was the re ception tendered delegates and visitors at the home of Mrs. Mollie Cotter Lovejoy. It was a beauti ful expression of Newnan hospi tality,in giving welcome and sweet communion to friends new and old, thus strengthening the ties that bind them in Christian love. Fri- . «lay morning the first business ses sion was held in the church, Miss Head, District Secretary,.presid ing. We rejoice that the mantle of our much loved and honored Secretary, Mi’s. Florrie Cook White, who served us faithfully and prayerfully tor three years has fallen upon such worthy shoulders, and we pray that Di vine guidance and strength may be given her, for truly “she open- eth her mouth with wisdom.” There was an unusual number of delegates present, but not such .a» attendance as should have re warded the untiring and interest ed efforts of the secretary, and as the important interests of the Dis trict demanded. Among the ques tions that came up for open dis cussion was that of Bible study. It was full of interest and profit as in earnest words the great power and truths to be gained by prayerful study of God’s word were pressed home to the hearts of those pres ent. If we pray “Thy kingdom come” with intelligent sympathy, ’we must have knowledge of what the petition implies. In all the papers and talks pre- • dented the various departments of the work there was given as the best equipment for success in each the spiritual power which comes from much waiting on God in prayer, for truly “more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” A letter of love and intense in terest was received from Mrs. W. JM. Allen, 3rd vice-president, also one from Mrs. Higginlwtham, who was detaiued at home by illness. • It breathed a spirit of sweet sub mission to God’s will and a sur render of her own cherished de sire to be present. The great help afforded by the reading course was stressed with the l>est plans as to The Colden Mean. The press dispatches told the other day the remarkable story of a school teacher who had been able to accumulate half a million dollars in 50 years, from a salary ranging from #1,500 to #3,000 a year. Professor Alpheus DuBois —that was the saver’s name—was not connected with any of the great life insurance companies at that. The average mind can scarcely see how it is possible to save so much. Three thousand dollars a year, for 50 years, aggregates #150,000, which is #350,000 less than a half million of dollars. The mathematical possibility of the feat, however, is easily proved by a reference to the compound in terest tables. It is the psycholo gical phase of the accomplishment which is calculated to astonish the average man—the grim determina tion of the young man on less than #2,000 a year to die rich, and the wonder that after he had accumu lated a hundred thousand he still kept on at his comparatively small salary, preferring the safe and Hteady gains to the excitement of taking chances. It seems that Professor DuBois denied himself most of the pleas ures of life for 50 years in order to accumulate the half million which othei’H will now spend. He even denied himself human companion ship, in so far as he was able, in order that he might not be tempted into giddy prodigality. He did not care for any friends,he wanted dollars. The attitude of the man souls in darkened lands; and may He help us to meet our obligations, knowing “He is able to do exceed ing more abundantly alwve all we can ask or think.” The watch word for the coming year must l>e an auxiliary in every Church,” and to this effect several of the delegates volunteered to aid their pastor in organizing societies near est their church. The needs and claims of the Scarritt Bible and Training School were stressed and pledges given for the same; also it was recom mended that a “Training School Day” be observed ami a collection be taken in Imhalf of the institu tion. The Juvenile work and Golden Links claimed special attention and we were urged to take more tender care of the lambs of the fold, for our recruits come largely from these organizations. The work of Miss Laura Peddy of New nan, and Mrs. Dillard in these so cieties was especially commended. We were favored in having with us Miss Mary Wikle, Conference Corresponding Secretary. Her ad dress was instructive and enter taining. She spoke of the early history of our organization, of the brave women who gave their time, their prayers, and their jewels for the advancement of the work that was-so near their hearts; of its broadening and strengthening in fluence until doubtless many will come from the “East and West, from the North and South and praise God continually for their salvation through Christ, who would not have known the glorious! wbo Likes big chances tor big gospel but for the prayers and! st »kes, who plays the game of services of the W.F.M.

A pretty wedding was solemn ized at the home of the bride’s father, Mr. W. M. Bagwell, at McCollum on Thursday afternoon, the 12th, the bride being Miss Mollie J. Bagwell and the groom Mr. W. M. Phillips. The home was made bright and sweet with (lowers, the color scheme being green and white. Here and there about the house pots of graceful ferns added beauty to the happy scene. The bridesmaids wore green cloth over white and entered in the following order: Miss Willie Bagwell, sLster of the bride, with Mr. W. P. West, Miss Janie Mae Phillips with Mr. T. A. Ellis. The bride never looked sweeter than in her bridal gown of white—a beau tifully embroidered chiffon dress, hand tucked. Little Miss Ethel Phillips was the dainty flower girl. The ceremony was performed by ltev. G. W. Barrett, of Palmetto. The bride by her many sweet, womanly qualities of mind and heart, has endeared herself to a host of friends. Mr. Phillips is a successful farmer here and possesses many excellent traits of character.

T. 11. was held last Monday in the Library Assembly Room, with only a few members present. The meeting was called to order by President Mrs. E. O. Reese, who read the 13th chapter of 1 Cor. and but commented on same. There was some business to lie transacted; the appointing of su perintendents for the different de partments of work. There were several new names to be enrolled —Messrs. T. L. Camp, A.B.Jones, ,1. H. Reynolds and Dr. J. L. Barge, honorary members; Mrs. J. L. Barge, Mrs. P. H. Drake and Mis. W. Y. Bcroggin, pledged members. We are hoping to get several more members at our next meeting, which will be the third Monday in November. At the roll-call each member present responded with a verse br most all, church members; but instead of belonging to our tem perance band and doing all they can to prohibit whiskey from com ing into our towns (for we had almost as well claim to lie Chris tians and not belong to any church, as to claim to lie temperance folks and not lielong to the band), lint instead they will allow the young folks to have card parties and oth er social games, where very often wine and other drinks are used. These things ought ndt to be, be cause the Lord says the “Iniquities of the fathers will be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” So we should be very careful and abstain from every appearance of evil. No boy is entirely safe in at6wn where whiskey is allowed to come, no matter how good a boy he may be, unless he has a consecrated father or mother or both, to inter cede for him at God’s throne of grace. Our humble prayer is that every woman in Newnan who is not a member of our W.C. T. U. will come to our next meeting if they possibly can, and see what we are trying to do, and when they see the efforts we aro making to get rid of the drink curse, perhaps they will cast their lots with us and form a strong band against this great enemy of souls; ami fight in the name of the Lord and He will uphold us by His power.
