Is Used for

of spiritual understanding.

the year was played by Mrs. J.
T. Shaw and introduced the pro
gram.
A dramatization of a missionary
was given by Mrs. Purvis, her
subject being “A New Year and
New Responsibilities.” She en
deavored to bring into focus the
significance of the year book for
members of the W. S. C. S.

presided at the business session,
with routine reports being given
by chairmen.
