Minutes of Home Mission Society.
Read at Regular Monthly Meeting,
January, 1901, and Published
by Request.
We are glad to note that at our
December meeting our number had
not diminished and we can report
twelve present, with officers all in
their places. And with Sister Nettie
Paul at the piano to touch heart and
ear and lip with the sweet melodies
of song, we sang the same sweat
song, by request of Sister Rogers,
that we sang at our November meet
ing, “Let Jesus Come Into Your
Heart.” And, dear sister’s, as we go
out into the world
“So let onr lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine
To prove the doctrine all divine.”
Our lesson for the evening was (as
one has beautifully expressed it) “the
love chapter.” And is there one
among our little band whose Bible
will not readily open at this 14th
chapter of John? And as we sit at
the feet of Jesus in times of sorrow
or trouble, we read with tear-dim
med eyes, “Let not your hearts be
troubled; ye believe in God, believe
also in me. In my Father’s house
are many mansions.”
As laid down in the program, the
chapter was divided into sections
and read by five ladies. And as
manna to the hungry soul, we fed
en the precious words of our Lord,
who said, “I will not leave you com
fortless; I will come unto you.”
The leaflet for the evening was
“The Mystical Tenth,” and was read
by Mrs. L. M. Paul in a clear and
distinct manner, so that all who
would could take heed. The leaflet
said that “In this the age of coming
back to Christ does it not seem emi
nently appropriate that in the revi
val of many old traditions the one
of the mystical tenth should receive
almost the universal attention of onr
churches?” And again, “Women
may not control funds but they can
make sentiment, and woman should
use her persuasive influence to bring
man back to right money relations
with God, to restore that Eden she
persuaded him to take away.” But
I dare say the men of our 19th cen
tury are hardly as easily persuaded
by their Eves as Adam was, or our
treasury would be so full that we
would hardly know where to bestow
our goods. However, our treasurer,
Sister Hook, never reports an empty
treasury, for “the mothers in Israel”
still come up to the help of the
Lord, to the help of the Lord
against the mighty.” And the old
maids and widows, Dorcas like, still
make garments for the poor, as is
proved by her report.
Dues for the Frank Hook Young
People’s and the Adult Home Mis
sion Society for the year $30; spe
cial $45.50; twentieth century offer
ings $50; collected for parsonage
$100; number of garments distrib
uted 225. The South Macon District
has given $150 for the twentieth
century offering, which will be do
nated to the room of our school at
Key West in honor of Miss Frank
Hook, whose picture will also adorn
its walls, in memory of the sweet
young spirit that took its flight from
eorth to heaven eight years ago, and
we are glad to bring our offerings
with our sister, who knows that
“Love’s strength standetli in love’s sac-
And she who suffers most hath most to
give.”
Respectfully,
Secretary.

It rained the cross out and wash
ed the spot out Sunday, but the
clouds have dispersed and all is se
rene to-day. x.
Farm work has been moving, on
nicely until to-day,on account of the
heavy rain Sunday. Hauling guano
seems to be the order for the pres
ent, and from its fragrance I reckon
it means more cotton.
I had occasion to visit Haynevilte
last Friday evening, and it was my
pleasure to spend the night at the
home of Mr. G. T. Brown, who is
one of the most progressive farmers
of that section, where I was cordial
ly entertained. The most pleasing
features of all are that he has an
abundance of home-raised supplies,
a cozy little home, several pretty
children and a most estimable lady
for a companion.
Saturday being regular Justice
court day of that district, I met
Judge B. J. Harrison, who advised
me to hold to my honor and decide
all cases in favor of costs.
After court adjourned I was invi
ted to a bird dinner at the. home of
Mr. J. S. Haley, which was nicely
served and much enjoyed. After
dinner Mr. Haley’s charming little
daughter touched the keys of the
organ, playing some beautiful pieces.
On taking my leave I was invited to
the home of Mr. J. S. McNorton,
who introduced me to his clever lit
tle wife, and was made to feel wel
come. Mr. McNorton is a new-com
er to that section, and is working at
the stave business, located in the
eastern portion of this county on the
lands of Mr. Fleas. Love joy of Hawk-
insville, formerly owned by Mr. R.
F. Napier. I visited this enterprise
just before Christmas, and will tell
you something of its capacity, etc.,
in my next.
Mr. J. M. Bunn contracted with
Mr. R. L. Baird during Christmas to
move the well from Mr. Baird’s
present home to his new residence
for $25. Well, Marshall, you ought
to have moved it Christmas, when
times were good.
We notice some of our merchants
are receiving spring goods.
We learn through Mr. H. Benson,
secretary of tbe Grovania Oil & Fer
tilizer Co., that they have shipped
two tanks of oil, about 7,000 gallons
to the tank. Mr. Benson says their
yield will be larger than last season.
Mr. J. G. Crawford, machinist, says
the machinery is in fair shape and
everything is running “slick.”
Miss Marilu Wellons has resumed
her school at Hayneville. We are in
formed that the patrons are well
pleased with her as a teacher.
Mrs. F. A. Riley, who has been on
an extended visit to relatives and
friends at Milledgeville, returned
home last Thursday, accompanied
by Miss Clifford Fowler.
Mrs. W. G. Fitzgerald returned
home some days ago from a visit to
friends at Pinehurst, Ga.
