Missionary Society Notes
The Junior Missionary Society
was reorganized Septemner 22
with Miss Dorithy Haddock as
leader and Miss Bessie Frank
McLarty assistant Thirty-four
members wsre enrolled and all
ieemed enthusiastic over the
work.
The next meeting will be held
Friday afternoon, October 5, at
3:30 o’clock.
All children under under four
teen years of age are urged to be
present.
The Young Peoples’ M issiopary
Society was reorganized Monday
evening, September 21, under
the leadership of Mrs. Z. T.
Dak-.
Wednesday evening, Septem
ber 26, the first meeting was
held at the Methodist church. A
good crowd attended, all of
whom seemed to enjoy the meet
ing very much.
After a good programme of
music, prayer. Bible lesson and
interesting story, the society
was dismissed to meet again
Monday evening, October 7. .
Several meetings will be ar
ranged for each society which
will be made very attractive.
We trust that every boy and
girl and every young man and
young woman of the town who
are not members will soon be
enrolled in one of these societies.
There has never been a time
when Christian workers are more
needed than they are today.
Never a time when more homes,
even our own, that feel more
keenly the need of a love and
sympathy of those who have
forgotten self and are ready to
share their sorrows. Our lives
are well worth living when we
lose our small self in the whole,
for the door of heaven will never
be opened so long as the one
between us and our fellow.man
remains closed.
Then let us be doing our “bit”
toward bringing the whole wide
world to Jesus. To do thus is to
be good and to be great.

Nature’s equalization.
A peculiarity of deaf cats is that
they seem to have a very great sense
of feeling in their feet pads. It ia
almost an impossibility for a heavy
animal to approach a deaf cat from
behind without giving it warning, and
this may be attributed to the extreme
sensitiveness of the cat's feet record
ing the slightest tremor of the
1 ground.
