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. Supt. Publicity. 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.
