No Intentional Conflict

Postponed
The monthly meeting of
Woman’s Home Mission Society
was postponed until next Mon
day, 4p. m. at the Methodist
church. We hope for a full
tendance of the membership at
that hour, and extend a hearty
invitation to all of our ladies, to
be with us.
This month marks the close of
the second quarter, and half the
year. If you are in arrears ever
so little, it will be the duty of the
treasurer to give you a cali.
Wouldn’t it be a pleasant surprise
to this officer, for every member
to bring or send dues and
“special’' up to Sept-, and so save
the treasurer one month’s found
of calls! Lets try it just this one
time
Brief mention was made last
week, of the “Vashti Home and
School for Friendless Girls”,
Thomasville, Ga. Since then, our
Home Mission Disb. Sec., Mrs
Hook, has suggested that oar
Anx might render needed aid to
this school, by furnishing a room
in the large new building.

room would be called the “Fort
Valley Room”, or by any name
which we might wish it called.
How does this appeal to you?
Think about it and let us hear
from you.
Can you, can I—how many can
pray from our hearts this prayer;
“Lftttpilwad care be multiplied;
I’ll think and plan and live in
Thee.
Thy! tranquil wisdom be my
guide;
The truth in Christ still keeps
me free. 1)
I And yet it is not until you,
1 until, I, can say this and mean it,
i that our lives will count for their
full worth in the redemption of a
lost and sinful world.
