CHAPLAINS ANNUAL REPORT
State Farm, Milledgeville, Ga.
January 1st, 1928.
The Hon. Prison Commission,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my Annual Re
port for the year ending Dec. 31st,
1927.
As I come to submit my Annual
Report I remember that life—in an
environment and work like this—
consists of many duties, and much
that is performed quietly, with pati
ence and love that ia never recorded.
Indeed—that which can be recorded
is always incomplete, for what one
writes is but part of the things
which are thought and felt and done.
"Speech"—said Gdorgc Elliott—is
but broken light upon the depths of
«onfll Sav-
• i publicly declared it to be
ji.'IRK and PURPOSE to live
in lives. AH of these have
nly joined "The State Farm
ns Association” which is: “A
c.-mpany of men and women, nanded
together to study The Word of God,
pray together, ami help each other
work out their salvation.” They
have also joined The “Pocket Testa
ment League,"-which a "Company of
men and women, who make it th«*
RULE of their lives, to READ The
Word of God DAILY, and to carry
a copy of The Bible or The New
Testament with them." These organ
izations arc Undenominational and
Non-sectarian, and the membership
comprises or includes about twenty
different religious denominations.
At the Male Camp an interesting
and helpful Christman program was
given by Mrs. R. B. Moore, and her
co-workers from the Methodist
church at Milledgeville, Ga. At the
Tuberculosis Camp Mr. R. W. Hatch-
cr, a layman in the Catholic Church,
at Milledgeville had charge of the
services and gave to each of the men
a Christmas greeting. At the Female
Camp—through the efficient aid of
the Warden and Matron, Capt. and
Mrs. J. E. Smith—the women and

"I believe that MilLdgeville and

here/' continued Mr. Gheesling. The
Gheesling store is offering three

How anyone can refrain from using s
Waterman’s Ideal Fountain Pen is
something that those who hove used
Waterman's cannot understand.
