standing feature of the Meu’s
Bible Class service was the spleu
did talk of Hon. W. A. Tanker

bound for thirty minutes- It was
a great privilege to hear him. His
message was inspirational.
At the regular preachiug hour-
11:30 A. M. - the great old Church
was filled to capacity. The 215
ladies aud meu from the Philalhea
and Meu’s Bible Class sat in a
body, occupying reserved seats.

beautifully rendered and oppre

Then the Pastor read his second

year, and sounded an optimistic

ABRAM KAHN
LOSES EYE
The many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Barney Kahn will learn with
great regret that specialists in At¬
lanta found it necessary to remove
the right eye of little Abram Kahn
It was discovered last week that
the eye was seriously affected, and
Mr. aud Mrs. Kahn rushed the
little boy to Atlanta to the care of
specialists iu the hope that the eye
might be saved, but it was to no
avail.
Reports received Thursday are
to the effect that Abram is doing
well, and that no futher compli¬
cations have resulted from the in¬
fected spot, which was behind the
eye.
