BESSIE HFT GIRLS
OUT IN MOONUGHT
Lest week the Bessie Tift Sunday
school class, known as Freshman C-,
accompanied by Mrs. Tingley, the
teachgr, “hiked” to the woods and
found an inviting hill on which they
soon had a big camp fire biasing.
Bacon and marshma^ows .were
toasted while stories .were told to
the girls. After the last marshmal
low was eaten and the last story
told, the girls tramped home in the
Rioonlight. Every minute in the
open had been filled with pleasure.

How to Cot An Umbrella.
“That’s a swell umbrella
carry.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Did you come b yit honestly?.”
“I haven’t quite figured it out It
started to rain the ether day and
I stepped into a doorway to wait
till it stopped. Then I saw a young
fellow coming along, with a nice
large umbrella, and I thought if he
was going as far as my house 1 would
beg the shelter of his umbeivhoot.
So I stepped put and asked: *^Tere
are you going with that umbrella,
young fellow?’ -and he dropped th«
umbrella and ran.”
I6-YEAR OLD LAD

• Probably the youngest Sunday
school, superintendent in the
world is Earl Cook,-16 years old,
who serves in that capacity at
the First Baptist church at Nixa,
Mo. Reports to the denomination

man is doing excellent work.
JAPANESE PLAY IS GIVEN
• AT REHOBOTH ASSOCIATION
A Japanese play was successfully
staged by several Bessie Tift girls
at the recent meeting of the Reho-
both Association. Those who had
roles were lone Foster, Willie Mae
Rowe, Frances McBath, Ina Ledford,
Inez Geiger. Cornelia Foster sang
‘Prayer Perfect” and Lovie Harrell
and Sara Summerford contributed
to the program with a duet. Miss
Marguerite Robertson was the able
accompanist.
The other day a group of fellows
were telling what was the most im
portant place in their home town.
Freshman Richardson said that
the place of most importance in his
town was a railroad crossing. So
many boys had stumped their toes
over a spike which protruded about
two inches above the ground at this
crossing that it looked like where
someone had been cleaning fish.
