The president, Miss Jes sie Curtis, presided over the meet ing. Miss Leatha Edmunds very beau i ifully presented the Bible lesson, "The Challenge at a Time of Great Prosperity and Possibility." It was the study of the'story of Solomon's re ceiving and availing himself of God's wonderful challenge, "Ask what I shall give thee," with its implied as surance that his desire would be granted. Like Solomon, we are com manded to ask. God has no favorite, and he is still eager to bestow upon his needy servants the fullness of his gifts. Mrs. W. R.
