Womans Missionary Union Holds Session at Mt. Zion. The 18th. session of the Woma Missionary Union auxiliary to t Edgefield association was held wi Mt. Zion church on Thursday a: Friday Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. A mission society was reported organized in each church, and i ^ ports had been sent in, but a lar; number were unrepresented on a count of the long distance- Perha, the ones coming from the furthe churches were Mrs. J. M. Bussey < Parksville and Mrs. ?. F. Manly i Mt. Creek. Mrs. J. L. Mims who has been su erintendent of the Union from i organization presided over the Mee ing and Mrs. W. W.

Littlejohn c r Edgefield and Scranton whom all o Edgefield association delights to we! comes, offered the prayer. Another happy meeting was tha with brother P. B. Lanham whom th Mt. Zion church and the woman Missionary had hardly dared to hop would be able to be present havin; so recently returned from the hos pital and a serious operation. ? Brother Lanham had promiset that on this occasion the most hear ty welcome ever accorded the unioi would be extended, and although h.? was scarcely able to come to thi meeting his faithfulness overcami every difficulty and he carried ou his promise of giving a most heartj and enthusiastic welcome. Mrs. T. J Briggs of Hardys church responded and received quite an ovation on ac count of her intelligent response tc rv the welcome as well as being presi dent of the only society which has up to this time gone ahead of the 75 million pledge. The church at Har dys is also on the South Carolina Honor Roll for being the only one in Edgefield up with the pledge. Mrs. Briggs theme in responding was "La borers together with God." Mrs. J. L. Mims then introduced the visitors and nev/ pastors and their wives: Rev- and Mrs. A. T. Al len, Mrs. Della Kitchings, superin tendent of Edisto association, Mrs. W. H. Canada, of Edisto Acdemy, Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn, and others. The reports of division presidents had been sent in by Mrs. W. B. Cog burn and Mrs. Prescott Lyon of the 2nd division and Mrs. J. M. Bussey was present from the third division and made her report. The reports A show thorough organization, but the need is for development in leader ship and in the membership. Miss Kellah Fair as treasurer re ported that the amount sent for Miss Neale Young's car was $27.50, and that the car has been sent and has * been a great comfort to her in her work in Africa. The memorial to Mrs. Sallie Talbert was also reported as paid for and the framed picture and certificate exhibited. This me morial placed in the treasury of the Home Mission Board $500 for church building. Mrs. J- L- Mims in her report spoke of the increase in tithers, and ? also stressed personal service in this year of financial strain. Mr. Orlando Sheppard who for twenty five years has been modera tor of the Edgefield association, and who has honored the union by his presence for a number of years gave * cordial greetings and encourage ment. He spoke of the efficiency of the organisation and faithfulness of the women and urged their contin ued interest. The various societies present made verbal reports. Those ' represented were Edgefield, Mrs. Lovick Minis; Hardys, Mrs. T. J. Briggs; Horns Creek, Mrs. S. B. Mays; Mt. Creek, Mrs. N. F. Manly; Mt. Zion, Mrs. T. H. Whitlock; Parksville, Mrs. J. M. Bussey; Republican, Mrs. Carrie Hammond; Red Oak Grove, Mrs. Leila Bussey; Trenton, Mrs. T. P. Salter. Mrs. W. H. Cannada of Edisto Academy was called upon and made - a very appealing talk in behalf of Edisto Academy asking for a schol^ arship for that institution for some worthy young man or woman. IEdgefield association has always treasured Edisto and have for sever al years contributed for various ob jects which would be of assistance in equipping the school. ' . Rev. A. T. Allen, pastor of First Baptist church of Edgefield, made the address of the morning on the great need of the fields where the 75 Million Fund is to be expended. His remarks were appreciated and aroused anew the interest and con cern for the progress of the king dom. He expressed his pleasure at *? meeting with the women of Edge ? field association for the first tin the great achievement of worn? the responsibility of Southern Bi tists. A collection was taken for the c penses of the meeting, and the me' ing adjourned for dinner. Out under the trees which ga very welcome shade as the day w hot and dusty, the social hour ai the bountiful dinner was greatly e joyed and the cordial hospitality the good people of this section h; opportunity to be manifested. Sor of the people accused Mt. Zion being out of the boll weevil belt, f nobody could see any evidences 1 his presence. There never was a mo bountiful dinner spread and ever body seemed to be in a good humoi Afternoon Session. Miss Emmie Lanham, superintei dent of the Young Womans Auxi iary presided over the afternoon se sion. Miss Fannie Lee Carter coi ducted the devotions, reading H< brews 2. Douglas Timmerman of E< gefield led the prayer, after whic the various societies made their ar nual reports as follows: Edgefieh Miss Emmie Broadwater; Red Oa Grove, Mrs. Leila Bussey; Edgefieh G. A. May Rives. Elizabeth Timmel man read the message of Mr; George Davis, state chairman. Douglas Timmerman, who is a mir isterial student at Furman Univei S'ity made a very inspiring talk o; "Putting Self on the Altar." Edge field association is very thankful fo his promising young life, and th W. M. U. was; gratified to have hin address the congregation with hi intelligent message on this occasion He stressed the need of ferven prayer, and settmg the example o: encouragement by our works an< performing our obligations loyally. A refreshing and delightful mus ?cal number was given in a vocal sole by Miss Ray Swearingen, "Have Thine own Way Lord." Miss Flora Barrett, a registered nurse and student at the training school in Louisville was present as a guest of the union and spoke most acceptably. Miss Barrett'ls a sister of Miss Clifford Barrett who has been for a year now a missionary in cen tral China. Miss Barrett is a grand daughter of Rev. Mr. Jordan, who was so long a minister of churches in the Edgefield association. Mrs. B. L. Mims of Edgefield made her report as chairman of Mission Study.. Rev. A. T. Allen asked that a lady be appointed in every church to as sist in securing subscriptions to the Baptist Courier, this being Courier week. An interesting contest is on between the Baptists and Method ists as to who will secure the largest number of subscriptions to their res pective church papers. All you peo ple who have so much denomination al pride, now is your time to show your church loyalty in a substantial way. When the names of those- who were staying over night were called there were found to be only three, Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn, Miss Flora Bar rett and Mrs. J. L. Mims. There are not more than 6 or 8 families living near Mt. Zion whose membership is there and al 1 had prepared to pn cer tain visitors. Finally those who re mained were assigned to the homes of Mrs. T. H.' Whitlock and Mrs. Munroe Padgett. Here the guests met the most cordial and abundant bospitality and found no evidence of bard times. The writer and Mrs. Littlejohn bad the pleasure of being entertained in the home of Mrs. Padgett and of meeting Mrs. Walker, her mother; and the little boys, Woodrow Wilson, Wilbur and Leonard. We found a young student in this section , W. A Pardue Jr., who will leave very soon for Randolph Macon, Va. to study having graduated from the tenth grade of the Trenton high school this spring and having attended the summer school at Clemson. The par ents in this particular section are sending some of their children ea'ch day to the Trenton high school using the truck of Mr. W. A. Pardue for that purpose. Sunbeam Session. Another beautiful sunshiny day brought together a good congrega tion for the Sunbeam session. The absence of Mrs. Tillman who was unavoidably detained in Cincinnati where she is visiting her daughter was a source of great disappoint ment to the union and to all those present, many expressing their re gret. Mrs- Barrett conducted the morn ing devotions, reading Hebrews ll. Faith was the keynote. Onward Christian . Soldiers, was sung, and the minutes of the first day read by Mrs. T. J. Briggs acting secretary. The committee elected to nomi nate officers were : Mrs. T. J. Briggs, Mrs. A. T? Allen and Miss Mattie. Shaw and officers as follows were 1 elected: Mrs. J. L. Mims, superinten dent, Mrs. W. W. Fuller, secretary, Miss Kellah Fair, treasurer, Mrs. Ma mie N. Tillman, sunbeam leader, Miss Emmie Lanham, Y. W. A. Lead er. The report on Personal service as sent in by Mrs. W. G. Wells was read by Mrs. B. L. Mims. There were some notable deeds done on this re port, such as organizing a negro sunday school, and a Mission sunday school. One society in the county re ported ten tithers. The report on Hospitals was read by Miss Martha Bell and Mrs. T. J. Briggs made report on literature. While, "Stand Up for Jesus" was being sung the children who repre sented the sunbeam bands came for ward and took the front seats and the reports were made as follows, Miss Carolyn Dorn for Edgefield, Helen Harley for Hardys, gave an appropriate recitation and Miriam Glover sang "We are Little Sun beams." Master N. F. Manly who had come all the way from Mt. Creek, made a fine report from his sunbeam band at Mt. Creek. Mt. Zion Sunbeams were represen ted by Juanita Walker and Agnes Green who- sang together "Jesus Loves me." The Trenton band sent as their delegate the little Misses Whitlock, who gave a lovely message in song. Miss Flora Barrett was'invited to. tell a story to the children and did so most charmingly, the story being "The Selfish Giant." The children were as still as mice and must have gained some big and wholesome ideas from what Miss Barrett told them. A pageant giving the importance of our religious magazines was giv en which had been sent by th? Sun day School Board and was led by Miss Florence Mims. The children taking part were, Carolyn Dorn,Ed ?efield, who had the principal part, Katherine Mims, Edgefield, Mary and Miriam Glover, Helen Harley, Nelle Mathis, Ellie Lou and Nettie Reynolds, Hardys, Tiny and Martha Whitlock, Trenton. The consecration service was led i>y Mrs. Arthur T. Allen, after which mel8th. session of the Edgefield W. VI. U. tame to a close, Rev. A. V"en proncunciig the bi?neJ'ction.
