Womans Missionary Union Holds Session at Mt. Zion. The 18th. session of the Womal Missionary Union auxiliary to tl Edgefield association was held wi1 Mt. Zion church on Thursday ar Friday Aug. 31 arid Sept. 1. A mission society was reported ? organized in each church, and r ports had been sent in, but a lari number were unrepresented on a count of the long distance. Perhaj the ones coming from the furthe? churches were Mrs. J. M. Bussey c Parksville and Mrs. ?. F. Manly c Mt. Creek. Mrs. J. L. Mims who has been suj erintendent of the Union from il organization presided over the Meei ing and Mrs. W. W. Fuller acted a secretary. Mrs. Arthur T. Allen of Edgefiel conducted the morning devotions taking as her theme the W. M. U watchword, "I can do all thing through Christ who strengtheneth m Mrs. Allen made this introduction ti the morning work very effective am helpful. Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn o: Edgefield and Scranton whom all o: Edgefield association delights to wei comes, offered the prayer. Another happy meeting was tha with brother P. B. Lanham whom thi Mt. Zion church and the woman; Missionary had hardly dared to hop? would be able to be present having so recently returned from the hos pital and a serious operation. Brother Lanham had promisee that on this occasion the most hear ty welcome ever accorded the unior would be extended, and although he was scarcely able to come to the meeting his faithfulness overcame every difficulty and he carried out his promise of giving a most hearty and enthusiastic welcome. Mrs. T. J. Briggs of Hardys church responded, and received quite an ovation on ac count of her intelligent response to . 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 new 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 *. 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 organization 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. Edgefield 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, i . 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 f 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 til the great achievement of worn the responsibility of Southern B tists. A collection was taken for the penses of the meeting, and the me ing adjourned for dinner. Out under the trees which gi very welcome shade ?s the day v hot and dusty, the social hour a the bountiful dinner was greatly i joyed and the cordial hospitality the good people of this section h opportunity to be manifested. Soi of the people accused Mt. Zion being out of the boll weevil bek, i nobody could see any evidences his presence. There never was a mc bountiful dinner spread and evei body seemed to be in a good humo Afternoon Session. Miss Emmie Lanham, superints dent of the Young .Womans Aux iary presided over the afternoon sc sion. Miss Fannie Lee Carter co ducted the devotions, reading H arews 2.

Miss Flora Barrett, a registere mrse and student at the trainin ichool in Louisville was present a i guest of the union and spoke mos icceptably. Miss Barrett is a sister o Hiss Clifford Barrett who has bee for a year now a missionary in cen ral China. Miss Barrett is a gran laughter of Rev.

An interesting contest is 01 >etween the Baptists and Method sts as to who will secure the larges lumber of subscriptions to their res bective church papers. All you peo ?le who have so much denomination il pride, now is your time to shov four church loyalty in a substantia ;vay. When the names of those- whe ivere staying over night were callee mere were found to be only three Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn, Miss Flora Bar :ett and Mrs. J- L. Mims.

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 ?rade 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 each 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 wa3 the keynote. Onward Christian . Soldiers, was sung, and the minutes of the first day read by Mrs. T. J.

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 the Sun day School Board and was led by Miss Florence Mims. The children taking part were, Carolyn Dorn,Ed gefield, who had the principal part, Katherine Mims, Edgefield, Mary and Miriam Glover, Helen Harley, Nelle Mathis, Ellie Lou and Hettie Reynolds, Hardys, Tiny and Martha Whitlock, Trenton. The consecration service was led by Mrs. Arthur T. Allen, after which thel8th. session of the Edgefield W. M. U. rame to a close, Rev. A. f. Allen promunciig the baneJ'ction.
