District Educational
Seminar Held, Here
At Methodist Church
The Fall Educational Seminar or
the Woman’s Society of Christian
Service of the Methodist chureft,
was held here last Thursday at
Broad Street Methodist church.
“Chrisian Q;.-cipleship Around th<:'
World” was the theme for the day
and the primary purpose of the
meeting was to present plans for
teaching the Mission and B.bit-
studies in the local churches.
The devotional was conducted by
the Rev. E. K. Garrison pastor of
the hostess church. Mrs. James
Pitts organist, and Miss Ida Gene
Chaney, soloist, gave special musi
cal selections. Mrs. Wilmot Shealy
gave words of welcome which were
responded to by Mrs. W C. Hol-
royd, district president. Mrs.
Dwight Patterson, secretary of mis
sionary education for the district,
led in discussing the new studies
and their importance in the total
program of the church.
Mrs. Paul Knox, district vice-
president, presented the program
material. She stressed the impor
tance of the program committee
and urged the use of the valuable
program material. She suggested
that both A and B programs be
studied and perhaps parts of both
mighe be used. She asked that the
World Federation of Methodist
Women be presented at lea t once
