A METHODIST MISSIONARY NOTES Mrs. Louise Cantey, president of the' Woman's Missionary Society of the Lyttleton Street Methodist chureh began a^series of social teas at her j home in June. Each guest of the af- j ternoon was asked to entertain at a tea, each member contributing a dime which was to be used to further mis sion wcrk at home and in foreign fields. Each hostess has selected her own date for a tea and arranged the program for the occasion. Many de lightful afternoons have been spent in carrying out the plan. Mrs. W. R. ! Zemp planned a musical program in | which Mrs. Ernest Zemp and Miss ' Virginia DeLoache contributed beau- : tiful solos* Mrs. W. R. DeLoache J gave an original contest, the answers j being facts or names of mission I workers outlined in The World Out-look, the Methodist missionary paper. One of the most instructive programs was at the home of Mrs. B. G. Sanders. Twenty-four sprays of leaves were gathered from the gafden of the l">tess and each num bered. The same number of pieces of bark from the same trees were placed on tables and the guests asked to name the leaves and tell from which tree the bark was taken. An appropriate poem called "Wood" was read after the contest was over. Original invitations expressed in verse brought together a represen- , tative number of missionary society j members to the home of Mrs. N. C. I Arnett on Friday afternoon. After | contest and games, "spirituals" were j sung by four members of the choir of Broom Hill church, which is eight j miles in the country. The singers were members of one family, Mary I James and children, David, Mary | Jane and Julia Thelma, and all are j gifted with fine voices. By request "O Mary, Don't You Weep" was sung and the applause that followed each song proved that the audience was appreciative of the music furnished by the singers. Several requests have been made for another program of music to be given by these talented natural musicians. At each tea refreshments have been served and the plan has brought finacial aid to the mission work and the plaseure of social contact between the co-workers in the organization. Manv other programs have been enjoyed and through the remaining days of August and September' a number of attractive teas are being planned. /Jer&onaA Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Wilson and baby of Philadelphia arrived Sunday for a visit to the former's parents, M;\ and Mrs. W.
