FELLOWSHIP HAS LUNCHEON The Social Hall of Central Methodist Church was the scene of the March meeting of the Golden Age Fellowship. This was a covered dish luncheon with 24 members and one visi tor present. After the luncheon, a social hour was enjoyed by all. The president, Mrs. F. G. Hartley, opened the meeting with prayer. She read an unique article entitled “A parable about Prayer” which likened the parts of a prayer to the different parts of a tree. “Like a tree” is a common expression in the Word of God. The parable was built around this, “Just as a tree must have roots, body, heart, life, bark, branches, at mosphere and fruit, so does a real prayer, to be effective.” Mrs. Hartley then read a story that was given to her by a member. She also led the rec reation. Paper and pencil were given to each member, who was instructed to draw the picture of any person who was present. Guessing who the pictures were caused a great deal of fun. The nominating committee stated that they would not be able to present a slate of offi cers for election ontil the Ap ril meeting.
