A. meeting at Aveleigh The October meeting oP the Golden Age Fellowship was held on Wednesday, 18th at 3:30 P.M. at the Social Hall of Aveleigh Presbyterian Church. Five members of the host church were there to welcome the group. Twenty- four mem bers were present, one new member. The President, Mrs. F. G. Hartley, offered prayer. She then introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. Dot Ross Harmon, who had as her subject “Happiness.” In her charming way she developed the theme, reading first a par agraph by Joseph Ford New ton of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, entitled “How to find Enjoyment in Life.” Each day can be the happiest of your life by finding pleasure in lit tle things, for experiences are happy, if you see them that way. Each season has its beau ty, colored leaves and blue sky in October, snow in winter, the fresh clean leaves in spring, and flowers in summer. Friend ships bring happiness, also music and reading. Finding enjoyment in these things keeps one young. Shepaid a most wonderful tribute to her grand mother, who taught her to see the beauty in the simple things of life. She closed with reading a beautiful poem “Not by Bread Alone” from the Uni versity Presbyterian. Her ad dress was most helpful and in spiring. Mrs. Hartley gave a report of Assembly in Columbia on June 28. Five members went down for one day. The recreation period was very entertaining. Mrs. Lula Bedenbaugh and Mrs. Pearl Reese won prizes. The group joined hands and sang one verse of “ Blest Be The Tie That Binds.” The hostesses then invited the members to the refresh ment table, laden with delicious sandwiches, cheese bits, cook ies, and punch. The fellowship following was very enjoyable.
