Hear Constitution
Week program at
Jasper Chapter
The Jasper Chapter, DAR,
met Friday, September 15th at
the home of Mrs. W. F. Ruther
ford on College Street. Asso
ciate hostesses were Mrs. Leon
Nichols, Mrs. George Brocken-
brough, Miss Rose Hamm, Mrs.
R. E. Livingston and Mrs.
Hayne Davis.
During the social half hour
which preceded the meeting,
delicious refreshment of punch,
cake squares, cookies and sand
wiches were served.
The Regent, Mrs. P. M. Ni
chols, presided. After the open
ing ritual, the members stood
while the Acting Chaplain, Miss
Rose Hamm, conducted a me
morial service for three deceas
ed members: Mrs. Katherine
Efird Kinard, Miss Anne Dun
bar Jones and Mrs. Allie Tul-
lah Garlington. After reading
excerpts from the newspaper
obituaries, Miss Hamm read
Psalm 147 for the Scripture,
and followed with an appro
priate poem. A prayer in re
membrance of the deceased and
a prayer for the bereaved con
cluded this part of the pro
gram. Relatives of these form
er members were special
guests of the Chapter.
Mrs. Leon Nichols, Program
Chairman, introduced Miss Mar
garet Paysinger, who, since
this was Constitution Week,
spoke appropriately. She used
an article in a recent issue of
the DAR magazine “Blessings
of Liberty”, by Hon. Philip M.
C r a n e—Member of Congress
as a basis for her remarks. She
explained the difference between
the meaning of freedom and li
berty with reference to the Con
stitution. The words, often used
interchangeable have much the
same meaning, but freedom is
liberty without restraint. Liber
ty is what we want for our
country, but, freedom is much
in use today, “Our Founding
Fathers were highly religious
men and they were powerfully
guided by Scripture in the use
of the word “liberty” and in
the noble experiment they un
dertook in creating this Re
public”.
National Defense was present
ed by Mrs. Ralph B. Baker,
and the President General’s
message was read by Mrs. F.
Scott Elliott.
