Luke's Church Helps Needy The Men's cliib of Si. laike's Episcopal church is making an effort this year to carry as much Christmas cheer as possible to the unfortunate^~bf. Columbia and vicinity. * The club met last Thursday evening at the residence of Mr. Palmer Wilson, .1719 Gadsden street irt order to perfect plans, for giving baskets to the needy families of the city. This meeting was unique in at least two ways. First, it carried with it the spirit of social inter-course among men of like minds, and secondly, it . carried with it the spirit of brotherhood to all men. Miss Wilhelrnina Roberts, case worker with the Family Welfare society, met with the men and re viewed the conditions of the needy families in Columbia and discussed the types of needs existing aniong them. She said that there are one hundred and twenty families on the rolls of the welfare society which should be helped. She also said that some of these families could do-their own spend in# quite well, and would be given money. By spending themselves, she said, their children would not lose confidence in them at a time when all children of other parentsare receiving Christmas eheei from their mothers and fathers. Miss Roberts said, however, that there were some families which could not spend wisely, and would be given Christmas baskets. President I. Harry Goodwin and Secretary E. C. Games told the club that all the baskets which the club would donate except those which are given to the needy families of St. Luke's church should ?be-given throuch the Welfare so-'J ciety. Mr. Games said that this would be one way in which the club would know that those who are not actually able to? pro\ide for themselves would he helped. ti.. _i..u .1 .1. 1 . i nt* ciuu iiKi evu wnn mt' conciu I sions of these two men. At the J' suggestion of Mr. Andrew W. Simkins it was* decided that the baskets would be more than mere baskets of staples to feed hungry ^baskets should not only bring to the recipients the necessities of life, but that they' should also bring to them some of the niceties which they are unable to get, and ? which every person should have at this season of the year in order that it might seem like Chl'iSt ~ mas. The club heartily agreed with Mr. Simkins in this matter. At the close of the business meeting, the club enjoyed a most ' palatable, wholesome, and delici- 1 ous turkey ?upper as the guests 1 of one of its members, Mr. Palm- ' er Wilson. Among the outside ' guests present at tbis meeting.and ' who made short talks congratu- ' lating these men on the %ery fine 1 work which they are doing in the*' church anri in the community were 1 Miss Wilhelmina ^Rdberts, Profes- ' sor G. E. Nelson, of Benedict col- 1 lege, and Dr. J. E. Briggs, of J Benedict college. > RIDGE SPRING NEWS ' ( In spite of the down pour of \ rain Sunday, a few children and I officers found their way to Ridge t Hill S. S. The Y. P.
