Perkins School Notes

clam have ordered clmm rings.

started off our year with an en-
rollment of thirty-one -- just the
right number, we think.

The Sunday meeting of
theW. C. T. U. was held last
Sunday night at the Baptist
Church, with a good attendance,
the house being crowded.
The song service, led by r.
Hatchett, started the program off
with enthusiam. Devotionals
were led by Mrs. Turner. The
playlet acted by Mrs. Francis
Crabbs, ,Mrs. Hattie Butler,
and four young women, entitled,
"Daughters to the Rescue," was
well rendered by each character.
The leading thought being, the
great need for young mothers
and daughters to put forth every
effort to make our country a bet-
ter place for our children to grow
up in.
Rev. Weaver, pastor of the M.
E. Church, gave the address of
the evening, his text being,
"What is man that thou art
mindful of him?" The message
was well received. He exhorted
us to live better and more useful
lives in order to help others to
see and know of God's great love
for us.
The fifth Sunday meetings are
a gathering of all the churches in
order to keep the temperance
work before all the people. The
ministers of the churches have
responded in a wonderful way in
giving the addresses for our pro-
grams, for which we are thankful.
The next meeting will be held
at the M. E. Church, December
30th with Rev. Cays giving the
address. An interesting program
will be prepared. Every lady is
urged to attend.
