Curtains Up and Win dows Painted? Pictures Take11. Sunday morning was full of Interest { to the 177 who gathered at the church | It was a beautiful day, neither too , cold, nor loo hot. neither too sunny or | too cloudy but just an ideal morning j to go to our place of worship, shake i hands, see the new fixtures and antic- 1 irate having our "beauties stru".k. i We could not have asked for a more beautiful time and we could not have c better time than we did last Sunday. Promptly at 10:30 the Bunday school was opened by associate superintend ent in the absence of the superintend- , ent. The classes assembled, classes I taught, remarks by-Prof. B. M. Craw ford, principal of our high school and Mr. Roy Jones of Sandy Croek, and then the Pictures! It was a magmfl cent body of young people, middle ned people and old people who allow ed themselves to be exposed to the -?era. - *c. regret very miifeh that we were ? ?? to have a photographer pres ? the kodak pictures were good an 1 course, they will be put in the | TIMES next week. i The u ;endance of 177 even In the, {are of the necessitated absence of I quite a number who were away on ac- j count of sickness, visiting and pleas- 1 ure was magnificent. We are ex tremely glad that we are able to com pare this attendance with 4 months j ? I Curta!ns Up Last Wednesday the curtain com mittee did wonders. They got 6 ma chines, carried them to the church, enlisted a score or more of ladles and made and put up the curtains that day. Yes they are workers. You bet they ar? Even tho they did not have the rings to hang them by they secured the help of some of the men who used wire in the place of the rings. To these women we have nothing but the highest of praise, honor and reverence? for they secured the very best material possible at a reasonable price, made them and put them up in a hurry. They never ceased in their toil even tho they were discouraged on account of the delay In securing the material. We thank them for their faithfulness and want them to continue to make oiir Sunday school the best anywhere. We also thank the Rod committee? for they certainly did their part well , and had the rods up in short time. In regards to the curtains we are mindful of the fact that the Calvin class will need more space and are extremely glad that they have under . consideration folding petitions. You Calving can do things when you try. So get together and make a space large enough and appropriate for men of such real worth as you. We think also if you divide your class into two divisions and have two captains it would be well worth considering. Think over it and act Sunday morn )nK Also we will have to have another space for one of the other classes ? either the Willing Workers or Faith fuls. Let this be finding favor in your minds. ? We are indeed sorry that the month ly superintendent's report in his ab sence was not read as promised. It will be given next Sunday sure. How ever by perusing the condensed and general reports the substance may be secured. t .. . .. Also we regret very much that the Secretary's report was not read. We sincerely hate to make a promise only I to break It? but this we say? thfct we will have nothing in the treasury? | when the curtains are paid for. We wished to show what has been receiv ed in the treasury during the 4 months what it went for, how much we owe and what we will need soon for It Is a dire need we will be In when the first of the year strikes us. Here is what we are facing: 1 Some form of present, gift or enlovment for the children Christmas. 2. New Sunday school books for next quarter. , 3. gome gift to orphanage or mls ?lon board. _ Now you stop to think that we must make our contributions as large as possible. This has been tha best Fall we have had In some time. Cotton has brought and la now bringing ex cellent prices, and why can't we make our hearts glad by opening our pocket hooks to the best causes we have In the community, Sunday school, Church and Day school. People, give and will receive great btes?ln,??. Don* forget that we are way behind with fi nances when we think of what we want to do and what we must do to b? come Standard. Keep up your Inter est. 19.00 U good but we must contri oute mora each Sunday In order that we can pay cash for the niw books! for next Quarter and be not cfamped, when we think of Christmas gifts lrr ouv Sunday school children. Now, go lo work with a zeal and Tim thit will brl-g results. tts again wish to thani the peoplo for tholr coopeir\ tin la dotn^ (hint's You have no Idea ?oft what It means to those who attempt to push thingB when they meet coopuatlon on all .lands, We thank ev^ry one of you. Keep It up. ? Now we want you to look next week for the pictures ih the TIMES. It wan a fine bunch of people together and my! how each class looked. We Just can't wait to see them ? the pictures. Please remember that we are put ting on a drive this month for the lar gest average attendance, collection, and number bibles during this quar ter. You have your part, we have ours. We are striving to do ours and want you to do yours. Will you? Kindly bear in mind that: 1. We begin at 10:30. 2. We need larger collections now than ever ? Treasurers report shows deficit when new books are purchased. 3. The "big fight" for larger attend ance in December Is on and started with a grand rush. 4. That "Old Santa" should remem ber the Sunday school. 6. That each of us has a part to do. 6. That our enrollment Is growing ? out of 350 people living within a ra dius of 3 miles and in our district we have enrolled 301 In the Sunday school. What do you think of that? Well we want every one enlisted. 7. The Secretary Bays that the en velopes should be here by Sunday?" and if they are not ? teachers see that your secretaries make some arrange ment. Now we thank the officers for what they are doing to make their classes interesting and ask them to continue. We want to wind up this year with a gala rush. "To those who work and have faith" nothing Is Impossible. Next Sunday we hope to show you where the deficit Is In our treasury and give an itemized account of every penny that haB been taken In and spent. We believe you are due It and we hope to give it to you. We are giving below the report of Oct. 1, and as far as possible ? not of ficially, what has been taken In and since that date ? taking In to consid eration that the curtains which cost about $85.00 or $90.00 haven't been paid for but will be when the invoice Is received. The above amounts show a little in the treasury but invoice for some books, envelopes, literature for the Sunday school have not been received ? should show a deficit. The amounts received includes the amount taken in by the Manless Wed ding which was $62.00, leaving $102.00 contributed In Sunday school since Oct. 1. 1923 This should make us get to work and see if we can't show a surplus Instead of a deficit. Balance on haqd Oct. 1, 1923.. 2.11 Collections since Oct. 1, 1923.. 102.00 Manless Wedding 62.00 Total $166.11 Curtains about $90 to be paid out.

"Kiss Topsy Turvey" The play presented to us last Fri day night by the Holllater players was very much enjoyed. Topsy Tur vey and Frank were continually keep ing us wondering what prank they would play next and Ned, a negro, was a ready prey to their Jokes as was all members of the cast. The old Deacon showed ua a typical tightwad and Miss Spriggs who became his second wife to fill Jennie's place In his heart, life and housework, soon turned the Joke with the aid of Topsy and they lived happily?? ever after with the wife as boss. The English Lord was the sub ject of many Jokes but came out all right in the end with Topsy as his fi ance, "Ah don cher know." Our school children certainly are worthy of the best desks to be had. We should investigate the kind they have to sit on every day. ? ? B. Y. P. U. Our B. V. P. U. for Dec. 2nd was enjoyed by all. There was a large at tendance and the program was splen did. All parts were spoken except one. That was for Leona Raynor and she didn't get it in time to get it up and Elizabeth Fuller read it. Next time lets get every part up and tell it if its not but two words. That is bet ter than nothing. We can have a per feet program each time if each one that Is on program will render his or her part. Lets do It. Everybody come out next Sunday night and you will feel much better, the next day, I know, because I have tried It. Come, bring your friends out to our B. Y. P. U. It will do you good. Lets have a perfect program for next Sunday night. Why Is there such llttl? Interest shown In the contest In B. Y. P. U-? There seems to be very little rivalry as there have been very few per fect programs during this quarter, ?nd the quarter ends with this month! I The group making the best show ing In the presenting of programs Is to have their picture put In the TIMES. Also a subscription to the Biblical Recorder to the Individual making the most Improvement in B. Y. P. U. and a subscription to the FRANKLIN TIMES for the one/tfcaking next best Improvement. Lets 9ee who will win out now In these last few weeks. .4. ? ? LOCAL SEWS Christmas comes on Tuesday only two and a half weeks away! Mr. C. S. Poison and daughter.
