Receives Life Membership
It was a really happy occasion
for the members of the West Ejid
Presbyterian Church to have one
of its lovely Christian wom.en,
Mrs. John L. Thompson, Sr. come
back once again to visit her
Church family. The newly deco
rated sanctuary which she had
never seen, made a perfect set
ting for her as she sat there in
her rolling chair. A great feeling
of joy seemed to rise in the hearts
and minds of the congregation
not only to see her again, but to
be able to share in the honor ac
corded her by the Women of the
Church—a Life Membership.
Friend fo All
How deserving she was of this
honor. She served her community
and church well through the
years. She has been a friend to
everybody, never failing to help
those in need by giving freely Of
what she had that others might
be happier and more secure. With
her late husband. Elder John
Thompson, she maintained a
steadfast loyalty in giving of her
time, talents and material. As one
neighbor has so aptly said of her
—“She has always had something
to do and give for her church.”
'Salt of the Earth'
'The Presbyterian Church is
proud of Mrs. Thompson for the
gi'eat example of Christian living
she has set before the church
community. A good solid citizen
whose citizenship is typical of
“The Salt of the Earth,” a sweet
and kind mother whose children
tell her of her greatness and
woman
Lee Sutphin, W. A. VqnCanon'goodness, a Christian

Special Graciousness
It makes no difference under
what circumstances one meets
her, whether in the depths of de
spair, or on the mountaintop of
joy, there is to be found always
a special graciousness about this
good woman: a bright and happy
smile upon her face, the twink
ling of a rare light in her eyes,
and for everyone kind and gentle
words upon her lips which tell
all those who meet her that here
is a true witness for the Christ
she loves. “Let your light so shine
that others may see your good
deeds,” and “Love your neighbor
as yourself” are fitting philoso
phies for this noble woman’s way
of life as the Women of the
Church have seen her through
the years and continue to see her
today. (Contributed)
