The occasion was one of pleasure and all were made to feel at home by the gracious hospitality of the Woman's Club. Meeting at Baptist Church. A series of meetings began at the Baptist church Sunday morning with an excellent sermon by the pastor, Rev. H. F. Brinson, on "The Uni versal Call." The pastor preached again Sunday night, us'.ng as a sub ject, "Highways to Hell." Both these were strong sermons, listened to by good congregations. In the absence of Rev. John A. Wray, of Monroe, who was expected to arrive yesterday, Rev. G. W. Rol lins, of Benson, preached last night, using as a text: "And the disciples were called Christians first at Anto oeh." It was a good sermon and show ed forth some of the things in the Christian life that are really worth while. The singing was led by Mr. Furman Betts, of Raleigh, a man v.ho is well known as a gospel singer. Mr. Wray wired that he would not be able to get here until today. He is expected this afternoon in time for the afternoon service. Services will be held twice daily ? at 3:30 in the afternoon, and at 7:45 at night. The people of the town are giv en a cordial invitation to attend all these services. A special invitation is given to all the singers of the several congrega tions to join the choir and help Mr. Betts to make the singing a strong feature of the meeting. Red Crass Notes. The Red Cross chapter will meet as usual, next Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in the Woman's Club rooms. A full attendance is earnestly desired. The Smithfield Chapter has now ex actly 200 members, thus our charter is secure. In addition to this large member ship of the parent chapter, the Benson Branch has enrolled 32 members, the Four Oaks Branch has 44 members, and the Lincoln Branch numbers 14. The Chapter and Branches are now busily making hospital garments and surgical dressings. An entire room is given up to a group of workers from the Chapter, who are making bandages and surgical dressings exclusively. This division is directed by Miss Alice Grantham and Miss Jessie Lee, both graduate nurses of acknowledged abil ity. They have a bandage roller, and correct models, and the bandages they make would look well in the most up to-date drug store. The officers of the Chapter were sorely grieved that some of the draft ed men left Saturday for Camp Jack son, without receiving their comfort bags. Heretofore, Judge Brooks, of the Council of Defense, has told us when the boys were leaving; but he was out of town last week, and so the error occurred. However, on Monday, the chairman and secretary filled a bag for each man from Smithfield township, and sent it to them at Co lumbia. X. Y. Z. To the Members of \V. M. S. of the M. E. Church. This is the close of the third quar ter and it is earnestly desired that each member send in all dues and pledge money by the 27th instant, that we may have a full report. MRS. T. J .LASSITER, Pres.
