Dr. King Speaks
To Lydians
“The important part of your
work as a Church secretary w.ill
not be the mechanical work of
typing, shorthand, and bookkeep
ing, but the greatest Christian
service comes in your opportunity
to do personal work and witness
ing in the homes, Sunday school,
chapels, and other organizations
of the Church and Community in
which you serve.” This was the
essence of an inspiring talk given
by Dr. King to tlie members of
the Lydian Club on Monday nigh.t
January 13, at their regular meet
ing in the Home Economics Labor
atory.
The short business meeting was
presided over by Carey Lee Pratt,
President, and in the absence of
the secretary, the minutes and roll
call were read by Betty Attwood,
Vice-President. A poem was read
by Willodeen Dukes.
Time oftsoon will tumble '
All of us together like leaves in a
gust,
Humbled indeed down into the
dust.—J. Miller.
