JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY THE PRISCILLA NEEDLE CLUB Tuesday evening, November 24th, Mrs- M. K. Spaulding en tertained the Priscilla Needle Club in the parlors of Carter Hall at Smith University. As the date of the meeting was on the eve of Thanksgiving, a program in keeping with the season was rendered. Guests of the club were Dr. H. L. McCrorey and Prof. Bertram L. Woodruff of the University, and Miss Norris, of the Char lotte “Y.” Prof. Woodruff had been invited to address the club and spoke very informing ly on the observance of Thanks giving in this country. Dr. Mc Crorey and Miss Norris made very pleasing talks. After the completion of bus iness and the literary presen tations dainty refreshments were served. THANKSGIVING SERVICE As has been the custom for a number of years the Thanks giving service at Johnson C. Smith University was held Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving day. The service this year was largely attended and an appropriate musical program stirred a spirit of thankfulness. Rev. Wm. R. Mayberry, who gave the annu al sermon, was apparently “at his best," as some of our cor respondents would say. His text was Psa. 100:4, “Enter into his gates with praise, and into his courts with praise," etc. The discourse was well thought cut and delivered in a way that made a very fine impression. /SUNDAY "SERVICES Dr. P. W. Russell was the preacher at the University church last Sabbath morning. His subject was “The Loss of Paradise," based upon the sto ry of the fall of Adam as told in Genesis. The discourse was very interesting and held the clafee attention of the audience.; The vesper service hour on every fifth Sunday has been allotted to the Woman’s Mis sionary Society of the church. In keeping with this arrange ment the Missionary Society gave a pleasing program last Sabbath- Dr. Shute conducted I the opening exercise, following which Mrs. H- L. McCrorey, the President of the Society, took charge of the meeting. Mrs. McCrorey and Mrs. R. L. Douglass, the Secretary, made bnef talks on the mission work that is being carried on under the Boards of National and Foreign Missions and what the University church women are doing to help. Mrs. McCrorey then introduced the Rev. A- H. Prince, pastor of Brooklyn Presbyterian church, who made the principal address. Mr. Prince gave a very sug gestive address. He empha sized the fact that not alone in foreign fields but right at our doors are opportunities for helpful mission service. BROOKLYN CHURCH NOTES Uy Mr*. D. W. McGill • - Our pastor, Rev. A. H.
