The Intermediate assembly room was about filled when the four B. Y. P. U.'s met Sunday evening. Those who heard the program by the In termediate Union beginning at six o'clock were delighted with it. The program was original and very inter esting. At the evening hour a song service was held in place of the usual serm on. A number from Avondale attend ed and took part in the singing of the fine old hymns. The Avondale quartet rendered some fine numbers and Mr. Plemmons played a violin obligato to all their numbers, also the congregational singing. Mr. Goin Rollins and Mr. Plemmons used the violin and guitar to accompany the Avondale quartet instead of piano or organ. j The Lord's Supper will be ceiebrat jed on next Sunday morning. For | quite a long while this service has been held on Sunday evenings, but i it will be held next Sunday morning I at this time. t Mr. M. C.

The President called a meeting of Published in Connection With The Forest City Couriar CLIFFSIDE LADY DIED TUESDAY Mrs. Lily Jane Bridges Passes Unexpectedly After a Short Illness Her many friends were shocked Tuesday morning to learn that Mrs. Lily Jane Pearson Bridges had pass ed out of this life at her home on the Shelby Highway at 2:30 a. m. Tuesday morning, February 7. Mrs. Bridges was taken ill on Thursday of last week, but none of her friends seemed to think her condition ser ious, nor did it appear to be serious until an hour or so before the end when suddenly she was seized with convulsions. The doctor was called, but she was past ail mortal aid and soon expired leaving five children, most of them quite young and her husband who has been ill for several weeks. Mrs. Bridges was the daugh ter of Mi - , and Mrs. William Pearson who for several years made their home here. Her father and three brothers and two sisters, besides her husband, Mr. Forest Bridges and the five children survive and with her friends mourn their loss. This family has had quite a hard time for the past few years as the father's health gave way and there has been sickness in* the home most of the time. About three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Bridges lost a little boy by death. Mrs. Bridges was nearing her thirty-eighth birthday which is in April. For several years the en tire family have been among the most faithful attendants at all church services unless hindered by illness. Their loyalty has been inspirational. Mrs. Bridges with her husband was always present when possible and re gardless of their bad luck and hard- ships they gave their tithe to the Lord's work. Mrs. Bridges will be missed by others besides the family. As we write this funeral arrange ments have not yet been fully made. The interment will be at Sharon Church in Cleveland County about two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Rev. R. C. Smith who is ill at the parsonage will be unable to conduct the funeral, and we have not yet learned who will be secured. The church extends sympathy to the be reaved ones and will do everything possible for them in this hour of trouble.
