Primitive Baptist
Communion Service
At Rock House
Pinnacle, Aug. 15. —The Prim
itive Baptist church at Rock
House held its annual communion
service last Sunday, wi;h a large
crowd in attendance. One hund
red and twenty-five members took
part in communion service.
The preaching members were
Elders Harris, Braswell, Mabe,
Priddy, Fulk, Brown, Tuttle,
Beasley, Pyrtle.
We believe that these are some
of God's chosen ones He has call
ed out of darkness into his mar
velous light, and sent out into
the world to preach the Gospel
to the poor, to heal the sick, bind
up the broken-hearted, unstop the
leaf ears, bringing glad tidincs
>" ioy, of peace on earth and
[bod will to men, rightly dividing
he word of truth, preaching
esus to be the way, the truth,
;he life, and without Him no
)ther way. The same old truth,
n the same old way. Amon;»
'jose are some whose heads are
lilvering with age, while some
jre in their young age. As the
Id ones are passing out and d»-
karing this wonderful truth, the
bung ones are following in their
>otsteps. We feel to be thank
il for the privilege of hearing
lem tell of God's roodness and
>wer. which does away with all
infusion.

Mrs. ('has. j Pratt was host
ess to the IVilly .Madison Book

beautiful baskets and vases oi
dahlias and zinnias gave eloquent
testimony to the taste and skill
of the hostess in the growth and

| Mrs. Nat M. Pickett, program
chairman, announced the subject
of study, two heroines of much
historic importance, who have ev
er been subjects of discussion and
controversy.
The first, Charlotte Corday,
was presented by Mrs. Robert
Labberton in her own charming
manner.
A young French woman of
great beauty and courage, Char
lotte Corday, lived during the
French Revolution. Marat ap
peared to her to be the arch ene
my of Franch and she therefore
considered it her duty to destroy
him.
A delightful musical number
was the song, "There, Little GirL
Don't Cry," sung by Miss Miriam
Hall, accompanied by Miss Luna
Taylor.
The second historical charac
ter study, Mary Todd Lincoln,
was most interestingly given by
Mrs. Junius C. Brown.
Dr. William A. Evans, of Ala
bama, has made a study of Mrs.
Lincoln from a psychological
standpoint. He finds her the vic
tim of circumstances, caught in
the riptide of the momentous,
conflict between the North and
South. Extravagant, high strung,
emotionally, she was ever devot
ed to the great emancipator.
Mrs. Pratt served a most at
tractiva salad course, followed by
a sweet course.
