RECEPTION IN HONOR OF MRS.
HUNT GWYN
One of the most pleasing social
events of the year occurred at the
home of Mrs. Mary Gwyn Saturday,
March 5, when many friends were
welcomed at a reception given in
honor of the charming bride, Mrs.
Hunt Gwyn. The guests were re
ceived at the. door by Mrs. Rufus
Gwyn. Mrs. Hunt Gwyn, Mrs. Mary
Gwyn and Mrs. Harry Courtney
formed the receiving line in the hall,
which was a most appropriate place
for a bride, with its profusion of
flowers, redolent with fragrance, and
each springtime blossom a symbol of
life, youth, beauty, hope and love.
Mrs. J. C. Seagle led the way into
the gift room, where many gifts,
both valuable and useful, were on
display. Miss Janie Maury Bern
hardt ushered the guests into the
dining room, which was also profuse
ly decorated with flowers, jonquils in
I abundance to aid in carrying out the
i color scheme of yellow and white.
I Candles everywhere, with their yel
: low shades, sent a soft glow to even
i the most remote corners of the room.
' Seated at the beautifully appointed
table, Mrs. G. L. Bernhardt poured
; coffee into dainty hand-painted cups,
i Mrs. J. W. Self and Miss Stella Cloyd
! served white and gold ice cream and
white and gold cake, which was too
pretty to eat, but really too delicious
to refuse. Misses Mary Gwyn Hick
erson, Dorothy Self and Isabel Bern
hardt served stuffed dates and white
and yellow mints.
! In the drawing room a musical pro-
' gram was given, which added much
1 to the pleasure of all who wen so
! fortunate as to be present.
May the bride's life be long and
: happy; the fragrance of springtime
blossoms always near her, and echoes
of music ever whispering to her the
sweet old-new story of love that
i spdls peace, content and happiness.

AT REFORMED CHURCH
As a special preparation for the
Easter communion service there will
be worship at the Reformed church
several evenings next week, to which
the public is cordially Invited.
METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
The item of special mention this
week is the Wesley Bible class. Not
withstanding much illness and bad
weather the class has been able to
hold its own, and last Sunday marked
a fine advance, 57 being present. Our
goal is 100 in the class Easter Sun
day. We expect the Bishop to ad
dress the class and some other inter
esting and inspiring features. Let
every available man be found. Use
the telephones, your autos, personal
letters, personal invitations, and ev
ery possible way to get them there.
There is a lot of fine legitimate mate
rial. That is, Methodists, men of
Methodist persuasion, and a iarge
number who don't affiliate anywhere
especially. Fellows, go after them,
and not once but twenty times, if
necessary. If they come once and
see this great class they will come
again, and again.
Our meeting begins Easter Sun
day, the great sermon by the Bishop
giving us a great start-off, we expect.
Let nothing prevent you from hear
ing the Bishop preach Easter Sunday
morning. One of the greatest preach
ers in the South and one. of the finest
spirits in all the land. Everybody
loves Bishop Darlington.
We tried to secure Rev. Luther
B. Bridgers of Gainesville, Ga., as
our evangelist this spring, but he was
unable to find a date for us. He is
one. of the big men of the church and
most successful evangelist. We have
contracted with him for the fall
meeting immediately after confer
ence. In the meantime let us all pull
together to make our own meeting
with our own pastor a great suc
cess. We are trying to get a good
choir leader, but have not yet been
able to mate final arrangements. Al
together for great audiences Sunday
and a big Sunday school.
Yours for the kingdom,
i E. R. . WELCH.
