'GET-TOGETHER' i
The greatest social event and the
?roost , successful ever staged at the.
Methodist church was that of the
banquet given last Friday night by
tl)o Menjs Bible Class in the ban
quet half of the Sunday School an
nex. Between aixty and seventy-five
men, representing the best element
of citizen ship of the town w efc
present and thoroughly enjoyed the
gre^t feast of good things to eat
that were bountifully spread be
fore them;
.The menu consisted .^of roast
chicken, gibbet dressing, brown
gravy, cranberry .sauce, celery, pick
les, olives, milk, coffee, home-made
isle and cake. These were donated
by med^betV of th^_?^aj?s and the pre
paring and' coqkinj/ was done 'free
of charge, by Mr. Gus Roman,' pro
prietor of the Central Cafe. 'it was
decidedly a "stag" affair, no one of
but men being present and the
comi^jittee in charge f displayed rare
aptltttde in the art of serving and
giving thoaf present a jojly time. .
. After thl Tiour of feasting artd
when the appetites of 'the 'multitude
had been safiofied', the toast master,
Dr. J. F. Zachary called' on Welch
Galloway, the class teacher, for a
speech. Mri Galloway, who is. -a
good orator as well Sis a class teach
er, .readily responded, stressing es
pecially the' ipany benefits of a Men's
Bible' Class and the^nlimited oppor
tunity foir expansion and closing
with the . remafk that this was the
greatest religion gathering of men
ever assembled in Brevard.
When everyone , .present was
called &pon for a few remarks and,
while some were very brief, all to?a
Vnan, responded. Intense interist(
and class enthusiasm 'prevailed.
Many of the invited guests, not only
made 'speeches but pledged them-;
selves to enroll as" class \ members.
Among the principle . speakers of I
the. evehing were: A. F. Mitchell,]
Tom Galloway< E. , R. Welch, F. D.
Clement, C. C. Hodges, C. C..
Yongue, pr. J. F. Zachary, Dr. T.
Jw.Summey, George Hayes, F. A.
Starrettc, S. E. Sterling, ' C. M.
Douslas, and others.
H. C. Ranson, assistant superin
tendent of the Sunday School closed
the "meeting with a' ?? strong appeal
for a greater Sunday School enroll
ment, not only of adults but of all
ages.
The /'Metodist church has one of
the best equipped Sunday Schools irt
the. State. The large, spacious, new
addition to the church affords each
class a Separate, room, properly and
handsomely furnished, comfortably
heated and ventilated, and 'with an
abundanc^ of light and sunshine.
The Men's Bible Class had forty
seven present Sunday and a contri
bution of $16.00. They are forking

Mr. Charlie Gillespie has pur
chased a regular "old time jinny,"
to the delight of all the.boyij in the
conyn unity as well as to himseljf.
The, older people tell us It was no
rare sight to see one riding a jinrty
when they were young, but to the
younger folks it is unusual. This
particular jinny is stubborn, doesn't
like to start nor stop once it gets
started, and kicks. But the children
are usually so close it can't get a
hard kick so no one gets hurt.
The hunters ?, are having . some
good sport o'possum hunting, and
the trappers are making some &pod
catches; for instance, Robert
Gravely set four traps one day. The
next' day he found three o'posums
and one skunk ? game in every trap.

[THE PRAYER CORNER
; FORGIVING AND FORGIVEN
.
This is the time of the year wh^n
the appeal of the apostle should
come home to every heart.
"Ei'et all bitterness and wrath, and ]
anger, clamor and ey'ilspeaking be ,
put away from you wtth all malicdK
AnH be ye . kind one to another,
tender* hearted, -forgiving one "an
other, ever as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you."
"Of him that hopes to be fp,rgiv
en," says Samuel Johnson, "it is in-'
dispenably requirdd that he for
give, , It is therefore supferflous to
urge any other motive. On this great
duty Eternitjr is suspended, and to
him that' refuses to purchase it, the
Throne of Mercy is- inaccessible apd
the Saviour of the World is born in
vain." . /
Cherish then a forgiving spirit, my
friend, do no't allpw yourself to'
bear a grudge or harbor an unkind
thought against any one; bury all
unpleasant feelings beneath^' the
leaves and snow, fle?ply let thepi be
hidden away no mote to wake, - and
haunt cyou. Christ had more to for
give than you, but he bqrp no ill
will toward those who persecuted ,.
Him. . ?, *
What will it matter in a few
brief years if some one injured your
pride, or hurt yoijr feeling's? Better
overlook it and forgive it; life is so
(short. Would you want to stand face, .
to face with your Lord* and be .
obliged to say, ."Master, I am un- ;
v/orthy a place in Thy. Kingdom be
cause I could not forgive?" ,
