I Baptist Church Circles Mset In Joint Session i Amid a beautiful setting the j Woman’s Missionary Society of First Baptist church began their year’s activities, on Monday af ternoon at 3 o’clock: under the capable leadership of Mrs. A. R. Warren, who is serving her sec | ond year as president. Thirty six members heard a j most helpful program which was j rendered in an unusual and impressive manner. The meeting was opened with the singing of the hymn for the year, “All Hail The Power of Jesus’ Name.” The watchword for the year was repeated, ‘That all the King i doms of The Earth May Knew | That Thou Art the Lord, even | Thou only,” Issiah, 37:20, after which Mrs. R. L. Wilburn led in prayer. Circle No. 1, Mrs. R. P. Burns, leader, had charge of the pro gram. Mrs. W. Y. Pass gave the devotional, entitled, “Friend ship”, and also led in a devotion al prayer. The subject for discussion, “witnessing”, was very effective ly given by candle light. There was a minature light house and as each part was spfoken a can dle was lit from this central light, which of course represent ed “Jesus, the Light of the World.” Mrs. R. P. Burns’ part on the program was “witnessing by The Light.” Others were, “Wit j nessing Through the Ages” and : “Christian Witnessing Today”, by, Mrs. Curtis Oakley. The fact I was brought out that Christian is bofttiftuing to a mosjti remarkable degree in the countries where persecution pre vails. ■ Mrs. T. B. of the “Worlds’ Need of Baptists Wit ' nessing.” There are fifteen mil lion Baptists in sixty different countries today. Her plea was that we might all be great wit nesses for Him in this day of trouble ; jjloodshed and war. The program part of the meet ing was brought to a close by j Mrs. Edwin Bowles leading a prayer |cf dedication to the ac [ complishment of soft music, i The reading of the minutes | was given and a discussion fol- I lowed of the work of the year just closed. This has been very satisfactory, and all were urged to “press forward” in the work during the year 1943. We now have seven Circles, I fbur at day and three at night. | The Circle leaders for the year i are: Mrs. R. P. Burns, Mrs. A. F. James, Mrs. W. W. Morrell, Mrs. j Dewey Young, Mrs. Alma Mor ! ton, and Mrs. Robert Harris.

Although this exception (an' up-to-date encyclopedia) is the j exception, we feel that it is not I a tremendous lack because .the; 'material is supplemented in oth-j 1 er forms. It is unusual for a lib- 1 rary of this size to have books; on practically every general sub-1 ject. Our library is fertunate in this respect because *ve have re ceived this type of books from 1 the Cincinnati Public Library j Duplicate Collection and from the Victory Book Civilian Col- i lection for Defense Areas. Mayj we list below the other requir-' ed reference tools?

If the library had an Ency clopedia Britannica or Encyclo pedia Americana, we would fall 'in the same classification as c town library yrs 25,000. This is, of course, due to the fact that we have a general collection that or dinarily is found in a library with book buying policies of long excellent standing.

May the Per-' son County Public Library sug gest the following two selections from our new Pay Duplicate Col lection? Field: Law Man Os Powder Val ley The law-abiding ranchers of j F(;.wder Valley were riled about', crooked Ben Swart and his 1 shady methods. When Sheriff Grimes and his wife were found brutally murdered public opin ion reached the boiling point. ; Pat Stevens’ reputation forj bravery earned him the job of avenging the murders and clean ing up the Valley. Sam and : Ezra’s loyalty to Pat got them, appointed deputies. They didn't 1 like it but they knew better, than to argue with Pat ience his: mind was made up. There was plenty of trouble! ahead and that they did like. | A sheriff has to stay within the law; Swart had no such frustra tion. The deputies, too, had to 1 fight with one eye on the law;! Sw'art’s gang, on the- other hand, was tough and ruthless. ! The story of these three and their desperate battle with the elements of brutaliy and disor der is he most spinetingling to date in this unusual and hair raising series.

J Many People Help! Pvt. Keseros But I None Take Award! - i Private Joseph Keseros, of 310 , Inf., Reg. Headquarters company, ! Camp Butner, spent the week- I end in Roxborb and while here j lost a black onyx ring. It was , his 1937 Mansfield, Ohio, high j school, class ring and he valued it. First he went to the police, then sought a newspaper man. It was one o’clock in the morn ing. Private Keseros went back to camp. A few days later he received a note. Finder pf the | ring was Willard Abbitt, of Roxboro, who discovered it in I the parking space back of Per- j son County Court house, and turned it over to City Policeman George Walker. Walker tetek the ring to a jewelers, had it straightened and polished. The jeweler did the job free. The ring went to Kes eros. Keseros wrote to Walker, enclosing a promised five dol lar reward and an extra dollar for bonus.
