COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET The reception and banquet given in honor of the Rev. and Mrs. M. II. Wilkinson Thursday evening, April 10, in the lecture room of Mt. Moriah Baptist church, was a most delightful affair from every point of view and reflects credit upon the efficient corps of workers who had the matter in hand. The room was beautifully decor ated with American flags and palms and the tables were adorned with carnations and Boston ferns. The menu was excellent. The service was in charge of Mr. Frank Clark of the University club and his capable corps of waiters, who had generously vol unteered their services. George W. Hibbler was at his best as toastmaster. In introducing the first speaker he said that Mt. Moriah Baptist church had adopted the cus tom of giving a reception to its pas tors upon their advent. But their stay had been so brief that the of ficers finally concluded that they had better wait until a pastor remained a year, and at the expiration of that year to tender a reception and ban quet in his honor. The Rev. Mr. v/ilkinson had remained a year and had done excellent work and this was the reason for the present as sembly. The Rev. G. G. Logan had as his toast “The Hand of Welcome” and in his usual witty way delighted his audience. Mrs. R. Lewis spoke for “The Sunday School.” It was a brief, thoughtful and well-prepared address. The Rev. Thomas A. Tag gart, who is a son of Mt. Moriah Baptist church, spoke on “The Help ng Hand” and emphasized the need of encouragement to those who are striving to accomplish results. Mr. H. L. Anderson had as his subject, “Facts and Figures.” Among the notable facts and figures presented 1'or the year’s work were the growth in membership from 65 to 165; an in crease in the income from $1300 to ., 2388; improvements in the property and all bills, including pastor’s sal ary, paid in full to date. Mrs. C. B. Saffold read an admirable paper, brief and germane, on “Our Women’s Work.” The Rev. John Albert Wil liams was given the topic “The Press and the Ministry,” and emphasized the fact that both these agencies ought to be fearless in proclaiming the truth. Responses were given by Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson and the Rev. M. H. Wilkinson, respectively. It would be impossible to surpass in thought, language, delivery or graciousness the delightful address given by Mrs. Wilkinson. And there v«as a ring of sincerity and humility in the address of the Rev. Mr. Wilkin son which accounts for the warm place he holds in the hearts of his congregation. .MIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII^ (May Sale| I of 1 \Blouses\ Begins |SaturdayI I MARVELOUS 1 I VALUES 1 1Brandeisi | Stores I ^ 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 iT t-«—...
