Missionary News
As the W. M. S., M. E.
Church, Okolona, received so
bright and beautiful a herald on
the afternoon of Jan. 3rd 1916,
in the social meeting which took
place at the home of Mrs. A. S.
Miller. As all those present
seemed ;
"Strong in thought, brave in
action.
Loving peace, dispelling faction;
Women sweet, glad and gay,
Whowill brighten all our way.
Who, in self forgetful living,
Sweetness to their home are giv-
iner
Women, tender, true and pure,
Who from some dark path can
lure.
Women, noble, loyal and brave-,
Quick to think and strong to
serve. ,
Women, who will serve for
others.
Who make wise looking mothers;
Ever patient gentle, kind
Sowing right thoughts in the
niind.
Yes, we feel that all there is
indicative of one of the best
year's work, that the Okolona
Aux has ever done. The fulfill
ing of this prediction rests with
us, my co-workers.
The election of newofficers
was in order at this meeting. It
were better, we believe, to say
reelected, as with two or three
exceptions the old officers were
reelected: bister meyer, our
new pastor's wife, was elected
1st Vice Pres., Mrs. Dan Shell
begged to be released as Local
Treas., from a service of 15
years, faithful veteran, we were
slow to give her up, but we
gladly welcomed Mrs. Porter
Davis who was unanimously
chosen to fill her place. '
Before our closing- remarks,
we offer our sincerest apprecia
tion in behalf of the Society to
Mrs. Miller for her delightful re
freshments and her lovely way
of entertaining.
Friendsas we stand on the
threshold of the New Year, vain
regrets will not undo the mis
takes that lie smoldering in the
ashes of the Old Year, but may
we not lift these mistakes to the
throne1 of our Father's tender
mercies and loving forgiveness,
and we will brush them as cob
webs from the fabric of our
being and adorn us with such
noble inspirations as to blind us
to the shortcomings of our fel
lowmen and only see and en
courage the good that's in them.
To those of our sisters who are
not members, we are praying
that we will hear you saying;!
"We mean to join your band
And in this great work to take a
hand."
And with God as our Leader
true
O, the things we'll dare and do.

does not quite agree with Carlyle'a
impression that his eyes were of a

SIXTY AEROPLANES IN FLOCK
French Attack on German Poaltion In
Forest Muat Hava Been Spec
tacular In the Extreme.
A thrilling account is given in the
French paper, Liberte, of a recent
allied raid with sixty aeroplanes
upon tie forest of Iloulthulst, which
ia situated about half way between
Dixmude and Ypres.
The forest is practically sheltered
from the effects of allied artillery,
and it has been converted into a reg
ular garrison district with barracks
full of troops and munitions depots
and the whole camp illuminated
with electric Tight.
Through air photographs the situ
ation of the main military buildings
was located exactly, and at 10 p. m.
the 60 French, Belgian and British
aeroplanes started out in clear moon
light. Immediately the aeroplanes
appeared there was great excitement
in the camp. All lights were extin
guished and anti-aircraft guns came
into action, but the airmen, greatly
assisted by the moonlight, dropped
four tons of high explosives and in
cendiary bombs upon the camps and
depots.
Some of the aircraft returned to
refill with shells no fewer than three
times in the course of the night.
By the light of the fires started
the airmen asserted they saw groups
of soldiers fleeing in great disorder
in the panic oaused by the continual
explosions in the ammunition depots.
By 11 :30 p. m. the entire forest and
the buildings it contained were i"
flames.
THE GAME BEGINS
"And what do you know about
Homer?"
"Lots. Didn't Duckey Dunn and
Patsy Sanks make three homers in
de very last game on de lot down de
street?"
GOING THE GAITS.
"Too bad about TVopsley. He's in
volved in a terrible scandal and I
thought all the time that he wore
the 'white flower of a blamelesr
life.'"
"That's all you know about Wops-
ley. As a matter of fact, he's been
wearing the red carnation of a caba
ret rounder."
DISCOURAGING SUBJECT.
"Dubson has my sympathy."
"Why so?"
"He never thinks of anybody but
himself." ,
"He should be censured for that."
"No. He must suffer. Imagine
spending a lifetime thinking about a
person of Dubson's caliber."
