Monday afternoon, it being the
time for the regular monthly Bible
study, which is always so interest
ing to all. The lesson was I and II
Peter and was led by Mrs. Tom Rey
nolds. We have been studying the
New Testament for about eighteen

Educational Trip.
The educational trip of a party of
the students of the Memphis Con
ference Female Institute of Jackson,
Tenn., Oct. 13, 14 and 15, to St
Louis was quite a success. The
party was chaperoned by President
and Mrs. Hawkins; and upon reach
ing St. Louis found that the Busi
ness Men's League of the city had
appointed one of their secretaries as
conductor for the crowd during two
days and evenings. Having thus as
guide a competent man familiar with
the parks, municipal buildings,
churches, schools and other points of
interest, made it possible for the pur
poses of the visit to be carried out
in every advantageous way. One
half day was spent upon sight-seeing
cars, with additional professional
guide to describe places of impor
tance with speaking trumpet. Among
the points visited were: The Cleve
land High School (first session just
started, said to be the "last word"
in school building and equipment) ;
Y. W. C. A. with its swimming pool,
night classes, etc.; Cathedral, to cost,
when completed, $5,000,000; Shaw's

Beware of the Enemy.
If all the enemies of the State car
ried red flags and .made treasonable
speeches on the street corners they
could easily be dealt with.
The" burglar with a club is less
dangerous than the fly with its in
visible microbe of deadly disease.
More sinister than anarchy in our
American life are the subtle, per
vasive forces of materialism and lr-
religion.
There is more of menace to the
State in the prevalent neglect or re
ligion than there is in all the forces
of organized vice.
The peril of perils to be feared is
the sapping of society's foundations,
which1 always have been and always
will be spiritual in their character.
The defender against the danger
is the Church. She is the State's
hope of stability. Her business is to
preserve the pillars and foundations
of our organized life.
The most direct way of saving and
serving the country is by loyalty to
religion.
A person is working persistently
against the subtlest enemies of our
common life when he share's in the
Church's work of preserving and
purifying the character of the peo
ple.
Only 26 men were at the church
Sunday. Seven of these were not
members. Where were you? Were
you doing good? Go to the Christian
Sunday school and church Sunday.
Card of Thanks.
On the morning of October 3, 1915,
a chair was made vacant in our home
by the call of death and T. J. Lati
mer answered the final roll call.
We want to say to the Mayor and
Aldermen for closing Ury street, and
to the physicians who gave him every
medical attention in their power and
who so patiently watched over him,
and to Mrs. Martin who nursed him
during his last illness and who was
at all times ready to administer to
his wants, and to the dear ones who
so carefully prepared his body and
placed it in the casket, and to dear
Brother J. L. Hudgins who has been
so thoughtful and kind to Mr. Lati
mer during his illness, visiting him
and ministering words of cheer and
when the end came responded to our
call to come and preside over the
funeral service and the reading of
the 23rd Psalms and 1 Sam 20-18,
and to Dr. F. M. McRee for his kind
remarks and to the old soldier com
rades God bless each of them for
their words of condolence, and to the
dear friends who rendered the beau
tiful music, and to our friends who
sent such beautiful floral offerings,
and to those who bore the casket to
the grave in Beech cemetery and
lowered it to the last resting place,
and to the ones who placed the
flowers upon the new made grave,
words cannot express our gratitude.
Each word, thought, act and tear
drop we cherish. We commend you
to an Heavenly Father who doeth
all things well, and when the end
comes that you may say as he did,
that it was all right, "I am ready
and willing to go."

Palmer-Morton.
On Thursday evening at 8 o'clock
Oct. 28, ,1915. at the M. E. Church
South, Miss Rose Neille Morton was
married to Mr. Joseph TJrady Palmer,
both of whom are well known fa
vorites of the Union City people. , On
this occasion the bride was richly at
tired in a suit of dark green velvet
with black beaver fur trimmings,
She carried a shower bouquet of
Bride's roses and lilies of the valley
The groom wore the conventional
black with gray gloves. , V,
Miss Corinne Morton, maid of hon
or, was handsomely gowned in a coat
costume of brown silk gaberdine
with fur trimmings and carried pink
chrysanthemums. Mrs. Chas. Pra-
ther, of Batesville, Ark., sister of the
bride, as matron of honor, was at
tired in a lovely costume of brown
velvet and charmeuse, and carried
pink chrysanthemums also. Little
Augusta Lyle Prather, clad in em
pire dress or crepe cie chine, was
ring bearer for the bride, carrying
the ring in a heart of a big pink
chrysanthemum. The bride, with her
maid of honor, preceded by the ma
tron of honor and the ring bearer,
passed to the altar and was joined
there by the groom and his grooms
man, Dr. Earl Kimzey, following
little Mary Virginia Miles, daintily
dressed as a little flower girl. The
decoration for the occasion was
beautifully done in pink chrysanthe
mums and soft draperies and aspara
gus. Potted plants of choice va
rieties were banked along the chan
cel and choir stand. The impressive
ring service was used. Rev. W. W.
Armstrong, coming from the pastor's
study, met the bridal party under an
archway built of chrysanthemums
and ferns. Over this archway was
arranged an artistic creation con
sisting of two floral hearts tied with
a love knot of tulle and filled . in
with pink candles.
The musical program was especi
ally attractive. Miss Cora Parmer,
in a costume of rose colored crepe
de chine, carrying pink chrysanthe
mums, sister or tne groom, gracious
ly presided at the piano. "Oh,
Promise Me" was sweetly rendered
by Miss Agnes Coble, who was
dressed in black lace over American
beauty silk, and carried pink chrys
anthemums, followed by Mr. Lea
Garth, who sang "I Love You." The
bridal party marched in to the
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, and out to the joyous strains
of Lohengrin's. During the cere
mony Miss Palmer softly played
Hearts and Flowers."
An informal reception was held at
the home of the bride for the bridal
party only. The happy couple left
the same evening for Nashville and
other Southern cities, but will be at
home with the bride's mother on
Division street after November 5.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs,
Augusta Morton and has been a val
ued member of the faculty of the
Union City schools for a number of
years. She is a young woman of
charming personality and accom
pnshments. The groom is the son
of the well known Houser Valley
citizen and farmer, Jno. D. Palmer,
graduate of the Union City Training
School, a young man of fine character
and qualifications, and indeed shares
with the bride in the popularity and
esteem of hosts of admiring friends.
The Commercial extends the
kindest congratulations.

Wednesday and attended an entertain
ment given last night by Miss Claire
Parks at the beautiful suburban home

"Everywoman."
Miss Mary Roberta Steadwell read
the play, "Everywoman," at the
Opera House last Thursday night to
delighted audience. Miss Stead
well held her listeners intensely in
terested thru the very last word and
portrayed "Everywoman" as she goes
in pursuit of love thru the world so
plainly that one could see her with
her companions, youth, beauty and
modesty. Miss Steadwell came here
under the auspices Of the Christian
Endeavor Society of the C. P,
Church.
We hope they will have a larger
attendance to the succeeding num
bers which the Christian Endeavor
Society will announce later. The
proceeds are used in the support of
the Christian Endeavor Home, which
is a splendid place for the young peo
ple to gather and enjoy themselves
under proper chaperonage.

Our Needs in the Missionary Work.
Needs in our work. Let each one
ask the question and listen to the
answer as it rings out from Heaven.
We need women who are willing to
serve our Heavenly Father every way
possible. Yes, willing to be ser
vants and serve others for Jesus'
sake. Willing to contribute to his
cause. We need women who are
praying, "Lord enlarge our capacity
for usefulness." We need altars
erected within every heart, built up
on a foundation or longsuffering
gentleness, goodness, temperance;
overlaid with meekness, Joy and
peace, illuminated with the spirit of
God's love, and focused upon the
heathen as they sit in darkness.
May it be the motto of every heart
thus equipped, "I'll go or send." We
need women to think of this work,
for if we think of the terminus of
every life that it is either Heaven or
hell, and that my loved ones are in
the. rush, and if I save mine, I must
save the crowd they are in. Surely
this would prompt us to do our best
to rescue all. We need Hannahs to
rock our cradles. We need that
faith that holds on until the break of
day or have the heathen for our pos
session. We need Ruths that will
glean in fields of other nations, who
truly say, "Thy people shall be my
people, where ye die I will die."
God's harvest is ready. The long
barred gates have given way on their
rusty hinges and our Saviour is lead
ing his trained workmen on to noble
achievements. We need women who
do not become discouraged at the
frozen mass of ignorance as it lies
dormant at every call, of the church,
but women alert, striving to bring
the heart of the Holy Spirit in con
tact with them and thereby melt
the indifference and gather the soul.
We need consecrated hands to work
for our Lord, feet to walk in his
footprints. One great n need is a
wider circulation of the Missionary
Voice, then a care ful perusal of its
pages, and by faith .follow those
faithful : missionaries as they wind
their lonely way into the humble
homes that are darkened by super
stition and barred in with poverty.
Look at the child who has no hope
to elevate soul or body, no religion
to prompt him to higher aspirations,
but spends its days bowing down to
idols. No fuel to warm the brown
bare feet, light clothing on the little
chilled form. Then go to the man
sion where wealth is displayed, and
still they grope in darkness, and are
ignorant of God's love. They have
no Bible to read, no songs of Zion
to sing. How helpless those souls
We need women wno ponder over
the decree that was given, "That
except ye repent ye shall all likewise
perish." Behold the vast possession
who are gliding down the stream of
life, unless they are held for our
Master they will go over the great
Niagara, and lost, world without end,
Rush on, sisters, "throw out the life
line their peril to share." We need
to have the children trained to work
for Jesus here in our sunny land of
America, that it is not all of life
to be clothed and fed with the tem
poral things, but that the soul is of
more consequence than the temporal
life. We need mothers who will
teach their mothers to save their
nickles and dimes for the purchasing
of souls, instead of gum and candy.
Think of the thousands of dollars
that American children spend an
nually for these two articles and
compare with what is given our
Lord's serving. Mothers are re
sponsible for this waste. Jesus said,
"Gather up the fragments that noth
ing be lost." Surely this injunction
was given to grown people and it is
to you and me to-day. We need
Esthers to pray and intercede, and at
the risk of their lives rush forward
and rescue souls for, whom Jesus
died. We need women, who wear
the armour all the time as did Gid
eon's host after the Lord had called
them down to tliree hundred, wo
men who will not sit in our churches
and drink of the precious stream of
life, with ease, until they have equip
ped an embassador for those beyond
the sea. Let us use the telescope of
love and see those anxious starving
souls as they crowd the wharf where
vessels land, calling as they did from
Macedonia, "Come over and help us,
we die." May we not only Bee. and
hear, but like Mary bring our ala
baster box, very precious, and break
it at the feet of Jesus, for he said.
Verily in as much as ye have dones
it unto one of the least of these, my
brethren, ye have done it unto me,"
