90 -October 1934- The October meeting was held Oct. 16, 1934, with Mrs. J. S. Stoaks. The devotions were read by Mrs. J. W. Stewart, who read the 23rd psalm, analyzing the psalm into three divisions, promise of a happy life, promise of a happy death, and promise of a happy eternity. The first place where we make preparations for these gifts is in the home. Little Frances Bennett sang a song about little children in the home loving each other as Jesus loves them, so that the home is a lovely place. Prayer was by Mrs. Stoaks and Mrs. Hamilton, giving thanks for homes where the love of Christ reigns and the little children are lovely. Minutes of the preceeding meeting were corrected but no action taken yet as to accepting. Miss Butler shrank from giving any account of her expenses, or being reimbursed, but upon pressure being brought to bear, the following expenses were ascertained, and reimbursement allowed: R. R. fare 56c each way, total $1.12; meal 25c; street car fares 34c; altogether $1.71, one dollar and seventy one cents. Miss Bailey made a motion which was seconded by Mrs. Hamilton, that we give Miss Butler $1.75; carried. The nominating committee was not ready to report. Mrs. German asked that all jars [?] come before next meeting, before cold weather. image-newspaper clipping attached to the left side of the page.
