BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES
(By Mrs. Lewis Fenter)
Last Thursday afternoon the
“Cheerful Helpers” Sunday school
.class met with their teacher, Mrs.
Fenter, for their regular class meet-
ing Having come out losers in a
‘contest with the Junior boys, they are
planning a delightful social to be
given the winners some time next
week, at the tabernacle. Fruit punch
and wafers were served as refresh-
ments.
Sunday was a great day at the
Tabernacle. On account of the in-
clement weather, the crowd was not
as large as usual, but much interest
4ras manifested. As the morning ser-
vice had been set aside as Ordination
Service, the church proceeded to or-
dain as a deacon R. L. Stokes. The
ordination sermon was delivered by
Rev. E D. Hamilton, after which the
charge, to the church and deacon,
was given by Rev. G. R. Naylor and
the ordination prayer by J. L. Fen-
ter. We feel that Mr. Stokes pos-
sesses the qualities to “Show himself
approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed.”
The Senior B, Y. P. U. met Sunday
evening at 7:30, with the class room
crowded. Miss Anita O’Neal was
leader for the lesson, the subject be-
ing, “Each Counting the Other Bet-
ter.’’ Mrs. Kelley and Orion Standi-
fer were received as new members.
Rev. Naylor gave so many appreciat-
ed words of encouragement and also
expressed his gratitude to God for en-
abling the young people of our
church to enjoy such rich opportu-
nities of training for service, that
were an unknown factor in the lives
of the passing generation.
Rev. Naylor delivered a splendid
sermon at 8:30. There were two
additions to the church.
-O—
Our young minister, Mr. John
Kelley, who is just home from the
Oklahoma Baptist University at
Shawnee, will have charge of the
morning services at Hebron Sunday.
1 ■ O—-—
The W. B. M. S. met Wednesday
general business meeting with Mrs.
Standifer. There were eighteen mem-
bers present. After a short busi-
ness session, Mrs. W. E. Corn led
the lesson on the book of Ruth.
Thirty-three auestions had beer, pre-
pared, and sides were chosen in old
fashioned spelling match style, with
Mrs. Shore and Mrs. Higgins as
captainffi Mbs. Shore’s side were
winner seven to one. The Society
packed a box of home ?rown flowers
which were sent to Mrs. .1. W Gray
at Oklahoma City. The East District
will meet next wees with Mrs W.
E. Corn on North Main and the West
District with Mrs. A. L Thurmond.
The hostess assisted by Mrs. Hill serv-
ed lovely refreshments of fruit punch
and cake.
Don’t forget the Tegular services
Sunday. More seats will be placed
tinder the tabernacle before the re-
vival. There’s one for~you, if you
will only use it.

MICHELIN
has overcome the commonest
causes of tire trouble
NON-PARALLEL WHEELS
When wheels are not parallel (a com-
mon fault, especially of front wheels)
tires must be dragged over the ground,
so to speak, Bince they revolve at an
angle to the direction in which the car
is traveling.
Ordinary tires wear away rapidly as a
result of such abuse, but Michelins stand
up so long that only carelessness can ac-
count for failure to detect the trouble
before the tire is vitally affected. This
is due to the greater toughness, thickness
and breadth of ' the' Michelin Tread.
Come in ^nd compare Michelins with
other tires in these important points.
