Dear Polks at home,Returned
home from Pt.Worth last night where I
finished my two-weeks engagement sinping in the
First Presbyteri n Church.
At two meals yesterday
(dinner and supper)wtth John Yancey and his family.
I aon't Know when I have enjoyed a day more talking oover
old times at Eliasville and many things pertainin0
to both our families. While I was there
I ran into many old friends of college days and other!
Tomorrow we are to have an Easter service in our
church with appropriate music and sermon. The decoratini
committee have collected a lot of flowers
already and are ready to arrange them for the service.
The church year is starting off much more hopefully
than the last one ended. Some how many of the
members were at outs about various thins
Put it
seems that every body is forgetting differences and
are acting real chummy toward each other and toward
to church, which is a Oood sign. I am emphasisin4
friendliness as a cure for many ills and the church
seems to appreciate it.
I know you will all be glad when your new pastor
_ comes to take chaite of the church there. I think it
is such a good thin -that your plan is to divide the
Sundays evenly with the Methodi-sfts.
Next Friday evening Mrs. union and I are going over
to the school in Oklahoma where Hilda is teacninp and
attend the closing exercises which will be held that
night. Hilda is truly glad that school is about out,
for she doesn't love to teach very much any way,especially
in such a neighborhood where sand is the chief
article of exchange. Hilda didn't come home this
week end
the first time she has missed since she
began teaching, and I a.b sure she is suffering from
homesickness right now. We surely miss her in the
church work for she does so much in every department
of the churn activities. She is going to make one
of the most capable workers I ever saw. Heretofore
her chief occupation has been to go to school, and has
never done very much church work. Fut now thaf she
has her education alone literary lines she finds no
trouble using it in a church way
in fact,is preparing
herself for church work by stidyinO the Pible systematically
and regularly.
Hope they are goinr on with the well and will soon
be where they can tell whether we have any oil or net.
Lots of love to all,
