Friendship Social
The Friendship class of the First
Baptist Church entertained Tues-
day evening: with a social given in
the reception room of the church
with Mesdames Edward Blakey,
Hershel Foster, Vest and Virginia
Armstrong as co-hostesses.
Bowls of spring flowers and
white tapers in pink and white hoi
ders were placed at intervals
throughout the room.
Mrs. Hioward Hall, president, call
ed the meeting to order and pre-
sided over the business meeting.
After singing the song, "Send the
Light," Mrs. Thompson gave the
devotional.
Outstanding reports of the class
work for the month of February
was given by all officers. Instead
of the usual social hour, we had
a Bible study with Mrs. Will Ho-
gan teaching "Rightly Dividing the
Wiord of Truth," with members
reading the scripture from their
Bibles and Mrs. Hogan teaching a
great deal was learned. We are so
thankful for this one among us
who is so willing too teach the class
the Holy Bible.
Lovely salad plates were served
to 18 members and visitors. A
pleasant evening was enjoyed by
all. May we plan and build for the
future without hope of personal
gain. Bury all that is selfish within
us that our class may achieve and
attain.

that Mrs. Gusta Barfield Nance,
Assistant Professor of Compara-
tive Literature at SMU, is one of
the translators of the "History of
Mexican Litoratu v' a book re-
cently published by the University
Press in Dallas by Southern Metho
dist University.
Mrs. Nance, who was born and
reared in Atlanta, is the daughter
oif the late John and Gusta Cham-
blee Barfield and is a niece of Mr.

She has teen teaching at SMU for
the past fifteen years, and during
this time has also been a member
of the faculty of Hockaday. Mrs
Nance, who speaks seven languages
fluently, has taken the Hockaday

occasions.
The "History of Mexican Liter-
ature" is one of the best histor-
ies of Mexiqo that has ever been
written, according to Mr. Day, edi-
tor of the Southwest Review. The
author of this book, Gonzalez Pena
is one of the most important'writ-
ers in Mexico today.
Methodist W&C.S.
Met Monday, March 5 in the
educational building with Mrs. Roy
Davis presiding. Rev. Chester Har-
ris gave the concluding chapter of
our lessons on Ephesians. His vivid
description of the christian life be-
ing a conflict was most interesting
Brother Harris pointed out to us
that the Ephesians was Paul's mas
terpiece and it was written while
he was imprisoned in Rome.
Paul compared the combat of a
christian's life to. that of a war-
rior. To defeat the foe both must
have courage, strength, steadfast-
ness and preparation.
There wore 25 members present
March 12 the WSCS will meet in
circles, No. 1 with Mrs. T. P. Trice
No. 2 in the educational building
