CENTRALIA HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CENTRALIA LADIES’ AID The iSupper. under the auspices the Woman’s Association held Friday night, was well attended de­ spite the weather which was very cold, The ladies served a bountiful' and delicious supper to which all did justice, and later in the evening a fine program Of local talent was greatly enjoyed by all, The affair being in honor of the Silver Anniv­ ersary of the founding of thp society a historical sketch of the work of the organizatioii was read by the secretary. The sketch follows, The Ladies’ Aid of the Centralia Methodist church, as it was thexx known, was organized in 1903 with the late Mrs. W. R. Elliott as the President; Mrs, McNaughton as 1st Vice-Pres; Mrs. Rev. Hutton, 2nd Vice-Pres; Mrs, W. J, Parsons, Sec­ retary; Miss Krause, Ass’t-Sep’y; Mrs, C, Dulpan, Treasurer, and 15 members. In the early years of the Society, the money raised by social gatherings, dues, and so forth was used to keep the church in repair, buy new furnishings for the church, assist in paying the minister’s sal­ ary and for any other worthy cause which came to the notice of the or­ ganization, Many quilts were piec­ ed and quilted by the members and afterward turned over to the W. M. S. to be sold at their bazaars, the money being used for missionary purposes. Mrs. Elliott was presi­ dent for four years and Mrs. T. Neil followed in the office until 1912. In 1912 the late Mrs. J. Oke was elect­ ed president and .held that office during most of the war years, or un­ til 1917. During these years a great deal of the money raised by the Aid was donated to the Patriotic Society to be used to provide comforts for our boys overseas. I have no doubt that a great deal of knitting was done and. a great many comforts were made by the ladies themselves. Mrs. Albert Mitchell was the next presi­ dent and also served five years. From time to time, kitchen uten­ sils, knives and forks and dishes were bought for the church, new hymn and music books were pur­ chased foi’ the choir and pulpit. A considerable amount of "money was also donated to the Sunday School to assist in paying for. a piano. In 1918 $50.00 was donated to the school in Chengtu in which the Rev. Mr. Johns was actively engaged. After the burning of the church in 1921, the ladies of the Aid work­ ed long and diligently to raise money toward the building of church. In the summer some of the cars to Grand made cooking the members money was raised in every conceiv­ able way, which was, of course, le­ gitimate. The Ladies of the Society assisted by the ladies of the congre­ gation purchased the beautiful Mem­ orial Window for our fallen soldiers which adorns our fine new church. Most of the furnishings of the new church were paid for by the Lhdies’ Aid, new hymn books were placed in the pews and the Society paid for- new fixtures for the parsonage when it was wired for electricity. In 1922 Mrs. W. J. Parsons was elected president and served until 1927. During these years every ef­ fort was put forth to raise as much money as possible toward the Build­ ing Fund of the church. One win-, ter the ladies divided into groups ancl not only added quite a sum of money to the treasury by unique methods, but derived much pleasure from their work as well. Competi­ tion was keen, but no one felt badly if the other side won out in raising the most money, for it was all foi’ one cause. In October of 19 2 5- the largest amount ever raised at one time by the Society, was realized from the Hudson Concert held in the James St. church, Exeter. It was through the kindness of Mr. Nelson Hicks and the efforts of Mr. Andrew Hicks that the Hudson Male Quartette ancl Ladies’ Quartette came from Detroit to Exeter and put on one of the best concerts ever heard in this district, for the Ladies’ Aid of Centralia. Mr. Hicks would accept no remuneration ancl the entire expense to the Aid was a matter of some $126.00. while the profit was $525,00, which great­ ly helped our Society to donate larger payments to the Building Fund. About this time the ladies put aside $400.00 as a nucleus for the shed fund. Mrs. B. E. Hicks was elected to the president’s chair in 1927 and at the Annual meeting of this year was re-elected, but resigned and Mrs. W. J. Bowden was elected by acclama­ tion. As a comparative new-comer, from my perusal of the books and my brief experience as as member, I would say that this organization since its inception has been one ot usefulness and helpfulness to the whole community, and there is no doubt that it will continue to do so long into thb futui’e. Ottr officers during the past years have all been very efficient and tactful leaders and in all probability the officers of the future will be of the same fine character, and will lead this Society which has grown from about fifteen members to forty- nine members, on to greater1 and accomplishments. of on Declares War “Fniit-a-tives^—thaEnwmy of Dyspepsia ST* URSULE, QUE. <•« years I could not digest food.
