chairing the meeting. The
Easter Sunrise Service and
Breakfast was evaluated and
all the girls were pleased and
thankful for the co-'
operation, support and
outcome.
Mrs. R. Harloff leader, In
her message compared the
members' good deeds, hard
work and kindness to an
apple.
If the seeds from an apple
were planted, each would
'grow hundreds of apples and
the process would go on and
on. It is also this way with
other things, including our

apple as well, they have in
them, seeds to produce an
unlimited amount of kind-

grow.
Continuing with the study
of Proverbs, Melissa had for
her topic "M - Many
blessings are hidden and
disguised, but when revealed
are highly prized."
She told of a boy who was
given a plateful of sand and
the job of finding the iron in
it. Unable to see or feel it, the
teacher finally showed him
how, with a magnet, the
hard -to -find particles were
drawn out. Melissa com-
