IT WAS INDEED a clear and beautiful day for Recorder Women Sponsors meeting the past Saturday for their big fall round-up at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Paul A. Batties. Those shown in the picture are (from

The Recorder Women Sponsors held their opening fall inspirational meeting of the season the past weekend at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Paul A. Batties with the director of Sponsors, Mrs. Batties, serving as hostess for this meeting and with the 47 active members of Recorder Women Sponsors assisting the chairman of Sponsors, Mrs. Fred Perdue, and the chairman of the luncheon, Mrs.

Floyd Wilson.

Distinguished o u t-o f-t own guests who were welcomed by The Sponsors were Dr. and Mrs. E. B. Hicks of Topeka, Kansas, who were in the city as guests of Mrs. Edna Martin, executive director of The East Side Christian Center. Dr. Hicks serves as national program associate of “inner city” programs for The American Baptist Convention with headquarters in Valley

Forge, Pennsylvania.

Following a delightful luncheon, the meeting was called to order by the chairman, Mrs. Perdue. The period of meditation was conducted by the director, Mrs. Batties, assisted by Miss Ollie Terry, an accomplished

and talented pianist.

This brief period of devotion was followed by the introduction of distinguished speaker. Rev. R. T. Andrews, the minister of Greater Mount Zion baptist Church, by Mrs. Martin, a Sponsor, an outstanding community leader, and a member of Mount Zion Baptist Church. The Sponsors, who are all church women reflecting many denominations of the Protestant churches throughout the city, were very much inspired by Rev. Andrews’ dynamic and challenging message to them on the subject of “Christian Service.” Rev. Andrews gave a profound interpretation of what is involved in Christian Service, the spiritual humility which is an indispensable approach to Christian Service. He then discussed this vital subject from four dimensions: How we serve? When we serve ? Where we serve? and the cost of Chris-

tian Service.
