Women's Missionary Un ion of the Hebron Association ~.\bout 35 1 ear ago the Lord btrrdened the hear of our 1adie for the need of a mi ionary union con– \i ting of \\ on1en from all the Hebro,n ..... churche . On ept. 25 1929. in the Fir t Bapti t C'hurch, LaGrange Ohio, the fir t meeting of the Women Mi - ionary Union wa held with Mrs. Frank Ea twood of Medina a acting Pre ident. What was their objective? The 1 de ired to promote fellow hip among the women of the union and to timulate mis ionary en,terpri e. \Vere they ucce sful? Thirty-five year later we can say a hearty ..Amen.. ! The meeting of the union are held each }·ear on the 2nd Tuesday of Ap!iil and _ ovember and also in the pring and fall in conjunction with the Annual and Semi-annual meetings of the Hebron A sociation. The s.peak– ers are representative of the variou mi sion boards and fields at home and abroad. (Approved) Some groups ha\ 1 e enjo)'ed our missionary speakers o much that the)- in turn procured them for their local meetings. On occa ion we have varied our de\ 1 otions b) u 1ng a panel of ladie or a kit depicting one particular mi ion field. telling of the native custom and problems facing the mi - 1onar1es. Another variation from the devotional speaker was a work shop held in 1961 to acquaint the ladies vlith new ideas for their group. Attractive di plays have been shown in many of the hostessing churches giving us fresh ideas. So }' OU see our meetings are educ~tional as well as jnspirational. Page 10, FEBRUARY, 1964 The early projects undertaken by our union were mall but appreciated such a : boxe of clothing and food for mi sionary familie at home and over ea . Our fir t big project was to aid the Cumberland Bible In- titute and Geiger Children's Home in Livingston, Tennessee, to which we ent money and gifts from the year 1935 until 1943. In recent years as our membership ha increa ed so have ,the offerings and size of our projects. In 1961 we purchased 100 pillows for Camp Patmo co ting approximately 150. Then our 1962-63 projeot, was to furnish Hilltop House with kitchen utensils. This project totaled nearly $200. with additional gifts donated by various other Hebron churches. Our mo t recent projeot which was accepted at our meeting the 12th of November, 1963 is to help Cedarville College secure books for their library. We understand this is one of 1he thing necessary before Cedarville can become an accredited school. Our aim is $300. We are trusting the Lord that when we meet for our ' 'Spring Rally" this goal will be realized. DECATUR FOUNDRY CO. INC . Divisio n of J. L. J ohnson & Sons Inc. 1700 N.
