The 19th annual session of the Woman’s Missionary Union of the Roanoke Association of the Baptist Church will begin tomorrow at 10:30 o’clock at the Memorial Baptist Church, with the missionary societies hostesses to the association. This is the first time in eight years that the local church has entertained the union, and it expects at least 400 to 500 guests.
Mrs. C.T. Plybon will lead the morning devotional, after which Mrs. John D. Biggs Jr. will make the address of welcome, which will be responded to by Mrs. J.M. Wheless of Farmville. Reports will be made by the leaders of the various missionary organizations of the associations. They are Miss Nina Collins, Nashville; Mrs. C.V. Austin, Wilson; Miss Pearl Harris, Weldon; Mrs. A.C. Liverman, Scotland Neck; Mrs. L.A. Stroud, Greenville; and Mrs. Leon T. Vaughan of Nashville.
A delicious lunch of barbecue and other delicacies will be served at 1 o’clock to the visitors, which will be followed by a short social period before the afternoon program begins.
Devotional will be conducted by Mrs. W.R. White of Plymouth, and then the county leaders, Mrs. E.B. Beasley of Fountain, Mrs. I.L. Yearby of Tarboro, Mrs. J.D. Biggs Jr. of Williamston, Mrs. T.M. Jenkins of Rosemary, Mrs. Will Rhodes of Wilson, and Mrs. C.B. Smith of Whitakers will be heard.
They will be followed by Miss Sara Funderburke of Kong Moon, China, who is a missionary to that country and who will make a missionary address. Miss Funderburke is a very noted worker among the Chinese and her address is expected to be a shining light in the meeting.
