HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE EAST POINT BAPTIST CHURCH the Society is largely due and to Rev. A. A. MacLeod and his wife— Christy Stewart , whose labors on the Telugu field were signally blessed. In these forty years nearly $1,700 dollars were collected for Foreign Missions. In July, 1914, Miss Martha Clark , missionary to India, visited the Society. Dressed in Indian costume, she presented a picturesque ap¬ pearance. She held the Society in rapt attention as she told the story of conditions in India. The years 1914-1918 were trying ones to the Society. The World War was raging and our young men were being enlisted and sent to the front; missionaries were in sore straits. During this period the annual union meetings with the sisters of the Christian Church became estab¬ lished to the mutual advantage of both. During 1919 the Society studied Mrs. Churchill 's "Letters from India." Early in 1920 Miss Anna Scott , the first secretary of the So¬ ciety, was called Home. She was the first president of the Baby Band . The efforts of 1920 were largely directed in connection with the ladies of the Christian Church towards furnishing the new parsonage. Two meetings of 1921 are of special interest—the May meeting at the parsonage in union with the sisters of the Christian Church and the August meeting when Rev. and Mrs. Mellick were present and inspired us with words of cheer. Finally, to tell of all the efforts of the past fifty years—the success¬ es, the self-denial, the labor in preparing "boxes" for the Foreign Field, would require more time and attention than we can give, but a register of it all is kept above. The same loving Lord who spoke His message to those thirteen women in 1871 is still with us with his benediction while we celebrate our Golden Jubilee.
