A Rowing Machine, Par- allel bars, and other things of that nature. This will keep our boys in condition during the long winter months. In addition to that, our good friend Dr. UW.

Jefferson was a land surveyor, and said to have | considerable strength. He also became justice o% the peace and was representive the house of Burgosse Jefferson entered college at William and Mary, when he was a very bright scholar. In appearance Jefferson was very m attractive. Much of his life was spent out-of-dpog. When he jnished college he re- turned home and tock up the study of law. In the year of 1767, he was ad- mitted to the bar. He became a legal favorite and made large sums of money. Jeiferson’s great work while in congress was in interest of the Declaration of Independence. It was Jefferson who drew it up, but Adams who got it signed. In 1779 he was elected Governor of Virginia. He held this post through the darkest days of the re- volution. At the close of the war Jefferson gave up his office as Gover- 10r. _In Nov. 1783, Jefferson again took his seat in congress. The following May he was appointed Minister of France. During Washington’s admin- stration and was appointed secretary of State.

One of the things Jefferson tried to do during his administration was to put a stop to the slave trade. The embargo act was passed while he was in the Chair. Jefferson’s term was expired March 4, 1809, and three days before the embargo act" was repealed. Jefferson was very fond of books and on 1809 he founded the Uni- versity of Virginia. He died at his home in Montice!lo July 4, 1826 ee —P.0.H.——— : W e€ were slowly starving to death,” said the famous explorer at the board- ing house table, “but we eut up our boots and made soup of them, and thus sustained life.” “Hush, hush!

Mr. Grier’s supervision, There are usually in this department thout six They learn something about eleetrie wiring, thout handling a boiler and become all in all, pretty u seful eiti- boys. -ens. Painting is one other trade that they became pretty pro- cient at, and whenevr they leave the orphanage they have no liffieulty i usecuring work to enable them to make a fairly de- cent living for themselves. a The work of this department is aood deal like that of a loctor, they never knew when they start out in the morning just what they are going to he working at. It may bea eall from the ‘aundry to fiw a belt, it may bea motor in the printing office out if commission, or it may be one of our deep well pumps that has yone fluey and needs to be yanked out of the ground and overhaul- ed, Sometimes after the day's work is aver and everybody is ap- ynarently through for the day there will come a storm and then the lights go off, so this gang with Mr. Grier have to loeate the ‘rouble and yet it fived. Our fire-fighting apparatus is all in charge of this department also. There's three hundred feet fire hose located on the of the road. On the east side ‘here is a chemical to wheels for emergency use. Each ot the large buildings eith standard fire extinguishers, The inspection and leepius in condition of this equipment is in the hands of the Shop Gana, a or west side nh on * } tre equipped To give you some idea of the amount of territory that this group has to cover, there are four hundred openings in our water work system.

For instance, when Lees Cottage was remodelled, the change in the heating system there and the wiring of this building was done by this group. Also Howard Cottage. All of the plumbing for the new school building was installed also by this group. When the manse was built, the plumbing was installed there by this group. The heating and wiring being d ene by contract. Mr. Grier, the head of this department, in addition to being a most useful citi- zen as the head ofthis department for six days in the week with an ear open fer trouble, on the Seventh is also Sunday School Super- intendent and a member of the Session of Little Joe’s Church. All in all a most valuable member of our community. Coming back to the this group is called the Shep Gang; a good many years ago they had a shop to keep their tools in and to do their work. This was Alexander Building. It en- abled them to really accomplish a great deal with much more sat- isfaction and profit than now, because they had this building with certain machines in it to enable them to move efficiently do their work. Now, Alexander Building has been remodelled into som sort of a dormitory ond the Shop Gang should be calied the “Or- phan Gany,” because they have to keep part of their tools in one building and part in another, and they are really the Gang with- outa shop. This is one of the things we most earnestly hope will be remedied this year. That a dormitory will be built to relieve the temporary situation of Alexander, so that this building ean go back to its original use as a shop. readson If this was again a shop, there ceuld be installed in it, wood- working machinery for Mr. Cavin’s Campus Gang, and metal working machinery, so that hundreds of our minor yr pair jobs could be done rather than sent to town. These boys could not only do that, but could make numbers of things that we do with- out or have to buy, and what is even more important, while they are doing this they would be learning a most valuable trade, that would even better fit them for becoming useful citizens after leav- ing here. In conclusion we will say that Mr. Grier’s gang isa They fulfill a most useful purpose here. Not only for the fasti tution, but for themselves. We hope the day will soon come when this will even be better by improved equipment for their use The Editor And His “Bunch” sood one. sass 4 ‘ PPE Ne es EE SB at OS RE Bx POR LOTR) Bede ease i ander Springs Phanage by the General campus at looking State vides Two “matrons” of Alex- cottage, ope Orphanage, heir family of forty boys.

Mr. O’Keily comments on the improvements in his yard, due to our efforts. (Thanks.) Several steeple-jacks here are look- ing for openings in the city. Have had plenty of experience in pruning trees.

Our grade is composed of twenty one girls and thirteen boys. You see we have almost twice as many girls | as boys that is why so many more of the girls get their names on the Honor Roll and Merit Roll than the boys. We go to school in the afternoons | from one o'clock to five. It is pretty hard sometimes when we have diffie- ult lessons not to go to sleep or te get into mischief, for a day is very long when you work or play ali the morning. Then eat a hearty dinner and sit in the school room from one o'clock to five in the afternoon, but we like it and get lots of real pleas- ure from our work, if fractions de get in a jumble sometimes and the; denominator gets where the numera- tor should be. Geograpy is the hardest study for us as agrade but we like history about Washington and Lincointon this month. We had lots of fun on Valentine Day too. We are glad the good oid St. loved children so well. We love to think of the beautiful life he lived When we celebrate his birthday. We are making a nature chart in our class room. Each boy and girl studies the life of some tree, plant or tlower and tells about it. We are studying bird life, too, and how to protect the song bird. We love our school and our Home and would be giad to have you to visit us sometime. Grammar School Starts Practice For The Basket ball Team Thirty-five girls reported to the coach for the team. The Grammar school girls have been practicing for three weeks daily. The girls are to be drilled in the fundamentals of the game. A number of inter-class games will be played during the sea- son. At the end of the season there will be a game to determine the champion of the grammar school and high school. Spring Football Practice for “Flea- bites” They say that thte Fleas bite har- der in the warm weather; so the young Midgets will probably receive about three weeks of extensive prac- tice in the fundamentals so that their strength will be in good shape for the next season. Only a limited number of the most promising boys will be asked to come out for this training. By having this training now they will be in bette: shape to play next year. ———P.0.H.——_— ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Ge t t o Everybody is having a time guess- ing who the valentines are from.

NEW PATH TO SLEEP RESTS IN TEN WORDS New Haven, Conn., Dec. 29.—(AP) —Suggestion as a path to sleep, ‘alm and restful, may often be found ‘n ten words, each to be thought of in its full meaning, says Rev. Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of Yale Divinity school. He has used the formula himself and through it many imes had ended wakefulness, Each word should be thought of slowly and separately until restless- ness disappears and the subject is mentally in harmony with the mean- ‘ng of these words which, in order, are: quietly, easily, restfully, trust- fully, patiently, serenely, peacefully, Joyously, courageously, confidently. MESSENGER PAGE THREE ¥ j [ { isto. i THE LIFE OF JAMES MADISON (History Composition by Walter Beattie.) James Madison, the fourth presi dent, was born at Port Conway, Va. of a family of twelve children. His father was well-to-do, and able to give his children a good education. Mad- ison entered Princeton College and ir 1772, he graduated. He was a bril- liant scholar. Madison's first political experienc: was in 1774 when he was appointed for the Committee of Safety in his county. Two years later he was a delegate to the Virginia State Con- vention. At this time he assisted in framing a State Constitution. Madison was sent by Virginia as a delegate to the Continental Con- gress in 1780, He impressed many the leaders here with his personality. Madison's work in the Virginia legislature led to the Annapolis Con- vention and to the Convention in Philadelphia, at which the Constitu- tion of the United States was framed, After it was framed, Madison had a hard time inducing the Virginia Con vention to ratify it, but he succeeded. Despite the opposition of Patrick Henry, Madison was elected a mem- ver of the House of Representatives from Virginia. Here he was a lead- er. He offered twelve amendments to the Convention of which ten were a dopted. These amendments contain- <d the Bill of Rights. After Washington's presidency, Madison also retired from publie life for a time. In 1779, he was again ‘lected to the Virginia legislature. When Thomas Jefferson became president, he selected Madison as his ison held through both terms of Jeff- ‘rson. Madison was nominated for the residency by the Republicans in 1808 de was elected by a great majority. in 1812 he was reelected. During Madison’s administration ‘he War of 1812 was fought. This war was brought mainly on because ff the conduct of the English Navy owards the United States ships. As Madison was no soldier, his con- luct of the war was not very good. However, the Americans won the war ind made their nation to be recog- aized more than formerly. After as econd administration, ‘etired to his estate at Montpelier, Va., where he lived among many friends. On June 28,1836, with the assurance that his work had _ been well done, James Madison passed qui- etly into the other World. P.O.H. JAMES MONROE Composition by Walter Fraley James Monroe, the fifth president. | was born in ‘Westmoreland County, Va., April 28, 1758. Monroe spent all his boyhood at! rome. He was prepared for college, ind he entered that of William and Mary. While he was at College, the Revolutionary War broke out. A large number of students and several members of the faculty en- listed in the service, and young Mon- ‘oe, then eighteen, enlisted with them In the war, Monroe proved to be a ‘Srave and valiant leader. He con lucted himself admirably at Trenton Brandywine and Monmouth. Sumter and Monroe captured Hessian battery at Trenton, and saved the lives of many Americans During this exploit he was wounded n the shoulder but recovered. In 1778, he was on the staff of Lord Stirling. Here he received the ompliments of Washington for his valiant services. He was even re- ommended for a commission in the State troops of Virginia by Washing ton, but was not successful. In 1782, Monroe entered upon his political career by being elected to the Virginia Assembly. Three time he was chosen to the Congress of th ‘onfederation, where despite his youth he showed wonderfu'’ earnest. j vess and ability. | When Grayson died, Monroe wa lected by the legislature to take place in the Senate. He remane:l | vere from December 6, 1790 to May, 1794, when he was made an envoy to France. When he returned home his stat» igain elected him to the State As sembly. He was almost chosen for governor but almost immediate Madison appointed him Secretary o* State. He held this office from 1811 to 1817, also acting as Secretary of War in 1814-15. In 1816 he was elected president. And his administration was one of the most interesting in our history. During his administration, Florida was purchased from Spain and fou states were admitted into the Union. Monroe was elected for a second (History incidents during this term was the visit made by Lafayette to this coun- try. The American Nation regarded him as a nobleman and friend of Washington's.

P.O.H COMPOSITION ON HISTORY OF UNITED STATES (By Walter W. Fraley) In the early times people thought that the world was square and that you could come to the end ef it if you traveled long enough. There were some who were more advanced in the study of the world came to the con- lusion that it was round. Christopher Columbus was one who thought it was round. He, after mans lisappointments, managed to outfit 1 few ships. He then made wonder ul discoveries and after his exploits thers set out to discover new land. n this way the mainland of North America was discovered. When these wonderful discoveries were made many of the nations com menced to colonize the new land. England was the foremost nation in colonization. In this manner the con- tinent of North America became civy- ilized, The aboriginees Indians, The early settlers che Indians. They lived in log cabins and cleaned the land for cultivation. Gradually villages, crude at first but more convenient in later days began to spring up. The pilgrims came brought the churches and teachers. Little by little ation crept up to the eivil- ization back in the mother continent. rhe country was divided into states and governments were set up. These f course were made by the English ruler and governors were appointed by him. A king ascended the English throre who would not arbitrate with the colo- lists. He put taxes on almost every form of import or export. The col- mist refused to pay the tax and it finally led to the revolution. The colonists rallied to the call for troops and many great leaders sprang up during the revolution. The col- onists gained their independence and set up a republic. George Washington who was the ommander in chief of the American army during the revolution was made president of the republic. He was as great a president as he was a com- mander. The new republic progressed fast and was ‘scon recognized among the foreign nations as a great power New states were added to the original ‘hirteen and the government became more and more on a larger scale. The western part of America were had to live like of the country was more of a farming section while the north was a manufacturing sec- tion. The south was made up of biz | plantations and farming lands. Little by little the country has ad vanced and presidents began to stack up on the file. Outside of the civil war which had to be fought to settle the question of slavery in the United States has had a brilliant period of srowth and expansion. -— P.O.H. - Miscellaneous Support F. P.

I've been trying all lay and I havn’t seen a thing. The lady w.th the lavender scarf hasn’t passed here and I must do a good | deed for one.” |these were the thoughts that pas- lsed through the young scout’s mind as he stood on the corner of a down town street, waiting for an old lady whom he had been helping home every day. : “T wonder what’s wrong with Miss Lavender. I think I will go to her little house and see.” Thus having been decided, Ralph started for home feeling as if a great ‘ad had been lifted from his mind While eating dinner, his sister and several of their friends called out 70 him to come to the movies with them, but he refused. After dinner he studied his lessons and started out for Miss Lavender’s home. She lived in a very old aristo- cratic looking house. She lived on a small income which her aunt had left her. And spent most of her time growing flowers. As Ralph ran up the walk, he seemed to realize that something was wrong for even the flowers had an expression of sadness. After ringing the bell, he was us- hered into the house by a faithful little maid who told him that “Missy” was sick with a severe cold, but that he could see her if he would be quiet. After their friendly salutations ‘or they had learned to like each oth- i j2r—Railph asked if she would please ‘tell him the history of this beautiful | searf. It took no pleading because the uistory brought back the pleasant nemories that caused Miss Lavender o forget the terrible cold. “My great Aunt Marjorie was a very lively little woman, who traveled 1 good deal” said Miss Lavender. ‘One summer while on a trip around she world, she fell in love with an Sgyptian merchant and they decided -o get maried in the fall. Shortly ifter their marriage, he died and left mly this house, this scarf and a ‘mall income. That is why I like it so well; it is very expensive, but I ike to wear it.” After hearing of several other an- estors, Ralph departed, leaving Miss Lavender feeling much better and ‘eeling as if he hadn’t missed any ching by not going to movies.

To Our Southern Farm Boys:— I spent two years of my boyhood working on the farm. At that time I thought I was very much abused and being forced to do more work than I should, but I look back now and realize that I can attribute a great deal of my football success to the hard work that I did upon the farm. To be a sucessful athlete, you must work hard the entlre year. Out-of- door work is always the best. You eannot become a great athlete by training only two or three months a year. My suggestion to boys, if you de- sire to improve physically, is to do all the work on the farm that you can. It will build you physically faster than anything else in the world. Cleanliness is a very important factor. Good habits are essential. You cannot smoke cigarettes or drink and expect to succeed as an athlete, so just forget the smoking and drinking and do a lot cf work out doors, and you wil always be happy at the results you obtain. You will find that when you are physically fit you are better equipped for the men- tal struggles you will have in future years in both busines and farm life — “RED” GRANGE. “Red” Grange, one of the best lov- ed football heroes America has pro- duced, worked his way through col- lege, paying part of his expenses by driving an ice wagon and delivering ice durng his summer vacations. He advice to keep always physically fit has constistantly followed his own and do out-of-door wor the year round. —P.O.H. - The number of applications coming to us, instead of showing a decrease, show an increase. The number of children being cared for here is lar- ger now than ever before. Letters Awarded One of the most delightful enter- tainments we have had in a number of days was a banquet given to the Letter Athletes of our various teams by the Domestic Science Department. There were as guests, fourteen foot- ball players, six basketball players, Four of the wrestling tea m, however, hap- pened to be football players. There were as special guests, Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Little Joe’s Church, Mr. T. L. O’Kelley, School Superint- endent and head basketball coach; Mr. Ralph MeMillan, football, track and basketbali coach; Mr. Tresco Johnson, wrestling and boxing coach; and Mr. Bohannon, Senoir at David- son College, winner of this years Norris Trophy, and Mr. J. B. John- ston, general roust-about. In addition to the awarding of the letters to the members of the teams, there were short and inspiring talks by the retiring and newly elected ‘apiains, and by the other guests. The meal and the service of the Domestie Science Class was up to their usual standard -of excellence, making the oceasion one long to be remembered. and six of the wrestling team. P02 Gi: - . The Spotlight We are this year getting out. the fourth edition of the Spotlight. In 1924 we made our first venture in get- ting out a High School Annual. It was a very modest little book, but we ire proud of it. There was an im- provement made in 1925 a much fur- shere improvement in 1926; and from present in dications, the 1927 Annual will eclipse them all. We would be disappointed were this not the case. Not only do we have the experience of former years to heip us, but the Editorial Staff of this particular number have been most entergetic in getting up this early and had most of the material up by the time the former Staff were just commencing this work. The former Editorial Statf have blazed the trail and our present Staff have pro- fated by their example. The business nanagers have been particularly busy and have secured a very large num- ber of advertisements. The financ- ‘ng of this book are safe. They will, no doubt, turn! over the account to the 1928 Staff with a comfortable balance ‘o their credit. All of whichis most pleasant and unusual in this day of shortages. We are publishing in this issue, with pride, a picture of this Staff. May succeeding classes be as fortun- ate in the selection of the members for this work. This particular crowd will make it even harder for future Spot-Lights to continue to improve, .O.H, MERIT ROLL FOR MARCH 1927 FIRST GRADE— Nellie Johnson, Cleo Sluder, Hattie Michael, Lugene White.

SENGER YTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME, vor rue INFORMATION APRIL, 1927 OF ITS FRIENDS No. Seven. Thrift Letters For the past several years we haye had a Thrift Number of t} ‘lessen- ger in January or February. [y this issue are published the best paper submitted suggesting chang, that would be a saving to the operation of the institution or to individuals. This winter we gave over our winter num- bers of the Messenger to the Steward- ship Committee, and are having our Thrift Number in May. It is very well that this change was made for one year at least, xs we no- ticed a rather preponderance of sug- gestions for saving soap and water during the winter months. Quite a number of the smaller boys could not see the necessity of using water at all in cold weather, and they could see visions of immense savings along this line. With the weather warm, and the swimming pool commencing to look attractive, their minds may get busy on other matters that might be a saving. The prizes for the best letters hayo been given by Mr. Rufus M. Johnston of Charlotte, and he is again w ritings us, increasing his liberal offer of prizes to extend further than the firs‘ three best papers. At his suggestion, to which we heartily agree, the prizes will be as follows: First prize, $7.00; Second prize, $5.00; Third prize, $3.00, and $1.00 each for ten honorable mention. This will assure thirteen winners in this particular contest. Papers may be submitted on any phase of the orphanage work. They must contain suggestions for the more economical handling of any de- partment of our work. Either the Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry, Sew- ‘ing Room, Dairy, Farm, Truck Farm, Infirmary, or any Cottage. In former contests, quite a num- ber would point out a waste, without suggesting a remedy. Of course, this is not of very great value. For instance, one boy, last year, said in his letter, “You ought not to use your shirt for making kite tails,” but did not suggest how to prevent the boys from doing that. Of course, it is some value to point out a waste, but is » >; t valuable in pointing out a waste to sugest a work- able remedy. We have so many departments here everyone of which involves the spend- ing of money that it gives every stu- dent a particularly wide range for his or her idea. We are looking forward this year for the most interesting and helpful of all the letters we have so far received. —P.0.P.—_—. Last year at this time the Synod was twenty cents per member behind. A total of fifteen thousand dollars. This was not wiped out, but we start- ed with this deficit. There has been added to it this year, thirty-six cents per member, as this table shows. About twenty-five thousand dollars. The year before last there was a slight deficit.

A careful anal- ysis sho vs that Barium was better shooting and abetter passing team as well as a better guarding team than the average of her opponents. In fact with the exception of the Raleigh Charlotte and Union Grove teams the Barium ,team seemed to far surpass any team that they played against. The weak points of the team as revealed by a contest with the teams mentioned above appear to have been an inability to pivot or dribble andan inability to shoot for the basket unless under the goal. the most of cases was not a handicap but only a safety measure but proved a disadvantage with a team equally as good as this one. Looking at the indivdual players we find that McPherson was the most successful at forward with 169 points to her credit. Hall next with 63; Roderick with 62; MePhail with 14; Freeman, 4; Simmons, 3; Torrence, 2; Jackins, 2. All the above except the first three only played in a few games and then for only short periods of time.

For two hours without moving from the piano she | performed her part most effectively | and beautifully. We all thank them |for a most pleasant evening. On Saturday night we had our ; usual picture show, and at the end of this show, thirty minutes of unalloyed | pleasure in hearing a splendid ¢olored male quartett sing.

He approved of the “Spoils System” and used it extensively dur- ing his administration. During his first term he gained such popularity with the masses that he was elected to a second term by an overwhelm- try seemed to be ina prosperous con- dition. The most important event of Jackson's term came in 1832, when the “Protective Tariff’ was passed. In 1837, Jackson went back to his home in Tennessee and lived with his friends until he passed quietly into sternity. og WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON (By Mary S. Craig.) William Henry Harrison was born in Berkeley, Virginia, February 9, 1773. His father, a planter, was an ntimate friend of George Washing- ton. Harrison was sent to the best school the country could afford. He graduated at Hampden-Sidney Col- lege and was one of the best in his lass. Just as Harrison began to study medicine, the trouble with the Ind- ans commenced, so he joined the ar- my. After much brave fighting he was made captain. When Harrison was made _ secre- ary of the land northeast of Ohio: the two warriors, Shawnee and Te- away from the territory. Tecumseh had always professed to be a friend the whites and came to the Gov- ernor to discuss war. Meanwhile the Indians began des- troying the homes and lives of the whites. Harrison upon orders, set out with his army for Tippecanoe, This was a great battle in which Har- rison became a hero. During the second war with Eng- and, Harrison drove the British into Canada ,and a fight took place on the Thames. In 1824 he was sent to the ’, S. Senate and later appointed min- ster to the Republic of Columbia in South America. In 1836, Harrison's name was put up for the Presidency, but Van Buren won. The following year there was a financial crash, and with Van Buren term ended, they determined on a ‘hange. There was an exciting race for the presidency, which Harrison won with Tyler as Vice-President. At this time Harrison was sixty-eight years old. In less than a month he was taken with a severe illness and never re- covered. He died April 4, 1841 and was buried at his home in North Bend, Dhio. P.O.H. JAMES K. POLK (By Walter Beattie) James Knox Polk, the eleventh pres- ‘dent of the United States, was born in Mecklenbury County, N. C., Nov- ember 2, 1795. His father, a pros- verous farmer, moved to Tennessee when James was only eleven. There the boy was given the best schooling available. He was prepared for col- lege by a private tutor, and entered the University of North Carolina at the age of twenty. Here he studied law and was soon admitted to the bar. Polk had a gratifying success from the start. He won election to the State Legislature, and later to Con- tress. In Congress he served as Speaker of the House from 1835-1839. Polk was elected governor of Tenn. ‘n 1839, but was defeated in the election of 1841. In his campaigns ‘or governor, he was opposed to high tarif. He also opposed the Abolit- ‘onist movement, for he thought that it was undermining the Unity of the Nation. However he was no pro- slavery man. In 1844, Polk received the Dem- ocratic nomination for President. He was respected for his ability and high character. Henry Clay opposed him, and in the election, Polk won by a majority of 175 electoral votes. The first important act under Polk’s administration was the admission of Texas as a state in 1845. This led ‘o trouble with Mexico over the boundaries of Texas. War was dec- lared, and after a series of victories, a treaty of peace was signed. About this time, the Oregon quest- ‘on arose. Polk desired to have it settled peacefully with England. He succeeded in doing this and the forty- nineth parallel was settled on as the boundary line. In the sa me year (1846) that the Oregon question was settled, Congress passed a tariff bill which reestablished the independent treasury system. Among the most important events of Polk's administration were the ad- mission of Iowa and Wisconsin as as a territory. Gold was discovered in California in 1848. In this period two important institutions were es- tablished—the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the Smithsonian In- stitute at Washington. Polk was not a candidate in 1848, and Zachary Taylor was elected. Polk died a few months after his re- tirement from office, —- ——~--—-.

H—— THE OLD AND NEW SOUTH (By Walter Fraley) In writing of the Old South we at once think of the slave days and the iarge plantations. As most of the cultivated land in the South belonged -n large portions to individuals, it re- quired an immense amount of labor to -arry on the necessary work and cul- tivation of crops. The black slave was well adopted to this and before many years a plantation owner had a sarge number who were working on ais vast fields. Cotton, rice and tob- acco were the chief crops and each one required numbers of men to aid .n the planting and harvesting. The population of the South then was not nearly so much as it is now. Most of the people, if any of the ed- ucation was received went to a northern school. There were but a few schools in the South and they were poorly equipped. The South was unaware of the large amount of national resource and means of advancing their territory. Most all the manufacturing was done n the north and goods were sent to the South. Large amounts of the Southern necessites came from for- eign countries. Most all raw mater- ials was shipped away to some for- eign ports in exchange for merchan- dise and other things. Means of transportation had not been developed in the South. There was only one way of transporting goods from the interior to the coast and that was down the Mississippi. We have now seen some of the old South. The New South has risen to amazing heights. First is education. As one drives along a highway in the Southern States, his eyes often come upon the types of school houses. Each one equipped and up-to-date. The watch word of Governor Aycock of North Carolina was: “the education of all the people.” And which has been adopted by the entire New South. Soon all the states put on a drive for better and more schools, and today we find colleges and elementary schools all over the entire Southern territory. With education came the springing up of leaders from the Southern states. Men of high ideals and true leaders. The natural resources of the South have been developed and man- ufacturing has taken hold in the states. The farmers have learned to farm scientifically and the annual output of food and grain has increased tremendously. The farmer has learn- ed to diversify his crops and is not dependent upon any one crop as was the condition in the old South. The means of transportation have improved wonderfully. The roads in. some of the Southern states are the best that can be found. With a — means of transportation the cities, manufactures, and farms have all moved up until the South now is al- most up with the north and in some particulars surpasses her. P. O. H.

For he sang so very sweetly, In nots almost divine; And he was dressed so very neatly, I was proud to call him mine. But could not bring him home with me, For he was not to be confined In the din and smoke of the City, His heart was not there inclined. But out in Gods open country, He was quite content to dwell; For the glories there exalted, His sweet voice could only tell, He had already selected a hole, In an ancient apple tree; To build a home respected, By him and his mate, you see.

Twice in the Coastal Plain tobacco section at Wilson and Pinetops, and twice near the middle of the State at Ashboro and Albe- marle, and fartherest west at Gas- tonia. When all is summed up, we find we have only been to six Pres- byteries and six Presbyterials, or just two-thirds of the total. Of course, it is a tremendous ef- fort to cover the twenty-five hundred miles necessary to make all of these appointments. This effort is repaid in meeting the splendid men and wo- men who constitute our Church bod- ies and to see the uniformly cordial interest in the work of the Orphan- age.

Have you ever seen something that you liked very much, And still that something you could not touch? Did you ever know some one who did- n’t know you, And still you felt as if they knew? I fto you they came not, they came my way, And they came to me same day; All night long I could see the face, As beautiful as the snow that the sun doth chase, Then dawn came on with its silver gray, And whispered that the night had stolen away; It had stolen my dreams, my all away And left me at the beginning of an- other day. I am never happy nor never gay, Whatever I do or whatever I say, But I still press on and on and on And still feel that I have been treated wrong. —P. E. JONES. ——P.0.P.—.

Rotary-Kiwanis-Lions Feted At Barium Annual Banquet at Barium Springs Attended by 488 Rotarians, Kiwan- ians, Lions and Their Friends—Lot of Fun Crowded Into Two - Hour Program. Statesville Daily, April 23. The big annual joint meeting of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions Clubs of Statesville and Mooresville was held at Barium Springs Friday night. The ‘| time was 6:30 p.m. and five minutes ahead of that hour, automobiles began pouring into the northern and south- entrances to the Orphanage grounds and were courteously direct- éd by the Barium High School boys to the parking sites. It was 6:45 before the crowds were ready to file into the immense dining room of Rumple where the banquet was held. When the bell rang, the three en- trances to the dining room, which is about 40 feet wide and 100 feet long, were filled with guests who were crowding into the building, out of the ‘utting wind in which they had been standing for fifteen minutes awaiting the signal. There were 488 people who took their seats at the tables. Members of the civic clubs of the two towns and their guests, Superintend- ent Jos. B. Johnston and the matrons, teachers, employees and the older boys and girls of the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home, made up the number who were seated around the banquet tables. Very pleasing music was rendered by the bands of Statesville and Mooresville, under the direction of Dr. C. A. Turner, of Statesville. The band began playing while the guests were filing into the hall and kept it up until the master of ceremonies started the program. In the center of the large dining hall a temporary stage had been erected and decorated especially for this occasion. Mr. Joe Johnston, gen- 2ral manager of the Orphans’ Home and member of the Statesville Kiwan- s Club, was toastmaster. The excellent dinner was prepared at Barium Springs and was served in a most efficient and satisfactory man- rer by the girls of the Home. Practi- ‘ally everthing on the menu was zrown on the Barium Springs farm. fhe arrangement of the dining room, she service and the artistic decora- sions represented the combined efforts of “the grown folks and the young ‘olks of Barium Springs community.” During the early part of the lunch- 20n period, some of the smaller boys of the Home, disguised behind black ‘aces acting as news boys, distributed ‘The Luncheon Lizzard,” a diminutive 1ewspaper, issued on the occasion of the annual joint club meetings, which s “the temporary mouthpiece of the Iredell county civic clubs.” This is the second volume of the “Lizzard” and is published from the Barium Messenger Printshop. The first issue was published April 16, 1926. The ed- torial staff is composed of “the survi- vors of the 1926 gang.” to quote from che mast head. It is a bright, spicy sheet and furnished the guests with at ‘east ten minutes of entertainment be- -ween courses, _ Four years ago the custom of the joint meeting of the civic clubs at Ba- rium Springs was inaugurated. There were present on that occasion about sixty guests. In 1923 there were close to two hundred; in 1924, two hundred and fifty; in 1925, two hundred and seventy-five; in 1926, three hundred and fifty; and during the Friday night meeting there were four hundred and eighty-eight. About the time the last course was served, the smaller children of the Home filed into the great dining room ern and lined up on the sides, standing during the program. President Clyde Sterns, of the Statesville Lions Club, and Lions T. L. Trott and Chester O. Ensign brought greetings from what the toastmaster designated the “baby club.” Lion Ensign proved to be the club’s humorous entertainer. Judge A. L. Starr, president of the Mooresville Kiwanis club, was next called for and he talked briefly. Greetings were also brought by Pres- ident L. S. Gilliam, of the Statesville Rotary club, Past-president Harry Deaton, of Mooresville Rotary club, and Mr. Dewey L. Raymer, president of the Statesville Kiwanis club. The closing part of the program was given by the boys and girls of the Home and was very enjoyable. (Note—The boys in this pragram were Nell Coxwell.) Mr. M. E. Ramsey of the States- ville chapter, American Red Cross, read a telegram from President Cool- idge making an appeal in behalf of the Mississippi flood sufferers. Imme- diate relief is called for. All who wish to make contributions are asked to send them in either to Mr. D. M. Ausley, of Statesville, or Mr. R. O. Miller, of Mooresville. _Toastmaster Jos. B. Johnston, in dismissing the assembly at 8:30 o’clock, after the guests had spent two hours most delightfully, express- ed great pleasure at having the visit- ors present and extended an invita- tion for further visits, 5a 1 eS MESSENGER PAGE THREE —_—— ———-. _———— an — — ———__— = eae a » Sentence stmmnateneetimntieetinmetinesiomettae tame ttt Genesee —ABOnTONB—tin tag ge Mrs. A.

Pencils can be saved by not shar- pening them when they don't need it and by not losit 4 them. Textbook can be saved by not marking in them, tearing them up and losing them. Next comes the laundry, another place where we need to save. We save down the using too much oap, either for the ge al wash or for our own individual use. Also we the machinery run by not b not should not let when it is not in use In the evening when to stop work, we can see that every- thing is fixed up right.

As I looked up word “Save” in the Web s Dictionary this is the mean nd; “to hinder expense; t ” This is a definition r and grown up at Ba- im should study. We ought to save so as to keep out of debt or expense usually leads us into hot water I think the most important thing that needs to be saved here is clothes. Our clothing people have been so kind as to send each girl and boy individ- ual clothes and we should treat them as our own, and not as public prop- erty; not wearing one girls dress one Sunday and another person’s the next. In the first place the owner of the garment is fit of it and the one who borrows does not always take the proper care of it. I think a good remedy for borrowing clothes is for Mr. Johnston or Miss Adams to see that each girl gets the same number of nice dresses in their boxes the borrowing is mostly (because when some girls get a larger supply than others it causes discontentment among the less fortunate this leads to borrowing. r important thing that should be saved is paper. This is more noticable in the high school than any other department of our school sys- tem. As a remedy for this I suggest that the p and given by the weeks or months to the pupils as the pencils are. If it is wasted and gives out you should be compelled to buy more before the next supply day. If this system was en- forced I believe a great saving would prevail from During the World War every effort possible was made to save so why shouldn’t we do it now? Let’s not pick out just a few things to econo- this. mize on, but let’s save on everything. | Of all the written, what they dollars a bank book. saving letters that are if the authors will practice preach we will find the ‘umulating on the Home's LOUISE GUFFORD. Most every person thinks of thrift only in the terms of money. But saving money is by no means the only way in which one is accounted thrifty. There are numerous ways in which the “saving system” may be practiced. The really thrifty person is he that saves not only wordly gain, but time, effort and strength. It also exercising will power sacrificing per- sonal desires. A person who has ac- ually practiced thrift can truthfully say that he has been benefited greatly. Thrift needs to be practiced to the greatest extent inthe home; since Barium is the home of many it needs thrifty children as well as thrifty supervisors.

The boys and girls doubtless never think of the amount the Home has to pay paper or they would not be into for the so wasteful. One way to remedy this would be to have the teacher see that her room is absolutely out of paper before more is furnished. Another would be to have each pupil heid accountably for a certain amount of paper each month, The sewing group wastes more eleciricity than necessary, which can be remedied easily if each girl will always rem tor when she leaves her machine. They an also save time by sewing as care- fully as they know how, so that no article will have to be ripped out and sewn over, thereby wasting time that it would take to make another simi- ‘mber to turn off the mo- lar to the first. Quite a number of shoes are wasted shoes also. Some, as soon as their become worn in the bottom for the first time, throw them back and ask for a new pair. Each child should have his or her shoes sent to the shoe shop as often as needed until they are beyond repair, in order to save the Home m furnishing shoes so often, A saving instinct can also be shown in the handling of property of the Home, such as school books, hymn books, the machinery in the lifferent departments, etc. NELL COXWELL This problem has been pondered over and discussed for seme time but it has ne and probably never will be solved The first thing we could do to help save would be to watch about our food. Most of us girls and boys have “ey much larger than our stom- whs” as the old saying goes and we out on our plate more than we an eat. Let us remember after this that what we waste would be enough to feed some poor and hungry child who would be glad to get even the left from our table. scraps that are In the second place we will say : , something about our clothing. We all need coats and sweaters in the ‘winter time and sometimes when we zet hot we throw them down and get lost. If we would only take time to lay them up where we would be sure to see them we would not have to be buying any more. Some times when we don’t want a dress or slippers or any other things for that matter we tear it up or throw it away. It would be just as easy for us to do them up and let some one | younger than us have them and that |would save a whole lot. In the third place we should try to |save electricity. We are very care- less about leaving our lights on when jwe go to breakfast or supper and they are left burning up money we ; Boys and girls, we do not they can say. ‘ls, realize how much electricity costs and am sure we can always look out about our lights when we leave the room. If we make it our business to see about our lights we will just get into the habit of turning them off. Now we will go to the furniture. We, of course, do not realize that fur- niture costs money as well as other things. We should be careful with it just the same as we are with it when }we are in our own homes. If we would learn to take care of it we will become so that we will pride our- selves in having the nicest furniture in the building. When we are in school we do not realize that the cost of pencils, books, chalk and other things comes out of someone’s pocket and they would like to see it used in the right way. We could be careful and not throw chalk ‘about the room as we do sometimes when we just want to do something. We would do this, I am sure, if we would only think about it but we nev- er do until it is too late and then we jare sorry, so we ought to think twice ; before we do anything of the kind. | So boys and girls, don’t take so ;much food on your plate when you |think you are hungry, just think of |some poor boy or girl who is less | fortunate than we, and who do not have anything to eat. Don’t throw away your clothing, but give it to someone who needs it. Remember to always turn your lights off when you leave the room. We can then all be cutting down the high cost of living and the people will be willing to give us even more than they are now be- cause they will say, “Let’s give them more than we have been because now we have seen that they do not waste anything at all, but make every pen- ny count.” I know that we will get as much pleasure out of economizing as the people will get out of giving. Therefore, let us all practice sav- ing and see if we all won't get along much better. BEATRICE MARK.

Haney .| Superintendent of the Kentucky | Sydnodical Orphanage at Anchorage. The following clipping appeared in his paper, the Presbyterian Orphan- age Bulletin. We are publishing it here because of one paragraph, the second. He speaks of a condition that is the result of the united efforts of everybody at Barium Springs. This includes Executives, Teachers, Ma- trons, and Children, and we are glad when people have nice things to say about us. Orphanage at Barium Springs, N. C. “It was also our pleasure to vi- | sit the orphanage at Barium Springs, owned and controlled | by the Synod of North under the direct supervision Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, who is manager and treasurer. We went through the various departments and can say without hesitation that it is the best or- ganized place that we have ever visited. Mr. Johnston is doing an out- standing piece of work in behalf of the needy children who are under his care, and he is worthy of the co-operation that he has | so ably secured from the leader- | ship of the church of N. C. A visit to this place will give you a definite conception, if you are prejudiced now, of the prac- tical working of a large institu- tion, In 1925 Mr. Johnston was so kind as to come to Kentucky for us and represent the orphanage work before our Synod.’ ——P.O.H.

Bees, Bees, and then some. If you ion’t believe it count the bumps on Mr. Thomas’ face some day. They (the bumps) only mean that the bees are just getting acquainted; that the old bees have been taking samples of him home to teach the little bees who is boss. The enthusiasm with which Mr. Thomas is taking up this business means that this also will be success- ‘yl, and we will soon be having honey for our tables to take its place along with strawberries, peaches, apples, grapes, pears, and the endless variety of vegetables and melons that Mr. Thomas is also responsible for. P.O.H. Speaking Of Fruit Did you ever get all the strawber- ries you could eat? Wait, if there was over four hundred of you, do you think there would be enough straw- berries to fill you up? Well, there is over four hundred of us, and we have been eating straw- berries twice a day for over ten days. And all from our own back yard. Come up and help us eat them, also take a turn capping them. P.O.H. Poultry The poultry department that has for the past two years been looked after by the two younger boys of the Johnston family, will be in the near future turned over to the girls. An ideal chicken house on an ideal lot, back of our ideal cottage (The Lottie Walker) will have the atten- tion of some ideal poultry folks in the person of the girls. If the hens don’t outdo themselves, they are in danger, because these same girls do certainly know how to cook a chic- ken. Just a word about the ex-poultry- men, Joe and Jim Johnston. They have faithfully, if at times groaning- Back about the middle of March, on one of those warm early spring days, we had a meeting of the Board of Regents. One of the members noted several very earnest and per- spiring boys pushing lawn mowers over our ever-increasing lawn. Then this member (Colonel J. R. Young) suggested an idea. Some automatic lawn mowers that would pay us for the privilege of cutting the lawn. So Henry and his family down to three- day-old Sparkplug, is this idea ma- terialized. Yes, Henry is a sheep, bless his Roman nose, and he isn’t exactly a pet either. He likes to polish up that nose of his on soft portions of the smaller boys’ anatomy, and does it frequently when too many boys be- come volunteer shepherds or even when the afternoon just grows dull. Henry is not excessive however. He is a good sport, he doesn’t believe in jumping on a man when he is down. He would rather let him get up (or most up anyway) and then knock him down again. It may be that he has discovered that that method gets the most applause too. ly, each day collected the bread scraps from the dining room, the scraps from the infirmary, and looked after these chickens, They have supplied the infirmary at all times with all the eggs they needed, and the overflow has many times taken care of the Baby cottage. These two poultry- men will now take up farming. P. 0. H.—— Athletics This year for the first time we en- tered Track Meets. At first we were about as awkward and came out about as far behind as in our first year at football. However, our boys kept plugging along getting better and better at each Meet, until our last meet with Hickory High School. We overwhelmed our opponents by prac- tically doubling their score, and piling up these winning points in the lines in which we have been deficient, espe- cially running. It all goes to show that there is nothing like keeping at it to make a success at anything. We believe that our football team and all other athletics will be wonder- fully benefited by the effort put for- We would like to introduce you to ward in Track this year. ee and eighty boys had te test (r= U M Commencement We are particularly fortunate this year in the speakers for C ment.

How is everything and everyone at Bariun by now? Would certainly like te make a visit there. I feel sure every- thing has changed in some way since { last heard from you. Can you tell me who I would write to in order to take the little pape from there? I don’t know the name of it now, since they put out their paper the last time, or do they print a little paper there now? I would certainly like to know where some of the children (that were there when Will! and I were) are now. I suppose you remember Will. 1 think since you wrote last, Will has gotten hurt and died from the hart. } He died last August 16th. He left a wife and baby 4 months old. They are making their home with Dr. Mother and myself. We certainly are proud of them. The baby is so sweet just like her father and more and more like him every day. Do you know where Miss Lyon is? Is she still there# You know I think of nearly everyone that was there when we were. At times I want to see some of you so badly I can hard- ly live just to get to thinking of old times and goo! times we had while there. Would like to hear from you andé know about the little paper.

(May, 7) We left here at eight o’clock Staurday morning and got back just in time for milking that evening. Everyone had all the hot doys, ice cream, and lemon- ade they could hold. After eating, part of us went fishing. We caught a string of 110 small fish. We had a good time swimming too. We went out on a large sandbar in the river and had a track meet. No one seems to know who won. The swimming pool is open at last. No one enjoys it more than we. Nearly every night a baseball game is going near the pool so the spectators can enjoy two things at once. Buck Jackins is our star player in baseball. We are to have a track meet with Lees Cottage boys Saturday. We are going to do our best to lick them in track as we did in football. Well its milking time now so good- bye for a month. ——P.0.H.

CAMPUS GROUP We were so busy at work last didn’t have time to shall try to month that we write any make up for lost time. The grass grew so fast that we got a small herd of 15 sheep to help keep it down. They. help out a little, but to be cut with the mowers. The first day the sheep were on the campus, Henry, the ram, soaked Bill Johnston several times. One could smell liniment on poor Bill the next day. Henry follows Bill all the time now, and they seem to be be pretty good buddies. It’s a good thing for Bill that the ram likes him or he’d be ox the ground most of the time. We've beer. helping the farmers put up the hay sor the last two weeks. We'll ali be glad to get it in for it’s mighty hard work, or at least yours truly thinks so. The Messrs. Nesbits have been re- pairing Mrs. Ketchies’ house. It has had two rooms and a porch added to it and is now being painted. It looks news, but we like a new house altogether now. We have only one more month of | school. When school is out we can} devote our full time to our work, and then we won't be rushed so. As soon as we finish one thing, there’s another big job on hand. “Loudspeaker Bill” Perry, our red- headed underpass sweeper, who re- cently broke the record for cleaning underpasses, has had a piece of tough | luck recently. He was digging when a small rock flew up and hit him in the eye. Poor “Red”! All his troubles | are in his eyes. He’s visited the doc- ter nearly every day for a couple of weeks,and gets out of work and school, which he says he don’t mind so much. Our water boy, Josepus Keenan has his hair cut at last. Joe’s hair was getting so long that Mr. Cavin started to put him with the sheep, thinking his hair was wool Therfore, Joe got a haircut that night. The grounds around the High | School builuing were filled in with top soil recently. When w e get grass | sowed it will be ove of the beaty spots | | ma of the campus. We have a large flower bed infront of it now, and have put turf along the edges of the side walk. Bob Johnston has not been at work for about two weeks. We miss him a great deal, for he was the brains of the gang. Perhaps his brother Bill will turn ort to be as brainy as Bob. Let us hope so. We put Brother W. W. Fraley to mowing grass last week and he prov- ed to be a most efficient lawn-mower pusher. When Mr. Lowrance was asked if he could do it he said he did- n’t care how long Fraley worked. We have enjoyed seeing the track meets here. We express our thanks to them for such fine entertainment, and they owe us thanks for making the hurdles, and fixing up the field for their use. Two of our workers made their letter in track, Thad Brock and Bob Johnston. Folks, this is getting rather tire- some for you by now so we'll ring off. ~-“The Gang.” ——P. 0. X:.

After being chosen Governor of Vir- Mr. Tyler received many proofs of the confidence of his fellow citizens. ginia he was sent to Congress as S5en- ator. Here he took the same stand against protective tariff. When Harrison was elected presi- dent in 1840, Tyler was elected vice president. President Harrison died one month after taking office and Ty- ler was sworn in as his successor. His position was a critical one. The peo- ple wanted him to continue the ad- ministration as Harrison had startc d but Tyler had views of his own and stuck to them. The bill for ye-chartering the bank came before Tyler for his signature. He promptly vetoed it as his views had been announced. When the bill was vetoed a storm of indignation rose throughout the country. All Tyler’s cabinet resign- ed but Daniel Webster, his secretary of state. Among the notable measures President Tyler’s administration was the treaty in 1842 with Great Britain by which each country agreed to ar- rest and send back criminals who should flee to ‘it from the other cou.- try. Also during his administration, Mexico and the United States had a war over the question of boundary. This was finally settled and a treaty signed. When Tyler was re-nominated for the presidency he declined and return- ed to his estate near Greenway. He was then chosen to the perma- nent Congress of the Confederate States, but died in Richmond, Janu- ary 18, 1862, and was buried in Hol- lywood oman of oO. H.—m— ZACHARY TAYLOR By Mary S. Craig The twelfth president was Zachary Taylor. He was born in Virgina, November 24, 1784. His father, Col. Richard Taylor, fought in the Amer- ican Revolution. His early life was that of the frontier. Unlike some presidents, he never showed much in- clination for books although he start- ed to school at an early age. In appearance Taylor was sturdy, healthy looking boy At the age of twenty-four he entered the United States army through the influence of his father. Meanwhile he made his way to New Orleans to join the troops as lieutenant. During the last year of the war with England Taylor prov- ed himself a bern soldier. In the battle of Tippecance, Captain Taylor’s men made such a brave stand against the Indians that they were obliged to take to the wilderness. He also took part in the Black Hawk war. In all these battles he was very determined. In the war with Mexico Taylor showeti to his nation his brillian qualities as a soldier. For many years his name had been buried on the frontier. Taylor’s name was in evcry body’s mouth. The stories of his skill spread through out the nation. His soldiers called him “Old Rough and Ready.” In the battle of Buena Vista Taylor heroism shows out with more bril- liancy than ever before. Sarta Anna with an army of 20,000 Mexican soldiers attacked the Americans who had only 5,000, and the Mexican General sure of success, sent a sum- mons to Taylor to surrender. “Gen- eral Taylor never surrenders,” was the reply sent back. As he rode along the ranks he said to his men, “goldiers I intend to tsand ‘here, not only as Jong as a man remains but as long as a piece of a man is leit.” Soon the battle started, when night came on neither side had won a vie- tory. Taylor waited for dawn, ex- pecting the fight to continue but all the Mexicans had disappeared, so he was the hero of Buena Vista. At this time his name was put up by the “Whips” as candidate for the presidency. At first he declined but finally he accepted. He was elected and went to the White House March 4, 1849. After Taylor become “gold fever’ started in Califonia, when so many there they had a state. Trouble started at once.

This table shows each month the con- tributions by Presbyteries and how far behind or ahead they are on this schedule. The last column shows for comparison the standing a year ago. This does not mean that only $1.50 is expected from any member, but is used in reporting on large groups like a Presbytery. $5352.44 7.3¢ 24.7¢ 30.5« This with some interest from endowment received this month enabled us to get along without getting farther in debt. A week ago business looked pretty bad for us. The end of the month was onus and we didn’t have near enough money to take care of the cash items. like pay rolls, ete. We didn’t know where it was coming from and were getting just a mite scared. But the last few days of the month the tiny trickle of receipts swelled into a regular rain and we managed not to get any deeper in debt. Isn’t that fine? But let’s look a little into the causes of this. Taking the Synod as a whole we find the in- crease revenue coming only from four Presbyteries, five be- ing rather more behind than last year. Concord has made a slight gain, Winston Salem and Kings Mountain big gains, while Mecklenburg steps way out in the lead. Let’s take our hats off to Mecklenburg, what do you say? Let’s look into that a bit. In analyzing Mecklenburg receipts we find that one church gave three-fourths of the total for the Presbytery. While but for a few shining exceptions Mecklenburg is not doing any better than the rest. So instead of taking off our hats to all of the Presby- tery lets just take it off twice to those churches that are really making an effort to change oui condition. WHAT HAPPENED? Two months ago the distress- ing condition of our finances was broadcasted to the church, through the meetings of Presby- teries, Presbyterials, by the Messenger, and by the Chureh Papers. At first nobody seemed to give any heed, but we soon began to note a slight improve- ment in some quarters. Some of the larger churches began to| send money on their apportion- ments earlier than before.

We began to lose hope, just thought may- be the Orphanage cause was just crowded out in the presence of other just as worthy causes. And then the end of the month came, with all the ealls for cash that it brings. We had- n’t cleaned up May bills and we just had to have money this time. Then we received a check of over a hundred dollars from the Second Church Auxiliary mark- ed “Special Collection for Bar- ium.” This raised our hopes a little.

H.—_————_— DIFFERENT OPINIONS (By Dennis Boyette) John Westen and Phil Blake were noted for their lasting friendship. They had been friends through thick ind thin. But this did not keep them from arguing about the thing that nad done more for civilization, armies or literature “Now, you can’t deny that Alex- ander the Great didn't help the world. He consolidated the known part of it and brought every one closer to- gether.” John started out. He was for the armies “Well in all this Alexander’s one great aim was to spread Greek liter- ature. Thus it caused the consoli- dation.” “What about the Romans?” John asked. “Didn't they make the great roads, buildings, aqueducts and other good things with their armies?” “Yes,” replied Phil, “and they also created universities. They gave the world the laws that have been a model for ail nations. This was because of the influence of literary culture. The men would write and learn the needs of the people. They were in- terested because literature made them so,” “Well, I'm sure your wonderful literature didn’t win the battle of You know, don't any of us like to write news for the paper because we haven't any thing to write. We know the farmers are glad to see the sun- shine. We are having a few apples and peaches. We are glad to have them. Thank you. We are having vegetables from our gardens and we do enjoy them. The poultry men, Fannie and Nellie, report an improve ment in the chickens the past week They are very much interested in checkers. The girls are enjoying the swim ming pool. A large number of children went to] Mooresville to hear Mr. Stevens. We enjoyed his sermon and are expect- ing him to take dinner with us today (Monday, June 27). Mr. Carson from Statesville preach ed for us last night. We were glad to have him. There are only seventeen girls on the First Floor, but the boys still en- Winston-Salem first, W £i1- joy coming, Tours.” John replied in triumph. “You know Charles Martel saved Europe from the ‘Koran.’” Yes all you say is right, but you don’t say enough.” Phil laughed as he said this. “History plainly shows that he was successful only because he was educated.” “You think you’re smart, don’t you?” Jehn inquired sarcastically.. “There laugh thisone off. How in the name of Juluis Caesar did litera- ture win the American Revolution?” “Gee! Thats easy,”and Phil won again. “Can’t you see its the same old story? Washington and La- fayette both had a good education and consequently they could plan a better battle. In America all men were equal and could go to school while the British hired soldiers knew only war and that not too good, as was proved. “Say are you going to tell me that literature did more than poisonous gas, airplanes, big guns and men in the World War?” asked John, becom- ing exasperated. “Sure,” Phil replied. “Ludendorff, one of Germany's greatest generals said that the armies of the Allies did not do as much toward winning the war as did the Licknowsky “Memiors” and Wilson,s “Fourteen Points”. Both of these are litera- Vacation Musings E have had quite a bit of literature coming to our desk about vaca- tions, and some of them are most alluring. One of them spoke of the joy of just relaxing and throwing off the cares of a great institution like this and taking a real rest. We think these various people have gotten our orphanage confused with schools and other institutions that close up entire- ly during the summer. As an evi- dence that we do not close up, we are giving something of the going and coming of our family during the last half of this merry month of June. Of course, the first half of June is well taken up with the final examinations and commencement in connection with our school. These wind up by the middle of June. A glance at the log will give some indication of the stir- ring times we have had since the fif- teenth. The following children have gone out from the orphanage to stay: Some by graduation, some having reached the age limit, others on ac- count of their homes being re-estab- lished. Their names are as follows: Ada Woodward, David Price, Camelia Price, Joenell Price, John E. Price, McLean Capps, William Faulkner, Leone Caudill, Beatrice Mark, Kath- leen Moore, Margaret McPhail, An- gelina Bernardo, Thelma _ Shaffer, Eloise Ketchie, Mary Craig, Frances Cable, Violet Oliver, Lillie Jackins, Baxter McKenzie, Bonnie McKenzie, Paul McKenzie, John Brock, making a total of twenty-two. There have entered during this same time Fred Riddle, Mary Coppedge and Evelyn Coppedge. There are slated to enter within the next week, seven children. These together with the seventeen that are already here to take the places of those leaving in June, has kept us around the tapacity mark 360. Only for a few days at a time has there been less on our roll than this number. In addition to those going out per- manently there have forty-eight chil- dren gone out on their two weeks va- cation. Part of these have come back. All in all, it has been a rather hectic two weeks with the coming and going the saying “good-byes” and saying “hellos.” The arrangements and schedules and train connections somes a little awkward during the first part of the summer, but by the middle of July most any of us in the office can tell you off-hand every train schedule and bus schedule in the state. Also, the price of the ticket to and from every town of any consequence in the state. Of course June always seems to he the busiest month in this respect, but there still remains on the first of July over three hundred children yet to go out on their vacations; and then, our family is usually about forty out on vacation all the time during the sum- mer months, except around August the fourth when the whole family gets back together again and goes on that big trip to Montreat. One very pleasant feature of our summer activities is showing over the farm and the various departments of the orphanage, summer visitors. Sun- day schools are getting in the habit of coming up for picnics and we are delighted to have them. Almost before we know it, August will be here and then there is just a little while till school again, and we will all heave a sigh of relief y ’ school is again started and vaca time over, and the going and coming at an end for a season. Also, the beginning of school means the begin- ning of football and that always makes the fall of the year pleasant for everybody. Barium Springs is just as good a place as anybody could want to take a vacation in anyway. We have pleasant company, pleasant weather and good things to eat, and, if we could Just meet our bills promptly we wouldn't want any better place to stay. ture. Many of the German leaders in- sisted that these did more than any- thing else. : i. guess you win now but just wait,” John spoke rather sheepishly. “Just remember this, John,” Phil explained, “literature is older than anarmy. It is demanded by all—has been through all ages. Since people first began to write, it has guided the eo of nations. It has enabled men to express the thing all people really felt. It has est. thei! tdoal before them. This ideal has been illumined by the torch of learning-lit- erature.

This makes us fallin love more than ever with our splendid New School Buiid- ing. Barium is always fortunate in the men who come to us at Commence- ment. Everyone seems to grasp the opportunity to come and speak to our family and guests. This year was no exception. Dr. J. H. Henderlite preach- ed our Baccalaureate Sermon on the morning of the twelfth. His sermon on Jacob and the Well he dug will be remembered for many a day. On Sun- day night, Rev. J. H. Carter of Tay- jorsville, preached on Joseph, the Dreamer; and he gave us all some- thing to think about. We are glad to have him as a com paratively near neighbor and we hope that he can often come to us. Monday night was given over entire ly to the children of the grades and the Operetta and Choruses that they presented were enjoyed very much. The children all went through their parts like old-timers, and while there may have been mistakes, they were " not evident to the large and appreci- ative audience. One of the most com- mendable things was the absence of adult supervision during the play. Of course there were teachers back of the scenes directing and prompting, but this was not evident to the audi- ence. We cannot commend too highly the teachers that worked so hard and successfully in getting up this enter- tainment, or the children doing their part so well..

In spite of every precaution to have held every one’s attention from wonderful personality | yur audience on time, there was a con- tinual string of people coming in from the time he started to speak until he finished.

These vere not confined to the high school xr to the grades, but to -he entire family. Mr. Jackson who promised these watches was killed in September, but che North Carolina Association of Public Accountants of which he was 1 member decided to donate watches and carry out the plan of Mr. jackson. Mr. Woods, the Secretary Treasurer of this organization, presented these two watches. The zirls watch was won by Letha Cope- and of the ninth grade. The watch by Morris Lee of the seventh rrade. Numerous other prizes and a- wards were given. One of the exercises that was not in he regular Commencement Week per- ‘ormances, but really belonged with t, was a Music Recital given Friday aight,June the 10th, by pupils of Miss ureene. Music recitals are usually snteresting only to the relatives oi -he performers, and when one is ong duration sometimes the audience secomes bored and restless, Miss Greene’s recital was long, but every- yody stayed through it and enjoyed .t. This speaks mighty well for her and for her class. The selections were well chosen and the performance of each child was splendid, and all who went enjeyed it. As we look oack on our Commencement there is just 2 fine feeling of satisfaction that everything was done weil, and the -ontemplation would be nothing but pleasure were it not for the fact that 2’sur Commencement meant the saying good-bye to so many of our loved ones. We wish it were so that they didn’t have to leave; but then, we know that that would not be best be- cause they have their work to do in che world as well as we. We just nope that there wiil be many, many occasions when they can come back to see us for a day, for a week or longer. as long as we live. —_—P. 0.

Wish everyone could have gone. We are sorry to have to give up two of our sweetest girls, Hazel and Margaret. Hope they will miss us as bad as we will miss them and hope they will come back to see us. We are expecting some of our “bud- dies” back pretty soon and guess we'll! have a time petting them to keep them from weeping. Hope every body is as enthused of going to Montreat as we are. Since there is not many girls, there isn’t much news. Hope we'll have more next time. Our family is rather smail since so many boys are going away on their vacation. Some have already return- ed and from the way they are crying they are glad to get back. Oné day Edward Flowers said, “It seems to rain evefy day,” and Clarence Link said, “No wonder they keep hanging up snakes.” Miss Steele brought us a dog and its name is “Roberta” She gets lots of attention. One day Larry and John Cole had a quarrel and Miss Turner was hav- ing them to make up with each other. She told them to hug each other and that the Bible said, Love one another. Larry said, “Yes, but it doesn’t say hug one another.” Miss Andrews is away on her va- cation. We hope she has a good time and comes back soon. We were glad to have a visit from Miss Steele’s friend from New York. Miss Peari Shackilford is going te Honolulu in August. We wish her good luck on her trip. We are looking forward to our trip to Montreat. —-P. 0. H.— MR. CAN’T AND MR. CAN. On, Mr Can’t and Mr. Can Is a very different sort of man! For Mr. Can he always tries, For Mr. Can’t he always cries. Now Mr Can gets many a blow, But he gets the best in the end, you know. While Mr. Can't gets nothing at all, Fer he’s down too low to suffer a fa! Oh, Mr. Can gets up with a grin! And says: “I‘m bound in the end to win.” But Mr. Can’t is a pitiful sight, For he’s whipped before he’s begun to fight; And he says that it puzzles him quite a lot Why some can do it and some cannot. Oh poor Mr. Can’t! For he never knew. The secret I’m going to whisper to you. That you surely can if you only try. And you certainly can’t if you only ery. And that is the reason why Mr. Can From Mr. Can't is a different man —St. Nicholas. -xpected by all and if the trip is any ways like the former ones I. don’t think that many will be disappointed The Printing Office was closed up last week because Mr. Edwards got too lonely down here by himself. During the shut-down in the work he took a nice vacation down in the Eastern part of the Tar Heel State, as lid the writer also. This is one of the reasons that the Messenger is late this month. There are so many newcomers over in this cottage now that we can’t even keep track of them. They have been duly initiated and are regular mem- bers of the Jennie Gilmer Clan or Klan, which ever you think of first. Well, here’s hoping that next Thursday will bring fair weather and a successful trip to Montreat. ' —P. 0.

OF [ts FRIENDS sila posed to be resting their tired brains irom the strain of a seri thought. 3ut the conclusions th ire forced to draw from the sul lished statistics of our churches’ activities are so startling that it is necessary to face some hard facts or rir serious risk of a more disast) iwakening iater on. We take it that as a general propo sition the Presbyterian Church in the United States is supposed to be a going concern, and (chat it’s largest Synod lecated in the twost forward section of the whole assembly in par- ticular is a going concern. A going concern is by its name and the every- day use of the term, also a growing ‘oncern. From our knowledye of our church- es’ enterprises and institulions, they are founded and operated on the be lief that our church is both a going and a growing concern. If our ef- forts to minister to 1 material needs of the unfortunate or the spirit- ual needs of the unsaved are blessed at all, it means the opening up of ever increasing opportunities and res- vonsibility. Tf the church is net growing this increasing responsibility annot be met, and our buttleery, “The World for Christ in this Generation” ‘May We Moid Oar OWT Tor this ieneration.” There ure explanations that soothe for a time, but do not satisfy, ane when repeated too often fails to even ocothe. We have been told that the shrinking membership of our church s due to the purging of the church rolls of hundreds of names of one ime members that have disappeared ceased to make any pretense of be- ing church members. But can that sears, William Murrell, and Harold . Reavis. We are also glad to have these boy: ake their place: Jack Weatherly. Archie Greesen, Bill Greesen, and ‘harles Greesen. About all of the boys have already yeen on their vacation and have come back. About all you can hear around here itta boy! We won't have much longer o wait before we get to go to Mon- treat. We will write more news next time. ——P.O.H.- NON-LIKING OF LITERATURE (By Nelli Coxwell) “How canI get my pupils to the vlace where they'll realize the ne- ‘essity of literature?” asked a tea- ‘her in the high school department. “I do not know how to advise you ‘or mine are in the same plight,” re- plied another of her sister teachers. “They just will not hear me when I began to tell them of the importance f reading good literature. They} irgue that they cannot get anything from the dry books required of them to read. I try to tell them that it’s for their own benefit that they read the books, but no, they want to read Zane Grey’s novels—or Raines’ or Curwood’s something to hold their ‘nterest every minute. They have read so many of this kind that noth- ing else will hold their attention. It really is hard for boys and gir!s to make themselves read books not in ‘the least interesting to them, but just the same they will come to the con- ‘lusion, later on, that it was for their own good that we had them read and report on books of literary value.” “Well,” the first teacher replied, “I think I shall invent a method of my own to make them stop grumbling when I have them read certain par- allel books. When I even speak the word literature, there is an up-rising in the room, and I can hardly hear my own voice for several minutes. When I get them quiet they all loll back in their seats and pay attention to me when I’m trying to read or ex- plain something. I am going te try to study out some way in which I can get their interest. xplain the shrinkage in members joining the church by profession? The figures show that in the as sembiy the number of communi- ants has shrunk during the last burch year 42,556 and the North ‘arolina Synod has shrunk 2,689, and the year before North Carolina was at a standstill. Now a slump in membership and giving may be expected during and ‘ollowing some great calamity, and | possibly the assembly could next year how the bad results of the Missis pi flood, but North Carolina has had 10 flood. North Carolina is so prosperous in material things that nearly every Presbyterian family can and proba bly does go to church in an automo- bile. Maybe we expressed that wrong. They have the car and maybe had the thought of driving to church in mind when they bought it, but now maybe t runs so goed on our good roads that t just won't stop at the church door, but just and on, until it ‘eaches the delectable mountains or equaliy delectable seashore. No there s no material calamity to account for the decline. Weli, maybe the churches’ machin- “ry in material and personel is run | down and needs pepping up. No, that can't be for in the assem- bly there is reported about three mii- lions actually paid in during the year on new church buildings, over a half million being in North Carolina. And among the few things that show an nerease in our church reports is the number of preachers, elders and dea- ‘ons. No, the army seems well equipped and oificered, but the ranks and recruits are both shrinking. And then the benevolences are shrinking, showing that all that we are losing is not “dead timber.” What is the matter, friends? Can| t be-that we have been spending so much time and brain arguing about our beliefs that we haven’t had time to offer the simple gospel, to our be- wildered neighbors? Can it be that we have just tired of the whole busi- ness and are deliberately quitting? Or is it that we have just been so busy with our business and our ever | more necessary pleasures that we | haven't thought what all this means? Let’s see how it looks to our for- eign mission folks. Instead of re- rolls on i | | Press, This Is One Time We Would Use Red Ink LOOK AT THOSE FIRST TWO COLUMNS joicing over each new volunteer, and each new field opening up and spend- ing themseWes in the glorious labor of xpanding the work of spreading the Gospel, they must carefully analyze he situation to see what stations to lose this year, and which to mark or closing next year, until in the fu- ture, we can see all work _ finally abandoned or turned over to hands not more willing but better supported. Our Home Mission people instead f entering into the work of re-estab- lishing our churches in the devastated Mississippi Valley, should abandon it to other denominations and look else- where for places to eventually with- draw. Our educational departments pos- | sibly would not feel the change so much except in making an entire change of front, because the shrink- ing church will not need so many ministers or educated workers. The Orphan Homes need to about ‘ace, and instead of trying to keep up should be changed t. something like | with the times in child welfare, and aking its share’ of the burden of car- ng for helpless childhood, must plan ww to most gracefully relinquish the use of building after building until he load is finally shifted to other shoulders. We wonder who wants the handling any of these shrinking jobs? Presbyterians are, as a rule, proud folk. The churches we worship in as 1 rule, bear out this idea still. Just to look at them and no further we might use the words of King David. ‘I will not worship my God with that which costs me nothing,” and we might swell with pride over just what that is costing us, but Brethren, be- ‘oce we carry that pride too far— Read your Asscmbly Minutes. -P.0.H.——— INFIRMARY ch e a p + Well here we are once more with nothing to say only we have two patients.

Lydia Donaldson has gone on her vacation. We hope she does not stay for we could not do without her. “Vacation” is all you can hear. We will be glad when Ruth Freeman leaves so she will be satisfied. We will also miss her in more than one way. First her singing, her big mouth and her doing the Charleston. I know she can’t sing at home for she has already strained her voice now.

EXPLANATION: The revenue from the Churches needed for the orphan- age for the year amounts to $107.000 —an average of $1.50 per church member, or 12% cents per month. This table shows each month the con- tributions by Presbyteries and how far behind or ahead they are on this schedule. The last column shows for comparison the standing a year ago. This does not mean that only $1.50 is expected from any member, but is used in reporting on large groups like a Presbytery. HE August Table is be- fore you, it contains other things this time than just the receipts Usually we receive the Assembly Minutes in Ju- ly, so we correct the membership col- umn by the new minutes. This year, the changes were so unusual that we are publishing the figures for 1926 as well as 1927. You will note that in every Pres- bytery but one there is shown quite a shrinkage in membership. It’s effect on this table e of course, on the Orphanage Avork is ju this. Estimating the benevolent revenue om thé Same basis as hegetofore i. ¢ an average of $1.50 pen member means a reduction of $4,034.00 in what may be expected this year. In holding the capacity of the Home to one child for each 200 church members, it means reducing the size of our family to 355 children. We had 377 on the roll at the end of school. That sounds simple enough doesn't it? But it isn’t simple or easy at all We wish the whole church could just zo over our waiting list and our pre sent enrollment, and after looking at all the facts in connection with each one, tell us which not to accept, and which to send out, in order to make this reduction. We know what they would say, | when the study of the situation would be over. They would say, “Just keep them all and manage to take care of these few more any way, and we will come to your rescue.” We know they would say that, for individuals have done just that many a time recently. But does the church at large really want to come to our rescue? More has been said this spring and | summer about our needs, than in any year that we know about, and it has resulted in serious efforts being made | -n about four localities. The table shows a marked improve- (ment in four Presbyteries over last year and a decline in four, with one | Presbytery balancing on the fence. The figures sound harsh, we are trying not to make our words so. You are responsible for what the figures show. We know this great institu- tion has your good will. Please cash some of that good will and send to us quick. —P.O.P.—— FACE THE SUN Don’t hunt for trouble, but look for success. You'll find what you look for look for distress!

JOHNSON - i RAIN a child up in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This expression, al- though uttered centuries ago, is no less true today than then. Solomon, the man who gave utter- ance to this psychologica! truth, un derstood the anfolding of the plastic mind of the child. Every normal individual when born into the world possesses two qualities or forces, negative and positive. These qualities, although dorman at first, lie like some sleeping giant in the em- bryo of the child’s very nature, until the spring-time of youth, when they put forth every energy to struggle for predominancy on life’s field of battle. Not only does the mind of the child possess these negative and positive energies, but the soul and body as well, have their corresponding quali- ties. The battle for supremacy is a battle between two gigantic forces. The negative qualities are developed in accordance with a definite and ab- solute law. Failure is the inevita- ble result of their development. The positive qualities are also developed n accordance with a law which is just as definite and just as absolute. The development of these qualities neans success and a_ well-rounded life. A. man fails or succeeds in life is the negative or positive qualities ire in the ascendence. Solomon said ‘As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” The psychologist tells us that very idea which enters into the mind ‘mmediately tends to express itself n action. If pessimistic environ- ments are thrown around a child, iothing in the world can keep him from being a pessimist. Had you ‘ver stopped to think just how little ippreciation the world has for a pes- simist and how the hearts of men and women long for a gleam of optimism? Each of these forces have in all iges, builded monuments to their narvelous powers. Te negative have ‘or their harvest: the state prisons, ‘ounty jails, saloons, gambling houses sallrooms, society card games, slums f the city, and ruined homes. As a ‘esult of: the positive qualities, school louses are on every hill-top, churches n every vale, great institutions of earning throughout the country, Y. M,C. A. and ¥. WG. &- buildings in ‘very town and city, and thousands of lappy homes around whose firesides ire cradled the nations of tomorrow. Is.it not true that God holds us re- ‘ponsible for the development of our sowers and talents? The greatest ‘actor in such development is the nome. What is a home? Words are inadequate to express. No other ex. pression has such a significance. The itterance of the word fills our hearts with memories, sweet and endless. If ‘very home were a place of prayer and ‘very father and mother a consecrat- +d christian, living in the fear of God, tates would close their prison doors, ‘emove the gallows and electric chair, he wals of your county jails would rumble to dust, the guards on your oublic highways would be found in ther pursuits, the saloons, gambling touses, and soft-drink stands would ve found asiduously seeking more fa- vorable location. Mr. Roosevelt said, on one occasion, ‘The children of today, will be the iation of tomorrow.” This being true, What a tremendous responsibility ‘ests upo nthe home. If our nation s to stand the tests of the ages and verpetuate the memory of our “Pi)- rim Fathers,” if it is to be the land f the free and the home of the brave, f this is to be a christian land and | God-fearing people, then the prinei- es of patriotism and christianity nust be taught in the homes. You lave no moral right to construct tround a child, a wall of negative en- ‘ironments and then punish him for he commission of crime. I was going down one of the streets of a certain city a few days ago, and saw a score of boys about the age of -welve engaged in a typical Indian vattle. They were attired in Indian ‘ostumes, with feathery caps and vainted faces. Some had bows and ar- ‘ows, others had hatchets and pisto!s. { watched them as they made an as- ault on the fort. The white inmates vere taken prisoners, and punishment £ the most cruel nature was inflict- 1d. There was one whose feathery ‘ap seemed to be most prominent, and is the would-be Indians charged and yell at his command, I judged he was ‘hief. Now and then his orders were uffirmed and sealed by an oath. As { watched them, I asked myself this juestion,. “From whence cometh these vironments?” Then I thought of hose accursed Indian stories of the ‘ar west, how they have creeped into sur homes, not only stealing from the »0ys and girls golden moments of time, but have developed those nega- tive qualities which mean absolute failure and destruction, Not long ago a youth was arrested ather Th n Oklahoma City on the charge of Bank robbery, and on examination in police courts, stated that the reading of the life of the James boys impelled him to commit the crime. Another boy who was arrested in the city of an Reform - Barium Springs, nN. ¢. re . New York, for house-breaking, stated in his cell, that he conceived the plan for such crimes in a moving picture show. A drunkard was one day on his way from his home to a nearby saloon for an early morning drink st beforc entering the saloon, he heard a small voice behind him say, “Papa, | am ‘tumin’ too.” On looking around he saw his four-year-old boy using all his physical strength to step just as far as his father. The father turned around and with all the Inunhood of his soul picked up his boy and pressed hi melose to his breast and vowed by the help of Almighty God, ana for the sake of his boy, he would be g man What our churches need most today is men and women with a broade conception of duty and responsibili- ty. Men and women who are willing to take a firm stand for the right and then defend it at whatevere cost. The positive qualities when devel »ped, are just as affective. Washing- ton, on one occasion, stated that to his mother was due all the giory and hon- or of his success. His was a chris- tian mother, living constantly in pray er. Do you remember how President Garfield honored his mother on the day of his inauguration? The first kiss was hers, the first congratulation from her. He knew very well that t was not alone, his military fame or the votes of the people, but his mother’s care, self-sacrifice, blessings and prayers that made him President. Abraham Lincoln is another living example of proper home training, Be- ng reared under christian influence he developed a strong positive power, which exemplified itself in the White House. On one occasion an old friend of the Lincoln family, and his wife were in Washington and called to see she President. After-meeting and ex- ‘hanging the usual compliments, the Id gentleman turned to his wife and said: “Mother, he’s just the same old Abe.” Why are there not more Wash- ngtons, Garfields, and Lincolus? It s the lack of home training. The negative forces develop in a natural sequence, but the positive nust be stimulated. Next in impor- vance to the home for such develop- nent is the Sunday School. It is use- less to say that the teacher for these thildren should be a christian and above all should understand child na- cure. Many of these little ones come ‘rom homes where Christ is not known thereby augmenting the responsibility of the teacher. While this is true, her opportunities for doing good is ‘orrespondingly great. The kindergarten is an important factor in preventive work. Here the spirit is humane, kindly, sympathetic, ind loveable. This is the atmosphere n which the child grows socially, mor- illy, spiritually and intellectually. ™m ther words, the kindergarten is 2 so- ‘ial world for the child, where he de- velops his nature through experience. {t aims to reach the thought sf the ‘hild through his affections, and sym oathies, and it excites these by ap- sealing to his activities. It may be lefined as an organized sequence of experience through which the child zrows into self-knowledge, clear ob- servation, and conscious grasp of the whole circle of his relationship. Dr. snyder of Colorado, speaks of the in- luence of the kindergarten as fol- ows: “Let such a mighty influence vouch all the children of our country vetween the ages of four and six and here would be such a change in American life in our generation as to surprise the must sanguine,” The Government has expended shousands of dollars in building re- formatories, and promoting various rganizations along these lines, In- stituted the JuvenileCour t which is world-wide in it’s influence, but until snvironments are altered and the child ‘arefully taught, it will prove a hope- ‘ess task. The child should emerge from the xindergarten into the various auxili- iry organizations of the church, and -here, given some specific work, Here 1e is given a chance to put into prac- ice that which he has learned in the aome, Sunday School, and kindergar- zen. He ig now in the self-conscious geriod. He begins to think and speak ‘or himself. All the principles which iave been impressed on his young na- cure, begin to re-assert themselves, Here the home training blossoms into ‘ruitage. This is the beginning of che age in which there is a fierce bat- sle between the negative and Positive Jorces the decisiveness of which, de- ermines the future welfare of the thild. Man is a triune being created in the ‘mage of God and declared the crown f creation. Then to approach the ideal, the three-fold nature of man, mind, spirit, and body, must be devel. »ped symmetrically. These natures. while separate in one sense, bear 2 lirect relation to one another. De- velop a man spiritually and you have a moral crank; develop him mentally, and you have a fool; develop him phy- sically and you have a brute. In our ef- forts to develop the spiritual and men- tal, let us not forget the physical, A strong, healthy physique is essential in any line of endeavor, and without which the mental powers cannot per- form their function properly. The relation of the mind to the bo- dy is most involved and most inter- esting. The strongest body, uncon- trolled by the mind, is an example of vast power gone wrong. A _ strong mind in a body marked by perverted, annatural demands, and weaknesses s a far sadder example of misdirected power, How often have we heard the indis- ‘retions of apparently well-intention- -d men ascribe to the fact that the ‘spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” It is an unwarrantable error o presume that in its very nature the flesh is weak, that its natural tenden- ‘y is toward unwholesome and unwise ippetite and desire. The truth is that strength of body makes for strength of spirit, that he who would be clean f mind first must be clean of body. Look into dens of vice, into sur- coundings where carnal appetites and febased desires are satiated to the utmost. The miserable physical wrecks we find amid such surround- ngs surely are not impelled to their ‘ransgressions by the uncontrollable iemands of the bodies. Consider their weak, miserable, repulsive, physical equipment and then you will find the source of their perverted impulse. Every child is a wonderful parcel of sossibilities. There are untold thou- sands of directions into which its mental and physical energies may be lirected in later life. He may be- ‘ome the best, or the worst of men women, a hunted criminal or an hon- vred servant of his fellow beings. No ‘wo individuals will pursue exactly ‘he same path of life, have the same aspirations, the same ambitions, the same failings the same disappoint- nents. But under normal conditions she one great aim and end is common to all: The development of those po- sitive qualities of the triune being that will best serve him in this life and prepare him for the life to come. The whole svory of life is given hy Longfellow in “The Builders.” All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. for the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled; Qur todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. {n the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the Gods see everywhere, Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen; Make the house where Gods may dwell Beautiful, entire, and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base: And ascending and seccure Shall tomorrow find its place. Chus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky. That which is true of the individual ‘s also true of the nation. No longer 's national strength measured by the trray of martial forces and fading slory of military heroes, but by the moral and religious standing of its ‘itizenship. In evidence of this is the march of intellect, national recogni- tion of Universal Peace and rapid vangelization of the world. One of Christianity’s greatest ser- vices to citizenship and to liberty was t complete separation of spiritual and temporal power, the divorcement of ‘*hurch and state. Thus Christianity lifted the most stubborn barrier igainst the expression and the exer- ‘ise of the citizenship. In the ancient iispensations the state itself had been defied and so completely associated with religion and government that cit- izenship as an active, creative func- tion soon decayed. Christ permitted no political significance to be connec- ted with His teaching. This does not mean, however, that His doctrines were without political influence, In- leed, Christ’s exhortation and exam- ple transformed the political, the so- cial, the intellectual and religious world. He wrought the most profound and universal revolution human af- fairs have ever known. He is the fundamental figure of all history. He transformed the human heart, em- yielded, and despotism fell. Today the freest and most progressive na- tions are those whose people follow Him. Our own country owes its greatness to the ideas of individual equality, of liberty unto law, of broth- erhood and love which His life eluci- dated. As long as American citizens keep within their hearts the image and the memory of His racked and mangled body the American nation will grow in prosperity, in happiness, and in righteous power. The International: Peace Commis- sion composed of delegates from ev- ery civilized nation in the world is holding annual convocations and con- PAGE THREE tributing materially to the cause of general arbitration and universal peace. It has remained for two of the lesser nations of the earth te give mankind the most beautiful example of prevention in the history of the world. In 1900 the adjoining repub- lies of Chile and Argentina were on the brink of war. In the endeavor to calm the passions of the hour and to arrest the crimson tide Bishop Bena- vente of Argentina in a memorable appeal on Easter Sunday pointed the angry people to the examples of the Galilean and urged the erection of a statue of Christ on the frontier unit- ing the two countries. The appeal was not in vain. It was agreed to submit the dispute to arbitration and King Edward of England was request- 2 dto officiate as arbriter. Both coun- tries accepted his decision without complaint. The effect of this peace ful solution of a question which would ordinarily have plunged the disputing aations into bloody conflict was magi- zal. Both republics began to disarm, Chile converting her arsenals into schools, devoting the millions com- nonly expended for battleships to the ‘onstruction of roads and bridges and other monuments of peaceful pro- zress. In celebration of the happy event both countries joined in the erection of a colossal statue of Christ om the loftiest summit of the mutual Xoundary line which traverses the ‘rest of the Andes. The statue was made of bronze and melted cannons, Inspiring thought! The engines of lestruction were dismantled and moulded into the features of the King of Peace. With one hand supporting the cross, the other pointing Chile, Argentina and the world to the ever- ‘asting heavens as if pleading for the time when war and hate shall cease forever, stands the Christ of the Ades .on the mountains that divide the lands where now the melodies of peace sup- plant the martial cry. On the pedes- ‘al is written this inscription: “Soon- 2r shall these mountains crumble to dust than Argentines and Chilians oreak the peace which at the feet of Christ the Redeemer they have sworn -O maintain.” God hasten the break- ing of the day when on the boundary of every nation of the globe a similar figure shall lift its warning finger to seach eternal love, unchanging broth- 2rhood and everlasting peace. oO. CAMPUS & FARM oi fe We are writing our news again to let everybody know that the Campus and Farm is still going on in spite of the hard work. We have lost Charlie Sears, the chief sheep tender; but we have a few more boys coming on to take the place of those that are leaving. The farm has been greatly improv- ed in many ways. The old shacks have been done away with and now we have new ones to take their place. The horse barn has been painted and all of the old fences have been torn down and new ones have been put up. We have also made a new coad. We have a lot to do on the farm aow, such as getting up the hay,hoe- ng corn and watermelons, tending -o the sheep, getting the soil plowed up for next years crops, helping the sheep keep the grass cut down. The ‘ampus group did tend to the flowers om the campus by it self but since we are united we all jump in and do it in a hurry. We have been plowing the feilds after reaping the wheat and barley jut it is slow progress with the mules ind one tractor. Fred Troutman is our tractor chauf- feur and he can handle that big baby like a cat does a mouse. We have two boys from other groups working their vacations on the farm. The boys on this group used to like for it to rain but the rain makes the grass in the corn grow pretty fast, and everytime we go to hoe corn we have a bunch of grass to cut out so the boys dont care whether it rains now or not. There is one thing we forgot to mention and that is the thicket we are cutting down. It is pretty hard work but by the time we write our news next time we will have it done.

Those of us who do not zo, get a good deal of pleasure out of the coming and going, too. Then there is always a lot of new hildren to get acquainted with. Then ve nearly always have lots of fruit ind melons to tear inte and help pass rway the time. This year our peach 4s just didn’t happen, but we had lots of peaches in spite of that. Twice we sent down to the Sand hills, and both times the messengers came back with 4a truck load of peaches, and we did ‘ertainly eat. Mr. Cochran, Mr. McDonald, and Mr. Wilson, all of West End, N. C., looked after us and made most of the lonations. A truck load is about fifty bushels, and each load lasted about six days. Then our movies week a dandy program furnished by members of the Charlotte Film Board of Trade. we have had each “Deeds of Daring,” “Don’t “The Yankee “Skinner’s Dress Suit,” “The Beloved Monkey,” Consul,” ea n OS Brute,” “Lonely Mary,” “Shore Leave’ ’ “Virginian,” and just lots of geod comedies. We had these is school building and have enjoy- have shows in our ed them all. In spite of the fact that most of the larger boys have been away, after supper tennis has been worked up to a white heat some days. Some of the youngsters will make some grown-up jplay mighty hard. ] Then right in the hottest part of the summer comes the Montreat trip, and we are writing this just two days before that mio- | sdevitous event. | j The number that go jon this trip inerease each year and the crowd of all this time. we are expecting very largest Church, Charlotte 45.00!

BABY COTTAGE SOTO OEE We, like every body at Barium, en- joyed the wonderful trip and day spent at Montreat. We appreciate the privilege of having such a_ splendid opportunity. Thanks to Mr. Johnston who is always thinking of us and giving us good times. Our holidays are fast approaching an end. Many of the children have had lovely vacation visits and are looking forward with pleasure to the opening of school. Several babies are still away on va- cation. Carolina Garret, our little Polly, had her tonsils removed last week and we are expecting her home from the Infirmary any tmie. Lillian Sanders is our newest baby, only two years old. She has been with us two weeks and is feeling at home already. Jack and Tom have had to give up being “our precious babies since Eve- lyn Coppedge, (also just two years old) and Lillian have come. Jack and Tom are three years old. Their birth- day was last Sunday(Aug. 7)and they count their age by holding up three little fingers, though they can count up to ten. Doris, Wilma, and Marguerite Ree have left Baby Cottage for Annie Louise. The babies were happy to see Es- ther, Avis and Maude return from their vacation. Lorena and Eloise have gone to the Woman’s Building and we are won- dering who will take their places. Lucile was delighted to have a vis- it from her beautiful baby sister re- cently. The babies were very happy to see Miss Helen Herman who came to spend last Sunday with us. Tom cried erribly when she left. Sunshine Martin has gone home to live with her mother. Ernestine and Polly are expecting a visit from their mother next week. We are all looking forward with plea- sure to Mrs, Garnett’s visit. Billy and the twins had their mother and grandmother to spend the day with them recently. Miss Lea is a very welcome mem- ber of the Barium family at the Baby Cottage. She makes the children hap- py with toys and flowers quite often. They scream with delight when they see Miss Lea, Mrs. Southerland or Mrs. Grier coming. Mr. and Mrs. Grier took all the ba- bies to ride not long ago. Mr. John- ston takes them riding so often they feel as if they own his car—as well as Mr. Johnston. P. 0. H.— Politeness Customer: “It’s really very kind of you to pick up the package I drop- ped.” New Clerk: “Not at all, ma’am. We men are getting tired of being accused of being polite only to pretty girls.” —The Progressive Grocer. Well every body is having a good time at Alexander. Some of the boys are making airplanes or at least they are trying to anyway. Most of the boys have come back from their vacation, but school will start soon and we all hate that. We all enjoyed our trip to Montreat and had a good time on the train. We are milking about forty-six “ows now. Some of our boys went to Jennie Gilmer last week. The weather is already getting cold. We are eating a lot of cantaloupes now for breakfast. The grapes will soon be ripe. We didn’t get so many peaches this year and so maybe we will get a lot of melons. Mr. Privette came back from his vacation last week. During his ab- sence “Buck” Jackins was the dairy DOSS. George Hand is getting hardboiled these days. Ed Siskron has become the strong boy of Alexander. Graham Long oe, (HREOHORDEOECHOIOR IRR HORROROHOND LEES’ COTTAGE . 2ECEC BORDER EHR OE OICACEORORCHD a Well all of the boys are back here together again. Most of them went 1ome and returned having had a good sime. Some of the boys worked their vacation. They didn’t seem to have a good time working. Those that have- vt had a vacation yet are going on a ‘amping trip some time this month. I guess this is pretty late to say anything about the “Dempsey and Sharkey” fight. But still it hasn't grown old up here yet. It seemed as if everyone was betting on Sharkey yut he lost to Dempsey. That does- vt matter anyway as Tunney will lick him September 25th. At least we hope so. Some of us don’t. Well we got to Montreat all right, but it rained so bad that we couldn't ave a very good time. We sure are having a lot of canta- foupes this season but if it hadn’t been for Mr. Thomas and his boys we wouldn’t have had this luck. Because of this we owe them a lot. Well I guess school is the best (7?) thing to look forward to now since the Montreat trip is over. Tomwalkers occupy the attention of the boys during playtime now. Those that donot make them and walk on them pitch horse-shoes during their leisure hours. We have some good pitchers. Swimming has gone to the bad now. You can’t hear the water splashing like you could earlier in the season. We sure thank Mr. Grier and his boys for painting our cottage inside and our beds too. Our matron and some of the other ladies here have gone on a fishing trip. We wish them every possible success. This time next month everyone will be practising football. “So long” until next month.

(By Dennis A. Boyette) Only a very few of the boys are a- way on vacation now. Morris Lee re turned today (Aug. 15). “AppleJack” Potter is leaving us for a visit of a week or more in the capital city—-Ral- iegh. Here’s hoping he has a good time. Mr. McMillan has returned for a few days. He intends to see the pre- liminary football practice started. This practice wil consist of only “set- ting-up” exercises for the first two weeks. After this the regular foot- ball practice will be started. Although only a few of the letter men are to return this year the pros- pects are not bad. Seven of the let- ter men will not be here to help out this year. This includes the stars of the last two years. Possibly Mr. Mc- Millan will build up a winning team anyway. He sure is equa! to the task. All talk of the Montreat trip has died down. The trip has been forgot- ten because we have so many other things to think about. But neverthe- less many of us had a fine time. Mr. Johnston is going to put it to a voie whether we will go to Montreat next year or not. I think the trip will be made. Almost everyone is in favor ot going again next year. The movies have been very fine this summer. Last Thursday (Aug. 11) we had “A Son of His Father”. This was an excellent picture. There was a lot of action in it and that suited the xoys just fine. I gues the “love scenes” suited the girls. Those scencs always ruin (?) a picture that is per- fect otherwise. Mr. C. F. McRae, a Senior of Davy- idson, preached for us last Sunday (Aug. 14). He took Mr. Brown’s place in the pulpit. Mr. Brown is a- way on vacation. His place was ably filled by Mr. McRae. Its only a few times in a lifetime that a person can hear a sermon as good as the one he gave us. I’m sure that the church that gets him as pastor will be greatly benefitted. Mr. McRae’s sermon was on “Shadows”. He likened our in- fluence to shadows. Shadows being something that we can’t get away from and also influence the same way. No matter who a person may be or what he does he is sure to exert some influence on some person. The in- fluence we exert may be for good or for evil. For this reason our actions should be guarded. It is not for us to say whether we shall do a thing or not ,we must think of the influence that we exert over some one. This act possibly might make a criminal out of the person who holds you up as their idol. I regret very much that I am unable to give this wonderful sermon word for word. As it is I have only given a few of the points that remain in my memory. I’m sure that every person that heard this sermon feels their responsibility more than ever. I feel certain that every one in the Home will join with me in saying that we all hope Mr. McRae wil! soon find it possible to return to us and give us another wonderful sermon. School will soon start and most of us are glad. After so long a time at vacation we all become impatient when we return. We forget about va- cation in school and so it is a great help to us in that way. School of course becomes monotonous also after some time. All this just shows that human beings can’t be satisfied any- way. All the news has run out and so the end must approach. Hoping to be abie to write again next month. ——-P.0.H.- WHAT BOYS REMEMBER A Group of successful men were once recounting the scenes and in- fluences that had stayed by them since youth through their struggling manhood. One said his dearest mem- ories clustered about the old apple tree by the kitchen door where his grandmother sat and sang familiar hymns of old, while she sewed and darned. Another said that the mem- ories of a certain corner in his boy- hood’s room always called into ac- tion his best thoughts and highest motives. That corner was covered with pictures of great men and wo- men taken from the newspapers and magazines, unframed-simply fastened on the wall with flour paste—but their influence had never been effaced Still another said,“When ever I sit down at a dinner table, be it a grand banquet or a simple restaurant, the memory of my mother’s table comes back to me and I once more see the plain vase with a few green leaves and its spray of pinks or its sprigs of mignonette, shedding a sweet ben- ediction upon us.

There are quite a number of children that come into the Orphanage that that out- l fitted at the start from the second We are with two clothes. Fi secon are entirely outfit a child continuously from see- ond hand clothes. It is not good for the child at all, and it also teaches the child extravagance while appearing to be a thrifty habit. The child looks on the second hand article as some- thing of little value and treats it as such, We wen’t enter into any lengthy argument of the other evils of cloth- _jing a growing child altogether in se- cond-hand garments. ‘Thre fidS been argued by more able pens than ours with statistics by -the thousands to | back up this argument. As a result of al! this, we have each year, of our own second-hand clothes quite a lot to send to Crossnore where they are sold and thus made use of in that way. Now, when anyone sends ug second hand clothes, it is simply sending us something that we have more of than we know what to do with, and our thanks for the gift is entirely for the impulse and the thought on the part of the giver and not at all for the gift. Occasionally, Auxiliaries and _ in- dividuals get it into their heads that we want second hand clothes. We do not want second hand clothes. Some- times a matron or other worker at the institution will be quoted as authority for this statement. The person getting the information in this way has simply gone to the wrong place to get it. We have here over forty matrons, teachers and heads of departments. Some of these have been with us a long time and they know all of our policies in the most minute detail. Others may not have been working with us more than a mounth or two. They may have come from institutions that use second hand clothes entirely. They may come from institutions that will take any sort of a gift, even a second-hand organ, with thanks for fear of offending the giver, and when they are asked as to whether or not we take old clothes, they sometimes immediately reply, “yes” and this is quoted to an individual or Auxiliary as being authoritative. We regret that it isn’t always possible to in- struct a*new worker in all of the poli- cies of the institution on the day they come in. USually the first two or three months are kept more than full in getting them straightened out on the handling of the particular job they are on, and if the people seeking this information would come to the office and ask either the Manager or his secretary, or Miss Lea who has charge of the Clothipg Department, or Miss Clark who has charge of the Sewing Room, or Migs Adams, the Head Matron, they would be inform- ed fully and correctly on these mat- ters. Recently we have heard so many Teports that the various Auxiliaries were working on old clothes collec- tions for us that we feel it necessary te put this full information in the columns of the Messenger. The idea of raising the children here at the orphanage is not to see how cheaply they can be raised, but to see how well they can be raised and even far more important than running the in- stitution economically, ig training the tion | t. | SUNDAY VISITS BARIUM SPRINGS THE INFORMATION OF ie*s FRIENDS OCTOBER, 1927 Number One ILD CLOTHES ‘ fo of i eee teh eeteteeeeteteetectenee DP dee dectecte seated cteoteteeopepeate . : es = HERE is a question that Al EXAND ER / 1? \ + is tks & svtion AL XA ANTHROPOIDS : Sy that keeps bobbin up,/*,..000 0... ciel = like Banquo’s Gh " is ls Je of os mane a a oe ee ae whe Whe whe whe whe ae he he he oe oe os abe nfo ote ode obs ode af ofe PEELE Eh hhh dehees ITTLE but mean. they fill out their The hard losers in the first fight. uniforms they will be Varsity stuff.

In 1925 Synod met Mooresville; in 1926 the meeting was at Statesville. On both of these occasions we were privileged to have this fine body of men take a meal at Barium Springs and get a look over the plant. This year, while meeting near us, they are too far away to be our guests for any part of the time. Synod, this year, meets in the new First Presbyterian Church at Concord. While Synod will not be as near as the last two years, we believe that this meeting will mean more for Barium Springs than any meeting of recent years, because we believe that there will be a better system of financing arranged for the sup- port of this institution. The business of raising money for all of our Church causes sometimes gets to be such a big job that it looks as if the entire activity of the church is spent in that direction rather than in saving souls. This should not be, and if itis possible fora sensible of financing at system that is fair to all of the Causes, to be outlined and put into effect we hope that this will be done at this meeting of Synod. Our church people are pros- By perous. There may be depress- ions here and there; but as a rule, over the entire Southern Presbyterian Church there prosperity. Our people are good people; they are generous, and there should be no reason why the Benevolences of our Church should shrink while the general prosperty of the members is increased. There is just some- thing wrong with the machinery and we hope that the meetings | of our church courts will, with | Divine guidance, get this - | MONTREAT Mrs. Wm. F. Frankfort, Fowler Ky. Oh, Montreat is a Rest-time Set ina year of care, It truly is a Blest-time For alt are happy there. When morning songbirds wake And streamlets lull to sleen While woods and high peaks take To hidden secrets deep. is ue Oh, Montreat is a Test-time When everybody's true, Where young folks have the Best-time And old folks grow young, too: Where mountains rise in splendor And cooling breezes blow, Where sunshine warm and tender chinery perfected. i yi Makes flowers with color glow. Any business that would em- ploy a man to do a job and then| expect him to spend half his time or more getting funds to| finance that business would soon go into the discard. And yet, that is what the church seems to require of the Heads of the various Causes and In- stitutions. It takes their best efforts to keep the money com- ing in and sometimes the dregs of their ability only are left for the administration of the affairs in their charge. If it’s better business meth- ods we need, let’s pray that our leaders may have a vision from | on high to show them these| methods. If it is more religion we need, let us pray for a whole soul revival to open our minds to our duty. Let us not feel that the money Oh, Montreat is a Near-time, Near to higher things, A self-forgetful Dear-time When every soul grows wings.

Since last year we have sent quite a few girls and received an equal number, and everything is going good in the cottage. We surely have to study hard this year! Every night several girls ask for the clock so they can get up early to study. We expect the teachers are glad since it shows we are trying to do our work well. Football is in full swing now, and we expect big things of our team. Why they even held down Winston- Salem High last Saturday (Sept. 17) to a score of 0 to 0. Winston Salem expected to mop up the earth with us. We are to have seven games played on our field, and it is a great big field and a splendid place to root and hav« a good time. Get you a season ticket and come over and have a good time with us. We would be glad to see you. P. 0.

The figures for i924 are as follows: Amount spent for to- bacco, $1,847,000,000; for soft drinks and ice cream, $820,000,000; for thea- ters, movies, and similar amusements, $934,000,000; for candy $689,000,000; for chewing gum ,$87,000,000; for jew- elry, $453,000,000; for sporting goods toys, ete., $431,000,000; for perfumes ind cosmetics, $261,000,000. Our ex- penditures for luxuries increase enor- mously every year and it is logical to say that the 1926 figures would go far beyond those of 1924. The estim- ates were prepared by the Research Division of the National Education Association and shows what every state spends for the luxuries named. The figures are appalling, especial- ly when it is recalled that on all sides we are crying out hard times. What if the people of the United States would spend one-fifth as much($5,522- who need it as it spends annually on each of its many luxuries!

Se EOE RRO ROR REECE, BABY COTTAGE DECRORORCEO ROH At last, vacation is over and we are back in school again. Everyone that had a nice vacation was eager to start their studying for another ten months with the hope that next summer would not seem so far off. We are hoping that this school term will be the most successful one we have ever had. Ali of the babies with the excep- tion of the four youngest are going to kindergarten and our two oldest ones are going to grammar schooi. Several of the children enjoyed a short visit from their mothers this month. They were Evelyn Coppedge, Rhoda and Milton Daniels. Ernestine and Polly Garret spent two weeks with their mother in Greensboro. Pol- ly is improving every day since her return. She had tonsils removed be- fore going away. Our family is a great deal smaller now than it was last year. We only have about twenty-three babies and seven large girls. Three of them came to us recently from the Wo- man’s Building, and they seem to like it fine. Well, since school has started every one wants to have the excuse “Too busy to write much,” so look for more in our next issue. BABY COTTAGE GIRLS. r. ©.

There’s something al- ways taking the good things out of life. I don’t mean that its really a hard thing to write news, but it sure is a hard thing to tackle when you have nothing to write about. Any- thing doesn’t suit some folks. I found that out last month. School is running “full speed ahead” now. It is time for the first monthly reports to come out. We all hope we are on the Merit Roll, but Latin is taking it’s toll. This will ac- count for many of us not beiuy on the Merit Roll. Maybe we will master this language some day (?). If it is possible for any one to teach it to us we are sure Miss Baldwin is fully capable of the task. As a whole. school is running along smeothly. We are looking forward to the world series and the remainder of the football games, We are willing to say this—that the New York Yankees will win the world series—that Da- vidson wins the State Football Cham- pionship—and that Barium Springs will win the orphanage foot>ail title of the State. The football season thus far has not registered a win for us. We have played the Winston-Salem High School team. They were just able to hold us scoreless for the whole of the game. We threatened to score about! cwo or three times. Winston threat- ened our goal line once. It would not be doing justice to Winston to say that we have a much better teain than they, but I believe that Barium is the best team considering the weight. | [his game was played on September | 17th. Reid Brown was the outstand- | ing star on the defense and olf. Then on September 24th the foot-| ball team journeyed down to Char-| iotte to play their team. Charlotte | completely outclassed us. They won} oy the score of 30-0. They sure have a fine team. It is as heavy as some) of the college teams. Maybe this | will account for the licking that they gave us. j Weekly scrimmages have been held with the Troutman High School team for the past three weeks. Troutman is showing up better than ever before. But I don’t believe it is capable of do- ing what it’s suporters think it can. { certainly don’t believe it can win from the Barium team. Of course, { am a regular rooter for Bariura, but any person that sees the two teains in action will concede the point that Barium has the best of the two. We regret very much _ that the Thomasville Baptist Orphans have cancelled their game with us. We hope that they will be able to play us sometime in the coming season. We have been enjoying the sermons of Mr. Woods, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Salisbury, very much. He preached for us during a week’s revival service conducted in Little Joe’s church during the week of Sept. 19-25. He is a fine preacher and we hope he will be able to come and preach for us again. Today—Sept. 27th—Jno. Robinson circus came to town, and of course, small boys and girls here went.

Barium Springs took on another big one Friday, September 25rd. The team was not in quite as good condition as when they played Winston-Salem. The Center and one Halfback did not get to enter the game due to minor injuries that might have been aggra- vated by a hard game like Charlotte. Barium Springs, however, was clear- ly outclassed going against a high school team that could give most colleges a fight on equal terms. Our team was in there fighting to the last, however, and played the game well enough to get the following com- mendation from the Coach of the Charlotte team: “I want to congratulate you on your team and also Coach “Mac.” You have done exceptionally well with the limited material. I also want to con- gratulate your boys on their excellent fighting spirit and not only in our game in the face of defeat but also at Winston where they should have been victorious with the exception of We will face Charlotte again next year on approximately the same date. 0. H.——— de + CAMPUS & FARM o> + Folks, here we are again trying to write a few words to enlighten the people of the adventures of our most noble and learned groups. Mr. Cavin, our boss, is going to move up here from Troutman. The boys have been fixing up the outside, putting up fences, etc., and our chief carpenters, the Messrs. Nesbits, have improved the interior of the house quite a bit. We are putting quite a lot of hay in the horse barn and also the dairy barn. Both the silos are filled and we had lots of corn left over: Our new hog pen is finished and it sure improves matters. It’s easy and simple as can be now to feed the hogs. We've got a couple of pens of hogs that won’t live so much longer if it turns cold. Reid Brown, one of our boys, went into a confectionery shop and got im- patient at the lack of service. Final- ly, he said, “Hey, fellow, who waits on the nuts.” Wiggie Ayers was going to see his girl and had to have some hair tonic to improve his looks. He went to the drug store in Troutman and here is what he said to the clerk. “Boss, sell me a nickle’s worth of hair ton- ic.” The clerk replied, “What are you going to do, put eyebrows on a flee? It costs a dollar an ounce.” We've got lots of lime to put on the fields, about four car loads in fact. We've got it stored up in our wagon shed. - One day Clarence Clark said to Ab., “Ab, I see that your mule has U. S. branded on his right hind leg. I suppose he has been an army mule and belonged to Uncle Sam?” “No suh, dat U. S. don’t mean noth- ing "bout Uncle Samual; dat’s jes’ a warnin’. Dat U. S. jes’ stan’ fo’ ‘Un- safe’—dat’s all.” “Cannonball” Kerley, our speed ma- niac, challenges anybody under ten years of age to race him in one mile run. He wants to break his old re- cord of one hour and a half. Our football team got beat up by Charlotte Sept. 23rd. It must have been because ‘Cat’ Wilkes ate too much before the game. We do the lining off the field for them. Several of our gang are on the team. We've gotten several new things to work with recently. A new lime spreader and a new drill along with a lot of new shovels. Well, enough of this chinning for once. We'll try and tell you more of ourselves next month. Yours alfal- fally,— THE GANG. ——-P.O.H. THE VALUE OF A SMILE It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, with- out impoverishing those whe give. It happens in a flash and the mem- ory of it lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the, weary daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and natures best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is some thing that is no earthly good to any- body till it is-given away! And if in the rush, someone should be too tired to give you a smile, won’t you leave one of yours? For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give! —Selected. BARIUM LICKS DAVIDSON HIGH 26 TO 0 Black and Gold Tornado Is All There Despite Early Season Intimida- tion That It Had Quit Being \ Tornado Statesville Daily, of Oct. Ist Playing a snappy passing game and displaying a world of driving punch the Barium Black and Gold Tornado lived up to its name Friday aiternoon when it defeated the David- son High School “Red Jerseys” 26 to 0. Some say the Barium tornado quit veing a tornado when it surrendered Jour of its star players this season to che Davidson College freshmen squad. some say the team is not near so rood as it was last year. Some say t is green to the ways of football. But you can’t make the Davidson High kittens believe it. It is the same old tornado—plus. Plus a little nore more driving power, a little smarter thinking and 1 bit more confidence, all of which esult from good coaching. Boys who iave been playing football sinc daring, a little they rawled out of the cradle pe ‘or the first line trenches whe hey tre needed, come what may. So it is already established that the cornado is all there this year, even hough at times they play without a single substitute in sight. Barium’s dassing attack is surpassed on by -heir ability to wriggle through the ine and skirt the ends for long gains. But the passing was superb. Had the ceceiving end been as expert as the starting end the score might easily ‘ave been doubled. The Davidson team was good to ook at, but it could not get going. It rever threatened being on the defen- sive throughout the game, outplayed ind out-smarted at every turn. Barium’s next game is at Concord Wednesday afternoon, when and where the tornado hopes to stage a garade for the enjoyment and edifica- ion of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina. After that comes he red letter date with Statesville High. Brown and Jackins, as usual, had 1 big hand in Barium’s victory. The work of these backs featured the con- vest as they ripped the Davidson line to pieces. A touchdown was made in juarter. Jackins made two, Brown me and McKay one. Extra points were made by Brown and McKay. Squires and Hudson, ends, played a rood defensive game. Potter, guard, also did fine work. Johnston and West, of the second team, worked well while they were in the game. Davidson completed only one pass and made only three first downs. —P.0.H.—-—_ | CLOTHING MONEY each ‘Continued from Page Three) Beg. and Pri. Dept. Washington 3.75 J. C.

F you desperately needed to get the ear of the entire member- I ship of the Presbyterian Chureh and this opportunity was giv- en you for, say twenty minutes, and you felt that for that twenty minutes every ear in the Presbyterian Church was listen- ing to you, we wonder if you would have a case of stuttering and be unable to say what you wanted to say? Well, that’s somewhat the way we feel when starting this particular editorial. This is the last issue of the Messenger that will come into your hands before the Thanksgiving offering. This is the last message we will have for our readers until the Thanks- giving contribution is a thing of the past. This is our last chance to get a message over to you that is so vital that when we think of the number of things that we want to say, we have a case of menta! stuttering, so to speak. The Thanksgiving offering for the last few years has fallen off. Last year only Thirty-Hight Thousand Dollars was con- Committees having to do with this and by Synod. Various plans were suggested for changing the rather confusing method of fi- nancing byeither putting it entirely on the bud- get, or taking it entirely off of the budget. Neither of these plans seemed to meet with the approval of the majority of Synod, and it stays as it has always stood; 714% of the budget with an equal amount to be contributed by Thanksgiving contri- ~ butions. This year, we need Sixty Thousand Dollars through the Thanksgiving offering to simply hold our own. There is a tre- mendous debt carried over from last year that ought to be re- duced. It will take over and above Sixty Thousand Dollars to reduce this indebteduess. If it were possible for One Hundred Thousand Dollars to be sent us at this time, we would start out for one time free of debt, and we believe that the Orphanage would continue free of debt if this were done one time. Now, is such a sum beyond the realm of the possible? Let's think of that just a moment. We have read during the last few days two booklets—one “North Carolina, the Fifth State,” gotten out by a department of the State Government. One, “Piedmont Carolina,” gotten out by the Duke Interests. The information in these books is astounding. Of course we have always known that North Carolina is the garden spot of the world. But this shows that our wonderful resources are being developed and that our wealth is being increased at a faster rate than any portion of the Globe. It means that within the last thirty years, the wealth of this section has increased so greatly that the figures are almost unbelievable. Now, in this increase we know that Presbyterians have shared. The Seventy Thousand Presbyterians in North Carolina are, as a whole, richer than they were thirty years ago in just a- bout the proportion that this whole section has increased. We wonder if each Presbyterian contributing something like $1.50 would bankrupt this wonderful section? This, as you see would mean a contribution of $100,000.09. Now, facing that argument I know many of you will say that so many of these Presbyterians are young and unable to pay any- thing; that they are in families. Well, we know from our own statistics that there are Sixteen Thousand Presbyterian families in the Synod of North Carolina. These Seventy Thousand church members are contained in those Sixteen Thousand families. If the whole family should raise an average of $6.50, this would pro- duce that Hundred Thousand Dollars. We wonder if this amount represents the average income of one day for a Presbyterian fam- ily? For a number of years, it has been the custom for the various Orphanages of the country to ask their supporting constituents for a contribution of one day’s wage at Thanksgiving time. One day’s income from all the people of North Carolina would amply take care of every Orphanage within the bounds of the state. We know that the Presbyterian Orphanage would be most abundantly taken care of if this basis of giving were used. Is this asking too much? Let’s answer that question. In studying the statistics of North Carolina , we find that there is one department of Public Welfare that seems to be on the decline. There is no county, to our knowledge, that is planning any increase in size for this particular department. A good many counties are planning to improve their plant, but none are planning any enlargement. We refer to the County Homes for the Aged and Infirm. In fact, several counties have found that their number of old paupers have decreased to such an extent -— Siar nS 2 oe ment of their own. This means the direct material saving in tax. It means an even larger saving when all the facts are known be- cause there are fewer people unable to make their way and finish out their life course caring for themselves. Does it occur to any of you that the reason for this may be the increased care given by the State for the sub-normals, and ab- normals and the increased care of the normal children given by the various Benevolent Organizations in the Orphanages for the raising and educating of children who otherwise might in later years become public charges? The work of caring for normal, dependent children is not done by tax money. We hope it never will be. It is a work whose bene- fits are so self evident and the doing of this work is of such a plea- sant and profitable nature, and by this we do not mean profit in dollars and cents so much asin the satisfaction of seeing people develop into useful citizens, that the support of institutions of * ° es tributed from this scource, and as a consequence, the finances of this kind should not need the urge of the tax collector or assessor | this institution are in a very bad shape The matter of making a to raise money to carry it on, "4 change in our system of financing was discussed by the various The more intimately a person is associated with the work of 4 un orphanage, the more enthusiastic supporters they become of this work. In the various denominations of the State there are many prominent men connected with the various orphanages; men that are famous in other lines of endeavor. -It may be tn the realms of finance, politics or church. If you want to see their faces really light up with enthusiasm get to talking to them about the orphanage with which they are connected. The Hon- orable Josephus Daniels is famous in a number of lines, as a great editor and also as a statesman. If you want to see him get enthus- iastic,don’t start talking the Navy, or the News and Observer, but speak of the Raleigh Methodist Orphanage, and he will talk you to death. If you really want to get Col. Andrews of Raleigh to turn loose, get him started on Oxford Orphanage. The Hon. Z. V. Turlington of Mooresville, is prominent in a number of ways. Several famous Laws on our ‘statute books carry his name. If you really want to get Mr. Turlington to talking, get him started on the Presbyterian Orphanage at Barium Springs. We might give you similar illustrations without number. The people who may be lukewarm toward orphanage work are those that know the least about it, that get their information possibly scrambled up with a lot of other ideas that may be relics of a bygone age or a far distant section of our country because all orphanages are not like the North Carolina variety. We might say in passing that all orphans are not like the North Carolina variety. Some of our people are held back from contributing from two mistaken ideas. One is that the orphanage is not in need of money. Please look on the third page of this paper and get the answer to that. We need it so badly that the work is being crip- pled for the lack of it. There are twenty-three children less here now than there were six months ago, and we have applications pressing on us fromall sides. The reason the children are not here is because we consider it suicidal to continue to run into debt without the money in sight to relieve that debt. Another criticism is that the orphanage is wildly extrava- gant. The answer to that is also on the third page. There are figures there compiled by the Duke Endowment, (and these figures are accurate) to show that this particular institution is below the average in the per capita cost of caring for its chil- dren. We have been abundantly blessed in every way. It seems that our crops and orchards yields more each year, only in the one department of our finances are we going backward and it rests with you, good people, whether this retrogression shall con- tinue. Weare trying in this paper to reach every one of you to remind you not to neglect your orphanage this year. The need is desperate and unless there is a generous response this year, we fear that the hurt done the institution will be permanent. Don’t let criticisms hold you back. If there is a doubt in your mind, come to Barium Springs and get it settled. One minister did that. He read an article we had in our paper and he came, him- self, to Barium Springs to get his mind clear. Everything was thrown open to him. Our accounts, every department showing the way things are done, and the way material is handled so that he went back so firmly convinced that we were right that he told his congregation in such a convincing way that they sent us the biggest contribution we have ever received except on Thanksgiv- ing Day. If you see a man drowning and calling for help, there may be doubts as to whether that man is faking or has some ulterior motive in his cries for help. You wouldn't wait to investigate all this before giving him a hand. Give us the same considera- Fe Loeb . » ' oe be ua EL I T " Pp s s eb in cb i S a e n ub e wi e n ne e O N D Bo e .

Mrs. Ghigo had a visit from her daughter, Anita, who is teaching in Glade Valley High School. We all enjoyed her visit with us but she didn’t stay long enough to suit us. We all had the privilege of going to the John Robinson Cireus the other week. My, but it was great. We -ouldn’t hae enjoyed anything better than that. We certainly appreciate Mr. John- ston’s letting us go. He is always so shoughtful about the children.

Mrs. McCrimmon came to see John Cole and Hugh and she brought us some candy. We enjoyed her visit. Ben Morrow went to see a football game at Davidson. We were glad he got to go because he works in the morning and missed the circus when we other boys went to see it. Oscar Clark asked Miss Taylor what kind of fur that was on her coat She told him it was a red fox. He said, “It must have been a mighty old fox for it has grey hairs.” We enjoy having the student mat- rons visit us. They tell us stories and thats what we like at Synod’s Cot- tage. This is all our news. Billy Martin It’s not much of a_ time to write news as this is a rainy day, and the dairy boys are hanging around the cottage and keeping the place all dir- ty as fast as we housecats can clean up. They bring mud in the house on their shoes. We are getting along fine now. It’s a little cold for outside play today, and we are spending our time firing ‘the boiler and keeping steam up. Edward Siskron spent the week end with his mother“in Charlotte and she gave him a new football, and now that boy challenges anybody to kick with him. He wants to break his old record of five and half yards. _ The dairy boys are working hard in school this year with a purpose of cabbaging on to prizes offered by Mr. and Mrs. Privette. We don’t know whether we can sound out a winner at this time, but Morris Freeman is making rapid strides. We have been hunting on several occasions this fall and have caught eight squirrels and later tamed them. We can furnish the squirrel food for them. So long, NORMAN POTTER.

Ss im pa sh nm ae n m e n k ff PE Pe ee ee e BAR snitiniDN CESS — Mrs. W. R. Grey, Concord Presbytery, not eligible for re-election. REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS; OCT. 1, 1927. On “TOBER Ist, 1927. The year just closed is the first year unde which no new buildings have been erected. Carrying out the instructions of the Board of Regents at its spring meeting, even the minor construction of outbuildings has been held to a minimu:n and only such work done in this line as we found necessary to care for the increased farm products. More attention has been given to lawns, looking to the beautification of the place and to the farms. You will note from the Annual Statement that the 1926 net yield of the three producing departments at Barium Springs was $13,519.00. We be- lieve that the 1927 yield will be even larger in spite of the total failure of the fruit crop. The McDonald Farm in this its first year in operation, will show a fair return. The operating expense to date is $10,722.53, with credits as fol- lows: $2.301.52. The cotton now being picked will probably yield $9,000.00; corn $3,000.00; potatoes $2,000.00; cotton seed $1,500.00. After storing enough grain and hay for feeding until next crop and holding enough seed for planting, there should be a net profit from the farm of $6,000.00. We believe that future years should be much better than this. The Hutchinson Farm will probably show an increase for the year yield- ing a net revenue of about $800.00. The Ingram land, possibly $150.00. Some improvement is being made on the former of these two pieces of land, none on the latter. Every effort is being made to sell both of these farms. : The income of the institution has been a little better for this first half of the church year over last year. The Churches, Sunday Schools and Auxiliar- have contributed $7,000.00 more than for the same period last year. There has been collected about $2,000.00 more than the average from rela tives and trust funds toward the support of particular children. On the other hand there has been collected from Le gacies over ‘this period only $283.74. But for the fact that we started the year so heavily in debt, the financial affairs would be in much better shape now than in recent years, at this stage of theyear’s business. Every Presbytery shows an increase in contributions except Orange. Population At the end of school there were 377 children here, 13 were graduated 25 others left for various reasons. Only 15 have been received, thus reducing our numbers to 355 There are applications on file a but until the meeting of the Board number down. In the handling of these applications, we find the invaluable. The information obtained in this way has enabled us to more intelligently pass on all applications and has kept us from accepting many cases that should not have come to us. A brief report of the first 14 months activities is as follows: r the present management in ies nd being pressed from every Presbytery, and Synod, we thought it best to hold the work of the case worker July 15, 1926 to September 1, 1927 Number of applications investigated 116 Number of children involved 362 Number of people interviewed — | Miles traveled 27210 Total Expense $2,924.96 Results Reiections Cause 92 Relatives able and willing to support. 95 Other agencies better suited to relieve the dependency. 38 Withdrawn after a clear understanding of Orphanage aims. 7 Sub-normal. 7 Over age. Still Pending: Accepted or Placed on Waiting List: 22 101 Health Each year we go a little farther into the physical examination of the children. Each year there seems to be even more to do. This year for the first time we have had a general tuberculosis clinic. The result of this showed 74 positive reactions to the tuberculin test. These 74 were X-Rayed and given careful physical examination. The final results showed five cases of insipient tuberculosis necessary to have Sanitorum treatment, and twelve cases for treatment here. This clinic lasted two weeks, and cost the Orphanage about $100.00. We are now preparing for a thorough dental clinic. Then eyes, and throat. During the year, we check up on hookworm and other stomach parasites It seems almost a continuous performance. Yet with all the care we exercise in safeguarding from disease, we have had prolonged epidemics of mumps and measles and have now scarlet fever and whooping cough. There has been no serious illness for a year, and no death. School The attached report gives some interesting statistics as to promotions and cost per child as compared with other instutions. We feel that the best evidence of the value of the school’s work is in the quality of its graduates. There are fourteen who finished the eleventh and twelfth grades in 1927. Of these, three girls are taking training, three have work as stenographers, one as office clerk. Of the boys, one is part time employee of the Orphanage, and a most valuable one and will be offered full time work at the end of this year. Six boys are in the present Freshman Class at Davidson and from reports from their teachers are so far doing excellent work. The handling of the athletics and recreational features has been done most satisfactorily by Mr. McMillan of the High School Faculty. The departments all show show some improvement, although they all have still room for further improvement. One change made during the year is the supplying of clothes for the High Schooi Girls. We are trying the plan of furnishing all garments for the High School girls from the sewing room. We hope to eliminate in this way one very source of trouble We are making an effort to improve the food without adding to the cost. We hope to accomplish this by increasing the number of hogs and in raising of beef cattle. Sheep and Bees have been added and show prospects of being profitable.

This has borne good results, and, al- though there will always be some cases when the individual will only be controlled or made to study through the fear of punishment, these cases are becoming the exception rather than the rule. A statistical report is given you and this shows that the progress in the schoolroom compares favorably with public school work. I believe that the average percent of promot- ions is in every case higher than that in most schools. This is due to the work of the teachers in the special grades. I consider this the most im- portant work done in school and I be- lieve that the teachers in charge of these three grades are the best ones we can find for this work. The pro- gress of the high school pupils was very much marked and although, in a few cases, possibly there might be lack in thoroughness, yet the char- acter of the work done was far above any years work in the high school since I have been in charge of the school. The work of the departments of the high school work need special com- mendation. The course in domestic science has proven highly satisfact- ory the past year. A very valuable course in this subject was given which was of both practical and cultural value to the girls. The kind of work done by the commercial department is of very practical value and the students in this department show each year an improvement over the sharacter and amount of work done by the preceeding class. The work done by the athletic director has had a marked effect on the health of the students as shown by the attendance records and also on the morale of the student body. The instructor in in- strumental and public school music did excellent work along this line and the children made marked progress in these subjects. This applies to the grades also as well as_ to the high school, School opened this year with every evidence of success and there has yet been nothing to indicate that this will not be the case. There were only two changes in the faculty and these in- dicate that the work done by these new teachers will be equal to, or better than, that done by the teahers who did not return. The eighth grade has been divided in order to more equally divide the number of girls on the work groups. The Special Ele- mentary grade was shifted to the morn ing for the same reason. The divid- ing of the eighth grade was done with a good deal of apprehension on my part, but much to my surprise, the results are excellent and I believe they will continue to be satisfactory. The teacher in this grade, although new to Orphanage work, is doing excellent work and has readily become an ac- -eptable member of our large family. The following recommendations are made: First: That as soon as funds will permit the high school building be re- plastered in the hall and other minor repairs be made. Second: That, if a sufficient num- ber of this years graduating class plan to go to college, another years work be given them, similar to that given the class last year. Third: That some plan be devised to broaden the commercial course to include more work in English and such other subjects as will give them a broader cultural education.

All the combined brains of the Stewardship Committee y eral other Committees toiled over this matter quite at length.

Just get that day’s income idea fixed in your mind several days before and have your check already written out and send it to us, if you come prefer, before hand. Whatever else may not be clear, one thing is most painfully clear and that is that the Orphanage needs your help at this time.

Every Presbytery, except one, is ahead of the same date last year, and the Synod as a whole is 11.7 cents ahead, or about $7,500.00.

We believe that this is an indication that the Thanksgiving offering is going to be bet- ter than for several years past. There was a time when we first commenced publishing this table when we used at the head of the third column, “Amount Ahead or Behind per Member.” We would like to one time use the heading “Amount Ahead per Member” with every Presbytery showing ahead, instead of every Presbytery showing behind as it is now.

This didn’t defeat Belmont nor Branch either, for in the second half | Branch Boy tossed a couple of fort: j Yard passes, that put his team in po- | sition to score, and the final record of the game was Belmont 13, Barium 6. All of the players of both teams played well. Jack McKay getting off punts under most trying situations, his last from the six inch line going for a total of sixty-eight yards. On Saturday at Belmont there was a different tale to tell. Our 100-Ib. Charley Sears aggregation staged a fracas against a team slightly larger that resulted in a 20 to 0 seore for 3arium. We haven’t room to tell all the brilliant plays in this game. Pitt- man ran the team well, Estridge and Shaffer were tackling like old-timers. Miles and Jim Johnston were poison to the other team’s punts. Joe John- ston completed a pass and intercepted one, and all the rest did their stuff like veterans. Sears intercepted four passes, and completed too many to only weighs &0 pounds, but it always took 250 Ibs. to stop nim, By the any way, this team challenges team anywhere with no player exceeding 110 pounds in weight.

There is something of all of these feelings in our attitude of mind in this, the day be- fore Thanksgiving. We have done all that we could to let our wants be known over the entire Church. We feel that the friends of the Orphanage have been more than usually diligent this year in trying to impress on ev- eryone the need of a_ bountiful Thanksgiving contribution. The sus- pense of waiting the outcome, the ver- dict of our people is painful. There are so many things that need to be done that cannot be done until the people by their money vote, by their vote ex- pressed in their contributions say for us to go ahead. During the past ten days this sus- pense has grown more and more strained until we can hardly wait to see what is going to be the results. There have been certain things that have happened during this period of suspense that shed rays of light and encouragement into our lives. One of these things is the increasing num- ber of individuals and churches that are sending in their contributions ev- en before Thanksgiving. The Gleaners Class of the First Church, High Point made a splendid contribution to the Orphanage and brought it themselves —$400.00—and that is already in the bank and helping us tide over the very critical financial situation that a on : BA always exists just before Tuanksgiv- | ling. Steele Creek Church, with their | | usual bountiful contributions of chie-! |kens, flour, and other things, arrived |two days earlier than usual. Old Mac- | phela Church in Lincoln County has | already sent in her contributions. | Gastonia First Church has sent money to furnish turkeys for the entire fami-| ly for their Thanksgiving dinner. Ala- mance Auxiliary of Greensboro, has | sent in money for cranberries. The Carolina Ice Cream Associa- tion, through three of its members. The Catawba Creamery, The South- ern Dairies of Salisbury and the Sal- isbury Ice cream Company of Salis- bury have sent us in the ice cream to finish off our big dinner. All of these things make us feel good. If they are just an indication of the way the rest of the church is going to respond to our needs, we | believe that we can have a year long Thanksgiving at Barium. The gifts mentioned are just a few of the many that we have received at this time, a complete list of which are shown in another column of this i paper. Except for our whooping cough patients and one scarlet fever patient, the health of the institution is fine. There seems to be every reason for Thanksgiving on our part, and we are all deeply grateful to God for the many blessings that we have enjoyed at His hand from day to day. We wish to thank our generous friends all over the state, not only >of the Presbyterian Faith, but of all other that do so many things to make our life here more pleasant. We have been struck by one thing, more than any cther in connection with gifts to Barium. We_ receive donations in money and in other things from peo- ple of every Faith. Whether they be Jew, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist. Presbyterian or what not, they seem to get a joy from the doing of these things for Barium Springs that makes the reception of their gifts a supreme delight. It is good just to stop and} think of these things and Thanksgiv- ing is the time of all times to do this. P.O.H. | CAMPUS & FARM | Well, folks here we are again this month. We are waiting for the holi- days and St. Nick now. Hope every- body gets a stocking full. We've been killing two hogs a week for the last four weeks and that has been keeping us pretty well supplied with sausage. We will kill a good many more as it gets colder. to Barium from Troutman. He seems to like his new home preety well. We have been cutting and sawing a good bit of wood lately. We are stock- ing everybody up around the place with wood for the winter. We have already sown our wheat and barley and we expect to have a good many bushels when threshing time comes around. Mr. Nesbit, chief saw and hammer artist of our group made about five hundred crates for the truck farme to stere their large crop of sweet po- tatoes in. Here’s one of Reid Brown's pet verses. A clatter and clash A sling of da hash A smash of the dish A twirl of the mustache. A loop da loop A slop da soup Wink at da ladies No give her da hoops. Mr. Cavin heard somebody in his chicken house the other night. Willard Ayers was talking to ‘Goat’ Bobbitt the other day, and said: G. Ayers: “When I get married I’m going to get a girl that will take a joke.” G. Bobbitt: “She will, when she takes you.” This is about all the news of our gang this month. Hope to tell you more after the Christmas holidays. P.O.H. “Have you given him anything or done anything to relieve him?” asked the young doctor, who had fared into the backwoods to see a patient in the dead of a stormy night. “Well, no, doc—that is to say, nothin’ to speak of,” said the wife of the patient. “I had him soak his feet in almost b’ilin’ water with a red-hot plaster on his back, and another on his chest, and I’ve put a couple of blisters I had in the house under his arms, an’ a bag o’ cracked ice to the! back of his neck, but I didn’t feel like as if I ort to give much o’ anything, until you come an’ see what you think ailed him.

We are herewith giving a very brief summary of a most honorable record of our teams this year. You will note that there are very few defeats. The season started off for our Big Team at Winston-Salem. This is a game in we are always looked upon as a surt loser. However, this year we played Winston-Salem High to a standstill, the final score being 0-0, with Bariun threatening to score. A week later we met the big Charlotte High team that has since made such wonderfu! history. We suffered there our worst | ; defeat, being romped on to the tune | of 30-0. “We felt a little badlly about this at first, but since Charlott’s re cord, we feel that we were rather for- | tunate to hold them down to that} smali score. A week later, we open-jnir ed on the home grounds against our old friends and rivals, the Davidson High's. This game resulted in a 26-0 victory for Barium. ‘Davidson had : little more weight than we, but ou boys showed better training. Just flve days later at Concord we played| a tie against another Davidson coach- | ed team. This game was between two teams strong on the defence but} | neither with enough offensive pun: Nie to score on the other. The next game at Barium was a | gainst our old neighbors the States-| ville High. This was a thriller, the | final score being 13-0 in favor of Barium. This doesn’t mean that Statesville was not in the contest, be- cause they were and their subsequent | record in the State Elimination show | that they had the goods. Barium | just out played them that day. j One week later on the Barium} grounds, Lincolnton High and Barium } had the game of the sason. The charged up and down the field and ii the field had only been ninety yards long instead of a hundred, the scors would have been about 18-18. As it} was it was 0-0. | Both teams repeatedily put the ball within the last five yard zone, but were unable to carry it over. Ther« were thrills from start to finish in this game. The game with Lincolnton wound up our regular High School schedule. We next took on China Grove Farm life school on our home grounds. China Grove is a big good looking team, but were not quite fast enough for our lively crew and the final score was 31-2 in favor of Barium. The two being the first score made against our team on ¢t me grounds this year, and was the result of a blocked kiek behind the goal line, the ball be- ing recovered outside of the End Zone by a China Grove player. The next week, we played Harmony Farm Life School at Harmony. This was a hard fought game and at times Harmony threatened to take the lead. The final score was Harmony 0; Barium 21. The next game was our \first Orphanage Championship Series in which we took on the Winston Methodist Orphanas at Barium. This | is the first team that we have played} that we outweighed, and the little} Methodist team certainly did give us run for our money.

Since then, they have improved every year until they stand well up in Junior College circles. They have defeated Monroe High, Hickory High, Mount Pleasant In- stitute and Catawba College. They won from us by the same margin they did from the heavy Catawba College crew. The final score being, Belmont 18; Barium 6. Belmont not only outweighed us twenty pounds to the man, but has one of the out- standing Junior College players in the state, in atriple threat go-getter named Branch. Branch can _ pass, kick and run with equal success. Our last game of the season will be the finals in the Orphanage Cham- pionship. This year it will be against the Raleigh Methodist Orphanage, and will be played on December the sec- ond. We hope to print on the first page of the Messenger the results of this game. | So much forthe big team. Now for the Mites—120 pounders.

Characters—Dr. Boyd, Superintend- ent; Miss Boyd, his daughter, matron; Little Joe Gilland; Jack, his friend. Time—Sunday morning, 7 o'clock, Feb. ist, 1904. Place-—Small upper room on_ third floor of Synod’s Cottage. A bed, heavily covered, is on the left side of room, with the head toward the left end of the stage. A window, closed and shuttered, is on the right. Near the bed are a plain table and straight chair. Upon the table are a Bible, a hymn book and a small purse. Little Joe Gilland is lying in bed, with his friend, Jack, on the bedside, when the curtain rises. Joe—I wish I could go to church every Sunday like you, Jackie. If on’y I was strong enough to— Jack—Huh! If you had to walk to Troutman every Sunday, and get eracked over the head every time you snoozed in Church, maybe you would be wishin’ different. Joe—But you shouldn't speak that way of Church, and besides, it ain’t right to snooze in Church, Miss Boyd says. Jack—-Anyway, we have to save ur all our pennies and put ’em in collec- shun, I betcha I’d have at least a dollar by now had I kep’ it all. Joe—My Testament says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and Miss Boyd says so too.

If it wasn’t for Mr. Johnston we just couldn’t get a- long. He let us go to the Lions Min- istrel at the Playhouse Friday and it was fine. We certainly enjoyed the program. Nellie Whitlow seems awfully anx- ious to have her foot look like they are swollen up and because they don't swell she puts these soft rubber balls in her shoes and wears them like that just to say her feet are big.
