Long Ve The most del_bhtful feature about this Home-coming Day was the presencc of Miss Celeste Boyd. Her presence was no doubt responsible for the large gathering, and was certainly responsible for the enthusiastic attitude of a good many of the old-timers. And then Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Walsh, known and beloved by a younger generation of Barium people, were also present. Unfortunately, these gooc friends could not stay for the entire meeting, and so missed some of the fellowship. As usual, there was an unbroken chain from the beginning of the Institu- tion right on to the present time. Mr. George Hipp being the only onc present at this time, who was here with the original group of children that the orphanage opened with. He was here when the Fergusons entered. The Fergusons were here when the Crockers came, and so forth. This would he a great time for a historian to get a history of the Institution. Home-Coming Day for 1930 was set for December the 26th. The officers elected were: R. S. Ferguson, President; Jim Gray, Vice-President; Thelma Fraley, Secretary and Treasurer. The Association, among other things, voted a hundred dollars from their treasury to start the erection of seats for the new football field now in process of construction. The Association alsc expressed itself sponsor for athletics of all branches and will do all in their power to encourage attendance at the various games in which Barium partic- ipates. —-. 9s 8° 8 8 Rumple Hall 31—Happy Has Santa RUMPLE HALL, Dec.

Sadie Harris Memories of Home “I would like to wander o’er hill and plain, Where the flowers on the hillside, Were blooming in the rain. Where our fathers and our mothers Each shared their every care, Just across the field yonder— In that humble home so dear. The mocking-birds were singing, And the robins made their nest, Around that home we used to gathe With the ones we loved best. Methinks I hear my father singing, As in days of yore, And my mother, singing, praying, 1s she often prayed before. Memories ’round that old home linger Where we used to romp and play, The turtle dove sank so lonely, Nearby at break of day. The family ties are broken, Here in this world of care, The remnants that are left of us, Are scattered for and near.

C., January 1930, CHRISTMAS | O try to enumerate all of the pleasant things that happened in connection with our most delightful Christmas season _ would be to fill the Messenger several times over. We won't wt- |tempt that, but we do want to mention a few outstanding things |that contributed to the joy of the occasion. First and Fundamental: The Auxiliary of the First Church | Raleigh did their part as first substitute to Santa Claus in their }usual perfect manner. Every child was remembered with just the | things that he or she wanted. We wish we could let everybody get a picture of the delight of the various youngsters in opening their Santa Claus packages. For instance, at Synod’s Cottage, there were about six cow- boy and policemen outfits. The various boys that had asked for these things were so delighted in getting them, that they stripped off their other clothes and were proceeding to don their Christ- mas presents utterly oblivious to the visitors of both sexes that had come in to witness the Christmas doings at Synods Cottage. Those little chaps couldn’t see or think of a thing but just that special present. But we must not dwe Il too long on this one thing. There was 4 big barrel of candy from our good friends at Lexington, the Lexington Candy Company; Fruit from a number of sources, the ‘argest single donation being from Mr. R. E. Simpson, General Manager of the Southern Railway. The Southern Railway, by he way, is always doing something nice for us, not confining hese attentions to Christmas times. , One of the most delightful occurrences happened here several lays before Christmas. A car drove up with two ladies and a whole flock of children. I think we counted seven. Everybody thought it was a new family coming to the Orphanage, but it wasn’t quite that. This family said that they came to play Scnta Claus to the children. Everyone of these seven children had saved ‘p some money to give the children here that were least likely ‘o have a big time Christmas, something extra. They brought their gifts in money, and when they turned ‘t over to us for our use, there was $25.15 in cash—not promises. By the way, this family’s name was suggestive—A. A. Cash- on from Wilkesboro. We hope that this splendid family: had as nuch happiness Christmas as they brought into the lives of a wmber of children here. Their gifts and the way they nade their gifts is just something pleasant to think about ali the oar. It will help offset a lot of talk about hard times, and other “iscouragements that might come our way. The usual box of presents were gotten off to the little Moth- r’s Aid family at Morven, North Carolina, and we received hree most beautiful letters from the three little girls in this ‘amily. On December the 26th, we had the largest Horae-coming athering that we have yet had, and it was a most delightful oc- asion. We who live at Barium enjoyed every minute of the day nd not the least of our pleasures was in seeing the evident de- ‘ght that the former Barium children had in seeing one another nd renewing old acquaintances. We are giving elsewhere in this saper a list of those attending this meeting. Then, lest we forget, there was that fine snow that acted as “ough it were just sent for our special benefit. Often a snow ymes when we are so busy with our work that there scems no ‘me for us to enjoy it; but this time it came right at the begin- ing of the holidays, and then sleet on top of it just to make it rfect for sledding, and it was about the most enjoyable single ing that came during the holidays. If all the mileage of all the ‘eds was added up, it would certainly go around the Globe at ast once; and in this connection, we are also delighted that 1ere Were no casvalitics from this hilarious sport. It’s true veral boys got up too much speed to stop and went head-on into ie branch. Several others sideswiped the barbed- wire fence; 10ther sled got out of control and went through a herd of cattle. -veral sat down on the boy riding the sled and another play- ily kicked him in the face, but outside of spoiling his looks for day or two, no serious damage was done. Now, we could burn this particular article up and write an itirely different thing and then do the same thing over again nd still would not mention all the delightful things in con- sction with our Christmas holidays. Just before Christmas we received a gift from the Men’s ‘lub of the Second Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, that has al- ‘vady given us a great deal of entertainment and will continue 0 do so. This is a splendid Radio Set which we have installed n the Auditorium. We use it in connection with our picture shows nd other public gatherings there. The set isa Sparton Equazone nd it gives volume enough for some four hundred people to hear lainly while we are gathered for the picture show. The Talkies 1aven't a thing on us now. All in all, we have enjoyed Christmas so wonderfully that he smile will be on our lips when school takes up December 31st. ind we believe it will last right through the whole school term. We think each year that we can never have quite as nice a Christ- nas as the one we have just enjoyed, and then the next one comes ulong and we seem to enjoy it even more. Our Christmas season hat we have just passed through is certainly the most delight- ful one that we have ever experienced. We wish it were possible ‘o acknowledge each individual gift, and to reply to the thousands vf good wishes expressed to us by letter or post card. We will ‘ave to lump them all into one big THANK YOU, and hope that chis paper reaches your eye. Barium Springs, N.

Its people | have been described as unique, in that they have held fast to the Anglo- Saxon traditions of their forefathers, | who were among the first settlers | on this continent. They have pre- | served the traits and traditions of the} past to a marked degree, even in the | midst of changing order. They are} home-lovers, except for the compara- | tive few who would not be satisfied | anywhere. There are nomads every-| where, but among native North Caro- | linians these are almost negligible. However, the spirit that dominates | North Carolinians has not been a bar- rier to progress. This State has de- | monstrated that high ideals do not | constitute a handicap. Further, it has | not become so super-progressive that | it is willing to abandon the worth | while things in life in order to soften the tongues of higher critics. During the past decade North Caro- | lina has made a greater ratio of pro- gress than any other State in the Union. It has shaken off its old leth- argy and has leaped to the forefront. The transition was marked, but it was accompanied by no spectacplar methods. This insures the perman- ency of North Carolina’s position in the ranks of progress. It means that it will not have to mend weak places in the path of its advancement. State’s Work Thorough North Carolina's work in bringing itself to its present place of preemi- ence has been thorough, measured by human standards. None of our real leaders have claimed to be super- human; none has boasted of a super- mind, but all have shown a spirit of earnest cooperation that has made advancement possible, Strange as it may seem, few have risen to Say “It can’t be done”. While its scores of factories, into which capitalists have safely invest- ed more than a billion dollars, turn out finished products worth a billion | and a qu.rter annually, North Caro- lina remains primarily an agricul- tural State. Industry has not crip- pled agriculture; neither has agricul- ture curtailed the progress of indus- try. Each works in harmony with the other. They are inter-dependent. State Highway System During the past eight years, North Carolina has spent $156,000,000 in the building of a highway system which now embraces 9,200 miles. The money for this has not been derived from taxes on real estate or personal property but from those who actually use the roads. North Carolina levies no ad valorem tax on the homes or personel property of its people for purely State purposes. This form of taxation is left to the local subdivis- ions, for local purposes including schools; but even in the case of schools, the State, through its equaliz- ing fund, supplements funds in weak counties. Thereby these counties are enabled to meet the schoolastic re- quirement imposed upon them. Twenty-nine years ago North Caro- lina was spending only a million dol- lars a year on its log-house school system. Last year it spent $35,000- 000, including $26,000,000 for operat- ing expenses and $9,000,000 for new buildings. The log school house has about disappeared. So has the old one-room school house. These have given way to modern buildings of the $50,000 type and upwards. Roads and Schools ; Good roads and good schools have} helped the farmer probably more than; any other class of people. The towns | have always enjoyed school system | ranking from fair to good. Most of them have had a certain number of paved streets over which their child- ren could walk to those schools. Even before the days of automobiles there were street cars in the larger com-! munities. But the same cannot be said of the rural districts inhabited by our farm population. In many sections of North Carolina, until the construction of a dependable highway system, the schools were compelled to close in severe winter weather. In many communities, there were no schools near enough to attend. This defect was never thoroughly remied—- not even after the highways were constructed—until means of trans- portatoin were afforded. With the in- troduction of the school bus, which was made necessary by the consolid- ated school, attendance began to im- prove. North Carolina today trans- ports more children in school buses daily than any other State in the Union. The toregoing statements were that a view of impressing upon lis- teners the importance of North Car- olina’s progress from the farmer’s standpoint. Farming Important Business Too many people have been in- clined to look upon business as a thing confined to the centers of pop- ulation. Such is not the case at all. Farming is as much a business as banking, maufacturing or any other legitimate line. In fact, it is vastly more important than any of these. The banker is respected and his busi- ness is considered vital because he devises ways and means of financing other industries. But the farmer feeds and clothes the world. If the banks should all close, the world would be thrown into pandemonium. If the farmer should abandon his im- portant task the world would starve Increase In Farms It must be borne in mind that North Carolina is essentially a State of tarms. During the half-decade, from 1920 to 1925, there was a shrink- 50,000 and 100,900 age of between | tarms throughout the United States as a whole. Despite this significant fact, North Carolina, within that per- lod, showed a gain of 13,000 farms. fime will not permit a lengthy dis-| cussion ot this fact. However, here is one conclusion that may be of in- terest. This increase means that our people have been diversifying and that many of the farms which were formerly too large for intensive cul- tivation have been cut up into smaller tracts the purpose of increased production. Of course there is no more land in North Carolina’ than there was in 1920, but it is being more judiciously utilized to meet the needs of a growing population. for Variety of Crops North Carolina is capable of pro- ducing practically every form of veg- tation tound from northern Florida to Canada. While many have held to the not.on that cotton and tobacco the two crops upon which our -armers must depend solely for a livelihood, this idea is entirely erron- cous. Diversification has not reached a point sufficient to satisfy its zealous advocates. There are long steps in in this direction. But much has been accomplished and the money yields trom crops in the diversified class have been slowly but surely creeping up on cotton and tobacco incomes. During the year of 1928, North Carolina produced cotton that brought approximately $74,000,000, and its to- are bacco crop brought approximately $96,000,000. There are large sums of money, to be sure, when taken in lumps. But here are some of the to- tals realized from diversified crops: Corn, forty-four million; wheat eight million; rye, a million and a half; barley, nearly one million; sweet potatoes, more than six and a half million; Irish potatoes, nearly seven million; peanuts, nearly ten mil- lion; tame hay, more than fifteen mil- lion; apples, more than four and a half million; peaches, nearly two mil- lion. The above are a few of North Caro- lina’s diversified crops. While North Carolina has never claimed to be a Utopia, either for the farmer or the urbanite, yet all of its people are advancing. It is not simply a good place to live, but a better place to live.—State Agricultural Review. 6 e a € Cou nter ‘ “From the Hand @ , that Keeps the _ World Informed” = 228 88 .- Se Mother: “Mary, loaf of bread I sent you for?” Mary: “No, the store was closed.” Mother: “It couldn’t be this time of day.

Some of our girls have gotten new shoes, and hope the others will soon \*y theirs, too. We are very sorry that Miss Braw- jley left; but we are glad to weleome Miss Moore back with us. Two of our girls, Hazel Morrow, and Phillippina Salvaggio, went to | Winston-Salem Presbyterian Church | and they reported a grand time. The ladies of the Auxiliary were very good to them.

Can you’ imagine it? \ll of our girls are going shopp'nz ind we wonder who's going to be the recipients? Hope old Santa is as good to every one as we are hoping he’s going to be to us. Miss Adams is just getting over a spell of sickness and we are real glad very few of our girls have been sick. and we hope we will not be (before Christmas at least.) The only cause for being sorry to see Christmas is that we know two weeks later Mid-Term Exams come along. Still we are not going to let that mar our happiness now. Pay Day! At last our dream is rea- lized. Yet all of us are saving the larger portion of our money against future neeeds. Isn’t it nice to have friends who love us so well that they send us money and nice things? We appreciate it lots, I want to tell you. What do you know about this? Our basketball team played Stony Point High and beat them! This was the first game of the season too. Oh boy! They are all pepped up to beat Win- iton-Salem High Saturday, Dec. 14th. We'll let you know how it turns out, By the way, did you know that four of the varsity were coaches ? Esther Archer coaches the senior girls who did not get their letter last year; Ed- na MeMillan coaches the juniors; Ruth Freeman coaches the sopho- mores; and Matoka Torrence is coach of the freshmen. All report promis- ing teams. The Domestic Science departmert is giving the football boys a banquet Tuesday, December 17th. Yum, yum, boys, don’t eat too much. Mere news next time. ; Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Katherine Kerley expects her moth- er for Christmas.

FISH—De You Know That Siam is noted for its famous fighting fish, which change color in mortal combat? Their normal coloring is a faint salmon pink, tinted at the head, fins and tail with a delicate blue. When they are about to close up for battle, their bodies take on a bright pink hue. At the height of the combat they have changed to vivid purple, green, and blue colorings. The fish are only three inches long, but would tear each other tto pieces of permitted. That a religious fish has been caught off the coast of Zanzibar? On one side of its tail are the words, “La-ilaha-illa Allah”, meaning “There is no God but God”. On the other side are signs corresponding to “Shan Allah”, which means “Gods Work” or “An act of God”. The signs are in the lan- guage of Islam, which experts say is correct, therefore proving the fish to be a devout Moslem. That a chameleon fish that lives in tropical seas is able to change color instantly to harmonize with its back-ground ?—Jefferson Quill, Cleveland, 0. OLD EASTER CUSTOMS Have you ever wondered how the date on which Easter falls is fixed? There was a long dispute in the Christian Churches as to the proper time for holding Easter. The argument was settled by the Council of Nice in the year 325. The Counciu set Easter for the first Sunday after the next full moon which appears after March 21. If the full moon appears on a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after. Before the rule was made, the Christians of the East had celebrated Easter on the same day on which the Jewish Passover fell, while Christians in other parts of the world celebrated it the Sunday after that date.—Jeffer- son Quills, Cleveland, O. SETTLE DOWN TO WORK Think of it!—But two short months remain of the school year. To some this may mean the anticipation of a long vacation when all classroom worries are forgotten.

The only trouble with any student who is registering failure, is that he has lost confidence in himself and may feel that he is not up to as high a_ standard as is required of him—But if you stop to realize thaat students are graded according to their mental capacities, you realize that you too, must be up to this level or you would not be in the class that you are— | Consider your problem from this angle and then settle down to real con- centration and effort and at the end of the two months that remain you'll find that you're equaal to any examination the examiners may prepare, ~—Peekskill (N, Y.)

We're having some pretty nice wea- ther here. The trees are beginning to get their leaves(at least some of them are), Our pear tree is so pretty now. There are quite a few patients down here now. Ruth and Bessie seem to be permanent. Ha! ha! We are glad to have Misses Patter- son, McDade, down here with us We hope the, oy staying here. Mrs. \icuirt has left us to take charge of the Baby Cottage. The In- firmary was sorrry to lose her, but we know she will come back and visit us lots. A new boy was added to our number Saturday, his name is Clarence Ro- bards. We hope he will enjoy staying here. When little Lillian Saunders was taken to the hospital to have her ton- sils taken out, she sang for the nurses and doctors. They could hardly believe she knew so many songs. We will have to stop the train, for space is limited. —MAC 2 os eS > SO > > To a p > wy Barium Springs, N.

Barium High girls, the team with a smooth passing attack, a team of destiny, is winner of the Third An- nual Series between these two friend- ily rival sextets, having won the first two games and the series. A fighting ‘lan that refuses to surrender when the clouds were blackest early in the rame, today is King of the great in- door game for girls teams of pied-| mont North Carolina. It was an amazing and courageous -omeback that won the series for Ba- rium, after Troutman had taken a six- point lead in the early stages of the ‘ontest and seemed as sure of winning as anything in this uncertain world can be The score at one stage in the early part of the first half was Troutman the old guard. Up the slope they came, snarling, growling, fighting their way through all obstacles, The Troutman yirls, surprised by the sudden fury of a team that had been so docile at first, wavered before the charge. Doggedly they fought back but the storm engulfed them. The Barium zirls were at last on their way. With the Troutman lassies leading 8 to 2 as che second quarter got underway, the Barium team got under full steam. Two points,two points, two peint! With monotonous regularity Barium was sinking them. Now they were just two points behind. Now they werc even. Now they were two points a- head. Again the score was tied at 10 all. And its a minute and three-uaters before the end of the first half. Sarah Smith of Troutman sank a field gold. Then she committed a foul and Barium made good a free shot to bring her score up to within one point of a tie as the first half ended. At the begin- ning of the second half, both teams ‘ought hard for possession of — ihe leather. As the third quarter ended. Barium was leading by a 19 to 15 score. A desperate rally by Troutman n the final few, waning moments of the game brought them to within ear- shot of a tie score, but time was fleet- ng fast. Mary Smith for Troutman received a pass under the basket and caged a goal to bring her team within a point of tie score, 24 to 23. As the ball was again put back into play at center the timer’s whistle ended the contest. Barium had won by one littl point, which, however, was as big as Mount Mitchell so far as effectiveness of it was concerned. It would be an impossibility to pick an outstanding star among two such splendid girl sextets as both teams played a hard game. They fought al the way through the contest for their team. It was as thrilling a girl cage tilt as one could wish to see. Both teams are outstanding in this section of the state, the Troutman girls being winners of seventeen consecutive victories, winners of the Irdeli County High School girls basketball cham- pionship and district four Conference Champions, while the Barium girls hold victories over such outstanding teams as Winston-Salem High, Mitch- ell College, Union Grove High, Char- lotte High and Hickory High. This brings to a close one of the most successful seasons for the Barium and Troutman girls teams. Lineup and summary: Troutman (23) Winecoff (4) Barium (24) Torrence (6) RF M.

Fr. 0. H. Days I Do Not Worry About Here’s a little sermon preached by 1 minister on “Three Days I Never Worry About”, which every brother should cut out and read when he feels blue or gets a grouch on. He said: “One of the days I never worry about is yesterday, simply because I ‘annot change it if I would. I did the best I knew how yesterday, but ‘ven if I hadn’t, what is the use of rying over spilt milk? Yesterday was mine; now it is God’s. “Another day I do not worry about is tomorrow. It is bound to come, and, if I dread it, I am simply weak- ning myself when it arrives. The vest plan is to prepare yourself for he future by improving the present, ind then, when it comes you will be ceady for it, and it will be eager for you. Doors of opportunity are bound to open for prepared men and women. “If I do not worry about yesterday or tomorrow, why should I worry about today? Why should I worry at all? Make it your practice to live one day at a time, and see how finely t works out. “Any man can say ‘No’ to tempta- tion for just one day. Any man can fight his battle today. Any man can bear his burden for a day. If he loes that he will find himself able to do it every day, and be the winner in the end. If we try to live two or three days at a time, one of them will upset us. “Look backward for inspiration; look forward for progress; look around you for material for stepping stones to higher things, and never despair. A man’s house should be on the hilltop of cheerfulness and sere- nity, so high that no shadow rests upon it, and where the morning comes so carly and the evening tarries so late that the day has twice as many golden hours as those of other men. He is to be pitied whose house is in the valley of grief between the hilis, with the longest night and the short. est days.”—American Odd Fellow, { 4 : i a Bo e Be e Ti A al no t 6 pi Fe t t ie : Sn ae EL 24— pring birds rd to and farm were merit much pro- moi. d the lock- week and them then who ecer- nday ‘ellie best Jane ladys st in noon ry to “ame lum - We i are nth Tell, len’t ast, like day des re- ‘ial ver blay off pur rst blis us iby er er BARIUM SPRINGS COMMENCEMENT OPENS SUNDAY A.

SPRING ATHLETICS We do not get up quite as much en- thusiasm over the late spring athletics as we do over fall and winter. How- ever, they are extremely interesting, and we will give in brief the results of some of our Meets. Our Track Team has been very suc- cessful, considering the opposition they have met. We had one meet with Statesville which resulted in a tie. With North Wilkesboro, we were de- feated by two points. With Hickory, we were victorious by 20 points. With Gastonia, at Barium, the score was 55 to 44 in favor of Barium. A return meet at Gastonia, resulted in a 47 to 43 victory for Gastonia. Right now our smaller boys are busy qualifying for the Junior Olympics. We have had several meets between boys of the different cottages, one of which Alexander was victorious by one point; another, the meet between the morning Dairy Boys and_ the Afternoon Dairy Boys resulted in a tie. Our girls have taken on a new ac- tivity. Usually at this time, they have to confine their activities to Tennis; but we have a right respect- able Baseball Team that has defeated Charlotte High School girls twice. the first score being 15 to 13; the second time, 21 to 19. They have also defeated Salisbury 6 to 5. These figures just counts the runs. We) haven’t found anyone yet that could quite keep up with the errors, nor to tell just what was a hit. However, it is a great game, and we have man- aged to get up more enthusiasm over it than some most interesting Track Meets. As a rule, our boys are smaller than the teams that we compete with, and it seems strange that this year we should be winning in the weight events, and losing on the Track, but such is the case. Billy MacKay has stepped out in front with the Javelin. Lester King with the Shot-put, and quite a bunch with the Discus. Her- man Clark seems to be our most con- sistent runner, and usually brings home a first place from one of the sprints. ' P.O.

Lots of people think summer brings nothing but flowers, vacations and good times. On the farm that’s when the boss goes to calculating on his work. There’s the alfalfa, looks like it wants to be cut down and hurry and grow up for a second cutting. You know the wheat don’t stay stunned. Corn planting, which is now being | done, is one of the first and most im- portant things.When this is done, there is the wheat to reap and thresh, corn to cut and back in the woods for the winter. However that’s very far) off. Think of all the things at present to do. The football field was looking bad but not because we had not been, working. It was because there was) a huge ditch dug across it. This was about eight feet wide and five deep. Two rows of fifteen-inch terra cotta pipes were laid in, never to rise again, because of the amount of dirt piled to cover it up. The dirt taken out was put on the edge of the fill. When this: field is finished it will be a cracker- | jack, It is well drained and in a nice location. The colored workers think their future relatives for three gen- erations hence, should get admission to this field free, because of the hard | work they’ve been doing on it—so far | Well this football field is certainly | a big job to do, while you’re farming. | Everybody has quit singing the seoop pan blues and saying it won't be long now. Toe’s Fordson got all puckered up and went to crying, so | it had to be put in the shed. All the new-grounds are in good condition to plant corn on. All roots and sprouts were cleaned off. I don’t know the exact amount to be planted but aad around thirty five or forty acre | We'll have loads and still more loads | of alfalfa. It is almost ready to be, out now. But the barns are waiting | to be filled. They’re dry and kinda | empty ooking. The campus, which is kept up by) this department, is looking fine.

We hope our readers will study this | yarticular Table of Comparisons, and | f you find your Presbytery on the de- cline, please see if your Church is | ‘esponsible for any part of this. One; of the things that hurts us particular- | ly is the fact that the two ana Presbyteries have shown the greatest lecline. As to effects of this particular sit- uation on us: In the year ending March 31st, 1928, we were able to re- duce our operating deficit, $8,819.40. [In the year ending March 31st, 1929, in addition to having a smaller income from the churches, our income from other sources was also greatly re- duced, so that our deficit was increas- ed $17,799.24. At the close of this | year, there will be an increase in our deficit... We hope it will not be as great as that of last year. We will! give you these exact figures in the next issue of the Messenger. Our books are now in the hands of the Auditors, and these figures will be presented accurately next month. We can only give you an estimate at this time. Our receipts from other | sources than the churches have been larger this year than last, but never- theless, there is going to be an in- crease in our support deficit. We have this additional handicap this year; in that our creditors are not}! inclined to carry us further, We are having to retire our notes in the bank | and we have no way of getting along during the next seven months other shan by contribution. Heretofore we have been able to borrow. Our expenses during the three sum- mer months are less than they are during the balance of the year. Our expenses run about as follows: $6,000 a month for June, July and August. $10,000 a month for the other nine months of the year. We are cutting down our school year to nine months for the next year n ah endeavor to lower our’ expenses somewhat. We can't get away from he fact, however, that we must have enough for running expenses daring | Barium Hi Finals To Begin June Ist. Announcement of the program for Barium Springs High Schov!

The first of the month, we had two visitors from Hampden Sydney, Va. John K. MeGirt and his friend Mr. Sleden Baker of Washington, D. C. Both jare students at HampdenSydney. Recently all of our big girls have been to the movies over in Statesville. They enjoyed their trip very much. Ona April 14th all of the babies ate breakfast in the big dining room, and gave the chapel program afterwards. The big folks said that we did it nicely. After the program we were ewarded by Mrs. McGirt and Miss Scoggins who took us to church for the morning service. In the after- noon most of us went to walk with Misses Scoggins and Ford, and others with Mrs. Grier. All of us had a levely time and bid for another walk with them real soon. When we came ba‘k from our walk we found Mr. and Mrs. Bob Collier paying us a visit. We enjoyed them very much and want them to come to see us again soon. Most of our babies want- ed to go home with them. Spring is really here and you bet we are glad, for when the sun shines bright and it is real warm we stay out of doors and play all the afternoon and come in early, tired, hungry, ready or our bath and bed, We have two new girls, one a big girl, Mary Beaver, to help with the ‘abies and a little girl, Flora Mae Smith. We welcome them both to sur ranks and hope that they will en- oy being with us as much as we en- oy having them. We are so glad to say that all of our babies are well again and back from the Infirmary. We always miss them when they are away. Tuesday, April 15th, Miss Hanna and Mrs. McGirt with six larger children of the home and six of our babies went to Mocksville to help give a program before the Winston-Salem Presbyterial. We had a fine trip and all the folks were lovely to us. All the babies want to go again. John K. McGirt came home for the spring holidays..and he and his mother went to their u.d home in Roberson or the week end. ————P. 0.

The member of at Bariv (Special to The Messenger.) the improvements and changes that have been made in this In- stitution since the year 1916. Then there was only nine buildings on the campus which included Annie Louise, Synods, Rumple Hall, Lees, Howard, Boyd Cottage, which is now the home of our principal, Mr. T. L. O'Kelley, Little Joe’s Church, School Building, Office, and Alexander; while the natrons were Mr. Walker, Superin- tondent: Miss Maggie Adams, Howard, | Miss Miller, Annie Louise; Miss Me- | Fachen, Lees; Mrs. Grier, Synod; and | Miss Moore, Round Knob, Round Knob was a place for boys who worked on | the dairy to live while Alexander was | voed as the Laundry and the printing Cffice. At this time we only had a snall Infirmary, which is now the home of Mr. and Mrs. 8.A. Grier, our nechanie who came to the home i S$ -ptomber, 1916. Then the real and present Infirmary was the first building to be built after 1 entered the Institution. This was © ected on the north west corner of che campus just at the right time for the | ii thuenza epidemic that swept tn Lastitution. Miss Della Brown was th: yest nurse to enter this hospital. The vear of 1918 brought Mr. E. Me s Hyde to us as the Principal of the S-hool. Since Mr. Walker gave up the | work the following year, Mr. Hyde tuok it over and was Superintendent u itil 1922. Then we got our lucky break. On Jaly the first, 1922 Mr. J. B. Johnston, kiown here as “Daddy Johnston,” cime to be the Manger. He has made the Institution what it is today and he deserves his share of the credit. In the first place his name just spells success aid that is what he is. New Buildings on all sides of the Campus! Among these was the largest of the cottages on the campus--Lottie Walker, where the lerger girls live, and the Laundry. And again in 1923 Jennie Gilmer fer the high school boys and the Baby Cottage. Now the campus was growing so fast that we decided we would nee: another School Building which went under construction in the fall of 1926. By this time Annie Louise, Synods, Lees, and Howard ‘ere completely remodeled and overhauled. Alexander being partly burnt down was converted into a home for the dairy boys with the Printing Office on the ground floor. With thesee improvements th. Institution had grown until it had a- bout three hundred and sixty children, and more knocking at the doors. Next we get our underpass which} is very convenient for the children. | Yo make the campus more stately | looking a fence was put along both | sides of the highway and planted | roses to run up along the fences. With all the grounds sowed with grass and! some trees planted we have a very | beautiful campus. Ow our farm there have been score: of acres added which has given us many improvements both in stock and farming lands. Among our live stock we have horses, cows, hogs, sheep and a poultry farm. We kill as many as fifty hogs a year which furn- ish enough meat to carry us through the season. We have milk three times per day which makes the children healthy and wise. On our truck farm) we raise all kinds of fruits and vege tables which carry us through the summer and fall months. Then about our sports. Before Mr. Johnston came to the Institution, ten- nis was the only sport we knew any- thing about. He brought with him sports for both the girls and the boys, which included football, basketball, track, baseball, provided us with a swimming pool, as well as giving us u moving picture show once each week, which is one of the modern means of education. Now when you look at him you will understand why Barium has put out so many winning teams in the past years, and will con- tinue to do so as long as he remains here. The latest change on the campus is our new football field which has been made entirely by the boys of the Institution. Many thanks to the friends who made this possible. The field is located across the railroad in an ideal spot and before long will be covered with grass and ready to play on by next football season. Now for our school work. We have eleven grades of school, going four hours a day, ten months a year, and think we have the best teachers in the State. During the high school career here, the school offers a complete Commercial course which has for many years been a success with a first class teacher, Mr. R. L. Johnson, as well as a straight course so tl you can enter college. It also offers |‘ would be impossible to teil all the class of 1930 who had been longest m Springs.

Although the children have grown in size, the Church remains the same. People come from nearby towns for each service and there is not room enough for all the children of the Institution. Besides the Sunday Morn- ing Service, we also have three Young People’s Leagues which meet every Sunday evening and Prayermeeting on Wednesday evening. And now as others fill the places ef those who are leaving this spring, we are still hoping for a Bigger, Bet- ter Barium, and we leave our best wishes with you. ———-P. 0. H.———— Infirmary PCUUP OUD INFIRMARY, May 20—Atta Boy! Only two more weeks of school and then vacation. Are we happy? Yes, but we hate to see the seniors leave. There is so many of them leaving we don’t know how we'll get along without them. But we are all wishing them geod luck and suecess in life. Now everybody is studying about going in swimming. That’s our hobby when summer comes. A few of us have enjoyed going to the river and going in. We have more room in the river. We haven't had many patients this month; only had to call the doctor once. It seems that everybody likes us though, for when they are not. sick, they have a cut or bruise. We have had about two hundred like that. Everyone still has the Chautauqua on his mind. We certainly do thank Mr. Brownley for letting us go. We hope we 1 go back’ next year if it eturns. We have gotten so used to it that it doesn’t seem possible to get along without it. Miss Moore reported a nice time at the conference at Greenwood, S. C., but she says she did not see anything he likes betier than what we have She also spent the day in Charlotte Saturday and brought us all some- hing back. Dick, Sally and Billy are delighted with their things. They how them to everyone. Everybody like strawberries? We certainly do. Mr. Thomas brings us some almost every day. We never get tired of them. We hope we'll have more to say next month. ———P. O. H. IN MEMORIAM It is right that in the heart of the quiet green village, the fast-growing own, or the hurrying city should tand our bronze or marble tribute to these who died in the Great War. It ‘s right that in the month of May we should wind through the streets in long processions, going to lay before that bronze or marble our memorial |roses. But it is not right if we let |¢leaming marble, marching men or you aa course in music or domestic | memorial roses make us think of war science, which ever you may prefer. While I left the Church until last it is still the most important. There have been improvements made in ev- ery cottage on the campus aand now has come the time when the Church should be improved. No change has been made since it was erected in 1907 and started from the forty-five cents as a glorious adventure. War is savage lust and cold killing. The American Boy —-P 0.

It seems only a short time since we wrote our last news, but we are glad that time is flying for we have only two more weeks of school and then vacation, We surely do thank the Chautaqua people for letting us see the Chautau- qua. We went four times and surely did enjoy going. We hope they will come back next year. We were so tickled when Mr. Jcohn-| ston said we could go in next Satur-) day. We hope we can go in every Saturday. until school is out. Then we can go in every day.

When we all get them on we look like little boys taking sun baths. We like them very much. No one knows how much we enjoyed going to the Chautauqqua and we thank them very much for letting us go. Another good thing is that the swimming pool has been opened and we are yelling for a dip. We're expecting Miss Steele back the first of next month and we'll be so glad to see her, but oh! how we will hate to lose Miss Mengert. We have enjoyed having her with us and truly hope she will come back to visit us. Since we can think of no more news, we will close until next time. Pr. & JOHN G. STERLING As we go to press, we learn of the rather sudden death of Mr. John G. Sterling, of the Winston- Salem Journal. This newspa- per had quite a good deal to say about Mr. Sterling's splendid qualities. He had been with that paper for thirty years, and stood high in the esteem, not only of that particular paper, but in newspaper circles over the State. Mr. Sterling was one of the original family of Barium Springs. He was in Barium Springs for four years, leaving prediction Robert G. Ingersall made’ that within one decade the Bible would not be read has failed to come true, i in 1897. We mourn the passing of this splendid man and mem- be: of our large family. ——P. 0.

Harper Brady, missionary to Kochi, Japan, who is now on fur- lough to this country Visited Barium campus recently. He and his father Mr. J. A. Brady, of Statesville, were guests of the May Birthday dinner held May 13tk. Miss Portia B. Mengert left last week for her home in Toledo, Ohie. Miss Mengert has served the institu- tion as temporary field worker in the absence of Miss Steele for the past year. Among the class of 9) graduates finishing at Statesville High School last week, William Johnston, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Johnston, of Bar- ium Springs, was represented. HERE are so many delightful things to write about just at this time that we hate to take the time to mention the unpleasant things in conection with our money situation. We are right in the midst of Commencement, as this is written, and we have already had a most de- {ghtful program by the Grades and the Music Department, on Friday night May 30. We had talent in this running al the way from Tenth Grade virls giving piano recitals, to four- year-olds giving operatic solos. The performance was fine, the decorations were fine, and the costumes were fine, und each individual performer went nto it just like they enjoyed it. It was a case of doing a thing and mak ing everybody like it. And then, on Sunday morning, our laccaulaureate sermon was preached Ly Rev. I. McElroy of Kings Moun- tain. This was our first visit from this splendid man, and he delivered us a great message. On Sunday night, the annual sermon to the Young Peo- ples’ Societies was preached by Dr. lf. M. Moffett, of Davidson College. This was also Dr. Moffett’s first visit to us, and we are delighted with him, and hope that he will return again. Class Day exercises were held at 10:00 A. M., Monday June the 2nd, and these exercises departed quite a ‘good deal from the usual run of such affairs, and was just as delightful as we were led to expect, considering the class that was putting it on. Tonight, the finals, when diplomas will be de- livered, and awards and medals also. And then the Annual Commencement -\ddress by Dr. R. A. Lapsley of the rst Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina. Dr. Lapsley was pre- sident of the Board of Regents of Ba- rium Springs in 1922. He was at that time, pastor of the Howard Memorial Church, Tarboro, and it is like wel- coming an old friend home, to have him with us at this time. Not the least delightful aspect of our Commencement, is the large num- ber of old boys and girls that are re- turning for the occasion. Quite a num- ber have younger brothers and sisters in the present graduating class. Our graduating class numbers tweaty-one. A complete write-up of individuals is given in last month’s Messenger, so we won't go further than to say just at this time, that in quantit - and quality, this class stands absolutely at the top of Barium’s out- pu. But taking our thoughts off of com- mencement for a moment, right along with our Commencement is the st day of the month, and our mail is full not altogether with congratula tions on the splendid achievement of our school for this year. There are also an abundance of bills with urgent request noted thereon, crying for pay- ment; and in most cases we have al- ready written the people sending in these bills, that we had hoped to pay them some time ago. And then, our teachers who have been faithful and most efficient all luring this year, are on their toes to- day ready to take the wings of the morning, and fly to the uttermost parts of the earth tomorrow, and they need their last month's pay, to aid in the flying. We must not detain them. Our long suffering matrons and heads of deparments who are with us all year, will as usual, wait a few days for their checks, but some of them are thinking of vacations, and we can hardly expect to let our pay- roll hang fire as long as we do some- times. Our needs for the months of April and May were something like $18,000- 00; we actually took in something over $7,000.00. Come to our relief quick and stick with us during the next few months. We need your help more than ever before. The job before us financially is a big one, but it is nothing like the job of answering to the calls for relief that seem to be showering upon us by every mail. We face the task during these summer months, of investigating an unprece- dented number of applications, and in choosing from that number just the ones that should come to Barium Springs. This means a_ tremendous amount of work to keep from making mistakes. And it also means no let-up in the size of the family to be cared for at Barium. i Page Two ee BARIUM MESSENGER PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHAN’S HOME JOSEPH B.

The Greek sage who said, “Know thyself,” gave the world a bit of val- uable advice, but he didn’t provide directions for applying it. In one of the numerous aspects of the task of self-acquaintance the omission has now been supplied by Dr. Donald A. Laird of Colgate University, who in the American Magazine lists forty-five questions regarding personal cenduct estimation in which one is held by his associates. Ask your answers and if you score below 56 get and bearing upon the yourself these questions, grade busy eliminating your bad points. The questions are divided into three groups. In the first group are ten questions. Each one to which you can answer ‘yes” counts three. The ten questions are: Can always be depended upon to do what you say you will do? Do you go out of your way cheerfully to help others? Are you careful not to exaggerate? Do you resist the temptation to be sarcastic? Do you refrain from showing off how much you know? Are you able to keep from feeling superior to most of your associates? Do you refrain from bossing people not employed by you? Do you refrain from repri- manding people who do things that displease you? Are you careful not to make fun of others to their backs? Do you refrain from trying to domi- nate others? In the second group are fifteen questions, each affirmative answer counting two: Do you keep your clothing neat and tidy? Do you avoid being bold or nervy? Do you refrain from laughing at the mistakes of others? Is your attitude toward the other sex free from vulgarity? Do you refrain from grumbling about things you cannot change? Do you let mistakes of others pass without correcting them? Do you lend things to others readily? Are you careful not to tell jokes that will embarrass those listening? Are you willing to let others have their way? Do you generally keep control of your temper? Do you keep out of arguments? Do you greet others cordially? Do you refrain from talking almost continuously? Do you keep your nose entirely out of other people’s business? The third group contains twenty questions and each affirmative answer counts one point: Have you patience with modern ideas? Do you avoid flattering others? Are you careful not to gossip? Do you refrain from asking people to repeat what they just said? Do you refrain from asking questions just to keep the conversation going? Are you careful not to ask favors from others? Do you refrain from trying to reform others? Do you keep your personal troubles to yourself? Are you natural rather than dignified? Are you conservative in politics? Are you enthusiastic rather than lethargic? Are you careful to avoid sloven diction and incorrect pronounciation of words? Do you look upon others without suspicion? Are you energetic? Do you refrain from borrowing things? Do you refrain from telling people what they should do morally? Do you refra in from _ telling people what your point of view? Do you refrain from talking rapidly? Do you refrain from laughing loadly? Do you avoid making fun of people to their faces” It might be well to have assistance in answering these questions, since one is not always aware that he has or lacks a certain trait or habit. Some persons, who talk about themselves a good deal, for example—an important matter which is not included in the forty-five questions—think that they are models of restraint. ' But one should not be discouraged by Dr. Laird’s conclusion that there are 740 chances to one that the possession of a single one of the forty-five traits which by implication are condemned will make one “pretty generally disliked.” Human experience is dead against any such dogmatic pronounce- ment, even though founded on “statis tical calculation.’We all know persons who are well liked in spite of the fact that they exhibit one or more of the forty-five traits on the black list. In fact, the significance of some of the forty-five questions might be’ challenged, as, “Are you conservative in poli- ties?” and “Are you energetic?” There are persons who would have to say “no” to both these questions and who are, nevertheless, far from being un- Ee tts et et Sy P u rre BktiowM M B® S 8 B N @ OSB 2B Barium Springs, North Carolina, —J Ce e EC Ot OO Oe me r e © SQ i ae mi e i om AMONG O +— ?

Corn plant- ing, wvod cutting, hay making, and wheat sowing, reaping and threshing —-all this‘together. A general mix-up of everything. That football field going through, no matter what. We took a mere hog, pasture surrounded by gullies and turned it into the first stages of a football field. If a pic- lture was taken before and after, you wouldn't know the place. We've finished the water way from the rail- road fill and have man holes and other ways of drainage all over the field. The grading is being done now and then if the boss thinks it should be top-soiled it will be done. The level- ing. will be done with the truck. A new dump body has been made for it and works fine. The tractors are idle now. The road officials wanted the wheelers and so theere’s nothing to do with the tractors. I understand a certain amount of money has been donated for a big fence with hedges growing right next to it will. be the regular thing. We already have some money for the stadium, and a few more. donations, and we will have that thing ready to go, that is a small part of the stadium and other things. | A water line is being laid in.

The }lawn mowers will travel a lot this summer. The hog murdering is all over and the hogs seemed to be relieved. Lightening, our crow-bait, is get- is ting very slow because of the hot weather and his partner, Dinah, is none the better. When anyone gets around and goes to talking about thein they seem to nudge one another and laugh, because they know where their next meal is coming from.

The reason for this is having a full time tutor for chil- dren needing help in their studies, a plan discussed in our meeting a year ago. The other expense is a full time di- rector of physical education instead of part time. This extra expense must show up as an improvement in the school work to justify itself. We are appending the number of children in each grade, with the promotions in each. OF PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ WOME, BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C.

Over half) of the buildings that are here have been built at least in part from receipts of legacies. The larger part of our endowment has the same origin; and each year there comes to us money in varying amount to take care of much need- | ed capital outlay. During this past year we have received, in addition to the several small legacies, two large ones. Something over $50,000.00 from the Mattie Belle James legacy, and $15,000.00 from the Benjamin Duke legacy. While none of this money can be used for current support, it has enabled some very necessary work to be done which means a reduction in expense, and it has retired a debt that was on our Capital account. We wonder just how much we are at this present time, mentioned in the | wills of our friends. We haven't made any definite campaign to get people | to remember us in their wills, because we like for people to give and see onl results of their giving at the same time. There seems so much about Barium Springs that is delightful that would bring joy to the heart of anyone know- ing they had a part in it. Feeling this, we have stressed the giving more than we have the leaving of money to us. However, we do not want the impression to get out that we do not approve | or desire money left to us in wills. We hope that this way of remembering us appeals to more and more people all the time, and that the money and pro- perty that may have served an individual during life shall after his death continue to work for God and humanity here. | We look on money coming to us in this way as a sacred trust not to be | spent at once for daily bread, but rather to be so spent that it will continue to be for years a benefit to those that are served here. We often have inquiries from lawyers or others drawing up willls wanting to know the exact legal title of our Institution. Our Institution is incorporated under the laws of North Carolina, and the | corporate title is: “The Regents of the Orphans’ Home.” We are printing just under the directory on the second page of this paper a form of will for the guidance of anyone desiring it.

But vacations are in order and the place seems right lonesome at times. Even a few of those listed on the birthday dinner for June just couldn’t wait a few days---they took advantage of a trip. Miss Anita Gigo is spending the summer months with her mother, Mrs. Juliette Ghigo, and incidentally, she is supervising the swimming pool during the girls’ hours. The fruit crop on the campus this season represents a fair crop. Apples are plentiful, but the peach crop will be short in some respects. Early fruit Was damaged by late frosts. Tnirty-two names were represented to participate in the June birthday dinner heid on the 18th. As usual, fried chicken with the necessary sssories for a “full dinner pail” Was served to this crowd. ae During the week of June 16-21 the farmers finished their threshing of small grain crops, Out of fifty acres planted in wheat and barley there were 267 bushels of barley, and 687 bushels of wheat. Some differences that may attrack the eye of the casual observer on the campus is these newly designated golf pros and what pertains to be an imprevised golf course in the min- lature form. The tees are made trom “T” joints of piping and the holes are elevated. Either this, by the end of hot weather months it will have vanished or, some time next year P. O.

Moore, returned mis- sionary from Japan, conducted both evening services at Littie Joe’s Church Sunday, June 22 His address in the morning centered jaround the missionary’s duties with the children of Japan, he having 100 schocls to visit. And at the evening service he gave a very interesting discussion of the Japanese customs.

Dr. and Mrs. Moore are visiting relatives in Winston-Salem while on furlough. UNSTABLE AS WATER it is stated by the highest author- ity that we have that “unstable as water, thou shalt not excell;” in spite of which warning we see so many waverers in life’s journey that it makes us sad. Luke-warm water is a poor thirst quencher and luke-warm people are no stimulant to others; I had rather be red-hot and mistaken than luke-warm and right. Ever so often in these sixty years }1 have come across some luke-warm people and they have never amounted to anything; no zip to them, blow- ing hot and cold with the same breath, they never can earn the con- fidence of their community and never have any weight in the affairs of | their town;no good citizens, or friends }or in the family circle. Their luke-warmness arises from the fact that they have no stability in love, friendship or opinons; the last man they talk with expresses their opinions if such a spineless per- son may be said to have opinions. Their friendships are changeable in their personnel and their affections are so widely distributed as to be of little value to anyone. They have no definite purpose in life but drift along, being a drag and a deterrent upon the active members of the circle in which they have their being; agreeing with everybody they have no stomach for a fight for prin- ciple and swap sides in politics so rapidly that an adding machine is needed to keep up with them. They may be properly designated as inver- tebrates. —Columbia, (S. C.) “Little People.” ti l t e d , BARIUM MESSENGER PUBLISHED By THE VOLUME VII.

July 22. — Of much interest to their friends in this and other states is the wedding of Miss Rachel Agnes Hanna and Mr. Earl Ransom McAuley, which was sol- emnized on Friday, July 18, at 7:15 o'clock, at the home of the bride’s parents, Antioch Presbyterian manse Red Springs, North Carolina. The im- pressive ring ceremony was preform- ed by Rev. Geo. W. Hanna, father of the bride. The ceremony was performed be- fore an improvised alter of long leaf pine, seven-branched candelabra en- twined with trailing vines, and a large basket of lavender and white phiox and fern. The living room was tastefully decorated with long leaf pine and flowers in pastel shades. Preceding the ceremony, the can- dles were lighted by Miss Sarah Lou- ise Hanna, younger sister of the bride, and Miss Annie Mae Gibson. Immediately before the ceremony, Miss Sarah Hoedgin played “Love Dreams,” by Brown. Miss Emeline Hanna, sister of the bride, sang “Lift Thine Eyes,” by Logan, and “I Love You Truly,” by Jacob-Bond. rhe bride was met at the foot of the stairs by the groom and they en- tered the living’ room together to the stains of Lohengrin’s Wedding March. During the ceremony Miss Hodgin played “Venetian Love Song” and after the ceremony “Good Night,” both selections by Nevin. Tne bride was becomingly attired in 2 graceful gown of white chiffon, whith hat of white horse-hair braid and white accessories. She wore a shoulder corsage of brides roses and lilies-of-the-valley, Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. McAuley left for a short wedding trip, after which they will be at home at Dunlap, North Carolina. For traveling, the bride wore a suit ot reyal blue tweed, with blouse of eggshell fiat crepe, and felt hat, with accessories to match. The bride is the oldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Geo. W. Hanna, the furmer the pastor of Antioch Presby- terian church, She received her edu- cation at Muskingum College, New Concord, Ohio, and Flora MacDonald College at Red Springs. For the past tour years she has been a member or the faculty at Barium Springs, North Carolina. Prior to the wed- ding she was the recipient of a num- ber of social honors. The groom is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. R. McAuley, of Dun- lap, North Carolina. He is known by his many friends to be a man of ster- ling qualities, and is a well-known farmer of Iredell county. P. O. H.m Flora McDonald College Pres. Named Rey. H. D. Bedinger, of Hartsville, S. C., has been elected president of Flora MacDonald College succeeding Dr. Charles G. Vardell, who has been the president of this institution since it was founded about thirty years ago. Mr. Bedinger, who will assume his new duties the first of August, is 41 years of age. A native of Richmond, Ky., a graduate of Davidson College in the class of 1911 and the Union Theological Seminary of Richmond, Va., he entered a pastorate in the Asheville Presbytery, where he serv- ed only a short time before joining the United States Army as a chaplin and saw service overseas. Returning he accepted the pastorate of a church in Hartsville, S. C., where he served for 11 years. He is well and favorably known in Presbyterian circles in South Carolina and is regarded as an able man and well fitted for the posi- tion to which he has been chosen, Dr. Vardeli will not leave the col- lege but has accepted the position of teacher of Bible there. Dr. Var- dell is a very capable college man and under his administration Flora MacDonald takes high rank among the colleges for women in the State. Its endowment is small and Dr. Var- dell has had a terrific struggle to keep it going, but it has always maintained a high standard and has done a glorious work in the education of the young women who have attend- ed it. We hope for Mr. Bedinger the same high degree of success that attended the heroic work of Dr. Var- dell.—Charity and Children. —P. 0.

OB SERVICES AT LITTLE JOE'S McGoogan, Shannon, In the absence of the pastor, who has been taking a vacation, we have had the privilege of hearing Rev. C. E. Furr of Moooresville, and Dr. C.M. Richards of Davidson, at Little Joe’s Church. Sunday, the 20th, Dr. Rich- ards used a one word text theme. “Watch.” In analyzing the signifiance of each letter in this word a very sim- ple message that all could get was put across in that all, both young and old, were policeman for Jesus, and our words, acts, tempers, companions and hearts must be checked up. We are glad to have had these men to speak to us and hope they will pay us more visits. —P. 0.

We got out fifty-three boxes last month. We have had only three or four girls at a time in the Sewing Room. Some have been on their vacation, some are yet to go. Mildred Warner is leaving tomor- row. Alice Craig, Lucile Long and Mary Alice Mott have already been. Louise Wilson and Lorena Clark are away now. We have been getting off to go in swimming and have we been enjoy- ing it and how! The water feels good after working all day. In her spare time Lucile Long has been reading “The Care and Feeding of Husbands”. Mary Alice hasn't been yet, wonder why? We’re rushing to get through so Miss Clark can go on her vacation. It’s time to go in swimming so we will hang our clothes on this line. —-The Sewing Room Girls. P. 0.

You will note that two Presbyteries show a slight less; whereas, the Synod as a whole, shows a larger gain than for the year previous. Our Table of Receipts is rather discouraging. The total received during July is $1,157.47 less than that received during the same month in 1929. We are hoping that this amount will be more than made up during the month of August. We realize that a good many of the communities supporting this Institution have been under tremendous and unsual strain, and that a decrease in receipts is not to be wondered at. The same conditions, however, that make this decrease in revenue, have increased very much the calls on us for assistance. We have not tabulated the number of applications from each Presbytery, but the list of children received and to be received during the next few weeks, from the various Presbyteries, total up as follows: Orange Mecklenburg Wilmington Winston-Salem mo 6 Making a total of 33. By far the months since 1922, the year in which quite a bit of new equipment was add- ed. These additions make the number here from the as follows: Albemarle Concord Fayetteville Granville ‘ Kings Mountain 35 8! 36 28 24} Albemarle 2 Concord 1 Fayetteville 5 Kings Mountain 1 largest number received during these various Presbyteries, Mecklenburg 51 Orange 37 Wilmington 36 Winston-Salem 36 A total of 364. You can see from this the tremenous burden that we are compelled to carry. Every s:vr. of revenue except that derived from Endowment, has felt the business depression of the country. Our crops have been good which has enabled us to provide our table, and such other needs as can be taken care of at home. We do not feel that the work of carrying on the Orphanage is an im- possible task, even during these tremendously hard times. We believe that the slump is caused more by the way we think about things than by actual conditions. We read about the big amount of money that is necessary to run the Orpphanage and we become frightened. We think that during these hard times it is imposssible to carry on. We had occasion to interview a moving picture man some time ago. He was discussing enlarging his place on account of the increased number of people coming to the shows. He attributed this increase to unemployment. The people were not busy so they went to more picture shows. The price of an ordinary picture show is twenty-five cents. This amount from each member of the Presbyterian Church of the Synod of North Car- lina, would run the Orphanage two months. We don’t know how many car owners there are in the Presbyterian Church, but we do know that the prevailing price of gas is twenty-two cents. For just the price of a gallon from each member of our church, would enable us to get along two months. This is a little less than the twenty-five cents on our budget, but we have gotten used to getting by on short change, and we know that twenty-two cents cash would take us as far as twenty-five cents to come in to us near the end of the church vear, because cash in hand goes lots further than an indefinite promise to pay. Let us think of these things, and maybe we will feel a little ashamed of curselves.Since the first of the church year—four months ago—we have re- ceived from the entire Synod, about $1,500.00, a tremendous amount of money this seems to be, but when we analyze it, it doesn’t seem quite so big. It means that during all that time, we have received an average of approximate- ly twenty-two cents per member from the entire Synod. The price of ONE gallon of gasoline. We are not asking any one member of the church to pay up our deficit. We are appealing to you all. There isn’t a single problem that confronts you that doesn’t confront us. If tt is unemployment in your community, that un- employment is making additional calls on us. If it is a bank failure, that bank failure has added to our burden here, in other ways. If it is crop short- age, storms, strikes, accidents of no matter what nature, a percentage of the wreckage of these things is laid on us to be cleared up. Now, when you think of these things, isn’t it possible for you to spare us half the price of a movie ticket in on emonth? The price of three packages of chewing gum, or one package of cigarettes? This is all we are asking. It is not as if we were in the middle of a lake drowning, calling on you for help. That would entail danger to yourself; we are just off-shore, almost within reaching distance of the bank, and we are asking a helping hand from you—something that need not endanger you, but something that is very ne- cessary or else we will suffer untold damage. Our Table of Receipts is very sensitive to large contributions. Winston- Salem moved from near the bottom to next to the top on account of one check from one individual for $500.00. But this Table is not only sensitive to large checks, it is extremely sensitive to a community or church waking up, and all doing a little. Try it in your community. * a * * * ATTENTION—READERS : BARIUM MESSENGER Please advise us if the address we furnish on address label—if * inaccurate—with correction and * help us maintain a perfect list. * * * * * * * * #| * * * « * * Editor Presbyterian Standard Passes Rev.

The advice we have had is that the silent pictures has given way to “Talkies” and that if we want to continue the use of pictures it will simply mean the installation of a vitaphone. And while you are getting your next breath along with us, we cannot help but feel a bit perturbed over this.

Barium Springs, North Carolina—August, 1930 SUMMER VISITORS It has become quite the fashion for|-waa poorly organized, and the child- Sunday Schools and other church or-|ren awkward and unhappy. ganizations to select Barium Springs as the place for their summer picnic. Boy Scout troups find delightful camp grounds on the land belonging to the Home and often are our neighbors and in a sense our guests for weeks at a time during vacation months. If they could all come again during scheol months when all the activities are in full blast. The school activities, the young peoples societies, the ath- letic program, and the departments all running smoothly, and everybody happy. they would see a_ different And then we have visitors by the Barium. from people just passing through, that may spend from thirty minutes to several hours getting ac- quainted with Barium. score And then this—not all visitors have left us impressed with the idea that we need anything. Sometimes parties have come to carry back reports of our distress and have gone back with- ont the ammunition they sought. They have expected to find maybe rags, and hunger, and actual suffering. They have found well fed, clean, wel! clothed children, contented workers abundant, well tended crops. They have found equipment where needed to carry on the work, tractors, trucks, mules, and everything to excite the envy of a man operating a farm. A herd of cattle that would make glad the heart of any cattle lover. And if you should question any boy, about these things he would recite to you how much milk this cow gives or how much wheat we threshed, or which team of mules were the best and you might yo away, with the idea that we didn’t need a thing. All of this delights us very much, we who live at Barium love the place and the people here so much and we want everybody to know this big fam- ily and love it as we do. We know that if our visitors could get to know the place as we do that they too would love it as we do. In our eagerness to show these friends around and point out things to them, we are apt to forget that it is impossible to see more than a little part of Barium in one brief visit. It isn’t always possible for one to see the parts that may interest that par- ticular person the most. : And it is easily possible for people | to get a very wrong impression of the place, its policies, and present condition. For instance, Barium in the sum- mer is not at all the Barium of the rest of the year. In the summer, every department is to a certain extent dis- organized. All of the graduating class want to cover up our rags to hide our nakedness, to ‘put up a front” if you will. We don’t like to parade the pitiful short cuts and subterfuges we have to practice to get by. and most of the Juniors are away, about one fourth of our number are The very matron, that may vacationing. have grown so animated over some New children are coming in. A accomplishments of her chiidr department may have more children not have ouives her pay in some- in it this week than needed for the ee didn’t complain about that work, next week there may not be enough. The electricity that we depend on for so many things, our refrigera- tion, lights, motors are all depend- ent on it, would long ago have been cut off but for the friendly, long suf- fering attitude of our neighbor the town of Statesville. Not since near Thanksgiving have we been able to pay our bill there and we now owe over $3,000.00. These are just samples As a result a visitor may see, too feverish activity in one department, and too much leisure in another. There are more tears shed here in one week in the summer than all the rest of the year. Little newcomers are sometimes un- happy for a few days, and those re- turning from vacations often look very dolefnl for a few daays.

We are trying our best to learn to swim and think we might) do so if the larger children would not | carry us where it is deep and seare | us so that we are afraid to even go where it is shallow. So please let us just play to ourselves when we are in the pool. We will appreciate this very much. Last week Mr. Lowrance let us have the truck and Robert Blue chauf- feured us to the Catawba River where we had a most delightful time. We went in swimming, played in the sand, had a good supper and returned home in the moonlight by way of Statesville. We wish to thank Mr. Lowrance and Robert and hope we can go again soon only the next time we want to spend the day. Miss Edna Scoggins, one of our matrons went on her vacation taking Albert May, one of our babies with her. We miss them both but hope they are having a wonderful time. “Mama Girt” took part of the large girls who have been here all summer, to see “The Rouge Song.” The others she took to see “Vagabond King.” We en- joyed this very much. A Sunday School class from Wins- ton-Salem came to see Barium Sun day. We enjoyed their visit and hope they can come again. We welcome all visitors to the Baby Cottage. Most of our big girls have gone on| their vacations. We have had to bor-| row a girl to help us. We have only) one upstairs with the girls, one down- | stairs with the boys and two in the kitchen. Miss Woods has been so kind as to send one of her girls over in the mornings to play and stay with us because our regular girls are busy house cleaning, washing and ironing our best clothes and mending all. We thank Miss Woods and the girls. We have been wearing sun suits and some of us are so brown we are afraid of being mistaken for little colored children. We are certainly not very white now. Only three of our small children are away now, some have gone and come back and some of us will not go at all. We do not mind their going because we are so busy and happy that the time flies quickly and we've hardly had time to miss them before they are back again. Some ladies from Statesville brought us some pretty new spreads and bath towels. We wish they could have seen our beds last week when they had the spreads on them. j We all went to the show last Friday | night to see “The Glorious Trail” and although some of us grew very sleepy before it was over not one of us went to sleep. Mr. Sipes was kind enough to bring us chickens so we invited Mr. and Mrs. Johnston and Lelia over for dinner today. We all nearly got mixed up and thought it was Sunday because we had chicken. Since your vacation do you feel “down in the dumps” and lonesome because so many others are away? If you are, come to see us, we’re never lonesome and hardly know anyone is away. We'll cheer you up and help you find yourself. So visit us. Last Sunday we all behaved so nice- ly in church, that even the visitors | remarked about it. All the big people | were proud of us. | Sunday evening we were walking through the pasture and the Mexican burro paid no attention to us but as} we left the pasture at one side, Mr. | Joknston entered at the other and| the burro immediately ran to him and | nosed him.

We thank Mr. Jackins and the dairy boys for the ice cream they have been making for us twice a week. We also thank Mr. Thomas and the truck farm boys for the good peaches they have been giving us. We had five nice watermelons yes- terday and we certainly did enjoy them. We had Rev.

We've been doing lots of things through the summer. Some have been off on vacations others working and still others just waiting for another school year. As a whole we have had a fine time and now that school in just ten days off, we are ready for it. This cottage has received several new members lately and they all} seem to be pleased. These new members made it just a little overloaded so the seniors are moving down to a house on the south end of the campus. As I told you some of the boys did not go on a vacation but worked. For a vacation they all went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina fe an week, Not much doing’ after work now. Some go to town, some play rook, and others listen to Capn Jackins radio, This cottage is made up offoot- ball players and they are waiting just for that first game on Sloan Field. When you get this news we will all be going to school, playing foot- ball and just ready to make this the biggest year that Jennie Gilmer has contributed to Barium. See you next month, that’s all. “The Big ‘uns” ——P. 0. Him Loyalty | If I were asked the one quality in a boy’s character that is absolutely essential, that makes all the others worth while, without which none of them has any real value 1 should name loyalty. With loyalty go trust- worthiness, honesty, truthfulness and reverence. Without it, neither cleverness nor charm nor efficiency will get you very far. Luther H.Gulick once said,“Loyalty involves a willingness to fight to- gether, to stand together under all sorts of trying conditions, it involves courage, endurance, and in fact most of those qualities which we call dis- tinctly masculine.” Loyalty is something we can all practice here and now in everything that we do and say and think. “Loy- alty,” says Lord Baden Powell, “he- gins at home.” If you are loyal te your parents you respect their judg- ment and obey them. You would rather put your right hand in the fire than utter a word of criticism or disrespect of them. On a street car in Buffalo one day, a woman offered a boy who happened to sit next to her a counterfeit nickle that the conductor had refused. She said to the boy that he would undoubt- edly be able to pass it some where. He quietly thanked her and refused. “I do not want it,” he said, “I am a Scout.” That brings us to another kind of loyalty. The loyalty that you owe yourself. Be loyal to your own con- science, to that something in you that tells you what is right and what is wrong, and you are safe. That is what Shakespeare meant by the quo- tation which I want to call to your attention, so important do I believe it to be: “To thine own self be true.” Loyalty is that quality which prompts a person to be true to the thing he undertakes. Nature helps the loyal man. If you are careless, slip- shod, indifferent, nature assumes that you wish to be a nobody and grants your wish. Success hinges on loyalty. The hospitals, jails, lums, and sanitoriums are fuil of disloyal people folks who have been disloyal to their friends, society, business, work--God is on the side of the loyal.” Junior Safety Special — Pp, 0. H— Success is not an accident. It comes to the man who does his work a little better than the other fellow. Irving T. Bush. MAXIMS AND MOTTOES It is not the guns or armament Or the money they can pay, It’s the close co-operation That makes them win the day. It is not the individual Or the army as a whole, But the everlastin’ team work Of every blooming soul. — \| - — - A SUMMER VACATION FOR TWO DOLLARS Everybody thinks about a summer vacation, and about saving up money all winter to take this summer vacation. At Barium Springs we think about it too. Most of our grown folks get away for at least two weeks, and all the children are ¢nti'ied to that much. Those that have rela- tives who can give them this outing, do so, and usuall ut two hundred visit their relatives. Then there are about sixty to seventy-five that visit friends, clothing people and such. This leaves, ordinarily, from eighty to a hundred children who have nowhere to go during the summer, and jit has been our custom to have a camping party on the banks of the Catawba River for a few days |for this crowd. : This vear, we have been planning something a itt! j think about it, we didn’t know whether it could be arra: | point on the seacoast which appeared to be Myrtle be: more ambitious.

The trip to Myrtle Beach was with- out incident or accident. The whole crowd stopped at Bennettsville, South Carolina, to eat lunch, and from the way people looked at us, we don't believe they ever had seen so many children eat their dinner as quietly and clean up so nicely afterwards any- where before. We all arrived at Myrtle Beach or rather our campground, which was five miles from Myrtle! Beach, about four P. M. Several of the tents were already up, and unloading took place in short order.

INCREASES YEAR BY YEAR Why do more people kill themselves in certain seasons of the year than in others and more in hard times? Giv- ing the fact found by the vital statistics bureau in this State Miss Nell Battle Lewis answers these questions in the Sunday newspapers. In May, 1930,a month of 31 days, there were 30 suicides in North Caro- lina, approximately one a day. In June there were 26. During the first six months of 1930 more people in this State killed themselves than during If the present suicide rate continues here, the total for this year will be de- cidedly in excess of that for 1920, the state's largest up to that date, which was 2124 cases. The most obvious ex- planation of this marked increase in selfdestruction is the present econo- mic depression. During hard times sui- cides always increase. One observes in the suicide statis- tics for North Carolina during the first half of 1930 a feature which ; has long been conspicious in statis- ities of this kind everywhere, that is, the fact that there is a seasonal in- crease in this form of death in the late spring and early summer. There were 24 suicides in this State in Jan- |uary of this year, 20 in February, 17 | in March, 17 in April, with the peak | for the year coming in May with 30, Followed by 26 in June.

To do this requires some energy exerted in other channels than spend- ing money freely. Bringing about prosperous conditions is simply put- ting money in the hands of everybody. Once getting hold of money, most people will spend it, or a sufficient amount of it to insure good business conditions. What is the answer? Why, simply that people increase their earn- ing capacity, quit throwing money a- way, and take more interest in build- ing up their own fortunes than in help- ing to increase the fortunes of others by wasting their money for something they do not need. The way to get down to prosperity is to work harder and increase the income then practice economy to the | degree that the income will be a lit- tle larger than the outgo.—-Harnet County News. P.O.

C., September, 1930 Lay off, McDutf We feel called upon to write this particular article to save our dis- position from utter wreck. We have written article after article on the money situation until we are afraid our friends may feel that money troubles are the only kind that we have anything to do with. particular article, but are going to talk about some of our difficulties, never- theless. Applications are coming to us at the rate of about two a day. Practically double the number that we were handling two years ago. At one time one case worker could handle all of our applications and have plenty of time to spare. Now it pushes her even when quite a number of applications are eli- minated through correspondence. Of this great number of applications coming to us, we have to reject by far the larger number. In fact, we have to reject twelve to one that we accept. in rejecting these applications, we are not doing the thing, quite often, that we would like to do, but the thing that we have to du; and we find that not always is there pleasant feelings all around when we do reject a particular case. There are so many people and so many different view- points to each case that it is difficult tor us to get the Orphanage viewpoint | across so that everyone may be satisfied. We sometimes think that if everybody knew our situation and the things | that we have to let determine the acceptance or rejection of a case, that much heartburnings would be eliminated. Right now, our minds are echoing with arguments, recriminations, and accusations until we feel very small and ineffective. We wish we did not have to refuse people anythu.. “e wish we could take all the people that are interested and have a clinic, su to speak; have them all present and then diseci all the appplications that we have before us, and jet all the people interested in the applications be the judge as to which ones should be selected. When a community puts in an application, they are vitally interested in that one particular case, and it iv difficult for them to see the whole picture, because they know the individuals that they are interested in, and can not see beyond that. Here is a community that has living in it a family with one parent liv- ing and possibly a step-mother. They are not treating their children as they! should be treated. The situation is a sore spot in the community. They want us to take the children. After looking into the case, we reply that the family can take care of the situation. The answer to that is that the parents are not taking care of the situation, although they may be able to. Our answer to all this is that we cannot accept the children because we do not believe that the Orphanage is designed to take children from parents that are able to care for them, even though they may not be making a good job of it, and be perfectly willing te give up their children. This policy does not satisfy people interested in that particular case. And yet, if our policy should be changed to suit them, it would open up a vastly larger field than the particular field that it does occupy. We venture to say that there are more families where the parents are not giving the child- ren what they should give and could give, in the way of proper environment and care than there are orphans. Think this over, any of you who are in- terested in particular cases like this. Then there is this case: A church and community that have been sup- porting the Orphanage for numbers of years, have never made an application tor a child to be admitted. A situation comes up in which a woman is left a widow and the folks immediately jump to the conclusion that now is the opportunity for the Orphanage to return some of the benefits that this particular congregation has been showering on the Orphanage for al! these years. We investigate the case and find that there’s ample means within the family to take care of the situation; but for the feeling that the Orphanage ; owes it to this church, possibly the case would never be mentioned. Just what shall we do in an instance like this? Shall we risk offending the faithful longsuffering congregation, or shall we take in the child or child- ren as sort of a sop to their feelings. The temptation is strong to do just that thing, and it seems that there have been more arguments of this kind coming to us this year than in any previous year. It may be that more communities have been hard-hit by the depression than ever before. We can only say in this commection, that whenever we find it a truly orphanage case, that we will give the first choice to such application coming U er | ___..Lottie Walker; Mrs. J. D.

It might not be long before each church would | be bidding for heip, according to the amount of work they had done for the Orphanage. It would mean sending back home quite a number of children that | are here from churches that may have been particularly hard hit, and it would be accepting from other communities children not near so desperate, but |simply because their church might deserve it. It would be putting the | benefits of the Orphanage on an insurance basis rather than on a benevolent basis. Our church is doing a big work in the Orphanage line. But when we | come to analize jt, there’s a pretty big number of church members to each orphan here, A church with a hundred members would be entitled to just | ous half of one child in the Orphanage, and it would be rather awkward if they should haye a family of four or five childran left destitute on their hands. They would have to increase their membership to some eight hun- dred to take in a family of four-—if acceptance was made on the basis | of what that particular church does for the Orphanage. This is presuming that all members are somewhat alike in their orphanage support. j If we had based our decisions on the amount they gave, it might be that ja few churches with wealthy members could take all the benifits of theOr- phanage to the exclusion of the others, it they so chose. And then, we have applications coming to us from other sources than jour church, The Welfare people, the Associated Charties, and such. They | get very impatient with us often, because we inquire what church connection ithe children have. The writer’s left ear is still burning from a telephone | conversation we had just a few days ago, with a Secretary of the Associated | Charities who had called up to know if they could get four children into this | particular Institution. In the course of our conversation, we asked what | their church connection was. We were told in rather sharp tones that that j had not been looked into, but that they were needy children, and since we were in the business of chiid welfare, we should not pay any attention to that. We differed with the applicant, we tound ourselves rather heartily | condemned. | Now, let us debate that just a littie bit.

Or if it is! of no church affiliation, we look into it. Isn't that the logical process? Suppose we should be “broad-minded” as we are so urgently requested to be by our friends in the Welfare Depart- | ment, and simply shut our eyes to denominational lines. We will just shut | the door on everybody after we have filled up, paying no attention to whether | they are Presbyterians, Baptist, or what not. Now after filling cur Institution, there will be on the outside the same number applying as are applying now. In that number, however, will be the same number of Presbyterian children as there may be Baptist and others. When we refuse them admission, application will be made to other insti- tutions. Does anybody think that they—these Presbyterian children—will | get as prompt entry into the other institutions as though they belonged te that particular denomination? | However you may think about this, the answer is “no”, | that | the turning down of Presbyterian applications going elsewhere. The pre- sumption would be that the Presbyterians should take care of their own. | An illustration of the way this looks to us. The writer has a rather large | family. Some big husky boys and one little bit of a girl. Suppose we should get real broad-minded and say that there are so many hungry child- ren in the world, we will just throw our dining room door open and feed all | the hungry children and Jet them make a scramble of it. And suppose in this scramble, this little girl should be shoved back and not get anything to eat. Who would feed her?” She might apply to a neighbor but that neighbor would say, “Why this little girl has a father who is able to take care of her; Why should I give my ?” And she weuld be in worse plight than ead to her? | if she had no father to look after her. | Isn’t this much the same way in Church-supported Institutions? | Church supports these Institutions, and the Church has a right to expect that the Churches gava shali be taken care of first. | Is this contrary te the dectrine of Christ? Then, there is another lot of people that we must satisfy. The people who contribute *o the Orphanage, and the people who nave the governing of the Orphanage. We peruse our financial sheet and we see declining revenue | We cut corners wherever they can le cut. | lower expenses. Expenses can not be cut any further without cutting the | Size of the family. There are numbers of people who think that we ought to do just that, and everytime we accept an application it is over the protest of these friends of ours who think this way. Their attitude is this: “You j have no right .o spend money that you haven't got, even in as good a cause jas the Orphanage. If you have no money to take care of children without | going in debt, don’t take the children. Or do not take care of them in such | large numbers.” | Now, what shall we do and stay friends with everybody? We want to be friends, we want to please everybody. We don’t want any unfinished ex- planations to rankle in anybody’s mind; and yet we have to reconcile all these different opinions. One group telling us to cut down the number of children, | and then in the face of that, we have muitiplied applicativns. People wanting | children in because their church has never sent any. People wanting us to take children in because they are an eye-sore to the com nunity. People want- ing us to take children in because the mother can’t contro! them. People want- ing us to take in children because it is inconvenient for the family to care for them. People wanting us to take children in, because different branches of the family can not agree as to how the children should be taken care of. People wanting us to take in children because the Session of the Church decided that ‘hat is the thing to be done. and they are not inclined to ae- cept anybody else’s judgement in the matter.

It seemed to us that the Church was trying to do a wonderful work and that the Church was doing it under handi- caps, but that the Church was leading the procession in inaugurating some- thing worthwiile, advances and changes in child welfare work. We found it hard to reconcile to the speakers conclusions that the Orphanage has lost its usefulness, while we listened to the heated arguments from our above mentioned friend in the Associated Charities who wished us to take in | four children over the telephone. | What are we going to do about it? Well, if you have read this article, } you have helped because if this particular conditien had remained in the | mind of the Writer, without any chance to express himself, we would have | suffered from aeute mental indigestion. Please, let's all get these fundamental truths stored away in the back part of our heads: The Orphanage is not taking in children to curry favor, nor to get anybody out of debt, nor relieve a community of a responsibility that is theirs, nor to provide a schoo! when it is inconvenient for a particular community to insist on their rights in the matter of a school, but is for the purpose of caring for children or families of children where the help ot mothers’ aid, or permanent child placing do not seem to be applicable. There is an abundant field for this work; so big yet that the Orphanages groan under the load. We want te do this unselfishly, and to make the benefits of this Institution count for the most possible. And then, there is just one parting thought: temporary unem ago, to get our minds cleared aid to be enlightened on a num- possibly to have the above questions aswered, we went to a ‘erence at Chapel Hill. We heard the Orphanages discussed angles. We heard one very learned paper by a professor who stated, that there was no longer anywhere in the scheme a place for the obsolete institution called on Orphanage. more extravagant than mothers’ aid. It was so less human ing; that it was a relic of the Dark Ages. The speaker was a and seemed so well informed on most subjects that we found ile his conclusions with the facts that we knew to be so diff- Please do not think that oral ployment is something for the Orphanage to cure. We have applications coming in to us by the score from communities where the mills | have gone on short time, and the argument is: “We can’t make a go of it on account of the shortened pay rolls.” This is a temporary condition that the Orphanage is not designed to cure. Some other agency of relief must be used. We think that you can all realize this. If we considered these valid reasons for accepting children, the Or- phanage would have to have an immense reserve fund for temporary relief of this kind, anda very elastic plant to take care of these periodic expansions. If for any reason, any reader of this article has not enough, we will be very glad, on request, to write a second installment on this particular busi- ness of treating applications. In fact, we can write a third and a fourth in- stallment, and our souls will still be burdened with a lot of unsaid thought. Barium Springs, N. C., September 1930 School Opening When this issue of the Messenger reaches you, our school will have started, and Barium Springs will be so busy getting itself adjusted to the new school year that we will hardly have time to think, Every grade will be different from last year. Each cottage group will be different. Activities that have been suspended during the summer will be put in motion again, and we will be busy and happy. Right now, while this is being written, two weeks be- fore the beginning of school, every- body seems to be anxious for school to commence. We will have number of new children. We will have the largest high school we have ever had, and we believe we are going to have the best year in school that we have ever had. Just as soon as school commences, that means the beginning of football practice, and we will have a field to practice on and a field to play on this year, and the first game _ will be against our old friends, Winston-Sa- lem High School. This will be in Win- a -ston on September the 20th, and we hope it will be the same great occa- sion that it has been the last few years. After that on the 26th, we play Lexington at Lexington, and then will be our big home-coming game, and we hope it will be a home-coming day— October the third, when Sloan Field will be opened for our game with Con- cord High. Concord won the Class-B Cham- pionship in North Carolina last year, detéating everything in her class in ;the West and finally defeating Ox- The very fact) the Presbyterian Church does have an institution of this kind, would mean | ford, the Eastern State Championship. We have met Concord four times in past years. The first time, Con- cord defeated us rather badly—18 to 6. The next time the game resulted in a tie. The next two years Barium was victor, and this year, Concord claims is their time to even the score. We believe it is going to be a big game. It will be on a good field, and we hope there will be a good crowd to see it. We have arranged for seat- ing about seventeen hundred people at Sloan Field, and they can see the game from these seats. Provision will be made to keep people from standing in front of them, and we believe that whoever comes will enjoy our games here more than ever. On this opening game, we hope to Champions, for | have a band, and lots of other thrills The: | We do everything possible to} that will make it a most delightful occasion, The usual price of admission for football games is fifty cents. We are offering a bargain in the way of sea- son tickets, and these season tickets will be on sale from the first of Sep- tember on. We offer five varsity games and five midget games for $2. ‘The five varsity games will probably be these: Concord, Statesville, North Wilkesboro, Belmont Abbey College, and the Shoeless Wonders of Virginia. And then the Midget games will be of a high-class themselves. One of these 'games will be with Rock Hill, cham- pions of South Carolina and Georgia, in the 115-pound weight. The 125-pd. weight with Asheville School for Boys. At least one game with the Deaf Mutes of Morganton, and then the re- gular Championship Series in the 100- pound Class. Games with Statesville, Salisbury, Lexington, and others, will take place. If you are within reach of Barium on any of the dates of their home games, drop by and see it. It will be well worthwhile, and your presence will be appreciated at all times. Bar- ium boys do love to play. They will jlove it more than ever on this field that they have built through their own efforts, and they will enjoy play- ing all the more when it is before a big crowd of friends. Season tickets are on sale at the Otfice at Barium, at Walter Culbreth’s Stand in Statesville, The Statesville Drug Company, and Gray Drug Com- pany. Don’t fail to get your ticket if you live in this part of the State. If you don’t see but one game, you get : tv ‘the worth of ie i d another man making a speach describing the Church’s place | : of your ticket in one game. In fact, some people say that they get the worth of a ticket in just talking about the game afterwards. The Bug With A Million Dollar Light The light of the firefly is the perfect light for which science is seeking. If man could duplicate the cold light of the firefly he would save billions for indus- try and make at least a million dollars for himself. Scientists tell us that the ordinary gas flame contains less than 3 per cent of visible rays and the other 97 per cent are heat or chemical rays. Electric lights also disipate the greater amount of rays as heat. But the firefly is the cold light in which practically all of the rays are visible. The firefly emits its light ona sort of photogenic plate supplied with a profusion of fine tracheal tubes. The cell of the photogenic plates are said to secrete a sub- stance which with the abundant supply of oxygen from the many tubes unde:goes rapid combustion, Why does the firefly carry a light? Some say it isa warning to the birds that fly at night that here is an insect they shali not eat and others are love signals among the fireflies. Here is a problem to work out from your own observation. —Orphan Helper. Barium Springs, N. C., September 1930 a2 2g oS m £SsS 6 NEVER ALONE “Thou, God, seest me. Oh, how happy I should be! All day and all night, In dark and in light, When I work and when I play, Where I go or where I stay, While I wake and while I sleep, God His kindly watch doth keep. Oh, how happy I should be! Thou, God, seest me.” Source Unknown A Most Cheerful Response In the August issue of the Messenger, we wrote rather feelingly in our appeal for money. We suggested that every member of the church could spare us at least the price of one gallon of gasoline every two months; and this is all that it takes to run the Orphanage; when every body does that. As a matter of fact, when we wrote that, the entire Synod had sent us during the whole first four months of the church year, just the price of a gallon of gas per member—twenty-two cents. Just a week after this Messenger was mailed out, we received a letter with a check for $2.30, with the following letter in explanation: Dear Sir: I read in this month’s Messenger asking everybody to send the price of one gallon of gasoline. by giving what I suggested some time ago. I am going to do better than that Am going to stay at home next Sunday, the 10th and give the amount I paid last Sunday on gas and oil for pleasure only. So inclosed you will find check for $2.30, the amount I spent. Use the $2.30 for what purpose That letter started an entirely new train of thought. you deem best. Respectfully, J. W. Shook We do without one meal a year and send the price of that meal to the Near East Orphans; We wonder how it would do for our church people to follow the example of our friend who wrote the letter above? Stay home one Sunday, and send us the amount they usually spend on Sunday for gas and oil. We don’t know just how much this would amount to, but we believe that it would certainly take care of our summer slump. It would enable us to go into the Thanksgiving season without the tremendous burden of pressing debts that take every dollar that comes to us at that time, as fast as it comes. We believe it would enable us to pay out, and pay up, as we ought to each month, without dragging everything along to the one season of the year when we get more than than just enough needed for our daily needs. Think this over. We believe it is worthwhile. Infirmary OCOTUERUDDEEUEROUESEREDEEEETECEO CER ECER ETE EEE EEE INFIRMARY August 14—We’ve a secret can you guess what it is?

Rev. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston took dinner with us Sunday before last and we hope they will come again. Seven new children came the sec- ond week of August and they seem to like it fine. Sally Boyd Farmer spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Deaton of Mooresville and she says she had a good time. A group of ladies from Lincolnton including Mr. Johnston’s sister came to see us yesterday and we hope they will come again. We have a new motor and also running water in the dentist’s office now and it sure is nice. We thank Mr. Thomas for the many peaches and grapes that we've had lately.

We can hardly wait until October 3. Then the pleasure starts. By the way we had a baseball game with Lexington Junior Orphanage last Thursday, they won 44-11, too bad.

They are taking five tents for the whole bnuch that are going. Each is going to have two quilts. and plenty of eats. When they come back we hope they report having had a good time. They are going to have a meeting to change groups Sept. Ist., and most of the boys are hoping they go to an- other group. Books will crawl in front of us on September Ist., and that’s worse than ever. We have almost given out of silent pictures, and no one knows whether we will get a vitaphone or not but we hope so.

Gilliland in the Lewisburg, W. Va. Orphanage Bulletin.) Parents have certain duties which are binding because of their relation} to their children. Among these one of | the most prominent is that of giving} to the child the best education possi- ble. Among the many reasons which might be set forth for the above state- ment the following are mentioned: Education widens one’s mental hor- izon, deepens one’s thoaghts, enlarges one’s life. This brings to a person a greater degree of happiness. Said a college man: “If my education added nothing to my success, it would be of greatest value because of the larger vision I have of life.’ in society. The crying need of the day is for cultured minds, for strong hearts and for consecrated lives. We want educated men and women who are willing and eager to spend their strength in service for their fellows. Once more: Education, if it be Christian, brings the souls into closer union with God. The student thinks over the thoughts of Diety. In science, in history and in literature some new revelation of Divine truth is brought before the mind. God is not a being afar off. He is near at hand, revealing himself in a thousand different ways affairs of men. Christian education, then, has in it so much value that it becomes not merely a duty but the highest privilege for parents to offer the children the best advantage the college can afford. leave them anything else or not.

It is just a few hours — not days — until our big opening game with Concord High | takes place. We have made so many prepara- tions for this and thought about it so long that it’s hard to think about any-| thing else right now. Our new football ! field is ready down to the last detail. The Refreshment Stand is up, and full of good things to eat, and the players are pepped up and rarin’ to go. The Davidson Band is going to dispense music on that occasion, and we are all pepped up over that. News from Concord is that their team is improv- ing every day, and that we are in for a tough time. Information from the Pep Meeting at Barium is to the effect that Barium just has to win. So that guarantees a redhot game. Just a word about the a | VOUTELLA ASU SU AA UENSELEEG NA EAEAAttNeSEEenEn Alexander - Dairy ALEXANDER, Sept. 18—Football | Season is approaching.

Marley Sigmon has a rooster whom noone has been able to catch. Everyone down here is getting on on the Booth. There’s a group of girls at Barium who, years ago, organized the Virginia Hall Mission Band. Their ways of making money were very lim- ited. They started out to sell a few things at the footboll games, and have been enabled in this way to take in quite a bit of money to later be contri- buted to the various church causes.

One has no occasion for boasting anyone to get. a child into the Orphanage.That is not the way they come in, If they are eligible for admission and a way can possibly be found, it is not need- ful that anybody urge the case or at- tempt to argue its merits. If one wants to make real efforts in connect- ion with the work of the Orphanage, let him get down to busineess and try to raise some money to send to offset the expenses of some 800 children already here.

On the second occasion, the report of the Orphange was made for seven minutes after ten o’clock on the clos- ing night of the meeting of Synod. All of the careful preparations in both of these instances going for nought. We were unable to detect any very serious effort on the part of Synod to take seriously the recommend- ations and requests of the Governing Board of the Orphanage. The Or- phanage suffered the two years fol- lowing the two events mentioned. On another occasion, this was when the Synod met at Concord, the plans for the presentation of the Barium Cause for Synod, were broken up at the last moment by the inability of one of the speakers to be present. So a substitute program was prepared at the last moment, and this was present- ed to the Synod at the regular time, and apparently at a time when the Synod was prepared to receive it. that the coming meeting of Synod | may be one like the one at Concord that the members of the Synod may for the time being, forget other things, and give the Orphanage a sympathetic hearing, and that they may carry away from this meeting a determination to bring to the var ious congregations within the Synod, the message of our need. It is unthinkable that this Institu- tion of which the Church is so proud and whose work at the present time is needed more than any time in its history, should be handicapped or curtailed when it is so easily within the power of our church to carry it on without hurt to any individual or any other church cause. On the night of September the 20, the Board of Regents meet in Raleigh for the purpose of preparing their report to the Synod.

There is an unusually large number of new children here, and the way they have fallen in to our way of living and have quickly become happy members of our family is another thing that increases our faith. The health situation as shown by our recent tubercular clinic, is another. All in all, when we review God’s blessing on the work here, it is impossible for our faith to weaken. Our credit is based on some- thing else. Our habit of paying bills promptly, and the assur. ance that money is going to come in to us, in sufficient amounts to care for our needs. Our credit has suffered from our necessary delay in paying bills. Our creditors still believe in the intent of the Church to ade- quately support the Institution.

Yet we go our ways and the word ne'er speak, The look give not,and the ear withhold, While needy thousands about us seek These great small gifts Sounded Like It Sometime ago a group of us wert discussing the various hardships wi have had to undergo this year. We were bemoaning ten-cent cotton, the drought, shortage of money,cte. We were particularly bewailing the fact that the Orphanage was facing a hard winter. The dry weath- er had cut down the hay crop to such an extent that practically our entire hopes were pinned on the final cut- ting of alfalfa, to tide us over the winter. We hadn't realized when we were talking about it, just how much we did depend on our several big alfalfa fields. The dry weather had already cut the production from these down from four to three cuttings, and the first two cuttings had been rather short. The clover was just about an entire failure. While we were discussing this some one came up and announced that the dreaded Army Worms were en- tering our alfalfa fields. A little in- vestigation showed that the rumor was a fact, and that they were al- firmly entrenched in these fields. We immediately went to cutting, but found that the worm was just one jump ahead of us on that. They enjoyed the alfalfa after it was cut just as much as when it was standing up, and the net result was that prac- tically our entire crop of alfalfa was destroyed, and it is a qquestion at this time whether the stand is not destroyed also.

We still have one boy at San- itoriu William Perry—who was sent there following the 1929 clinic We hope that he will soon be well enough to Jeave the Sanatorium. Our next big elinie will be the general clinic which is held in January, and after that there will be a tremendous harvest of tonsils and adenoids. May- be a stray appendix will be gathered These take up lots of time, and sometimes seem like nuisances, but when we compare our health re- cord now and with what it was before we started these, we are willing to pul up with a good deal more trouble our present high standing. —P. 0.

As one looks out the office window at the girl, one annot resist thinking of her appear- ance the day she came.

It is level, but we haven’t any grass on it yet and won't have until next spring. We hope to walk off with a victory when the Barium Tor- nadoes play their first game on this field. We have started corn harvest and in about two or three more days corn wil! be off of our mind We have cut and shocked about forty acres and still have about forty-five more to make into si- leage.

A few boys from the truck farm have also been changed to the farm group, making a total of thirty-nine boys on the farm. Mr. Cavin has some time keeping all of these boys jobs, but he keeps them go- ing all the time. There is not much work going on now since most of the boys are excused from work at four o'clock to practice football. Ab has not had much to say lately as the weather has been too hot for him. We had over fifty acres of beautiful green alfalfa over a foot and a half tall, and millions of worms, called “army worms, raided the fields in a day or two, and left nothing but the stalks. We mowed the stalks down and stowed them away in our mule barn. This has made a large shortage of hay for us, although we have some peavine hay waist high which is yet to be mowed and stowed away in the dairy barn.

Lee at center featured for Barium Springs] He was in every play, tackling from the side, from the front and from the rear. He was the backbone of the line and thebest man on the field that night. He also drew strong support from Donaldson and M. Lee, a pair of shifty ends that knew what it was] all about when it came to defensive work. Bill Cornelius and Dave Holton did the the outstanding work for the Black and Gold. Holton was a threat with his line plunging and _ his defensive work in backing up the line was beautiful to watch. Big Bill Cornelius, running with his eyes up, was the best ground gainer on either team. The fans got little chance to see just what kind of team Bob Allen has out at the high school due to the wet weather. Only two passes were tried, both by Barium Springs and one fell to the turf and the other was in- tercepted.

If our convictions are arrived at after study of an adequate kind and with accurate information behind it. we might answer the question affirm- atively, but is it not true that most jof us from our convictions are very apt to be wrong and even under the mose favorable circumstances are | not dependable; they certainly do not | indicate good citizenship. Just by way of illustration in the sphere of religion millions of people | believe that when man dies his widow should be burned alive; again, other millions are convinced that a man has a right to more than one wife at a time and still others are convinced that there is no God, while many world ought to be redistributed on a pro rata basis., Now these peopl have just as much right to their con- victions as we have to ours, but we know that they are wrong. But ad- mit for argument sake that they are |right does the convictions they hold make them good citizens? I claim that every man _ has a right to believe what pleases him, but his citizenship will be tested by the impact that his convictions and his life make upon the body politic; dees his convictions tend to ameliorte | the conditions of others? Is it a help- | ful contribution to the sum of human j knowledge, an uplift agency for human good? These are the tests as to whether convictions are synonimout with good citizenship. Conviction based on reason, know- iedge and human experience are one thing and prejudices based on selfish- ness is something else.—Columbia (S.C.) Little People. P. O.

Lillian then answered, “Well, it aint sowed.” Barnett Brothers’ circus was in Statesville a few days ago and Mr. Johnston carried us over to see it. We enjoyed it very much and hope we get to go again. One day this week “Mama Girt” and one of the big girls carried the baby girls to Statesville; when going in on Highway 26 some of the little girls said, Oh, this is the way we went to the circle meeting (circus) the oth- er day.” The babies are enjoying Kinder- garten very much, they come in most every day all excited over the doings in the school rox One of our girls had the privilege f going to the first night game of football at Winston Salem with Bar ium. It was very exciting, being a light game and the first of the sea- son. The score was () to 0 and as we hear over here weeks is school hool. Now it is, put it 6 to 0 in ovr favor. On Satupday evdiing September Zoth five of our big girls went to Davidson to see the football game between Davidson and Elon, in which we were proud to see Davidson wipe the other off the map.

School is near the end of the first month and everyone seems to be feel- Jennie ing fine and ready to go into the second month. We worked hard in our early foot- ball practice so as to be ready for Winston Salem High. This work was good for us and enabled us to almost beat Winston. Hewever they did not beat us, it turned out to be a scoreless tie. This was our first game under arc-lights and everyone sure liked it. This football team is out to make a perfect season and everyone is behind them. The members of the Concord Pres- bytery came today and we are letting them have vur first floor and we are going up stairs. We know they will feel at home in our cottage. Last month we forgot to mention that some of the boys had moved down to a house adjoining the campus known as the “Farmers Fraternity”. They seem to like it pretty well. Capt'n Jackins and Mr. Calhoun our dairy boss and school professor have just bought a new radio and it works just fine. The swimming pool seems to be out of use these days. Nobody seems to have a taste for the water. I guess the reason is, it is wetting to cold or everybody has worn his bathing suit out. We have been getting a good many grapes this seeason, but the truck- ‘arm boys seem to be giving out now. You will hear from us next month if there’is an} thing to write about.

It is the climax of the foothall season. To others of u- it is the epening of the hunting see son—when, with dog and gun, we ca ierget cur every day cares and*carry trouble to the birds. Th: sgiving Day is also associated in our minds wit! good m:als—turkey dinners, cranher- ries, p! asure, and recreation The fermers are winding up thei year's rk, creps are heing gathered mercha's 2 collecting their year’s and. all in all, it should bi oceasion. Most of the things associated in our minds about Thanks- giving e things that we do tor eur own haypomess. So mueh so that we are more apt than pot to have no time left for the religious observance of the day, or sharing with the fess for tunate those material things with which we are blessed. fhank-eiving Day means a lot to every person connected with an or pDhanage, ard we have” mentioned Thankseivin to many of our friends as the time draws near for us to cele- brat» that day: and we hear doubtful expressions from their lips. Some say there will not be much of a Thanks- giving Day this year. Very few come out and say so in plain words, but the impression seems to be that we have very litile to be thankful for this year. We find that the prices for farm crops are very low. Tobacco, cotton, wheat, are dewn and the only thing that seems to hold up its price—hay and corn--there is very little of. Manu- facturers say there has been no profit in their business; that they have lost money. The employees of manufactur- ing industries say they have been on short time so much that they haven't been able to make a living, and all in all, it does appear that we have jess to be thankful for this year. Now, why is this condition as it is? We read reports from all of our church causes, and we find all of them running behind. We find the orphan- ages that rely on Thanksgiving offer ings, largely, also running very far behind in their receipts. We are told that people are “hard-up” and can not pay as much, and the thought has ec- curred to some of us that possibly we have the cause wrong. What we have attributed as cause mav he effect: that it is because we have not shared our prosperity as we should that we now have less prosperity to share. and that that is the reason we have these troubulous times upon us. We won't argue that particular phase. We want to talk about one other thing. This Orphanage has a reduced revenue to go on. We have tried to exercise every economy that is possible. If there is a falling off in the present Thanksgiving season, it will be absolutely necessary to reduce the number of children cared for here. Now, a reduction of just a few chil- dren will not effect the expense bud- get uppreciably. It will take a rather heavy cut—at least twenty per cent— to really effect a relief. This will not be economical. It will be rather in the nature of a calamity measure, but it will be necessary. Now, one of the reasons given for the decreased revenue of the Orphan- age is the amount of local relief that each community has to give. There is widespread unemployment and that means that in every community, there are some people that have to be taken care of through local charities. Com- munities with this larger burden of lo- cal charities that they must carry, of- ten fcel that itis impossible to carry on their usual orphanage obligations. Let us suppose that this reduction in the amount of work the Orphanage is doing has to take place. This will throw back on every community cases that they will have to take care of. They will be the f account a happy most expensive sort of cases, because the Orphanage today is only accepting those children that have the least chance of having their dependency cared for through local agencies. It means that if the Or- phanage reduces, the local communi- ties will have their already heavy bur-| dens very much increased, and we wonder just what will be the saving, and what will be the outcome. Let us use an illustration: There is a chari- ty hospital located in a city. It is supported partly by the contributions ofindividuals. There happens to be an epidemic in that community. The epi- demic causes people to quit work. !t causes plants to shut down. It brings | on a severe economic upset. People haven’t the money then to contribut« to this hospital as formerly. Shall they close it up and take all the sick peo- ple into their homes to further muddle the eco.omic situation? That, to our mind, is somewhat the situation that will take place if the) Orphanage support is curtailed in the face of the present emergency. A re- | duction of twenty per cent in the Or- | phanage of Barium Springs, means: the sending home of seventy children, | or else our refusing to accept any fur- ther children for at least eighteen months. There are very few communities it our Synod that haven't made a call on us within the last two yeaars. We have managed to give some help ii every instance.

We've had both hot and cold weather this month. We certainly thank Mr. Grier for the heat we've been having these cold mornings. We surely have had our house fill- ed with patients his month. Nearly every day a little girl or boy comes in and informs us that he or she has the “chicken pox.” We had the pox all this month and Mrs. Lackey and her girls have been kept busy feeding hungry patients. Resha Mae Peele and Elizabeth Harrison have been with us so long that we feel like they are one of our family. We surely do enjoy hearing the Baby Cottage’s radio every morning and evening. (We don't mean the babies.) Miss Moore reports that she had a very enjoyable time on her vacation to Virginia last month. She tells us that by traveling by bus gives one a rare opportunity to see the country. She reached Danville, Va., in tim to see the mill strike which happpencd there. Mrs. Smith from Winston-Salem came to see her children last Satur- day and Mrs. Purcell from Cleveland came to visit her daughter, Sarah yesterday. We’re always glad to have friends to visit us.

It is a matter of opinion as to whether or not our hard times are the result of our lessened liberality, or whether the hard times are the cause of our lessened liberality, but | there can be no doubt or difference of opinion about the effect on our) local communities if the support of | the Orphanage is lessened in an ap- preciable amount. There are seventy-five thousand Presbyterians in the Synod of North Carolina. If each of them would give a dollar at season to the Orphanage, the orphan- age would not be relieved of its en- tire financial difficulties, but it would be certainly on the road to recovery. Is this too much? There are six- teen thousand in the Synod of North Carolina. The average daily wage or income of these families is well over five dollars. What would one day’s income from our en- ‘tire Presbyterian family, do for the Orphanage? It would bring us such a blessing that we believe this bless- | ing would be reflected over the en- tire state. We believe that this very | thing would be instrumental in bring- ing good times back to all of us. The affairs of men are in a muddle. We have too much wheat, so we go hungry. We raise too much cotton, so we go naked. We have too much money. (They say it only costs 2%» and yet we are bankrupt. Why is it? Haven't we forgotten that God is the affairs of men; that our difficul- ties can be swept aside in a moment by Him? What is the matter? Why do we suffer? Isn't it because we are praying God to do our part of the work, to carry our part of the burden? Is one day's wage too much?

Well we leave tha! for you to find out, because we dis remembered the score. Eats! Doggett! Juniors! Everythi: was o.k. and under perfect contri But the hardest thing to locate wa water. Of course there was “wat. water everywhere and not a drop t drink,”—that was our present prob jlem.The glorious, ideal, happy, most welcome, delightful, event ended. /much to our disappointment and we time to write from this place we warn! all arived back on the scene to fine hot water awaiting us. Mr. R. L. Johnson, Mr. J. B. John ston, Mr. W. C. Brown, left this A.M. for Wilmingten to attend the mect ing of Synod which is being held in the First Presbyterian Church there. Sho’ do miss them, but here’s wish lin’ them the best o’ luck. And since Mr. R. L. is away we Commercial girls are declaring this a week of holidays. Now for one of the biggest gaines of the season!! Barium beats States ville 14—0 on our Sloan Field, Friday, , Oct. 10.Both teams had a strong line up and husky lads played in the back field. Statesville put up a hard fight but we played just a little harder because of our tradition “No one shall score on us on our new field,much less lick us.” Sad, but true, we beat them Now we are going to take this op potunity to thank the Lenoir High School band for their delightful mu- sic. They can never know how much we appreciated it. (They must come again sometimes.) Everyone save up your nickles and dimes. We're gonna sell polar-bars, eskimo-pies, colas, goobars, ground peas and peanuts at our new stand And as for changes of the eats, if anyone has any newsuggestions, just name them. We’re here to serve the public. Our big 125 Ib. team played a snap py game with Salisbury last Satur day morning Oct.11 and beat ‘em well never mind the score—but as luck would have it; the game ended 388—0 in our favor. By the way we noticed a new coach sitting on the bench(here’s to Mr. Cal) and don’t know exactly what he said to the boys but he must have persuacive power, ’cause they sho’ did fight.

This table shows each month the contributions by the Presbyteries and how far be- hind or ahead they are on this schedule. The last column shows the standing. This does not mean that only $1.50 is expected from any member, but is used in re- porting on large groups like a Presbytery. We received in October, 1929, $6.- 009.79; this year it is $4,361.22. A mighty big falling off. Does this mean that everybody is holding back to give more Thanks- giving? The standing of the Presbyteries ranges from Winston-Salem some- thing over a month behind to Wil- mington over five months behind. Only two have passed the half-way mark. The entire Synod lacks more than eight (Sc.) per member of reach- ing the HALF-WAY mark. All in all, we have received to this date $39,000 less than the amount needed to run the Orphanage for this first seven moaths of the Church year. This is the equivalent of (52) cents per member. ‘HO° COTUPCECEDOA EDDA SEDC ETUC ETE Baby Cottage Baby Cottage, October 29—Howdy everybody! This is the voice of the Baby Cottage coming to you through the Barium Messenger. We have received a quilt, some clothings boxes, seven painted toys, ten bibs and seven doilies, and take this opportunity of publicly thanking the senders. We are proud of the record our boys have started on Sloan Field. We have played Concord, Statesville, North Wilkesboro, and China grove. The scores were respectively, 21—0, 14— 0, 54—0, 39—0 in our favor. Miss Scoggins, one our matrons, was called home on account of her father’s illness. We are certainly glad to have her back and to hear that her father is better. We wire delighted to have Miss Patterson to substitute for her and hope she can visit us again. We have had many visitors, some ladies from Salisbury, Statesville and Winston-Salem. We hope they will come back to see us. The Junoirs entertained the Seniors Oct. 11th, at East Monbo. Then Mrs. McGirt took the babies there for a picnic too. Not long ago our matron took us to the Log Cabin Filling Station between here and statesville to take supper. We have been enjoying our walks lately. We enjoyed especially the evening Miss Carson took us to the Waugh Place and let us play on the iawn. It was just like a park and we had a good time playing there. Mrs. McGirt took us to the spring hunting walnuts one Saturday evening. “Pap” Spencer fell in a branch the other day while trying to get across to get some walnuts. Well anyhow she got the walnuts. We think we have enough now to last us through the winter. We don’t have but twelve children now. The rest have chicken pox and are down at the Infirmary. We hope they are not very sick and will soon return to us. The weather is getting colder every day, causing us to put on our shoes. The girls are kept busy tying shoe strings and washing socks for the kids. This is the end of our program. So good-bye till next month. “Us Babies” —P. 0.

All the scoring was done in the first half. Lenoir High School’s crack Band, one of the best in high school circles and the Statesville High School Band add- ‘ed color and zest to the gala occa- sion, Although trailing 14 to 0 at the end |} of the first half. Coach Perdue’s men. with new blood thrown into the line- up, staged a brilliant comeback in the third quarter, coming within an ace of scoring a touchdown via the air route when on a sensational play Joe Sherrill flipped a 40 yard pass to Vin- cent who took the sailing oval on the dead run near the Barium 30 yard line and raced 10 yards more before being brought down by Lee West, Ba- rium's safety man. On the next play some unnecessary roughness on the part of the local eleven cost them a 15 yard penalty and probably a chance to score a touchdown, but on the very next play, another pretty pass, Sher- rill to Vincent netted 20 yards and almost a first down.

We have finished preparing our land for wheat and have it all in the ready for the cold weather to come in order that we ground and snow 0 Rumple Hall OOCUDOCEE CURT TOUTS ECR O TOE Rumple Hall Oct. 22—Here we are again happy as can be. We are all hop- | ing Thanksgiving will be here and gone because we want Christmas to come so bad. We sure have enjoyed the football games. The last one was with North Wilkesboro and the score was fifty- four to nothing in our favor. That Was sure enough a good game. We certainly do thank Mr. John- ston and Miss Greene for our new hymn books. They sure are nice and we hope everyone will take more in terest and sing louder; that means for more children to sing. Miss Miller, our matron went hom» Monday evening and reported a nice time. She brought a quilt back that she started & years ago. It certainly is pretty. We sure do thank Miss Miller and Charles Forte for the nice little ride the other day. We are having a time with the leaves now. They are all over the vards and we are working trying to get them up. We certainly blessed have been with tle green beans since the sum- mer was so dry. We are still habe green beans. They are good too. Mr. Johnston made a report on Ba rium Thursday morning in Wiiming ton and we believe it was an interest- ing repcrt because if you coulgghear him talk one time, I believe you ld ;much for us. Next week is our test week. Two months of school gone, and we are all trying hard to make the honor and merit rolls. Copies of this Publication Mailed Direct to Presbyterians in North Carolina Synod Each Month Total have 16,000 “When Winter Gomes” At Barium Farm Does Battle With Newground Corn Crop Harvested, And Stover Stored For Winter—Boys ‘iva La Football!” a fine crop to harvest next spring. We have also finished cutting all of our sileage corn and now we are about through shredding our crop of corn that we had shocked for the mules and hogs. The corn is not turn- ing cut as good this year as it did last year because of the unusual drought that hit it at the time when plenty of rain was needed most. Winter is almost here and all of the farm crew sure hate to see it coming because during the winter is the time that we spend in the new grounds grubbing stumps and cutting wood to be sold to our near by neighbors who wish to buy from us. We usually lear obout ten or fifteen acres of new ground each year and we are expect- ng to clear as much if not more this vear, !t won't be long now until we will be killing hogs and having fresh sau- sage for our supper. As we have summed up the most mportant events of the month I think that it is time to close until next month has passed. So good-bye THE STUMP PULLERS Follow Gov.-Medium To Diagnose Child Sickness, Avers Rogers. I am mighty glad so many people in America are taking up the children work. I used to think there would be some chance of getting our govern- ment interested in it, but that was | hoping too much. Being a ranchman and farmer and also a child owner, I ; have often wished that when one my }children got sick I could wire or call up scme Gov’rnment expert and have him look after them, like I can do if one of my cows or pigs get some di- ; sease. with your land the Government will send a specialist, but if the food is not agreeing with the baby, why, we have to find out what is the matter ourselves, and lots of times parents mean well but they don’t know much. So I am glad that you people are interested in children. Course they are lots of trouble, but we just don’t seem | to be smart enough to find something that would be less trouble that would replace them. That’s the only thing we are shy now is synthetic children. it’s not a bad idea whoever thought of doing something for the children, If it works and you improve them ;t will send you mine.—American. ; Child Health News Bulletin. } —-P. 0.

My but we were happy. {Then the very next week Statesville High came down to take the honor | from us. We certainly were shakey | because some our best players were | laid up with injuries. But that did not seem to make much difference, be- | cause they went right on and won the |game from Statesville. Lenoir and | Statesville sent their bands for this |game. We certainly did enjoy their | playing. It sure was good to have such | good music and have such good look- | ing boys to play it!. Old Barium seems to have up her fighting spirit this fall and will not let any team score on her. Now if she only keeps this up throughout the season we will have something to shout about. Next Friday, the 17th—we have a game with North Wilkesboro, and if you want to see something worth while come over for it. Rev. W. C. Brown and Mr. R. L. Johnson are in Wilmington this week attending the meeting of Synod. Mr. J. B. Johnston will be there to pre- ; sent the Orphanage report on Thurs- day morning. We hope it will open the eyes of Synod to our needs here. Some kind friends supplied Mr. Johnston with enough candy to give }us all a taste which is helping to keep us sweet. We dont play all of the time up here, and our school work shows it, because somebody is study- ing hard enough to get on the merit roll with some even on the Honor Roll. Oh, we Freshies may be green, | but we certainly are improving. Why | even our matron says so and you know if she says it, it must be true. We want to tell you of the lovely surprise we had last week. When we went to dinner we found every- body was to have chicken. The only reason we did not faint was because we were afraid the other fellow would get our piece, and we didn’t dare risk it. Just think what that meant to our big family, and the chickens were home-grown, too. We hope some more will grow fast! | The Tenth and Eleventh Grades | went on a picnic last Saturday after- ;noon and say they had a fine time.

This table shows each month the contributions by the Presbyteries and how far be- hind or ahead they are on this schedule. The last column shows the standing. This does not mean that only $1.50 is expected from any member, but is used in re- porting on large groups like a Presbytery. The returns at this time are some- thing like the very first election re- turns. They may indicate the out- come of the election, or they may not. | We believe in this case that it cer- tainly has something to do with the) number of votes, at least. We have been vitally interested in| just how hard times was going to ef- | fect the Thanksgiving offereing. We have had many gloomy predictions | PRETANGES Rafore finally on football, we want to reprint two editorials. One appeared inthe Charlottesville Va., paper, and tells something of the esteem in which the Charlottesville Fives were held in the minds and hearts of their own town. The other is from the pen of Harry Griffin, Sports Editor of the Char- lotte Observer, and tells something of the esteem in which Barium teams are held in it’s home community. It’s a fine thing when two such teams meet, regardless of who wins. singin ni aa the aunts Champions In Victory Or Defeat The defeat of the Fives by Barium Springs, midget representatives of North Carolina, yesterday, was a football upset that produced deep re- gret not only here, but all over the large territory through which the game little fellows have traveled marking up victory after victory. Their loss of the eastern chmpionship was taken to heart more because it had become habitual hereabout merely to calculate by how many touchdowns they would win any game. Charlottes- ville had ceased to feel they could be beaten by any team that could quali- fy in their class. The blow falls hard- er, therefore, for the reason that per- haps loyal and confident backers of the team failed to take inte account the strength of their opponents and thus be prepared in a measure for the outcome. But there will be no alibis. This great little football machine would not know how to make them even if it had not been trained to feel there was no such thing in the make-up of a genuine sportsman. The Fives have had no experience losing yet it is guaranteed that they will take the short end of this score with the same grace that has characterized their de- meanor under the stress of many im- pressive victories. The man or the boy or the team that knows how to win has already leammed the more important lesson of knowing how to lose. Firm in the knowledge that they have done their best; played the game squarely and skilfully, the Fives accept with man- ly fortitude a single defeat even as they have acknowledged with modest graciousness the plaudits which have followed a succession of glorious vic- tories. It is only on the scoreboard that even this one loss is recorded. In the hearts of those who love clean sport, admire grit and stamina and know football when they see it play- ed, Bob Osborn’s youngsters remain champions of all four points of the compass. Barium Springs Okay We certainly want to congratulate as to the outcome of this, and at this time, we can only make a very par- tial report, but that is all to the good. The few churches and other or- ganizations that we have heard from have been almost without exception something like this: “We did hot ex- pect as large a contribution at this season, but are surprised when it to- talled up a few dollars more. There seem to be more people taking an interest and making an offering this year than ever before, and while there are not as many large gifts, the total is up to that of last year.” Of course, we do not know whether this condi- tion is going to keep on applying through the entire Synod, but we just believe it is, and we believe that the money contributed this year which | carries more sacrifice with it than | ever before, is going to be blessed in this work in an unusual degree. It | gives us who work at Barium Springs renewed courage and faith in our |God and our Church. that Barium Springs midget football team on its victory over the highly touted and publicised Charlottesville vieven, ciaiimahes vl ie uativnal ii- tle. “All along I have had an idea that Joe Johnston’s boys could take the measure of the Virginians. Those Barium teams are as finely coached as any team one would wish to see. With an exceedingly small group to pick from, the Barium coaches al- ways round teams that more than hold their own against elevens from large schools. The fight those boys put into the game is largely responsible for the victories they chalk up. They are never licked until the final whistle blows. They go into the game, de- termined to win, play clean ball and are generous in victory. They lose occasionally, though very rarely, and are good losers. To them and all of the teams, and the midgets in particular, our heartiest congratu- lations. —_—_-P. 0. H——- We haven't mentioned any of our Thanksgiving entertain- ments, because we know that they are going to be spoken of at length in the various cottage \On Thanksgiving, one football team was playing in Charlottes- ville, Virginia. Another in Greensboro. The matter of transportation for two teams in such widely separaate places was quite a problem. It didn’t appear possible for anybody but the bare teams to go. A friend in Greensboro heard about this and thought it would be a crime for our team to come to Greens- boro without a rooting section, and he made it possible for twenty-five girls with their cha- perones, to get to Greensboro by bus, and then he provided enter- tainment for the entire party while in Greensboro. Two splen- did meals at the O’Henry Hotel, and a picture show and enough candy to eat on the way home were just part of the things that this man did for us that day. His name is getting to bea fa- miliar one at Barium. Several years ago, he started doing things for us, and now there are just lots of things that have his name connected with them. He is a great big man. He'd have to be big to provide room for that heart of his. Preyer. His name is Bill letters.

One tie game for the 100-pound team, and everything else victories. twenty-six games altogether. For the varsity these victories include over one Class-A team; victories over two conference teeams, and two over Class-B teams. Victories over one Farm Life School and one Orphanage. Ties with two Junior Colleges, and a defeat by one Junior Cel- lege. The Midget teams have been undefeated. Their last and most spectacular victory wae jover the Charlottesville Fives, a Club that has been undefeated seasons, and that have very properly laid claim to Ne- tional Championshin. This game was played on Thanksgwing j}morning in Char lottesville, Va., and had quite a large number of people to see it.

Considering the small nwm- ber of boys to choose from end their age limit, we consider this a very remarkable athletic re- cord.

Barium Springs, North Carolina, December, 1930 Ghristmas Is Coming E WONDER what would become of the grown folks in the world if there were no such thing as Christmas. We always think of Christmas as the time for joy to be young people. But really, we believe that the benefit is greater for grown folks than it is for children. Children are pretty happy citizens anyhow. They get a good deal of pleasure out of «ch day as it comes along. Such troubles as they have ar« possibly just for the moment. With grown people it is different. They may have ninety per cent of good fortune during the day and just ten per cent of bad, but the way we are constituted, we will | spend twenty-three of the twenty- four hours worrying over that ten-per-cent bad fortune, and not thinking at all of the ninety-per- cent good. Even now at Thanksgiving time, when we should all be enumer- ating in our own minds, the many things we have to be thankfu for, we are conjuring up pictures in our mind of what will happen to us, if certain things do not come to pass. We are not even con- tent with the hardships that we may be enduring now, but we ever borrow from the days to come, so that we can be perfectly miser able. When Christmas comes along, we are somehow swept out of our- selves by the spirit of the occasion. We have to forget, for a time, our cares and worries in the sheer comtemplation of the joy o} Christmas . Isn’t it fine that it comes right at the end of the year, to refresh us and clear up our minds that we may start the New Year with something of the courage and enthusiam of children. We wouldn't know that the world is so full of good people, if il were not for Christmas. We wouldn't know that everybody that we know, each and everyone, have so much of good in them. If it wer not for Christmas we all might successfully hide the good that is each of us. And then, at Barium, there is something else about Christmas that makes it even more enjoyable occasion than any other else. Santa Claus always remembers us most abundantly, and other friends make it a time of joy. And the day after Christmas this year, is going to be HOME-COMING DAY FOR ALL BARIUM SPRINGS BOYS AND GIRLS, This Home-Coming Day has been most enjoyable since it has been started.There is always at least one of the orginial bunch of children here; and some from each generation of children that have passed through Barium Springs. Of late years. there has been enough grand-children back to start a sizeable colony. It’s fine to talk to these grand-children. They feel toward Ba- rium Springs just like we feel over going to grandfather's. It’s a wonderful place they have heard their parents talk about so much, that it is like being in Fairyland to some of them. For that one day, Barium Springs is again the home of men and women who at one time found shelter as little children. No pro- gram is set for that day. It is a day of swapping experiences. Re- newing acquaintances. Quite often brothers and sisters who have not seen each oter for years, have a re-union on this occasion. We are looking for the biggest crowd ever this year on December the twenty-sixth, and hope that we can thus have a two days Christmas. M MES S&8 | rg. M The Sunday Before % . + Thanksgiving Sunday before Thanksgiving is the | | very busiest Sunday of the whole year jfor Barium Springs. So many things have to be done that are important | and that have a bearing on the future welfare of the Orphanage, and even| try as we might, all the things that should be done can not be done. The Monday after this Sunday is a day of pleasant memories, because the contacts that we have with our friends everywhere are most enjoy- able. A party of our very young children, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Carson, went to Winston- Salem. They gave a brief program before the Sunday School of the First Presbyterian Church, and also during the church service. They came back bubbling over with tales of turkey, ice cream, and good times generally, and each one with a contribution of $5.00, given to them to turn in indi- vidually. It was a wonderful occa- sion for these youngsters and nobody at Barium feels any more important today than they do. Messages were delivered by Manager during the morning vice at the First Church, Greenshoro, and during the evening service at Steele Creek Church near Charlotte, and then to wind up the day, a broad- ‘ast over WBT in Charlotte was ar- ranged for the benefit of all the Or- phanages in North Carolina. The Manager of Barium Springs Orphanage, as a member of the North Carolina Orphanage Association, wa ommissioned to arrange this parti ‘ular program. ‘The speakers on this program was Mr. F, O. Clarkson, Trustee of Thompson Orphanage, Charlotte, and Mr. Julian Miller, Edi- tor of the Evening News, Charlotte The musical part of the programs was arranged by Mrs. J. Nick Sloan, of Charlotte, and she, together with Mrs. Hynson Brown, Mr. C. W. Up- ehurch, and Mr. J. E. Caldwell, form- ' | | the ser- piano. This program was given at 10:00 P. M. In arranging program, the thing that struck us most particular- iy was the willingness that each one this taking part. It appears that the Orphanages of North Carolina are very near to the hearts of everybody. ft isn"t just contributions in money that they get, but contributions in service. Every one of the people contributing to the broadcast in Charlotte and to the other broadcasts over the State, ar- ranged at three other points, were busy people. There are many calls on them for their services, and yet in every case, they most cheerfully responded and most carefully carried nut their part of the program. We want to also thank the Radio WBT, for the use of their ‘acilities so cheerfully donated during this important time. The stations at Raleigh, Greensboro, and Winston- Salem had also allowed a broadcast at different times during this same day. The readiness with which these broadcasting stations helped the Or- phanage programs is another evi- dence that our country is all right. If we didn’t ever need anything, it’s doubtful if we could realize how very many people there are in the world ready to help the helpless. We extend thanks to all who had part in any of these programs, or who allowed us the use of their facilities, in helping this very necessary campaign for Orphanage Day —P. 0.

C., December, 1980 * EXCHANGES GEORGE-YOU-D The greatest question with us these days is who will accept the respon- sibility. When responsibility is divided | among more than than 200,000 people it does not press very heavily upon any individual composing so large a| group. Among so many it is easy, as we say, to pass the buck and to say, “Let George do it’. Last year an est-)| imate showed that when the division of responsibility was made one child required 666 Babtist people to pay his full support. It looks as if a great many must have forgotten all about their responsibility, or else that only a few even began to accept it.

If we could only manage to get more folks to feel a sense of responsibility for these bills, it would be a very easy thing to direct the business end of the Or- phanage.—Connie Maxwell Monthly. This epidemic seems to be on the widespread; for at Barium Springs there are 366 children in the Orphan- age, and 73,000 members in the Synod of North Carolina. Draw your own conclusions. CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK Why should every movement go forward and the orphanages go back- ward? Why should the standards of living of all our people steadily im- prove and the orphanage remain the same?

FAITH Some people say that farming is a gamble. Some more people say the stock market is ditto. Our farming this year was a losing game almost from the start. We planted, —yet there was no in- erease. I think the farmers show the most tenacious faith of any class of citizens.

Everthing is just fine at this cot- tage, everybody happy and just wait- Jennie 20th—We are ng for Christmas. During Christmas time we get several holidays and that s what we are looking forward to. Everybody at this cottage is a foot- | ball player, that is everybody goes out ‘or football. The varsity team and the 125 Ib. team are composed mostly of fennie Gilmer boys. But it won’t be ong until football will be over, just wo more games. We need not worry bout something to do for basketball will follow and when that ends, track will hold the limelight. Shrubbery has been planted around nur cottage and it looks fine. Our ‘ront yard always was bare looking, sut now it looks like a new home. When we played Lees-McRae, the football team spent the night in our ottage. We hope they enjoyed their stay. Latest news from the Farmers Fra- ernity House indicates that they are i wee bit cold. We understand that \. J. “Horse” Potter is to ride them o breakfast on mornings when the 1ud is deep and sloppy. Well, horses vill be horses. “Thug” Todd, our cement head sub- titute guard, is very ill due to a re- apse of the brain. Todd is the spirit f our team—on the bench.

Published by Yooational Department of Printing at Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, Baby Cottage AAGGACRGATEA AAA ERA CAAT BABY COTTAGE News, Nov. 24— Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! Guess it is time for some more news from us, but it seems like we write every other day. We got tired of hear- ing the door-bell calling for us to write the news so we decided to write it. We really have some news this time. Thanksgiving has already been to our door. Some nice people from Salisbury came to visit us and brought so many good things that we have been enjoy- ing them ever since. They brought something we had been longing for a good while. Bananas! Does that not sound good? It does to us; we’ve had them on cream, banana pudding, cake and other deserts. Eight of us are going to Winston- Salem Thursday to give a program. We hope they will all like it. We've done our best te make it a good one. We're expecting to enjoy it also be- eause they’ve told us they were going to send their cars and Chauffeurs for us. And then after we have given our program we are to be given dinner So you see we are looking forward to 1t. Have you heard the Belmont and Barium score. It was six to nothing in Belmont’s favor; our first defeat, but we had a chance to see whether we were good losers as well as good victors. Two of the big girls went and returned telling us what all they had seen, “Mama Girt’ has been sick this week, but is better now. We helped her to get better by being good and quiet when she was so sick. We thank the many friends who came to help out while she was sick. We have written our “Santa Claus Letters” and are looking forward to Christmas on past Thanksgiving be- cause writing our letters made us get excited about it. We've received some nice bibs, pil- low cases and other things, for which we want to thank our friends. Marie Morgan has also received her clothing which was a perfect fit and she looks so nice in them that we’d like for her clothing people to see her in them. Last Saturday we had a visit from some people who brought us chewing gum. You should have seen us smack, probably in our excitement some of us forgot to say “Thank you” so we'll say it now and hope you'll forgive us if we didn’t do it before. Herbert and Juanita McMasters had a visit to-day from relatives. They enjoyed this visit and we hope they can come again to see them. Murphy McGirt came up from Max- ton Junior College to see his and our “Mama Girt”. They, with Miss Mc- Googan went to Hampden Sydney to see her other big son play foot-ball. Miss Ruth Johnston came over and stayed with us while Mrs. McGirt was away. We hope she can come again to see us. All of us are well and back to the Baby Cottage again. Hope we will stay well from now on. “Mama Girt” wasn’t able to go to church Sunday so she tuned in on the radio and heard Mr. Johnston talk from Greensboro about the Home. She enjoyed it very much. Since we started our news, the bab- ies have been on the much looked for- ward trip to Winston-Salem. They came back tired, sleepy but reported a wonderful time. The most talked of things was the turkey, ice-cream. Each one came back with a gift and some extra toys for the Kindergarden and also a nice gift for the home, given by one man, and we hope this wont be the cnly returns from our friends. For we are all so anxious to see the Home on its feet again. It’s getting late so we will bid you adieu until next time. We wish all our friends a happy Thanksgiving. —THE BABY COTTAGE —P. 0.

H.m— In November the ladies of the several Charlotte churches took up a contribution of shrubbery for Barium Springs. This was started and sponsored by the Woman's Auxiliary of the First Presbyterian Church. The re- sult of this was a big truck load 1f assorted shrubbery that was aathered up and left at the First Presbyterian Church. It was then brought to Barium Springs md distributed to the various cottages. The different matrons took on over this as much as children do over a Christmas tree, and in a very short time al! of this shrubbery was in the ground and at this time is flour- ishing. Naturally this was comment- od on in the newspapers of the State. We have had quite a few responses, and additions to this donation. In fact, one man who does not wish his name used du- vlicated this gift byy sending us another truck load of beautiful and choice evergreens, and the end is not yet. We believe that Barium Springs will be quite a different looking piace in the winter time on account of the thoughtfulness of these Char- lotte friends. Miscellaneous Gifts one 9 os Ss. S.

We will have our offering for the or- phanage, Wednesday night, and we are trying to get some money to give. The winter wind is surely playing with our leaves today. And we enjoy playing with them ourselves. Several visitors have been to see us this week. We are always glad to have people visit our cottage. We want to thank the people who sent us the scraps recently. They should come now and see us make doll dress- es. We wrote our Christmas letters last week and everybody is talking about what they will get. We want to thank the boys and Miss. Lackey for the goo sausage which they have been giving us. IRENE FORTE. —_-P. 0. H-—_—_ Old Steele Creek Church nev- er forgets us when it comes to Thanksgiving time, and on Tues- lay before Thanksgiving, a big truck load of chickens and other assorted good things arrived in time to decorate our table for Thanksgiving. The Gleaners Class of the High Point Church, not only take up a big collection for us each year, but bring it themselves. This year, they brought it on Tuesday and it didn’t have a single apology for hard times, bad weather, poor crops, or anything of the kind. lt just had a few additional dol- lars over their very generous offering a year ago, and they seemed glad about it. Isn’t that fine! We don’t believe hard times can last in the face of such doings. The Salisbury Auxiliary made it’s annual pilgrimage to Bar- ium with gifts of fruit avd money, and not a one in that party talked about hard times, or about how hard money was to raise. But when the total of their contributions was adaded up, it was quite a afew dollars more than their 1929 offering. UU Ue ayA en ee een een ean en anata Miscel.

All of a sudden we find ourselves in the midst of a Thanksgiving sea- son—a holiday and just about as sud- den somebody is going to be intro- ducing Christmas to us. That is one time at Barium that no artist’s brush or pencil pusher can describe.
