We want you to examine the above table very carefully. [t is not discouraging. The econ- ions from the whole Synod shew improvement. There has $40,000.00 through the Thanksgiving offering up to date, und some still due to come in, we feel sure. This is better thar the contributions in 1929, and were it not for the carry over of debt the Orphanage finances would not be in bad shape at all, | and we could look forward to the New Year without any misgiv-| ings whatever. As it is however, we have a most distressing debt still on us. and this debt is pressing and embarrassing to us, and it is out of | the question to think of allowing it to grow any larger. We are mentioning this, so that our friends may not feel that the effort made Thanksgiving is sufficient to carry us through this new year. Barium Springs operates twelve months in the year. It has heavy expenses each month, and it is the failure to provide for these months as they come along that piles up the debt so large that the Thanksgiving offerings cannot retire it. Let’s make one big New Year’s Resolution and hang on to it; That we will send to Barium Springs each month sufficient | for their needs. There are many things to be thankful for as we look back over our past year. We have done bigger work: have cared for more children and handled double the number of applications! of any previous year. We have done this and stayed with our budget, and our people have responded sufficiently so that for the current year's business the financial needs we taken care of. When we consider the very great financial distress over our state during this period that this covers. we feel that we should . be encouraged to look forward with renewed faith to the New ear, ' re AUSCCUUUEERC EASA DSUUNELELETLAOORRPLLLANEELLINEGOES MONO nnn ees oward NOSUUOPSODUAT DESO SROUERRIDEEAOU EERE TETIREEULECECHEE CURUERERODORURERTEREUDERERAEEADOEEDROESEOTERTNECT EEE LEFS COTTAGE, Dee. 17—It is time for us to tell the “Barium Mes- | senger” what we have been doing at| Lees Cottage This morning all the boys rushed out when the rising bell rang, to see | the snow.It is nearly a foot deep.

Virginia Turning Back The Scroll of Time If you go to Williamsburg, Vir- ginia, you can see it growing back- ward two hundred years under your very eyes. This oldest city in the country, now going back to its pre-Revolutionary days under incorporated the magic power of Rockefeller mon- ey, is described by Dorothy Ducas in McCall's. ‘Duke of Gloucester Street in ori- ginal Williamsburg, Virginia, first in- corporated city in America, oldest city still possessing its early houses, roads traditions, now the scene of a $10, 000,000 face-lifting operation. Whi! other cities strugzie to become more up to date, Williamsburg strives to create within itself a faithful repro- | duction of the city it once was. “It actually is metamorphising into the Colonial tity which, in 1699, be- came the seat of government of the Virginia Colony, the official head- quarters of the Royal Governor, It has five more years of struggle ahead before it succeeds—five more years of plotting, planning, experimenting until it is the natural museum of that its patron wishes it to be. But now one can see journal that “scoop” the world om the Declaration of Independence was published. In its Raleigh Tavern, now completely rebuilt, the learned soc- iety of Phi Betta Kappa was formed. “To the college at the end of the street at different times came Wash- ington, Jefferson, Monroe, Tyler Ber- jaman Harrison, John Marshall, Pey- ton Randolph, John Blair. Its churcla Bruton Parish oldest Epis- copal church in America in continu- ous use, and the bell in its tower which rang first with the repeal of the stamp act in 1766, rings out on Sundays now announcing the hours ‘of worship. In the Capitol building were offered the resolutions first call- ing the Continental Congress to de- clare the colonies free and independ- ent. “Williamsburg, standing at crose- roads between past, present, and fut- lure, is infinitely more exciting to me {today than it wil] be when the plans ‘of zt.

Barium Springs, North € Yarolina, February, 1931 ————————— == January Athletics January's athletic program got un- der way Saturday, January the third. On this night, one team of our girls played Cleveland in basketball; and were defeated 22-11. Then our boys played the Cleveland boys and defeat- ed them 37-8. The last game of the evening was between Barium’s first ng girls and the Raleigh Methodist phanage; and in this game our girls were defeated 22—18. One remarkable thing about this defeat was the fact that the Raleigh girls had played a hard game with Thomasville Orphanage on Friday night, then travelled to Barium next day, and in spite of all of this, were able to put up a fast exhibition te de- feat our girls. In this game the score at the end of the half was 16—5 in favor of Raleigh. The second half started off points were scored, 185—16 in favor ef Barium before Raleigh could get her offense to working. Then three field goals were sufficient to bring de- feat to Barium. Lucille Long. the oniy “left over” from our 1930 varsity team, scored every one of the eighteen points for | Barium. In the game with the Cleveland] two splendid games. Our girls defeat- ed the Mills Home girls 37-24, and the boys defeated the Mills Home boys The difference in scores would indi- cate that our teams are much better. But we believe that if the Mills team had had a full sized court to practice on, that the score would have been very close, as they had excellent ma- terial and did most excellent playing, but were naturally handicapped from being unfamiliar with a court the size of ours. On this afternoon, our wrestling team went to Davidson for a work- eut with the Davidson varsity, to get themselves lined up for their opening meet, a week later. On Tuesday, January the 13th, the Harmony girls were played in the et ; poets tafternoon, and were defeated 32-14, with a rush for Barium, and thirte en! and that night, the boys defeated Harmony 15-6. Harmony had a team of tall boys and they played good ball. Our boys were put to it more to win in this game than in any they had played. As soon as Harmony gets to clicking they are going to be mighty hard to beat. On Wednesday the 14th, our mid- get basketball team journeyed to Statesville for their first game, and girls, our second string girls showed | barely defeated Statesville by a score lots of promise. We have an abund-} o¢ 10-7. Both teams played vather mee eee and we beggn="g phat | slow ball, although there were times before the year is out we will have! guring the game when beautiful bas- a team like the one that represented Barium in 1928, '29, and ’30. Our boys easily defeated Cleveland boys and it was hard to tell how good they were. On January the 6th., in the after- noon, our girls defeated Hiddenite 29—22. In this game, something like 20 substitutes were used. If the first string girls had stayed in all the time, no doubt the score would have been higher. Nettie Miller materially as- sisted Lucille Long in the scoring. That night, the Barium boys de- feated the Hiddenite boys, 26—-11. It happened that on this day, two of the basketbali boys were injured. Morris Freeman cut his foot with an ax, and just a few minutes later, Paul Pitman had a similar injury to his knee. Paul’s injury was not so serious, however, and he was able to play that night, and played unusualiy good ball. There was really some talk of using an ax on several of the other boys to speed them up!! But it didn’t seem necessary. On Saturday, January the tenth, we bad as our guests, the Mills Or-, phanagé boys and girls, and we had ketball was in evidence. On Saturday, January 17th, three of our teams made rather long trips. Our girls journeyed to Raleigh to battle the Raleigh Methodist Orph- anage girls on their own grounds, and met with a most disastrous defeat. Raleigh defeating us 34-20. This is the worst defeat our girls have suf- fered in over four years, and the vic- tory was clearly earned by the Raleigh girls. They played magnificient ball. One player on the Raleigh team scoring 30 points. Our boys played the same day with the Oxford Orphanage at Oxford and were defeated 15-7. This was the first defeat for our boys during this season. They say it is going to be the last. On the same date our wrestling team journeyed to Chapel Hill to try conclusions with the University of North Carolina Freshmen. Very little publicity was given to this match, but in spite of that, there were pos- sibly two hundred people cut to see the fracas. The match resulted in a score of 26-3 in favor of Barium.

In January we come to th realization that Thanksgiving is over, and that there are still a lot bills yet to be paid; that we have to keep right on living, and that the stream of money coming to us has dwindled down to a trickle. And then January is a time for re- ports, to explain to everybody what we have done with everything that during the past has come our way year; and that is not always easy. To go back over the past year and babe the records of the way each | problem has been met, whether it has to do with finances, © ith accepting children, or with idininistration, ana to get these all in an orderly array while meeting fres! problems at ev- ery turn.

It has brought us many joyes and much for which we are truly thankful. If we sincerely believe that “allthings work together for good to them that love God” we can give Him thanks for all that has come to us, both prosperity and adversity, and success and failure pleasure and pain. Even the severe drought we experenced, was a blessing to us, and to the poor'generally. It brought to God’s people a conscious- ness of need, which is not realized in more prosperous times. Many there- fore, have experienced the blessedness of ministry and many more have been blessed in being ministered to. I some- times think it is asking much of mortal man to expect him to be thank- ful for everything. But, if we remem- ber that we are not mere mortals, that we are “partakers of the divine nature,” then we are mortal, plus; then it is entirely possible for us to realize that we are guided by Him. and that “He doeth all things well.” There are no New Years with God. All is an eternal now with Him. Time, as much as we usually plant. Our flock of sheep has been increas- ed by six more lambs which makes a! total of about forty-eight. | Mr. Nesbit has been busy during, January.

With God, all is eternity. There are no surprises for Him, He is never looking forward to a “better day,” as we are. “He is the same yesterday, today and forever.” I think, however, that it is good for us to make an inventory once in awhile, and ; make resolves for better things. There is no better time for it than the begin- ning of a New Year. If we are not a little better, if we do not know more of Him, if we live the same routine lives as last year, we are stagnating. All life is expected to increase in cap- settled! acity, in size, and become better adjusted to conditions. The christiaan life is no exception—in fact, it is there that we should expect to find the greaiest improvement. There is such a thing as a full-grown man.

He RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT Righteous judgment is ours when we learn to disregard appearances and to look to the reality within. We judge our fellow men righteously, not by their single acts, but by re cognizing their divine natures and by considering the inner thoughts which prompt their acts. To judge people in this manner, it is necessary that we cultivate a spiritual vision; our judg- ment must be tempered with love. We should learn to use righteous judgment ccpicerning conditions in life. We cannot rightly judge a busi- ness by a single sale, or a position by one month’s wage, or our circum- stances by a single incident. When we see things, persons, or conditions wholly instead of seeing them only partially, we are able to use righteous judgement concerning them. —Elise Hilltop —P 0.

A few more months and win- ter will disappear, then we will have spring much to the joy of everybody. Lots of colds and coughs as usual. Several of our boys have been to the infirmary and are now better. But as a whole we have a pretty good bunch of boys; that is for not getting sick. They go around bareheaded and stand up under the cold weather just fine. They just won’t wear caps. Things went back to the fireplace a week ago. Our largest boiler went out of fix and we established ourselves before a big fire over at our big brick jouse. Our boys’ basketball team which is from this cottage, has won about four rames and lost one. The loser was after we had taken a long trip to Ox- ford. Maybe we'll get them next year. While on this trip the girl’s team lost to the Raleigh Methodists, but on down the line at Chapel Hill our wrestlers defeated the U. N. C. Fresh- man wrestlers. We are proud of them because they seemed tobe the only ones who could bring back the bacon. And that isn’t all they defeated the David- son College varsity in a workout at Davidson.

The biggest Carnival of the season is to be held tonight. Everybody’s heart is a-flutter. Don't tell any- one now, but we’re planning to beat the tar out of ’em. Never mind the “prognostication” of the score. You'll hear that later. Well, well news is very scarce this time, so we'd better hang our close on this line. P. O. H. ——— I will keep my lips sweet with words of kindness; my heart pure with noble ideals; my hands clean with honorable deeds; I will keep my body sacred and my soul free; I will strive ness, untiring in patience, abundant in hope; I will serve God by helping some of his children; I will try always to be better than my word and more liberal than my promise; every day I will make the most of myself, and so be deady for the opportunities | which God daily sendsto those who are ready for them.

The score at the beginning of the last | bout bei 11-10 in favor of Salis- | bury is is the best wrestling team Jarium has met in two years, and jthey show most nderful improve- |ment over their first team of 1930.

On Tuesday, the 27, the Taylorsville girls and boys wer: played at Barium. |The girls game res uting in a victory |for Barium of 32-19. The Barium boys } Wining 29-12, The next afternoon, a most inter- esting game was played between the Statesville midgets and the Barium midgets. This was the second game between these two teams this season. The game finally resulted in a vic- tory for Barium of 14-12. The game started out with Barium running up ten points before Statesville scored, and then Statesville ran up twelve points while Barium was getting just two more, and the score was knotted at 12-12, with one minute to play During this mJnute Barium scored one goal, and Statesville almost | scored a couple. The ball just would-! n’t go in the basket for them, however, and the game ended in wild excite. ment among the few spectators that! were present. This game had more thrills than most varsity games. : On Friday night, our girls and boys journeyed to China Grove, and had two dandy games in the fine gym-! nasium that they have at that splen- | did school. The China Grove girls got an early lead, and for a time it looked like the game would be a walk-away.

Organization of the class is as follows: President, Ned MacKay Vice-Presiden\, Lee West Secretary, Morris Lee Treasurer, Sam Bernardo Historian, Lorena Clark | Barium scored a goal, making the score 13-11. They were unable to hold this, however, for China Grove scored a goal just before the whistle blew. Then another extra period was played with scoring. Then a third extra period and about halt- way through this period, a foul gave Barium a one-point lead, but just be- fore the whistle blew again, China Grove scored a field goal which gave her the victory 15-14. These two defeats evidently did Barium a lot of good, because on Saturday night, Barium was able to score decisive victories over the Statesville boys and girls both, and neither team The Statesville giris’ game resulted in a victory of 45-20, and this would indicate a runaway, but the work of the Statesville forwards was beautiful to see, and when the bal! got over in their territory, it generally resulted in a scere. The Statesville boys were defeated 19-6. On this same night, the Concord High School Wrestling Team met Barium. Barium’s victory was 26-0. The fact that this is Concord’s first year in wrestling and first meet of the year, accounts for their failing to score. From our experience with Concord teams, this will be the last easy vic- tory we will have over their wrestling team, because they get better all the time, and there is no give up to that crowd of youngsters. Summing up, the boys wrestling team has had during the month, three | meets resulting in three victories—no defeats. } The boys basketball team has had, nine victories—two defeats. The girls | basketbali has had seven victories— five defeats, and the midget boys team has had two victories and one defeat. In the wresting events, eleven boys | have participated. In the boys bas-' ketball twelev different boys have | taken part in the games. Nine midget boys, making a total of 21.

This does not keep us from regretting the accidents | yme of former issues. keenly when they happen. We went through a strenuous football season last year with only one injury, and this injury was soon just a memory.| few weeks, and the Several boys fell out of trees during the year, and we had several broken arms to adjust from this source. Rol- ler skates were responsible for one girl’s arm being broken twice, and then along when stump pulling time came, we had our most serious acci- dent. Edward Todd had his overalls to catch in the gears of the stump puller, drawing his leg up into it and mangling the skin on one of his legs. This necessitated his going | to the hospital and being laid up for possibly three weeks or longer. The doctors say he will entirely recover with no after handicaps, ut this does not prevent his present suffer- ing and our regret over its occur-) ance. ———P. O. H. Flu Epidemic Prevalent The months of January and Feb- ruary contributed largely to the num- ber of residents in the Infirmary. Grip and influenza made a “run” on the campus for six weeks, with the students, matrons, and teachers af- fected. For the last two weeks there has been a noted improvement gener- ally, and we were fortunate to have only mild cases. As the Messenger goes to press March ist the Infirmary is filled up once more with German measls. P. 0. H.— Visitors From Mills Home Messrs. McQuoin and Erley, work- ers of Mills Home, Thomasville, were recent visitors on the campus at Barium. Mr. McQuoin is super- visor of the departmental work and farm group, while, Mr. Erley is in charge of the poultry department. We are always glad to welcome friends from other institutions es-| pecially the Mills Home. The ex- change of ideas is always good for us. —P. 0.

Well anybody that is superstitous can believe what they want to, but we are having some beautiful weather. Three more months and school will be out.

Barium Springs, North Carolina, March VTcv F ebruary February is the shortest month in the year, but what it lacks in length it makes up in other ways. It seems usually to be the dumping ground for the scraps of winter’s bad weather, and whenever December and January are not able to get rid of all the bad weather, they dump it overinto February, and blame it on the Ground-hog. This year, however, it appears as though the other two winter months outdid themselves and allowed February a chance to really display her charms, Mr. Ground Hog to the contrary notwithstanding. Some of the weather in February has been so good that the Flu epidemic that start- ed in the last of January just folded up and quit, and another epidemic struck our community. That is an epidemic of “garden fever” which just precedes the regular Spring Fever epidemic which comes along a little bit later in the year. The symptoms of garden fever are easily detected. When it strikes a woman, one of the outstanding symptoms is to sea her with an old hat on, a pair of gloves, with a towel in one hand and brushing back the hair out of her face with the other, looking around for some one to come and help her dig. The way it usually effects a man is to create a wonderful appetite for sced catalogs and a comfortable place to read them. This fever coming this early in the year will be responsible for many an orphan vegetable later on. It seems that the chickens have been effected by this weather, and have no doubt been reading the stock market, and have noticed that eggs are down to twenty cents a dozen. They are endeavoring to do their best to make up in quantity what the market lacks in quality, and are enabling us to have eggs for eating purpose about as twice as often as usual. The beautiful weather in February enabled the farm crowd to complete their job of getting grass on the football field. Some forty truck loads of Bermuda grass roots have been worked in, and blue grass with white clover sown, and if we know anything about it, there is going to be the very finest tarf on our football field and around it this year, of any field in the country. Another thing that the long pretty weather has done, and that is to give the farm crowd a crack at the new ground. Stump pulling and digging has been the order of the day, and in taking so many stumps out of a piece of new ground there isn’t enough land for the stumps to lie on— they have to be piled up. The crew working at this are not crazy about pretty weath- er. An occasional rain would be all right—or maybe a snow. On the few days we have been shut up in, a new entertainment has started up, and that is Ping Pong. Some one thought there was a new Grand father clock in Jenny Gilmer Cottage, hearing the regular taps of the mallets on the Ping Pong balls. They say that it didn’t stop from breakfast until supper one day. One thing that makes February so delightful this year was that most of the reports that were necessary around the first of the year were com- pleted in January, and then we hadthe same sort of feeling that we have when school is out, and nothing to do but go swimming. Of course, we had lots of other things to do, but they were of such different nature that it seemed like a holiday. Another thing that came along in Feb. was the reports for the first semester work of our numerous college students. These were, in the main, good. So geod that they made very pleasant reading. All in all, February 1931 has been a most pleasant month. Its memory will stay with us a long time, even if Friday did come on the thirteenth; and by the way, that thirteenth was ene of the biggest days we had, because we entertained someting like two hundred guests at supper that day. And now, just as this is being written, it is nearly time for another pay day, and we don’t know where to get the money—Do you? Meningitis Fatal To Clemson Boy Edward Pennell, 12. Formerly of Barium, Succumbs at Home | on Clemson College | Campus | Anderson (S. C.) Daily Mail, 9th. Funeral services were held this morning for Edward Pennell, 12- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Holmes of Clemson, whe died of meningitis at the residence there at 11 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, after an illness of only a few days duration. Rey. Joe Carter officiated at the service which took place at the Belton cemetery where inter- ment was made. Left to mourn the passing of this young life are his mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Holmes; one brother, Thomas Pennell and many serrowing friends who extend sympathy to the family in their great bereave- ment. | Mrs. Holmes, before her marri- ifage to Mr. Holmes, was a teacher at Barium. Edward attended our school here, and the sympathy of our entire community goes out to this be- reaved family. Alexander - Dairy 18—Our Feb. cottage received a ping-pong set, and we have been enjoying it very much. We had our ‘annua! Kiwanis sup- per Friday night February 13th, and Alexander Cottage, it sure was a good one. We had a program also and one of our boys here was in it. ‘His name is Gordon Jones, and he sure put on some pret- ty good jokes. Today—February 18th—we had our regular birthday dinner. Every one who went reported a good dinner. The menu was orange, chicken, oysters, French-fried potatoes, corn muffins, pineapple salad, cake, and ice cream. And our basketball games and wrestling teams are pretty good also, so far this year, and we hope it will continue. The weather has been very bad for the last few days, although it is clear- ing up and feels just like a spring day today. Fred Elliott, one of our boys, came up from the Infirmary yesterday. He had his tonsils removed last Friday and he is getting along very nice. Ed Todd, of Jennie Gilmer Cottage, got his leg hurt very bad and he is at Davis hospital in Statesville. We hope that he will get well scon. The stump puller jerked a piece of meat out of his leg. Some of our teachers went up to see Ed the other day, and he said he wanted some of our good milk. Fred Elliott and Gordon Jones pur- chased a one-story bungalow in Briar- town the other day. They are plan- ning on modernizing this with up- to-date architecture involved. Grass is getting green on the cam- pus now and the other day Mr. O’Kel- ly said, “Springtime is just around the corner, he hoped.” we had to wear overcoats. springtime will come soon. There was once a Scotchman who saw a sign which read, “Free air and water.” He bursted his balloon with air and drank so much water, he couldn’t walk. Marshall Littie has a game rooster that can beat any other roosters a- round here. “Goof” Glasgow was playing Paul Revere the other day with Pet and the wagon. One of the boys asked him what he was trying to do. He said, “T am trying to get this mule turned around facing the sun so I can collar him. The junk man was around here yesterday and said that copper had gone down to three cents a pound. Frank Cornett said, “I’ll save mine until it gets back up.” The lights went out yesterday morning at breakfast and one of the boys at the training table let his hand slip while taking butter and tock too much, Track will soon begin, we all hope.

In the last issue of the Messenger on the front page in the tabulation of the results of our athletic contests, the Barium girls are shown as winning over the Cleveland girls 22-11. This score is wrong. The Cleveland girls were victorious over Barium by the score of 22-11. This is reported correctly in the write-up on the second page, but we wish to correct the tabulation on the front page. The first event of the month took place on Tuesday, February the third. On this afternoon, Barium Wrestling eam went to Davidson, and wrestled the Davidson Freshmen. The score was exactly the same as the score a- gainst the University of North Caro- lina Freshmen. Barium 25- Davidson 3. Barium won everything up to the 165 class by falls, and in the 165 Thompson of Davidson got a time de- cision over King of Barium. That night, the Alexander Graham Junior High School teams of Char- lotte played our teams with the fol- lowing results: In the girls game, | man Midgets played our team on Troutman Court. This was a very close game and was not decided until the last thirty seconds, and Troutman was ahead most of the time. Barium coming from behind in the last minute, when the score was 11-8 in Trout- man’s favor to wind up 12-11 in Barium’s favor. This game virtually assured Ba- rium’s standing of runner up in the midget conference. On Wednesday night, our wrestling team journeyed to Concord for a re- turn meet, and defeated Concord 26-0. On Thursday night, the 12th, the Mocksville girls team played Barium at Barium and were defeated 22-20. The Mocksville boys were defeated 37 12. Both of these games were well played, and very interesting. On Saturday, the 14th, the strong Cooleemee team played Barium on Barium’s court, with the girls game resulting in a victory for Barium 43- 27. The Barium boys winnning 23-12. , The second week of February was ,a perfect week in athletics for Ba- ‘rium. They engaged in eight contests, and were victorious in all of them. ' We were due to have a wrestling meet with Belmont Abbey College on Saturday night Feb. 14 but old man Flu got to Belmont first and just Barium defeated Alexander Graham}; : : 25-10; and the Barium boys defeated; a Huis mene the Charlotte boys 16—15.

The Barium team was much game of basketball between two larger, and it was marvelous the way; Rumple Hall - , i ple Hall teams. The playing was the smaller Charlotte boys worked | fast, the scoring was ‘esa and The next day; the ball down to within scoring dis- tance, in spite of their handicap in size. On Wednesday, February 4th, our midget team went to Stony Point, for a second game and were defeated by Stony Point 12—6. This second victory for Stony Point virtually assures them the Champ- ionship of the midget Conference. Since playing this game they have defeated Statesville, which settles the matter. On Thursday,February the 5th, we loaned our basketball court for the County Championship series, and four games were played that night. None of our teams participated in this. On February the 6th, our teams journeyed over to Landis, and on that beautiful court played a double-head- er with the result that our girls de- feated Landis girls 30-28, and our boys were victorious 17—7. The girl game in this instance, was a closely contested affair with Barium leading most of the time, but by a very small margin. Then, on Saturday, the 7th the Da- vidson College Freshmen, played the Barium All-Stars, with the Barium All-Stars winning 14—12. The Celeste Henkle girls played the Barium girls and were victorious 29—26. This team from the Celeste Henkle School had played in the Coun- ty Tournament on Thursday night and played a most remarkable game. Barium has this advantage over them, having so many girls available. The team that played at Landis did not have to play against Celeste, Henkle. There were still many girls to send in as substitutes whenever one was the least bit tired. On Tuesday, February 10th, the re- turn games with Statesville were played on Statesville court. The girls game was a very interesting event, with Barium winning 30-20. The Statesville girls show remarkable im- provement over their first game with us, and kept our first string girls busy to defeat them. The boys game was not so interest- ing. Barium defeated Statesville 22-3 and did not allow a single field goal for Statesville during the entire game. Don’t think from this that the States- ville boys are not in the playing. They were playing every minute of the game, but it was one of Barium’s extra good nights, and they played an almost perfect game, and only one time during the game did a Statesville boy get loose for an easy shot at the basket. On Wednesday, the 11th, the Trout- substitutions plentiful. The enthusiasm of the spectator ran high and the rooting was of a high ‘order.The score was—nobody seems to remember. An account of the athletics for the second half of February will be found ,elsewhere in this paper. ‘Recent Activities Of ' Barium Music Pupils fhree Barium Students To Enter Music Contest In Charlotte March 17th The St. Cecilia Music Club of Bari- um Springs joined the North Caro- lina Federation of Music Clubs, and on Monday evening February six- teenth sixteen of its members were guests of the Statesville Junior Mu- sic Club, which met at the Woman’s Club.

Another occasion of the year, which is usually para- mount above all else--- enough to be identified in red letters on the calendar was held in Rumple Hall dining room Friday, Feb. 13th. The following from The Statesville Daily of 14th is a full account of the pro- gram. With five hundred people gathered around the tables in the big dining room at Barium Springs Orphanage, Friday night to celebrate the annual get-together meeting of the civic clubs of Mooresville and Statesville, the hoo-doo of Friday, the thirteenth, was broken as Superintendent Johns- ton had prophesied it would be. There was an appetising dinner—plenty for everybody—and a good program. The happy occasion was unmarred by any event suggesting ill luck, though Mr. Johston in introducing the program, did tell the audience what they had missed. In the first place, he said he had planned an elaborate menu and had even gone as far as to have it printed on the programs, but on the second thought, he decided that it was best to omit the first twenty or more items, lest someone be made ill by the supper, combined with Fri- day the thirteenth. In the second place, he thought he would make a long speech himself, but decided that too, would be regarded as a calamity associated with the unlucky thirteenth and he therefore decided to forego that pleasure. Finally he declared he had invited a preacher who lived on 1313 Thirteenth street and preached at a church on the corner of Thirteen- th avenue and Thirteenth street, to come and talk to the clubs. This man accepted, but when he started his ear broke down and he could not reach Barium Springs. Having told the audience what they missed, Mr. Johnston then presented the real treat of the occasion, a program by the Barium boys and girls. The stage in the center of the din- ing room had been decorated with learts and other Valentine decorations and above it hung a sign, “Dr. Val- entine’s Clinic.” Patients with vari- uos heart troubles came to con- sult the docter, and while waiting for Dr. Valentine to make his appearance they entertained the audience. An or- chestra, composed of violin, bells, tri- angles, tambourines, castanets, and a drummer provided the accompani- ment for the program. The members of the orchestra were all in costumes, wearing red caps and head bands. Lil- lian Sanders was their director; and eomposing the orchestra were Myrtie Mills, Victoria Salvaggio, Evelyn Coppedge, Emma Eudy, Myrtle Weddington, Evelyn and Helen Billings, Nan Daniels, Lela Johnston, Frances Lowrance, Billy Hewitt, Buddy Hewitt, Nelson Far- mer, Hattie Michael, Russel DeLane and Robert Kerr. : The nurse at Dr. Valentine’s Clinic who introduced each of the patients, was Mabel Flowers. The first small patient to perform was Johnnie Bur- gin, a little girl in a cowboy costume. Who sang a yodeling song and made a dandy cowboy. A duet, “You was sung by Mabel Billings and Pleas Norman. They suggested a Val- entine—the little girl’s white dress with a long full skirt, being attract- ively fixed up with hearts, while the small boy wore a white suit with long trousers. One of the most interesting num- bers of the program was that given by the three sets of idenical twins. Evelyn and Helen Billings, Jack and Tom McCall, Mae and Mabel Shoaf. They sang “Three Little Words.” The three civic clubs who were rep- resented at the banquet last were typified by three blackfaced comedi- ans, who also came seeking Dr. Val- entine. Gordan Jones represented the Kiwanis club; Garnett Bradly the Lions club; and Joe White the Rotary club. They entertained the audience with references to the clubs they re- presented and hits at the best known members of the three clubs. All the} | ‘eolds which helps to prevent us from performers joined in a good-bye song to the audience. The program lasted only about twenty minutes, but was splendid from start to finish, and the young- sters from the orchestra to individual performers, did splendidily and were enthusiastically applauded. Practical- ly every number was encored. Gathered around the tables were two hundred guests, including mem- bers of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lion- clubs of Mooresville, with their friends. Seated with these were the children and faculty members of Bar- ium Springs orphanage, numbering | u about three hundred. The boys from Synod Cottage and the girls from Annie Louise Cottage, whose places at the tables which the visitors took joined the company after dinner to enjoy the progzam. SEZ YOU—SEZ ME Did you ever? Somebody said something about BARIUM MESSENGER the other day in an exchange comment, and it “went” direct to the port of Mars—and is still soaring. And the party that took this liberty to do so much scandalizing is too far away for us to say as much about them. None other than the “Canary and Blue,” of Allentown, (Pa.) says of the Messenger, in re: “Most unusual paper.” And in like manner we wish to impart the same tokens re- garding their magazine repre- sentative for the high school of that city.

Does this prove to you that Friday the thirteenth is no hoodoo, at least? Well, it can and did. Saturday night our boys and girls played basketball with the Cooleemee teams.

Baby Cottage, February 18—Anoth- er month has rolled around—a busy month for us. Some of us took part in the program that was given at the big Dining Room for the Kiwanis supper. We only hope that the ones who could be there, enjoyed it as seeing and hearing it as much as we enjoyed practising and giving it. — We want to thank friends for suits and other things that we have receiv- ed during the past month. With the exceptions of Paul Bur- ney, William Billings and “Mama Girt” we have all been well and are net. William and Paul had their ton- sils removed but we think they'll soon return to the Baby Cottage. Moore is giving us a treatment for being sick. Murphy McGirt came for a very short visit. His visiting part was pleasant enough but we did not like leaving because he took “Mama Girt” with him. We were dreadfully sor- ry to see her leave but glad she could have a rest. We were expecting her back when we heard that she was sick. We hope her a speedy recovery and return to us, although we are enjoying having Miss Turner with s.

He’s only a printer, yet by his art He draws the curtains of the past apart, | And there exposed to human gaze Are recorded acts of bygone days, : That you may see. His magic touch can make men weep, And make the ages backward creep, And we behold the armored knight Fighting for God, and home, and right— A magician he. A Printer? No, he makes no claim To sit with those who have won fame With brush and palette, and patience rare, Who painted love, joy and despair--— Then traveled on. But word by word, and line by line, He tells the story of all time— And thus he paints a picture rare, A canvas grand for all who care To look upon. Written by W. W Read, and dedicated to the Printers of THE GooD CHEER,” published by the American Stores Company with heaadquarters in Philadelphia, There is no halo ‘round his head— He’s soon forgotten when he’s dead; Yet he’s content because he knows That by his art God’s kingdom grows, Knowledge expands. He makes no claim to saintly ways He’s satisfied to spend his days With press and paper, type and ink, If he can only makee men think On God’s commands. The sweetest story ever told Has been preserved by this bold. For only by his magic spell Could it have ever lived to tell A Saviour’s love. His art has made for us the Book Wherein the hungry soul may look— And looking, find the promise blest Of love, and peace, and endless rést-— printer A home above. AMONG OUR Another Reason Why Printers Make Mistakes The usual calm, peace and fraternal concord of the print shop came near being broken Monday when Mr. How- ell accused Mr. McMillan of feeding his (Mr. Howell’s) pigs so much that it made one of them sick. Mr. McMil- lan said he had not fed them much, just enough to make them stop eat- ing the pen railings. Mr. Howell was sure one of them was sick as his tail did not curl up near as tight as the tails of the other three. Mr. Sears said that Mr. Howell had no kick coming even if one of his pig’s tail was a little straight. He said that he did not have but one pig and that he did not have him. His pig got out of his pen Sunday night and he had not been able to locate him. Tuesday morning everything lovely at the print shop. Mr. Sears located his pig in the large bunch owned by Mr. John R. Myers. That is, he located a pig. If it it is not exactly the same one it does not greatly matter. Pigs are very much alike any way. Mr. Sears has his pig or a pig. Then Mr. Hughes who is an authority on pigs came over and said that he did not think that the Howell pigs would suffer perman- ently from the feeding. He said some- thing about it being good for pigs to . them occassionally. So all is love- ¥ —Charity and Children YP. ©. i. Fairfield Church 12.75 Aux. Greensboro 1st. 27.66 4.59 Aux.

If we print jokes people say we are silly; If we don’t, they say we are too ser- ious. If we clip things from other papers, We are too lazy to write it down ourselves; If we don’t we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don’t print contributions, We don’t appreciate true genius; If we do the paper is filled with junk. If we make a change in a_ fellow’s writeup, We are too critical; If we don’t we are asleep. Now like as not someone will say We swiped this one from some other paper. WE DID. —Preston (Minn.)

Laughter soothes tired nerves, les- sens sorrow and lubricates the ser- ious human machine. Laughter scatters sunshine into dreary places, it generates hopes in discouraged hearts. Laughter irons out the wrinkles in tired faces, puts a sparkle in dull eyes, and brings a glow to faded cheeks. Laughter kills worry.

Our main big job has been the pre- paration of our new grounds for corn planting. When we say preparing of new grounds we mean plowing the fields in all directions and picking up all roots after each plowing and burn- ing them. We have cleared and put in condition to plant corn this spring, ten acres of new ground which seems to be more than the usual amount cleared each winter. All the farmers seem to be well pleased with these accomplishments. We have spent a great deal of our time clearing the land of stumps making new fields for alfalfa since we ran short of hay this winter. Mr. Cavin brought some Mexican quails and put them in the fields. He was trying to get more birds on our land so as to help the crops and also hunting conditions but to his great disappointment some were eaten by hawks within a week. He has a dozen traps set now and has Published By Presbyterian Orphans’ BARIUM MESSENG Home For The Information Of It’s Friends . oe = BARIUM SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA—APRIL, 193 I say I am wise.

The men’s game seemed to bring the greatest amount of applause; and the playing T. L. O’Kelley, T. C. Cavin, and J. H. Lowrance featured the bout.

Some of us will have to work hard to make our grades. We are glad spring is here. We like to watch our flowers and trees come to life and bloom. It will soon be time to take off our shoes, and we mending girls will be glad to be rid of darning stockings. We darn stockings twice aa week and mend clothes once a week. Most of us have learned to use a thimble, but ‘we thought at first we never could use one. Miss Alice Thompson, of beads. this for us. for some of our cannas, and some money to buy some candy. We thank you, Miss Thompson, and wish you could visit us. The Howard girls gave a program at the prayer service in the dining room Sunday morning. Five of our| girls had roseola that morning and | eould not be in the program. Since then several more have had it. Martha Kinard’s mother and sister visited her Saturday. Three of our girls went to the |birthday dinner. They were: Mar- | that Kinard, Ruth Morgan and Thel- ma McIntyre. They reported a good dinner. IRENE FORTE. — P. 0.

We see the buds bursting and the flowers beginning to bloom, and our tongues wag about spring soon being over, and vacation time being here. You did that way too, didn’t you when you were about where we are now in age as well as school. We have been very fortunate in having Capt. R. Z. Johnston, of New- port, R. IL, as a visitor at Barium. He is Mr. J. B. Johnston’s brother. One morning at Chapel he delighted us with a descriptive account of one of his chief experiences in the navy. Capt.

For we are short of hands on the dairy. Track has started and our team is looking good. We hope it will be a good one. The eight, ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades had a track meet Sat- urday. The eleventh grade won. The women and the men Faculty of Barium played Troutman Faculty Walter Fraley told a good joke the y it went like this. Once there was a negro who belonged to a lawyer and the negro had such a good memory that the lawyer never wrote down any of his plans. The negro memorized them. The devil came to the lawyer and asked him for the negro. The law- yer said, “If you catch him off of his memory you can have him.” The next day the lawyer was in court and the negro was out in the field plowing. The devil jumped from behind a stump and said. “Do you like eggs.” The negro said yeh! Twenty years after the civil war the negro was plowing in the same field and the devil jumped out from behind a stump and _ said, “how.” The negro said, “fried.” Getup mule! We will close.

We are going to have our annual Sunday morning program, Sunday March 22. We were to have it the first but called it off on account of measles in our Cottage, but we are all well now except Mac Walton and he has a sore foot. We hope that it will be well soon. Basket ball season is nearly over and the boys that are out for track carries a gold medal given by Con- gress. You just ought to look in the Infir- mary some time. It is running over with measles or roseola. Call it either one we will know what you mean, ‘cause we've been there! We think we will soon be over the worst and are thankful nothing serious has developed. We are sorry basket-ball season is over, because most of us play and we enjoy it so much. You just ought to see our faculty team play! They have won two games from Troutman fa- culty and the way they did step around was worth going to see. Troutman begs for another game. and we surely want to see it, because we know we will have fun. We are sorry, but we will have to hang our ‘close’ on this line—until next time.

SRP R BRR RBBB 8 ‘ei know you have been reading about the doings of our athletic teams during the winter season. We are printing in this issue pictures of a few of these teams. First is the Wrestling Team that has had a most enviable record, not only over this season, but in past seasons, with victories over Concord, Salisbury, Davidson Freshmen, Carolina Freshmen; and one de- feat by Greensboro. Next, is the Girls’ Varsity Basketball, with a record in keeping with that of the past years. Their most notable victories were over Scott, the Lredell County Champions and over Troutman in the past-season three-game se- ries. Their most spectacular loss was to the Central High School Team of Charlotte which resulted in a one-point victory for Charlotte, in the last twenty seconds of play. Then, there is a picture of the Eighth Grade girls’ team. We want you to preserve this picture. It will make history during the next three years, we feel sure. They are good already. There are something like five or six Norman, EIGHT GRADE GIRLS TEAM Margaret Brooks, Janie BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM other girls’ basketball teams that make good pictures and also play good basketball. We haven’t space in this paper to publish all these pictures, but if you will send a dollar and a half for an Annual, you will get all these, and more. This Annual will be out in about thirty days. The next picture is the Boys’ Basketball spuad, and includes not only the Varsity, but the Midget players. Taken all in all, we are proud of our various athletic teams. They haven’t won all their games. We've lost enough to keep us from being snooty, and we've won enough to keep us from being downcast. Enough of our players are graduating this year to make us everlastingly dig to get out a team next year; but enough new raw material is coming up to keep us. from being gloomy over next year’s prospects. We have some other teams too, that we are not displaying right at this time, in this paper. They are the All-Star team and the Faculty Team. The Faculty team’s record, so far, is one hundred per cent. It is true they haven’t played but one game, but it was a howling success, even to the Cheering Section. They have received challenges which they may or may not accept. It’s doubtful if they can be coaxed before a camera, so that their picture can get in this paper. They are just a little timid that way, but not at all timid when it comes to handling a basketball.

Guess they feel that they are really getting more than} their share. We were glad to have Miss Miller’s sister and sister-in-law from Moores- sville come spend a day with us not long ago. We hope they enjoyed it and will come again. A few days ago, a brother of Miss Miller from Savannah, Ga. came by on his way to visit his mother. He car- ried Miss Miller to Mooresville with him. We were so glad she could have the outing and be with her home folks. | Since writing before Mr. J. B. John- ston’s brother from Rhode Island made him a visit. We were so glad} to have him, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston | take dinner with us. They a short visit to Florida. We enjoyed having Mr. Johnston come take din- ner with us and tell about their trip. Basketball season is all over, and we are all proud of the record our boys and girls made. In the game between the grades, the ninth grade won the Champion- ship. Guess the next thing will be base ball, and track, and after that Com-} mencement. On Friday night, March 20th, all the seniors and most of the juniors and some of the other grades went over to Statesville to see the High School play “The Whole Town’s Talk- ink.” It was given at the Play House so they also saw the picture “Beau Ideal.” They reported a good time. Among the visitors to the baby cottage to see their children was, Mr. Billings to see William and Mable, and Mrs. Setzer, sister of the Spencer children. We enjoyed so much having Miss Thompson and Miss Greene take din- | ner with us Sunday, and all of us en- joyed the music by Miss Greene after dinner. A few days ago we had a very plea- sant visit from Mrs. McAuley (Miss Hanna) our’ kindergarten teacher, last year. She is a welcome visitor at all times. A few more days and it will be Easter time and we hope warm wea- ther, for we are getting anxious to be out of doors. This has been a dull month for news. We hope to have more next time.

Would you believe it —just eight years ago this picture was taken and now look at it. Can you find Walter Beattie of this year’s graduating class at Davidsen, or Atlen Bustle of the 1930 Gastonia Football team? O. J. Moody of the Charlotte Piedmont Junior football team is in there too. And then, all these of Bar- ium’s 1930 squad. Those two big line- busting backs— Mac- Kay and King, the Lee brothers, Morris and Joe. Geo. Ayers, Ned MacKay, and Ralph Hunt. Then there is Billy Hudson, that pass catching end on_ the 1928 team. Lest we forget there are also three members of the National Champion Midget team, John Lee, Bob Reavis, and Joe Keenan.

Our G.aduating Class Those of our readers who have good memories will no doubt recall that at this date last year we published the pictures of our 1930 graduating class —twenty-one, all told. The biggest class in the history of the Institution. They covered almost one whole side of the Messenger. In this issue we are publishing the picture of the 1931 graduating class, and this is a larger class by one, than last year. In presenting these pictures and! these young people to you, we can’ think of lots of things that we would like to say about them. We could use| all the adjectives that we used in de- scribing previous graduating classes, and then adda lot more. Darturw tons going to seem like the same place when this fine bunch of young people leave us. We want them all to be in close touch with us for many years to come. As it happens, a larger proportion of this class are going to college than of most graduating classes, and we will be in close touch with them for at least four years longer. Look at these pictures until their likenesses are impressed on your mind, so that you will recognize any one of them when you meet them. You can depend on it, they are all right. eemeniinites: tae THE INSTITUTE FOR ORPHANAGE WORKERS During the first two weeks of April, fourteen members of our staff made ten trips to Charlotte attending all- day sessions of the Institute for Or- phanage Workers. The discussions in these meetings were led by four peo- ple of national reputation. We were so delighted to have a brief visit from each one of these leaders. Of course we all remember Mr. Hopkirk of the Child Welfare League of America and his visit to us was almost like a visit from home folks. Miss Bunke, of the National Recreational Association, spent almost a day with us, and we will no doubt remember her for many years to come. Wherever she goes she seems to start something, and it is easy to start those things at Barium. We are looking for ways to make our play life and recreations more and more comprehensive and beneficial. Dr. LeRoy Wilkes of the Child Health Association of America, spent one night with us. We enjoyed having him so much and asked him so many questions that it is doubtful if he had a chance to observe much about Barium or to enjoy Barium himself. The longest visit of all was made by Miss Clarke of the Child Welfare League of America, who spent from Friday afternoon until Sunday morn- ing with us. We were delighted to have these friends here and hope that they can visit us often enough for their faces to become familiar and their friendships renewed. 0 Analysis of a Kiss A kiss is a pronoun, because “she” stands for it. It is masculine and feminine gender mixed, therefore common. It is a conjunction. It is an interjection (sounds that way). It is plural, because it calls for another. It is singular: nothing else like it. It is usually in apposition with a carress at least it’s sure to follow. A kiss can be conjugated but never declined. It is not an adverb because it cannot be compared, but it is a word that ex- Table Of Late Receipts Applying On Church Year Ending March 31 1931 | in Statesville gave us a real treat a | out of doors. a = ei ea ° PRESBYTERY APRIL es6 £ 23 #2 RECEIPTS 22% 8»: 82 368 (Old Year) #S% ES ES 32 <2 poke) <= aad Winston-Salem $ 377.44 1lc $2.85 $1.35 Granville $ 260.16 5e $1.51% 1%¢ ahead $1.41 Orange $ 909.59 Concord $1294.86 11%c $1.34% Mecklenburg $1755.46 10%c $1.26% Albemarle $ 139.38 3%c $1.20 30c behind Kings Mountain $ 183.20 3l4c $1.10% Fayetteville $ 751.50 646c 91e 59¢ behind Ile Wilmington $ 779.67 10%e 86%c¢. 63%c behind .98e TOTAL, $6,451.26 8.6c 132.3¢ 17.7¢ behind $1.29 We are publishing in the last col- | umn of the above Table, the total per | member contributed during the year | ending March the 31st, 1930 for com- parison with the year just closed.

For the last two weeks we've had a holiday since Miss Carson, our teach- er, -ud all the other workers went to hild Welfare Institute in Char- lott. We don’t mind them being gone th the beca.se we were out of school and had nothing to do all day long but, play. We’ve got along so well with- out (hem we won’t know what to do with them here. Last week they brought Miss Bunke and Mr. Hopkirk back with them. We enjoyed having them here even if they did look over the ouse from attic to basement. This week they brought Dr. Wilkes. We | ope they can all come back some time .o visit us. Join MeGirt came during the East- er h idays, bringing his room mate| Geor Bowers. We enjoyed their short visit and hope they can come again.

Last Sunday we had Mr. Johnston and Miss Annie Fay Soux for dinner.

H.—— We know a chap whose vocabulary seems largely made up of two words “Lousy” and “Swell.” When his game, it’s “lousy;” when he makes a good grade in an algebra test, it’s “swell.” No other words seem to work for him.

We have been remodeling and enlarging some ten- courts over at Mr. Johnston's home which took over a week to finish since we had to haul top soil at quite a distance from the courts, neverthe- less, they are completed and = are ready to use with the exception of some backstops which will be soon put up by Mr. Nesbit. We have rebuilt a road from the highway to the spring so as to en- courage more picnics and make tran- sportation of the water more easily than previously. The old spring house has been torn down and picnic tables will be made on the cement flooring. Our wheat is in the best condition of any we have experienced in the last two years. Nitrate of Soda has been spread over it and it is growing excellently. We are in high hopes of an extra large crop. Our alfalfa is also in very good shape. It is nearly ready to yield its first cutting. We are expecting over thirty or forty tons from the first cutting. When alfalfa is mentioned since we have installed a new hay hoist which will relieve us of a considerable a- mount of work storing the winter supply in the barns. The mules have been kept busy lately so as to prepare the fields for corn planting. We expect to plant more corn this spring than ever be- fore since we have cleared more new land than in previous years. The football field which has been completed and all set for the next football season is quickly growing green with grass. It seems so for to have a good stand of grass which will be very beautiful by next fall. Our fruit trees have blossomed out and escaped the clutches of Old Jack Frost and are prospering with great speed which looks like we are go- ing to have plenty of fruit this year and perhaps enough to store away for the winter. We have tried to give you a gener- al idea of what has been happening from the farmers’ point of view. So goodbye for a month. nis —P. O.

MM Alexander - Dairy ALEXANDER News, April 17—We are going to have a track meet to-day, the morning group vs the evening group. We will let you know how it came out next month. Everybody went to the Playhouse Theater Saturday to see “Rango.” We certainly thank the manager that let us in free. The cows are coming up and that means more milk. All the apple trees and the other trees are in full bloom. We will be getting apples and pears and other fruit soon. It is about time to start hunting squirrels and we will all take to the woods when the time comes. Out in the back of Alexander we have a place for high jumping and pole vaulting and broad jumping also. We go out and play every day and at night. Our varsity track team has not been beaten this year. We sure are glad that there is but six more weeks of school, and then we will have our vacations. Some will go home and some will work and the others will go on the camping trip. Marley Sigmon and Milton Gaskill have some pigeons and there are some chickens down here also. Marshall Little has a white rabitt. We get a half an hour after supper every night but Wednesday, and Fri- day before study hall. It won't be long until the swimming pool is opened and every one will be in swimming. .We will close for this time. ROBERT GALLYON. ro.

In fact, did you ever see one ? I don’t remember seeing your pic- ture in the Rotogravure section of the papers, or even under false ad- vertisements. “Well, I know I have more brains than anybody else.” Why didn’t you win Mr. Edison's contest, or why aren’t you associated with Prof. Einstein? “Well, ’m—I’m—” That’s just the point, what “am” you? You are not even a drop in the barrel, as we say today, and unless you make a non-stop flight to Mars or swim the Gulf of Mexico, you have no cause to keep your nose up in the air as you do.

Therefore they obey the laws of right living which the best Amer- icans have always obeyed. Good Americans control themselves.

Even when indignant against wrong and con- tradicting falsehood, I will keep my self control. (3) I will control my thoughts and will not allow a foolish wish to spoil a wise purpose. (4) I will control my actions. I will be careful and thrifty and in- sist on doing right.

It certainly does appear as though our church people were not even go- ing the first mile; that they are let- ting difficulties prevent carrying on something that is well within their ability. We are hearing so much about what ails the country, and what terribly hard times we have, and peo- ple look at us with rather accusing eyes when they say tiese things, as though we were in some way respon- dwindles and dwindles. Let’s analyze just a little bit. We| have become terribly exercised over on Birth Control. Possibly we should go a step further and shoot a large percentage of the children in our Or- phanages to relieve the pressure on the Church—just like burning up surplus cotton to stabilize the price; or maybe we should change the name of our Institution, and call it “The Methodist Orphans’ Home.” Of cours: we Presbyterians are mighty proud of this Presbyterian Institution. We like to throw out our chests and brag about how much we are doing, it only for our own, but for other peo- ple. Near-East Relief, The Red Cross and thousands of other things that | are not directly the esponsibilities of our Church, and yet we complacently let other denominations run our In- stitution, as far as finances are con- cerned. We have received from Presbyter- ian sources, during the months of April and May, a total of $4,028.49. During the same period we have re- ceived from Methodist sources, $9,- 105.50. This latter figure is the amount that we received from the Duke En- dowment, and we have used that up in trying to take care of our regular expenses of approximately $18,000.00, during these first two months of the church year. During the year just elosed, March 31, 1931, we not only received a check from the Duke Endowment, of some- thing over $8,000.00, but we received $15,000 from the estate of Benjamin Duke which tided us over a most critical time. Now, the question may arise as to whether or not hard times are hit- ting the Methodists as hard as they are hitting the Presbyterians? Sure- ly not. We find the Methodist Or- phanage in Winston-Salem not only holding its own, during these terri- ble times, but actually increasing their load; while the Presbyterians, during the months of April and May Orphanage load. We really ought to do something about it. Possibly the Lord is not be- ing as good to us as we think He ought to be; that we haven’t more than a nickle to spare for the child- ren that we have voluntarily taken as our responsibility, for the two whole months. This sounds mighty hard and un- pleasant and mean, to say things like this. It is being said right at the time when we haev had the most wonder- ful commencement ever. We have turned out tne largest class of grad- uates ever in the history of the in- stitution. It couldn’t have been a mis- take to take those twenty-two young people in in their helpless years, and to have provide .or them opportuni- ties that otherwise would certainly will do any good about this; some- | We have listened to and read more | All of these things as being | f It’s Friends ee . ® & a 4 23 » ae i tao i a) oon om 5.2 ont SS Sy 5 s cE 3 ae S a on ES SHR EY E39 48 pas <4 < 4 18, 18¢ Te.

Barium Springs, North Carolina—JUNE 1931 THE MONTH OF MAY It has just been impossible to concentrate on our trouble for any great length of time during this month ol May. Early in this month, the roses commenced to bloom on the fence that borders the highway, aad each new day brought additional beauty to this hedge. lf you happened to be any- where on the campus, before you ¢ ould really get your mind on your troubles, you would catch a glimpse of this fence and then, for a time, you would forget everything unpleasant. If you should wander through the ro- chards or in the fields, you are sure to come across a field of Crimson clover, and we believe that this is just redder and more beautiful this year than ever before. Possibly it was trying to make up for the dry weather last year, when crops had such a hard time getting out of the ground. The Al- falfa fields have been so beautiful that the cows just naturally gave more milk from looking at it. This is cemmencing to be harvested, and put into the barns close enough for the cows to smell; and they will, no doubt, give ice cream now! We wouldn’t dare think of letting them eat any of it at this time, but are saving it for next winter. The wheat fields have not become discouraged over the very low price of vield so that quantity will make up wheat, but seem determined to make a somewhat for quality. And that makes us think! We wonder if a biscuit made out of sixty- cent wheat is as nourishing as one made out of two-doliar wheat! It’s just possible we may try to eat two sixty-cent biscuits while the price is so low, instead of one. The various flower gardens around the cottages are more beautiful than ever before.One reason, is because they have had closer attention, and an- other is besause they have had some competition. You, no doubt, remember that last fall there was a donation of sevoral truck loads of shrubbery to adorn the campus, and this shrubbery is making a very brave show already. Even the neglected football field is attracting attention in the spring. The grass is growing on the field until it looks lke green velvet. The shrubbery that was put out around the fence mainly for beauty, but partly for dis- couraging the Peanut Gallery that stands on the railroad and gets to see the game free, has grown wonderfully. In fact, it has done almost two years’ growth in one. It has rained so much over everything that everything looks so clean. It’s just like bath-day! The weather has been plenty wer, put since everybody seems to be used to it, we are all enjoying it. Even a meeting of the Board of Regents in the midst of this very wet month, didn’t bring on a flood! It always rains on a meeting day for the Board; but on the day that they met this yeaf, it just threatened, and the largest number of Regents attended of any time in recent years. They were all present except five, and enough extra folks came with those who did come, to more than make up this difference. And speaking of this, we let all the Regents have a birthday this month and eat at the Birthday Table along with twenty-nine children in the Or- phanage. This birthday dinner was a wow! Frying-size chickens; frying- size rabbits; cherry pie; strawberries; and then a lot of everyday thinks like potatoes and such, with ice cream and cake to top off! It took three quar- ters of an hour of just steady eating to get through with that dinner. The activities that always take place toward the end of school have kept this month of May a busy one. The Juniar—Senior picnic which took place on the ninth, was a most enjoyable one. This took place at River Bend and Mountain Island. Of course, it rained, but nobody suffered any ill effect. On the night of the eighth, the Seniors presented their play. “College Cut-ups.” It was unusually good, and all of the twenty-two Seniors should be congratulated alone with those members of the faculty that so ably assist- ed in getting this up.

As we draw nearer to the Commencement Season, of course, there will be plays by the grades;an entertainment by the Primary Department; and then the big exercises of Commencement.

Since the last writing of this news a great deal has taken place. Not anything in particular except the alfalfa cutting but we are just like an army thats got the whole lLne moving. The old Barium Springs, (from | which the little village got its name) | is really being fixed up. We have made a road leading from the Orphan- | age to the spring, and with the fish | pond looking good, it is a fine place | to have picnics and just a general rest. We are in the front line of alfalfa growers in the county. It is now about knee high and the cutting has begun. | Being cut by an eight foot blade) attached to a tractor. Yes I know} what you are thinking. It does look | like we could sell some alfalfa, but | those cows and horses. Especially the cows, just take it up by the ton. But the farmers drink most fo their | milk and so we have no room to kick about those cows destroying our good looking hay crop. You know we have a large farm and to avoid running about 2 miles for shelter from rajn storms. we have constructed a nice looking little house for this purpose. Didn’t cost hardly a dollar. We just tore down what was a mere shack and made a comfortable looking place out of the scraps. The corn is now beginning to spring out of the ground. We have a nice crop of corn of which the cows will also tackle and devour in the form of silage. Sheep shearing is now on and the boys just seem to pull it off. There are about forty sheep now and their wool will bring about some cash. Next fall when the kids and grown folks alike get hungry—well we'll just have some peanuts to eat. We've been shelling and shelling and will sure have a batch to sow. | Well, now if you want to see a real | wheat field without wheat, corn or oats on it—take a look at our new football field. That place does look dandy with the pretty green grass and shrubbery ali around the whole place. Of course we are thankful to those who put form and the money to build a great part of it. We boys are proud that we did the grading, and planting of grass and shrubbery. And also that no landscape gardener was necessary to map it out. As a matter of fact, the ones that did | build it turned out to be swell ” | signers. We are so sorry that we will soon lose a part of our workers. The sen- iors, of whom the farm has many, will depart in about three weeks. The farm has given them a good, healthy body and now it is their turn to do something for the world. About to forget that machine Mr. Cavin rigged up. He simply bought an old Ford for about ten dollars, | and patented a fine little engi ve to} hoist up the hay into our new / 1rn. This saved a great deal of time and up a wagon load at once. We don’t want to run all this in} \the ground so the editor will now |“renigg” till next month.

Everyone at this cottage are grumbling about their sore arms. We were just punch- ed for typhoid. We have two more times yet. We hope they don’t get as sore as this time. The swimming pool is open nda not many are going in. They are using their heads and waiting till the water gets warmer. Saturday morning it looked like iwe were going to have a nice day but it wouldn’t be Saturday if it didn’t. There is only one more week of school and everyone is happy. Vacation time is near at hand and some of our boys are already plan- ning for ‘heirs. We hope that every- body wi ve a nice time. We have been turning the cows in- to the clover field and they have all been giving more milk. The silos are empty and the cows didn’t like that very much beeause they like silage better than anything else. Mrs Privette is very busy mending old clothes and quilts. We are also getting some new shirts and suits. Mr. Nesbitt has been fixing our screens and doors. The onions are plentyful, that is, the smell of them. Mr. Cavin and Mr. Nesbitt invent- ed a machine to pull the hay into the loft. It is made out of a Ford motor. I will close.

He has been in consul- tation with Governors of a majority of the States of the Union, and a |number of foreign countries. He has {more data and information about vhild caring institutions and agencies than any man living. In addition to that, he is a man of unusual ability. We considered ouselves extremely fortunately to have had a visit from him at all, and for this visit to have lasted forty eight hours, made us doubtly fortunate, Dr, Carstens went into every de- tail of our work.

We wish it could have been possible for all of our friends all over the State to have sat with us in the dis- cussions that we had with Dr. Car- ) stens. We wish our entire govern- as board could have been here the jentire two days to have asked ques- tions, and discussed in detail, the matters of our daily practice and fu- ture plans.

We can go further than that, and say that we can not even stand still in the face of it. We must continue to make progress orelse we will soon | find ourselves on the down grade. We are apt to think that everything is | based on a money consideration right now when money seems so hard to get; but there are many instances of institutions that have allowed them- things during a temporary money shortage that has afterwards cost them many times the amount saved, in trying to rectify theiy errors.

It is a quick and sure relief from the heat and we take advantage of it daily. The Conferences at Mitchell Col- lege have just closed and four of our girls from this cottage had the good luck to attend. They report a good time, good lectures, loads of fun and plenty of good eats. We still have plenty of fine peach- es and several times they have brought us delicious plums, the great big juicy ones! Don’t you want some of them? Come help yourselves. Monday night we were invited to go to the “Playhouse” to see “Daddy Longlegs” and we piled into the new truck and went and had the best time we have ever had. We certainly thank the management. They are always do- ing nice things like that. When Phillis Morgan was at the Conference at Mitchell College she took an airplane ride, fell out and sprained her finger. They were do- ing stunts and when her time came she was blind-folded and had to stand on a plank and touch a man’s head. They raised the plank a few inches and told her to jump and she, think- ing she was high up made a big jump, fell to the ground and got her iinger sprained pretty badly. She has gone on her vacation today so she will be able to nurse her Jame finger while she plays the trick on somebody else.

She had been accepted as one of the student nurses of St. Peter’s Hos- spending pital in Charlotte. She was some time with relatives in Wil- mington waiting until time to enter the Hospital. About one o'clock, the morning of the thirteenth of July, she was seized with a fit of coughing. This became worse until it affeeted her heart, A doctor was immediately called, and later a nurse.

Messenger CONFERENCES s gi NTIL a person gets into child welfare work, it is hard to rea- 4; lize how many people are thinking and studying about this | business, Nine months of the year are usually pretty well 5 i =. As) taken up with school, and the regular routine of the business | of running an Institution. All of the three months of socalled vacation are | taken up in conferences, and the person who attends all of them would not |} have any time left for putting what he learns at these conferences into | practice. Let’s enumerate a few of these: i In this particular section, there is the Tri-State Conference of Orphanage Workers, a very lively and worthwhile organization. It embraces, not only the orphanage executives but workers, of all the institutions of North Car- olina, South Carolina, and Georgia, and recently Virginia. This meets once a year, is well attended and is a live organization. Dr. Jacobs, the founder | of Thornwell Orphanage, was one of the orginators of this Conference. Then, there is a North Carolina Conference of Orphanage Workers which meets once a year and is made up of representatives from all of the or- phanages in North Carolina, regardless of denomination or color. Then there is the Orphanage Conference of the Southern Presbyterian Church which is supposed to meet once a year at Montreat. It includes the executives of the fifteen orphanages maintained by the Presbyterian Church in the Southern Assembly. Then there is the Southern Educational Conference of the Presbyterian | Church which meets in Montreat which discusses more nearly the education- | al matters and the Orphanages are combined in this conference with the | schools and colleges and seminaries. | Then there are the welfare conferences held in the various states in which ‘ the orphanages participate with the welfare agencies of the various coun- ties; and the State organization, also. This ties up the work with local agencies and corrective institutions. Then there are the conferences of the Child Welfare League of America usually held regionally so that wherever you may be in the United States, ! it is possible to attend these. Then there is the big National Conference of Social Workers embracing everything of social welfare nature. There are usually from five to six thousand people attending this conference. It met this present year at Min- neappolis. The year before, in San Francisco; the year before, in Memphis. Then, of course, every ten or fifteen years, there is a big National Con- terence like the recent White House Conference called by President Hoo- ver on Child Health and Protection. Then there are conferences on Child Health ranging all the way from purely locai affairs to National and International affairs. The same thing applies to recreation. We have before us a most attractive invitation to a Recreation Conference of the United States and Canada. Then, there is Educational Conferences, County, State-wide and Nation- wide. When one attends any great number of these conferences he is apt to become bewildered with the maze of conflicting opinions. Occasionally one runs across an individual or group of individuals who claim to have discovered the panacea for all the ills of society, and then you may find another group with almost opposite views. For instance, twenty-five years ago, there was a swing away from the Institutions. It appeared to be the ; concensus of opinion among certain people that the Orphanage had outliv- ed its day. Everything was for adoption into homes. After awhile this policy was tempered after experiencing numbers of failures in trying to fit all cases for adoption, and Mothers’ Aid commenc- ed to be glorified above all other things. It was quickly found, however, that Mothers’ Aid was not a cure-all. It is a wonderful aid, but not fitted | to cure every case of dependency. As time comes on it becomes increasingly evident that welfare workers over the country are realizing that no one thing is going to cure all of the economic ills and family breakdowns. Some cases the breaking up of the home, and placing the children by adoption into foster homes, is the best remedy, In other cases, financial aid to the mother has worked out splen- didly. In ether cases, the Orphanage seems to be the only solution. Re- cently a new form of child relief has been put into practice; that of paid foster homes, or boarding homes. The advocates of this at first are in- clined to think that this will cure all ills; but it just lines up with the other forms of child relief as another agency to take care of part of the load, and by careful selection, doing a better job for those children sO se- lected than might be the case were this form of relief not available, There is one thing that a person who has visited many conferences will | note: and that is the increasing respect that the various agencies have for each other, and the co-operation that they are inclined now to give to the others, in the work of caring for dependent children. There is less of argument for the sake of an opinion, but more argument or conference to- ward doing better work, than was noticeable in the past, and we consider all this a sign that times are getting better. Possibly the criticisms that the Orphanages had to go through some years back did them good. We would- n’t admit it then, but we do now. When we go to see plays like “Daddy Long-Legs” we are struck by the great contrast btween the Orphanage as portrayed in that picture, and the Orphanage of today; and yet those of us whe have long memories can remember when that picture was so near the actual workings of the average orphanage that it did not create sur- prise when we saw it portrayed on the screen. Criticism is an unpleasant medicine for anyone to have to take. It is quite often good medicine, how- ever; even though the criticism may be of a more or less malicious nature. We one time heard a noted minister make a prayer something like this: "0; Lord, We thank Thee for our friends, and their praise of us; but more especially do we thank Thee for our enemies and their criticism of us, for | our friends words tend to make us complacent and self-satisfied; where, | the words of our enemies May open our eyes to see our own faults.” May |} God save us from the danger of complacency, and may we repeat that pray- | er as we go about doing for helpless childhood in the name of Christ. | Reis __|Doom of Friday Nights The pocr motorist is becoming e one of the tax-collector’s best Remains Obsolete Here sources of revenue.

While on his visit home, Mr. Brady made numerous visits to Barium and preached to Little Joe’s congregation. We, the family at Barium bid him good luck and God-speed in his field of work. He is a son of Mr. J.A. Brady of Statesville P. 0. H.—- JULY AT BARIUM So many of the children go away on vacations during the month of July that Barium campus just takes a gloomy atmosphere unto itself, and insofar as activities go, not much happens. Right now there are children from Presbyterian Orphans’ Home _§ scat- tered the length of the State, on va- cation with near or distant relatives. And what they experience in this, their relaxation of the year’s grind, on their return to the Home, would be sufficient to fill a fair sized vol- ume. Particularly is this true in our knowledge of the State, for we have 360 reasons here for knowing our geography. —P. 0.

GHIGO IMPROVING Mrs. Juliette Ghigo, one of the ma- trons at Barium, who has been con- fined at a hospital in Statesville for the past two months, is rapidly re- covering. Mrs. Ghigo suffered a frac- ure of the left limb in a fall on the stairway of the cottage. Following the accident complications set up and prolonged her recovery. However, at this time, it is thought she will soon be able to leave the hospital and be back on the campus. -———-F, ©.

In spite of this, annual increases in motor vehicle registration have not been less than 11 per cent, and expenditures for highways have gone upbut six per cent. So far during 1931 ten legisla- tures have given the gas tax a boost skyward—and in one state a seven- cent tax just excaped passing.

Our vision and our judgement and unbalanced conceptions. We visualize the older world by single outstanding events and glorify its historie personages. We typify ancient Babbylon hy feast of Belshazzar, We judge ancient Rome hy the revels of Nero. We measure the statesmen of our own day by our modern ideals of Washington and Lincoln. In short, we minify the world around us, oblivious of the fact that the human nature that governs and operates it is our age that it was in the days that we extol and magnify.

In the last few days cotton has ad- vanced something like ten dollars a bale, and the indications now are that the change is not a mere flash in the pan. While the spectacular advance has been precipitated largely by the an- nouncement of the debt moratorium plan, it is well to note that an upturn in cotton prices had already taken place when that event occurred. The pronouncement has simply stimulated and hastened a trend that was already in the making. Cotton had been buoyed from its lows by increasing consumption and prospects that the crop would not be so large as had been thought. The moratorium an- nouncement has had the affect of making it reasonably certain that cot- | ton has turned the corner, and that | has had the inevitable effect of fur-) ther stimulating purchases of both cot- ton goods and raw cotton, bringing in- to action much delayed buying that had been hesitating while prices were still apparently on the down grade. Large sales of cotton goods in the na- tion’s markets are reported in the last few days, and when the great con- suming public learns that the exist- ing bargains are as good as can be expected, there will be increasing pur- chases from that source. All these indications point to in- creasing activity and better profits for the textile industry, and prices for the cotton farmer that will be, at least, more satisfactory than many | had expected at planting time. The| crop is being produced this year at| unusually low cost accompanied likewise with the production of much home grown grains and other food- stuffs. Agriculture in this section of | the country should be reasonably | prosperous this fall—in better con- dition, at any rate, than was gener- ally expected earlier this year. The section can look forward to the fall season with confidence and optimism —Greenville News public. The laws of the state regu- lating traffic and travel has been so worked out that little or no just complaint can be charged against them. The people make the country what it is, and if it were not for the same thinking people, it would not last over night. When we go out on the race under the steering wheel. The conservative motorist does not need to look the one he meets over, or inquire who he is or what sort of character he may be.

The narrow minded selfish bigot will take more than half the road and force the other fellow to retreat. This is the species of motorist that should be made eextict by taking his license away from him for an_ indefinite period of time. The speed maniac is also a danger- ous person to cope with. The most simple and ignorant can press accelerator. Gas will burn, and unless properly controlled and regulated, it can become a_ powerful engine of death and destruction. It is appalling to read the death toll andproperty loss caused by the automobile. This should, and could be cut to almost nothing if sanity and judgement were uppermost in theminds of the motorists.

Worrying about things which cannot be changed or corrected. Insisting that a thing is im- possible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. Refusing to set aside trivial preference in order that im- portant things may be accom- plished. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading, Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do. The failure to establish habit of saving money. —P. 0. H.—— the Mistress: “So you're leave us? Do you want a_ refer- ence?” Ann “No, ma’am. The man I’m going to work for is willing to take chances.

On Wednesday, August the 19th, the Board of Regents met at the King Cotton Hotel in Greensboro to decide whether or not to accept state aid for maintaining the Orphanage school. “Application for this aid had to be in not later than August the twentieth, so the date of the meeting of the Regents was the very latest that could possibly be had. At this meeting there was presented ali the data that could be Barium Springs, North Carolina ' ‘Table Of Au assembled as to just what the acceptance of State aid would re-| quire. There were other people present at this meeting beside the Board, who were there by invitation to present their views on the matter. Both sides of the question were argued quite at length; but when the question was put, the Board unanimously voted not to accept State aid for the coming year, but to continue our schools exactly as they have been in the past. It was the sense of this meeting that during the year a careful be made of the plans worked out by one other orphanage, to see if they are satisfactory, and if possible, to work a plan whereby state aid can be used without causing such a wholesale disruption of the Orphanage organization as would be necessary in using the plans outlined this year. At the request of the Regents, the following article appears in the Messenger giving their reasons for not accepting State aid this year. So much has been said both in the news columns of the newspapers and editorials, about the State taking over the Orphanage Schools, that we feel | sure that a great many people have gotten the wrong idea about just what | this means. A great many of the Orphanages in the State have been using the State School System for quite some time. Thompson Orphanage in Charlotte has always used the City Schools. The High Point Orphanage, Goldsboro Or- phanage, and to a certain extent, the Raleigh Methodist Orphanage are us- ing State System Schools; so in their case it is no new thing. For Oxford the Mills Home, and Barium Springs, it is quite a different thing, because all three of these Institutions are so large as compared with their respective communities that it means quite a revolution in arrangements for them to consider accepting State aid. As soon as the McLean bill was passed, the Oxford Orphanage immedi- ately applied for the State to take over their school, and the arrangements have gone through, and as we understand it, they will be part of the State System next year. In line with this, we have consulted the County Board of Education; and the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State, to try and find out just what was best for Barium Springs to do. We find that the following conditions are necessary if we are to obtain any State aid whatever: First: That we lease to the State our two school buiidings, surrendering all control over them. Second: That our school be under the control of the school board of Troutman and our schools considered as part of the system of that town. Third: That our high school be consolidated with Troutman—the stu- dents being sent to Troutman by bus. That the rooms in the Barium buiid- ings thus made vacant to be used for grammar grade children now being taught Jn Troutman. Fourth: That the selection of teachers be entirely through the Troutman School Board. Fifth: That the hours of school be in conformity for the whole system. That is 8:45 A. M., to 3:00 P. M., for everybody. Sixth: That no supplement be allowed either in teaching force or length of term unless this can be provided for the entire 1100 children in the con- solidated system. Now, in order for every one who is not familiar with our present school system to understand, we will describe briefly how our present school is be- ing run: Our school starts in the morning at 7:30, with the eleventh, tenth, ninth and half of the eighth grade in attendance in the High School. The first, second, third, fifth, and a special grade are in attendance in the other build- ing. All of the other children of the place are carrying on necsesary ac- tivities, such as the Printing Office, Sewing Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry, Farm, Truck Farm, Dairy, Orchards, etc. Promptly at noon, everyone comes to dinner, and those who have attended school in the morn- ing take up the work of the place; even to the shift in the Dining Room, where one group puts the meals on the table, whereas another group waits on the tables. In the afternoon, one section of the eighth grade at school, and the fourth grade, sixth, seventh, and two special grades. There is supervised study hour at night for certain groups, and by utiliz- ing carefully the daylight hours we are enabled to carry on the necessary work of the place and produce quite a large part of our living. We also have this to dovetail with our athletic and recreational programs so that there appears to be plenty of time for fun, as well as work and study. The State School laws will not fit into this. There will be no one from the hours from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon to do any work and this work will have to be done. So naturally this means enploy- ing quite a number of extra workers to take their place. From 3:30 to 6:00 all the children will be on our hands and during this period will have to be crowded all their instructions and expdrience in work, their social and recreational program and whatever religious instruction we can give them. These things can not be done by a few people using the entire group. It must be done in small groups. At present it is done with individuals working with small groups all dur- ing the day. With the consolidation then, we would have to have people available to handle this very crowded two hours and a half to give the children these things that are just as necessary as bread. We have maintained a ten months school at times, at other times a nine and a half; sometimes a nine months school. The State School System may run eight months, it may run six; but whatever it runs those accepting State aid will have to conform exactly with it, and it will not be possible to either supplement salary or time for increasing the attention that we might want our children or certain of our children to have. This will mean a larger number that will fail to be promoted. Times when this is done, it means a year lost. This is pretty hard on the child, but it might be well to stop and think a moment as to what it means to the Institution. We understand that it costs sixty dollars a year to provide education for every child in the State System of schools. So when there is a failure to = it means that the State has lost sixty dollars that year. on that child. The Orphanage spends about $360.00 a year on a child. Even if relieved of the education part, that will be three hundred; so that if a child is not promoted, it means that the Orphanage has lost on that child, looking at it from a purely monetary point, three hundred dollars for that year. Naturally, the Orphanage can not afford to view as complacently as the State might, failures to move up from year to year, and yet if we accept State aid, we are rather helpless to change that situation. One other thing that will mean a good deal to a num ber of friends of the Institution, it will mean so much to us that is hard to estimate it, we will have to give up organized athletics. We will no longer be a unit. The best of our boys and girls will be absorbed in the Troutman Schools, and if Bar- ium should attempt to get out a team, it would be entirely of the leftovars. We have heard a lot about the morale of Barium. We believe this morale is made up of two things. A spirit of self-confidence and independence brought about by our efforts to make at least part of our own living, and the other is ovr organized athletics. It wuld sacrifice both of these things to take State aid as we have it offered to us now. - [CONTINUED TO PAGE FOUR—Columns 1 & 2.] PRESBYTERY RECEIPTS Winston-Salem $8 92.84 Mecklenburg $1219.29 Concord $ 603.00 Kings Mountain $ 281.40 Albemarle $ 31.01 Granville $ 252.21 | Wilmington $ 188.18 Fayetteville $ 215.14 Orange $ 176.42 TOTAL, $3059.49 lished By Presbyterian Orphans’ Home For The Information Of Its Friends —September 1931 SCHOOLS AND STATE MONEY "ase, gust Receipts ~ & he ~v $8 » co SD = = 8 ty =a a™s <88 #25 2 yo = 2 2 ey sO Bam sa | Eee §$ =, as oe og By Eo toe Bow <a <Q 2'44¢ }§=6884c )§=66242c ~=224e ~—rbehind T4e 21'%42c 62'2ce dle behind 5¥%ece 19¢ 62',¢ 43%:¢ behind Sloe I',ce 624,c 44'4¢ behind le W744c 62',¢ 443,¢ behind 4¥,¢ 1334c 62"%,c 4834¢ behind 24c 1234c¢ 62%, 493,¢ behind 2c Wise 624:,c Sle behind 1%4c ll'yc 62'2c Sle behind de 16.9¢ 62.5¢ 45.6¢ behind *AKE a good look at the above TasLe of RECEIPTS.

Beautiful Wedding When Miss | Ruth Lowrance and Mr. Joseph Eslie Rhyne Take Vows (The Statesville Record, Sept. 3) | A wedding of interest to a wide | circle of friends in North Carolina and Florida was solemnized in Lit- tle Joe’s Chapel, Barium Springs, last Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, when Miss Lenora Ruth Lowrance became the bride of Mr. Joseph Eslic Rhyne, of Jacksonville, Fla. The beautiful ceremony, which included the impressive ring service, was per- formed by Rev. W. C. Brown, the bride’s pastor, assisted by Rev. Hugh Rhyne, of Marion, Va., brother of the groom. The beautiful little church was very attractively decorated for the event with baskets of white hydran- geas and snow-on-the-mountain, with seven-branched candelabra in which ivory tapers burned, adding rich beauty to the scene. The choir loft was Kandsomely decorated with pines and cedars. The chancel rail was banked with delicate ferns. While the wedding guests were as- sembling, a delightful musical pro- gram was given by Miss Lucy Lee, of Ronceverte, W. Va., at the piano, and Miss Iris Bryson, of Greenville, S. C., vocalist. Miss Lee was attrac- tively attired in a beautiful salmon satin dress which, as with all gowns worn by members of the wedding party, was in the long princess style. She wore a shoulder corsage of yel- low roses and yellow snapdragons. | Miss Bryson was dressed in a charm- ing gown of pink lace and wore a corsage of yellow roses and snapdra- gons. “Narcissus” was played by Miss Lee, and Miss Bryson sang, “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life,” and “All For You.” “The Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin formed the processional, and Mendelssohn’s Wedding March was used as the recessional. “To a Wild Rose” was softly played by ag | The bride entered on the arm of | jher father, Mr. J.

C., brother of the groom; and |Mr. Buster Rhyne of Dallas, the | groom's cousin. The bridesmaids, who were beau- tifully gowned in satin dresses in the stately princess style, were Miss Elizabeth Cochrane, of Greenville, S. C., and Miss Julia McNeely, of Mooresville, the bride's aunt, in green satin; Miss Billie Deaton, of States- | ville, and Miss Mary Brown, of Bar- |ium Springs, in lavendar; Miss Lu- jcile Young, of Troutman, and Miss Sara Brawley, of Mooresville, in pink. The bridesmaids carried lovely arm bouquets of pink roses and white } swansonias, tied with tulle of con- | trasting colors. Miss Mildred Groome, of Greens- boro, was maid of honor. She was at- tired in a lovely blue satin dress and carried an arm bouquet of pink roses and white swansonias, tied with contrasting tulle. Little Miss Frances Lowrance, at- tractive sister of the bride, was jun- ior maid of honor. She was also dressed in blue satin, with a bouquet of roses and swansonias. The groomsmen were Mr. Glenn | Wilson, of Erie, Pa., Mr. Irvin Jac- | kins, of Barium Springs, Mr. Ralph Costner, of Dallas, N.C., Mr. Wilson Kerney, of Mount Airy. Mr. John Knox, of Statesville, and Mr. Ray- mond Lineberger, of Gastonia. and Master Grady Moretz, of Boone. Little Betty Jo Matthews was charm- ing in a white point de sprit dress with long, full skirt and basque waist. Master Grady Moretz was handsome in white flanne! trousers with white satin blouse. They car- ried the ring on a white satin pil- low. | The groom entered the church with Mr. Mark Pasour, of Dallas, N. C., best man, and awaited the bride at the altar. The three charming flower girls |were most attractive in dresses of point de sprit in different colors, | with long full skirt and basque waist. | They were Miss Margaret Ann Cost- |ner, of Charlotte, in yellow; Miss |Mary Agnes Graham, of Concord, in blue; and Miss Leila Johnston, of | Barium Springs, in green. | gave her in marriage. She was gor- |geously attired in a long white satin | dress in the princess lines, with flow- ing train. The delicate veil was in leap shape and was caught by sprays }of orange blossoms. She carried a |lovely shower bouquet of white roses and swansonias. Immediately after the ceremony, the couple left for a two-weeks bri- | dal trip to northern points. The bride wore a modish green woolen sport dress with a short van duke fur coat and brown accessories. Upon their |return they will be at home at 710 Oak Street, Jacksonville, Florida.

Tuesday was the ideal day —almost. Many of us remember the blister- ing effects of the sun and water ¢¢ mbined on tender faces and backs from our experience at Myrtle Beach last year. Well, the sun considerately stayed under the clouds all day Tuesday, but in the afternoon, that same set of the rain, and might have had distress that night, but for the fact that one entire group of girls to this cottage; and everybody was happy. Wednesday was cloudy, but ideal in every other respect, and we ate world without end! Wednesday night was the quietest night of the trip, with and sleep with us. Thursday was another day of fun. One of the big events of the day was a motor boat ride all over the lake, and everybody had a left-overs from all of the other meals including, ham, potatoes, bacon, was made into hash, and you know that hash was really good, and it made pack- Thursday night, the girls went back to their house to sleep, the boys re- maining in camp. The only tradgedy of the night was another boy walking in his sleep and walking away from his clothes and not being able to re- member where he put them. This was a really serious matter. We had no barrels fer him to stand it on to come home in. It must have been a fox that got his clothes, be- cause they never showed up.

Vol. VII. September, 1931 No. Twelve THE CRUISE OF THE HAPPY HUNDRED Monday morning, August the i0th, at 4:00 A. M., things commenced to stir at Barium Springs. By five o’clock, the Farm Truck loaded with tents, and camping equipment and eleve out to preprae the way for the big crowd tc follow. At 6 o'clock, bbreakfast happened, and the camping party ate their last civilized meal for several days. In the interval between the leaving of the first truck and breakfast, another group of boys gathered six hundred ears of corn and some other vegetables for the camp. Immediately after breakfast, a big borrowed truck loaded up with the bedding and ail of the girls. It was under way by seven o'clock. Then the Home Truck loaded up with thirty of the smaller boys, and followed immediately after. By that time the Truck Farm Truck had loaded up with food and cooxing utensils, and then it pulled out. Then the three cars, Mr. MeMillan’s, Mr. O’Kelley’s and the Managers. The whole cavalcade getting under way by eight o'clock. Down through Davidson, Charlotte, Monroe, everything moving smoothly; and then just beyand Marshville the Truck Farm rruck had a puncture. This quickly fixed up, however, and the journey resumed. Everything passed the big truck load of girls, except Mr. O’Kelly’s car, and all arrived on schedule except the big truck. It had memories of last year’s trip to Myrtle Beach, and just to prove that it had more tires on it than other cars, it proceeded to have three blowouts in the last fifty miles of the trip; but even at that, it arrived in J time for supper. The first truck arrived at noon. The boys on it immediately made camp, putting up the five tents, and by that time the whole party was there, not only was the camp in fine shape, but supper was well on the way, and all the children had to do was to furnish the appetites. In a very short time after supper, everything was in Lake Waccamaw, and they say that the water rose about six inches, al! over the place. Or at least the waves that reached the shore were more violent than any they have had this summer. And old timers thought a terrible storm was coming up. It turned out to be nothing more than cur party splashing in the warm delightful waters of this most remarkable lake Everybody was in bed by ten o'clock. The dip in the lake had made everybody tender so that the red bugs had as little difficulty as possible in arranging for their picnic lunch that night. We were told before going to Lake Waccamaw that there might be meos- quitoes there. We hasten to assure everybody that there ate no mosquitoes at Lake Waccamaw. They don’t have a chance to get you for the red bugs. The first night in camp, with nobody sleeping very soundly, the var- jous animals in the woods came up to see what it was all about. There were | more different kinds of owls with more different sorts of noises all night long than any civilized person could have thought possible, and foxes—well, they almost pulled you out of bed, and came right up and barked in your face. At one time there were three inside of the camp! Outside of one boy walking in his sleep and getting lest, the night passed without troubles of any kind. There was a slight accident early in the morning when two boys were enjoying an early before-breakfast game of horseshoes, and another slight youngster walked in front and the horse- shoe rang him instead of the peg. This required quite a bit of adhesive tape to remedy, but no permanent damage was done. As soon as breakfast, (which was an individual affair), was over, every- Seventh , Miss Dorothy Carson _. Kindergarten | » boys and eleven lunches, started | At five-thirty A. M., Friday morning, it commenced to rain and it com- menced to get harder every minute, and this was not so pleasant as we had to get our last hurried breakfast and break camp and get away.However, we managed to get the girls off without getting them wet at all. The next truck of small boys left slightly damp. This left the other two trucks to break camp and leave und everybody was away by seven-thirty, and before we had gone ten miles we were out of the rain, and there was no signs of it any more that day. It just looks like that rain told us it was time to leave. Just to sum up a little bit for people who like figures. There were 102 children on this trip; 103 came back. This puzzled us a little bit, but we found that we had picked up one of the vaceationers down near Lake Wacca- maw—Ernest Clark. There were seven grown people. We ate up three hun- dred loaves of bread; four crates of eggs, seven hams, forty pounds of weiners, four bushels of potatoes, six hundred ears of corn, a truck load and a half of watermelons, as a few of the main articles of diet. We travel- ed 215 miles each way, and the total expense, as nearly as we can figure it cut at this time, runs about $150.00, a saving of $50.00 over the expense of our trip last year. They teli us that the dining room at Barium was mighty quiet while this group was away. It was certainly not quiet at the first meal after their return. Everyone was asking a question, and there was someone at each table that had made this trip, and a lot of things had to be told. In addition to the general experience of the whole bunch, there were a lot of individual experiences that were most interesting. There were a lot of special things which makes us glad that we made the trip. We met a lot of friends and we found that Barium Springs was very well known and much loved in that neighborhood. | We wish we could enumerate by name and deed, everyone that did some- \thing for us and just what they did; but we just can’t get all that in one paper. We just want to mention a few things that stand out: | In the first piace, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton were so interested in our com- j ing to Waccamaw that we credit them with a good many of the things that | were done in our behalf. Mr. Clyde Counsel, not only let us have the ground to camp on, but cleared it up and fixed it so that we could get water, |and altogether made it possible for us to have a successful camp. The loads of watermelons are assiciated with the names of Mr. Sloan, Mr. Hutton and | others, and mun! let me tell you they were watermelens! Down in that ‘country they don’t consider watermelons anything at all unless it weighse | fifty pounds—-Everything under that is called a lemon, and the things they | gave us were not lemons! Then Mr. High was the man that let us have that house without which we would certainly have suffered. Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the Lake View Inn, engineered the boat ride, and he himself drove one of the boats. We had so many in our party | that z took two big boats making two complete trips to get our party all round. 5 We all returned home full of enthusiasm, with no major accidents, with chigger bites to prove that we had been somewhere; and now we are all set ¢, . for school. Just bring on your school, and see if we don’t eat it up. —P. 0.

He made jhe is being pickled. | One of the most thrilling moments ‘of this seaboard adventure was the | picking up of a hitch-hiker at Caro- ‘lina Beach and conveying this same hitch-hiker down to Fort Fisher and the Government Rock at the Cape | Fear River. It so happened that while our flivver was parked in the garage over the week-end, a black snake of ‘some thirty-inch proportions, took it jon himself to crawl in said flivver, \thinking maybe, that he, too, would ‘like to forsake his native haunts and |see the world. We handled this pas- |senger one way and part of the way back, and, for the fact he wanted /to take a hand in the driving of the ‘old bus, we stopped the car and made ee snake get out. This proved a per- plexing situation. For, while the snake was in the front seat at the | outset, he insisted that he ride in the | back, and we had a game of hide and seek in the car for a _ change without anything to molest us. | We also formed a conviction of this point, taken from practical ex- | perience, to-wit: We believe that the | fish in that pond get tired of being fed on shrimp diet (hook bait) and whenever a guy takes a notion to go | out and float a sinker with this stuff the fish go into a huddle, cut some tail-spins, and make the tide so rough there is nothing else to it but sea- sickness, even though you have a lemon to suck. And our point of argu- ment here is brought on by these same shrimp. The fish have established a code with the mosquitoes inland, and every time a fishing boat goes out with nothing but shrimp, they turn the tables with the tide, make «an S. O. S. call to the home guard, and a peltering of whelps are evinced as souvenirs of your sojourn to the sea- board. You can take it from Jupiter Plurious that you’ll shed a new hide down there too.

H.— To Secretaries of Orphanage Work in Woman’s Auxiliaries (Continued from page one) work necessary? (A splendid book- let on Case Work may be had on ap- plication to the office at Barium Springs.) Miss Steele is the Case Worker. Her work is necessary be- cause out of eleven children for whom application for admission is made on- ly one can be admitted, and in order that right and fair decisions may be made, full information must be at hand. How is the running of the Home financed? By voluntary contributions from the people of North Carolina Synod. From what 3 sources does this money come? 1. Special Gifts. 2. 74% % of the Benevolent Budget of the Churches, Sunday Schools, Auxiliar- ies, etc. 3. Thanksgiving Offerings. How much does this average per Presbyterian church member in N. C. Synod? There are about 75,000 mem- | bers of our Synod, so ($1.50) per member per year would supply the. Support Fund. But there are many chiidren on our church rolls, and many who are not interested or not financially able to give, so many of us must give much more than the average. How may I keep informed as to conditions at the Home? By reading the Messenger regularly. Do you know the names of your Presbyterial Secretary of Orphanage Work; also the nams of th Regents from your Presbytery? What is the state of the finances or the Support Fund at the present time? (See Mr. Johnston's article in the Messenger for this month.) How can I help this situation? 1. By giving all I can. 2. By talking about the Home and interesting oth- ers in its work and its needs. 3. By putting on the best campaign be- tween now and Thanksgiving that we may give an offering then which shall supply the great need. When may I be sure I have done my full duty by our Orphanage Work? When what I have done is considered in the light of two sayings of our Lord.. “Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” * * * and— “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my breth- ren, ye have done it unto me.” -P. 0.

BRADSHAW Below we are printing a clipping from the HOME CHRONICLE, a paper published by the Children’s Home, Winston-Salem, The subject of this sketch, Mr. Bradshaw, has been for a numbers of years, Princi- pai of the school at the Children’s Home. We have come in contact with Mr. Bradshaw on numerous occasions. He was in charge of the athletics of the Children’s Home. We had many contacts with him through our athletic relations. He was in charge of this school, and we had many contacts with him in connec- | tions with the school, and in connec- | tion with the various meetings of the Orphanage Association. We want to add our tribute that expressed by his own home paper. We know of no man in Orphanage , circles that we admire more than we do Mr. Browshaw. It is with a distinct sense of loss that we read of his leaving the Orphanage work. We believe that he has been one of the greatest forces for good in this work anywhre, and we wish for him in his new calling the success that has at- tended him in his old. The following from Home Chronicle | “Robert W. Bradshaw, who for the past nine years has been principal of the Children’s Home schocl and for the past year editor of the Home | Chronicle, leaves the Children’s Home on September 1. It wii be remember- | ed that Mr. Bradshaw submitted his | resignation to the board of trustees of the Children’s Home _ several months ago in order that he might accept the call to enter the Christian ministry. He was licensed to preach by the Winston-Salem District Con- | ference held at Farmington last June. | and will doubtless be admitted into the Western North Carolina Confer- ence held at Asheville next Novem- | ber, to be transferred to the North Carolina Conference for an appoint- ment at the hands of Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon. The Children’s Home re- grets exceedingly to lose Mr. Brad- shaw. His interest in the Home and | his love for our children have envel- oped his whole life and only an in- sistent and urgent call to preach | enabled him to break these close ties. Mr. Bradshaw is not leaving the Home because of any failure on any bedy’s part to apprvviate his good services. He is simply answering 4 divine call. Our Chronicle readers will miss his monthly messages, portraying as they | have actual and vivid happenings connected with the lives of our child- ren..Our readers are assured, how- ever, that from time to time we shall be favored with messages from Mr. Bradshaw. We shall ali join in hope and assttrance that Mr. Bradshaw will be as successful in the ministry as he has proven himself to be as a teacher and leader of young life— O. V. W. —P. 0.

Sears and King advanced the ball; King carrying in over for a touchdown, A moment or two later, King plunged over for the extra point, making the score 7-0. The balance of the game was played on fairly even terms. The number of first downs being practically the same. Our next varsity game was the opening game at Barium, with Lex- ington. Everything was just ideal ‘for this game. The weather that had been so hot, turned a little cooler; the edge was taken off the sunshine by a few clouds.

After one line play, Lexington tried a pass which ws intercepted by Joe Johnston, and brought to about the filty yard line. Here after one or two line plays, Pittman took the ball and ran the rest of the field for a touch- down. A little bit later in the second quarter, another touchdown was made the advance being off tackle and line plays, with Sears and King doing ; most of the advancing, but the ball | being finally carried over for a tonch- down by Johnston. A second touch- down by Pittman in this quarter, and another touchdown by Pittman in the third quarter, completed the scoring, which was finally 25-0 in favor of Barium. Barium’s gains were through the line; off-tackle and end run. Lexing- ton attempted three passes, which were grounded. One was com- i none of | the guests of the they could get started. Purdy at center; Freeman, tackle, were particularly good. In the back- tield, the members of last year’s Mid- get Team did most of the ball carry- ing; but Captain King, the only hea- vy man in the backfield, was blasting holes for the ball carriers to advance. He played a good game, both offen- sively and defensively, Several players on Lexington play- ed good ball—Cecil’s punts were beautiful and his defensive work in the backfield was fine. Patterson also showed up well. Although on the short end of the score the visitors kept on fighting and were going bet- ter in the last quarter than at any other time during the game. The officials were Davis, of David- son; Bradshaw of Davidson; and Barclay of Erskine. The attendance, all told, about fif- teen hundred. The Midget football started off Saturday morning, September 19th, with a victory over the Charlotte Cubs, 13-0. This team played under the same rules that governed at Charlottesville last year, 115-pound average; 125-pound limit. There were several veterans on the team, but most of this team was made up of new men. Ladd Fowler made one touchdown; Robert Blue made the other, During the latter part of the fame, the Cubs picked up and threat- ened to score, but were stopped be- fore the threat had gotten very far.

Murphy Williams, Greensboro, N. C Gentlemen: Pursuant to an order passed at the last meeting of Synod, I am replying te your communication addressed to the Board of Reyents, under date of August the 18th. In the outset, we want to thank you for the deep interest which you have manifested »n the affairs of Bar- ium Springs Orphanage as evidenced by your letter. We wish to assure you that we are keenly aware of the financial pressure of today. Our Board of Regents is composed of lay- men, ministers, end women who are familiar with this condition. We have endeavored in every way possi- ble to reduce expenses. We have been endeavoring, not just for this year, but for the last fiv eyears, to arrive at some plan whereby State aid would be available for our school. In the Legislature of 1927, a bill was introduced which would have en- abled all the Orphanages to receive benefit through the Equalizing Fund. The substitution of one word in this bill rendering it optional rather than obligatory, apparently nullified the cffects of it, and the Orphanage did not receive benefit thereby. In the efforts made this year to se- cure State aid, the Board of Regents went as far as they could in trying Mrs. J. E. Driscoll, Charlotte; Mrs. Z. V. Turlington, Mooresville; Mrs. Cc. J. Angle W.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF PRESBY- TERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME TO THE SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA I N PREPARIING this, the most important report made dur- ing the entire year, we are faced with one great difficulty; and that difficulty is to select those things that are most important to present to you. There are many things of great importance that can not be included because of the limited time given for this report. We want to say in the outset that if there are any points not covered fully enough to satisfy any members of the Synod, we will be only too glad to furnish more detailed information on request. We want to show you something of the amount of work be- ing done. If possible, to show something of the kind of work being done; and of course, we want to show you the cost of the work. We also want to show you our present difficulties, and our plans for the immediate future. In order to get this before you in a concise form, and still cover the subject, we have decided to present our report this year somewhat in narrative form. We will commence with the situation at the beginning of the last Church, year, April the first, 1930. At that time, our op- erating budget showed a deficit of $54,000.00, in round num- bers. Of this total, 8,000.00 had been added during the year just closed. There are 358 children in the Institution. There were appli- cations pending for 39 children. During the first quarter—April, May and June—these thirty- nine applications and twenty-nine others were investigated and disposed of as follows: The Orphanage received 16; and plans were made for 52 to be cared for either by relatives or other organizations, except where the investigation showed that no urgent need was pre- sent, During this period 21 children were graduated. The largest class in the history of the Institution, and seven returned to their homes because of these homes being re-established on a sound foundation. During this time we received in contributions through the regular channels, including clothing money, $12,694.99. From all other sources, $9,868.89. Making a total of $22,563.88. In- cluded in this amount was the $6,780.00 received form the Duke Endowment. This revenue even with the help of the Duke Endowment, did not quite reach the expenses of the Institution during that — with the result that $2,276.00 was added to our indebt- edness. The next quarter, comprising July, August and September, was a period of great activity, but the lowest income. Dur- ing this period of time, applications for 63 children were in- vestigated and acted upon, with the result that 15 entered the Institution, and 48 were disposed of by having their care as- sumed by relatives, other agencies, or by boarding homes, School started with 365 children. A tuberculosis clinic was held showing much improvement in the children over previous years, but resulting in one child having to go to Sanatorium. Our athletic field was completed, and it was found that of the $8,300.00 contributed for the building of this field, and for the fence, that only a little more than $4,000.00 had actually been used in its construction. The balance of this money was allowed to apply on the Support Fund. The receipts during this period were as follows: From re- gular benevolent channels, including clothing money, $10,903- -49, a little more than one third of the amount necessary to run the Institution during these months. July is a month of low expense, but August and September are times when supplies are usually laid in for the winter, in the way of clothing, shoes, and school supplies; and all of the new children usually have to be outfitted anew. The result of this condition found us at the first of October, with a very heavy debt. We owed at that time, altogether, $83,498.56. This was the situation when Synod met last year, and these were the facts laid before the Synod. The response of the whole Synod to this condition was most encouraging. The Thanksgiving offerings were more universal] and as a rule, bette than for several years past. So much so that they made up the deficiency in the receipts from the regu- lar contributions from the churches, Sunday Schools and Auxi- laries, so that the total for che year reached the amount con- tributed the year before. Nevertheless, even with this improved Thanksgiving offering, the Board of Regents were faced with a very serious situa- tion. A matter of some $60,000.00 that remained as a debt, even after the Thanksgiving offering, had to be handled in some way. So a meeting was held in December, to consider ways and means for taking care of this indebtedness. After two months deliberation, it was decided to apply for a ten- year loan of an Insurance Company. Negotiations were start- ed with Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, and to- ward the end of February an agreement was reached. As a result of the agreement, there was borrowed from the Jefferson Standard $50,000.00 for ten years at 6%. This loa. was secured by a first mortgage on all the real estate of the Orphanage, and a ten-year endowment policy on the life of the Manager. The premiums on this policy amounting to $4800 a year takes the place of a sinking fund, as the policy will mature and pay off the principal of the loan at its maturity. Should the insti- Barium Springs, (N. C.) Messenger Page Three the ten years, the loan will be paid by the death claim. The proceeds from this loan were used entirely to retire pressing debts to the local banks and firms with whom we were far in arrears. We ended the year, March Slst, 1921, with a deficit for the year of $8,242.08, which brought the total deficit in the neigh- borhood of $62,000.00 in round numbers. It has been a very trying year, and we have been embarassed expenses. The implication apparently veing that we had been expending unnessarily in some lines, and this should be reduced. As a matter of fact, the Institution hes to run at all times on the lines of strictest economy, and it is not easy to discover way to further reduce expenditures Without paying for it in re- | duced efficiency. : } Barium Springs’ per capita cost is on a par with like Insti-| tutions in the Carolinas. It is very muh below Institutions of | | a like nature elsewhere in the United States. We have attempt- | ed in several ways, however, to reduce expenses, We are pre-| paring to do away with the Commervial Department of our high school. This a most excellent de irtment and is handled by one of the best men in this wor’, and it has enabled a number of girls to prepare themselves {or better work on leav- ing the Institution. | However, we find that it is a large »xpenditure for a limited | number, and for that reason we are © scontinuing it, after the | present school year, The classes that }.ve already had one year | in commercial, we felt were due to be «lowed to complete their | courses. We have been more than usually ze: to take care of children outside of abling us to take care of as large a many in the Institution. Our most recent effort has been in the line of boarding homes. We are trying to discover as many homes over the state that can supply good care for children at a nominal price, and we are trying in this way to handle those cases coming to us where there is a relative who is able to pay something towards the support of the children. When a good boarding home can be provided, and the relative can provide the expense, it only leaves the burden of supervis- ion on the Orphanage, and this a much lighter expense, of course, than resident care. We are developing this particular ‘eature and hope by this means to reduce the total expense without reducing the service rendered. us in trying to arrange he Institution, Thus en- oad without having as quite often by having friends ask us what we are doing to lower | Also, there seemed a possibility that there would be some help available from the state in the maintainance of our schools. We watched with interest, the Legisiature, and the fina] en- acting of the state-wide school law. We, early in the summer, took up with the County Superintendent of Schools, the possi- bility of turning our educational load over to the state, For a time it looked as though a workable plan could be agreed upon, but later on, we found that the condition imposed by the state authorities were such as to disrupt al! of our organizations for work, and it did not appear that the state aid would represent a real saving ir money, and would certainly mean a demoral- ized Institution. | The Board of Regents carefully considered all angles of the | matter of state aid in a special mecting in Greensboro, and decided to forego asking for state aid this year; but to carry on a further study to see if plans could be made later on for tieing up with the state system of schools. This is the situation as it is today. We can not dismiss this particular subject of expense with- out commenting on the continued effort of the boys and girls | at Barium to carry their part of the load of this support. Each ' year, there is an increase in the amount of work of a productive nature that is done both by boys and girls. A larger percentag of the clothing is being made in our own sewing room than ever | before. The most abundant crops have been raised this year. particularly. The market value of the crops of the year of 1930 runs well over $30,000.00. It was a larger crop than the preceeding year, but the market value of the articles was less. Summing up the work of the year; in the handling of appli- | ¢ations, we find that during the church year from April the! | gated. Of these, 44 were accepted, and have entered the Insti-| tution; 53 are being cared for by relatives; 81 by other agencies, and Institutions. Most of these being taken care of by state Mothers’ Aid. In twenty-one cases, applications were made through a misunderstanding, and investigation showed there was really no need for the children to inter the Institution. Boarding homes, free homes, and work homes have been pro- vided for nine. Cases referred to other Institutions, 88. Adjust- ments made 59; Of the children who were already in the Orphanage, 12 returned to reestablished homes; 21 graduated; relatives assumed care of 7; 2 left to take work; 1 placed in 2 boarding home; one placed in a free home; making a total of 43 that have left the Institution during the year. As to finances, at the end of the church year, we find the In- | stitution in a more satisfactory financial] condition, although’ still with a revenue something under the expense.. We have weathered a time of stress in wich we were called on to do exceptionally large work on a very uncertain revenue. We found that although economic conditions were bad and predictions were gloomy that the church had responded to the need of the! Institution, and taken care of in this fashion. The church had not fallen behind the previous year. We looked forward to the new year with courage and hope. -While we had not retired our debt, it was in a much more easily handled condition, and the pressing of creditors was relieved for a time. first to April the first, there was a total of 752 children investi-| > port ends with this; but we can not close this report without mentioning our present situation. The receipts, while never good during the summer months, have been unusually poor this year, and the first months of the church year showed a revenue of | $6,600.00 less than that a year ago. This very much curtailed revenue was distressing. It would have been even more so, had it not been for our abundant crops 'this year. Our table has been supplied almost entirely by our | fields and gardens, and the cash expenditures have been limited | to Power and light bills, and pay rolls. But even with that, we | have been hard put to it to get along. In August we wrote to a few of our friends to send us some money quick! About $1, 800.00 came to us as a result of this special appea), and tided vs over a little while, but right at this present time, we face a most critical situation in our finances. You can gather from the foregoing that the consideration of finances has been one of the main subjects under consideration in all the Regents meetings. The Board realized, however, that confining all the discuss- ings to finances might result in neglect of other erually im- portant matters. So a Committee wes appointed to make a care- ful study of the Institution and to report, making recommend- ations for a constructive plan to cover a period of from five to ten years. The report of this committee which was later made to the entire Board and adopted, was that something should be done immediately to remedy the very crowded and unsatis- factory conditions in some of cur dormiteries. They recommena- ed the immediate erection of an additional building for boys. Barium Springs is a member of a National organization. It has a high standing in that organization. This Organization recognizes the kind of work that is done by this Institution but they feel that this is done in spite of these dangerous hand- icaps of overcrowded buildings, and too many children to ons matron, which is our practice. They feel that we will suffer for this, sooner or later, and our continued membership in this organization depends on some effort being made te remedy these conditions. Barium Springs has a most excellent staff of matrons and teachers, They are not only naturally women of high type, but they are quick to take every chance possible for improving their knowledge and skill in the work that they are doing. During last April, the Orphanage in connection with fifteen other Orphanages in North and South Carolina, put on an In- stitution for Orphanage workers. These mectings were held in four different cities. The lecturers were contributed by three National agencies. The National Child Health Association, the Nationa) Recreationa] Association; the Child Welfare League of America. The expense on the individual Institutnion was very light, but the work required of the matrons attending was very heavy. The meetings that Barium Springs’ staff attended wer2 in Charlotte, and for ten days an average of 15 workers from our Institution attended each day. We believe that the benefits from this particular Institute wil] be far reaching. We know that it has already raised the standard of our work. This is just another evidence of the icyalty and zeal of this fine body women. Our teachers are of the same kind, and every employee of Barium Springs has a loyalty to it that is certainly rare. There are times when we do not have money to pay even the few negro employees of the place, and their checks are held back, sometimes as much as ten days, without a murmur from them. We challenge anybody to present a like situation. One of the heaviest contributing communities in the Synod is that right here at Barium Springs; and the contributions comes from very modest salaries of our staff and employees. We want to speak in the highest praise of the attitude of the young men and wemen who have graduated from our Insti- tution. During the past two years, jobs have been scarce. Very few have secured the kind of work they wanted. Sometimes a girl graduate would have to take work which was prac- tically that of a servant. When this was necessary the work was done cheerfully without ill feelings or ugly spirit of any kind. Our graduates are fast becoming respected and valuable citizens whereveer they are located. We are glad to note in this connection that those that have een in college in recent years are doing well, Three graduated from Davidson with the class of 1931. One of these, with honors. We have letters that we prize very highly from the presidents of the colleges that our young people attend, speaking in the highest terms, not only of their preparation, but their charac- ters also. It is a little difficult for anyone to judge the value of the work of an Institution, until time has proved its \ lue. We are in a much better position to judge the value of the work of the splendid men and women who have guided the affairs of this Institution years ago, than of work being done now. We will have to leave the final estimate of this to those review the work of the Institution in the years to do know this, however, that the Institution is fi the present that cannot _ be done away with, It who will come, We ing a need at without serious consequences. is giving many young people their only chance, We believe that the field is more far reaching than ever be- fore. The work is not confined to the children in residence only, but to their families and to those other families that we are oo to hold together without the use of Orphanage care at all. We have a lot of things that reach beyond just child welfare, possibly family welfare would be the better word. We do this because we feel that it is right, and because we can with the same money reach a larger number, and in this L : and all of or endueavors we ask for your sympathetic help and tution have the good fortune to lose the manager by death dur-!

Germany’s 1930 wheat crop was onlv 131,000,- 000 bushels. This is 70,000,000 bus hels less than Kansas propuced this year. Yet, with this small crop, the Ger- man farmer was only receiving thirty- four cents a bushel for his wheat The GermanGovernment then placed a tar- iff of $1.62 a bushel on wheat. This immediately raised the price of wheat to $1.96 a bushel to the German farm- er. Germany does not produce a sur- plus and he tariff is immediately reflec ted in the price of her wheat. We con- tinue to grow a huge surp'us, which nobody wants, thereby destroying some of the benefits of ovr forty-two cent tariff. Why not take a lesson from Germany? — Maiden News.

Has any other ‘organization anything by compari- son? There is a reason. In addition, there are 16,000,000 children to fill the ranks. Is there any other society with a reserve force as mighty as that? The church spends $185,000,000 annually to benefit mankind. Does anything else do as much for human- ity? The number of churches comes within one-tenth of equaling the the same time, remember the for- mer is voluntary and the latter com- pulsory. Twenty cents of every church dol- lar is devoted to benevolence during norma! times, and the figure is much higher in times of stress. Has any other organization such a record? The church census shows Chris- tianity is more than holding its own. That cannot be said of any other or- angization—political, social or busi- help every man I meet to fight life’s battle with a braver heart. —F. W. Boreham, in the Watchman-Exam- iner.

Interesting Account of Iternary To Holy Land ee (Written by Miss Una Moore, Barium Infirmary Nurse, on Trip to Holy Land.) Athen, Greece, Aug. 15 Dear Mr. Edwards: It has been some time since I wrote you the first part of our trip. Since then we have been too busy to collect the important events as they came to us. Our visit to England covered most of the south™ ern part, leaving Plymouth we went by bus to London, over the most beautiful part of that little land. Cressing Devonshire and two other Shires we came thru Haniton where one differs from the others in loca- tion as it has a beautiful “close” cr | grounds about it. We had dinner that night at the Bonington hotel, London where every thing was served differently than at home. the London Tower seem- pleasure now, but i of jealousy, intrigue. bright spot were the sn Ory crown ewels and plate worth millions of dollars. On our way we stopped at the Old Curiosity Shop. . The Shop is the only thing to remind one of little Nell, the wares inside are found in all the stores. Later we found ourselves in West- minster Abbey. The Tombs of great men in every walk of life, some fa- mous, and others not. A few were of interest to, as Livingstone, the Unknown Soldier, Gladstone, and others who had done their duty well. Chapels called for Kings and Queens leaving queer stories of their lives and time. St. Pauls was not far away, and our first chapel was one built for Lord Kitchiner whe lest his life in| the last war by drowning when a ship went down. Over the tomb is his sta- | tue in marble with his uniform and | all his decorations on. The Duke of Wellington is buried here, also Benjamin West, the great American artist, and Christopber Wrenn, the architect of this famous building. Saturday seven of us left the party | for Paris. We had a pleasant trip | over as the sea was very quiet. Whiie | there we visited Josephin’s Palace and Gardens. The Palace of Versailes where the wonderful paintings and tapastries of Marie Antoinette are still to be seen. But what the Ameri- cans liked best was the table on which the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Another room showed France's vic- | tories and among the others was one showing a battle in which the French took part in the Revolutionary war. For miles on this trip we went down avenues where the trees met overhead. In the evening we visited the sa- cred Cover, beautiful for location on one of the highest hills of Paris. Leaving there we came to the real Paris streets, so narrow you could not find a walk you had the street to walk on. Tiny shops that not more than three could be in comfortably. The next day wsa filled with sight- seeing. Every street has an arch, a garden, or some piece of statuary to be seen in the distance. The Unknown Soldier is buried at the edge of the ‘Triumph Arch,’ and was covered with flowers. The Church of Magdeline had bean- tiful paintings as well as all the oth- er churches we visited. Napoleon’s Tomb is a very artistic one, made of marble from different places and carved into the most beau-| sa : | tiful designs. Above the windows are a mellow yellow and the glow of the sun is on it all day, no difference What the weather is. We visited the exhibitions which was very interesting. The big show Wwsa a copy of an old temple found in| S.am som rs ago. At night when the lig thrown on it it was a vis.on of beauty. I regret only part of an af- ternoon was spent in the Louvre. I once saw a copy of the Immaculate Conception in Detroit, and from then until I saw it was the dream that I might see the original. I had that pleasure of not only seeing it, but a number of others that every child knows. A short time at such a place | only grieves you when there is so much to see and so little time to see it. Notra Dame is near and I spent awhile here, where so lately France’s Great Warrior had been his last time. The next day we started home and every one of the party was sorry to leave such a hospitable city. After a very rough passage we arrived at Dieppe. Mr. Mace, a Y. M. C. A. man from Pittsburgh, ordered tea for us inthe train, for we were cold and wet from our return voyage. There ware ar seven of us and a nice ittle Irish priest in the compartment.

Near Oxford is Eaton where 1100 boys between the ages of 14 and 19 attend. The dress is like evening dress and they wear high hats. Can you imagine as rough and tumble boys scrap-dressed like that.

June 26 we went to Windsor Cas- | tle. The king and queen were not at. gins. home which made it impossible for us to get in. We did get in the beautiful Chapel of St. George where we saw a copy of Benjamin West’s Last Supper. Those of you who do not know where Stoke Poges is you wil! find it at one of the mest beautiful spots in England. Here is where Gray wrote his elogy on the tomb near the church door, and just beyond is the meadow, where “The cattle slowly wend their way.” Gray’s father and mother are bur- ied here, also Gray. Before Penn j became a Quaker he attended this church. Near here is Haddon Hall ‘Where Dorothy Vernon lived. The next day going thru a town we visited the Weekly fair. It is well | | worth seeing.

Later we came to Ban- bury where the “hot cross buns” tas- ted just as good as when they used to sing “Riddy Cock Horse to Ban- bury cross to see a young lady ride on a gray horse”’— Warwick Castle is near here and we visited a number of rooms, ecah havir grounds are very lovely, green everywhere. Sunday we went to church at St. Mary’s Cathedral. We felt it wrs good for the rector, he had a state job. I am sure if Mr. Brown preached like that he would not have a church job. In the afternoon we drove out to Kennilworth Castle, a mass of ruins | rich only in history and beautiful in ruins.

Some of us went to Davidson to the game Saturday with Elon. That nite we went to Statesville to see “Pardon Us.” All of us are fond of the manager because he always lets us in for ten cents and very often he invites us to come free. Since school started our Juniors have entertained the Seniors once, We think that is a very grand start for them, The Seniors are beginning to learn to use their dignity. Pretty soon we will be so small, Some of the Musicians on the first floor are progressing some.

BARIUM MESSENGER Published By Presbyterian Orphans’ Home F or The Information Of Its Friends Novem THANKSGIVING [)AY a chance to see any more. It is a good four-horse team pulling a heavy load over a difficult stretch of road, up a hill, or something like that. To see the way they all pull together and carry their load along is something beautiful. T HERE IS a picture that few of us living in 1931 have The picture can be easily marred, however, if one of the four horses should get too interested in the grass along the roadside or the leaves in the trees, and neglect the work of pulling; the wagon is apt to get crossways in the road and stall. If one of the four horses should deliberately balk, the case is hopeless. The other three can not possibly move the load. This picture somehow persists in presenting itself when we think of the Orphanage work at this time. The Orphanage in its human element is carried along by four groups of peo- ple. There are the children in the institution, that carry along a good part of the load. There are the workers in the Insti- tution that have their share to do. There is the governing beard appointed by Synod that have a large load to carry; and then, there is the organized Church that gives the financial support. This last group could be sub-divided into any number of different branches, but for the purpose of this article, we will call it one. Now when all four of these groups are pulling together, the load is carried on over the most difficult places, smoothly and evenly; but if any one of the four get too interested in other things, or if their attention is divided at these critical times, there is difficulty. We won't even discuss the possibility of any one of the four balking. That has not happened and we don’t think it will happen. The danger is from the grass and flowers and the other things that might attract along the roadside. During the last few months, we have had an opportunity to form an opinion as to how well each one of these groups is at present doing its job. We can speak in enthusiastic terms of the part played by the first two. There never has been a time in the history of our institution when there has been more wholehearted, intel- ligent, unselfish efforts on the part of the children in the Institution to do a werthwhile work toward carrying their load and minimizing expense. We can’t speak in too high terms of the staff of workers at the Institution. We do not think there is a more loyal, helpful body of people anywhere in the country. Teachers, matrons, heads of the departments, office force, and all other employees, even to the colored help, are absolutely loyal and devoted to the interests of this Institution. As to the third group, we have just had a meeting of the board of Regents. It was fully attended. The largest number came a day early to be thoroughly familiar with the various activities of the place; the meeting was not hurried, and the individual members show a willingness to go to any trouble to carry on out their responsibilties. We believe we can truthfully say that this third horse is doing its work, As to the fourth horse. We cannot speak with the same authority, but in our visits to the various churches, auxiliaries, and group meetings, we believe we can see an enthusiasm and determination that has not been present in some recent years. We hear talk here and there in business circles about the con- tinued depression and about the shortage of money and in- crease of unemployment, and other calamitous things, but find in the churches that we have visited, a heads-up, hope- ful attitude; coupled with a determination to not let the work fer our little ones suffer. There are many things to distract us. Not only the pleasures and comforts of life, but many worthwhile things. There is an extensive drive being made in our nation for the relief of unemployment, an emergency load that has been laid on this country at a time when it is apparently least able to carry it, or carry even the normal load and the public could hardly be blamed if in their desire to forward this most worthwhile and necessary form of relief, should neglect or forget the forms of relief that have been with them from year to year, like the Orphanage. Those of us who listened in on the Unemployment Relief program on Sunday night, November the first, must have been struck by the fact that when Mr. Owen D. Young spoke he used half of his time in urging the people of the United States not to neglect the established charities. He made this striking statement: “That if the people of the United States contributed however liberally to the relief of unemployment, and reduced in like measure their gifts to the established charities, that the present situation would not be relieved one whit; that what must be given for the relief of unemployment must be over and above our regular gifts to orphanages and other charitable institutions.” Mr. Young was not speaking for the orphanages. He was speaking for the Unemployment Relief, but he, recognized and pointed out a truth that everyone must recognize. Unem- ployment has increased the load carried by the orphanages. If anything should happen that the orphanages would have to re- duce the service that they are rendering, it would multiply the calls for service of the other forms of relief, both perman- ent and temporary. Let's all pull to gether, aot with our heads down in a de- jected, hopeless way, but with our heads up, with enthusiasm, with joy in the doing of the Lord’s will. We are not afraid. The evidence of God's blessings and care of us are too numerous and plain for us to doubt that His blessings will continue. We are working with Him in this work, in a partnership that brings joy and reward now. You ask what is neccesary? We need from the entire Synod for the Thanksgiving offering, $75,000.00. $60,000.00 will en- abie us to carry on. Anything below this will help, but we will ilmp. How much from the individual church? As a general rule, the amount of your budget for the Orphanage. It is usually understood that the 7!,% that is included in the benevolent budget of the church, will provide about half the revenue needed for the Orphanage. The other half is supposed to come from Thanksgiving. This will give a general idea of the amount to set as a goal for each individual church, For the family, a pretty safe estimate for the general run of families, is one day’s income. We are sure that if each family would use this as 4 yardstick, that the return would be adequate, When to send it? Just as soon as you have it. We are needing money so badly at this time, we have put off so many of our good friends who credit us that we want you to send your Thanksgiving offering in immmediately, after it is taken. Even if you have to send several times later with sup- plementary amounts. Remember that as long as the money stays in your bank, it can not help us here. Did you all get the signal? Let’s get out of the huddle and play ball! Barium Springs, North Carolina ber 1931 ~~ No. Two.

He is the baby of the home and we shall all love him a lot. Miss Carson came over to make her home with us.. Sept. 18: All of us were invited to the “Playhouse” in Statesvville to see “Pardon Us.” The 9th. grade girls witness the defeat of San ford at Winston. Sept. 22: A nice gift of bibs and picture books were sent to us today. | We enjoyed looking at the books very much. Sept. 28:Miss Carson had a visit from her friend, Miss Sadie Dale, from Tennessee. Everyone enjoyed hearing her play cn the piano. Sept. 29: Some kind friends sent us preserves and jelly. We certainly ap- preciate it. Mable Billings’ father came and took them for a ride. Oct. 2: More preserves and jelly, no wonder everyone a tour cottage is so sweet. Oct. 3: Myrtle Johnson was cer- tainly happy when she had a visit from her aunt from Hickory today. Oct. 4: We are very glad to have Being a monthly publication, it is mighty hard for the Barium Messen- ger to keep up with all the news items that might be suitable for a daily paper. There are certain out- standing things, however, that we have to mention. Statesville Playhouse invited us all in to see a dandy show. The Play- house has a way of knowing just exactly the kind of show that we will enjoy the most. The last show to which they invited us was “The Sidewalks of New York”, and we are laughing yet. Another thing our good friend Rev. R. H. Stone, away up in the moun- tains, invited us to send a truck up to get some apples. We did, and we not only brought back all that we could carry in that truck, but also an invitation to come back and get a second load. These two truck loads of apples have been very much enjoyed. Apples are the only crop that we did 10t raise enough to satisfy our appe- tite. Another event that took place in the immediate community that was most interesting to all of us, was the Fair at Troutman. A few citizens of Troutman, Mr. Kale and Mr. Neal, being the ring leaders, got it into their heads to stage a one-day fair in their thriving little town. Nobody seemed to think much of the project at first, but they kept on, with the result that we had a day of amaze- ment. There is no other word that quite fits, but that. Nobody would think that within a radius of ten miles, such a variety and abundance of things could be raised.

It is the standing of our Table of Receipts for this date last year. We are putting this in for purposes of comparison. We wish it were possible to reprint the comment on last year’s Table. We find a very big drop in the re- ceipts for a like period from Orange, Winston-Salem, Kings Mountain. Granville, and Fayetteville. A very slight decrease in Mecklenburg, Con- cord, Albemarle and Wilmington. In no single instance has there been any increase. We find that comparing the total that the amount received from the entire Synod is approximately ten cents per member less than for the period a year ago. This amounts in dollars and cents to approximately $7,500.00.

We have managed to re- duce our expenses somewhat over this period so that the real net amount that we are worse off at this time than we were last year in cur- rent support is a matter of about $4,000.00. This amount is large enough to be | serious, if nothing could be done jabout it. It is not so large that we need despair. | The Thanksgiving Season that is just around the corner can entirely | wipe out that deficit, and the deficit that we would have had, even had the receipts been as large as last year. If we grown people display +he same sort of spirit we see the young- er generations display on the football fields of today—Not to accept def at until the whistle blows; * * With that sperit you very seldom have to accept defeat when the whistle blows.| and remember only bad ones. a= — In And Around Barium 1A person might travel around over |the country and see a lot of hills }some gullies, and a little farming jland. He would never think that in |that territory he could produce the amazing variety of foodstuffs that showed up at that Fair. It was the finest cure for the blues that a per- son could have. We sometimes get into our heads that we are going to starve this winter, but after going to that fair, we know how foolish such a thought is. Why there was enough things to eat—just samples—to keep an ordinary community going for a week or more! And then, in addi- tion to these stationary booths, there was the livestock exhibit: Cows, sheep, hogs, chickens, turkeys, geese ducks, pheasants, rabbits, a nd even babies! We can hardly class them as livestock, and we certainly can’t class them as stationary. The exhibit of the babies was really so popular that an ordinary man could not get w.thin seeing distance of the bunch. The attendance was splendid, and this attendance was attracted in a different way from the usual meth- ods cf Fairs. There was no carnival, no ballyhoo of any kind. The only outside attraction was a football game between Troutman and Oak- hurst, and yet, there was no time during the day or night that the fair lasted that you could get park- ing space closer than a quarter of a mile to the school house. These Troutman people certainly had some- thing, and they had a way of letting | the secret leak out, to attract people to come and see. All glory to them! May it be repeated next year both bigger and better. CUUROEOEDODACEASEGEERESTEE TUCO Clothing Boxes Raleigh, First Church, Betty Pe- nick Phi Class, one box. Cleveland, Auxiliary, one box.

We are hoping to win) 3 | Scrimmage On October the second Barium had one of her big annual games. This was with Concord, and this year it was played at Concord. The day was beautiful, and a big crowd was out to see the game. Concerd had one of the best teams in years, and from the very beginning it was seen that the game was going to be close. Barium was better in line plays and some better on defence. Concord had a slight advantage on end runs and a very decided advantage on for- ward passes. The first quarter was _ scoreless, but in the second quarter, Sears got away for a nice run, placing the ball on the five yard line after which King carried over for a touchdown. The point after touchdown was com- plete by a pass from Pittman to Sears. The third quarter was _ scoreless, but Concord was constantly threat- ening to score by thcir passing at- tacks. Barium found difficulty in stopping them. It was only when they began ‘c get down toward Bar- ium’s goal line that this attack was | broken up. Late in the fourth quarter | Barium scored again. This score was ;made possible by Concord’s anxiety |to make a score; when they tried a pass on fourth down rather than re- sorting to a kick. The ball went over to Barium in Concord’s territory. By sev-ral plays Pittman put the ball on the one-yard line, after which King carried over a gain for the second touchdown. The point after touch- down was complete again Pittman to Sears. Less than a minute to play remain- ed when this touchdown was made, and nearly everybody thought the game was over. It was not over by a good deal. Barium kicked off to Con- cord, after one play time was called and with fifteen seconds to play on their thirty-five yard line, Concord executed a perfect pass, Verble to Dellinger which made it a touchdown- Dellinger took the pass.in fine shape, and with the help of his teammates doing a fine piece of blocking, he ran the rest of the way for a touchdown. The final score was 14-6, and everybody happy. On Saturday morning, Oct. our 115-pound Midgets average weig’ played Statesville Midgets. This game looked like it was going to be good at the start, but it was a team against individuals, and Far- ium won 35-0. In this game the back- field consisting of the two Blues, Fowler and Lyons performed splen- didly.’ The line also showed up well. Saturday afternoon, our little 100- pounders journeyed to foreign fields again, taking on the Mills Orphanage at Thomasville. The Mills Home de- feated us 18-0. And yet in spite of that ..ore, our little team showed a very decided improvement over the |previcus week. Our readers no doubt remember what we had to say about water- melons, peaches, cantaloupes and ice cream during the past summer. Well, those things are responsible for the poor showing of our 100-lb. ; team. The reason is that the veteran | 100-pounders that, no doubt, would | have still been on this team, just ate |so much this summer that when | time came to weigh up this fall, they 3rd., |this entire team around just two vet- | erans, and most of the boys are new ,at the game and very much below a ‘hundred pounds in weight. The aver- age weight of this team is about | eighty-five. However, they are full |of pep and are going to keep going , and keep digging until they finally | break into the “win” columns. On Friday, October the 9th, the big home game with Statesville took place. This was slated to be a big event, but there were so many con- were way over a hundred pounds, so! | could not qualify. So we had to build | flicting attractions that day that the crowd was disappointing. There was a big Legion Reception to Stevens in Charlotte. There was a big Air Show in Charlotte; there was a World Ser- ies, and then, there was a rain, which kept back the Statesville Band and to this extent marred the afternoon. However, the game was a splendid one. Barium was victorious by an ap- parently lop-sided score—z6 to 0. The game was interesting from the start to finish. While Statesville never really threatened, execept in the last few minutes of the game, the defensive work was fine, and _ the kicking of fullback Sherrill of States- ville was the best we have seen on our field in sometime. This game was featured by the beautiful blocking put up by Barium in all plays. Fin- ally resulting in a ninety-yard run by Sears in the latter part of the game. The scoring was: two touch- downs by Sears, one by Pittman, one by King. Oa Saturday morning, October the tenth, our 115-pound average team played a similar team from Mt. Airy There were several players on the Mt. Airy team that were far above the average of Midget teams, and it looked like they would make things hard for Barium. However, the team work that Barium teams are noted for was very much in evidence, and the final score was: Barium 32, Mt. Airy 0. There were many _ interesting plays in this game. One long beauti- ful pass, Blue to Potter. One an in- tercepted pass,, a pass made by Mt. Airy intercepted by Jim Johnston who ran for a touchdown from about mid-field. Later in the game, Mt. Airy’s punt was blocked, and Wilson Lowrance recovered the ball and ran for a touchdown. On Saturday afternoon, our little 100-pound team journeyed way down to Durham where they played a fif- teen minute game between the halves of the Duke-Villanova game, with a similar team from Oxford Orphan- age. This game was hotly contested, and would have no doubt ended in 2 tic, but for one play. Barium at- tempted a forward pass which was intercepted by Oxford’s little plung- ing fullback who managed to wiggle through for a touchdown on_ that play. The score was 7-0 in favor of Oxford. It looks like Oxford is head- ed for the Conference Championship in this weight. They have had three wins and no defeats, so far. gee ae. Flattery is most effective if given in small doses.

A small man, pushed his way to the front, found himself blocked by a large, portly woman. Peering around her and seeing the cream and milk on the pavement, he exclaimed “Heavens, what a waste.” The woman turned angrily and replied, “Mind your own business.” THE BRIDGE BUILDER “hard times to} AUTHOR UNKNOWN “An old man going a lone highway Came at the evening cold and gray To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Casting all his burdens aside, The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. ‘Old man,’ said a fellow pilgrim near, ‘You are wasting your time with your building here You never again will pass this way, Your journey will end with the closing day You have crossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at evening tide?’ The builder lifted his old gray head, ‘Good friend, in the way that I’ve come,’ he said ‘There followeth after me today, A youth whose feet must pass this way. This stream that has been as naught to me To the fair-hatired youth might a pitfall be, He, too, must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.’” —From the Atlantic Sportman ” le in a id n. d ie eo s = @ re /_ ee n \- Oo oe +7 @ ew e ee e eS ee — —_—e® November—1931. Vivid Picture of Holy Land Portrayed By Miss Una Moore, Who Visited Sacred Shrine During August We arrived lunch, which was a very nice one, se.ved in a glass enclosed dining room overlooking the Mediteranean Sea. The afternoon was spent in visit- ing the American College where we found many interesting people and things. This college was started in i866 and has produced very precious f.uit since—until now it is not only a first-class college, but has a fine | school of medicines and hospitals connected with it. We were person- | ally interested in “‘West Hall,” nam- ed for a minister’s son whose name w.ll never be forgotten in Pennsy!- vania. The son spent long years there and we had the pleasure of coming from Beirut to New York with his widow who war born in Damascus, the daughter of one of the early missionaries there. We were taken to Dog Rim River— not a very high sounding name, but one of the places that brought peace! to the “earth” by the marching arm-| ies of Rameses 3rd., Thatmes 3rd.,! Sennacharib, Alexander, Napoleon 1-| 111 and last, but for the good of the Holy Land, Allenby. I’m sorry I did not get the officers name, for} Allenby’s army came over another route. Each of these men left en- graved on the walls of the canyon his name or picture and sometimes both. | We climbed mountains toward Baalbek. It was a climb, you may know. On one high hill stood a town | of Leautiful homes of wealthy peo-| ple. The countries are so small ‘here and under different governments that you are juggled between French and English costumes all the time. A au- | to wreck was one of the changes to! modern times. The law there is a wreck must be photographed— but the law does not say when, so they had been there from 7:30 P. M. until the next day at 11:30—when we went by. Then looking to the southwest we | saw snowcapped Mt. Hermon. This! was our first sight of any place where Christ had been. On this Mount Moses, Elijah and Christ came and Peter, James, and John were their congregation. Baalhek, with her ancient ruins— came in sight and we thought of our old home, as we drove up to the “Palmyra Hotel.” Just beyond were the old Temples of 3000 B. C. col- umns—54 feet high and 7 feet in dia- meter. Carvings of beauty and art above the doors and capitals of col- umns. On the wall about the temple | is one stone 64x13x14 and weig!s | 850 tons, in the wall 48 feet above the ground. When Rome took the city they pre-, served the temple, but the Arabs and | Constantine did much _ destructioa, which was followed by an earthquake. | The marble for these 54 ft. colum1s was brought from Assuan, Africa some six hundred miles up the > and 600 miles from Baalhek—and is supposed to have taken 100,000 slaves to do the work. Winding up and down, across and thru’ valleys, mountains, hills, and fields for several hours, we came to a river beside which was growing a! kinds of tropical fruits; as we fol- lowed it along, we came in sight of the oldest city in the world—Damas- cus. It is harvest time and trains of camels are met along the road with the grain they have harvested. Our hotel was by the river and ean you think how it would feel to see the River Abana flowing by your window. We visited the wall that Paul was let thru’ the window, and, with a grain of salt the home of Ananias and Judas. Later visiting the brass factory, where all kinds of brass ar- ticles are made, another where _in- laid furniture and Turkish rugs. Each of these had the stamp of half- starved—uneducated men, women and children. The highest wages for 10 hours work brings 60 cents. The street called Straight is still there also a mosqque where the head of John the Baptist is (not.) Beautiful shawls and_ silks are made here and every shop is a copy of the other. I said to one of the la- dies, “all same Woolworth’— the answer came back in a flash, “in v- erything but price.” Early the next morning the cars came and we started for our next stop—which is the supposed place that the Lord met Saul on his way to Damascus. How near He was and what might have happened to them —and us if He had not met Him. We followed the Pharpar River for some time, a narrow’ stream, cone would not connect the word river with. Customs again and there we see the River of all Rivers, and we look at it as it flows along, what it means to the world. Going on we see the waters of Lake Galilee made famous in song and story by the many things done by in Beirut in time fcr afternoon sitting or walking by the lake, and had our dinner out in the yard overlooking it, as we looked across to the other side, we knew that Jesus had seen the same hills. Two towns are all there is on the lake. Magdela, where Mary Magda- lene lived and Libris. We called at | both places. The children who came to sell books and pictures or any- thing they could, spoke very good English and were so proud to show off. Just beyond were the Horns of Hotten, where it is said the sermons on the Mount was preached. Later we called at Cana, a great deal of the joy and sacredness of these places are taken away by everybody waiting | to sell you htings. You can not get out of their way. We only saw one place where the water was turned , to wine. You do not have time to see Christ on this lake. After lunch we rowed up the lake to Capernum.

We had a nice lunch at the hos- pice—co jxed ?y monks and wait- ed on by them. Everything was spot- less around the house. We were tak- en to the well where no doubt, Mary got Ler jars filled and told the neigh- bors about her wonderful son. The little boys still work in the carpen- ters shops, and smile as you go by. There is a Scotch Mission Hospita! | there where the sick are well cared for and get healing, not only for the body, but for the soul. We visited a Samaritan place of worship where they claim the law of | Moses 5787 years old is in a sheep’s | skin scroll. These few faithful feel they are the heart of religious wor- ship. We started again passing Mt. Gilbea and Tabor and came to the i of Jezreel, and to Dothan where Joseph was sold. Passing thru’ Sa-| maria we saw the city Samaria where it had been, and on to Schecem where | Joseph hoped to find his brethren be- | fore going to Dothan. Mt. Ebol and Gerizin, where the blessings and curses were read and not far away Joseph’s grave was| pointed out. j Coming down a long slope we came to Jacob’s well, one of the few places that one is really sure of. We lookcd | away to the village and could sce| how glad this sin-covered woman! must be to find some one to give wa- ter that she would not have to draw, “for the well is deep.” But as always with Christ the water was better than any had ever been before taken from the well. Beeroth is near where the inhabi- tants came after hearing of the tak- ing of Jericho, and Ai, and made al league with Joshua. | Ona distant hills places were point-| ed out where kings lived, reigned, | and died in disgrace. Old Roman roads can still be seen. Then thru’ the deep- ening dusk the lights of the Holy City the one place we longe dto see-— | twinkled ahead of us. Our busy moving was over for we would stay here, from where we would take our side trips until we started | home. | We were in the Fast Hotel, a first- class one, just outside the Jaffa Gate. It is hard to describe Jerusalem, one always looks at it frem the side of it being the Great City of our King. But now we will look at it as| it really is. The streets outside the! city wall are very good, and on each | side little shops of every descriptions, | much as the other cities we visited. | Everyone hops out of the store ask- | ing you to buy ond you are fortunate | if several are not there at the same! time. The streets are full of priests, the Catholics, Armenian Copts, Greek Cathclies, Russians, and Jews—Arabs in long robes and fez going every- where. The Jews have come from so many countries and each country a different dress, you are wondering who you will meet next. One class wore long coats, Jow wide-rimmed hats and a little curl on each side of his head. In the afternoon we visited the Mount of Olives. There does not seem to be any doubt about this place. High up beyond the city across the brook Kidron. A Russian church is on this hill and all about are olive orchards. As you go farther back you can see Bethany where Jesus Barium Springs, (N. C.) Messenger valley of Hinnon, and climbing up again we looked down on one side of David’s Tomb and the house of An- anius. On the way up my girth broke and I would have fallen off if the donkey boy had not been on his job. A man did fall off and was bryjs. ed up some.

It’s used in spelling cheerful things; it’s used in spelling Love. It’s used in spelling peaceful things, like Home and House and Dove. It’s used in words that stands for warmth, like Coal and also Hot. It’s used in words that stand for youth, like Young and Boy and Tot.

We ven’t been doing much for the last vy days. It rained a couple of days < so we thrashed some beans in our se barn, Although our peanuts have not been grubbed long, they dried out in ja few days and we thrashed them. | The total amount was about one hun- |dred and fifteen bushels. About {twenty bushels are being saved for jnext year’s planting. We are going to | plant eight acres of peanuts next | year instead of three acres, our crop | tor this year. | Ovr carpenter, Mr. Nesbit is fixing |the maddocks and axes so that we will have some good tools, with which to clear out our new grounds. Picking peas has been a regular job for the farm boys lately. We have nearly all of them in now and we be thrash them pretty soon. Since fall is near, wheat planting has started. There will be more wheat this year hor us than last year be,- cause we will plant some down at Mr. Joe Clark’s place, along with the oth- er big fields. Our largest wheat field is thirty-five acres. So far we have had a successful foot-ball season this year, with the exception of the 100 lb. team. We beat Statesville, our outstanding op- ponent, 26-0. No one has scored on our field yet and we are trying to hold the good record. Since some of our soil is not very rich, we are going to put fertilizer and lime on it to fertilize the wheat and barley. | It is nearly time to shred our corn. We have enough corn to keep our |mules and hogs fed for a long time | We usually get a few carloads of corn | from the McDonald farm, which helps us out a good bit. All of our water-mellons are now gone so we have to rely on our pear and apple orchard. Our apple orchard is nearly bare, but we still have a great many pears left. Some of our good mountain friends sent us a truck loal of apples. They certainly do ' ,;come in handy too. They are going | to send us two more truck loads dur- jing the fall. I am sure that the whole | Orphanage thanks them. —JOE KEENAN OLD BARIUM BOY COMES BACK | Mr. Rowland Ferguson and nephew, n of Charlotte, were recent visitors to |the campus.

The Orphanage Red Devils traveled to the World War Stadium, Greens- boro, Oct. 15, and took a defeat at hands of the strong Barium Springs team, 14-0. The Red Devils bucked up time after time to save their goal line, but Barium outkicked and gained moer yardage than the Red Devils. Capt. King did some fine kicking, one be- hind his own goal line to his own 47 yard line. Pittman and Sears were the big gainers fck Barium, while Frazier and Bostic gained most yardage for the Orphanage. The Barium line played a smash- |ing game, while Purdy Barium Cen- ter, was outstanding. The Devils, sec- ondary defense did most of the tack- ling. Capt. Sedberry, tackle and Hen- drix showed best in the line.

The Black Demons hung up nine first downs and the majority of them came from completed forward passes. Sears and Pittman, Barium backs, | were thorns in ‘the Winston-Salem | defense, piercing the line time and time again for gains. Both played be- hind a line that put up a beautiful Wimbish and Holton were the lo- cal stars. Wimbish, a substitute for Sneed, was the only local back able to make any gains through the visi- tors’ line. He snagged several passes from Holton to make it first down. Holton ran the team in excellent fashion and made the longest run of the afternoon when he caught a for- ward pass and raced thirty yards, but was pulled down on the ten-yard line by Sears and a couple of others. Holton retired from the game after the run, being injured when tackled. Both teams threatened several times, but neither had the punch to put the ball over the goal line.

The Senior Christian Endavor had a party and some of our girls went to it. We are locking forward to Home Coming Day next Saturday Nov 21. when we expect a lot of our old stu- dents to come home and see the game of football between Belmont Abbey and cur varsity team. Our boys have been doing some good playing this year and our field is mighty fine. We are trying not to let any other team score on our field this year. Well we wrote our Santa Claus letters last week and are still thrilled over it. The first thing we know Ch:istmas will be here. Then mid- term exams which means somebody needs to do some hard work about that time. We had some fine speakers with us during the week of prayer for Home Missions and would be glad to have eacl{ one come back and talk to us again Mrs. Hill has been giving prizes for the best kept rooms each month and three rooms tied last month and what do you suppose she did? Put a cocoanut cake on the table in the guest room and sent the girls in there to see what they could do with it. Laurinburg, McLaurin and States- ville were the lucky rooms and they had a pretty good time while it last- od. Some ladies came from Gastonia today to make us a visit and seemed to be pleased with our place. A lot of us girls are making bou- doir pillows, trying to get ready for Christmas—so if you have any cotton scraps that you do not need this is the place to send them, and we prom- ise to make good use of them. Look in that scrap bag before you forget it. Bet you have a lot of them waii- ing for some one to use. —P. 0.

They were much heavier than Barium, but were handicapped from having played a game the day before with Reidsville. Barium was somewhat handicapped in trying to play the game without showing too much to the Belmont Abbey scouts who were here early ind numerous. Pittman and Sears tarted the game, but were substi- tuted for after the second play. In the fi:st play, Sears made fifteen yi the second play Pittman made en; and then they took a rest. Han- non performed beautifully for Bar- ‘um, carrying the ball over for two touchdowns during the game. Lester King completed beth points after. The first one by a drop kick, the se- cond one by a line buck. Cumbie played in the backfield. Joe Johnston did the kicking. Altogether, it was in interesting game, and after the Belmont Abbey folks left, with six minutes still to play, the coach sent in Sears and Pittman, and the team ards; the ball on the ten-yard line The final whistle, however, stopped this touchdown being made good BELMONT ABBEY BARIUM GAME SCORELESS TIE The next game of the varsity was the big final Belmont Abbey game.

Barium clearly outplayed Belmont Abbey in the second _ half. the goal, hold for downs, and Bel- it up again a little bit faster, but the same thing would happen again; the final time when it looked like it was going to be a score, the team was just too late, and the final score was another tie—0 to 0.

Bar- ium’s record was :. little bit better than High Point’s, but the day this game took place, High Point was having one of her good days, and the game ended ir a scoreless tie.

An- oher one got his jaw-bcfie broken playing football over at Newton. He is doing nicely, only he can’t talk much nor eat much. The doctor said he would be able to eat Christmas dinner.

We are always of a hopeful sort of disposition and usually say: “The early returns seem to be encouraging.” We do not know whether this will apply this year er not. We are comparing this table with the table cf one year ago, and«we find that duning November we received on regu- ‘ar contributions, $4,037.00 against $2,409.00 this year. A re- duction this year of about $1,600- 00. The Thanksgiving offerings received at this date last year were $5,229.00 as against $4,421- -00—$800.00 less this year, and there has been one more day since Thanksgiving this year to account for than last. Thanks- giving Day was one day earlier this year. Still, with all of that, we are not discouraged. We believe that the re- turns this year are going to be bet- ter than last, and that people are just holding back the Thanksgiving offering until more is paid in, before sending us the check.

We have actually receiv- ed practically thirty-five cents per member; or just a little over one- third the amount necessary to run the Institution these eight months. Only one Presbytery has past the half-way mark. Two have not quite reached the quarter. We do not believe any comment is necessary. Everyone who reads this knows where they live; they know which church they belong to; and if you do not know’ which Presbytery that church belongs to they can easily find out. The reason your Presbytery stands where it does in this table is not on account of the building, or the geography, or the location, but on account of the individual members of each church of each resbytery,an d that brings it down to each of us.

JUST TOO LATE There are a number of people who belong to the class of “just-too- laters.” They are intelligent, well; meaning persons, who are victums of the habit which leads men to be very often just a little too late te do what they ought to do and fully intended to do. They get to the station just thirty seconds after the train has gone; they reach the wharf just in time to wave good-by to the boat they intended to take; they are just a day or two late in planting, just a trifle late in harvesting, just a day behind in filling orders,, just an hour too late in applying for a situation, just a little too late to seize opportunities, a fraction behind in the effort to make good. Sometimes this means discomfort and worry to others, as when a man notifies his wife that he is bringing visitors to dinner just two hours after he had decided on it; no wonder the wife of such a man gets gray years ahead of the age Schedule.| Sometimes it means heavy loss in dollars and cents, as when a young man decides to study Spanish a year too late to accept a coveted position Bequest) CUCEUDOEASUUSSOGNEUREUIEESGRESOUOSEGELERSSSEON28008 | | Alexander - Dairy | WHAT HAVE I DONE Everybody is talking about the why of this depression and there are note, “I am not to blame, the other fellow did it.” That is the easy way to answer all questions, but do you not consider that the seriousness of the the matter a bit more frankly? Instead of trying to excuse our- selves and blame the other fellow, who is doing the same thing, would it not be more proper if we were to humble ourselves before God and ask him, “What have I done?” The causes are too numerous to mention of or confine our argument to the physical, but it is being borne in upon many of us that this is not so much a question of man’s dealing with man, as most seem to think, but of God dealing with man. If this is the true solution of the vexing problem, let us in all sincerety ask ourselves, “Is God punishing us and why?” To me the answer is very plain: in our prosperity of a few years back we did not give God that love and faith and the share of our prosperity that duly was His; we plumed our- selves on our successes in making money, we wasted where we should have saved and we gave Him dimes, where should have given Him dollars; how woefully we have failed Him, the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Is it not just that we should be punished, so that we may be persuad- ed te repent and do justly by Him in the days that lie ahead? —Little People —P. 0.

H.— True Rest | ' Alexander CottageNov. 17—We are | all excited over the game Saturday | with Belmont Abbey. They have a| good team this year but we are ready | for them. We are having the game on Saturday to draw a big gate. Every body here is going to be there and| have his cousin with him. We expect! the biggest crowd of the season. We hope to have the victory. And a hard | game also. Rabbits are coming fast so far.| Ralph Spencer and Carson Woods | have caught the most so far this season. But this is just the beginning | where Spanish is a necessity. Sometimes this blameworthy tardi- | ness makes all the difference be-/ tween success and failure in life. The difficulty seems due to two things, lack of foresight and the pos- session of too great inetia. When God puts a head on the human being he intends it for use, rather than orna- ment, and the man who will not use| his head must be prepared to fall be- hind in the race. We can to a certain extent foresee the future, and we must do so if we are to be prepared for it. But foresight is useless unless we have energy enough to initiate! our own action. We must be self- starters. The man who never acts without prodding will often act too late. Early in life we need to train ourselves to swift decision, otherwise we are fairly certain to drop into the class of th “just-too-laters”.—On- ward. —P. 0.

Our boys came back from Barium Springs last week-end in good spirits even though they had lost the game of football played between the twe teams. The game was a hard fought one and no alibies were offered. No alibi is needed by a team that is de- feated by Barium Springs. The Ba- rium Springs boys knows other things than how to play football. They know how to play a fair game and how to treat a visiting team. Those boys won something a great deal more important than a football of the season. ° Our cows are giving more milk | now.

All of the varsity games were writ- ten up, except the big game with the Presbyterian Junior College, on October 30th. This was one of our big games. It so happened that the coaches gave both the Davidson Varsity and Fresh- man squads a holiday, and the ma- jority of these players with their coaches came up to see the game. The afternoon was beautiful, and the game was most interesting. The Pres- byterian Junior College with much the heavier team, started off with a powerful looking offensive. They completed a long forward pass, and several good gains, before Barium seemed to be able to check them. A long pass which was completed but which was fumbled and the fumble recovered by Barium was the first chance that Barium had to start on the offensive. Nevertheless all during the first quarter, Barium played a defensive game kicking on second jor third downs. In the second quar- jter, Presbyterian fumbled a punt on 'their 12-yard line, and Barium drove {down to the i-yard line where the |ball went over on downs. The Pres- byterians kicked a short kick on first downs which was recovered by Bar- ium on the twenty yard line. A drive |from this point resulting in a touch- | , |}down. A few minutes later, another fall, with a fragile birch tree bend-| toychdown was put over, and that ing over the foam; at the fork o was all for that half; but in the se- the branch, almost wet with the| cond half, Barium really commenced cataract’s spray, a robin sat on its nest. The first was only “Stagnation;” the last was “Rest.” * * Christ’s life outwardiy was one of the most troubled lives that was ever lived; | tempest and tumult, tumult and tem- pest, the waves breaking over it all the time till the worn body was laid in the grave. But the inner life was a sea of glass. The great calm was always there. At any moment you might have gone to him and found rest. And even when his enemies were dogging him in the streets of Jeru- salem, he turned to his disciples and offered them, as a last legacy, “My peace.” —-Henry Drummond. —P. 0.

H— to click, and the final score was 33- 0. This score sounds like a walk- over, but Presbyterian did not quit fighting and in the last few minutes of the game, staged a drive that al- most resulted in a score. Barium’s supporters were badly frightened for fear that uncrossed goal line was go- ing to have it happen to it then. Taking up the Midget games, back on the morning of Oct. 17th, two teams from the Methodist Orphanage of Winston came down, and staged a double-header with our 100, and 125- pound teams on the morning just be- fore the Duke-Davidson game. In both of these games, both teams were so intent on keeping the other from scoring that they did not develop enough punch to put over a score themselves. Both games resulted in scoreless ties. There was some bril- liant playing in both games. Winston- Salem was superior in the 100-pounds with Barium slightly superior in the 125-pounds.After this experience, the two teams took dinner with us and }then went down to enjoy seeing the | Davidson-Duke fracas. The Winston Methodist coach is Bill Murray who Re the big threat on Duke last year. It seems that this Methodist-Presby- !terian encounter caught the habit 'from the smaller games in the morn- ing, and it resulted in a scoreless tie, also. Nobody knows yet, which is the best—Presbyterian or Methodist. | On the morning of the 23rd, our ;100-pound team played a return game with the Winston Methodists in Win- ston, and were defeated 7-0. \ On the morning of the 31st, we again had a double-header at Barium. | | This time our 100-pound team played a similar team from the Mills Home.! This was a hard fought contest but | the Mills Home defeated Barium 7-0.| | We want to comment on the excel-} lence of the 100-pound teams in the | Orphanage Conference. It is not that Barium has such a weak team this year, but that the other three Or- jhanages had such excellent teams in (the 100-pound class. Oxford so far! has the best record with no defeats. But there is mighty little to choose between the Oxford, Mills Home and) ; the Winston Methodist Home, in the! played by both teams. Cr. the following Tuesday, our 115-pound team journeyed to David- son and played the Davidson High School Midgets. This was one of the losest games that our team has had this year. The final score being Barium 6, Davidson 0. On Saturday morning, November the seventh, the Charlotte Cubs, the 115-pound average class, journeyed to Barium and were defeated again by the same score as a game played earlier in the season—13-0, Never the less, this team from Charlotte showed remarkable im- provement over the first game. Marvin Ritch is now coaching them, and they are planning to give the other teams in this Conference some trouble. On November the fifth, we had a most interesting varsity game between Barium and Mills Home of Thomasville. The Mills Home is the largest Orphanage in North Carolina. They get out good teams in all their sports. They weigh practically the same thing that Barium weighs. They have the same determination to win that Barium has. and they threw the biggest scare into the home team that has been thrown into them this year. The first half was clearly the Mills Home's. They made more first downs; they advanced the ball more; they completed more passes; they got more yardage on kicks; and they intercepted Barium’s efforts at pass- ing. It looked like either a tie game or a victory for Mills Home, unless there was a big change. The second half, however, Barium began to elick, fretting the ball in Mills Home territory, they started a drive which finally resulted in a touchdown, King carried the ball over. Before the dust had settled on that, Pittman threw a pass from midfield to Albert Cumbie who carried the ball to the one yard line before being downed. Sears carried the ball over from this point for the second touchdown. Later on in that same period, Pitman made several nice runs, carried the ball to the one yord line again, and Joe Johnston carried this one over for a touchdown. All points after touchdowns were completed. Just to prove that they were not whipped, this fighting bunch of Bap- tists started a drive in the last few minutes of the game that came near- er than any team yet of putting over a touchdown. It was a second down, five yards to go for the goal; when the Quarterback elected to pass. The pass was beautifully executed, but the receiver was just too anxious and dropped the ball, and it was Barium’ ball on the 20-yard line, and tha danger was over, We want everybody to keep this in mind: There never has been a dull game between the Mills Home and Barium Springs, and from indications this year, there never will be. Re- member this, and when the schedule is published next year, make your re- servations early. It is going ‘to be a good game. It will be in Thomas- Viile, 8 + v =P, GO) ica JUST AS FINE AS THE PLAYING From Charity and Children, The team of one hundred pound boys from the Children’s Home, Win- ston-Salem, played Mills Home one hundred pounders to a 0-0 tie Satur- day morning. Each team _ tried its best to score but the other said no. As the custom is members of the var- sity team officiated. These high school students have done the best of- ficiating we have seen this season. We have not heard of an unfair de- cision having been made by a single set.

Miss Moore Writes Of V ity Of Jerusalen In isit Barium Infirmary Nurse Who Spent Past Summer In Iloly Land Will Conclude Account Of Trip Next Month. At Sea— In my last letter side of Jerusalem and seen the walls. We are starting now inside and have already described David Street which we leave go to the Holy Scpulchre. This Church is supposed to be on the sight of Golgotha and was first built by Constantine and his mother Helena. The Church was twice burned and from a Christian charch became the place of many faiths. There are about 62 places of interest to be seen but we felt we had seen enough when we visitd the three Greek Chapels. St. James, Mary Magdaline, the For- ty Myrters, the Mission Bell Tower of Abiaham, the Armenian Chapel of St. James, a Coptic Chapel, another Greek Chapel of St. Mary, an Egyp- tian Chapel, which is above the La- to tin Chapel of the Agony of the Vir-/ gin and a Moslem Mosque. The stone of unction where Christ’s body laid has a candle at each end and over head a number of beautiful lamps. A fissure in a rock is said to be the place where Christ’s blood flowed ' through and falling on Adams skull brought him to life. Close here is where the Greek Or-| thedox Church gives out the Fire at Easter time. All who receives it becomes well | and those in trouble are freed from it. The crowd at such times of all! sects numbct thousands and those who can sit in the gallery pay for the privilege of watching, “A worse thing come upon them” as they fight their the crowd to get the way through Fire. This is the place in Jerusalem where much trouble arises as one steps over anothers domain is the cause of the police being called in many times. The windows are among the gems of rare windows we saw every where some have been taken out and the British Government has offered $1, 000,000 for three of those that re- main in the Church. A Miss Schicks is still living in Jerusalem since her father’s death, and for a memorial for him his plans for the temple he worekd out after many years of hard work and study. The tabernacle Solomon's tem- ple the one built by Jerubbabel and Hered’s. The porches and courts ex- plains many things that had never been clear to us before. We spent a pleasant morning with her looking at the plans and the changes that have been made in the three temples. The one sacred spot in Jerusalem alike to Christian, Jew and Moslem is the temple area, This area contains about 17 acres and _ has since Abraham entered Palestine, made history for the world. It is called by every one today except the Mosiem the Temple Area, but the Moslem calls it al-Harem, al-Sharif, and means “The August Sanctuary”. Beginning at the northwest corner we had a fine view of the wohle place inclosed in a wall. The east wall has the double portals of the Golden Gate. This is the gate Christ came through as He rode into Jerusalem on His triumphal] entry into the city. It is also the gate that the Moslems say will end their reign inthe Holy Land if it is opened, the Moslems having sealed it up long years ago When Caliph Omar occupied Jerusa- lem he came, first to this place, as it is said to be the place the Prophet Mohammed with his steed was mira- culously translated. We were not told whether that was the ending of the horseback-riding or not or why the tourist has the donkey and camel for their journeys on sight-seeing days. When Caliph Omar came he found the place a rubbish heap, the ruins of 70 A. D. were still there, he at once had a mosque built there and tho it has been destroped and the mosque of ‘the Dome of the Rock” has been built the name Omar still clings to it. The Crusaders took this mosque in 1099, turned the mosque into a church and considered it the Temple of the Lord and here _ the} Knight Templars order was formed.! In 1187 The Moslems regained pos- session. Everything Christian was removed and where that was not possible as on the walls, they were covered with tiles. The Dome of the Rock stands about 12 feet higher than the area and is reached on each side by flights of broad steps and at the landing a beautiful arcade. It is octagon in shape and has entrances, each one having a name. Bab al-Qible on the south is much used as that is toward Mecea. The lower part is finished with marble and the upper part with beau- tiful glazed tile, the frieze above is part of the Koran. Above all is the dome rebuilt in 1022 and is surmount- ed by the crescent. The inisde, like many of the buildings of the east, was dark, but as you watched the reflections of light that did come in on the beautifully veined marble carved by a master’s hand you real- 4 we had been out} i crificial blood flowed to a cav j he \if ized that when you were told it was the nd beanttfe] by'ldine au mi FUN cul veneve ihe second most wre Wee il. — ---——————_——*—", Beautiful Humility The greatest character in all hu- man history—Jesus Christ—per-- formed mircles and stayed humble. There is no evidence in the New Testament ef one boastful word that he ever uttered. Without look- ing it up, I think I may safely set it down here that the miracle of | yesterday was, with him, a closed incident. He never brought it up as a topic of conversation, and he never referred to it as a proof of his own greatness. Conscious of his divinity, he stayed human and humble and set a lasting example for all men of all times. —Edgar A.

Every day the water! carriers come with their goat-skin! bottles or their Standard Oil cans and fill them to take thru the city to sell. | Some had donkeys to carry the load from house to house, but many of them carried theirs on their backs. Still going south is another mosque made of a collection that came from other places, and some of the re- mains of the Christian church in the days of the Crusaders. This was the only mosque we had visited that had place for ocr women were allowed to enter. Saint Ann’s is a church a north and east of the temple area and close to the sheep gate. We saw places where traditions says much about the Virgin Mary and we were shown places where she wept and ived some of her life, but the stories seemed but idle tales. But passing nto a small courtyard you come to the pool of Bethesda. There is no loubt about the pool as the four porches around the sides and one di- viding it across the middle leaves no doubt that it is the true pool. You go lown about 30 feet to get to it now and for those who do not care to go down there are gratings for one to look thru. As you pass into the in- losure you read, if you are able, the information about the pool in eighty on little different languages. Later we came to the Tower of David which is now a museum of very interesting things, and you feel very ancient as you stand on the drawbridge looking down on the moat thirty feet below and think of the history that it has helped to make. Every place is known by the word quarters and this is the day for the Armenian quarters.

JUST TOO LATE There are a number of people who: belong to the class of “just-too- laters.” They are intelligent, well, meaning persons, who are victums of the habit which leads men to be very often just a little too late to do what they ought to do and fully intended to do. They get te the station just thirty seconds after the train has gone; they reach the wharf just in time to wave good-by to the boat they intended to take; they are just a day or two late in planting, just a trifle late in harvesting, just a day behind in fillimg orders,, just an hour too late in applying for a situation, just a little too late to seize opportunities, a fraction behind in the effort to make good. Sometimes this means discomfort and worry to others, as when a man| notifies his wife that he is bringing visitors to dinner just two hours after he had decided on it; no wonder the wife of such a man gets gray years ahead of the age Schedule. Sometimes it means heavy loss in dollars and cents, as when a young man decides to study Spanish a year too late to accept a coveted position} season.

We are getting one hundred! The difficulty seems due to two things, lack of foresight and the pos- session of too great inetia. When God puts a head on the human being he intends it for use, rather than orna- ment, and the man who will not use his head must be prepared to fall be- hind in the race. We can to a certain extent foresee the future, and we must do so if we are to be prepared for it. But foresight is useless unless | we have energy enough to initiate | our own action. We must be self- starters. The man who never acts without prodding will often act too late. Early in life we need to train ourselves to swift decision, otherwise we are fairly certain to drop into the class of the “just-too-laters’.—On- ward. —P. 0.

Our boys came back from Barium Springs last week-end in good spirits even though they had lost the game of football played between the two teams. The game was a hard fought one and no alibies were offered. No alibi is needed by a team that is de- feated by Barium Springs. The Ba- rium Springs boys knows other things than how to play football. They know how to play a fair game and how to treat a visiting team. Those boys won something a great deal more important than a football “Oh, no!” said the angel piercing me through, MUETEROELEUADOUADGAEAEAYOLEHEESSUUOEUEEHTINMEAAED «Fut give till the Master stops giv- Alexander - Dairy ing to you.” ; —Selected CUNT —P. 0.

All of the varsity games were writ- ten up, except the big game with the Presbyterian Junior College, on October 30th. This was one of our big games. It so happened that the coaches gave both the Davidson Varsity and Fresh- man squads a holiday, and the ma- jority of these players with their coaches came up to see the game. The afternoon was beautiful, and the game was most interesting. The Pres- byterian Junior College with much the heavier team, started off with a powerful looking offensive. They completed a long forward pass, and several good gains, before Barium seemed to be able to check them. A long pass which was completed but which was fumbled and the fumble recovered by Barium was the first chance that Barium had to start on the offensive. Nevertheless al! during the first quarter, Barium played a defensive game kicking on second jor third downs. In the second quar- jter, Presbyterian fumbled a punt on their 12-yard line, and Barium drove down to the 1l-yard line where the |ball went over on downs. The Pres- byterians kicked a short kick on first downs which was recovered by Bar- ium on the twenty yard line. A drive from this point resulting in a touch- down. A few minutes later, another touchdown was put over, and that was all for that half; but in the se- cond half, Barium really commenced to click, and the final score was 33- 0. This score sounds like a walk- over, but Presbyterian did not quit fighting and in the last few minutes of the game, staged a drive that al- most resulted in a score. Barium’s supporters were badly frightened for fear that uncrossed goal line was go- ing to have it happen to it then. Taking up the Midget games, back on the morning of Oct. 17th, two teams from the Methodist Orphanage of Winston came down, and staged a double-header with our 100, and 125- pound teams on the morning just be- fore the Duke-Davidson game. In both of these games, both teams were so intent on keeping the other from scoring that they did not develop enough punch to put over a score themselves. Both games resulted in scoreless ties. There was some bril- liant playing in both games. Winston- Salem was superior in the 100-pounds with Barium slightly superior in the 125-pounds.After this experience, the two teams took dinner with us and then went down to enjoy seeing the Davidson-Duke fracas. The Winston Methodist coach is Bill Murray who was the big threat on Duke last year. |It seems that this Methodist-Presby- {terian encounter caught the habit !from the smaller games in the morn- ing, and it resulted in a scoreless tie, also. Nobody knows yet, which is the best—Presbyterian or Methodist. {| On the morning of the 23rd, our 100-pound team played a return game with the Winston Methodists in Win- ston, and were defeated 7-0. | On the morning of the 31st, we again had a double-header at Barium. This time our 100-pound team played a similar team from the Mills Home. This was a hard fought contest but |the Mills Home defeated Barium 7-0. i; We want to comment on the excel- lence of the 100-pound teams in the | Orphanage Conference. It is not that Barium has such a weak team this year, but that the other three Or- hanages had such excellent teams in ,the 100-pound class. Oxford so far has the best record with no defeats. But there is mighty little to choose between the Oxford, Mills Home and played by both teams. Cr. the following Tuesday, our 115-pound team journeyed to David- son and played the Davidson High School Midgets. This was one of the losest games that our team has had this year. The final score being Barium 6, Davidson 0. On Saturday morning, November the seventh, the Charlotte Cubs, the 115-pound average class, jourjeyed to Barium and were defeated again by the same score as a me played earlier in the season -0. Never the less, this team from Charlotte showed remarkable im- provement over the first game. Marvin Ritch is now coaching them, and they are planning to give the other teams in this Conference some trouble. On November the fifth, we had a most interesting varsity game between Barium and Mills Home of Thomasville. The Mills Home is the largest Orphanage in North Carolina. They get out good teams in all their sports. They weigh practically the same thing that Barium weighs. They have the same determination to win that Barium has. and they threw the biggest scare into the home team that has been thrown into them this j year, The first half was cleaily the ‘Mills Home’s. They made more first downs; they advanced the ball more; they completed more passes; they got more yardage on kicks; and they intercepted Barium’s efforts at pass- ing. It looked like either a tie game or a victory for Mills Home, unless there was a big change. The second half, however, Barium began to click, fretting the ball in Mills Home territory, they started a drive which finally resuited in a touchdown, King carried the ball over. Before the dust had settled on that, Pittman threw a pass from midfield to Albert Cumbie who carried the ball to the one yard line before being downed. Sears carried the ball over from this point for the second touchdown. Later on in that same period, Pitman made several nice runs, carried the ball to the one yord line again, and Joe Johnston carried this me over for a touchdown. All points after touchdowns were completed. Just to prove that they were not whipped, this fighting bunch of Bap- tists started a drive in the last few minutes of the game that came near- er than any team yet of putting over a touchdown. It was a second down, five yards to go for the goal; when the Quarterback elected to pass. The pass was beautifully executed, but the receiver was just too anxious and dropped the ball, and it was Barium’s ball on the 20-yard line, and that danger was over, We want everybody to keep this in mind: There never has been a dull game between the Mills Home and Barium Springs, and from indications this year, there never will be. Re- member this, and when the schedule is published next year, make your re- servations early. It is going to be a — game. It will be in Thomas- ville. cm . oP. 0, H.— JUST AS FINE AS THE PLAYING From Charity and Children.

Miss Moore In sore Writes Of Visit! ity Of Jerusalem Barium lofirmary Nurse Who Spent Past Summer In Holy Land Will Conclude Account Of Trip Next Month. At Sea In my last letter we had been out} side of Jerusalem and seen the walls. We are starting now inside and have already described David Street which we leave to go to the Holy Scpulchre, This Church is supposed to be on} the sight of Golgotha and was first built by Constantine and his mother Helena. The Church was twice burned and from a Christian charch became the place of many faiths. There are about 62 places of interest to be seen but we felt we had seen enough when we visitd the three Greek Chapels. . James, Mary Magdaline, the For- ty of dames, a Coptic Chapel, another eek Chapel of St. Mary, an Egyp- tian Chapel, which is above the La- tin Chapel of the Agony of the Vir- gin and a Moslem Mosque, The stone of unction where Christ's body laid has a candle at each end and over head a number of beautiful lamps. A fissure in a rock said to be the place where Christ’s blood flowed through and falling on Adams skull brought him to life. Close here is where the Greek Or- thodox Church gives out the Holy lire at Easter time. All who receives it becomes well 1s and those in trouble are freed from! , it. The crowd at such times of all sects numbct thousands and those who can sit in the gallery pay for the privilege of watching, “A worse thing come upon them” as they fight their way through the crowd to get the Fire. This Jerusalem where much trouble arises as one steps over anothers domain is the cause of the police being called in many times. The windows are among the gems of rare windows we saw every where the place in is some have been taken out and the British Government has offered $i, 000,000 for three of those that re- main in the Church. A Miss Schicks is still living in Jerusalem since her father’s death, and for a memorial for him his plans for the temple he worekd out after many years of hard work and study. The tabernacle Solomon’s tem- ple the ene built by Jerubbabel and Hered’s. The porches and courts ex- plains many things that had never been clear to us before. We spent a pleasant morning with her looking at the plans and the changes that have been made in the three temples. The one sacred spot in Jerusalem alike to Christian, Jew and Moslem is the temple area, This area contains about 17 acres and has since Abraham’ entered Palestine, made history for the world. It is called by every one today except the Moslem the Temple Area, but the Moslem calls it al-Harem, al-Sharif, and means “The August Sanctuary”. Beginning at the northwest corner we had a fine view of the wohle place inclosed in a wall. The east wall has the double portals of the Golden Gate. This is the gate Christ came through as He rode into Jerusalem on His triumphal entry into the city. It is also the gate that the Moslems say will end their reign inthe Holy Land if it is opened, the Moslems having sealed it up long years ago When Caliph Omar occupied Jerusa- lem he came, first to this place, as it is said to be the place the Prophet Mohammed with his steed was mira- culously translated. Ve were not told whether that was the ending of the horseback-riding or not or why the tourist has the donkey and camel for their journeys on sight-seeing days. When Caliph Omar came he found the place a rubbish heap, the ruins of 70 A. D. were still there, he at once had a mosque built there and tho it has been destroped and the mosque of ‘the Dome of the Rock” has been built the name Omar still gi clings to it. The Crusaders took this mosque in 1099, turned the mosque into a church and considered it the Temple of the Lord and here’ the Knight Templars order was formed. In 1187 The Moslems regained pos- session. Everything Christian was removed and where that was not possible as on the walls, they were covered with tiles. The Dome of the Rock stands about 12 feet higher than the area and is reached on each side by flights of broad steps and at the landing a beautiful arcade. It is octagon in shape and has 4 entrances, each one having a name. Bab al-Qible on the south is much used as that is toward Mecca. The lower part is finished with marble and the upper part with beau- tiful glazed tile, the frieze above is part of the Koran. Above all is the dome rebuilt in 1022 and is surmount- ed by the crescent. The inisde, like many of the buildings of the east, was dark, but as you watched the reflections of light that did come in on the beautifully veined marble carved by a master’s hand you real- ized that when you were told it was the beant fe) bev 'ld'ne aaa ihe eorend moet se Wess SOU coleu VeheVe il, Myrters, the Mission Bell Tower} __ Abiaham, the Armenian Chapel of | | ( Beautiful Humili The greatest character in all hu- man history—Jesus Christ—per-- formed mircles and stayed humble.

But passing nto a small courtyard you come to the pool of Bethesda. There is no loubt about the pool as the four porches around the sides and one di- viding it across the middle leaves no doubt that it is the true pool. You go jown about 30 feet to get to it now and for those who do not care to go iown there are gratings for one to look thru. As you pass into the in- losure you read, if you are able, the information about the pool in eighty diferent languages. Later we came to the Tower of David which is now a museum of very interesting things, and you feel very ancient as you stand on the lrawbridge looking down on the moat thirty feet below and think of the history that it has helped to make.
