PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ ANS’ HOME For THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS VOL. X. No. 4 BARIUM SPRINGS, NORTH C ‘AROLINA, JANUARY 1938 December Income Reaches New All-Time Low 377 Churches Will $25,498.18 to Equal ’31-’32 Total Tabulation Published Below Records Amount Each Have to Give Church Is Shy of Last Year’s Total at the Close of the Third Quarter MANY WILL SOON PASS MARK When This Is Done They Will Be Transferred to Other List in Today's Messenger Believing that all Presbyterians of North Carolina would like to know the status of their church’s giving to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home during the past nine months of the church’s year, a chart has been pre- pared which shows the sum necess- ary for each church to give in or- der that it might equal the _ total contributed to the Orphanage dur- ing the entire year, 1931-32. This tabulation is in contrast to another one appearing in this issue of The Messenger, which shows that 121 churches have already passed their last year’s mark. The list below contains 377 churches. The shifting from one column to the other will be interesting to com- pare as the last three months _re- ceipts are calculated here. As soon as any church goes beyond its ’31- 32 total it will be transferred to the other column, and the percent- age of increase will be given. It is not intended that this should be a gauge to the giving of the next three months, but it is the hope of Barium officials that it will be an impulse to the _ individual. Some churches lack only a few cents of being ahead, and others are sev- eral thousand dollars behind. In the former cases, it is believed that many of the churches will yet double their 1931-32 giving, and it is hoped that those which are far behind will be able to go over their former mark. The total amount below for the 877 churches is $25,498.18. Should this amount be received, plus the a- mounts yet to be sent by those 121 churces which are already beyond last year’s mark, the income of the Orphanage would be several thou- sand dollars in excess of 1931-32, and this would also mean a reduct- ion of the debt of the institution— something which the officials are most anxious to enact, but which can be done only in proportion to the financial response of the churches of North Carolina. Two churches of the Synod have given a duplicate amount for the two years, and are not included in either of the lists. This brings the total to 500, which means that 27 churches in North Carolina have not given to the Orphanage to date. This is decidedly better than the 257 delinquent churches announced in the November issue of The Messen- ger, and means that 220 of them have responded during the last two months. Much of this has been in the Thanksgiving Offering, how- ever, and a large proportion of the 257 still do not send regular month- ly amounts to Barium. Authorities at Barium anticipate a comeback from some of the church- es, which will maintain that they are not shy this much. An _ agree- ment is already given to this, for some of the Presbytery and Presby- terial Secretaries send funds to Barium in a lump sum and undesig- nated as to the churches from which they were sent. However, at the end of the year, the Secretaries will give (Continued on page 4) Increased Number Are Contributing to Barium New Participants In This Years Thanksgiving Offering To- tal Approximately 200 A considerably larger number of organizations in the Presbyterian churches of North Carolina are part- icipating in the 1932 Thanksgiving Offering for the Presbyterian Orph- ans’ Home at Barium Springs. To date, 143 churches, Sunday Schools and Women’s Auxiliaries, who did not contribute in 1931, have sent in for 1932 was further revealed in an ex- mination of the receipts ten days ago that 187 organizations, which contributed in 1931, had not yet re- (Continued on page 4) ’ Barium Teams In Three Victories Boys Win One and Girls Cop Two--Substitutes Also Winners Athletic teams at the Orphanage ember, but the holidays brought a break in the schedules which will be resumed when the school sessions re- convene. To date, the boys varsity basketball team has played one game and won it. The girls’ varsity sex- tette has been victorious in a couple of contests, and the second string girls were successful in their meet with a substitute team of a nearby town. In all of the engagements, the Bar- ium outfits have shown some possi- bilities, but these early season games were, as a whole, ragged and poorly played. The boys’ varsity displayed a flashy spurt at the opening of the second half of their contest, and with a few weeks’ training they should be in top-notch form. Four veteran girls are at Barium for the varsity this season, while on- ly one letterman is back for the boys’ five. The other four are now candidates for the freshman team at Davidson College. Capt. Shannon, Brooks, Norman and Yarbrough are the quartette of seasoned play- ers among the girls, and Capt. Mor- ris Freeman is the single veteran of the boys. Barium Boys 22, Mt. Ulla 8 Barium had little difficulty dis- posing of the Mt. Ulla five, 22 to 8. They led at the quarter, 6 to 0, and lengthened this advantage to 10 to 1 at the half, the foul shot being caged after the whistle blew for in- termission. In rapid-fire order they rang up three baskets as the third period started, but coasted along for a third-quarter lead of 16 to 5. Cheek Freeman was high scorer for the winners with seven points. The Mt. Ulla Captain, W. Kennedy, ob- tained half of his team’s points, but the floor work of Brown, tiny sub- stitute forward for Mt. Ulla, fea- tured the evening’s playing. Barium Girls 16, Mt. Ulla 15 In a nip-and-tuck battle, the Bar- ium sextette nosed out the Mt. Ulla girls, 16 to 15, though it required an extra three minutes of playing to de- cide the winner. Barium started off as if a victory would be easy, and were leading 5 to2 as the first brack- et closed. However, Mt. Ulla showed a spurt in the second and brought the score to eight-all at the half. This supremacy continued for Mt. Ulla and they had a 14 to 10 lead over the Barium girls when the third quarter closed. Barium tightened her defense and cut loose with an offense in the closing stanza to score six points to one for Mt. Ulla to tie the game up 15-15. In the extra minutes Barium caged a foul shot to win the game. Barium Girls 23, Cleveland 5 The girls had easy sailing in their second contest, handily winning from a crippled Cleveland outfit, 23 to 5. However, Cleveland tdok an early lead, and scored three of their total tive points in the first quarter for a 3 to 0 lead. Barium got started and held Cleveland to one foul shot in the second quarter, one point in the third, and held them scoreless in the final. In the meantime, Barium scored six tallies in each of the sec- ond and third quarters, and romped away with 11 points in the final In both the Mt. Ulla and Cleve- land games, Brooks, tall Barium cen- ter, was high scorer with 10 and 14 points, respectively.

This fact is discouraging to those who work daily with the boys and girls here, but bursting through this launched their winter sports in Dec-;con light and hope for the future is discouragement and acting as a bea- the comforting knowledge that some of the churches have not fallen down in their gifts to the Orphanage en- deavor. Upon a minute examination of the financial receipts to date, it was found that 121 of the 537 churches in the North Carolina Synod had al- ready contributed more for the year 1932-33 than they did in 1931-32, and another three months are yet to pass. It is believed here that some of these churches will double their giv- ing of last year before the books are closed on April 30th. Giving to the Orphanage has reached a new low ebb this year, and had it not been for th; generosity of these 121 churches the total re- ceipts would perhaps be far below what they were one year ago at this time. Some of the other 537 church- es in this state are on the border line of passing their 1931-32 total re- ceipts, and subsequent publication of names of churches going above last year’s total will bring this number appreciably higher. This group of 121 churches _in- eludes 34 which did not contribute to Barium last year. These 34 churches and their organizations have already contributed a total of $258.61, which means that the 87 other churches have already increas- ed their total giving by $2029.05 over the nine months period for a total given of $2287.66 for the en- tire group of 121. It has been suggested from time to time that the Orphanage estab- lish an honor list of churches, but there are so many angles to such that it has been deemed inadvisable to do this. The measuring rod would vary in almost every instance.

The dates have been ar- ranged far in advance to avoid any conflicts with the county tourna- ments, so that all schools can be represented in the tournament. This affair is arranged without expense to the Orphanage, for any expenditures are cared for out of the gate receipts. Last year there was a small sum left over to assist Barium in its physical education program, which provides some form the list of 121 churches who have al- ready passed last year’s total might! be construed as a honor list, to} which it is hoped many others will be added in the February issue of The Messenger.

Miss West- ali and Mrs. Kyles were classmates] at Barium. | It has been learned at Barium of physical training for every boy ;and girl here. Nine counties sent delegations to the first mid4PSedmont tourney at Barium last year and these counties sent 28 boys’ and girls’ teams to the Orphanage. Three days were allotted to the playing of last winter, but four days have been set aside this year because of the increased num- ber of participating quintets expect- ed. Those county tournament con- flicts of last season are expected to be eliminated, because this early an- nouncement will avoid this contin- gency. Winners of last year’s tournament were the North Brook high school boys of Lincoln county, and the girl sextette from Banoak high school of Catawba county. Added to the competitive playing was a foul- shooting contest, in which approxi- mately 300 boys and girls partcipat- ed. This will also be a feature of the 1933 tournament. Silver cups were awarded to the winning fives last year, and these will be contested for again. They were given by Statesville concerns. It was stipulated that permanent possession can be gained only after winning the tournament for three consecutive years. Other awards will include gold and silver basketball charms given to the individual mem- bers of the winning team and run- ner-up, respectively. These are also given by enthusiastic Statesville fans. Last year the tournament attract- ed wide attention throughout this section, and a capacity crowd wit- nessed many excellent basketball games. Most of the playing is done at night, with the exception of Fri- day afternoon. Play will start short- that Clyde E. Johnson, 205 South (Continued on paeg 4) December income for the Presby- terian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs reached a new all-time low last month, when only $23,557.68 was received here, $20,654.00 of which was* Thanksgiving offering. Decem- ber is the time when the greatest in- come is received, for it is during that month that the major portion of the Thanksgiving offering is sent to the Orphanage. Compared with one year ago, the income was $4,585.20 less, and com- pared with December of 1930, it dropped $14,456.52. At the end of November, 1932, the income from the nine Presbyteries of the North Carolina Synod was $1,706.34 ahead cf what it was one year ago, but the December total means that the Pres- byteries have given $2,878.86 less in the past nine months. The table of receipts menthly pub- listed in The Barium Messenger, news organ of the Orphanage, shows a corresponding new all-time low in amount contributed per member. The 75,000 Presbyterians of this Synod have averaged 69.2 cents per mem- ber so far this year, when the bud- get and operation of the Orphanage has been based upon an expectancy of 90 cents per church member dur- ing the first nine months. Barium needs $1.20 from each of the 75,000 Presbyterians to operate each year, which means that the Presbyterians must rally to the sup- port of the Orphanage in the sum of 51.8 cents per member during the last quarter of the church’s fiscal year, or else the Orphanage will he faced with a greater financial crisis, During 1931-1932, the income of the Presbyterian Orphanage droppe'l $21,000, which meant an equivale:.. incurrence of operating debt to that amount. The budget for 1932-1933 was based upon an anticipated in- come as great as that of the pre- ceding year, but if the present trend in receipts continues, the Orphanage will have additional debt when its books officially close on March 31s! 30th, —P. 0.

H.— If your hands are tightly tied, you have a very helpless feeling, and af- ter awhile you are in pain. That is the way we oftentimes feel at the Orphanage when applications for en- trance are received and we know that acceptance of any more children means the incurrence of an addition- al financial obligation. What shall we do? Turn a deaf ear to the plead- ings for entrance, in cases where we know the need is urgent? The Synod ef North Carolina, by the amount of money it is sending to the Orphan- age, is keeping the knot mighty tight around our wrists, and the pain is not pleasant when one thinks of the opportunities that could be given to those who need a chance in life. —P. 0. H.— Due to the limited amount of space in The Barium Messenger this month brought about by the listing of all contributions to the Orphanage dur- ing December, we are omitting the publication of any cottage news items. However, we will have an ex- tra portion of this in the February issue, when the children will tell the world just how happy they weve at Christmas time, and will voice their thanks at the same time.

Happy New Year! —P. 0. H.— Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? We hope that you re- solved to be more generous toward the Orphanage a Twelve applications for entrance in a day’s mail not long ago! What would you do if you were the head of the Orphanage, when the insti- tution was already in debt, when you had necessarily tbliminated many workers, and when it seemed almost impossible to care for additional children, let alone the present num- ber, upon the basis of actual in- come and estimated income for the year? And there’ll be more applica- tions. —P. 0. H.— During the paft two weeks we have received two inquiries asking for the official title to be used for the Orphanage in making a will. We hope that our inquirers will live a hundred more years, but we are glad that they are thinking about us, and will make some provision for the Orphanage in their wills so that they will have a part in the destinies of many lives after their earthly mission is over. —P. 0. H.— Our investigation reveais that only 25 per cent of the Auxiliaries of the Synod have failed to send a monetary contribution to the Orphanage during the past nine months. This is a low percentage, and the Auxiliary organ- izations are to be congratulated upon the splendid support they render to Barium. We are hoping that through letters from here and from the Synod Orphanage Secretary other Auxiliar- ies might join the many others that are making it possible to conduct this work. —P. 0. H.— Young People’s organizations are being enlisted in the support of the Orphanage, and favorable results have been noted recently. Several have responded to letters soliciting their financial interest. To date, approximately 20 Christian Endeavor Societies or Young People’s Leagues have contributed to Barium. Con- siderable possibility lies in this direct- ion, and we think that our belief along this line will find justification in subsequent responses from these organizations. —P. 0. H.— The calendar year of 1932 has clos- ed, but the church year lasts three more months. We are hoping that there will be unprecedented giving to the Orphanage by all churches and their organizations during the last quarter, which will more than offset the decline that is now evident in the 1932 Thanksgiving Offering. We re- iterate our assertion of last month that much of the solution of our fin- ancial problem at the Orphanage lies in a regular and systematic contri- bution each month. —P. 0. H.— We are inclined to write a heated editorial about the tremendous de- cline in the Thanksgiving Offering, and about what ths means to us at Barium. However, we are going to let cold facts speak for themselves and are limiting ourselves to these pertinent questions, “DO YOU WANT THE USEFULNESS OF THE ORPHANAGE CURTAILED? DO YOU WANT OUR PRESENT SERVICE TO A REDUCED NUM- BER OF CHILDREN IMPAIRED? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?” —P. Oo. H.— Through the generosity of many of our friends every child at Barium was able to say this Christmas, “There is a Santa Claus.” For a while it looked as if many of the boys and girls would not receive gifts, but at the last minute they arrived from unexpected sources and everybody received something. Santa could not be as generous as usual, but we are glad that every- body had some gift no matter how tiny and insignificant it might have been. It was the spirit in which they were given that counted, for we feel that some were sent at a sacrifice so that the day could be brighter for our boys and girls. —P. 0. H.— We think that it is particularly fine that 121 churches in the North Carolina Synod have already exceed- ed the total given to the Orphanage in 1931-1932, and before our books close on March 31st, we feel that many other churches will be in that classification. We expect to give, each month, the percentage of increase over last year’s total, or the amount that is necessary for a church to be transferred from the latter to the former list. We congratulate the churches that have exceeded their 1931-1932 mark, and will look forward to an increase in their monthly per- centage, and to transferring other churches to this group. --P. 0. H— One of the healthiest and most encouraging signs we have observed lately is the fact that 183 more crganizations in North Carolina Synod took part in the 1932 Thanks- giving Offering. It is sadly true that the total Offering is considerably below that of 1931, but the increased which will in time have material ef- fect upon the financial status of Barium. Should there be a proportion- ate increase in the number of groups season. We can’t thank all of you enough for making our boys and girls happy, which also meant a happiness for those who work here. It would have been rather sad if some had not been remembered. —P. 0. H.— CHRISTMAS CARDS Christmas at Barium is always a delightful time. We have visits from members of our family who have !eft us, and we_ have remembrances, Christmas cards and such. We wish it were possible to ack- nowledge everyone of these Christ- mas cards by letter. We couldn’t de it if we had the time, however, be cause quite a number fail to put a eomplete address on their Christmas: card. Sometimes we do not have the full name. Of course we remember the name they went by as children, but women change their names when they get married (except those in the Movies). We are giving below a list of the Christmas cards received, and we wish everyone of the senders a most Happy and Prosperous New Year. Iris Henry, Graham, N. C. Katherine Kerley, Washington, D. C.

All these years that Barium has been getting out athletic teams they have been on the outside look- ing in when it came to Championship contests. It is only in the rather widely spread orphanage groups that championship games could be play- Barium has played representative teams from the various high school conferences; and has usually been fortunate enough to stand favorably with the champions. This past sea- son, in football, Barium defeated both the champions of the Class B High Schools and the Champion Jun- ior College. However, with all this when meets are held in Chapel Hill for high school competitions, we have never been allowed to enter because heretofore, we were not a tax-sup- ported school. We have wanted to get in on the wrestling meets held in Chapel Hill, but we have been barred for the reason mentioned above. We have wanted to get in on the track meets but could not. This year, things are different, and we have cast our lot with the South Piedmont Conference of High Schools composed of Lexington, Con- cord, Monroe, Belmont, Lincolnton, Hickory, Mount Holly, Mooresville, Kannapolis, Statesville, China Grove and Barium Springs; and we are looking froward with lively anticipa- tion to our contests with this fine group of schools. Something over half of our basket- ball games will be played with members of the conference. We hope to have numerous track meets with them, and in the coming fall to line up at least five football games with members. We already have two members regularly on our schedule. Lexington and Concord, and we will no doubt line up three more when schedule making time comes around. This does not mean that we are giving up our old friends and oppon- ents. We hope to have our Class A teams on our schedule. Also Belmont Abbey and at least two orphanages. Barium Springs is delighted with a cordial reception accorded her by the other members of the South Pied- mont Conference. We believe that we face even a brighter future in hav- ing so many of this fine bunch of schools on our schedule regularly.

G PUBLISHED By THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ Home For THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS VOL. X. BARIUM § 169 Churches of Synod Contributed $4,092.02 to Orphanage in January Total of 367 Churches Must Give $22,849.45 During Months of February and March to Equal Their Total Contributed in 1931-32 11 CHURCHES ADDED TO HONOR LIST Churches Now Exceeding Last Year’s Total Number 132--25 on Last Month’s List Increased Their Percentages During the month of January , organizations in 169 of the 537 churches in the Synod of North Carolina gave a total of $4,092.02 to the Orphanage at Barium Springs to bring the total of the Synod to $57,299.92 for the first ten months of the church’s fis- cal year. Compared with the ten-month period of 1931-1932, the whole Synod is now $1 ,727.91 behind, which the Orphanage of- ficials believe will be made up before March 31st. It is evident that since only 169 of the churches sent an offer- ing to Barium last month that the regular monthly support of many churches is yet to be enlisted. Many of them give a Thanksgiving Offering to the Orphanage and do not send any money to the Orphanage until the next Thanksgiving, which would be disastrous to the work here but for the support that comes each month from many of the North Carolina churches. To date, the total Thanksgiving Offering has been $27,385.88 which is considerably less than ter Thanksgiving, 1931. It is thought at church treasurers still have Thanksgiving Offerings the $32,000 which was sent af- Barium that some in their possession, and it is urged that this be sent in immediately. Bar- ium has had some sad experiences of banks failing with Orphan- age money in them, and it is hoped that the money which is so vitally needed at Barium today will not be lost this year in bank failures. CHURCHES THAT NEED TO EQUAL 1931-1932 TOTAL The number of churches whic) are yet to equal their 1931-1932 to- tal of giving to the Orphanage was last month reduced from 377 to 367, and the amount necessary to be giv- en by these 367 churches to equal last year’s contributions is now $22,849.45. The total needed last month was $25,498.18, and the dif- ference represented a substantial re- duction. With March fast approach- ing, the month when the churches exert particular efforts to meet their benevolent obligations, the total number failing to give last year’s total will no doubt be unusually small. In the list published in the Jan- uary issue of The Messenger and the one tabulated below in this issue, 234 necessary amounts remained unchanged, because no contributions were received from these churches during the month of January. On the other hand, 143 of them did reduce their amounts, while 11 churches of last month’s published list either equalled or went beyond their 1921- 1932 total and were transferred to the other column.

In addition to these 131, there are three churches in the Synod|-* which have exact! equalled their last year’s mark, giving an honor list of 134 out of 537 North Caro- lina churches. Eleven additional churches are in- cluded in this month's list. One of them did not give to Barium in 1931- 1932. Another church gave an a- mount during January that exactly equalled the previous year’s total, but has no percentage of increase. Of the 121 honor churches pub- lished last month, 25 of them raived their percentages during January. leaving 96 of this particular group which made no gift to the Orphan- age during last month. The percentage of excesses over 1931-1932 have a wide range. The highest increase is 2,884 per cent while the lowest is 1.13 per cent. — More Than One?

How long a time this will consume roster senger ago, and icials depends upon the co-operation of in- dividuals and pastors throughout the Synod. If there is a ready response to the requests for corrections or re- ision of a certain mailing list, the task should be concluded in another month. On the other hand, it might take several months to finish the job. Considerable has been done at Barium during the last month to make the list mére accurate. The type of all of the cities has been ar- ranged alphabeticz lly, and when this was done, many obvious duplicati: ons were taken out by the revisers. However, have already been returned from ap- proximately 380 pastors is clear in- dication that there are many other} duplications of which the workers were unaware and did not remove. Each family which receives two or more copies of the paper are asked elsewhere in this issue to notify The Messenger of this fact, and this will supplement what the pastors are do- ing.

No. 6 Annual Report to Duke Foundation Shows Reduction in Operating Cost Expenses During Last Twelve Months Were Reduc- ed Approximately $20,000—Main Decrease Occurred in Cottage Operations PER CAPITA COST IS LOWER Health Report of Pe is Particularly Noteworthy-No at Barium Since 1926. A good part of every January is spent in compiling the statistics re- quested by the Duke Endowment, and we have been doing this so long that it is interesting to compare these figures with those of a year ago, to see just what progress we are making, if any. First. We note a decided change in the number of days of care. This expression means the number of children cared for daily, and we note quite a reduction in 1932, from 1931. Meaning an average of 26 children less for the year just closed. This is an interesting item, but not one to be very proud about. Getting over into the finances, we find that the per capita cost has been reduced nine cents per day, and this is something that we are very much gratified over. We feared that the reduced number of children would make it hard to hold the per capita cost down, because there are certain items of expense that seem to be fixed. Such as insurance, and interest, We find that the total expense of operation has been reduced $20,000- .00 in round numbers; and this is larger than we had hoped for this year. We had hoped to reach that figure in 1933. The items of expense that have not been reduced is the matter of insurance which we find has in- creased about $800.00. Interest paid has increased about $1,000.00 Office supplies have imcreased something over $100.00; but in spite of these increases charged to Administration, the total expense of maintaining the Office and the Administration shows a reduction very close to $1,000.00. In the care of the children. and the expense covering food, clothing, together with the supervision of the cottages we find $12,000.00 reduc- tion. $1,000.00 a month. In education we find a reduction of $5,000.00. In health, a reduction of $1,300.00. This last item does not represent reduction as much as it does that our hospital just has not charged us for a lot of things that we really ought to pay for. They never have charged us for opera- tions or personal service, but have charged for rooms, and it is drop- ping this item that has reduced our health bill so much less this year. We find a reduction of $2,000.00 in plant operation, and in extra in- stitutional service a reduction of $3,000.00 All of our productive en- terprises show practically the same expense. Less than $100.00 between the two years, but the amount pro- duced shows a substantial increase. Summing up the whole thing, we find that the net value of the Or- phanage property shows an. increase of approximately $9,000.00. After observing the above we are moved to pause and give thanks that we can look back over the year just closed, and see evidences of this much progress. The reduction in our per capita cost has exceeded our hopes. We were making a desperate effort to reduce by seven cents this year, by three cents in 1933, which would then bring the per capita down to 90 cents a day. It is down to 92 and two tenths at the present time. There are a number of other items on this report that are most inter- esting. They are not so easy to write about. The report on the build- ings show that some steps have been made for safety. Annie Louise, Sy- nods and the Baby Cottage all have fire escapes now. Something that they did not have a year ago. We find that there was a lively harvest of teeth extracted. 395 teeth filled, 204 extracted. 31 tonsil and adenoid operations. There is one question that we have answered in the negative so long that it might become commonplace if we did not stop and think about it. That is the question how many have died during the year. There has not been a death among the children since 1926, and we are more thankful for this every year we live. We have recently passed through a very severe epidemic of flu. An epidemic that reached near- ly every person in the Orphanage, and out of that large number there (Continued on paeg 4) Page Two ” Ai Ty A >] ems B ar .

We had a fine Christmas, thanks to all the good people who made it possible. Nan Daniels, Ernestine Garrett, Glenn Lindsay and Frances Morgan were visited by their mothers dur- ing the Christmas period. Mrs. Lindsay gave a book, “Heidi” to the Howard girls and Mrs. Dan- iels gave us some oranges and nuts. We thank them for remembering us at Christmas. We also thank Mr. Clark and his boys for the popcorn and peanuts. We appreciate the cake the ladies sent us. If they could have seen how much we enjoyed it, they would have felt repaid for their work. All but eight of our girls have had the flu, and we hope they will be lucky enough to escape it, be- cause we know from experience that it isn’t a pleasant thing to have. We had the birthday dinner Wed- nesday, January 18th, and three of our girls had the pleasure of goirig. All of our mid-term examinations are over and we hope that everyone passed. —Howard Girls INFIRMARY If it is outside news that you want, you will have to go outside to get it; bui if it’s inside news, we can give it to you. On January 2nd, Cheek Freeman came to the Infirmary during break- fast with the flu and three other boys, not wanting to be outdone, trail- ed after him the same day. From then until last week, children were in from every cotiage, the largest number at one time being 62. We have 14 at this writing, and a few are still coming, but we think that it will have entirely disappeared by the time you read this in The Mer- senger. We had delightful visits from Mil- dred Warner and Martha Beattie a week ago. We were too busy to talk that day, and we hope they will re- turn soon when we can visit peace- fully together. We are expecting to begin our work in the yard before the Infirm- ary next week before the grass gets all our bulbs. The violets and golden bells are blooming now, and we are hoping that all we plant will be as beautiful as they are. BABY COTTAGE The holidays are over and we think that everyone was glad _ to start back to school. Santa brought us so many nice things. We only hope that he was as good to other people as he was to us. You ought to have seen our faces light up when we saw the Christmas tree and the presents old Santa had left. During the holidays we had many visitors. Some were: Mary Morgan’s mother, the mother of Janie and Stanley Smith, Mabel and Myrtle Weddington had a visit from their folks, Mabel Billings had a_ visit from her daddy, Rachel Mills was visited by her mother, the brother and mother of Charles and Mae Al- len Barrett came to see them, and Mama Girt enjoyed a_ short visit from Murphy and John, her sons. Mr. Salvaggio and friends also brought Zora Lee, one of our old girls, who paid us a delightful visit. Some of us enjoyed a picture at the Playhouse during the holidays. We are very grateful to the mana- ger who made it possible for us to ge. We are still enjoying the gifts that we got ourselves for the cottage Christmas, and we will continue to enjoy them for some time. We want to thank all of the kind friends who made it possible for us to have such a fine Christmas, and we wish all of them would come to see us sometime. There has been a regular flu epi- demic at Barium. At first, it did not invade the Baby Cottage, but we did not get to skip it even though it looked as if we would. Ten of us be- came ill, and when we got well, most of the rest made a trip to the In- firmary. One day not long ago after Chas. Barrett had recovered from the flu, he was in Pina’s room looking at the picture of a policeman. Pina ask- ed, “Charles, are you going to be a policeman when you are grown?” “No,” replied Charles, “I am go- ing to be a doctor.” “And are you going to be my doctor?” asked Pina. “No,” he readily answered, “I’m going to be Mama Girt’s doctor and give her bread pills.” Mama Girt, Mrs. Brown and Mary Brown spent Tuesday in Charlotte. They took Mrs. Breece, Mama’s sis- ter to Charlotte, where she took the bus to Maxton. Mrs. Breece has re- cently been in a Statesville hospi- tal. The wind is blowing a pretty tune around our cottage while we are trying to tell the news. It sounds like March. Our hope is that it will not blow up another snow. ALEXANDER For the past three weeks this cottage has been in ai serambie, trying to keep out the flu, but with all our scrambling almost everyone has had it or is having it. At one time there were only four boys to milk 45 cows. The Infirmary has a record of holding 62 patients. At the present, only one boy from our cottage is in the Infirmary. The cows have been steadily in- creasing the milk that they are giv- ing during the past week. One of the cows mysteriously lost her life. She broke her neck or another cow broke it for her. We don’t know which, but at any rate it’s broken and the cow is dead. It must have been a terrific blow, for a cow’s neck is a hard thing to break. The farming crew is building a new track. When completed, it will have a 220-yard straightaway. This will enable faster running, the track will improve the looks of the campus, and it will enable us to have more room for larger track meets. Track season will begin the first of March. Our new track will not be in readiness for this season, but the following spring it will be a Jim-dandy. Our boys’ varsity basketball team has been very successful this season, for they have not lost a game. Else- where in The Messenger you will read more about. this. The wrestling team went to Dur- ham on Friday, January 27th,, for its first meet of the season. We left about 12:30 and returned later that night. This was perhaps the hardest meet that we will have this season. Dur) am high will come to Barium iatei r a return match. A kind in Gastonia sent us a victrola, which we are enjoying very much. We send him many, many thanks. —Gordon Jones LEES COTTAGE It seems like spring today. The grass is growing and the maple trees are full of buds. Most of our boys have had _ the flu, but we think that it is about over now. They are making our track field larger. Some day we hope to be on the varsity and will be running around the track to win the rac. The track may be finished hefore this season, but it probably won’t be used until next spring. Mrs. Lackey recently had a letter from Mrs. Garrison Hope, our for- mer matron. We are always glad to hear from Mrs. Garrison (that is what we call her). Some of our boys go out for bas- ketball. We'll grow mighty fast, and it will seem a short time until we are ready for play on the varsity. —The House Cats SYNODS COTTAGE Like most of the children at Bar- ium, nearly all of us have had the flu, but it did not take us long to get well. The basketball carnivals have started, and five or six of our boys boxed last Saturday night. We have two new boys at our cottage. Their names are Bobby and Tommy Adams, from Dervita, near Charlotte. We are having a good time play- ing baseball. A lot of the boys got skates for Christmas and have been skating every day since. We had a birthday dinner Wednes- day, January 18th. Tommy Adams was the only one there from our cottage. There were 66 at the birth- day table. Everybody had a_ good time; at least they stayed at the table long enough. —Miller Blue ANNIE LOUISE It is time for us to write our news again, and it doesn’t seem so long since we wrote our last letter. We have been having flu, but most of our girls have already had it and are able to go to school again. Mary Penn Lindsay spent Christ- mas with her mother in Richmond, Va. She had a good time, and we all enjoy hearing her teil about her trip. We have been enjoying our play- time outdoors during this pretty warm weather, and we have been having a good time playing with our Christmas toys, too. Miss Miller went home to spend a week with her mother, and Miss Stevenson is our matron while she is away. We had the birthday table Wed- nesday and three of our girls were included. Well, we guess that we have tuld all the news we have this time, but when the letter-writing day comes again we'll be waiting with lots more to tell you about the happen- ings at A. L. C. So, until then, good- bye. -—Sadie Mills and Thelma Robards RUMPLE HALL In the January issue we didn’t write the news. The first thing we want to tell you is we all had a hap- py Christmas, which was made pos- sible by the lovely cards and gifts sent to us by our friends nnd rela- tives. Just as the holidays were over the flu came along and up to the present day 25 of the 36 of us have had it.

We also enjoyed the spec- ial music played by Miss Carson and her brother. WOMAN'S BUILDING Only one month of New Year gone! To us it seems like three or four, because so much has transpired since Christmas. For a while, we thought that it might have been three or four, because of the March weather we are having, but a sudden cold spell}. changed our minds completely. Strange to relate, there have been no more appendicitis cases from the Woman’s Building. However, nearly half of us had the flu during Jan- uary. The well ones had to nurse the sick all over the campus. Martha’ Beattie, of last year’s graduating class, is now visiting us for a few days. We are certainly glad to see her. And Nettie Miller, a classmate of Martha's, refereed our game with Statesville. Janet | Steele was also here at the same time. Thyatira Church, 1764 pounds flour, ! Mabry Hart 5.00 ! Aux.

Dur- ing January and incuding those Saturday, February the varsity outfits have won 19 dif- ferent mixups, nave lost only five and have tied one. The season’s win- ter record is 22 wins and the same number of losses and ties as above, which includes the three tilts report- ed in the January Messenger. The varsity basketball quintet has won nine games and lost two this season. The varsity basketball girls have won and lost a like number, and have tied one game. The 100- crew has won a couple and lost one on the basketball court, and the var- sity wrestlers have copped two matches with Durham high school. games of In the South Piedmont Conference } the Barium boys are in a tie for| fourth place with four wins and two losses. The Barium girls are also in| a tie for fourth place with three} conference wins and two setbacks. | and in the 110-pound = conference,} the Orphanage chaps are in a tie for second place with two victories and one defeat. Boys’ Games | Barium 28, Taylorsville 21. Aj third quarter spurt by Barium, in} which they out-pointed Taylors ille, |! il to 4, gave the locals sufficient margin to win. Three times during the game the score was knotted, and except for the third period Barium! barrage, the game was fought on) even terms. Barium scorers: M. Free- man 12; Wood 9; Johnston 63 Oli-| ver 1. Barium 16, Kannapolis 14. Barium, amassed a first half score of 11 to! 5 over Kannapolis, and "twas a good thing they did, fer the visitors came back in the last two brackets to tie the score, 14 to 14. Oliver caged the winning basket with a few seconds } left to play. Scorers: Oliver °° Cal Freemam 4; Johnston 3; M. Free- man 2; King 1. Barium 19; Belmont 11, This con- test was slow and uninteresting, par- ticularly in the early part of the game and the beginning edhe third quarter. In all but the second period Barium scored the most points, get- ting a substantial lead of 5 to 0 in the closing minutes of the initial period. Scorers: M. Freeman 10; Oliver 6; Johnston 2; King 1. Barium 18; Monroe 16. The feature of this game was a sensational come- back of the Monroe team which was trailing Barium 10 to 0, at the end of the first quarter, but which took a lead in the third only to lose it and the game as Wood sank a foul shot and Morris Freeman shot the win- ning basket. Scorers: M. Freeman 6; Wood 5; Johnston 2; King 2; Oliver 1 Barium 27, China Grove 22. Bar- ium’s scoring ability in the second and third periods, when they tallied 22 of their 27 points won phe ne with the China Grove five. Barium was unable to score in the first 11 minutes of the game, but made up for their laxity in the two aforemen- tioned quarters. Scorers: M. _ Free- man 9; Oliver 5; Wood 5; Johnston 4; C. Freeman 3; King 1. Barium 32, Stony Point 6. The Or- phanage easily copped this contest, but they were slow about showing on inclination to do so. The first quarter ended with the remarkably low score of 1 to 0 in favor of Bar- ium. It was 10 to 0 at the intermis- sion, but the locals scored 22 points in the last half. Scorers: Johnston 12; M. Freeman 9; Wood 6; Fowler 4; Oliver 1. Kannapolis 28, Barium 19. After leading Kannapolis, 16 to 8, the first half, the Towel City boys came back to hold Barium to three foul shots during the second division while scoring 20 points. M. Freeman and Johnston left the game in the third period on fouls, but were high point- ers. Scorers: M. Freeman 7; John- ston 7; King 2. Monroe 27, Barium 23. Playing their second conference game away from home in the same week, the Barium boys lost again. It is to their credit, however that they did much to overcome a 16 to 8 lead in Monroe’s favor the first half. Suc- cessful foul shots gave Barium 13 of her points. Scorers: M. Freeman 10; Johnston 7; Oliver 5; King 1. Barium 16; Children’s Home 6. This was a pretty guarding exhibi- tion on the part of both quints, and a courageous display of fight on the part of the Children’s Home from Winston-Salem. It was 4 to 4 during the recess interval, but M. Freeman cut loose to make the local’s victory decisive. Scorers: M. Freeman 9; Johnston 3; Wood 2; Oliver-a.—-—-- Giris’ Games Barium 38, Mitchell Brooks, Barium’s jumping center made a record that hasn’t been equalled this season when she scor- ed 27 of her team’s total points in College 28.

In this article we are not attemp- ting to enumerate all these things that we have to be thankful for, but we want to mention one in particu- lar, and that is our print shop. Ten years ago the department was installed, and we don’t see how we ever got along without it. Of course the big job of the print shop is to wet out The Messenger once a month Seventeen thousand copies of this paper are printed, and distributed throughout the Synod. Just keeping the mailing list straight on this big number is a problem that requires the pretty steady service of one boy, and occasionally, it takes several grown-ups to help. Then the print shop gets out a three-column weekly, devoted to school activities, more or less local. This has a limited circulation of something like 500 a week being printed. Then there is the church bulletin which is distributed in Little Joe’s Church every Sunday, some- thing like 300 of these being printed each week. There is also school stationery; office stationery. Every letter that is written from Barium is on_letter- heads printed at the printing office Special programs, menus, and a thousand-and-one odds and ends are taken care of as a matter of course by the printing office, and we are apt to lose sight of its usefulness, if we did not stop and at times enum- erate the number of things that are done there. All in all, a printing office is al- most as indispensable as a kitchen, in an institution like this. Any high school with a printing department has a tremendous advantage, in a number ot ways, over other high schools. So many things can be done better, with the help of a good print- ing department. Many things can be done that could not possibly be af- forded, did we not have our own shop to do it in. Among these things that we would have to do without is the high school annual. This book is the crowning achievement of the print- ing department, and they strive each vear to make a better job of it. The annual is sponsored by the senior class, and has been a financial suc- cess all these years. Many boys have learned to be quite skillful linotype operators and pressmen from their work in_ the printing office. Perhaps you would like to know how we happen to have such a splen- did outfit. Well, it is because Mr. James Sloan wanted to do something for us, and this was the outcome of that wish. The same Mr. James — made our athletic field possi- e. And then when we come to think of it, we doubt if we could have maintained an athletic field if we had not had a printing department. Whenever you visit Barium, take a look in the print shop. You would be surprised at the variety of things that are done there. ANNUAL REPORT (Continued from Page One) was not one who was dangerously ill. Miss Moore, our efficient In- firmary matron, handled the situa- tion without calling in any extra grown-up help, and it was only nec- essary to stop two girls from school one day to help over the peak. For almost a week there were over sixty patients in our Infirmary. We are so often so busy showing the results of our various productive departments, our athletic teams and our school, that we fail to say any- thing about the equally valuable work of the Infirmary. We think Miss Moore deserves a medal for having handled this big epidemic so successfully. All of this is somewhat apart from the discussion of the Duke Endowment, and yet it will be reflected in the report next year. We do not know what will be said in the financial column of this paper. It may be gloomy; it may be opti- mistic, but whatever it is, we must not lose hope because the statements in this particular article are bound to inspire courage. of the music department; and the re- ception committee will be the whole Barium family. We had thought that we would call this a “Depression Luncheon”, but we find that that is the name we gave it four years ago, and at a time when we thought that prosperity was “just around the corner”. Well, we have turned that corner, and now we are turning the fourth corner, and that should bring us back exactly where we started from four years ago; and maybe prosper- ity is just where we left it then! ep Ta is ‘i e t s a neem, Printed by Vorational | Department, Preshy- | terian Orphans’ Home we BARIUM MESSENGER (17235 Copies of This Issue Mailed to Pres- | | byterians In N.

Comparing it with last year, it does not look so bad. Less than $200.00 behind Feb- ruary 1932, and then February 1932 had an extra day in it! We find that two Presbyteries, Granville and Kings Mountain are slightly ahead of last year. Orange Presbytery is exactly the same. The other six are behind last year’s contributions. This would be very encouraging if we didn’t have to dig into histery and find out just what we were using for a yardstick. Contributions for February 1932 were terrible; in fact, for the whole year ending March 31, 1932. So using that as a comparison keeps us from being too cheerful about our receipts for this year. It is true that we have shaved our expenses tremendously, but even dis- counting this, it is going to take some real contributions in the month of March to keep our heads above water. We don’t like to say too much about money in the columns of The Messenger. A lot of people read The Messenger, and we know that _the entire family at Barium Springs reads it. It is terrible for any home to have anything depressing hang- mg over it constantly. It is hard on grown folks to exist under this, al- though grown folks, as a rule, take matters of this kind more philoso- phicaily than children. It is terrible for a children’s institution to have something hanging over it like we have had for the last few years. We speak of depression when we refer to business conditions, and we sometimes make a joke of it. It is something that is here today, and may be gone tomorrow like a rain or a storm, but a child’s life may have a depression so stamped upon it that it will wear the scars through mat- urity. A depression isn’t a good thing to have in connection with chilaren, and we are not referring altogether to business depressions. We want our children’s institution to be a cheerful place. A place of security and safety, and it can only be that when you who read _ this make it safe financially. Let’s think of these matters in this critical month of March. You know the church affairs are run different from a business. If the groceryman comes around with his bill this month and you can’t pay it, you can depend on it that he will be around with that same bill next month. Well the month of March is the time when al) the church causes present, not exact- ly their bills, but at least a memoran- dum of service rendered and needs. If the church does not pay it, it is not added to next year. It appar- ently is forgotten. P. O. H.— 1933 Football Card For Barium Announced With the exception of a definite settlement upon one game, the 1933 football schedule of the Barium Springs varsity has been completed and announced to the public. It shows a total of 12 encounters for next fall, seven of which are to played away from home and the remainder on Sloan Field at Barium. The schedule meets the require- ments of both of the conferences of which Barium is a member, the Or- phanage Conference and the one known as the South Piedmont. The former requires three engagements with conference opponents to parti 1 on page 3 ' four days’ play ‘Paw Creek And Banoak Winners Of Tournament Boys’ Team of Former and Latter’s Sextette Were Victorious 32 ‘TEAMS PLAYED Entire Tournament Wus Con- ducted in Excellent Manner The girls basketball team of Ban- oak High School in Catawba county’ and the boys’ quintet from Paw Creek in Mecklenburg county were crowned champions of the second an- nual Mid-Piedmont Basketball Tourn- ament held at the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home at Barium Springs February 17-21. This was the second time in succession that the Banoak girls have been victorious, while North Brook High School, in Lin- coln county, was the defending boys’ champions. North Brook was eliminat- ed this year in the quarter-finals. Thirty-two teams from 14 counties participated. It was a tough road that the two teams traveled to win the championship, and the climax of came on Tuesday night, February 21st, when the Ban- oak girls won over Landis, of Cabar- rus county, 26 to 19, and the Paw Creek boys subdued New London, of Stanley county, 33 to 23.

Superintendent Johnston, in wel- coming the guests, said that last night’s meeting was the civie club’s fourth annual trip to Barium since the depression, and he says that dur- ing the past four years there has been a consequent shrinkage in the program. Speeches have shrunk, ac- cording to Mr. Johnston. The pro- gram contains no more long-winded talks—but certainly this is no cause for any feeling of depression on the part of the audience. Mr. Johnston might have added. - though he did not—that other ele- ments of the annual event remain the same. For instance, there has been no shrinkage in the size of the welcome that he and other official members of the Barium household give the visitors from Statesville and Mooresville. The welcome is still as ordial as ever. Moreover, the pro- gram has not really shrunk.

Our Or- phanage was plunged into a crisis last year when the income from the Synod dropped $21,000, and the further decrease is not help- ing matters. It is encouraging, however, that the institution is in a slightly bet- ter financial condition than it was one year ago. We want to change the word “slightly”. We are writing you, asking you to urge your chureh, if it has not done so, to make a_ strenucus effort in March to pay up its bene- volent obligation to the Orphar- age. Will you do all within your power? Sincerely yours, FINANCE COMMITTEE, W. B. Bradford, W. M. Currie, Mrs. J. E. Driscoll, Mrs. W. T. Clark. No. 6 ‘Additional 1.

Barbecue Church, in Fayetteville Presbytery, which last month equal- led its former total, sent in a gift in February that put them in the cate- gory of those above the 1931-1932 mark. Twenty-two of listed last month made contributions in February, meaning that 122 of them failed to respond. The percent- ages of these were changed with the exception of the Raven Rock Church in Fayetteville Presbytery. This church gave nothing to the Orphan- age in 1931-1932, and whatever they send this year is a 100 per cent in- crease. During 1931-1932 these 145 church- es contributed $15,354.30 to the Or- phanage, and the amount given in 1931-1932 has totaled $18,997.74. This is equivalent to a 23 per cent increase in contributions and should every church in the Syned increase their contributions proportionally, for the Orphanage.

O. H. In the news columns of last month's issue of The Messenger, a report was given on the scholastic work of the Barium boys at Davidson, and at the conclusion was this statement, “We wonder if any other high school in the state can equal that.” We un- derstand that Barium must surren- der first distinction to the Davidson high school, for officials of that school haye challenged the statement and have prepared data on 28 boys and girls who are now enrolled at Davidson. We do not have the statis- tics at hand, and were they in our possession, we’) publish them.

SUPPORTING THE ORPHANAGE (From The Charlotte Observer) Considering the state of the coun- try, the Presbyterians have been measuring up fairly weil to their obligations to the Barium Springs Orphanage, an institution that, in good times, they have been only too much inclined to neglect. The latest report discloses that a total of 131 churches in the Synod of North Caro- lina, after the close of the treasur- er’s books at the end of the tenth menth of the fiscal year, have ex- ceeded the total amount that they gave to the Orphanage during 1931- 1932. In addition to these 131, there are three churches in the Synod which have exactly equalled their last year’s mark, giving an _ honor list of 134 out of 537 North Caro- lina churches. In spite of the situation involved beeause of inactivity of the backward churches, the report at the end of last January shows that the Orphan- age is actually a little over $2,000 better off than it was at the same time January, 1932. Nevertheless, the -e is large room for improvement and it would be mighty fine if faster additions to the honor list should be made. — Pp. O. H. We intended to announce through the editorial columns of The Messen- ger last month that the Orphanage had no funds in the bank that failed at Statesville some time ago. Many people have asked this question, so we want all of our friends to know that we did not lose money in this failure. —P. 0. H.— Barium was host last month to two delegations. One was the Mid- Piedmont basketball tournament which brought visitors here from 14 counties over a four day period, and the second was the joint supper of the civic clubs of Mooresville and Statesville. Both of these were cord- ially welcomed, and similiar visits are anticipated in 1934. . oO. H— Revision of the mailing list of 17,000 names has reached proportions not expected when it was originally intended to revise it. However, we'll continue to werk zealously and faith- fully on it until we have it in a shape that we consider fairly accurate. It is estimated that in the neighborhood of 5,000 names have already been dealt with in the last month and a half. Around 2,000 unnecessary names have been eliminated, and there have been additions to the list of people who should have been receiving The Messenger all of the time. 0 Our hats off to those 145 churches which have either equalled or ex- phanage, and especially to those 11 churches which joined the parade last month. Their total increase of 23 per cent over last year means con- siderable to us, both in the actual $3,642.84 increase and also the en- couragement that we derive from it. We are hoping that when the final comparatéve lists are os in the April issue of The Messenger, there will be reason for universal re- joicing throughout the Synod. —P. 0. Hi— February is a month when the Or- phanage list of students is carefully scanned and when investigations are made to see if some of the children can be placed in homes of relatives and others who might want them. There are quite a number who are ready to go out from Barium but there is absolutely no place to send them. And, at the same time, there are applications galore arriving at the Orphanage. This brings on a di- lemma. It’s mighty hard to say “No” to an application that is urgent, and vet we haven’t the funds to properly maintain those which are now under our care. We solicit patience from those who are interested in the ap- plicants. —P. 0. H.— As we go to press with this issue of The Messenger, news comes to us from Davidson College that Julian West, one of the Barium boys enroll- ed there, has been accorded the high- est honor that can be bestowed upon a fellow-student by popular vote. He has been made president of the Dav- idson student body for 1933-34. A. J. Potter, another Barium boy, has been made one of the vice-presidents of the student body for the next year, and Charles Forte, is captain- elect of the 1934 Davidson wrestling team. Congratulations to these boys from all members of the “big family” at Barium. We’re mighty proud of you. Next month’s issue of The Mes- senger will give news accounts of these elections. P. O. H.— The nation-wide bank holiday is materially affecting Barium’s income for March—a month in which we had hoped that the receipts would be par- ticularly large. As soon as the situa- tion is clarified and the banks reopen we hope that our contituency will make an unusually large response to offset the meagre receipts since the suspension was declared. Particular- ly do we hope that those treasurers who have money given a long time ago for the Orphanage work will send it to us. We could have used these amounts some time ago, but as the situation developed, the money was tied up and nobody had the use of it. We haven’t been able to understand why the treasurers will hold these ceeded their 1931-32 giving to the Or- monies, when their receipt here other high schoo! equal that!” more emphasis, “We wonder if in the state any can ADDITIONAL 11 (Continued from page 1) Calvary 80.38 87.88 Cann Mem. 97.04 105.41 Falkland 148.00 148.00 Goldsboro 276.56 559.60 Henderlite Mem. 100.00 100.00 Robinson 100.00 100.00 Runnymeade 100.00 100.00 Snow Hill 100.00 100.00 Spring Hill 100.00 100.00 Washington Ist. 8.24 12.05 Williamston 41.29 110.96 Concord Bethany 8.09 11.76 Bethpage —— 0.66 Glen Alpine 33.86 33.86 Hickory 6.39 14.38 Kannapolis 34.21 48.53 Lenoir 15.27 22.20 Little Joe’s —— 1.61 Marion —— 2.420 Morganton -_—— 0.41 New Salem 20.00 20.00 Park Place 100.00 100.00 Patterson 41.36 46.68 Stony Point 96.31 96.31 Fayetteville Barbecue —— 42.86 Bluff 212.78 212.78 Bunnlevel 666.67 666.67 Cameron 6.76 16.83 Campbellton 100.00 100.00 Four Oaks 25.00 25.00 Grove 5.88 5.88 Highland 26.13 37.93 Leaflet 7.53 7.53 McPherson 7.56 19.18 Naomi 100.00 100.00 Phillipi 25.00 25.00 Priest Hill 100.00 100.00 Providence 40.00 100.09 Raven Rock 100.00 100.00 Spence 100.00 100.00 Sunnyside 22.86 22.86 Westminster 130.77 130.77 Granville Brookton 66.67 66.67 Community 100.00 100.00 Ernest Myatt 100.00 100.00 Mitchell Chapel 100.00 100.00 N.

Seems as if all of us who didn’t know how to skate have learn- ed to do so or have it in our brains to learn. Several of us_ received skates a Christmas presents, and we loan them to each other. Our boys have enjoyed boxing he- tween halves of the varsity basket- ball games on Saturday nights, and the one who loses doesn’t feel hurt much. It’s the losing that hurts more than the punches that we get. We joined the “Presidential Par- ade” along with many others this month. Some of us have enjoyed “Wolf Paw” over the radio and we even have one member of the club in ovr cottage. We hope to have some more. It seems as if some of the people on the radio have the program for our benefit. moot ee one INFIRMARY We have had quite a few tonsils patients lately. It seems as if Dr. Asbill is always taking out someone’s tonsils. All of the patients are get- ting along fine. One of our old Barium girls, Bes- sie Kennedy, who has been at the State Sanatorium, is coming back in a few days. We will be glad to wel- come her home. It seems like old days nov. Phyllis Morgan, one of our last year’s girls, has come back to work with us again. Elsie Brown is helping her. We know that Miss Lackey will miss Lavada Lambert, but we hope she will like her two new girls. —P. O. H. Womans Buidling We are glad that it is now the time to write you. Why? We've been having oodles and oodles of fun go- ing to the basketball games this season, but Monday night we had the most fun of the season. It was class games: Seniors vs. Sophs, Juniors vs. Freshies. Seniors and _ Freshies won over their opponents. Then the Seniors were to play the Freshies! Whoops! Who won? Guess. Wait—I’ll tell you—the Seniors. Now this doesn’t mean the other tvams were not good. No! Never! Last Sunday we had our monthly mission band meeting and installed the newly elected officers. We do sincerely hope them great success in this work. We know Mrs. J. B. John- ston will help them out so much, for she has already proved a great leader among the societies. Have we been working puzzles lately? I should say so! It’s lots of fun trying to catch up and keep abreast with Miss Adams, our matron. She generally beats us a mile. Marguerite Gaskill. —P. 0. H.— RUMPLE We enjoyed having the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions Clubs of States- ville and Mooresville when they had their annual supper here. We hope they enjoyed being here as much as we delighted in having them. For some time we have been work- ing, like everybody els#, on some jig-saw puzzles and find it quite in- teresting and fascinating. Laura Smith and Ruth Morgan had their tonsils and adenoids taken out not long ago. They were out of school for only a few days. Basketball season is over, but baseball and track will soon follow. —P. 0. H.— HOWARD Miss Woods, our matron, has been called away because of the illness of her mother, but we are glad to know that her mother is recovering. Miss Mildred Stevenson and Miss MceGoo- gan have been our matrons during her absence. Miss Templeton, of Lexington and Miss Overcash, of Statesville, visited Miss McGoogan last week. We are glad to report two of our cottage members on the honor role. Everyone is working hard in school because we are exempted on the sub- jects on which we average 93 per cent. —Bean Stringers Stony Point 120.00 120.00 White Hill 87.26 158.96 Yanceyville 33.51 44.89 Wilmington Beth Carr - 0.63 Bladenboro 100.00 100.00 Croatan 23.35 56.39 Elizabethtown 30.08 39.83 Faison 27.79 27.79 Hebron 333.20 333.20 Morehad City 1.13 1.18 Oak Plains 18.98 18.98 Pollocksville 18.82 18.82 Rockfish 8.72 8.72 Smiths 233.00 233.00 Whiteville 83.42 83.42 Woodburn 15.05 15.05 Winston-Salem Asbury 100.00 100.00 Bixly 100.00 100.00 Cooleemee 7.68 7.68 Dacotah 53.33 53.33 Danbury 200.00 200.00 Dan River 226.16 226.16 Gillespie 100.00 100.00 Hills 30.44 Laurel Fork 100.00 100.00 Lexington 17.72 25.97 Low Gap 204.00 204.00 Pine Hall 100.00 100.00 Shepherd 38.53 38.53 South Lexington 100.00 100.00 Wilkesboro 5.74 5.74 Winston-Salem Ist. —..... 1.00 23.72 Average BABY COTTAGE Old St. Valentine left us many pretty Valentines, which we apprec- iate very much, and we hope that everyone else had many pretty ones, too. Bobby Starling, one of our little babies, who was taken home by his mother not long ago, paid Mother Moore, Ma Girt and all of the babies a visit. When Bobby arrived he told his mother that he did not want to fro back home, but that he wanted to stay here. Last month our family was _ in- creased by three new members from St. Pauls. They are Lily Marie Mc- Donald, Anne Watson McDonald and Jean Lanier McDonald. They were warmly welcomed by us, and it is hoped that they will like to stay at our home, Who can guess what happened on February 24th? Two _ pickannanies two girls from Japan and nine band players were invited into the dining room to give a program before the Lions, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs. We were particularly glad to give the program but oh! we were delight- ed when we heard that after the pro- gram we were to be served with ice cream. Last Tuesday evening Murphy Mc- Girt, with 27 other boys of the Pres- byterian Junior College at Maxton, broadcast over the radio and Miss Turner invited Mama Girt and all of us to hear them sing over at Rum- ple Hall. We also heard an interest- ing story while we were there. Miss Turner, we certainly do thank you and hope that you will let us come again sometime. Charles Barrett, Janie Smith, Bet- ty John Foust and Marshall Norris have had their tonsils removed lately, but they are well and back with us again. We want to thank the Junior Mis- sion Band of Back Creek Church for the nice pair of sheets that they gave us. : Miss Carson and some of her Statesville friends came to see us. We certainly did hate to see our dear teacher leave us, but we hope that she will come to see us soon and spend the day with us. While the bas- ketball tournament was going on we had many nice visits from some of the girls from the various teams. Come and see again. Wednesday we were glad to have some visitors from Belmont and en- joyed showing them our house and our play things. —P. 0. H.— ANNIE LOUISE There were ten of our girls on the program the night the civie clubs of Statesvville <md Mooresvijle had supper with us. The “Presidential Parade” was in Statesville on March 4th, and we were in it. The truck we traveled in was all decorated with red, white and blue. We sure did have a good time although it was cold, but we felt sure that it was colder in Washing- ton that day. Heien LHillings, Grace Coppedge, Millie May and Nancy Parcell had their tonsils taken out not long ago and they are almost weil now. The operation didn’t keep them from talking. Miss Dillon, of Leaksville, sent us some valentines and candy for Val- entine Day. We sure do appreciate them, too. Five of our girls have recited the Child’s Catechism. They are Helen and Evelyn Billings, Ruth Wedding- ton, Sarah Parcell and Flora Smith. We gave our program Sunday morning in the dining room for the prayer service and the rest of the big family thought it was fine. We must stop now and darn stock- ings. Helen Moore Millie May Nancy Parcell -—-P. O. H.—— FARM NEWS The farm has been enlarged by taking over the Pope place which is situated a mile or so west of Barium. We have been working on this land to get it in condition. It will be sowed in peas which will help build it up for the planting of heavier crops. Some bean trees, which were found when the boys were grubbing on this land, have been set out around the swimming pool. Now that most of the new-ground plowing is finished, we have resumed work on the track field. We had hopes of finishing this new field in time for track, but have been delayed so much on account of more’ necessary work that we're afraid the “sprint- ers”, etc., will have to wait until next spring to perform on it. The last of our hogs have been killed and we're afraid that our sau- sage supply will begin ‘o run low. In order that we might have plenty more fresh meat next fall, we are going to innoculate the remaining seventy-five or eighty head of pork to prevent them from catching cholera. It won’t be long until we will have some more stove wood for sale, and splitting wood at different times all of the last part of the winter. Futher information will be given on this later. The lambing season is nearly over and as a result, some thirty-five or forty lambs have been added to our little herd of sheep. These lambs are of a different breed from those of jlast year and will make mighty fine |sheep. M are.

The beauty of the sea with its waves rolling high, The twinkling stars that at night be- deck the sky, The rose bud with it ing to the sun, petals unfold- Twilight tinting the horizon when day is done The forests clothed in their robes of brown and gold, And again - when Nature, her robes of green unfold, But with these - the sea, the rose, the dewdrop and flowers wild, Still I think God’s masterpiece is just a little child. The above poem was written by Mrs. Hugh Paimer, of Salisbury, and was read at a meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the First Chureh at Salisbury when some of the Barium children were present to present a program. —P. 0. H.— Orphanage authorities are deeply grateful for the 20.39 per cent in- crease in income which 30 percent of the North Carolina churches have given us this year. We thank them for lessening the number of gray hairs appearing recently. The actual amount of excess for these 162 church- es is $3,355.10. —P. O. H.-- The Orphanage has been named as one of the beneficiaries in the will of the late C. Lee Knox, of Mecklen- burg County. The amount of his es- tate is not known at the present eent death of her mother. Mrs. Woods had been declining health a good while, but even the f her serious illness and impending ldeath could not forestall jand anguish of her actual passing. —P. 0. H.— There was an avalanche of givin 1 ir for knowledve the pain ea gs |}by churches in Fayetteville Preshy- ltery last month. Gifts from organiza- jtion in 43 churches of that Presby tery were received. Wilmington Pres bytery was second with 29; 20 from | Kings Mountain; 17 each from Meck- ilenburg and Orange; 10 from Aibe- marle; eight from Winston-Salem, seven from Granville. —P. 0. H.— We registered disappointment that more churches last month did not merit a place on our honor list, but as expressed in other columns of The Messenger, we feel that this number was decidedly curtailed cause of the bank holiday and ly the jtact that a number of the North Caro- lina banks are still closed or are op- erating under restrictions. P. 0. H.— Congratulations are extended to i7 churches which were transferred, and to all of the 162 which are now on this roster of honor. Some of the receipis for the first half of April, when they are obviously for the old year, will be included in the final tabulation in April, and next month our record will probably show in the neighborhood of 50 per cent of the churches exceeding their previous year’s total. —P. 0. H— Checking over the record of re- ceipts at the Orphanage, it is found that 73 of the 537 organized churches in the North Carolina Synod have not made a contribution to Barium for 1932-1932. However, these are, for the most part, unusually small churches and many of them have memberships of less than a dozen. This report at the end of March is writing. The terms of the will pro- vide that the estate is to be invested by the executor, the income of which wiil be sent to Barium. —P. 0. H.— Thirty-one days in March and 49 applications for entrance! There were no students discharged during the month. The Orphanage already has more students than it can properly care for with the present income. This is ovr intimate problem at the Orphanage, but it is also your pro- blem. What are you going to do about it? —P. O. H.-— The entire Orphanage family deep- iy sympathizes with Miss Verna Woods, matron of Howard Cottage, quite a contrast to the 278 which had not given to Barium last October. ——-, 0. Hi The banks had a holiday, and we had a recess from our financial worries. However, the latter was short-lived, but in many instances the former has continued. And those worries over how to meet obligations have more than offset the temporary rest that we enjoyed. The March in- come was $3200.00 in round numbers, less than for March of 1932, and dur- ing the bank suspension we had to continue operating the Orphanage. Figure that out for us. —P. 0. H.— The Orphanage is grateful to the Philidelphia Athletics, and to Earl in the bereavement caused by the re- be- | ft Barium Me: recently presented with the compliments of the Athlet- ics. The baseballs were used in the spring practice of Athletics at their camp in Florida, and are gener- lly in excellent condition. They will |find great usefulne m the Barium jcampus.

He distri- jbuted these jig-saw puzzles to hos- jpitals and orphanages over the whole country and we got enough to keep us busy for several weeks. Wasn’t tha fine idea! P. 0.

At his suggestion, some of the balls used in the spring train- jing of the Athletics were saved and presented to Barium Springs Or phanage. We understand that young Earl Mack, Jr. had a lot to do with it. He had heard the praises of Bar- lum Springs sung by our master jrooter and friend, Steve Culbreth jand he cast the final vote to donate those balls to Barium. And now, just jthink of it, all this summer we will be playing baseball with bails that maybe Jimmie Foxx knocked out in- to the deep outfields. One ball in par- |ticular that has a deep bruise on one Mention has been made in this col- umn before about our efforts to have a flower and evergreen hedge around | the football field, not only for beauty, | but to encourage people to come in-! side to see the game, and we had ob- served the beautiful Cannas at the| Ford plant in Charlotte. We immed- iately thought a hedge of Cannas around the upper side of the foot-j; ball field would be fine. i Miss Sue Woodside, a mighty good friend of Barium, who is always thinking of us, mentioned this to the Ford folks, with the result that they told us come down and get some. We! tried to impress it on the Ford peo- pie that we needed just more Cannas than there could possibly be in the world to do this job, because it is a thousand feet from the dressing room on the football field thence to the wooded area, and we wanted enough to make a hedge a thousand feet long. We didn’t think it possible that we could get that many roots from any one place. However, we sent down to i the Ford plant the latter part of March and brought back about a half-a-truck load. Then we started to set out Canna bulbs, and when we got through with that thousand-foot hedge, we found that we had not used half of them! We then made a border around Jennie Gilmer Cot- tage, and everywhere else we could Page Two think of, and still have some left! Talk about mass production! Maybe Ford doesn’t know his onions, or his Cannas! And we are deeeply grate- ful to everybody that had a hand in this. -P. O. H.— On February 24th., we had our usual Civics Club supper at Barium. Among the guests was our friend and neighbor, Ben Stimson, photo- grapher. He was so tickled wit) the performance put on by our young people that he wanted to take a mov- ie of it, and that idea of his started something! And the final upshot of the whole business was that Mr Stim- Mr. Milton, co-op ing With the large part of a day at Bar- ntly, with a small movie comera; and the result of their ef- forts was shown at a little home made movie show at Barium on the night of April 7th. The result was marvelous. Thirty minutes of concen- trated shown on the screen, giving a sample of almost every activity on the place. This little movie will be shown at of our Church Courts this spring action was seme gz, and it will be added to with some of our summer and fall activi- ties, as we have occasion to photo- zraph them. One of the reasons why Barium Springs has such a wonder- ful place is that here you see the re- sults of so many people’s contribu- tions. Not only in’ money, but in ideas; and this idea of Mr. Stimson’s, we have no doubt, will encourage ‘contributions of both ideas and mon- ey from many of our friends. -P. O.

From the New Bern Sun Journal. ryt will We had a splendid delegation here from New Bern. They came in one afternoon late, and stayed until the next afternoon, and while they were here, we devoted our entire time to seeing that they saw just as much of Barium Springs as was possible in that time. We all enjoyed the experience just as much as though we were on the picnic ourselves. We hope many other delegations like this will come. Mr. McClure, the pastor of the New Bern Church, was in the party, and he is a sort of son-in-law of Barium’s anyway, Mrs. McClure being the daughter of a former Superintendent Mr. Walker, Dr. W. L. Hand, Mr. Latta and Mr. Hollister were the other members of the party. ——P. O. H. HONOR ROLL FOR 8TH. MONTH First—Mabel Billings, Raymond Jessup, John R. Lewis, Marshall Nor- ris.

We herewith present with pride, the pictures of the grad- uating class at Barium Springs. We might call them the out-put of the Orphanage for the school year just closing. We are giving n very bricf sketch of each individual. That doesn't begin to tell all ot the good points, nor how much we think of them. We are going to miss this fine group of young people in many ways We will miss them for the work that they did. We will miss their leadership, but more than alf else, we will miss their companion- shin. They hope to find places somewhere among the readers of this paper. We hope you will get to know them, and that they w ill become as good citizens as they have been students We commend them to your love and fellowship. Some of them have been with us a good while. Fifteen years! The shortest per- iod that is listed is five years. Some of them have very dim re- collections of any other home but Barium, and were it not for the fact that Barium Springs extends through every Presbyter- ian Chureh, and every community in our State, all parts of our family, they would indeed be afraid to venture from this place that has sheltered them through the years.

Alumni News Some days ago the writer of this column went to Charlotte. It seemed that everybody that I expected to se was out that day; and yet, when I came home I felt fine, just like I had accomplished a full day’s work. Trying to analyze this feeling, I can only account for it by having ~~ across an old Barium Springs’ boy: One of the real old-timers, Clirton Powell. He took me out to lunch, and the association with him was so |pleasant that it cheered up the whole day. There were fine folks raised around Barium Springs back in the early days of the century. We know, because we had another one of these old-timers to preach our baccalaure- jate sermon at commencement, Rev. | |J. QO. Mann, of Chester, S.C. Mr. |Mann brought with him one of his }sons whom we were glad to intro- jduce to Barium On Sunday night of commence- ment, Rev. John Parks, of Spencer, preached our sermon to the young people. He brought with him, Mre. Jarvis, who was a girl at between 1900 and 1906. She was Cosby in those days. Having these two Barium alumni on our program, no doubt had some- thing to do with the unusually large number of old boys and girls return- ing.

Jos. B. Johnston, manager of the Home, was in charge of the medal awards, but asked several of the fac- ulty members to assist. Mr. O’Kelley gave the scholarship medals. Leila Johnston made the highest average, 96.9, of the grammar grades, tut having been given the medal in 1932, ‘she retired in favor the next high- ‘est, Alice Jones, of Concord, with an laverage of 945 to whom Mr. 0O’- \Kelley gave the medal. Billie Martin, ‘of Lumberton, made the highest average, 95.8, of the high school, land was given this medal. The Bible medal, going to the per- ‘son who had completed = specificd ‘memory work and had made jhighest average in the four-year |Bible course went to Marian McCall, jand was presented by Rev. W. C. ‘Brown. Hattie Morris, of Raleigh, ‘won the music improvement medal, which was presented by Mr. John- ston, and he then awarded Frank Purdy, of Barium, the ace meen, which is annually given to that grad- uate who, in the opinion of the fac- ulty, workers and students, has been the most conscientious worker dur- ing his stay at the Orphanage. | Mr. Johnston asked R.

This was the third ex- ercise on the 1933) commencement program. The Spencer minister used as his text, “And they saw no man, save Jesus." He developed two central thoughts in “Wanted: A Vision of Christ,” ‘end second, *‘Wpnted: A Verdict for Christ.” In elaborating upon the first, he stated that “man needs to litt his sky -line and catch for his soul a loving gleam of heav- en. To see Christ one must look higher than nature; higher than Mo- ses and Elijah; higher than the best and wisest of men. Until man vis- ualizes God he is blind to life’s abid- ing realities and is bound by the chains of daily circumstance.” Mr. Parks averred that many young people live empty, monotonous, cheerless and faithless lives because they are not looking up. “A horizon- tal vision leads to a life of mate rialism, despair, gloom, fear and de- feat,” and as a contrast to this, he declared that “a stainless, vertical vision makes a man aspire, worship, hope and trust. The man with a pure, lofty vision,” he said, “is a dawn- | bringer.” A verdict for Christ is a natural outgrowth when a vision of Him is obtained, said the speaker, and “when these two things happen an j individual realizes that it is Christ who imparts life that is rich, rad’- jant and eternal. To flaunt Chrict is hell, but to friendship with Him is heaven. To all who see Him, He jis beautiful; to all who receive Him, He is the Giver of bountiful life,” he said in closing. Baccalaureate | “When you get out into the world fyour Christian faith will be dis- jcounted by some, it will be laughed at by others, some people won’t take and there will |be the temptation to ease off, to drift |away, but above all things, don’t do that, no matter what happens, for |your Christian faith is the most pre- cious thing in your possession,” ad- |monished and advised Rev. J. Oscar Mann, pastor of the Purity Presby- |terian church of Chester, S. C., who |May 21st preached the annual bac- jcalaureate sermon to the graduation jclass at Barium Springs. |_ Mr. Mann, who graduated from |Barium in 1902, spoke feelingly upon ithe subject, “The Supreme Essential lof Life— Faith,” because he himself had been a student at Barium and had left here to meet the manifest problems that trouble young people when they are taken from the shel- tering surroundings of an institution like the local orphanage. He pointed out that life was sect in the midst of hostile forces, that the graduates would be tested by an- tagonism, that there would be things encountered to darken their minds and to bring disappointment and de- ifeat to them. “Don’t let the world get a victory over you,” he pleadir<- ly urged and stated that the only way their victory would come over the world was through unflinching and unalterable faith. The Chester minister cited a sense of sin, the actual presence and nower of sin itself, and the power of ma- terialism as three things which would be constantly trying to drag them down. In passing he also mentioned poverty, poor health, a disruption of plans, disappointments, the loss of a job, friends and other things which would be working against them. “Don’t depend upon these things, be- cause they will cause a breakdown of your faith, but let your faith he supreme, the anchorage of your life, and nothing can disturb you.” class marched behind the seated sen- iors and sang, “Farewell to Seniors.” Marian McCall delivered the valedic- tory, and Rev. Brown pronounced the benediction. June 1933 Barium Messenger Page Three Believe It Or Not--Six Years’ Difference Class Mascot sf Take a look at these two pictures.

WN Printed by Vocation- al Department, Pres- terian Orphans’ Home VOL. X. ARTIUM MESSENGERE== PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ Home For THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS BARIUM SPRINGS, N. ‘ Barium’s Rating for 1932 Same as 31; Tied for First With 956 Points An Unnamed Orphanage Raises Average to Share Honors With Barium AVERAGE HIGHER Another Institution Close By With Rating of 955 Points Barium Springs must relinquish the undivided claim of being the highest ranking of 44 orphanages in the two Carolinas, for a report is- sued last month by the orphanage division of the Duke Endowment dis- closed the information that another institution is tied with Barium for the highest rating. Out of a possible 1,000 points whieh has been set a5 @ standard, Barium and the unnamed orphanage have a total of 956, only 44 points shy of meeting every re- quirement. Last year Barium was un- reservedly first, with the same rat- ing of 956. The standard of 1,000 points, adopted a few years ago, was set af- ter officials of the Duke Endowment and orphanage superintendents throughout the two Carolinas had conferred together and unanimously agreed upon the various items and the points allotted to each. The eight items, and the points apportioned, in- clude social service, 250; housing, 125; food, 100; clothing, 75; educa- tion, 115; health, 85; moral and reli- gious training, 150, and financial re- cords, 100, Barium’s status in regard to all of these items remained unchanged from that of a year ago, the Presbyterian Orphanage here losing 31 points on housing; six points on education, and seven points on health. The significance of Barium’s abil- ity to maintain its record of 956 points this year is more than appears on the surface. The local orphanage was able to do this despite the fact that her income has continued to tall off, and it is also significant in view of the fact that Barium does not have the highest per capita cost of the orphanages in the two states. Officials here had hoped to make some improvement in the average, but this was impossible in view of the depleted resources. The minus 31 points for housing is because some of the children at Barium sleep in deuble beds, while the standard would have all of them in single beds. The six points lost in education was because the local school is not an accredited one, though it barely misses measur- ing up to the requirements, and the seven points lost in health does not concern the health of the children, but the lack of health examinations of all the workers connected with the institution. The 44 institutions together com- bined to raise the average this year. The last report showed a general average of 817 for this number of in- stitutions, making Barium 139 points above the average last year. However this was raised, according to the last report to 848, thirty-one points above that of a year ago. With Bariuni’s rating remained unchanged, it meant that the Presbyterian Orphanage is this year only 108 points above the average of 44 orphanages. Both Barium and her co-ranking institution in high place are being pushed by another unnamed institu- tion, which showed a total of 955, only one less than these two. There are six orphanages now in the 900- point category, while there were on- ly five one year ago. When an analysis is made of the individual scoring of the average in- stitution and that of Barium, it is seen that the local orphanage was better than the average except in that of housing. In this item, Barium was six points below the average institu- tion. Barium’s social service was 87 points above the average; its food, 10 points; the clothing, four; education, eight, and moral and religious train- ing, five. The health and financial re- cords at Barium were exactly the same as the average. Every one of the 44 institutions scored all that was possible on financial records though the average in health was 7 points shy of the standard. Below will be found the charts which have recently been issued by the Duke Endowment people, and is a statistical rating of Barium as compared to the standard of 1000 points, and as compared with the average orphanage of the two Caro- linas: In s t i t u t i o n P l u s or ai 8 956 -44 (Continued on Page Two) ~ Va l u e S cf It e m © (S t a n d a r d ) Total ee Sunday Schools Are Challenged to Feed ( Orphans It Costs An Average Of Ten Cents Per Meal Per Child at Barium RECENT RESULTS June Offering Would Have Served Meals Eigt:t Days It is being suggested to the Sun- day Schools throughout the Synod who devote one Sunday’s offering each month to Barium, that a definite objective be set toward which the boys and girls of the Sunday School may strive each time that a contri- bution is taken for this institution. The suggestion is to see how many of the Barium children could be en- tertained at a meal by the total of- fering given by that particular Sun- day School. It costs on an average cf ten cents per meal per child at Bar- ium. If a Sunday School gives an of- fering that totals $15.00, it means that they could have had 150 of the local boys and girls as their guests for that meal. When the next offering is taken, the goal could be 200 child- ren to which they might be hosts. Excellent results have already been noted in those Sunday Schools to which this announcement was made on the Sunday prior to the offering, and to which it was recalled on the day that it was taken. Such results have been most encouraging and the increase given Ly those which have tried the plan has actuated the local officials to suggest this to every Sunday School that gives regularly. During the month of June the Sunday Schools «f the Synod contri- buted a total of $825.27. This means that over eight thousand meals could have been served the children at Barium during chat time. Approxi- mately 1000 meals are served a day at the Orphanage, and allotting $100.00 a day for meals, this means that every Barium boy and girl could have been fed eig it days during the past month by the offering of the Sunday Schools. It is hoped that during the month of July the contributions will be even larger and that the giving by the Sunday Schools alone will grow each month util they will be hosts to all of the boys and :;irls here at every meal during the 1.0nth. Looking at tiis from another standpoint, it can be positively as- serted that if ev ry Presbyterian of the Synod, whether enrolled in a Sun- day School or nov, would give one meal a month to a child at the Or- phanage it would bring in a total in- come sufficient for operation, with a consequent elimination of financial worries. —Pp, 0. H.— | Letter From N. Y. | The fc lowing is a letter which was written to his matron by Miller Blue, an 11-year-old boy who is in the party that was invited to spend the summer in New York state as guests of Mr. Edwin Gould, of the Edwin Gould Foundation. It was written shortly after arriving in New York City, where the ten Barium children remained for two weeks before go- ing to Windham, N. Y. Elsewhere is another account of the trip, written by Mr. Johnston, who accompanied them: New York, N. Y. June 6, 1933 Dear Miss Taylor: How are you getting along? I lost my pen so I have to write with @ pencil. I am going to start at the begin- ning and tell up to now. When we arrived, Mr. Gould and Miss Fetch met us at the station. We washed our hands and then went to a cafeteria for dinner. After dinner, Mr. Gould, Mr. Moen, and Mr. John- ston took the boys to see the Yankees and Philadelphia play ball. The Yanks won, 5-4. After the game we went to the Camp Gould and had supper. The next day we went to the American Museum of Natural His- tory. After we got through seeing the things we ate dinner at a restaurant. Atter that Mr. Johnston took as to the Yankee Stadium. We went out on (Continued on Page Four) | An Open Letter To Treasurers of Churches and All Church Organizations Sometimes we get to doing things, and it becomes such 2 habit that we forge; why we ever started doing them. Just as we cannot explain why a dog turns around two or three times before he lies down. Way back in prosperous times the various Presbyteries elected treasurers to handle the great volume of money going through ther hands. At that time the giving was so easy that we did not need to know anything about orphanages, foreign missions or anything else. We just gave to a clock, so to speak, and thi: money was sent over to the Presbytery’s treasurer, and he did a little percentage figuring and mailed out to each cause the amount due it. We wonder if anybody can remember back when times were that prosper- ous. Now, one of the big argu- ments for a Presbytery treasur- er was that it saved duplica- tions. You sent him $160.00; he sent something like $40.00 to foreign missions, $16.09 to home missions; $7.50 to the orphan- age; and it just cost you one stamp to send the whole busi- ness to him; he could double up the centr butions from all of the churches, and save a good many stamps. In this way, 2 lot of “thank-you’s” were saved also. This plan, while it would have worked fine, if the money came in witheut any urging, still has a few flaws in it, and it was never designed to take care of special contributions. For in- stance, if a church or Sundar Schoel toek a special offering for a special cause, nothing was saved by sending that throngh the Presbytery’s treas- urer. It always created contu- ston. He had to keep that a sep- arate account, and after division had been made of the other re- ceipts, to include that special offering. IT WOULD SIMPLI- FY MATTERS TO SEND ALL SPECIAL OFFERINGS TO THE TREASURER OF THE CAUSE OF THAT PARTICU- LAR BENEVOLENCE. We believe that Barium Springs has more special offer- ings than almost any cause in the church. Synod has ordered and encouraged one Sunday a month in the Sunday Schools. This is a special collection. Then there are special contributions in the Auxiliaries, and at Thanksgiving, all organizations take a special offering. All of these special gifts should come directly to the orphanage. lf they are not sent here, and should they not be properly de- signated when they are sent to the Presbytery’s treasurer, he, not knowing what it is for, may put it into the general fund and send Barium only 742% of it. This has occurred so many times that we have been in des- pair, and right now "s one of the times when we are in such straits that we are appealing to the treasurers through this let- ter. Right at this time we do not have the money to run on de- cently. For April and May one- tenth of the regular revenue of the orphanage was sent in. In our desperation we have asked numerous organizations to tahe special offerings for us. We know that a number have done this thing, and yet very few checks have been received by us. What has become of it? We know that the church treasurers are honest. They have done something with it. They have sent it somewhere. We know that the Presbytery treasurers are honest, but very human. We don’t think any of them are paid for this work, and they do not like to devote more than one or two days a month to this job. Consequently, they wait until about the tenth of the following month to make remittances. By that time, they may have for- gotten that the $25.00 from this church or the $50.00 from tha: church were special contribu- tions. They just have so-much money in the bank; they get the percentage machine to working and sené it out, and Barium Springs continues to receive just 714.% of what was intended to come entirely to the Institution. Some time ago we received a letter that had a special contci- tien taken two years ago for Bariam, which was the result ef selling some old jewelry. (Continued on Page Four) *, JULY 1933 New York Journey With Barium Children Described by Conductor Moving Pictures Being Shown In Many Localities Several Trips Were Made During June—Film Is Cordially Received —_—_— MORE IN JULY Requests For Showing Are Coming in Rapidly During the past month, the moving pictures of Barium have been shown on two occasions. The first tirne, it was before one of the circles of the First Presbyterian Church of Greens- boro. No representative from Barium was present to lecture with the pic- ture as it progressed, but the party who arranged to have the film sent to Greensboro reported a favorable reception of the picture. The second showing was at Jeffer- son at a chautauqua which was in progress there. Members from sev- eral of the Presbyterian mission churches in that section were present =o see it. The tent was was filled to capacity, with many standing up. In addition to these, two other en- gagements are scheduled for July, at the First Presbyterian Church at Durham, and at the Presbyterian Church in Sanford. Several questions have been asked during recent months as_ to what charge was made for showing the picture. The answer was “None.” Of- ficials at the Orphanage believe that the cost of taking the picture to var- ious places will be more than offset by the good that can be accomplished by the pictures. It is left up to the church in which it is shown whether the expenses will be taken care of, or whether an offering will be made after the film has been shown. There certainly will not be any de- terring statement on the part of the authorities to prevent this. The pic- ture and equipment cost in the neighborhood of $150, and it would be fine to pay for the picture and equipment and cost of the trips by taking an offering. After the showing in Jefferson, the min‘ster in charge stated, “ We can’t pay you anything for showing these pictures, but when our apples come in, we hope to send you four truck loads, one from each of our foer churches.” They will be most welcome. Others plan to send peaches to the Orphanage, and these can be used to advantage, for the peach crop here is not as good as it has been in former years. Necessary equipment has been pur- chased at Barium for the displaying of these films. At first a projector and screen were borrowed, but the de- mands for them have been such and will be so great in the fall, that it was deemed necessary to purchase a projector and screen for full-time use. | Simple Reminders A simple reminder that an offering which is being made is going to be sent to the Orphanage at Barium Springs will do much toward increas- ing the total of that particular day, because the hearts of big and little, old and young people all alike have a warm spot in them for those boys and girls who do not have the advantages of a private home. It was with this in mind that two types of posters were recently pre- pared at the printing office here and distributed to all of the Sunday Schools of the Synod which contri- bute regularly to the support of this institution. More than one poster was sent to some of them, for distribu- tion to the various departments which |remember Barium with monthly gifts. One of the posters read: BARIUM SPRINGS OFFERING NEXT SUNDAY This one is to be used on the Sun- day preceding the offering for Bar- ium, and will serve to remind the Sunday School membership through- out the week that all they give on the next Sunday will go to the Orpnan- age. The second poster read: BARIUM SPRINGS OFFERING TODAY And the word “today” was printed in red. It is obvious that this one is (Continued on Page Two) —P. 0. H— No. 10 Jos. B. Johnston, Superin- tendent, Recounts Main Events of The Trip PLENTY EXCITED Children Win Hearts of Other Passengers on ‘Train Something was said in the last is- sue of The Messenger about an invi- tation from Mr. Edwin Gould, for us to send ten children to New York to be his guests for the summer. The names of the ten children were men- tioned in this article, but The Messen- ger went to press before the actual trip took place. Well, here is what took place: On the night of June the first, when the 8:25 train rolled into Statesville, the New York sleeper had as passengers an old couple (rather drowsy look- ing), a case hardened traveling man, an old man, and a nice looking young lady. They were drowsy and a little bit bored with the trip. When the train stopped at Statesville, a man got on with ten children, and went into that same pullman. And right then things commenced to happen! The traveling man raised one eye- brow and shrugged his shouldrs. The old couple heaved a sigh, the old maid looked like she was going to speak to the conductor about i, and the young lady looked interested. The children were supposed to con- fine themselyes to two and a_ half sections, but they were just over- flowing their quarters all the timel It was not long before the young lady’s interest reached the point where she joined the party, and as- sisted very materially in getting the amily bedded down for the night. The ‘hildren asked so many questions and seemed so alive that even the traveling man thawed out, and the old maid was seen offering one of the little girls a magazine to look at. When bedtime came and the child- ren were all in their berths, every- body settled down for a_ peaceful night. It was not necessary to get off the train before seven o'clock the next morning in Washington. The children were five to a section, and there were times when as many as four would go to sleep at one time, but never when it was unanimous! Every time the train would stop, the cne or two who were awake would wake up all the rest; they would look out the windows; they would talk to the people on the platform, and then remember that they were terribly thirsty, and have to run to the dress- ing room to get a drink of water; and this kept up until five-thirty in the morning, and at six, it was nec- essary to get up. The man of the party rather dreaded the expressions that he ex- pected to find on the faces of the other passengers, and wanted to hurry and get off the train before the rest of the passengers waked up, but could not do it; and now he’s glad he didn’t, because instead of seeing a grumpy set of people whose rest had been disturbed there was a smiling crowd of good natured pullman passengers to wish every child well when they left the train. Even the pullman porter was in a good humor, although the child- ren ate their breakfast in the draw- ing room, and left a good deal of cake icing deeply imbedded in the thick carpet of the drawing room. Everything slipped along on sched- ule; the train arriving in Washington en time and transfer to the Penn- sylvania train being made safely and comfortably. Several of the of- ficials of the Southern road checked up on the party to see that their needs were met, and offered to send telegrams or do anything else to add to the comfort of the party. This is just a habit that the Southern Rail- way seems to have through its ser- vants. ’ The trip from Washington to New York was most interesting. The party of young people had seats in the front of a long passenger car, and it was not long before the other pas- sengers became interested, and gifts of fruit, magazines and chewing gum helped make the morning pass more pleasantly. One good lady who failed to see Flora Mae Newnam or Virginia Cranfill said that the child- ren looked hungry. (She must have seen just the lean ones!), and she gave the man a dollar for a_ set- up for the youngsters, and this fur- nished a half pint of milk apiece and it certainly did taste good to every- body but Charlie Nungezer. Charlie had insisted on drinking three glass- es of water while waiting for the (Continued on Page Four) Page Two BARIUM MESSENGER PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHAN’S HOME JOSEPH B.

We take this method of the many people who sympathized with us in the death of Harvey Lee Wilson. The expressions in _ letters received and words uttered directly have been kind, and have helped us to bear the sorrow. ——P, O: He SOMEBODY FORGETS cf a large city was induced to attend a mission Sunday school, and by and by became a faithful little Christian. He seemed quite settled in his Christ- ian faith, but some one, surely in a thoughtless mood, tried to test or shake his simple faith in God, asking him: “If God loves you, why does_ he not take better care of you? Why doesn’t He tell someone to bring you shoes and a warm coat and better food?” This little fellow thought a mom- ent, then with tears starting in his eyes, said: “I guess He does tell but somebody forgets.” —P. 0. H.— Many of our children are going on vacations now, to spend a short time with relatives and friends. There will be many here who will not re- ceive an invitation for a two week's visit, but we'll give them an outing sometime, somewhere during the sum- mer. It hasn’t been decided yet where they’ll do their week’s camping. Last summer Chimney Rock was the dest- ination. somebedy, —P. 0. H-— We are glad that our friends liked the page of pictures that we used last month in The Messenger. This is our conclusion from the requests that have come to us for additional copies, and also by the expressions received in letters. We’re using some more pictures today, not a full page, but enough to let you see some more of the boys and girls at the Orphan- age. —P. 0. H.— Not long ago we wrote a letter tu most of the Orphanage Secretaries ot the Auxiliaries of the Synod about our financial situation here, endeav- oring to enlist their 100% support. The responses, with a single excep- tion, have been most favorable. Many of the local Orphanage Secretaries are yet to be heard from, but a reply comes almost every day. We hope we will receive a 100% response. Oo. H.— The Sunday Schools of the Synod are being challenged to see how many meals could be served the Barium children by their gifts during one month. It costs on an average of ten cents per meal per person at Barium. That seems a mighty small amount, doesn’t it? If every Presbyterian in the Synod, not merely the Sunday Schools members, would give one meal to a child at Barium each month of the year, our financial situation would be revolutionized. —P. 0. H.— In our Messenger this month we have endeavored to give you some idea of that trip to New York with ten youngsters of Barium. But the half wasn’t told in the account. If every individual in the Synod could have been the party taking those 10 children, then, and then only, could a complete conception have been ob- tained as to what it meant for these five boys and five girls to have the opportunity of spending two weeks in the largest city of America and then two months in a summer encamp- ment in New York state. —P. 0. H— Most encouraging at Barium since the beginning of the new church year are the increases which have been noted in gifts from many of the Sun- day Schools and also the addition of other Sunday Schools which are now devoting one Sunday’s offering a month to the Orphanage. That is mighty fine. Our hope is that in- thanking | come a habit. It’ll be a habit that we will adore. Regular gifts from the church budgets, however, have been unusually small, and this fact is off- setting the encouragement of the above. —P. 0. H.— 4 We hope that the treasurer of every organization in the Synod of North Carolina will read, and read carefully, the “Open Letter” directed to them on the front page ef this issue of The Messenger. If you, as an individual, were fully aware of the facts as we are at the Orphanage, then you would say what has been written in that open letter was cx- pressed in mild phraseology. Barium does not want to be selfish in this matter of giving, but when money is contributed by the people for Bar- ium’s sole use and it does not all come to us, it is not fair to the giver, aside from the fairness to the Or- phanage. —P. 0. H.— While only one individual in the Synod used to blank on the front page of the last issue of The Messen- ger, authorizing us to draw a draft upon him each month, yet there were several who responded with personal gifts, which we hope will be sent reg- ularly. The draft was suggested be- cause we thought it would simplify the giving for the individual, but if a person wants to mail us a_ check every month we positively have no ob- jections to this manner of contribu- tion. We hope our individual friends who responded in June will duplicate this in July and other months of the year when their financial situation allows it. —P. 0. H.— The moving pictures of Barium are being used quite frequently during the summer, though the showing of them during the vacation time will not be comparable to the frequency of their display in the fall. Gne of the circles of the First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro saw them in June, they were shown at a chautau- qua at Jefferson on July 8rd, and -vill appear before the Auxiliary of the Durham First Church on July 17th. We're glad of the opportunity of carrying the message of Barium to our friends in this manner. Our own equipment has been purchased now, and we won’t be concerned with the worry of whether we can borrow the necessary equipment when requests for their showing arrive. —P. 0. H.— We hope our readers wiil take note of the fact that Barium is still at the top when compared with 44 other orphanages in the two Carolinas. tlowever, we must share honors vrith another institution this time. We haven’t been able to increase our rating, while another one tied Rar- lum and = still another is only one point behind these two. We’ll do all we can to raise our 956 points closer to the 1,000-point standard. You can help with your gifts. We consider ourselves fortunate to main- tain our last year’s level in the face of financial circumstances, and we'd regret mightily to let some other or- phanage take the lead. It is also worthy of note that Barium made this rating even though the per cap- ita cost is not as high here as at some other orphanages. —P. 0. H.— A card was received from a minis- ter a few days ago saying that the mailing list sent him of his church membership was so out of date that he was sending an entirely new list to replace it. That card has been duplicated several times since the revision of the mailing list was un- dertaken. It gives you an idea of the task ahead of revising a list that contained 17,000 names at the start. We hope to complete the _ revision early in the fall, and are working upon it during spare moments. Th2 co-operation from the ministers and individuals has been fine, and we creasing every month’s gift will be-hope that those pastors which have Barium Messenger — July 1933 lists in their possession at the presen: moment will revise and return them at the earliest convenience. The goal is one copy, and only, in every Pres- byterian home of the Synod. Individ- uals have saved us _ considerable money by notifying us of duplica- tions. We are still in a _ receptive mood for such notifications. —P. 0. H.— EXCHANGE 1 PER CAPITA COSTS “Why does it cost 84 cents a day or $25.00 a month to take care of a child at Thornwell? It does not cost thag much to take care of my child.” Mr. Blank. This question sometimes asked and may be more frequently in the minds of friends, These are some of the items that enter into this cost: food, clothing, teachers’ salaries, school books and supplies, medical and hos- pital care, dental care, insurance on the property, upkeep of the property, fuei, laundry expense, salaries for ad- ministrative officers, department heads and matrons. Our average is below a number of better Orphan- ages in North and South Carolina. Buy what did you have in mind when you said it cost you less? Pro- bably you were thinking of food and clothing. Did you count dental ex- penses, and a six-months hospital ex- pense, maybe, and the salaries of teachers (even when the State pays part of the salaries of teachers it -s figured on the per capita), the salary of the mother, and the cost of the auto and truck and the new roof m the house and the rebuilding of the steps and yard fence and the win- ter’s fuel and the electric current and the water, and the loss of the ilk cow that died and the mule that had its leg broken and the valuable roost- er that died or was stolen, ete., etc., ete.? These and other possible items enter into the per cap.ta cost of a child at Thornwell. There are two mighty important considerations always before our minds. The first is the type and char- acter of the work we are doing. Is .t efficient? Is it up to a high stand- ard cf care? The friends of Thorn- well want a good type of care and tiaining. In the second place, we are con- cerned about costs. The per capita was ten cents less in 1932 than in 1931. It is evident it will be less this year than last.—Thornwell Orphan- age Monthly.

SIMPLE REMINDERS Continued from page 1 be substituted for the first poster on the day that the contribution is taken. Not all of the posters have been mailed out, for an excess supply was printed in the hope that many of the Sunday Schools in the Synod would join the brigade of those which now give to Barium each month. Neither were posters mailed to Sunday Schools in Albemarle Presbytery be- cause a special committee at New Bern is working all the.territory in that Presbytery and officials here ar2 awaiting receipt of a list of “con- tact” persons in each church before the posters are sent. Some Sunday Schools offer the ar- gumernt that their membership is small and that their offering would not amount to much. That may be true, but if they would pause to con- sider that their monthly offering, plus that of a hundred other Sunday Schools of the same size in the Synod, would make an unusually large total for the Orphanage, then they would set aside one Sunday each month for this institution and thereby contri- bute their part to its support and alleviate, to a considerable extent, the financial worries that beset the authorities here throughout the entire year. The goal of Barium officials is to have every Sunday School contribut- ing each month. It is encouraging that many more are making this monthly offering for Barium aow than ever before, but there are still many which have not aligned them- selves with this program. Not long ago we received a sound word-thrashing from one of our church treasurers. Prior to his latest letter, he had stated that it was not necessary to send a receipt, but this was so rare it no doubt was _inter- preted here that he was undoubtedly joking. In that, we were wrong, plenty wrong, as shown by what he wrote: “Enclosed check for May from . Cancelled check will be our receipt. The first check I sent you was ac- companied by letter requesting you not to acknowledge our checks by letter. Reason is that “t is added expense for the or- phanage and surely you want to cut out all these unnecess- ary things when it will mean so much in a year’s time. Returnce checks will clear my books and we know that anything we send dewn that way is appreciated without these letters that tuhe t'me and postage, both of which are expensive. If there is iny reason why you should reply to these checks please tell me of this. If not, please grant me this request, although you may not care for suggestions froin outside about ways to sare money that could be used to bet- ter advantage.” Our fingers were itching to pick out words of rejoicing and commen- dation to that treasurer for his thoughtfulness in thinking of this and mak.ng the suggestion. We felt like replying, “Brother, you are a man after our own heart.” But we didn’t write and acknowledge that check or thank him for his suggestions. We were almost overcome, anyway. We certainly do not mind wri‘irg letters of acknowledgement. But this treasurer is correct in his statement that “we know anything we vend down that way is appreciated.” It is appreciated more than we could ever amply express. But if we didn’t make personal acknowledgements to many of the gifts that come to Bar- ium there would be a howl raised that could be heard over in Appalachian Synod, down South Carolina’s way, or up in the Virginia Synod. And, in some instances, the giving would be discontinued. This particular treasurer sends us a check every month, and sometimes oftener. Even foregoing a monthly acknowledgement to him alone will save Barium Springs 36 cents on postage, besides the time and paper used. We make approximately 5,000 personal acknowledgements of gifts a year. We'll let you do the figuring. Then you might multiply your results by ten years to see what this saving would be. In contrast to this is a request in many letters that accompany the gifts: “Please receipt and return” After the “Open Letter” to treas- urers of all organizations had been written for The Messenger this month, we received a letter from an Orphanage Secretary which more than justified the penning of this letter. Here’s the quotation (and cap- ital letters used were words that the Secretary underscored) and is in reference to clothing money given by a Men’s Bible Class: “I was surprised and disap- Pointed to find out that they had discontinued thetr special du- nations, BECAUSE THE CHURCH DID NOT GET CRE- DIT FOR THE MONEY IN THEIR BENEVOLENT CAUSES!” It seems that this has been a “bone of contention” for many years: the failure of the orphanage to credit the church with the money sent for clothing. The reason has been that many organizations send clothing in- stead of money, and there’s no way of crediting the former with a mone- tary donation. But it did rather ap- pall us to read in that letter that this Bible Class had discontinued its giving solely because the church did not get credit for the $30.00 a year it sent. What is an earthly credit to the credit which the Lord is giving in His books? But send the money on. We'll cre- dit it. We feel sure that those organ- izations which send clothing wil! not be so concerned over their failure of being able to add this to their bene- volent total. With clock-like regularity, the following is received at Barium each month: “Enclosed find check for $50. Please do not mention name pub- licly, privately, or in any way, and oblige.” This is an individual who cares not ene whit for credit, but one who is doing big things for us throughout the entire year. It is $600 that he sends us regularly, and at Thanks- giving it’s more than that. He doesn’t even want his name ever mentioned privately, let alone in a public man- ner. His name will be on a roll cf honor that’s not prepared by human hands. This also recalls to our minds a friend of the Orphanage who author- ized us over ten years ago to draw a draft upon him for $20 every month until further notice. No notice has Ollapodrida, Or What Have You? | ever been received to discontinue this, and he’s regularly given $240 a year. We also know that he is a liberal contributor to the Thanksgiving Of- fering through church channels. How many letters have been written him to express our appreciation of it? Ilardly more than a half-dozen, but he knows, without our voicing our gratefulness each month, that we are thankful for his interest and his -on- tribution. Back in November, a check was re- ceived from one of our Sunday School treasurers, and at the close of his accompanying letter this was found: “It was requested of me hy —_———_———— that [ should ask you why we dd not get credit for our contribution in the Barium Messenger like all of the other Sunday Schools. We would like to hear from you con- cerning this matter.” The answer to that was simple. We hadn't received any recent con- tribut.ons from that Sunday School se that we could publish them ir The Messenger. This treasurer generally waited until the funds accumulated and then sent us a check. As an evi- dence of this, we haven’t received a g.tt from this particular person since that November contribution, and our reply to him wasn’t expressed iu the cryptic language used above. We’re not infallible at the Orphanage, not by any means and we make plenty of errors, but in nine cases out of ten or perhaps more, the gift is recorded n our paper when it is received. As an example of _belatedness, cons.der the following letter which arrived at Barium within the past two months: “The records of the secretary of this Sunday School disclose that on November 27, 1932 a special Thanksgiving offering was taken for Barium Sprinys, and the amount of this offering has never been rem‘tted to vou. I herewith enclose check for the amount of this offering, to-wit, $7.04. “There has recently been foun i in the files of the treasurer an envelope containing $5.00, marked ‘Barium Springs Orphan- age from Ladies’ Auxiliary, 7- 3-32.’ I am also enclosing check for $5.00 to cover this item. I have no record or independent recollection about how this money happened to be in my le.” This is only one instance of many letters like this that we receive-—let- ters enclosing an offering that was given months ago for Barium and is received almost a year later. We can not help but wonder if there are other funds that belong to the insti- tution but which still remain in the hands of the treasurers. In the above, it was not the fault of the new treasurer, but of the one that pre- ceded him. Don’t hold up the money when it’s given to the Or, hanage. We are in desperate need and wish that every treasurer would make a resolution to send the contribution on to us the day after it is given. There are also many cases when the treasurer does not carefully read the contributions recorded in ‘The Messenger, and if two gifts are re- ceived from different departments of that church the same month, their failure to look diligently causes con- fusion and misunderstanding. For in- stance the following letter came: “I ask for a little informa- tion in regard to the 23¢ which is made mention of in The Mes- senger and why we do not see a larger amount in the paper. I have sent the dues several times and have not seen any credit in the paper for it. I am sure you must have overlooked the fact and I know you do not mean to let it go that way. Please let us know ‘n regard to this and we will appreciate it so much.” The explanation was simple. One amount, 23c, was received from the church and the Auxiliary had also sent $6.00 that same month. If this treasurer had read more carefully, she would have found her gift prop- erly recorded. We even went so far as to check back through our Messen- gers, and found that the last several gifts had been listed. We plead with the treasurers to be positive that their gift isn’t listed be- fore they write. We don’t mind clari- fying such matters when we are in error, but it costs us another postage stamp and some time and effort to substantiate what is actually true. There is one request which accom- panies almost every gift that we re- ceive from one treasurer. It’s this: “Please see that this amount is shown in The Barium Messen- ger.” When that request originally came, we checked back through a year’s file of Messengers, and found that the gift from this organization had been recorded every time. We thought maybe the last one had been overlooked through error, but when we found it there we took the trouble to go through eleven other Messen- gers. It’s confusing to get these con- tinuous requests, for we think we’ve omitted the gift, but to date that (Continued on Page Four) July 1988 All Work And No Play Makes Jack And Jill | Barium Messenger = je l De r a ad , i ee ee ) 7 Dull People Page | Three ot at hs ec t l l i e a n t i e od a in Fa ca l l i n ca e ce l ee al l l di a n . . . ht . a ee a ee er ee e oe oe ee ee ee ee : NEWS FROM VARIOUS COTTAGES BABY COTTAGE We have been having good times since the vacation started. We put on our play suits most every morning and run down to our play ground to have some fun. We had our first dose of swimming last week and oh, boy it certainly did feel fine. We have a big electric victrola. It was given by one of our kind friends. Mr. Johnston had it put in the din- ing room so that everybody cculd hear it while they were eating and would think that they were eating ice cream and cake. Mr. and Mrs. Grier took us to ride and we had a real good time. Mama Girt went to Maxton and Fayetteville the first week school was out. She spent two weeks in those two places. We felt lonesome while she was away, but were real fortun- ate to have Miss McKenzie with us one week and Mrs. Holton the other. Miss McKenzie is at the Worid’s Fair in Chicago now. We know that she is enjoying it. She sent us a card of one of the large buildings. Mrs. Holton is now in Winston- Salem with her daughter. One of our big sisters, Iris Spen- cer, went to the Davidson Youns People’s Conference and stayed a week. She had lots of good _ times. Leone East, one of the girls from the Woman’s Building, came over to stay with us while Iris was away. Leone was with us all of last year, so we know she felt very much at home. The first members of the Baby Cottage to leave were Mabel and Myrtle Weddington. They went home to stay and we miss them lots. Roy Lewis, another little boy from the Baby Cottage, went on his vacation for two weeks, but we are looking for him to return soon. Other meim- bers of our cottage are planning to go on their vacations soon. Lily, Jean and Ann McDonald en- joyed a visit from their father and grandfather. Mabel Billings also from her daddy. Some visitors from Gastonia came to see us last week. We like for vis- itors to come to see us, and hope that they will come again some time soon. Mr. Jackins and the dairy boys surely have been nice to make ice- cream once a week for the dining room. It tastes mighty good on hot days. Mr. Steve Culbreth, one of our kind friends from Statesville, came to see us twice. The first time he brought a box of chewing gum, and the last time two boxes, so we’ve been hav- ing a stick of gum just about every day. We like for Mr. Culbreth to visit us and we hope he will come more often. Mr. Thomas and the truck farm boys have been bringing peaches and had a visit apples right up to our back door. We| thank them. Betty John Foust and her Aunt Fannie went to Graham to spend their vacation. We miss them lots, es- pecially Betty because she was one of our little playmates. We are delighted to have little Nellie Pearl Lucas live at the Baby Cottage. She is just four years old. Amos Hardy had friends from Mooresville to visit him for a short We hope everybody will have a nice vacation. —The Babies. a HOWARD Vacation time is here and three of our girls have gone on vacations to date. We went with Miss Woods, our matron, to her home Saturday night. She remained for the week-end. While she was away, Lorena Clark, one of cur former girls who is now a stu- dent at Flora Macdonald, was our matron. We are enjoying the peaches and apples that Mr. Thomas and his boys are bringing to us from the orchards. Everybody appreciates the victro- la that Mr. Preyer, of Greensboro. sent to the Orphanage. The swimming pool feels good these hot days. Three of our girls went to the birthday table this month. They were Alice Jones, Bertha Mae McKee and Doris Smith. Our matron, Miss Woods, was also a guest at that table. We were invited a few weeks ago ito the Playhouse in Statesville to see Buck Jones and Barbara Weeks in “Sundown Rider”. These invitations are greatly appreciated by the How- ard girls and all of the children at Barium. RUMPLE HALL We are enjoying the vacation days. A number of the girls are away now, visiting either relatives or friends. Those who have gone are Eva and Cleo Sluder, Margaret Hendrix, Bob- bie Marlowe and Hazel Miller. Edna Marlowe and Marie Wedding- ton have gone home to stay. We hope they will be very happy. We are having lots of fun going in swimming these hot days. One of our good friends sent us some ice cream and we had an ice cream party. It was delightful on a | hot night. We have a victrola in our dining room now, a gift from a friend. We enjoy the music and appreciate she gift. Sunday, June 25th, we had Dr. Siler from Davidson to preach for us. We hope he will come again for we enjoyed his message.

Well, we do not find time hanging heavy on our hands at all. The big girls disappear almost entirely. In addition to the senior class going out, most of the junior girls are away all sum- mer too. They are working at various jobs, to make a little money and to get a little experience against the time twelve months from now when it will be necessary to get a sure enough job for keeps. Ag we write this, Cathryn Norman is in Washington, D. C. Margaret Pittman in Durham; Helen Briley, Kinston; Helen Wood, in Philadel- phia; Myrtle Johnson in Hickory: Greensboro; Lois Mott in Kannapolis; all working or looking for work. Only four tenth grade girls are here at the present time, and they are kept fairly busy doing the work that in the winter time is shared by and eleventh grades. li is true that our sewing room is closed, and school dees not have to take up any time, but there is plenty to do besides. Howard cottage youngsters are busier than at any time in the year. Corn has to be shucked, beans strung, peas shelled, and a lot of it every day. There is another job that comes along about this time of year that keeps lots of the girls busy, avd that is picking chickens. Whenever body says “chicken dinner” they im- mediately think of pulling bones, good old yellow gravy, drum sticks, and everything nice, and that is the way it is to most everybody; but the girls that have to prepare the meals think of picking 80 chickens for just one meal, and that’s a lot of feathers! We usually raise about 800 frying- sized chickens, and that gives us a good many dinners for the whole dining room, besides birthday din- ners and such. The girls all like rabbit dinners better, because the boys prepare the rabbits all but the cooking, and the rabbits are so much more accommo- dating. They give up their fur coats just by turning them wrong side out, whereas, a chicken has to be picked one feather at a time! The boys’ jobs are certainly plen- Margaret Brooks, the tenth any- | | i | | | | ‘ . : ec ae tees | with which they jump into tiful right now. Alfalfa has been cut lwould never think that feathers are? It’s the fuzz on peaches. If you don’t believe it, look up your “Two Black Crow” records and play them again. The truck farm boys are all irri- tated; they set out their sweet pota- to plants, and the weather turned so dry that a good many of them had to be set over. The watermelons are looking awfully puny also, on account of the dry weather; and the Irish potatoes have just folded up and quit. Somehow the boys do not seem very blue about that, because gather- ing Irish potatoes is one jeb that does not seem to be very popular. How- ever, the beans are growing fast enough to satisfy the beetles and al- so give us &@ meal every once in awhile. Tomatoes and other things too. The truck farm crew cleared up a lot of new land this year, and are having their hands full this summer looking after it. Our college students are all work- ing. Letha Copeland and Lorena Clark from Flora Macdonald are assistant matrons, and are allowing our regular matrons to take their va- cations, one or two at a time. Ben Fort is taking a summer school course at Davidson, carrying out his plan to graduate with the class of 34, taking his entire college course in three years with two summer leourses. A. J. Potter and Lee West are working in Statesville, with the Statesville Cotton Mills. Paul Pitt- man and Joe Johnston are trying to drum up boys for a camp. If they are not successful, plow handles are staring them right square in the face. The other boys are distributed over the farm and other work at Barium. Herman Clark is helping Mr. Thomas in the orchards. Mr. Thomas lost al- most all of his boys of any size by graduation. Charles Fort is helping Mr, Clark in the truck farming. Jul- ian West, Albert Cumbie, John Lee, j. B. Lee, Charlie Sears, and Sam Bernardo are expert threshers, Lar- vesters, or What-have-you. Werk takes up about ten hours of the day, but that still leaves several hours of daylight. The spare time for the girls is usually spent in the swim- ming pool. The beys patronize the pool also, but not as much as they patronize the baseball diamond and tennis courts; and you can see games going from 6:30 till slap dark at both places; and to see the enthusiasm it, you they had syne time, also the clover. Whe ts * one time, also the clover. Wheat, oats done a day’s work before starting the and barley have been harvested, and we are right now threshing. We have our threshing outfit, and this job lasts about ten days. We have an extra big crop this year. This is all sort of extra work, be- cause corn planting and corn cuiti- vation has to go right along. Also, about one day in the week, one of the tractors has to be used to grind corn, oats and barley for dairy and hog feed. Then, just a little while back, there was quite a job shearing sheep. This took up so much time that several nights had to be used. The orchard boys are busy clean- ing up strawberry patches, and gath- ering fruit. Spray time is over, but there’s plenty of other things to be done too. They are, in addition to looking after the orchards, planting a good many tomatoes for canning time. It does not look like our peaches will be plentiful enough to do muck canning this year. However, we hope to eat enough peaches to make the goober feathers grow all over our faces. Don’t you know what goober NEW YORK TRIP (Continued from Page One) milk. In Philadelphia, just as soon as the train stopped, we looked out of the windows, of course, and there stood Helen Wood and her mother, and we thought we were back in Barium Springs. Helen knew that we were to pass through Philadelphia that morning, and she took a chance on_ seeing them, and just happened to get on the platform at the exact place that our car stopped. Helen gave us 4 fresh supply of chewing gum, and we were all set then, for New York, where we arrived about 12:30, or 1:30 day-light saving time. Mr. Gould and Mr. Moen met us, and took us immediately to an Auto- mat for our dinners. It was the rush hour at noon, and more people than anybody ever saw at one time out- side of New York, but in spite of all that everybody got plenty to eat, and then we started out in the bus to go somewhere. All of the men folk stopped at the Yankee Stadium to see the Athletics and Yankees play a game of baseball. The girls went on to the Bronx camp. The boys got to see a great game of ball and got to shake hands with Jimmie Foxx, Groves, Earnshaw and Cochran. Then, they went to camp. The next day tle boys took in the Metropolitan Museum, and another ball game, and this time they got to speak to Babe Ruth, Johnnie Allen, Earl Combs, Dickey, and some others on the New York team. The boy that did the introducing was Johnnie Al- len, an old Mills Home boy who is a member of the New York team. Earl Combs took a great fancy to Miller Blue and Tom Morgan.

The kitchen and dining room girls have, in addition to their regular all-year work, a battle on flies, and they ere certainly to be coramended on keeping these pests cown.

The following Tuesday, however, the children from Connie Maxwell arrived, and during the next two weeks, all of the southern chi!d- ren came up; and then on the 17th everybody packed up and went out to Windham, New York, Howell's Fresh Air Camp, the same place that the party spent the summer last year. And now we get an occasional jetter from these youngsters. We hope to publish two of them in this same issue, but you wili have to wait for further details except that in the letters until they come home in the fall. OLLAPODRIDA (Continued from Page Two) Sunday School contribution has ap- peared regularly in The Messenger. Nowadays we classify the regular gifts under “Churches, Sunday Schools, Auxiliaries, and Young Peoples’ Societies.” Be sure you've looked through ail of these before writing us. In conclusion, we may state that we have cited only a few instances of the various types of cases that have been recorded. We’re not com- plaining.

Barium M essenger AN OPEN LETTER (Continued from Page One) Along about the same time we we had the entire Thanksgiving offering from a church taken last fall. It seems ridiculous to ask our people to contribute to Barium when money that they contribute is handled so thought- lessly. We venture to say that right now there is enough money which has already been collected, ‘ut which és being handled about be- tween various treasurers, to get us out of our terrible money need at this moment. When the bank holiday came in March, all of the February gifts, and some of the Janua-y contributions which had been sent through Presbytery treas- urers, was held up. Some of it is still held up, and we just seem helpless to do anything about it. Isn't it possible for every local treasurer to get this firmly in his or her head? WHEN A CONTRIBUTION IS MADE FOr BARIUM SPRINGS, SEND 1) DIRECTLY TO BARIUM SPRINGS AND SEND IT IMMEDIATELY. You cant get it here too quick. There isn’t any need for it to go through any other treasurer. It increases the time it takes to get it to us, and it increases the hazzards of _ its never getting tous. If you don't believe it is a hazzard in pass- ing it from person to person, and bank to bank, just come and look at our books and let us show you the lovely collection of checks that reached us ‘00 late to be cashed. We can not understand why this whole business is not plain. The orphanage rece‘ves less than half of its entire support through the budget of the church. The balance must come frem special offerings. Now, if you want to, go ahead and sena the budget part to the treasurers of the Presbyteries, but please do not send SPECIAL COL- LECTIONS that way. They are not intended for anybody but us. If it is credit you want, we will even put your picture in The Messenger alongside of the ac- knowledgement of the contribu- tion, but please get the contribu- tion to us! Most treasurers of the Pres- byteries are good men. They send it in to us promptly, and by that we mean that they don’t slow it up but ONE month. You send it to them the first day of June and they send it to us the tenth of July; and that is as fast as you can expect the sys- tem to work. And most treasur- ers do this. There are some how- ever, that are not that good. One of our largest Presbytery treasurers never sends us a check unless we get in behind it, and push it, and two checks a year is the most we get from that particular Presbytery treasurer. Now, when we wrote you in June asking you to please do something for us, to throw us a lifesaver as we are about to drown, we {magine it would ir- ritate you if you knew that that money was not going to reach us until possibly December. We don’t know its effect on you, but we do know its effect on us. We get very much steamed up over it! But there is one thing an or- phanage man must never do: He must never lose his temper. We saw a cartoon once of a man who was slightly lit up, saying that if he ever sot to be the president of the United States, he was going right down to a certain place and hit a man in the face. Well, we at the orphanage may feel the same way, 80 that if we ever get to be president of the United States or king of Siam, or something like that, we will just up and tell folks what we think of ‘em, but in the meantime, we smile and plead: “Please don’t be careless with the money that people give to Barium. Send it to us. It isn’t yours. It becomes the Lord's when dedicated to one of the causes that we know is close to His heart.” “Did you miss that train, sir?” asked the porter “No!

In Old Testament days, that was the method of giving, for it was said the people brought together the fruits of the land, and when money has been sv scarce, it would be an easy way to make a thanksgiving offering to the Lord for all that He has done. Vhen a church earnestly adopts the idea, others become interested. This was amply testified to in the Buffalo Church’s experience, for when a fertilizer concern heard of the plan they asked for a statement, and on the basis of it they contr*hut- ed a ton and a half of fertilizer to the cause. And, as some have express- ed it, “It just seems as if that iand which is given for the Lord’s work yields a larger return than any other in our possession.” There are hundreds of rural churches in North Carolina. In Fay- etteville Presbytery alone there are 75 rural churches. What a revolution in giving would happen if every rural community in the Southern Presby- terian Church adopted this plan!

In other words 1,172 more meals could have been served the children here | by the Sunday Schools last month. a That would have served meals t« full day to the 300 boys and enrolled at Barium, and most of them could have been given breakfast, too, en another day. With meals at Barium averaging around ten cents per meal, it would take an offering of $2700.00 a morth from the Sunday Schools of the North Carolina Synod to serve a full ronth’s meals. That’s the goal, and ‘et it is a goal that can be attained if every Sunday School will set aside one month’s offering to Barium and concentrate upon making that par- ticular offering the largest of any during the month. The tota! can not iump to $2700.00 overnight, nor in a month or two, but it is believed here that it can be eventually attained. If you are a Sunday School super- intendent and haven’t presented this to your Sunday School, do so on the Sunday prior to the next offering, recall it to their attention on the day the offering is taken, and watch the results. The tabulation on the Sunday |Schools, given during July, as com- \pared with June, has many evidences successfulness of this ob- jective, and with a universal pres- entation every time an offering is taken for Barium, results will be fully evident. You set the goal for your partic- ular Sunday School. If the offering was $20.00 last time, set the goal at 300 meals the next Sunday an offer- ing made for Barium. You know the abilities of your Sunday School, and your judgment of a goal wuld is be better than that of any official on the Barium campus.

GOMPARATIVELY SMALL NUMBER ORGANZHTINS GONTRIBUTE. MONTHLY Report at End of First Five Months hows That 369 Organizations Gave DIVISION GIVEN Less Than One-Third of Organ- ized Groups Have Taken Part According to the 1933 Minutes of the General Assembly there are 459 organized churches within the North Carolina Synod, which does not in- clude numerous mission points and Sunday Schools conducted under the auspices of many churches, Credence and understanding can be given to the Orphanage financial difficulties when it is announced that only 122 of these 539 churches have contri- buted to Barium this year througa the regular church budget. On top of this startling statement is the announcement that only 150 of the Sunday Schools of the Synod, which are greater in number than the churches, have sent in a regular contribution to the support of Bar- ium, and only 105 of the almost 200 Auxiliaries of the Synod have made a financial report during the first five months of the church year. Nine young people’s groups have had a financial part in the regular support of Barium. In other words, there are well over 1500 organizations in the churches of the North Carolina Synod, and 396 of these have sent contributions to Barium. Elsewhere in The Messen- ger is an article showing that no organization in 297 churches has sent anything to Barium, which means that half of the North Caro- lina churches are bearing the support of this institution. Listed below are the organizations which have sent money to Bariuin this year. It is being published so that you, personally, can check your organization. Undoubtedly there have been funds contributed by other organizations, but the treasurers are holding these until they accumu. late. Please don’t do that. Barium needs the money and needs it badly. in next month’s issue of The Messen- ger will be p@plished additional or- ganizations that report gifts in Sep- tember, and it is hoped that the to- tal is going to mount rapidly until almost a universal monthly suppert comes to the institution from every organization. Below is the tabulation of the number of organizations in each Presbytery which have made contri- butions to Barium since the new church year started: “© 9.6.6 6 © © 6.6 6 0.6 2.0 © + 2 0.0.0 020: 4% aseptic renpapguaepanemmanal’ 1 - 3° = i 3 Wi ‘ - . * ° 7 o* * - - = &= New ministers and elders at- {6 e§ tending Synod for the first time # fs are apt to come away shocked * : ; : ° ¢ at the proceedings and discuss- 4° ss ions. The North Carolina Synod s* has always been noted as being . * . ef an argumentative bedy, as well +3 S as a deliberative one. Of fate % 3 years, it has seemed to enjoy 3, its arguments all the more. ss sot may be that meeting three st years in suecess’on in colleges instead of churches, has had something to do with the change of atmosphere. Synod ceriainly showed — its wisdom this year in selecting a college professor as Moderator. He knew better how to make ’em behave in the college atmos- phere than a minister, who is more used to the pulpit. However, Synod did seem to get tegether on one thing, and that was to get solidly behind the business of putting over the the Orphanage. Two recommen- dations were adopted, (1) urg- ing every Sunday School to de- vote one Sunday’s offering a month to Barium, and (2) urg- ing the putting over of the Thanksgiving campaign. The Sunday before Thanksgiving is clear of all other causes, so that this day, as well as Thanksgiv- ing ean be used to bring the Orphanage to everyone. We bel-eve thay if the church- es fo.low previous recommenda- tions and the latest two, and that if the Orphanage is con- selientiously presented at Thanksgiving, we can continue to function. « ee ee aete ee ee ee ee eee ee eee eee eee Oe HALF-DOZEN SHOWS OF BARIUM LM ARE SCHEDULED THIS MONT Demand For Orphanage Movies Is Perceptibly Growing ‘This Fall With the fall season at hand, and the members of many congregations returning from their vacations, the gemand for the moving pictures of Barium) are increasing.

We editoria- lized about this at some length, and thought at the time that a definite change had occurred in the financial trend at the Orphanage. But alas! We must necessarily revert to _the doleful expressions of the previous months, for the income during Aug- ust failed to measure up to that of August, 1932, and our enthusiasm and hopefulness have been curbed. For the entire month of August, we were $273.86 behind the same — 2 6 2 oe 33 = a5 »2 ‘5 es 2E os s™ mae aus S » = a 2 23 Es fs 3.

July receipts had gone ahead to the amount of $471.24, but this advance was far from sufficient to wipe out the first quarter decline from the Synod of over $3,000.00. To date, the Orphanage has received exactiy $3,402.51 less than it did for the ‘rst five months of the 1932-33 fiscal year.

All but ten of the 301 children at Barium are in school, and these are too young to attend. There were only a few changes in the faculty, except for curtailment in number, but the oper- ation under state school support re- quired numerous alterations. Formal opening exercises were conducted in the auditorium on Mon- day morning at 10 o'clock, w-th Rev. | B. E. Morris, pastor of the Western Avenue Baptist Church, as the speak- er. T. L. O’Kelley, head of the locai schools presided, and after the child- ren had recited in unison the First Psalm, Rev. W. C. Brown, local pas- tor, led in prayer.

This statement is based on a comparative review of the two months’ reports as they appeared in The Messenger, and does not include those Sunday Schools which report quarterly or two months at a time. Some of the latter were larger than the last quarterly remittance, but this article is confined only to those that reported monthly gifts for July and August.

It is that amount which would serve all of the meals at Bar- ium, and the boys and girls, the men and women of the Sunday Schools have been challenged to do this. The August total from the Sunday ols would have served 3,813 more meals than the receipts during of the Since May the ource uninterruptedly goal of $2700 a more july, which is equivalent to almost our more days’ meals, three times 1 day. However, this amazing in- ‘rease over July was, in a large measure, due to a special gift of $268.05, but even after subtracting this, it is found that the Sunday Schools would have served over a thousand additional meals. What is more remarkable about the giving of the Sunday Schools is that only 130 of them are giving regularly. Just think what it would mean if every Sunday School was following the plan of devoting one Sunday’s offering each month to the Crphanage and sent that in regular- ly! This plan has Synod’s approval, and yet there are hundreds which are not following it out. Many of them wait until the end of the year, and then apportion what’s left over aiter xpenses to the various causes. Elsewhere in this issue of The Messenger is a list of those Sunday which gave more during August than in July. With the suim- mer time vacations ended, the Sep- tember totals should increase almost universally. The amount from each Sunday School will be watched to see whether it increased or decreased, und it is hoped that the former will overwhelmingly predominate.

H.— Congratulations to the Sunday Schools for the splendid manner in which they are responding to ‘he challenge extended them to serve meals to the Barium children. July receipts from this source showed an increase, and there was likewise an increase in August. The latter in- cluded an excellent special gift, which is going to make the challenge particularly strong in September for the Sunday climb toward $2700.00 a month, the amount which would be necessary to years ago of sending sums of money as memorials to deceased friends and loved ones, instead of sending flowers to the funeral. Considerable money has been given to the Orphanage in this manner, and they have been fine memorials to the deceased party, who, nine times out of ten, was a staunch supporter of Barium. Here’s a letter that came this month: “Following our custom of long standing, instead of send- ing fNowers we are enclosing Schools to continue the | take care ef this phase of the work. herewith check to be used for the Orphanage in memory of— who passed away this morning.

When the final gift had been re- ceived for 1932-33, it was found that there were 70 churches who hadn't remembered Barium at any time, at Thanksgiving, in spectal contribu- tions, or through regular monthly support. Many take the attitude, “Our gift would be so small that it wouldn’t do any good.” Please dis- card such an attitude. What if sev- eral hundred churches took that viewpoint? It is the small gifts that make up the composite whole. It is 78,000 Presbyterians that are asked tou make the continued operation of Barium possible, and not a Tew thousand of them. Look over the published list.

There is tragedy in that statement, be- cause it means that the usefulness of the Orphanage cannot measure up to the former standard with this notable difference in income from the Presbyterians of the Synod, and also it means that other children, who could be accepted at Barium, are refused because there’s no money to provide for their care, and they thus must forego the opportunities that are offered here. During the first five months of last year, the Synod had average d 18.3 cents per member. This year the average is 14,09 cents, a difference of tour cents per church member, and when this is multiplied by the 78,000 I'resbyterians, it means a goedly cum. We need, up to this time, 50 cents per church member; we have received 14.09 cents. Comparing the standing of the various Presbyteries with the month of August, it is seen that Albemarle Presbytery relinquished her first- place hold, and swapped places with Yinston-Salem Presbytery, which month was third.

Any number of places have already expressed a desire for the film this fall, but it is urged that a definite date be asked for as early as possible so that itineraries can be planned. It is desired to include several churches on a trip that is over 100 miles from the Orphanage, to cut down the expenses and to reach mere people. It is also suggested that each church advertise the showing to the churches in its immediate vicinity or county so that others may have the opportunity of seeing the films.

McConnell, Dav- idson, Elected Moder- ator of the Synod MANY ACTIONS Decide Upon Davidson College #s Scene of Next Session The Synod of North Carolina at its fall meeting in the College for Women of the state university at Greensboro Sept. 5-7, abolished _ its Work Committee, adopted a strong temperance and prohibition resolu- tion, advised Davidson College to make military training optional, made plans for three years of evan- gelism, set up a stated supply com- mittee according to the new chap- ter of the Book of Church Order, and decided to make the meetings of Synod self-entertaining. The meeting was opened by a ser- mon by Dr. R. A. White, retiring moderator of Mooresville, on “The Secret Power of Prayer,” and a lay- man, Dr. J. M. McConnell, dean of teachers and professor «f history at Davidson College was elected moder- ator. The opening service was held in the Church of the Covenant which was joint hostess to Synod. Rev. R. M. Williams is pastor. The fifth annual report of Synod’s Work committee was read and adopt- ted. In this report, Dr. E. E. Gill- espie, executive secretary, reported that he had devoted his time to managing the home mission work, had held 15 evangelistic meetings, visited colleges, and edited The Pres- byterian News, which circulates among pastors and workers. Synod wave him a vote of appreciation. The home missions report by Dr. J. &. Foster, showed $47,955 spent for this work. A popular meeting ior home | missions was held with several speakers from the field. | The budget of Synod was set at $585,000, divided 60-40 between As- ' sembly’s and Synod’s causes. i Claude T. Carr, for 10 years reli- | gious work director, resigned because | of ill health. A committee was ap- pointed to choose a successor. Colleges and schools were reported with good attendance last year and improved prospects for the coming term. Interest in young women and men in state colleges was manifested by Synod. It was anaounced that an annual gift of $1500 was promised by an individual to aid in the support of a pastor at Chapel Hill church where the State University is locat- ed. Miss McGoogan, worker for the Church of the Covenant, and Rev. R. Murphy Williams informed Synod of the wc.’k among the 1500 students at N. C. C. W. where Synod was en- tertained. The schools and _ colleges received $16,641 from the Synod. Synod discontinued’ its committee on a church paper. In abolishing the work committee, Synod was acting on the suggestion and recommendation of the commit- tee itself. The old corimittee was asked to serve another year under jis o.d rules, and a committee to itorm a new plan was appointed as! follows, of which all are ministers: H. M. Moffatt, J. H. Henderlite, J. M. Walker, C. M. Gibbs, C. M. Rich-| a:ds and R. A. White. The plan of permanent committee was chosen as | the guide. The resolution on temperance and prohibition provoked sharp debate, and Synod voted down a_ counter resolution asking for moral suasion only instead of direct assertion against the liquor traffic. The reso- lution, adopted 94 to 65, was presen- ted by Rev. J. C. B. McLaughlin, of Laurel Hill, and is as follows: “We warn our people that we are confronted with the danger of the is an enemy of the church of the liv- ing God. Aicohol is a poison.

GREENSBORO, AST MONTH AL THEE Seven additional churches in September joined the ranks of those 26 listed in the September issue of The Messenger as churches which are contributing to Barium through the three main sources: the church budget, Sunday School and Auxiliary This brought the total to 3, which is even better than that of a year ago. It was, stated in the November, 1932, issue that 32 churches were under this classification, and perhaps there will be many more when the November, 1933, paper is pub- shed. It is realized by officials at Barium that there are many other churches which utilize all three channels to give, for numerous Sunday Schools and Auxiliaries contribute through the church treasurer, and the gifts arrive in a lump sum. The tabulation is hased on the records in the of- fice here, and if the church treas- urers will hereafter designate the orranizations from which these gi ts are sent, a more accurate os‘er can be prepared. The following churches are in this distinguished group: Albemarle Presbytery—Golds- boro, Rocky Mount First. Concord—Cleveland, Prospect, Salisbury First, Salisbury Second, Thyatira. Fayetteville—Mt. Pisgah, Red Springs. Granville—Fuller Memorial, Ral- eigh First, Trinity Avenue. Kings Mount a in—Duncan Creek, Gastonia First, Kings Mountain. Mecklenburg—Caldwell Memor- ial, Steele Creek, Wadesb-ro, Westminster. @range—Alamane, Asheboro, Buffalo (G), Covenant, Graham, Greensboro First, Reidsville, Westminster. Wilm‘ngton—Clarkton, Imman- uel, Mt. Olive. WinSton-Salem—Mocksville, Reynolda, Winston-Saiem First. Gifts from Sunday Schools Climbing Offerings from This Field Are Slightly Ahead of Last Month’s When the article was written for the September issue of The Messen- ser on the August Sunday School contr.butions there was a big ques- tion mark in the mind of the writer as to whether the Sunday Schools would duplicate their August total during the next month. That ques- tion mark has' been thoroughly straightened out until now it is an exe.amation point over the announce- ment that the Sunday Schools’ con- tributions showed another increase for the fifth consecutive month since May. The Sunday Schools gave a total of $1,341.97 to the Orphanage dur- ing the past month, despite the fact that the August amount of $1,323.83 contained a special gift of $268.05. ‘ihe actual increase in September over the previous month was only $18.14, but it was an increase never- theless, and the Sunday Schools de- serve pienty of congratulations for th.s accomplishment. _ it was further gratifying at Bar- ium to observe that additional Sun- day Schools responded with gifts dur sng the past month. The number o. (Continued on Page Four) U0 YOU LIKE THE MESSENGER? for this OR C C EO E OH QWLY THREE DATES ARE WWAILABLE. FUR SHOWING OF MOVIES IN OCTOBER All Other Nights of Month Have Been Arranged for by Many Churches THREE PURPOSES Orphanage Representative Do- ing Other Tasks on All Trips fired, because anyone has quit, or be- cause anyone has gone crazy over trying to make one dollar do the work of two sheckles, but because the moving pictures of the Orphan- age are so much in demand through- out the Synod that one official is ab- ing these about the state to show the friends the inside workings of the in- stitution. In fact, scheduled showings of the Barium movies are as frequent for the month of Oc.ober as the days on which the notes are due. Just look at that schedule and you'll know how of- ten we have to use soft-spoken words with the bankers or creditors. It happens to be the treasurer of the Orphanage who is touring about with the pictures, but the show.ngs are so arranged that he won't be ab- sent from the campus any extensive length of time, for his signature might be needed on additional notes. He doesn’t bother about his signa- ture on checks to be written, for the bookkeeper at Barium is authorized to write checks in his name up to $100, and more often than otherwise, t’s less than that amount in the vank. Maybe your Orphanage treasurer is right glad that h-’s to be away most of this month, for those notes do come due mighty regular-like. Probably we’ll corner him when he comes back from one of these trips and interview him as to how it feels to be free, white and 21 and miss a not hurt your eyes looking for that nterview in the next issue of The Messenger. He'll probably be greeted with enough sad stories on his re- turn to offset the joy and pleasure chat is his in having the opportunity of informing the people more avout che institution There are plenty of opportunities for showing this film, as the sched- ule below will indicate, and hardly a day passes at the Orphanage but that another request arrives.

We have not been able to pay off as regularly as we should and there’s a disgraceful num- ber of checks that are due the different workers at Barium that are still held in our safe, waiting until the time when there will be enough money in the bank to pay those checks, until they “ripen”, to use a slang expression. Now, it may have been my imagination, but I have just thought at times that some of our workers were getting im- patient about that, and _ they ay have heard about the Or- phanage carrying a good deal o. insurance on my life; so that when I remarked at dif- ferent tm:s about getting sleepy on a leng trip, how afraid I was that some day I (Continued on Page Feur) The administrative staff at the Or- | phanage is one less in number nowa- | days—not because anyone has been| sent practically all of the time tak-| day without n@xtng a note.

Some time ego ancther Men’s Class voted to send Barium 50% of all their offering. In the first five months after this decision was made, this Class sent the OQ-phanare $105.43, an average of over $20.00 a month. When the September gift arrived, the -» sirer wrote that the class rected ta supply one meal to che entire Orphanage and thus enclosed a September check for $30.90. There is another Men’s Class which regularly sends $25.00 a month to Barizm, and they have placed in their classroom a spec- ‘al bex in which anyone can give addtional amounts to the Or- phanage. Recently a check for almost $60.00 besides the regu- lar six month’s amount was sent for a half-year’s period from the special offerings in this box. ALMOST HALF No Financial Report of Any Nature from These 248 Quite a number of organizations n various churches of the North Caro'ina Synod made a response to Barium during September, and this has enabled the number of delin- quent churches to be reduced from 297, as listed in the September Mes- senger, to 248, on September 30th. No monetary gift of any sort has been received at the Orphanage in the first half of the church year from any of these 248 churches, which represents almost half of the 339 churches of the Synod. However, the tabulation for Octo- ber, 1933, is slightly better than that prepared for the November, 1932, is- sue of The Messenger, when it was revealed that 257 churchs had made no response. A careful check is be- ing kept at Barium, and when the November copy of The Messenger reaches the readers, it is hoped at Zarium that this number will be sven more greatly reduced.

Those people who have tentatively said they wanted the pic- speak rapidly, dis- tinctly and positively; otherwise, we will not be able to meet your re- quests. The offerings that are being taken for Barium are unusually helpful. The last six places which took offer- ings gave a total of $112.86 to Bar- jum, and if the free-will giving at the other places to be visited is as good, maybe next year we can have a film for every Presbytery and enlist the services of a group in each Presby- tery to visit all the churches. That’s an auspicious thought, and we hesi- tate to think in terms as terribly- sounding as that. These moving pictures trips are actually accomplishing a three-fold purpose. Not only are the films be- ing displayed, but the Orphanage Te- presentative spends — the day-time checking over The Messenger mail- ing list with the pastors or clerks of sessions, and is also taking with him the Thanksgiving envelopes and dis- tributing them to all pastors along the route he follows.

Ollapodrida Continued “Extracts from a letter this month: In The Barium Messenger. 1 see that a great many contribu- tors are asking that no acknow- ledgment of gifts be made. I am not sure that this would be best for us here. Those letters are always read before the Sun- day Schol, for I believe that they stimulate interest, and I rather believe they are worth the trouble and expense. A re- turned check, of course, is its own receipt—but for the pres- ent I would like, it it isn’t too much treuble, that you continue writing the letters. And our reply promptly went back in these words: “By all means, we will continue to write letters in ac- knowledgment to you for all the gifts that come to us from the —— church and its organizations. It is only when we are conscious that our letters are simply laid aside and never read that we desire to elimin- ate this expense of writing in re- ply to checks. But if we know that our letters are used in this manner, we would not discontinue them for anything in the world. Believe it or not, we really enjoy writing the maj- ority of the letters, and particularly so if we know, as in your instance, that they are read before the con- tributors.” The above reply conveys our feel- ings regarding acknowledgments, and if you, as treasurer, are in the habit of reading the replies to your congregation, Sunday School or Aux- iliary, don’t ask us to discontinue our usual procedure. During the past month there were numerous requests that we do not acknowledge. Included was the fol- lowing; “I am sending you a check as a special contribution from the Woman's Auxiliary. You need not go to the expense of a re- ceipt as check will answer. “] hope that @ contribution from our Sunday School may reach you next week (our com- ment: it did) as we took a spec- ial offering Sunday. I think our peopie have a mind to do better by Barium than we did these few last years, and I hope your sit- vation will improve rapidly.” These two amounts totaled more than that church had sent in 1932- 1933, and they were also greater than the total of 1931-1932, We didn’t write the party, but we do take this means of heartily thanking these two organizations for this splendid accomplishment, and their resolu- tion to do even more in the future. We received two checks from a Sunday School treasurer this month. The initial one was the first since May and was for an amount in ex- cess of the last contribution. We re- plied to that. A few days later an- other check arrived from the same Sunday School, and accompanying it was “No receipt necessary.” We had a happy reaction to the first Septem- ber gift, and when another arrived that month, you can well imagine our further joy. But we didn't give vent to our feelings because he had said that it wasn’t necessary. Just a few more instances in which we were asked not to send a receipt included the Sunday School which had made an almost 50% in- crease in its gift over the previous month; a Sunday School treasurer who sent us a regular amount for the first time in quite a while with the statement, “please accept our gift for we are making it a quarterly check instead of no check at all;” and another treasurer who enclosed a postal card upon which we were to make our acknowledgment. And that individual who has been sending us $50.00 a month for a long, long time and who never wants his name revealed in public or pri- vate, said in his last accompanying letter, “There is no need of sending receipts in the future.” We are unusually fond of a treas- urer like the one who wrote the fol- iowing: “] had set $10.00 as the goal today on this collection, so I ask- ed the Sunday School to get a good collection, and then 1 ask- ed our class to make a showing. The Sunday School was short on members, but raised $—, and the Bible Class contri- buted $—, so I went back te the Bible Class for enough to make the $10, and raised it and a few cents more. As— has made me treasurer of this fund I am go- ing to try and send you this amount every month. I am us- ing the posters you sent me and think that they are a great help.” This Sunday Schoo! used to give between five and six dollars a month, and sometimes less, but through the energetic efforts of this particular treasurer, who keenlv feels the re- sponsibility that is his, we’re going to receive $10.00 a month. That is a positive statement, and it is made as such, because we know this treas- urer is going after it. We haven't met him yet, bug when we do, we'll ALUMNI NEWS By Miss Letha Copeland, Editor We have a new Alumni Editor, Miss Letha Copeland, and we want all almuni to send in news items about themselves and _ others, to Miss Copeland.

Later on these same boys were back to see the open- ing football game when Barium played Belmont Abbey; and in addi- tion, Ray Shaffer, James Hannon, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fraley, were also noted among the visitors. Charlie Sears, Lester King, and others of the recent graduates, spend frequent week-ends at Barium. When the Barium football team went to High Point to play the Ral- eigh Methodist Orphanage, Irvin Squires, Guy Jackson, Walter Fraley and Willard Greason were among those present. Five members of the old Barium football teams were on the David- son team which played Carolina September 30th, and lots of Barium alumni were there looking on. Earl Kerley; Rupert Cable; Louise Mce- Millan now Mrs. Pendergraff; and Edna McMillan, now Mrs Woodward were some we saw. You know, sev- eral months ago we announced that Edna was married. We are just now able to announce the name of her husband. Recently we had a visit from Earl and Raymond Dunn. Both of them are getting to be real portly gentle- men. They came to Barium to prop- erly introduce one of their cousins, Douglas Ryder, Jr. to the Orphan- age. Young Douglas is one of the new-comers. Just a few days ago, Luzon Cook, very much grown up and mature- looking since he has commenced to make his own living, made Barium a visit. Howard Keenan, now in one of the Cc. C. C. Camps, dropped around to tell us how enthusiastic he was with his present work. He has been pro- moted again. Mr. and Mrs. John Hunt were on the campus not long ago. We are told that John has a good job and is making good. Nettie Miller, of the class of °32, was married to Mr. Harold Clark, of Statesville, a few Saturdays ago. They were married at the manse at Barium by Mr. Brown. We congrat- ulate them both, and wish them much happiness. We are sure that they could not help but be happy with such a good sendoff. Charles Fort, one of our Davidson college students, was in the dining room Saturday. Although these boys are not far away, we are always glad to see them. Barium is the scene of much ex- citement these days because of the football games, this being one of the high-lights of entertainment here. Our old boys and girls get a little homesick and some of them usually get back for the games. Walter Fraley, Charlie Sears, Paul Pitt- man, all college students, except Walter, attended the Barium-Bel- mont Abbey game, September 22. Marvin Stone, of Statesville, and Sam Bernardo, of Davidson, were present at the Barium-Lexington game, Friday, Sept. 29. The following old boys and girls have been campus visitors recently: _Walter Archer, Marguerite Gas- kill, Clifton Vann, Jim Elliott, Mary Alice Mott, William Murrell, and the two Dunn boys. We did not get much information about these folks and if they would write in and give a few details we are sure that their friends would be interested. Ruth Morrow, who is in training for a nurse at an Asheville hospi- tal, spent a night here during her vacation. We know that she will be a good nurse, James Ladd Fowler, who works for the Printing and Finishing Co. in Rock Hill, S. C., visited us a short while ago. shake his hand a little more cordial- ly and make the grip a little more tighter for the things he is doing for us. During the past month we had some excellent letters from treas- urers of Men’s Bible Classes. Nor- mally, these would be included in this column, but we've cited them on the front page of The Messenger. Read that article for the conclusion of this column this month, and then you'll know that the days have been made brighter and we've been bol- stered up in our feelings because of the things that have been done in our behalf this past month by the interested groups and_ individuals who are setting their hearts and ef- | forts upon a definite goal and are attaining it.

This tab- the basis of the Orphanage, in preparing it entirely accur- ulation was made reports received and it was realized that it would not be ate. mn at at This is true because some treasur- ers send quarterly gifts to Barium. it has been the pleasure of Barium authorities to observe creases in these quarterly gifts, too, but the comparison made entirely with the issue of The Messenger pub- lished immediately prior. In addition to the 29 which are listed today, there were a number of Sunday Schools which sent identical amounts as that of the previous month. In most of these instances, the Sunday Schoo! or Class had de-, cided to appropriate a amount to Barium. You probably re- cognize these, because they appear in the regular tabulation of The Mes- numerous in- senger every month, year in and year out, rain or shine, hot or co'd. It is the hope at Barium that every Sunday School treasurer will adopt the plan of sending their Sun- day School’s gifts every month, a day or two after the offering is made. It -s recognized that this will require a few more cents postage, but the re- ceipt of the amount may make it possible for the authorities here to meet obligations immediately and thus cut down the amount of inter- est that is necessary on notes which must be made because there is no money in the treasury. The following is a roster of the Sunday Schools which increased their Offering, as compared with that of August, insofar as the records at Barium reveal the increases: Belmont; Bethe! (M); Bethesda (F); Buffalo (G); Church-in-the- Pines; Concord First; Front Sreet; Men’s Bible Class, Gas- tonia First; Graves Memorial; Men’s Bible Class, Greensboro First; Hun- tersville; Lakeview; Laurinburg; Little Joe’s; Lincolnton; Long Creek; Marion; Maxton First; Mocksville; Montpelier; Mooresville First; New Bern; New Hope (KM); _Philadel- phus; Men’s Bible Class, Rocky Mt. First; Statesville First; Trinity Ave- nue; Union (KM); Vass; West End. Of the above 29 Sunday Schools or particular classes in Sunday Schools which gave larger amounts this past month, 11 of them were listed as having increased their giving in Aug- ust, meaning that these groups hav® added to the joy at Barium two months in succession. Those 11, which are included above and were also in the September issue of The Messenger are: Bethel (M); Buffalo (G); Concor2 First; Front Street; Men’s_ Bible Class, Gastonia First; Huntersville; Little Joe’s, Marion, Mooresville; First; New Bern and Union (KM).

If you will come to the Baby Cot- tage you can hear our new fine radio which was given us by Mama Girt and some of her kind friends. It certainly is appreciated by all of us, and we thank them very much. Some of the ladies of the Women’s Auxiliary of Unity Church, not far from Davidson, brought us an abun- dant supply of coat hangers for which we are most grateful. Now we can keep our clothes nice. A circus was in Statesville one day not long ago. The circus mana- ger was kind enough to let the Bar- ium children go to it free. Mr. Grier took seven of the larger ones from the Baby Cottage. Those going were telling the others about the good time they had watching the clowns, horses and circus actors. Mr. Grier, we thank you very much for taking } us. Fred Cole had a visit from some of his relatives and enjoyed it very much, Fred’s baby brother cried to} stay at Barium. We would have liked very much to keep him. Mr. Culbreth, with a little friend, ame to see us Sunday. They brought us some compiny—chewing gum— which will keep us mighty busy for a good long while. We hope that Mr. Culbreth and his friend will visit us again soon. John MecGirt, Mama_ Girt’s | son, was on his way to Statesville and High Point last week and he stop- ped at our cottage for about 30 minutes. Dr. and Mrs. J. R. McGregor, of Lexington, came to the Lexington- Barium football game here. They came by the Baby Cottage to see us for a few minutes and brought lots of coat hangers for which we are thankful. We are happy to have Miss Stev- enson, the sixth grade teacher, room at the Baby Cottage. Mrs. Earl McCauley and her little son were here for a few hours Mon- day, October 2nd. Mrs. McCauley was once our kindergarten teacher and we were glad and surprised to see her. Miss Carson, another one of our fomer kindergarten teachers, and her friend from Philadelphia came ~o see us the day that school started. We look torward to their next visit and hope that it will be soon. Mama Girt and Miss Letha Cope- land took us to the spring one Sat- urday afternoon last month. It was a surprise to us. We fried fish and had many other good things to eat. Our guests were Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Brown, Miss Mary Brown, Mr. and Mrs. T. L. O’Kelley and family, Mrs. Purdy, Miss Beattie Lackey, Miss McGoogan and Misses Mildred and Faye Stevenson. Although some ot us fell in the branch and got our clothes wet, and also received some scratches, we all had a fine time. One of our pleasures last week was a ride to Statesville and Trout- man, on which Mama Girt took us. Eight of the babies are planning to give a program at Unity Church, near Davidson, on October 15th. They are very excited over it, be- cause all of them love to give pro- grams. When Fred Cole’s aunt see him, she brought her little He had long curls aid looked like a girl. Jean McDonald ran up to Mrs. MecGirt and said in a surprised tone, “Mama Girt, Fred said that little girl over there is a boy.” —The Babies ANNIE LOUISE Dear Reacers of The Messenger: We are busy studying our lessons so we will make the honor roll.

We are glad to have them come and live with us. HOWARD Some of us made good reports for the first month of school and some are not so good. We have been enjoying the foot- ball games and we all think that we have a good team. Margaret Moore had a_ birthday visit from her father and _ sister Saturday. Our dahlias are pretty but it won't be long before the frost will get chem. We enjoyed seeing “Tug Boat Annie” and “First Mate.” We thank Mr. Sams for the invitation. Lucille Johnston had a visit from her father Saturday. Glenn Lins- day is expecting her mother this week. We have been stringing beans and shelling peas every day lately. We are looking forward to a rest when Jack Frost comes. A few of us enjoyed the circus a couple of weeks ago and the rest went to see the Davidson-Elon foot- ball game. —Bean Stringers LEES It seems as if winter is going to be here before we know it. Everybody is going squirrel hunting and hunting walnuts and hickory nuts. All the leaves are falling off the trees and everything is beginning to look bare, We have received our reports for the first month. Some of us did good and others did not do so well, but we hope that everyone will improve next month. We have five more new boys from Synod cottage. Two of our boys went to Jennie Gilmer. They were Oscar Clark and Eugene Shan- non. Nearly everyone is going out for football. Last Saturday the 85lb and 100tb teams played Children’s Home at Winston-Salem. The score of the 85-pounders was 6 to 6; the 100- pounders, 0 to 0. One of our boys, John Irby Mc- Donald, has been suffering from a stone bruise. We hope it will soon be well. —David Flowers INFIRMARY We can hardly believe that a month of school has already gone by. One of our girls, Lucy Bryant, made the honor roll, and we hope that some more of us will make it during the coming month. Our nurse, Miss Moore, te Nebraska for two months’ vaca- tion and Mrs. Mable H. Nash, of Goldsboro, is substituting for her. We like Mrs. Nash very much. Our sincere hope is that Miss Moore will have an unusually good time while she is absent.

A commission Was appointed to hear a complaint from certain mem- bers of the Church-by-the-Side-of- the Road, Greensboro, against the Presbytery of Orange. The church members referred to desire to make the church a community church and withdraw its connection with the Presbytery, which petition was de- nied. The commission consists of Dr. W. McC. White of Raleigh and 14 ministers and elders from various parts of the Synod. A popular meeting for Barium Springs Orphans’ Home was con- ducted by Dr. W. S. Wilson, chair- man of the standing committee, at which it was shown that there are 300 children there. They have been in good health this year, and the farm has been very productive.

Bowden, GIETS FROM SUNDAY SCHOOLS (Continued from Page One) uch organizations giving to the Or- phanage is still less than half of the Sunday Schools of the Synod, and if these could be enlisted to adopt the plan of a Sunday’s offering each month to Barium it is firmly be- eved that the final aim of $2700.00 4 month could be attained. During the past two months a to- tal of $6,257.31 has reached Bar- ium through the church budgets, Sunday Schools, and Auxiliaries, this amount, $2,665.80 came to the Orphanage through the 410s of the total reaching the insti- tution from the Synod during the past two months. Again, congratula- tions are in order, and these are ex- tended in liberal terms. In the first six months of the church year, 164,700 meals this number, the gifts from the Sun- day Schools, allowing ten cents per meal per child, would have provided cor 59,593 of them. That represents just about one-third of the meals “nat have been necessary during the first half of the fiscal year. With new Sunday Schools joining the ranks of regular givers, and with the ones who have had this plan in vogue for many, many years, increas- ing their Offering, it is thought that the final tabulation on April 30, 1934, will show a better average trom this particular source of reve- nue. Meals which could have been |served during the past months by the Sunday School amounts are as fol- lows: MONTH NO.

Finding themselves on Barium’s 16, the way was cleared for Burrus to s and Lafferty con- erted the extra int. Barium started vociferously the second half and two touchdowns urtled forward to rapid succession. The first was featured by a 34-yard pass, M. Freeman to Fort, to the two-yard line, with M. Freeman buck- ing it over. About five minutes later, M. Freeman tossed @ pass to Fort over the goal line for the second touchdown. The safety was scored in the final stanza when C. Freeman tackled Dennis behind Concord’s goal after the local chaps had constantly but unsuccessfully hammered an in- spired Concord wall at the last chalk line.

SMILING, SMILING (Continued from Page One) would drop off and wake up with a harp in my hand instead of a steering wheel, my imagina- tion made me believe that I saw a rather hopeful gleam in the eyes of some of the workers over this possibility. There might have been a sub-conscious hope, at least, that a sudden passing away on my part would enable the Orphanage to get largely out of debt, and maybe in the new shuffle, a man might be placed at the head of this institution who would at least _ enough money here to pay off. So, one reason for the big smile on my face when you meet me is because that radio is telling me that all this is not so; that the workers still want me to stay awake, whether they are paid off regularly or _ not, and can scrape up enough money out of the few checks that they do get, to make me such a gorgeous present as this! All of which moves me to tell you a secret which I am asking you to please not pass on to any vrember of the Board of Re- rents. Here it is: If the gro- cers and other folks would let me, I would work at Barium Springs if nobody ever paid me a doliar! You can go away trom this piace just for a day, and Auxiliaries of the Synod, for 25 more reported in September to bring ther year’s total to 135. Among the |Sunday Schools, 16 additional lsent offerings last month ones bring 164, the bud- rather single Bud SS Aux Y P SEVERAL PRESBYTERIES (Continued from Page One) point of the 1933-34 fiscal year, and if there’s a Presbyterian in the North Carolina Synod who boasts of the record that the nine Presbyteries have made to date, we want to see him, ior we’d like to become ac- quainted with that kind of human bens. What has been asked for the first six months was 60 cents per church member. Only 18.09 has been aver- aged, leaving the Synod 41.91 cents behind, and in the tace of that fact some people have the effrontery to wonder why we have a debt at Bar- ium and why it isn’t decreasing with ail of the economies invoked. The actual income from the North Carol.na Synod to date has _ been $13,664.44, as compared with $16, 632.87 at the end of September a year ago. ‘this is a difference of $2, 968.43, and again it is recalled to the .eaders’ attention that this compari- son is made with the worst financial year in Barium’s history. Income Irom every source at the end_ of september, 1932, was $40,273.38. For the same period in 1933-34 it has been $29,297.47, a difference of $10, 315.89. September receipts were better than those of September, 1932, we are glad to announce, by $418.12. But the October report, it is feared, Bar- um in September through their reg- ular church budgets or making spec- al oiferings through the church are PreSbytery—Green- | ville, Rocky Mount First. Fayetteville Presbytery—Cypress. My- Presbytery—P i n etops, who responded with gifts to the reguiai Presbytery—LaGrange, Memorial, Beth- Mountain—Bessemer City. Mecklenburg—Central Steele will show a decline, for it was in Oct- ober, 1932, that a check for $1400.00 was received from Mecklenburg Pres- byterial’s whirlwind campaign last summer. That won’, be coming in this month, and we fear it’s going to be a sad, sad story when the Oct- ober receipts are compiled. Some Changes There were a few changes in the sianu.ng ot the Presbyteries this month. Winston-Salem Presbytery re- vained the lead. Albemar.e did an up- ward swing to second, nosing Meck- lenburg down to third place. Kings Mountain, Concord, and Wilmington rresbytecies are next in order, with no variance from last month’s com- pilation. However, the trio at the bottom were juggled some. Fayetteville dropped a notch downward to eighth place, while Granviile leaped ahead irom the bottom position to seventh place. This found Orange Presbytery resting in the ninth berth, but Wil- mington, Granville and Fayetteville should not look down upon Orange in an ignominious manner because they arent much better off with their per~ centage for six months. You 78,000 Presbyterians in the Synod of North Carolina haven't any idea of how tired and wearisome we become writing about the smali amounts that are coming to Barium from the Synod. You’re getting what you asked for, or rather the only things that can be written about such a report as the above table of re- ceipts decrees. Lines of financial worry may be deep in our faces, and shadows may cross them frequently, but ever so eften there’s a smile that comes over them, because we're dealing with happy human beings at the Orphan- age—and it’s up to you as individ- uals and as a Synod to keep our boys and girls happy. Just forget about the officials here and their worries, and concentrate your thinking on the children for whom you 78,000 Pres- byterians are responsible. —P. 0. H.— Italian Tony, whose push cart stood in a crowded street, grew vexed at the way folks continually handled his wares, pinching and mauling them. After a while he printed a notice on a large card. “If you must pincha da fruit, pincha da cocoanut.”’—Pearson’s. -—P. 0. H.— Two colored brethern, who married on the same day, met the first time after an interval 12 months. “Well, Mose,” said Sam, “what so’t of a wife did you’all marry?” “Dat woman,” answered Mose, rolling his eyes upward ecstaticaily, “dat woman is an angel!” “Does you say so?” exclaimed Sam. “Colored boy, you is lucky! My wife is living yet!” had tor ot come back and every child on the place will greet you with as much joy and enthusiasm as though you had been away a month. The grown folks who are perfectly familiar with my shortcomings, and my failures, wili stop in the midst of their own hard times and make me a present like this radio set. There is nothing that I could ever imagine happening at Bar- ium that would make me do anything else but love the place. Now, don’t tell the Regents about this, because they might just naturally take me up on that proposition, and I’m really not quite ready yet, to do that. All of this is just an explana- tion. When you meet me I may be listening to the explanation of “How to Play a Bridge Hand,” and I'll still be smiling. And if there is anything, that to me, ind:vidua_ly, is absolute] lost, it 's any time spent in learn~ int how to play a bridge hand; but that smile that you see will he think’ne about tht radio, rather than about what’s coming in over it.

Hobgood, Farm- ville, Is Sticcessor to Mrs. R. D. Grier, Statesville This is to introduce Mrs. J. M. Hobgood, new Secretary of Orphan- age work of the North Carolina Synodical. It is to introduce her to the readers of The Barium Messenger in general and the local Orphanage Secretaries of Auxiliaries in parti- cular. Mrs. Hobgood is from Farmville. She is the successor to Mrs. R. D. Grier, of Statesville, whose term of office automatically expired with the convening of the 1933 sessions of the North Carolina Synodical, at Rocky Mount last month at which time Mrs. Hobgood was chosen. Mrs. Hobgood will take up_ the Orphanage work where Mrs. Grier left off, and has been assigned the task of keeping the cause of Barium constantly before the friends of the institution through assignment of tasks to the Presbyterial Orphanage Secretaries and the local Secretaries as well. The new Synodical Secretary is eminently qualified for the post for which she has been selected. She re- cently retired as president of the North Carolina Federation of Wo- men, and through this organization she is already personally acquainted with many of the Orphanage Secre- taries throughout the state.

Last month, it was 32 churches, and the roster be- low records the names of 64. Only one qualification should be given regarding the list, i. e, in many instances only one class or eroup in some of the Sunday Schools has reported, and not the Sunday School as an unit. However, no sing- ling out of such Sunday Schools is made. Those members of the Sunday School know whether the organiza- tion is giving or whether one class in \that Sunday School has reported.

Seventeen of the 20 members were in attendance. Two sessions were held. When the Regents assembled for the 1932 fall meeting, a monetary goal of $50,000 was adoped, but this year they decided against this, prefering the aim above, for they felt that if every one of the Presbyterians of the North Carolina Synod had a part iksgiving Offering there would be no question as to the shai of money given.

We wonder how many more want to, aad will be, thus class:fied? —P. O. H.— December 2nd is the day when the Barium children will come home, for that’s their Home-Coming Day. They are coming back to the only home many of them have ever known, 4% home which was provided for them by the Presbyterians of the Synod. P. 0. H.— Oftentimes we are sent a wagon- load of staple products, but it’s quite seldom that we’re given the products and the wagon, too. But that’s what happened recently. An account of this is given on another page of The Mes- senger. —P. 0. H.— We're mighty glad to welcome some early Thanksgiving Offerings from individuals and organizations. Quite a few have already arrived By the way, the first one reaching us eame from a member of Little Joe’s Auxiliary here at Barium 0. H.— Synod approved and adopted the plan of devoting one Sunday’s offer- ing a month to Barium, but how many Sundav Schools have followed eat the recommendation since Synod met? We haven't heard of many. We know of one Sunday School which will start the pian in December as a resuit ef Synod’s actions. - Although Thanksgiving comes the last day of the month this year, many of the churches, Sunday Schools and Auxiliaries will have their reports in before then, and it will be interesting to watch how this affects the standing of the Presby- teries as will appear in the December issue of this paper. 5, Ds they Several of our friends responded to our article last month on, “What We Need”. One friend sent quite a few strawberry plants to us, a Men’s jo Bible Class allotted $150 to Barium for the purchase of sheets, quilts and blankets, and numerous individuals and organizations sent sheets, quilts and blankets direct —P. 0. H.— Peanuts can not be advantageous- ly raised at Barium, and any friend having a surplus would find a wel- come receiver in the Orphanage. These could be very well used at Bar- ium as well as Irish potatoes. The latter crop was short this year. We could use a carload of each of these products. —P. 0. H.—- The biggest drop in giving by the Synod hasn’t come from the smaller churches. It’s the big city churches which have curbed their giving. Some of the city churches have fallen off as much as 55% in the last few years. It takes a lot of small gifts to make up the decrease of such a percentage of any of the larger of the churches. —P. 0. H.-— Sunday Schools of the Syned fell off a little last month in their giv- ing, but the November response should send them back to the side of the ledger marked “increases” The Thanksgiving Offering, of course, will not be tabulated in preparing the number of meals the Sunday Schools serve, only the regular gifts are used in this. —P. 0. H.-- If you are a Presbyterian and at- tend a football game on Thanksgiv- ing, don’t you think that you ought to make an offering at least the price of the ticket? Some churches virtually demand that their members going to football games do this. Of course, many of them give more than the price of an admission. Don’t in- terpret this as being a suggestion that this sheuld be the maximum. —P. 0. H.— Won't every treasurer of every orgenization send the Thanksgiving gift from his or her organization the day after it is taken? Some treasur- ers like to wait in the hope that ad- ditional amounts might be given. 'owever, send in what has been con trsbuted, and the supplementary amount can be mailed later. Let us make a record on this score in 1933. —P. 0. H.— If you don’, think the Barium alumni are interested in the institu- tion whith. has been their home, take a trip with the individual who is showing the moving pictures. There is at least one Barium alumnus at almost every showing, and on oneor two occasions there have been as many as four of them. Their most frequent comment is, “The picture makes me mighty homesick.” . oO. H— At the close of 1932-33, our books showed that 70 churches did not make any monetary response to Bar- ium throughout all of last year. We hope that none will be in that group when 1933-34 ends. It would seem that there could be found at least one member in every church, no matter how smal!, who could give a dollar to Barium. Those nickels and dimes mount up rapidly, too. If you think we're wrong, try it. P. 9. H— Despite the fact that the income from Synod dropped $6,700.00 in the last year, and is ever $3800.00 less jsenger, We plan to publish a list of those churches whose 1933-34 totals already exceed all that they contri- buted during 1932-33. There are al- ready some in this category, and the number should be impressive when published. This will appear at the end of the ninth month—-three quarters of the church year. We hope this will inspire those churches to give even more before the church year closes, you—-to think that these boys at Barium, who have only the moncy ‘that they make working overtime, Barium Messen ger November 1983 for the first seven months of 1988-84, the debt at Barium virtually the same as it was at the end of Octo- ber, 1932.

H In the January issue of The Mes- and will also urge others forward. Not long ago we attended an Aux- iliary meeting, and the announcement at the close was something like this: “Circle No. — said that it would not serve refreshments afternoon, but that money which would have been used for this purpose will be sent to Barium Springs.” Suppose every Auxiliary which serves re- fresiments after a meeting did this. It would make a handsome sum and we don’t believe thai the Auxiliary iembers would consider it much of a rifice to forego delicious refresh- ments one afternoon for the sake of the Orphanage. —P a nis . H— The Boys’ Bible Class at Barium gives $50.00 a year to the suppo-t of an orphan. Isn’t that inspiring to contribute $50.00 of this to the sup- port of one of their own? The tabu- lation of receipts lists that amount this month, If these boys can do this, can’t many of the Sunday Schools who don’t contribute adopt tie plan of sending one offering a month to the Orphanage? We’: inclined to hink that such an accomplishment t to put many of the Presby- terians of the Synod to shame! —P. 0. H.— We know of a pastor, who is doing | Superintendent's Report to Regents | Twelve months ago my report to you reviewed the work at the Or- phanage over a ten-year period. At that time we were in the midst of a period of re-adjustment, and this report, covering the first year of the second decade under the present management, will give you the re- sults of the re-adjustments. First: The number of children. There are 10 less chilaren enrolled at the present time than the same date ast year. During the 12 months, 45 children have left the institution— 17 of these by graduation; and of these 17 graduates, four are attempt- ing to continue their studies further, but none are at present depending on ny help through Barium’s loan fund. Fourteen have secured work,| having reached the age to become self-supporting, without being able/ to graduate. Thirteen have been re- stored to their homes, either through| the re-marriage of their surviving parent, or through changed home conditions. There has been one death. Of the 35 children admitted, the selections were made after carefully looking into applications involving ver 300 children, and those selected to enter were chosen as being most dependent on this particular form of child relief. Wherever possible to enlist the aid of relatives to relieve the depen- dency, or other forms of child re- lief, such as Mother's Aid, Child Placement, or Boarding Homes, this was done, and we feel that the 35 ‘hildren who did enter are our re- sponsibility. In the various departments: We at present have 10 matrons, whereas a year ago we had 13. We have 11 heads of departments, as against 13 year ago. There are four office em- vloyees, against five a year ago. We have 10 teachers against 17 before our schools were turned over to the state. The changed condition is more marked in our school. Two years ago we had 17 teachers to instruct 360 children. Today we have 10 teachers to instruct 808 children, and in addi- tion te the fewer teachers, we are only running the school eight months. and the receipt st indefinite, people this; mission work f whose salary is m¢ who has challenged his Thanksgiving by saying that he and! one his elders will match dollar) for dollar for all that the members of| his largest church give.

This same challenge was extended and ggrried out last year, and the results were amazing. Won’t some individual in each con- gregation, who is in a financial posi- tion to do so, similarly challenge his congregation ? —P. 0.

There are other developments in our school program which, so far, have not worked a hardship, and we hope will not. The lowered state bud- get has cut down the amount of cler- ical help, not only in the schools, but in the county set-up, so that it is necessary for all schools in a parti- cular district to have identical holi- days and teaching days, so as_ to have their months end on the same date, This is so that the reports will eover the same teaching hours, and the payroll the same number of teaching days. This means that our holidays must be identical with the Troutman school, and should the weather make any of the roads im- passable (as was the case last year), thus requiring the Troutman School to suspend, our school would have to suspend the same days, although no ruck serves our school. Should an epidemic require Trout- man School to close for a day or a week, our school would have to close the same period. This is something that has not come up yet, and we hope will not. Our crowded school day has forced out instruction in Bible ir all but two classes, and very likely this will have to be discontinued altogether after this year. In spite of our best efforts to make the day’s schedule allow for students to be free to carry on the work of the place, we have not been able to do so with as much success as formerly. We have had to employ a negro wo- man to work in the laundry, and we have had to have additional hired la- bor on the farm. This condition ap- plies only during the school months. We will have an abundance of nelp during the four months in which there will be no school, and we are trying to so make our plans in our outside activities so that the hulk of the work will fall during those months. For instance, in our farm activities, we are being busy now to put in enough grain to keep our force busy during the months of May and June. The labor of harvesting is much greater than planting. byterian minister. Clifford has been very successful in his work.

As it is, we have at the presen‘ time about a dozen children conval concern shows the most marked im- provement; and we now have good covery. There has been one death in the institution. This death resulted from an acute bone infection which sud- denly carried off a 14-year old boy, during the summer. We have searched for a cause of this trouble, but have not been able to locate anything, or any symptoms that would have given us warning in time to have helped this lad. One Saturday night he com- plained of a sore shoulder, Sunday night he was violently ill, and Wed- nesday he was dead. The morale of the institution was never better. In spite of the infre- quent paydays, and the abolition of many things that tended to make our living here more pleasant, both for grown-ups and children, there is a splendid spirit of co-operation and loyalty present everywhere. We do not know of a single worker who has even thought of giving up his or her work at Barium, because of the fin- ancial situation. The excellence of the work here, as rated by the Duke Endowment, still leads in the Carolinas, but not by the margin that it did 12 months ago. For the year 1931, Barium Springs had a rating of 956, as against 915 of its nearest rival. Last year one other institution rated 956, with a third making 955; and seven others rating above 900. This shows clearly that while Bar- ium has held her own, the other in- stitutions have made progress, and We wish it were so that something could be done right now to improve our standing, to enable us to hold the leadership for the years to come. Our housing conditions are respon- sible for our failure to more nearly approach the 1,000 point which is the highest rating possible. We would appreciate this year, gifts of Irish potatoes, as we lack at least 500 bushels of having enough for our needs. We can also use a car load of pea- nuts, if any community in the pea- nut section of the country wants to get that much of their product off the market. We are not able to raise peanuts profitably at Barium. The dairy has been furnishing as with milk and beef, and has been fed entirely from products of the farm. That is, as far as hay and silage go. The very dry summer cut down our hay crop considerably, and we will no doubt have to reduce our beef herd because of our inability to feed them through the winter. We are waiting: until a more advantageous time to sell our surplus beef cattle. The condition of our outlying farms is more encouraging than for any year since 1929; and the Nichol- son and McDonald Farms should show a fair return this year. We are using cotton seed produced on these farms to trade for cotton seed meal in order to hold down our dairy costs in prepared grain food. There has been such a_ tremendous increase in the price of this that it adds considerably to the cost of main- taining a dairy. All in all, we believe that the gen- eral conditions within the Orphan- age are much more encouraging than they were a year ago. There is a development, however, that is begin- ning to embarrass us, and we want the Board to be thoroughly familiar with this situation. Just as fast as the wholesalers and manufacturers adopt an N R A code, we find that it also does things to the use of credit, and special concessions, and in our case, it has meant the withdrawal of concessions, znd the shortening of credit terms. This means that we will no longer be able to carry the insti- tution on such a small fraction of its yearly income for the first eight or nine months of the year. We will no longer be able to accumulate debts with the hope of settling them at Thanksgiving or at the end of the church year, but it will be necssary to have a much larger percentage of our actual needs each month in cash. We believe that this will be a good thing for us, when our friends learn, of this condition and react to it. We believe it will be much easier to send the money each month than to labor so desperately trying to clear up the debts in the latter part of the year. I hope that the members of the Board will take time to see enough of Barium and talk enough with the Barium people to soak up some of. the optimism that you will find pre- vailing here. It is an amazing thing to me. I have been to church courts and I have heard pessimistic reports and dire predictions made as to the future of the work in the Kingdom. I have heard great men say that we were in a time of re-adjustment, when a lot of the frills were going to be cut off, and the “frilis” evidently meant the things that we were do- ing for the destitute children of our hurch. I have come home from these church courts feeling rather depressed myself; and have then ex- posed myself to the atmosphere of hope and optimism at Barium. I have tried to analyze why such an atmosphere should prevail here when the idea of depression seemed to prevail so much elsewhere; and the conclusion I have come to as to the reason, is because we have such a large percentage of young people here. That is the wholesome optimism hope of her ultimate, complete re- (Continued on Page Four) Nevember 193¢ Bariant M essenger Page Three ORR — 13ce.

Last month’s Messenger told how they won from Raleigh Methodist Orphanage, Lexington and Concord and tied Belmont Abbey. This time it will be recorded how the Orphanage won from Children’s Home, Metho- dist Orphanage in Winston-Salem; Mills Home, Baptist Orphanage in Thomasville; Monroe, and an account will be given of the tie with High Point and the loss to Kannapolis. Barium has already won the North Carolina Orphanage championship, through its defeating of three Or- phanages without sutfering a loss. This series among Orphanages is over. Remaining on the Barium schedule are Statesville, Hickory and Winston-Salem. The jatter will be on Saturday, December 2nd, and will be Home-Coming day, High Point (; Barium 0 For three years these two teams have met on the gridiron and neither has scored upon the other, for all have been scoreless ties. Barium was playing their first night game when they met the High Point Bisons at High Point this fa!l. The advantage was all in favor of the Furniture City boys, and it looked at the out- set as if they woul! walk away with Barium. They advanced rapidly to Barium’s 8-yard linc, but the Or- phanage held. The whole game was a see-saw affair, w ing up and down te gains, but, while both frequently threatened, penetra‘ on across the goal line was not poss ble Children’s Home 6; Barium 6.

It is reproduced here so that every individual will have a chance to read and digest it before the pastor makes presentation of it to his congregation before the Thanksgiving Offering is made. It was written by a committee of the Regents, which committee was appointed here at the fall meeting on October 31st: To the Presbyterians of the Synod of North Carolina: The Synod meeting in Wilmington in 1920 directed the Regents of the Orphans’ Home as follows: “In response to the overture from the Board of Regents concerning doubling the plant at the Orphans’ Home and the enlargement of the work according to the action of last Synod, we recommend that $500,000, at the rate of $100,000 a year, be the goal for this Synod, to be apportioned to the Presbyteries on the basis heretofore adopted. This amount is over and above and sep- arate from the support fund for the Home.” See minutes of Synod of 1920, page 445. ; The Board of Regents carried out this recommendation in part only and provided room for 360 children. If it had carried out the whole plan there would have been room for 500 children. At this time your institution is caring for 303 children who have been sent to it by you. By extraordinary measures of economy your Orphanage operated within its income last year, but there was no reduction in the 4>ht which has ac- cumulated over the years when the income so drastically shrank, The amount of money to properly care for your big family this church year is $89,000.00, plus the accumulated deficit for the past several vears. when the income succes- sively dronned from $109,000 to $95,000 to $84,000 to $74,- 000 to $67.500. The Home is being run as economically as it is humanly possible to do so and keep un anything like the semblance of service we have been rendering. We dare to run the hazard of overcrowding in dormitories, reduced number of matrons and executives, and even to reduce the efficiency of our edu- cational facilities; we don’t mind short rations and ragged clothes if that is necessary. but we dare not wilfully jeopard- ize the moral and spiritual training of these future citizens, and we should be more careful about their health and edu- cational advantages. We. the Regents, your servanis, are informing vou of | the institntion’s needs. The Home is yours and not that of | the Regents solely. ; Thanksgiving is a season for an offering for our Or- phens’ Home. Not only the success of the Home, but the very existence of the Home to continue its glorious work depends upon how every individual Presbyterian in North Carolina responds to this Thanksgiving call. We are not setting up a money goal this time, but a human goal: “A gift from every one of the 78.000 Presby- terians of the Synod of North Carolina.” One dollar average from each one would be financial salvation to our Home. See that vour church averages at least this much. We lay this upon your hearts and leave it with you. Resnectively yours, W. M. Baker Mrs. Z. V. Turlington M. W.

SYNODICAL SELECTS {Continued from Page One) est will be valuable to her as_ she starts out upon this all-important field of endeavor. Mrs. Grier, the retiring secretary, has rendered excellent service in her office. She has perfected a Synod- wide organization among the Aux- iliaries of the Synod, and prepared an jan annual pamphlet completely out- jlining the duties of the Presbyteriai jand local Orphanage Secretaries. Her most recent venture was io address a letter to every local secre- tary, urging that they see that every one of the 78,000 Presbyterians of the Synod have an opportunity to contri- bute to the Orphanage during the coming Thanksgiving period. Should the local leaders adhere to her sug- cestions, the outcome of the 1933 Thanksgiving response will be the tally came in tl a 67-yard mar which wa M. Freei striking dista little later and extra.

GREAT CELEBRATION (Continued from Page One) nearer Thanksgiving, and if possible to arrange it when Barium would be having one of her big home football vames. Last year, it was the Satur- day before Thanksgiving, and the football game played was Barium and Greensboro. This year, the date is the Saturday after Thanksgiving and the ootball entertainment will be Win- ston-Salem and Barium. This will be VYinston’s first appearance on Sloan Field, although the two teams have played for about ten years, all of the games being played in Winston- Salem. Barium has never defeated Winston-Salem and there has been a tie four times. So much for that. Everybody may not be interested in football, but there will be many other things to interest home-comers besides the game. There never has been a Home- Coming Day yet but what there has been a continuous connection of those returning, covering the entire his- tory of the Home. There is always representatives from the first group of children; and then, the connection ‘s made with others right on through to the present, So if you are a_ re- turning pilgrim in search of contem- poraries, you will be certain to find them, These Home-Coming Days have at- tracted people from distant places— _ven beyond the bounds of the United States. Indications point that both in numbers and interest, this will be one of the best Home-Comings we have ever had. Come early. The meeting of the Association takes place in the morning. It should be not later than 10:00 a. m. Then after dinner, there is usually another meeting, but there are so many things on hand after dinner, that it is hard to have a sat- isfactory meeting, then as in the morning. No special things are being done to entertain the Home-Comers other than the football game, but guides will be available to take anybody anywhere, and to explain everything to those wishing explanation. We du not want any of these old-timers to get lost, and it is difficult to recog- nize old landmarks in some of the recent changes in the Barium prop- erty. In fact, some of the old boys may think that they are running off, when they will be still safely within the bounds of Barium property. Even the squirrels know the difference EVERY INDIVIDUAL URGED (Continued from Page One) ing of the Regents was on the last day of October and no monthly re- port had been compiled when the board met.

XI SUNDAY SCHOOLS’ GIVING HAS DECREASED DURING THE PAST TWO MONTHS No Doubt Many of Them Con- centrated Recently on the Thanksgiving Offering UP SWING EXPECTED Report of Offerings Will Not Include Those of Thanksgiving Evidently the Sunday Schools of the North Carolina Synod saved up their regular contributions of the past two months for the Thanksgiv- ing Offering, for the record shows that for two successive months the source of income from the Sunday Schools has decreased. This, of course, is written specifically about the monthly gifts, and does not in- elude any of the Thanksgiving Of- fering. Prior to October, the giving of the Sunday Schools had steadily climbed from a low mark of $663.20 in May to a total of $1,341.97 in September, an amount which was double the fig- ure five months previous. But in Oct- ober it dropped back to $1,267.93. It was only $74.14 less than the pre- vious month, but this amount makes a tremendous difference in the opera- tion of the Orphanage. November giving dropped still fur- ther. It was $1,071.74, $270.23 less than .for the peak of the year. Offi- cials here do not look for an increase in giving during December, either, because of the Thanksgiving Offer- ings and the emphasis laid upon them, but it is thought that with the beginning of the new year, the swing will start upward again, and an- other peak will be attained. In fact, no less than half-a-dozen Sunday Schools have adopted the plan of sending an offering to Barium within the past month, and the deci- sion on their part is going to help swell the total. Possibly other Sunday Schools will likewise begin this me- thod of systematic giving, which would be carrying out the recommen- dations made at Synod when it met in Greensboro last September. It is believed here that there are a considerably large number of Sun- day Schools which have been taking offerings, and which they are ten- aciously holding on to until a great- er accumulation of funds. Perhaps an educational course for treasurers would not be amiss, for these funds are desperately needed at Barium. It is the hope here that many new ones will report in Dec- ember and will forward on the amounts that have been contributed. Following out the original plan of serving meals at Barium with the Sunday School offerings (ten cents serves a meal to a child) the tabula- BARIUM SPRINGS, N. ‘. DECEMBER 1933 MANY ALUMNI RETURNED TO OLD ROME AT BARLUM ON ANNUAL HOME-COMING Ervin Jackins, of Barium Chosen as President of Alumni As- sociation for Next Year SPECIAL FEATURES List of Those Who Registered Given Below—Many Others Here Home-Coming was the scene of much excitement on the part of Bar- ‘um alumni. Saturday, December 2 was the day, and the place fairly buzzed with talk of old times. They began arriving about ten, and by dinner time there were some fif- ty or sixty ready to eat in the big jining room with us. There were everywhere expression$ of surprise at the progress made in the last few years. After dinner an alumni meeting was held in the sitting room at Rumple Hall. At this meeting, Mr. Gray, of Statesville resigned as president and Mr. Ervin Jackins, of Barium was elected to succeed him. When the meeting adjourned, the next place of interest was the foot- ball field, where the old boys and girls had the opportunity of seeing Barium win the last game of the sea- son. A special feature of the day was a concert by the Davidson College band. This took place in the school auditorium and was enjoyed by home folks and visitors alike. The following alumni were pres- ent: Mrs. H. E. McDaniel, Mrs. Walter W. Kale, Mrs. H. L. Skipper, Martha Andrew, Mrs. C. P. Andrew, c. 2.

Hipp, George Hand, Sarah since the first of December, but one of the most appreciated and unusual was the Thanksgiving re- sponse made by members of the Iredell Count) chaingang, which has its camp not far from Barium. It wasn’t much to be sure, only forty-six cents, but it represented a whole lot from these men, most- ly of the colored race, who have nothing. They heard about a Thanksgiving Offering being taken all over North Carolina for Bar- jum, and decided they would join in. They got together their pen- nies, and occasionally a nickel and made up this sum. The Offering was presented to Mr. Johnston, superintendent, on the Sunday morning following Thanksgiving. Mr. Johnston never fails to visit the camp early on Sunday morning, taking with him the accumulated newspapers of the week, and magazines from one of the news stinds in Statesville. And, it was on his customary trip that he was suprised and greatly pleased by tiis Thanksgiving gift.

This is the Huntersville Sun- day School.

In eight months of 1933-34, they have already given $61.09, and there are four months yet to be in- cluded before the final total is tabu- lated.

Granville’s rise left Orange Presbytery safely en- sconced there. Orange looked as if it was going upward for a permanent stay last month, but there was a lit- tle backsliding on their part. Gran- ville’s November rise even set Fay- etteville back to eighth position. These three Presbyteries have been playing hide and seek in the cellar berth this fall and during the winter to date. We're wondering just what the status will be when the December giving which will include the Thanks- giving Offering, is Teri! reported next month. Will it be the same trio that are hovering around the cellar door, or will all of them shoot upward and vacate long enough for some of the others to gain entrance? We'd like to think that no Presbytery wants to occupy that position. There is littke comment or com- parison which can be made about titors were limited to 95 tallies. For varsity boys have kept their line uncrossed on Sloan Field. State Orphanage titles were won by the varsity and the 100-Ib team. The varsity won eight, tied two and lost a couple. The 115-125 team won twelve victories without any ties or defeats, and the 100-pounders were unscored upon in their 12 games, though two of them were nothing-all ties. In their first year of competi- tive playing, the 80-pounders met Children’s Home twice, one of these games being tied, and the Children’s Home copping the other. d In previous issues of The Messen- goal e@ e Statesville 0; Barium 21. oO Over 2,000 people saw Barium de- feat Statesville in a contest much man, near the close of the first per- iod, the ball was placed in scoring on the in the second period, Barium had the ball on Statesville’s 19, M.

The’ first column of regular giving was $1.02 greater than it was a year ago, but the second column is quite dif-’ ferent, because Thanksgiving of 1932 was six days earlier than this year. For instance, the November, 1932, report showed that $5,678.05 of the Thanksgiving Offering had been re- ceived before December Ist, but the November, 1933, tabulation shows that only $850.48 had arrived. A much better idea of the comparative status will be obtained from the Dec- ember table when it appears next month, for most of the Thanksgiving Offering will have been received by January Ist.

We frequently quote from the “Connie Maxwell Monthly”, a publication of the Con- nie Maxwell Orphanage in Green-| wood, S. C., and the articles are al-| ways from the pen of Rev. A. T.| Jamison, the most efficient head of that institution, the dean of Orphan- age Workers in North and South Carolina. This particular issue of The Mes- senger may seem to be given over entirely to reprints from the recent issue ef the “Connie Maxwell”, but the four articles herein reproduced are so good, and apply with so much force to conditions in our OWn insti- tution that we can't resist the temp- tation of reprinting them in full. Be sure and read every one of them. The editorial on “Getting Children In” is particularly fine. We are not bothered so much by the “delegation” idea, but you wouid be surprised at the number of people who resort to using the “influence” of people whom they think to be close to the Orphanage, in getting children in. We say “Amen” to Dr. Jamison’s exhortion: “Give us facts, and not petitions.” These four editorials follow: ON GETTING CHILDREN IN One should write the Orphanage and request an application blank. When the blank shall have been re- ceived it should be filled out supply - ing as much information as can be hed. Muil the blank promptly back to the Orphanage. Following receipt ef the blanks 2a worker will be sent on the case at first orvortunity. She will come to the home community to secure certain information in addi- tion to that furnished by the blanks. But our friends should remember that we have an average of an appli- cation a day. Just think of it! We could fili the Orphanage within a year even if we began without a single child on the roll. On the face of it this carries the suggestion of a limited equipment. With regard to these applications there is one thing that we would love to have our friends feel sure of, and that is that we endeavor to have no favorites. We try to conscientiously judge each case upon its merits. [t sometimes develops that our decision does not satisfy a community. People usually accept our decision and give us cre dit for having done the best thing possible. It is not always quite so smooth and easy as that. But we ask) the local community to remember that | they are thinking about only the one case in which they are interested. At the Orphanage we know every story even to details in connection with a great many additional cases and have to try to do what is plainly called for. The local community with- out knowledge of all these cases can- not possibly make the comparative decisions that we are in position to do. Occasionally church people will un- dertake to bring pressure upon ws. his is such an unfortunate attitude. We are almost ready to say that it is unfair to question the justice of the Orphanage authorities who haves pledged the denomination that they will not have favorites or show fav- oritism. Most of the cases are de- cided by the Superintendent. He certainly is not worthy to remain in hig position another day if he were willing to display favoritism in con- nection with applications that come in. For one thing, we beg our breth- ern to give us credit for a disposition | grea’ te fairness and impartiality. If we are credited with this, it will be necessary to send a carload of influ- ential persons—preachers, congress- men, or others—- to the to plead a case. The pleading of a case is one of the absolutely unnec- essary |were making | S Orphanage and | the Orphanage and later in the great active world. Then he slows down in his studies, fails to make good, will not be studious and disap- points everybody. The society in such a case feels quite let down in en- thusiasm and is tempted to give con- {sideration to the thought that per- haps they have wasted their money after all. It is the more difficult for them to understand since they are not working with the child day by day and year by year so as to keep in close touch with his development. When he comes out as pretty much of a failure at last it is a great shock to them as well as a grief and sometimes it is of course difficult for them to fully understand. Buz just the same, we will not drop the method because it has this feature of weakness in it, for in most cases there is no disappointment at all, but high satisfaction in the re- sults that accrue, CHILDREN’S CLOTHING We recently had a request from some good friends that we should not fail to give to a certain child the clothing that they had made up for him and were sending. They did not realize that we made a practice of doing this very thing and that they an unnecessary re- quest, There were just two things that these good people did not think of when they wrote their letter. One is that we are good honest people at do not twist things around in any questionable way. Another is that the people at the Orphanage are common sense folk and will do the practical and necessary thing. Of course they do not think that friends were doing anything out of the way when they wrote to stipulate and insist that sent. But just the same, this is al- ways done at the Orphanage except in a case where a garment does not fit the one for whom it was intended.

SUPPORTING CERTAIN CHILD- REN We are always glad to have indi- viduals or societies undertake sup- port of a certain child, or even so much of special child support as wiil cover the cost of clothing. Especially in connection with the matter of clothing individual children have we reason for gratitude. So many of the societies as well as quite a number of individuals and indeed Sunday schools or Sunday school classes have carried on this form of aid during many years. In connection with the full support of a child it has not been uncommon to have re- quest for one who can be sent to college after having completed work at the Orphanage. There is just about one unsatis- factory feature in connection with this method. It relates to the disap- pointing development or failure of development of certain children. it is embarrassing to us at times that a child comes out so poorly after hav- ing been affectionately remembered and beautifully cared for through a number of years by some individual or by one of the societies. If we could tell about what children are going to do, we would be more happy in_their selection and in making as- signments to those who wish to help. A society, for instance, will be as- signed a certain child to be clothed. Twice a year a list of needed clothes with measurements is _ sent. With t interest and sometimes glee the work is done twice a year for this child. Naturally they develop a great dea! of sentiment upon the subject and have great visions of how won- derful a place he is going to take at | HONOR ROLL FOR 3RD MONTH Third Grade Daisy Caton Myrtle Milis Annie Sue Wilson Fourth Grade Emma Eudy Russell McKenzie Standish McKenzie Seventh Grade Alice Jores Eight (A) Grade Leila Johnston Eight (B) Grade Lucy Bryant Tenth Grade Bonnie McKenzie Eleventh Grade Helen Briley Leonard Fort Myrtle Jehnson —P. 0.

But you'll never know 'til the years pass by And you know the meaning of heart- ache and sigh. O precious baby we love you so! December 1989 Some News From The Cottages EDITOR’S NOTE: This was written for the November issue of The Messenger, but limited space prevented its use. ANNIE LOUISE We are writing to let our friends know through the Messenger what we have been doing the past month, Since school started we have been mighty busy. We have to do our cot- tage work, then go to study period which lasts an hour and a half. Those of us whe take music must practice a half-hour, then aave dinner and go to school for five hours in the after- noon, A pretty full day, isn’t it? Misses Daisy and Margaret Miller gave us some sweet potatoes, so we went to the spring and had a potato roast. We also had supper at the spring. We stayed there quite a while and had a grand time. We were invited to the Playhouse in Statesville to see Will Rogers as Doctor Bull. It was a good picture and we thank the manager: for in- viting us. Lately, Wwe have been having pumpkin pie, which makes us think of Thanksgiving. We will also be glad to see our friend who return to visit us that day. The old boys and girls come in larger numbers. Maybe most of them this year, though, will postpone their visit a few days to be here on Home-Coming Day, which is December 2nd. We expect several hundred of our old boys and girls then. —P. 0. H.— SYNOD’S Oh, boy! just 44 days ‘til Christ- mas! And will we be glad? We ask you that. Before Christmas, though, comes Thanksgiving, another time we look forward to with pleasure. We have been going to school for nearly three months now. Mr. Sams, manager of one of the Statesville theaters, invited us in to see a movie about Dr. Bull. We sure did like it. Just above we mentioned Thanks- giving, which is the last day of the month. We wish it was earlier. Some friends from Belmont sent us some cuddle dogs and we _ enjoy sleeping with them very much. We were invited to another pic- ture recently, “Tarzan the Fearless” and it was very good. Some friends sent us some jigsaw puzzles and we enjoy working them. We have new shoes to wear this winter. We are giad that it is not cold outside so we can play football bare- footed. We just can’t run fast when we have on shoes. Some of the boys had the measiés down at the Infirmary. We are glad that they have recovered and are able to be back with us. —Henry Pittman —Thomas Morgan —P. 0. H.— BABY COTTAGE Since school has been going on, the days seem to fly by, but we don’t mind that ‘cause it’ll soon be time for Thanksgiving and after that Old Santa Claus will visit us. Guess who has been staying at our cottage this month? It was “Old Man measles.” One of the little girls was sick at the Infirmary and she caught the measles while there. Of course, She had to be awfully kind and give the disease to us. One time, while most of the Baby Cottage members were sick, our number fell as low as seven. Mama Girt was called home on a short business trip about two weeks ago. We were glad to have Misses Letha Copeland and Faye Stevenson as our matrons while she was away. The Regents visited us on Hallow- e’en Day and we were delighted to see them. They ate dinner with us at the main dining room and then visited the cottages. Three of the Regents came to the Baby Cottage and talked to us for a while. One of the ladies was from the church in Hickory which clothes Stanley Smith and Herbert McMasters. These kind friends also brought us some witch pops, owl pops (candy suckers) and some red stick candy. If those ladies could have seen us eating that candy they would know how much we en- joyed it. Later in the evening, after the other Regents had gone, Mrs. Har- per, a member fom Wilmington, came to see us for about an hour. She sat with us while we were having prayers and afterwards she told some of the nicest stories that you have ever heard. One was about “The Wise Men and Baby Jesus” and an- other was about “Little Orphan Annie.” We hope Mrs. Harper and the other Regents will visit us again soon. One day when Mama Girt went to Troutman, she took us with her and let us play around the filling station. The owner of the station gave us a pack of life savers each and told us to come back to see him. Everyone Could we but shield you from sorrow and woe; But you’re drifting from us day by day To battle with life on the great high- way. On the great highway and the pass- ing throng, Away from mother and her lullaby song, Out from the shelter of love and home But youll still be “baby” wherever you roam. Mrs. High Palmer, Salis- , «We is surely grateful and we hope Mrs. McGirt wiil take us back some time. Amos Hardy enjoyed a visit from his Moresville friends not long ago. Amos had the measles at the time, but they were permitted to see him. On October 15th, six of our num- ber, one big girl and Miss Greene went with Mr. Johnston to give a program at Unity church, out from Davidson. While we were going all of us were surprised when Mr. Johnston’s car started talking (it was Teally a radio, but some thought it was the car). The trip there was enjoyed by us very much and we wish to thank all who made it pos- sible for us to go. Mildred Eudy has come to be one of our big girls now because we have to give up Hazel Cartret, one of the former girls. Hazel is now living in Charlotte. We were sorry to lose Hazel, but think Mildred will make a very nice “big sister’. On November 8th we were de- lighted to have Rev. W. C. Brown eome by and conduct prayers for us. He has held prayers for us before and we are always giad to have him. Everyone is still enjoying the radio that our kind friends gave us. There have been many more visi- tors than usual this month, but many of them did not come into the eot- tage when they heard that some of us had measles. —P. 0. H.— LEES We have been having a lot of fovt- ball games lately. The 100-pound team went to Chapel Hill not long ago to play between halves of the Georgia Tech-Carolina game. Mrs. Lackey’s son, J. D., came down after the game ¢o spend the week-end with her, and all of us were glad to see him. He is a guard on the Georgia Tech team. : All of the boys are busy catching rabbits and we enjoy eating them. We were invited to a show last week and we all liked it. Everybody is doing pretty good in their school work. Last week three of our boys went to spend the week-end with their mothers. Two of our boys have the measles, but we hope they will soon be out. Oo , O. Hi— HOWARD Jack Frost arrfved and helped us finish stringing heans. a ed to the Troutman Fair an oroug enjoyed it, especiali the fireworks. sp ae Some of us had goed reports this month ana others did not. We hope to do better before Christmas before dear old Santa hears about it. Mrs. Linsday, of Charlotte, paid Glenn a visit this week. _ We were invited to the Playhouse in Statesville to see Will Rogers in “Dr. Bull”. We thank Mr. Sams for inviting us. —P. 0. H.i— WOMAN’S BUILDING Hello, everybody! How’s the old world treating you? Has prosperity struck you yet? We are just wondering how every- one is taking this “coal” weather. _ We are having a very successful footbail season, the varsity having suffered only one defeat this season. Thanksgiving is nearly here. Miss Letha Copeland, our former laundry matron, has taken the place of Miss Ruth Johnson in the faculty. We all miss Miss Johnson very much but we are glad to hear that she likes her new work. We like Miss Copeland very much. She finished at Barium four years ago, and last spring was graduated from Fiera Macdonald College. za We were very glad indeed to have Mrs. Harper, of Wilmington, one of the Regents, spend the night with us ~~ ago. ve went to see Will Roge i “Dr. Bull” last week. Mr. Se, Fos certainly appreciate your inviting us. If you folks like flowers just come to our aan games and we will sive each person a sample of r beautiful chegnenthownan to conte home with you. —P. 0.

CAGE TOURNAMENT (Continued From Page One) boys of Lincoln county, and the girls’ textette from Banoak high school of Catawba county. Last year’s winners were the Ban- oak girls, for their second successive win, and the Paw Creek five. Added to the competitive playing was 4 foul-shooting contest, in which ap- proximately 300 boys and girls par- ticipated. This will also be a feature of the 1934 tournament. Silver cups were awarded to the winning fives last year, and these will be contested for again. They were given by Statesville concerns. It was stipulated that permanent Claus in town. Santa Claus spoke to us over the radio Saturday night. He read some nice letters and said that he would be sure to some down the chimney Christmas night. Mama Girt and the big girls are teaching us a poem, “The Night Be- fore Christmas” so that we can say consecutive years. Other awards will include gold and silver basketball charms given to the individual mem- bers of the winning team and run- ner-up, respectively. These are also given by enthusiastic Statesville fans. Last year the tournament attract- ed wide attention throughout this section, and a capacity crowd wit- nessed many _ excellent basketball games. Most of the playing is done at night, with the exception of Fri- day afternoon. Play will start short- possession can be gained only after winning the tournament for three ly after lunch that day and conclude about 11 o’clock that night. Adams, our cottage matron, sent word to Miss Clark that she (Miss Adams) was glad that Miss Clark was well and could return to her work, so that we (the seniors) would be out of the way. Margaret Brooks is a very light blonde. While at Christian Endeavor her head above the seat was mis- taken for a bale of cotton. Catch the “square” idea?

We want to thank everyone for the nice things they sent us at Thanks- giving. We enjoyed them very much. One of our girls is at the Infirmary, but we hope everyone will be well for Old Santa's visit. Helen Cranfill had a visit from her aunt last Saturday. It was a lovely surprise for Helen. During the month of November, Miss Turner, our matron, gave prizes to the girls who were the best house- keepers. Six rooms received prizes. This month it looks as if all of the 15 rooms are going to receive an award. We want to wish all of our friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New for two months were Albemarle, Bei- mont, Bethesda (F), Fountain; Hun- tersvill#, Raven Rock and Thinity Avenue. Those which have the distinction of increasing three months running are Belmont, Bethesda (F), Hunters- ville and Trinity Avenue. And, that Sunday School which has shown larger amounts for four months in succession is Huntersville.
