ARCHIBALD JOHNSON (By Jos. B. Johnston) | Archibald Johnson is dead, and every daily in North Carolina is carrying editorials on this man. | A stranger might ask why? He | never acquired great wealth; he never held high political honors; he never did anything heroic, (as that word is commonly interpret- ed); and it was only in his death that he made the front page of the daily papers. Who was_ this man Johnson, anyway? Well, he no doubt had as much influence on the thinking of the peopie of North Carolina as any man who ever lived in the State. He no doubt did more for orphan chil- dren in North Carolina than any man that ever lived in North Caro- lina. He was the Editor of Charity and Children, the newspaper pub- lished each week at the Mills Home at Thomasville. It was a church paper, as well as an Orphanage paper. It was unique, in that it more than paid its own way. It was unique in many other respects; | it dared to raise its voice through its editorial columns against the evils in the business and political affairs of the State; in things that people might say were none) of its business; it continued to do it, however, in a way that was con-| structive because of the fact that Archibald Johnson wrote its edi-| torials and directed its editorial| policy. | How did he help the Orphan chil- dren of the State? Well, here is | just one way of many that he} helped. It was the privilege of the | writer of this article to speak to a little community Sunday School, a number of years ago. It was in the interest of an orphanage. A collection was taken. It was so large, for the size of the gathering, as to create comment. A poll was taken of the church affiliation of the people in this little group. There was a sprinkling of Pres- byterians; a sprinkling of Metho- dists, and a large percentage of Baptists; and that explained _ it. Every Baptist in North Carolina that reads Charity and Children (and that means 90% of the Bap- tists), are so filled with a knowl- edge of Orphanage work, and a desire to help, that whenever you get a group of them together and take a collection for any Orphan- age, it is a . liberal contribution. Mr. Johnson was largely responsi- b’e for the fact that the Baptists of North Carolina (while not the strongest denomination financially) stand way out in front in the amount of work done for destitute children. Archibald Johnson, together with that noble man of God, Rev. M. L. Kes'er, did a work for or- phans that will continue to bear fruit for years and centuries to come; and their successors in the persons of Dr. I. G. Greer, the head of the Mills Orphanage, and Rev. J. A. McMillan, as Mr. John- son’s successor as Editor of Charity and Children, have inherited a legacy that is a challenge and an € REGENTS OF THE ORPHANS’ | SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA, | MRS. A. T. JAMISON (By Jos. B. Johnston) The Tri-State Orphanage Con- ference meets once a year. It was started at Thornwell Orphanage many years ago, with Dr. Jacobs as one of the charter members. Only one charter member is now living—Dr. A. T. Jamison, Superin- tendent of Connie Maxwell Or- phanage. Dr. Jamison has never missed a meeting of the Tri-State Con- ference, and those of us who are accustomed to attend regularly, look forward to seeing, not only Dr. Jamison, but also Mrs. Jamison. She a'ways accompanied him, not just as a spectator, but as an active participant in the delibera- tions of the Conference. Her words of wisdom and her charm added to the pleasure and profit of these meetings. During the last few years, Mrs. Jamison’s health has not been good. Sometimes her stay at the Tri-State meetings has had to be cut short on account of her health, and now word has just come to us that Mrs. Jamison is dead. She will be missed by all of us who are accustomed to know her, not only at meetings of the Orphanage Conference, but when visiting Con- nie Maxwell Orphanage. Dr. Jamison is dean of the Or- phanage Superintendents in the Carolinas. Over thirty years’ ser- vice as the head of that great Bap- tist inctitution. His labors have heen shared by Mrs. Jam’‘son. Many things have been inavgu rated at Connie Maxwe] thzcuch her love and zeal. We have all lost a friend and leader. —P. 0. H.— WHAT’S THE ANSWER? Did you look at the Table of Re- ceipts for December? It is in-| teresting. This is the first time in| a number of years that Winston-. Salem has not held the lead. Con- cord holds it this year by a com- fortable margin. Fayettevi'le does not hold the cellar position. She has stepped ahead of two cther Presbyteries. We wish we could analyze these changes and see if we could arrive at the reason back of them. As a whole, contributions from all the Presbyteries are bet- ter than they were this time last year. The gifts are twelve cents per member better, which is just half way up to where it was five years ago. Contributions to the Orphanage naturally are affected by the pros- perity of a country, or the par- ticular section of the country mak- ing the contribution, and by that section’s interest in the Orphanage. We have been told repeatedly that if we would take in children from a certain church, that that would increase the interest of that church, and naturally increase the contri- butions. Well, during the last year, we have accepted more children from Wilmington Presbytery than from any other; and yet, Wilming-' ton holds the bottom in the amount of gifts. Mecklenburg rates next in the number of children received in- to the Orphanage, and Mecklen- ARIUM | of just a year ago. She is one of jthe four Presbyteries that has not yet registered a gain. Let’s look at the economic con- |the country. We ali know that ;cotton and tobacco raising has been more profitable this year than for many, many years. Wil- mington certainly must have felt that benefit of this changed con- dition. It certainly has been noted in Fayettevi.le Presbytery by a distinct gain. The tobacco factory | sections are still prosperous (so we are told), and yet we find Gran- ville and Winston-Salem Presby- teries both falling behind last year in their contributions, with Gran- ville next to the bottom of all the Presbyteries contributing. Concord Presbytery has not put the most children into the Or- phanage, and does not comprise the richest territory, by any means. In fact, it embraces possibly more of the cotton mil industry than any other Presbytery, and we are told that the cotton mill industry has not yet reached its full degree of health; and yet, Concord ev - dent.y forgot their troubles and responded wholeheartedly to the | Orphanage appeal. | There must be some other ele-| having ment that has to do with Orphan- while 28 have responded from Fay- think etteville. age giving. What do you could be the reason? MEALS SERVED BY &. 8. Presbytery (Continued From Page One) Schools, 20 others have given as much as $100.00, three new ones joining this group in December. In order are Salisbury First $288.50, Gastonia First $275.46, Olivia $237.56, Belmont $211.58, Shelby §2U1.49, Venth Avenue $198.59, North Wilkesboro $186.34.

New Salem in Concord Presbytery sent their first regular amount; Hebron in Granville sent a regular sum through Presbytery’s Treasur- er Burlington First Sunday Schoo’ reported their first gift but it hasn’t been learned whether the budget method or the Sunday-per-month Offerin~ plan is being used. Pearsall Memorial in Wilmington had annually sent something to Pa- rium, but monthy amounts have been coming since Sentem- ber and it wac definitely learned last month that they had set eside one offering per month to Barium. Another new Sunday School hes already reported since the first of January, and you'll be to’d abovt this in the Fehrvarv is ur.

To date, a total of 631 organi-| zations have he:ped Barium by) sending regular sums, and many more than this helped in the Thanksgiving Offering, as would be seen had figures been tabulat-| ed on this. Sunday Schools lead in the number, with 240 having re- ported regular sums. The church budgets are second with 196, and the Auxiliaries trail with 181. It is predicted the latter will soon overcome their nearest rival. Four- teen Young People’s groups have sent in regular gifts, which is a much better record than for 1933- 1934. In budget giving from the churches, Comcord Presbytery is far ahead with 40 reporting such contributions; Mecklenburg is the runner-up with 30 churches. Fay- etteville Presbytery continues to maintain its substantial lead in Sunday Schools giving regularly. That Presbytery has 48, followed by Mecklenburg with 35. These two Presbyteries switch positions in Auxiliaries reporting, for Meck- leburg leads this group with 39 reported regular gifts, Organizations helping according to Presbyteries fol’ow: Ch. §. 8S.

In December, 15 additional churches reported contributions through their regular budgets, though the Auxiliaries were not far behind with 12 new ones re- porting.

Al- though Santa brought us many nice presents we were sorry that our matron, Miss McGoogan, could not be with us during Christmas. Her sister was very ill and she was with her. Miss Mary Brown stayed with us while she was away and we enjoyed having her. Mrs. Herbert McLean, of Rae- ford, sent us a big bag of walnuts and we want to thank her for them. We appreciate the nice victrola and the many fine records which were sent to the Orphanage dur- ing Christmas by Dr. J. H. Hender- lite, of Gastonia. We enjoy the music very much and it will make the hours more p'easant for us. We want to thank Mrs. John Sprunt Hill for the money she sent us for Christmas. A few of our girls have the flu. We hope that they soon will be wel! and that the rest of us will not take it. Nancy Parce’l. WOMAN’S BUILDING Jan. 3, 1935 Hello Folks: We hope every one had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our resolutions have been made and we’re going to do our best to keep them throughout the entire year. Santa Claus brought every one of us many gifts, which we have. enjoyed and are enjoying more than we know how to express. Basketball practice is in swing and our first game is with China Grove next Tuesday night. | If practice makes perfect, Coach Bell’s team will take the victory) easily. The sewing room girls are mek:- ing outing pajamas for the little boys at Lee’s Cottage. At the rate they are going now the pajamas wil be finished in time to be worn in the hot summer months. But, maybe they will show some speed and finish them in time to be worn while it is still cold. A happy New Year to Everyone! —Sewing Room Girls. LEE’S COTTAGE Our holidays are over and we enjoyed them very much. We hope every one had as merry a Christ- mas as we had. Every one who played Santa Claus to us sent us just the things we were wanting most and we appreciate them. Some good friends sent us candy and fruit which we enjoyed all dur- | ine the holidays. Our sidewalks were crowded during the Christmas vacation, w'th boys and girs skating on the skates which had been given them on December 25th. A number of us had_ pleasant visits from friends and relatives. We are looking forward to see- ing some good basketball games on our court soon. We listened in and heard the big Rese Bowl footbal game New Year’s Day. Miss Turner is planning to spend the week-end with her sister in Ri: hfield. We want to wish all our good friends lots of happiness during the coming year. COTTAGE NEWS | Thanksgiving Offering, $9.52. Jackson Springs Aux. Circle quilt. Hope Mills Aux., 1 quilt.

Death brought grief and scr- row to several of the Orphanage workers during January. The sister of Miss Kate McGoogan, matron of Annie Lou‘se Cot- tage; the sister-in-law of H. L. Thomas, postmaster and in charge of orchards; and the brother-in-law of Ernest Mil- ton, treasurer, all died within the space of ten days. Friends deeply sympathize with them in the death of these loved ones. The children at Barium gained over a ton in weight last vear. We wish we knew exactly how many tons of food they had eaten dur ng that same period of time. P. 0. H. Fricnds were mighty good to us at Christmas time, and we want to thank every organization and every individual for having made that season so delightful and happy for the children here. Thousands of people had a part in playing Santa Claus to every- bedy on the campus. P.-0. Ay Since the beginning of the 1954- 1935 fiscal year, 62 friends of the Orphanage have sent a total of $70.50 which was especially con- tr‘buted toward defraying the cost of publishing The Barium Messenger. It encourages us to think that these 62 readers have expressed themselves in this splendid way. We send out over 21,000 copies of this paper every month. —P, 0. Times may be a little better than they were two or three} years ago, but despite this the| .pudnaye has invest.gated more applications jurinz 1934-1935 it did during the previous \ r. We still have many, many demands, and st ll f.nj it nece - sary to say “No” to many appl cations. Despite our efforts to keep down the population, the number stands today at 302. P. O. H.— We hope that there will be some other Thanksgiving Offer- | ing from some church or churches n Winston-Salem Presbytery so that we can announce that every Presbytery gave a larger Thanks- giving sum in 1934 than in 1933. Of course, some did better than others. We congratulate Concord upon that great increase. Orange and Fayetteville Presbyteries have likewise shown much better totals for 1934 than the previous fear. —P. 0. H.— There are 518 receipts in the desk of the treasurer of the Or- phanage which have not been sent to treasurers of organizations or individuals because they have written that receipts were not necessary. “We know that you apprec'ate it,” they write, “and our eancelled check will be — suf- ficient receipt.” This saving to the Orphanage is amounting to a sub- stantial sum over a period of time, and seldom a month passes but that some other treasurers join |two others early in those many others who have asked us not send receipts. P. 0. H.— Many people are sending mem- Every month se eral .\orial gifts to the Orphanage when friends or loved ones die, and in | jthe past nine months the sum re- | ceived at Barium as memorial gifts totals $278.40. These contri- butions are largely sent In lieu of money which would be spent on tiowers at the funeral. On several occasions surviv.ng relatives have requested that their friends fol low this procedure. Ths is a plan which is constantly growing in} popularity and it means that the usefulness of the lives of the ce- ceased are continued in the lives of the children at Barium. —P. 0. H.— Word comes to us that the Men’s Club of the Charlotte First Church nus voted to support an Orphan- age boy for a year. The support of this chap will be entirely volun- tary. After mak ng this decision, a box was placed at the door so shat those who desired to do so could put ther contribut.on in it. The first night the members con- tributed over $37.00 toward this year’s support. Five or six Men’s Clubs or Men’s Classes support a child by their gifts to the Or- phanage. The spirit with which the Men’s Club of Charlotte has begun this is quite gratifying. P. 0. H.— In the November issue of The Mes enger we wrote that th School had Beulav lle increased their regular verv month since April. That re- markable record continues without | nterruption. Take a peep at this: April $1.20; May $1.21; June $1.58; uly $3.03; August $3.14; Septem- 3.56; October $4.06; Decem- Sunday ‘November that Sunday School jcent us a Thanksgiving Offering of $12.91. Will they increase their givine during the remaining tw months of 1934-1935? If so. w believe that will be an unparalleled word. | Fr. 0. The water shortage at the Or | phanage has become so acute |that the digging of a new wel! ‘s an ‘mperative and a_ pressing | need. Th's has been authorized and ‘work will be started upon this jiust as soon as a well-digging | \f'rm has apparatus in this section. | |The supply of the two prevent | wells has been gradualiy diminish- jing for several years, and only |within recent months has the situation become acute. The dig- ging of another well has been postponed just as long as possible, but the health and property is en- |dangered by the scarcity of water right now. The expense of this is determined by how soon water is reached. It is hoped that a good |stream will be struck early. —P. 0. H.— Sunday | Schools join the ranks of the many lothers which are sending the Or- |phanage one offering per month. |There are three more mentioned in this issue of The Messenger, and we have had reports from February, which we will tell you about next month. This is an easy way for many people to have a part in the operation of the institution. giving | her $5.70, and January $6.27. In| Page Two BARIUM MESSENGER The combined offerings of many \that the most encouraging fi- Sunday Schools make an impres- sive total, ang the further beauty HOME about this giving is that it means ifunds for the Orphanage every month of the year. The Sunday Schools have sent over $11,000 in ten months’ time. That figure will be nearer $15,000 by the end of the year. Just think what it would be if every Sunday School inaugurated this plan, or re-in- stateq ‘it! —P. 0. H— taken from the January 24th issue of The Rutherford News, under the heading of “Presbyterian Paragraphs”: ‘the first month’s offering p.an totaled $907.90. The average for the eight months prev.ous was $246.33. We are | now in the second month of | the Covenant, although some | did not start until vanuary. | That’s just one of the many in- stances of the succes of the | L ‘mont Covenant plan. We would | like toe minsters or officers viuroughout the Synod to wr.te us Lhe acts ox ther exper.ence. We | | would like to pitlih many of | nese, believing that it would be | an inspiration to those which have not adopted this plan. This tithing is going to mean con- | siderabie to the local church fi- ij nances and to every cause. Let us ‘hear from you about the success you have enjoyed since this plan | was adopted. | —FP. 0. H.— | OPTIMISM OR PESSIMISM? For the first time in a_ long, long while there was an optimistic tone in the January issue of The Barium Messenger. What was | your react.on to it? Did you have \a feel.ng of self-complacency that /the Synod had done well to show a several thousand dollar in- crease? As an outgrowth of this, did you feel that since theie was an increase, you could s.t back and let the Orphanage roilick alton for a while w.thout making a con- tribution? Or, d.d this fact act as an inspirat.on to you to increase your efforts in behalf of the Or- | phanage and to enlarge your ccn- ir.butions to the institution? | ihe.e was more than one person who feit that it was an unwise | | procedure £0 tell our friends about lithe increase. The thought behind lther e¢xpress.ons Was thar .t would stuit.fy the giving; dry it up, so to speak. They did not th.nk lthat this would be tiue of anyone who was thoroughly familiar with the Orphanage, its work ana it obugauons, but contended tha any person who was passive:y lterested might be inclined to w.tt ‘hold the.r nickels and d.mes, tre:. quarters and halves, or perhaps ae dollars. iy you were in the latter cate- gory, quickiy disspell such from your mind. Remember that there’s i.» increased cost of living this j} year, and that this larger Thank - ig.ving Offering will barely more chan take care of the addeu cosi lot operation during 1934-1935. I ithere is to be any material reduc- | tion in the indebtedness of the in- | stitution, it must come because of ja larger regular giving, and «: | pecially so in this final quarter of the church year. Our observation has been thar there has been more favorable re |} act.on to our January issue of The Messenger than unfavorabie. li seems to have insp.red most | groups to increase the.r efiorts in behalf of the institution. That is especially noted in the Sunday Schooi Offerings which came to the Orphanage during January an. those which have arrived during the early days of February before 'th.s was wr.tten. It was announced to the Synod ot North Carol.na that the total indebtedness of the institution on March 31, 1984, was $107,490.74. The auditor’s report, prepared for the Duke Endowment Foundation on December 31st, showed that the total obligations as of that date were $97,242.02. It seems that a look at the latter figure would off- set any tendency to “let up” in giving. It is encouraging that the dif- ference in these two figures is now $10,248.72, but it must be remem- bered that this December 3ist re- port is prepared immediately after the Thenksgiving Offering has been received, Whether this figure of $97,242.02 increases or decreases between now and March 31st de- pends upon the regular giv.ng of January, February and March. It behooves all friends of the insti- tution to lend their efforts during these «.os ng months in order The following paragraph i | | ! . me under the Beimont Covenan | Ch ics. O’Kelley. ' i | nancial report of several years may be a reality. There is a probability that this will be true, but 78,000 Presby- terians will decide this by their contributions before our books are closed on March 31, 1935. HONOR ROLL FOR FIFTH MONTH 1934-1935.

A look at the comparative stand- ings for the months of January, 1934 and 1935, respectively, is in- teresting and is as follows: Presbytery Year Ago This Year Concord 3rd Ist Winston-Salem Ist 2nd Albemarle 2nd 3rd Kings Mountain 4th 4th Orange Tth 5th | Mecklenburg 5th 6th Granville 6th ith Fayetteville 9th sth Wilmington 8th Sth Kings Mountain is the only Pres- pytery that is in the identical position that it occupied at the iciose of January, 1954. Another comparison with a year |ago is the per member average, and this shows that six of the | Presbyteries are ahead of wha they had contributed, while the ‘other three have fallen behind the January, 1934, average. Of course, Concord is leading the parade, hav.ng sent 63%4 cents more in the ten months of 1954- 1935 than in the same months of 1933-1934. Fayetteville is 11% cents ahead; Albemarle, 7; Wil- mington, 5%; Orange 112, and Granville, 1 cent ahead of last year. These behind are Mecklenburg, whose average is 8% cents less than in January, 1934; Kings Mountain which is 6% cents less, and Winston-Salem which is 3% jcents behind. ' The entire Synod a year ago was 30 cents behind the minimum average, while it is 25.9 behind this year. Synod has therefore sent 4.1 cents more in the past ten months, but this increase will barely take care of the increased cost of living this current year. W nston-Salem Presbytery the only one which has failed to pass the 1935 Thanksgiving Offer- ing when the books were closed on January 31st. In_ last month’: issue of The Messenger, fc Presbyteries had accomplished this, and the January from the Thanksg seat four others across. Salem lacked only $37.73 of re ach- ‘ng its 1933 Thanksgiving total, and poss bly some supplementary offerine or original gifts will send them * before the end 1S Cover of February.

The 110-pound boys’ team again won the championship in their conference, after a bad _ start. They lost their first game to Scotts, but won all the others.

This leaves only three Presbyteries, Concord, Kings Mountain and Wilmington, whicn did not come up to the.r February, 1954, amounts. ; As a whole, the Synod of North Carolina contributed eight-tenths ‘of a cent more in the past 2& days than in February, 1934, and at the conclusion of the eleventh month of 1934-1935, Synod was 4.9 cenis ahead of 1933-1934.

The only change in the standing of the Presbyteries taking piace in February was a further advance of Orange, which went into fourth place, sending Kings Mountain back to fifth.

Presents and good wishes, we hope, have or will come to you. Why not have a little celebration | of your own milestone event by operating Barium for a while that day? See the schedule ome at that time, contribut.ons in it about the H its activities and from various organizations and individuals. We notice that a “Press Fund” was listed, and our conclusion is that this was money contr buted toward publishing the paper. In that issue alone, $33.25 was recorded as having been given by individuals toward the cost o issuing the publication. We hope our friends will take cognizance of what was being done 32 years ago toward publishing an Orphan- age paper. —P, 0. H.— The Dacotah Sunday School, of |over near Lexington, is evidently what it costs for daily operation trying to duplicate the perform- elsewhere and make your own birthday a happier one because of your assistance to Barium. —P. 0. H.— These annual basketball tourna- ments at Barium are growing in popularity. The attendance at the one in February superceded any previous records. And, there’s lots of good will created for the Or- phanage by _ bringing together basketball teams from 10 counties. The Barium teams do not partici- pate, but the members of the Or- phanage quintet and sextette act as hosts to the visiting aggre- gations. —P. 0. H.— There is a possibility that the Orphanage is going to have _ its | best financial report on March | 21, 1935, that it has had since 1930-1931. Whether this is a re- ality depends upon the receipts from Synod in this final month of the fiscal year. It will have to be a much better income than the re- ports received for March during the past three years, but we think that is going to be true. P. 0. H.— Februarv 25th this vear was oute a different day from that of February 25, 1934. It was on the latter date that the campus was devastated by an ice and sleet storm, when lights were out for | almost 24 hours and when tele- | phone service was disrupted for nearly a month. This February 25th was a balmy and delightful dav. We're glad. We would not want to be annually visited by experienced a storm as we a year ago. P. 0. H.— The Smyrna Auxiliary down in Fayetteville Presbytery showed its ! iation of The Barium Mes- appre riun senger as an organization by sending us $10.00 last month. What a thrill that was to us! We commend this action to the con- sideration of other Auxiliaries. We’re approaching the close of the fiscal period and if Aux- iliaries have surpluses it would be fine to set aside some of it and send it to Barium for this paper. This applies to churches and Sun- day Schools, too. —P, 0. H.— A friend of the Orphanage has recently forwarded us the June. 1902, copy of “Our Fatherless Ones,” the name of the Orphanage paper before it was changed to The Barium Messenger. There is much interesting reading matter ance of the Beulaville Sunday | School. Dacotah started the plan of giving an offering to Barium in December and every month since that time they have shown in- creases. In December it was $2.87; in January the Offering amounted to $4.89, and it went to $6.50 in February. That’s great! By the way, Beulaville Sunday School showed another increase in Feb- ruary, which makes a continuously larger amount every month since the fiscal year started in April. Their gift reached Barium on March ist, too late for recording n this month’s issue of The Mes- senrer, but it will be there next month. —P. 0. H.— One of our friends sent us $1.00 lnot long ago towards defraying lthe cost of publishing The Mes- jsenger. Each dollar means a lot |to us, and we wrote and told her |so. In a few days came anothe. lletter and in it was another dollar which a friend of hers had like- wise given toward the paper. |Your letter received and I am sure I did not realize how much | o little could mean to you.” she wrote, and continuing, “I, mediately, asked my good friend, -- — if she wou'd not like to send you one dollar for The Messenger and she was ie! ghted to do so. Said she knew f ‘no place’ she had rather send ne than to you. ‘s enclosed in my letter, as I |promised to send it for her.” | And, she went on to write that she expected to get other friends to send dollars, too. That’s a commendable — spirit. There ar 21,000 copies of The Messenger mailed out each month. Suppose these 21,000 people felt similarly to this friend of the Orphanage? Won’t you do more than “sup- posing”? P. 0. H.— THOUGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AND OTHER THINGS. We _ recently had a Sunday Schcol lesson on Annanias and Saphira. And it sometimes puzzles us as to just who are the modern «xamples of these two characters. Annanias was certainly not struck dead for his failure to contribute to the church. Nor was he struck dead for cheating. If that par- ticular punishment was meted out to all modern people who fail to contribute to the Lord’s work, or who cheat in business, the popula- Charlotte | N. Wilkesboro | im- | Her dollar | tion of the world so much that the unemployment s.tuat.on would handle itself! the crime of Annanias and Saph- ira? Well, to begin with, we must analyze this situation a little bit Just who are today committing ito see if we can find out. This |man and woman were church |members. They ev dently. stqod pretty high in the circles of the church, an then th roposal to |<" \e" : . =e i Ween ‘the propos jof his neighbors. His circle of in- do the thing sponsored at that time was made, they were evi- dently right up in front, answer- ing with an affirmative vote where everybody could see them. if there were any papers to sign, they no doubt affixed their signe- tures early and prominently; but when the tme came to deliver, they tried to hold their reputa- tion and their money, too. The crime that they apparently committed and for which such ‘terrible punishment was meted out was for saying that they were do- ing something and then not doing it. We want to submit for your _cons:derat.on, a few cases and ask you to pass judgment, and ‘see if it is possible that ther could be some kinship between the ‘in of Annanias and these mod- on things? Several days ago, a minister approached us and said: “You know we have a very del cate situation at our church. Over two lyears ago our Church and Sun- day School voted to send one month’s offering from the Sun- | ay School to the Orphanage. 'This was brought up before the Session, was duly passed and all | lone in perfect order, but our ‘rea urer just refuses to send it. | Now our treasurer is a fine man, |but it just seems that he can not |get it into his head—or won't ithat this money ought to go to |Barium. He just keeps the money, and when we need anything— money to pay the _ preacher. j/money to buy Sunday Schoo: |books, he uses it for that and {does not send it to Barium.” | And, the church goes right along telling its Sunday School ‘members that the contribut on |today is for Barium Springs, and |they continue to turn it over to the treasurer who is a good man, but does not feel inclined to use it as ordered. They say they are turning this money over for a certain part of the Lord’s work, but they hold it back. The preacher who told us this seemed to think that his case wa unusual. We venture to say that there is not a month that goes |by that we do not have similai |complaints, as though we could do something about it. Here ‘s an- other church that was taking an offering for Barium in their Sun- day School. The Sunday School gifts increased under this pro- gram from four to five dollarsa Sunday up to in the neighborhood of $25.00. After a while some thrifty members of the church thought that that was entirely too ;much to send to Barium so they continued to take the offering, but just sent us $10.00, using the bal- ance for their current needs which were manifold. They told the eon gregation that they were taking the collection for Barium, but they held back part for other purposes. It doesn’t say in the Bible for what Annanias and Saphira held back that money. Possibly they wanted to endow a college or want- ed to help build a new church, or something. It doesn’t seem impor- tant what they were holding it back for. The important thing is | that they held it back. Here is another church—a right iwealthy church this one is—that | has a treasurer who feels that the Thanksgiving Offering is entirely ;too much, and he | divides that |Thanksg:ving Offering up, only lsending 7% of it to Barium. The rest of it is going into the jother church causes. They tell the jecongregation in that church: “We want you to contribute liberally to jthis Thanksgiving Offering for our poor helpless children at Barium | Springs.” They put on all the pres- sure; they tell all the sob stories, and then when that money comes in liberally, they send 744% to the cause they said they were giving it for, and hold back the rest, and use it for something else. Here is another church that took an offering of $1,200.00 at one Thanksgiving. But, when the time came to send that to the Orphan- age, they were behind with the pastor’s salary and the coal bill, and several other items, and they only sent $200.00. . They told the neople that this contribution was for the Orphanage. They sent would shrink | MR. W. D. TROUTMAN “NEIGHBOR” On Friday, March Ist., in our neighboring town of Troutman, there died a man whom we be- lieve will be missed by more peo- ple than any man of quaintance. He had lived at the ‘one place all of his life. He had t | | The held one job for 40 years. He had had a part in every community enterprise that looked to the good fluence had expanded until it took ‘in thousands of people. The school at Troutman was one of the things that occupied a lot of his thoughts and was his pride. Troutman Fair was startea through his efforts and his sug- gest.ons. He had lots of thing: that he was interested in, but he /was never too busy to lend a help- i | ‘so liberal.” They are all saying | hand to anyone who sought whom he saw needed ng nis heip, or h.s heip. At his funeral many old Ba- rium Spr:ngs boys and girls were present. There were those of re- cent years, and those of that first group of youngsters who compos- ed the original family at Barium Springs. All had known him anc loved him. We don’t know what word to use in describing this man. If he had been active in nation- 4 aiuairs, we would call him catesman; if he had used his un- usual talents for the accumulation of money, we would call him a tinancier. He certainly was great organizer, but never ac- quired any fame in this because his talents in this regard were for the help of other people rath- er than for himself. Of all the words that might be used, we be- lieve the one that fits best is tha é homely word, Neighbor. He was the ideal neighbor. We know the town of Trout- man will miss hm. Our family at Barium will miss him. He had 1. way of being neighborly and in making all who knew him wani to be neighborly. $200.00 and held back $1,000, and when we were inclined to make an issue of this, we were hushed up. “You mustn’t say anything about this. If you do, you will hurt some- body’s feelings and cause a split in our church,” was the advice given us. Oh, we know that the relatives of Annanias must have felt terri- bly about Peter’s rude outspoken words. It would have been so much better to have whispered that where it could have been kept in the family. We have recently reduced the size of our Messenger. It does not carry as much space as formerly; hence it won’t be possible for us to enumerate all of the instances like this that have come to our at- tention. We should have to get out an extra edit.on. These are not isolated cases; hey ave numerous. it’s funny, but people that are scrupulously hon- est with trust funds, with other pvoples’ money .n everything, wil somehow use contributed money as though they could do with it as they pleased.

One of the satisfying about Sunday School le. sons, part cularly temperance lessons, is that we can get so indignant over them. We can point out the helpless. down and out figure in the gutter, and just pour out our wrath upon him—the cheat, the swindler—all these things at which we can point the finger of wrath and de- nunciation. And, no doubt, we can think back 2,000 years and buin poor old Annanias up, and if that is all we did about it, that Sun- day School lesson would be ab solutely wasted. Let’s get the finger of scorn pointed right at those of ourselves who are guilty even today, in this enlightened ageinour own church and our beloved North Carolina, of the very crime of Annanias anc and Saphira! What a pity that along with this crime, we do not have a survival of such characters as Peter to stand out and call it by the name that it deserves! —P. 0.

On February 14th., Mrs. Bri- gance, the mother of one of the girls, sent each one of us a Val- entine. We appreciated them very much. One of the girls had a birthday and her mother sent her a cake, We enjoyed helping her eat it. Two of our girls are going to the movies for February for mak- ing the highest average in school. We hope there will be more next month. We were invited to the movies last month to see “The Last Gentleman.” We enjoyed it very much. We have enjoyed all the bas- ketball played on our court this winter. We were pleased to have Mrs. Kerr stay with us while Miss McGoogan spent the week end with her friends near Raeford. Sevbral of our girls were m the program given when the Civic Clubs met at Barium. Nancy Parcell HOWARD \’Lo Friends: This is the last day of Febru- ary and we came home with our ;report cards. One of our sixth |grade girls, Mary Adams, made the highest average in her school room and will go to the movies ‘for this month.

In reporting the affair The Statesville Daily said, in part: “At the close of the program, Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, general manager of the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home, spoke briefly, ex- tending welcome to the visitors. Mr. Johnston explained that when they launched the idea of joint dinner meetings of the clubs of the two Iredell towns _ thirteen years ago, that they put ‘some frills’ in the manner of serving the meal, but he decided that what the guests wanted was some ‘solid rations,’ therefore he had been carrying out that idea in later years. The fellowship, the excellent dinner and the enter- tainment were up to the high ex- pectations of the c.vic people who look forward, with pieasant an- ticipations, to these meetings sve.y year.” Income Distribution The Sunday Schools led in giv- ing to the Orphanage in Febru- ary, sending the institution $1,- 054.39 of its regular income of $2,657.32. The church budgets con- tributed $833.69, and the Auxili- aries were net far behind with the remaining amount of $769.24. No reports were received in Feb- ruary from Young People’s Soci- eties. For the entire year, the church budgets are leading the field w:th the sum of $14,299.70 from that source. The Sunday Schools are $1,764.58 behind with aggre- gate of $12,436.12, while the Aux- iliaries have contributed $6,725.80 to the regular support fund and | $55.89 has come to Barium from | Young people’s groups. i Distribution of the regular re- ceipts to date is shown below: n n [Month Ch.

During March, the Presbyteries of Kings Mountain, Concord, Oran- ge and Wilmington contributed more than they did in March, 1934, while the other five, Winston- Salem, Albemarle, Mecklenburg, Granville and Fayetteville, report- ed smaller sums. Winston-Salem Presbytery is leader for both years up to date. Albemarle was the second, today :t is third; Kings Mountain was third last year, it is fourth this month; Concord was fourth a year ago, it ranks second this year; Mecklenburg was iifth lest vear. it’s sixth today; Granville was in sixth place in March, 1934, but it is seventh now; Orange wa was seventh a year ago, now it) ‘s fifth this month; while Wilming- | ton and Fayetteville were respec- tively in eighth and ninth places In t year, but that standing has becn reversed at the close of March.

However, during the first part of April gifts on the old year have been received, and the final ‘abulat en of this next month is going to he revealing. During ‘arch $1,895.08 came to Barium from Sunday School responses, : compared with $1,838.30 for the same month of 1934. That wes 2-n increase of only a little over $50. Throughout 1933-1934, the Sun- day Scheols contr buted a tota’ of $13,466.42, and on March 21st., the sum was $14,331.20. This was 3584.78 more than all of the last year put together, and when thos old year reports which were re ceived in April are tabulated, the Sunday Schools are going to show an increase of over $2,000.00 in in their giving to Barium during School classifi- Eleven other Sunday into the $100.00 cation in March, bringing number of Sunday Schools which buve given as much as $100.00 te ‘46.

Sprunt Memorial in Orange Presbytery has been sending special sums to Barium from time to time, but have now definitely instituted the plan of a monthly giving to Bar.um. At the close of the year, Coolee- mee sent a fine amount to the Orphanage, and it has _ been learned that they are following the Sunday-per-month plan in the future. Watch the May issue of The Messenger for the names. of other Sunday Schools’ which have inaugurated during April 'a regular plan of helping Ba- ling the _ rium. tion was cerrect. At the time of going to press, three others had joined this group, and only one more is necessary to make the esi'mate come true.

Thus, at the close of March 3i1st., 383 churches were in the class.fication, while seven others have given the same amounts for both years. This is a grand total of 340 churches which have either equalleq or gone beyond their previous year’s giving to Barium. ‘ reat number of there 33% churches were in this grouping a year ago, but space in this issue (i ihe messenger does not per- mit the listing of these churches just now. However, this will prob- ably be done in the June issue of the peper, for it is rather dis- tinctive to increase the giving to Barium two years in succession. The recording of those churches which have done th’s, it is be- the lieved, will be an inspiration for them to duplicate this perform- ance in 1935-1936. watch the May issue of The ow Me senger for the final list of churches which have “gone over”.

XII TEN GIRLS AND EIGHT BOYS GRADUATED FROM HGH SCHOOL AT BARIUM SPRINGS LAST MONTH ALMOST HL Splendid Addresses Made by Three Speakers. Many Special Awards Made at Final Exercises.—Bibles Presented to Each Senior on Graduation Night The 1935 commencement is over. and with its conclusion on Mon- day nieht, April 22nd. ten girls and eight boys finished their courses in the high school at the Presbyterizn Orphans’ Home. Six- teen of these were enolled in the Orphanage, while the other two were sons of workers at the institutien. Those concluding their high school work were Elsie Brown, of Oxford; Leone East, of Winston- Salem; Maude Inman, of Wil- mington; Thelma Johnston, of Hickory Grove; Laura Lane Me- Kee, of Clarkton: Bonnie McKenzie. of Carthage; Miriam Sanders. of Raleigh: Irene Shannon, ef Gas- tonia; Iris Spencer, of Morgan- ton; Joy Stone, of Hickorv: Ed¢- ward Burney, of Clarkton: Ernest Clark, of Bolton; Cheek Freeman of Charlotte; Eston Lackev, of Barium Springs; T. L. O’Kellev, Jr., of Barium Springs; A. D Potter, of Kinston; Sydney Par- rish, of Red Springs, and Carson Wood. of Durham. The four-day period of exercises began on Friday night with a presentation by the gammar grades and individuals; the bac- calaureate and Young People’s League sermons were preached on Sunday; the class-day exercises were on Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock and the final program started at 7:30 p. m. Monday. After the processional, Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Little Joe’s church, pronounced the invoca- tion and T. —L. O’Kelley, second honor student, delivered the salutatory address. Elsie Brown, one of the seniors, ren- dered a piano solo and the seventh grade sang “Waiting for the Springtime”. In the absence of Mrs. J. Q. Holton, seventh grade teacher who was ill and who usualy awards the seventh grade certifi- cates, this was done by Mr. T. L. O’Kelley, head of the local schools. Dr. Lynn’s address was follow- ed by a piano duet by Iris Spencer and Maude Inman and R. G. Cal- houn presented the graduates with their diplomas. He also an- nounced that music certificates would later be sent to Elsie Brown, Maude Inman and _ Iris Spencer. T. L. O’Kelley, Jr., presi- | acknowledged Mr. dent of the class, the diplomas, after which Brown presented the Bibles. Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, superinten- dent of the Orphanage, presented the medals. The most coveted one is the Ace medal. This annually goes to the Senior who, by a vote of the officials, workers, teachers and high school members, has done the most consistent work in all departments and who has made the most improvement dur- ing the whole life of the student while at the Orphanage. This went to Cheek Freeman. The runner-up was Ernest Clark. Iris Spencer won the Bible medal. This is given to that mem- ber of the senior class who has recited the Shorter Catechism and certain passages of the Bible, and who has also made the highest average in Bible for the high school course. The music improve- ment medal goes to that member of the music class who has made the greatest improvement in piano for the school year. Irene Fort won this and the runner-up was Lucy Bryant. Two scholastic medals, which are annually presented, and given to| those members of the high school ‘and the grammar grades who have made the highest averages for the immediate past year. T. L. ‘O’Kelley, Jr., won the high school medal with an average of 96.974 for the 1934-1935 scholastic ses- sion. Closely on his heels were Louise Wilson with an average of ‘96.842 and Miriam Sanders with 96.698. Myrtle Mills won the grammar school scholastic medal. Her average was 94.5.

M: AY SUNDAY SCHOLLS § Fayetteville Presbytery Double Distinction, in $100.00 Group There were approximately 330.- 000 meals served at the Orphanage during the past year, for 300 children served three times a dav and multiplied by 365 days of the BIFTS NUMBERED age year figures out to be exactly 228,500. Sunday Schools of the ea |; Synod, through monthly Names of Churches Given and eee i pe been challenged to Also Distribution Accord} serve all of the meals at the ion According Orphanage, and for convenient to Presbyteries The 1934-1935 record that 385 churches or mission | points in the Synod of North Caro- jlina inerensed their giving to the Orphanage over the previous year and that seven of them gave ‘dentical sums for the two fiscal periods. This is a granc total of 392 that either equalled or went beyond their giving of the 1933- 1934 year. The churches which exceeded their giving were distributed be- tween Albemarle Presbytery 32, Concord 48, Fayetteville 64, Gran- ville 30, Kings Mountain 21, Meck- lenburg 68, Orange 47, Wilming- ton 49 and Winston-Salem 26. Those churches which gave the same amounts for the two years were Bridgewater and Siloam in Concord Presbytery, Four Oaks in Fayetteville, Fairview in Gran- ville, Gilead in Orange, Brown Marsh in Wilmington and Dan- bury in Winston-Salem.

However on that basis, the giv- ing of the Sunday Schools in 1934- 11935 could have served 155,949 of ,those meals, which is not quite half of the total. This means that the Sunday Schools regularly contributed $15.594.02 to ths Orphanage in the past 12 months which is $2,127.61 more than they gave in 1933-1934. Consequently, 21,276 more meals could have been served the Barium children by the offerings from the Sunday Schools in the fiscal period which just ended. Fayetteville Presbytery had , the double distinction of having the largest number of Sunday Schools regularly assisting Ba- rium during the past year and of giving the greatest amount of any Presbytery. There were 52 Sunday Schools in Fayetteville which sent the Orphanage a total NEW SUNDAY SCHOOLS Anderson Sunday School in Albemarle Pres'ytery, and The Gleaners in Ghee High Point Sunday School in Orange Pres- bytery were the new-comers last month to that ever-increas- ing rank of Sunday Schools giv- ing an offering per month to the Orphanage. It’s a real joy to learn of this, and there’s go- ing to be additional joy next month because it is already known that another Sunday School has incorporated — this in their program. ANY MORE? ot $2,729.97. Runner-up in those helping was Mecklenburg with 38 but Concord ranked second in the total amount given with $2,638.80. Granville Presbytery was at the bottom of the list with total con- tributed, the sum of that Presby- tery being $833.82, and Granville also tied Winston-Salem Presby- tary for the smallest number of Sunday Schools helping—13 in each of those two Presbyteries.

While Synod showed this sub- stantial increase over 1933-1934, it was still below the minimum amount of $1.20 needed, but the larger per capita amount is en- couraging and officials at the Orphanage believe that the giving is on its way to a normal income.

COMMENCEMENT (Continued From Page One) in and sang “Farewell, Dear Seniors” as they stood behind the chairs of the graduates, Miriam Sanders, first honor student, de- livered the valedictory and the exercises closed with the benedic- tion pronounced by Dr. Lynn. “Preparedness” was the — sub- ject of the commencement _ad- dress delivered by Rev. L. Ross Lynn, D. D., superintendent — of Thornwell Orphanage, at the clos- ing exercises, which proceeded as follows: In his address Dr. Lynn _ said that he did not intend to speak on the problem of national prepared- ness but in terms of individual preparedness, their duties and their responsibilities. He said that when the whistle blows for a foot- ba!l team to take the field it does not take much imagination for any person to realise all that has gone before in the preparation of such the eleven men selected, as diet, drilling, drudgery, mastery of plays, self-discipline, and other The whistle is now blow- each of you graduates be- going out to meet | askK you things. ing for cause you are life. IT want to tion, ‘Are you ready?’ He referred to Paul, calling at- on three the ques- tention to the fact that if 1t occasions he said, “I am rea ‘Paul seemed to be on his very tiptoes. He was ready to serve, to suffer, even to lay down his life. That which gave Paul this strength, this courage and this readiness was a profound realization of Christ in his life.” “Some of you,’ said Dr. Lynn, “may say that you haven't hada char because of the circum- sti under which you have obtained your preparation. Some ce of you may have been inclined to envy others—others who ride around in fine limousines, some ot whom ride in airplanes, some of whom live a life of ease. We who have had a chance to know life don’t think that. Our sym- pathy goes out to the sons and daughters of the rich, and not to the poor boy or girl. “Something goes into the mettle and makeup of a poor child that no rich child may be able to get. A rich man once said that he felt the poor boy or girl had advan- tages over the rich one.” At this juncture, Dr. Lynn referred to the achievements of the alumni of both Thornwell and jarium Springs and said that these peo- ple, with all of the handicaps and limitations of a place like an Orphanage, had attained success. “You're not ha'ndicapped,” he emphatically told them, “for you must recognize and feel that what- ever success you have already attained and whatever success shall come in the future will be because of your own efforts. You say that you aren’t especially prepared. I say to you that a boy or girl in here has a better chance than the ordinary high school boy or girl in getting their prep- aration.” Dr. Lynn aration lay contended that prep- grasping the great elemental and fundamental prin- ciples of life, and that no life could be successful without these. He said that a boy may be pre- pared for a professorship or dean- ship in a college as he works in a dairy. “What's the connection?” he asked. “It’s because that boy learns lessons of regularity, promptness, thoroughness, gentle- ness, patience, self-control and humility. Those are necessary and elemental things. “Unless there is incorporated in your life the great fixed and eternal principles of right, truth, honesty, purity, sobriety and un- selfish service you will not be a success. Fix some of these stand- | ards in your life and live by them, leven if the world goes in the other direction. Those who stray from ihese fundamentals are headed for destruction the same as a ship without a compass goes on the rocks.” In closing he told them that if they were going to live by the les- sons learned at Barium it would require courage—courage to stand by your convictions as to duty and responsibility. “I plead with you to take the eternal truths of God’s Book, live by it, even if you have to die for it. Baccalaureate Sermon Rev. J. H. Henderlite, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia, was the bac- calaureate sermon speaker, and he chose as his subject, “Be a Well-) Digger”. The kerne! of his ser- mon was “Be a_ weil-d make your life a weil of water other people.” Dr. Henderlite centered his ad- dress around Jacob’s well—a well which had been in existence for 17 centuries when Christ met the wo- | man of Samaria at its brink, and which continues to flow with re-| after | cooling drink another 19 centuries. As. he thought of this well and its re- freshing value, he compared it t a picture of a life, “aq life,” he said, “that shall be a blessing and an inspiration to other people. Go away and leave you,” he urged, “which will be a help to others.” freshing and He admonished his hearers that | the business of life was not how much money they made, but de- clared that it was how “you make your life count.” He advised them to live a deep life, one that isn’t shallow, superficial, filled solely with the desire to and to revel in pleasure. deep to the reservoir of moral and spiritual truth,” he urged, “and dig a well of truth, fellewship, service, courage and confidence.” “Conduct this business of dig- ging a well—a life,” he said, “in “Go down such a way that your fair play, | Welcome Sweet Springtime, Fourth | honesty and observance of the golden rule will be able to help other people to dig wells.” During a part of his sermon, the Gastonia minister told his hearers about the Dead Sea. An- swering his own question as to why it was called such, he said that it had the lowest level of any body of water in the world, i was likewise the saltiest and con- sequently the deadest. The 'a Christian nor |is particularly | appealing to young people. He |proceeded to recount the reasons lof this and first of all, he main- a well behind | make money, rea- | none too young when they reach the age of dis- cretion. But Christianity, he said, interesting and tained that it was because of the Founder—Christ. “Jesus was a young man, pos- sessed with all the fire and vigor and enthusiasm of youth. He was only 30 years of age—a com- jor young age—when His ministry began and but three years jolder when it was concluded. The |second reason advanced was that | Christ’s life was one of great in- tensity. His was a ceaseless, rest- less mood, and we know of His activity by the oft-repeated words | straightway, immediately and forthwith,’ throughout the accounts of His ministry. “Jesus was strong.” he advanc- ed as a third reason why He should appeal to young people, and the Lexington pastor pointed | out that He was strong in both a physical and moral way. “It took a strong man in those days,” he said, “to be a carpenter. He fasted 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, and no weakling could have done this. He drove out the money-changers in the temple. He went without rest and without eating, and He refused an opiate while on the cross. “Jesus was courageous,” another contention. “In the fece of religious leaders of the times and in going against what people had believed for centuries He showed great courage. Jesus Was always willing and anxious. He the courage to go to Jeru- salem, even though He knew what ee had awaited Him there.” _As a second major reason why Christianitv should appeal to vouth, Mr. Witherspoen said that is was the religion itself. “It is a religion of the present, one which we can enjoy now. It has benefits and blessing which any boy or girl can enjoy now, such as fellow- ship with Him, the strength and |power of the Holy Spirit. It also gives us something to do, and then dares us to do it. ‘If any man come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and fol- low me’,” he quoted, and claimed that there was plenty of daring in that command. Class-Day Exercises | Gathered together for the final assembly of the class as a unit, the seniors presented a_ novel | class-day program. Interspersed | with songs and witty remarks by individual members, the exercises | included the reading of the class history by Leone East, the last | will and testament by Joy Stone; the prophecy by Miriam Sanders and presentation of class gifts, eppropriate to each individual, by Laura Lane McKee.

When all old-year funds had | been recorded up to the time of ‘closing the books on April 25th, ithe record showed that only 134 ;churches or mission points in the Synod of North Carolina failed to measure up to their 1933-1934 giving to Barium. If five of those 134 churches had reached the previous year’s sums, the total necessary from the other 129 would be comparatively ismall. Five of the churches fell behind last year’s totals a com- bined amount of $1,477.51, leav- ing $1,179.11 for the other 129 ‘churches. This means that thee 134 churches together lacked $2,- 656.62 of reaching the 1933-1934 marks. In addition to the five which were behind as much as $100.00, there were 36 which lacked be- tween $10.00 and $100.00; 21 churches were within the range of $5.00 and $9.99; 58 of them lack- ed $1.00 to $4.99, and 14 of them were behind less than $1.00 of the immediate year’s aggre- gate. The churches in Concord Pres- bytery together lacked only $128.- 90 of reaching their 1933-1934 sums, which was the smallest to- tal amount from any Presbytery. There were only six churches in Albemarle Presbytery which failed to measure up to their giving of last year, and this was the small- est number of churches in any Presbytery.

JOHNSTON HAS CONCLUDED THIRTEENTH YEAR AS ‘EAD OF PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME Many Changes Have Taken Place Under Regime of Mr. Johnston.—Facts Given July ist marked an anniver- sary at the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. There was no to-do about it, no fireworks, and no celebration of any kind. It was just another day in the life of Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the Orphanage, who on that day began his four- teenth vear as head of the insti- tution, having rounded out 13 years the day before. He came to his office as isual, reviewed pend- ing applications, refused some and accepted others after a careful consideration of the merits of the cases, answered his mail, and went about his other manifold duties in connection with his office of superintendent. It is rather interesting to delve into the history of the Orphanage at the time that this tall and lanky (lanky back in 1922) man came to Barium. In the intervening 13 years there has been a transfor- mation in the institution, of property has been increased, numerous buildings constructed, a systematic health program __in- augurated, the Orphanage capacity has been enlarged and many other things have happened that vitally concert) the institution. In the almost 44 years that the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home has been located at Barium Springs a total of 1,775 children have passed through the portals of the institution, and it ig very striking that 1,009 of these boys and girls have becn here during Mr. John- ston’s tenure of office. This deesn’t mean that this many have come and gone in those 13 years, for there were 232 children at Barium on July 1, 1922, and there were 292 at the Orphanage on July 1, 1985. Those enrolled at the time value of his advent here and those now | included in that) at Barium are 1,009, However, this leaves only 766 children with which he had no contact while they were enrolled (Continued On Page Three) SUNDAY SCHOOLS SHOW SPURT IN JUNE IvNG Reports for First Quarter Disclose Increase Over Similar Period of 1934 The giving of the Sunday Schools of the Synod started off slowly in April, but receipts from this source for May and June have kept climb- | NEW SUNDAY SCHOOLS There was plenty in June to make Barium officials feel good because of other Sunday Schools which have either adopted a plan of regular giving, or made changes in their former pro- grams which will mean more to the Orphanage. Greenville Sunday School in Albemarle Presbytery increased it’s monthly appropriation from $1.00 to $1.00. Forest City and Saluda, both in Kings Moun- tain Presbyte have adopte the plan of an offering per month. Buffalyp (L) in Orange Presbytery’ detinitely nvtified authorities here that the Sun- day School is now giving a con- tribution per month instead of the eld method of a gift each fifth Sunday. St. Andrews, also in Orange Presbytery, has de- cided to give the fifth Sunday Ofierings and made their first response on June 30th. Baker’s Sunday School, down in Wil- mington Presbytery, has adopt- ed the offering per month plan, and has sent the first gift. None of the above fine pieces of news made Barium officia! med; the reaction was decidedly in the opposite. It is hoped that still others will make offi- cialis here glad during the month of July.

WALTER LINGLE He Suggested That Money Be Sent to Orphanages or Other Worthy Causes in Lieu of Spending It for Flowers for Funerals Some time ago death came into the home of a highly honored and wealthy Jewish family with whom I have some acquaintance. The morning paper which announced the death carried a request from the family that friends should not send flowers, but that instead, if they wished to express their friendship for the dead and their sympathy for the living, they should send contributions to a hospital or or- phanage in which the departed one was interested. The other day I picked up in a Presbyterian church a leaflet sent out by our Presbyterian Orphanage at Barium Springs, North Carolina, suggesting that instead of sending flowers to funerals, friends should send contributions anage in memory of the loved one, and that the or- 7 + a+r } tir . xarh _ 7 ge Would notify the family of the one who had gone on 1 this contribution had been made as a memorial flowers. coming from two such different urces, have much to commend them. Flowers are precious while they last, but ‘ fade and perish so quickly. Again and again the Bible uses flowers to illustrate the swiftness ¢ D with which all human perishes. As an illustré suggestions, sot take this passage first Epistle of Peter: “All flesh is as grass, and » glory of man as the f of rrass. The gras and the flower ther falleth away—but the Word of the Lord endureth forever.” When we wish to do somethi1 honor the memory of a friend, it may not be possible to do anything that is for the moment more precious than sending flowers, but it is certainly pos- sible to do something that is more abiding. In recent article in the “Reader’s Digs of dying it is estimated that n America alone j dollars are spent annually in flowers for funerals. That a large sum. Of course, there are times when love must 1 calculate. But the expenditure of that immense sum f - eral questions. We all feel that it is proper that there sh flowers at funerals, but at the same time we all loubt often there is too great a profusion of flowers. Sometimes there oO many hat to do with them. At that nobody knows wx ‘ y that those sent any one individual lose rY ( Often there are so many tI members of the l r know who sent this or that wreat} Some friend at the dr gather up the cards which come with the flowers and turn these er to the family, and that is all the family knows. When we see it stated that sixty million dellars are sp« nually in these flowers, which are today and tomorrow perish, n- stinctively wonder whether the greater part of this money might not be used in a way that would honor the dead even more than flowers and at the same time mean more to the living. Two incidents quoted above suggest a beautiful way. T! suggest that we should invest this money in living children instead of investing it in dying flowers. Think over that for a moment and ask yourself this question. If it were your:funeral and some friend wished to expend anywhere from fi to fifty dollars to honor your memory and to express his love and sympathy, would you rather that he invest it in flowers or in orphan children? I suppose tha would not be difficult for most of us to answer that question inst: taneously, especially after we had just attended a funeral where tt was an extravagant profusion of flowers. I suspect that we prefer that our family or some intimate friend should prov modest spray or wreath and that all others who wanted to pay respect or express their affection should send to an orp are hospital the contributions which they would have spent in !

Of all materi things that perish, perhaps flowers perish most quickly. Jesus wants us to do something that is worth while, something that will abide. He accordingly urges us to lay up treasures in Heaven. Just how can a mere mortal man proceed to lay up treasures in Heaven? I know of only one way and that is by making in t ments in something that going to Heaven.

The lat- ter was enlarged to give ample dining room space and also living for the girls who worked in the dining room. Around $200.600 Spent on Buildings In the past 15 years approxi- mately $200,000.00 has been spent n the construction of buildings, the remodeling of others and other physical improvements. The laut dry ang sewing room was built and completely furnished by C. W Johnston.

The orchards were supplying only a small portion of the necessary fruit in 1922, with a limited num- ber of trees of various kinds, but now the acreage of these has been increased ang the needs of the in- stitution are almost entirely pro- vided for from the local orchards. In 1922 there was one well at Ba- rium which was supplying about 30 gallons per minute, which was ample in those days, but there are now three wells at the institution with a combined capacity of some- thing over 90 gallons per minute. Baths twice a week were at one time a rite at the institution, but in many cases they occur daily now, especially through the ath- letic season, There was no systematic gram .to keep the children cupied when Mr. Johnston came to Barium. It was largely up to to the boys and girls to provide for their own amusement, but nowadays the children are busy al- pro- 00- most every minute of the day. When they are not working, or sleeping, or eating, or going to school, or studying, they are play- ing football, basketball, cevelop- jing as track performers, cavorting about in the swimming pool, play- ing baseball, or participating in some form of organized athletics. |Keeping them busy has _ helped |to solve many of the problems of discipline that abounded here years ago. Unusual Health Record In the 13 years of Mr. Jchn- ston’s tenure of office there have been nine deaths at the institution and eight of these occurred in the first four years of his administra- tion. Since 1926 there has been only one death at Barium and that was June, 1933. Four of these deaths were caused by tuberculosis; one was from concussion of the brain when a child fell from a wag- on and struck his head on the con- crete; one was from tetanous; one was caused by peritonitis following an appendix operation; one was from septacemia following a mas- toid operation and the one in 1933 was from osteomelytis which was followed by septacemia poisoning. The death rate for the 1009 child- ren under his care has been a frac- tion over one per cent in the past 15 years, and almost a negligible per cent in the past nine vears. This remarkable health record is due to the clinics which have been established at the Orphanage dur- ing Mr. Johnston’s administration. There an annual rigid physical examination of every child here; a dental clinic of two or three weeks duration; an eye, ear, nose and throat clinic, and a_ tubercular clinic. The treatment of diseases has developed into a weekly clinic, with the number of bed patients re- duced to a minimum. Today there are no active cases of tuberculosis at the Orphanage for the annual clinic is held for the purpose of detecting this. If a child is found to be an active tuber- cular patient, he or she is prompt- ly sent to the State Sanatorium. Certainly there would be no deaths from tuberculosis at the Orphan- age today.

AGAIN THIS THANKSGIVING Following Effective Results Last Fall, It is Hoped Every Child Will Have One So successful was the use of mite boxes in many of the Sunday Schools of the Synod of North Carolina ‘n the last Thanksgiving campaign that officials at the Orphanage have decided to use them again in the 19385 Offering. Approximately 12,000 mite boxes to 195 Srinday Schoois in 1934. Some in each church was notified that the boxes were available and would be sent out whem a notice was re- ceived at Barium as to how many would be needed. Replies to the postal card were received from 195 of them. During the summer months the treasurer of the Presbyterian is trying to as- Schools in the Synod so that an order cem be placed for the mite oxe earlier this year, with th< assurance that the boxes will be ready in plenty of time. In some instances last fall the mite boxe arrived at their destinaticins only a few days before Thanksgiving, and their worthwhileness was minimized because of this. Memy letters have already been written to Sunday Schoo! treasur- ers, asking for the return of an enclosed self-addressed postal card as to how many boxes will be required for members of their Sunday Schools from intermediate > on down. Some of those replies returned, and others back to the treasurer every day. By September a fairly gocd idea of the needs will be known and the erder can be plac- ed early that mcmth. It is believe. ag have ben are coming that perhaps 25,090 mite boxes will be used. Some older people like cto have these, too, and certainly there will be no ban upon every person hav- (Continued On Page Three) children and for the orphanage.

But many people seem to believe that any- thing done in the name of the | church, approved by officials of | the congregsticm, is sanctified, even to misappropiating the money collected in the name of the or- phems the church pretended to foster and protect. Along about the time the Lingle article came under notice an phimage treasurer was telling a friend about the hard time his in- or- stitution was having during the summer months whet it was so largely dependent on Sunday School collections, the Sunday School taking one coliecticm in a month which the orphzinage was supposed to get and frequently did not. Within three months six instances of dishonest treasurers had come to light. Whether they were church or Sunday School treasurers, or the combination, it not known but they were de- scribed as “dishcprest” and that is to mean they had used the money personally rather than for other church purposes, as had the teasurers of which Dr. Lingle was suggested that the presumed learned. It accounts seemed to be neither audited nor inspected and there was no check on treasurers. Most church people assume that nobody would rob a church treasury or misappropriate finds intended for orphans but the instances related, which no are but some of (Continued on Page Three) doubt just looking around.” The conversation started about |the fruit, and Mr. Thomas asked ‘the mem if he wanted to buy some. The man stated emphatically that he did not; in fact, he used a little profanity to make it emphatic, that he contributed a hundred dollars to Barium Spr’ngs, that those peaches belonged to him as much as to anybody, and that he was not beginning to buy them. Mr. Thomas (along with all the rest of Barium Springs) tries to treat visitors courteously. We know that 99% of the people who visit Barium, are Barium’s friends, and we like to play the part of a host, and share our food, or any- thing else that we happ«in to have, with these friends of ours. But, this particular visitor seemed to demand this sort of thing as a right. not as a courtesy. The ccin- versation with Mr. Thomas wax- ed more emphatic and _ profane, with his wife joining in to help emphasize, saying that she could not find any ripe fruit, ¢myhow. The man seemed highly in- censed over the fact that all of the ripe fruit had becn gathered, and left with the dark and ominous statement that we at Barium would notice a difference in our income because we did not seem cordial to the idea of his having free run of the orchards. Mr. Thomas’ query which we have put at the head of this article gives us all a thought: Who does own Barium Springs? Legally, it is the property of the Synod of North Carolina. The Synod _ is made up of lots of folk. Some of the people ‘nm the Synod may not feel any sense of proprietorship or interest. Naturally, it more closely belongs to those people who do support it and love it and pray for it. We wcmder how much of it belongs to an individual like the one just described. Williams, we believe, was the name he gave himself. And whether we should (Continued on Page Three) August 1935 BARIUM MESSENGER and we appreciate this very much BARIUM VESSENGER making us some pies and pickles Miss McGoogan has gone home PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME| to stay a few weeks.

Wheat averaged about 20 bushels per acre, oats 35 bushels per acre, barley 40 bushels per acre emd rye 15 bushels per acre. The barley and oat straw was baled and stored in the dry ior rainy days and bedding for our stock emd cattle. The wheat straw was stacked at the dairy barn for cattle litter. Most of the stubble land is sown in lespedeza. Those stubble fields that were not sowm in lespedeza were planted in Vir- ginia Brown soy beams. We have had two fairly cuttings of alfalfa this They were the first and cuttings. The second was short. We will have very lespedeza hay to cut this due to the fact that most of lespedeza was sown either seed crop, soil improvement pasture.

Concord amd} is somewhat in a class by itself Abemarle Presbyteries seem to be playing hide-and-seek with each other from month to month, with Kings Mountain and Winston- Salem Presbyteries in a tug of war. Albemarle Presbytery ied the table of receipts in June and Con- cord was fourth, but the standing is reversed at the close of July, for Concord is ranking on top amd Albemarle exchanged places with her by slipping to fourth. W‘nston- Salem and Kings Mountain were second amd third, respectively, last month, but they are tied for second position in the July tabu- lation. Oramge Presbytery maintained its fourth position, and the only other change in the stand'ng was'| the switching of places between | Wilmington and Meckienburg. Wil-| mington is sixth today, against, seventh last month; while Meck- | lemburg dropped back to seventh | after holding on to sixth positicn in June. Granville amd Fayetteville remained unaltered in their eighth | amd ninth ranking. There is a differemce of almost ten cents per member contributed between Concord, the leader, and Fayetteville Presbytery, the tail- ender. Concord’s leadership is pos- sible because that Presbytery has averaged 16.6 cents per person in the first four months of 1935- 1936, while Fayetteville’s average is only 6.9 cents per member, which is 3.1 eemts less than what was needed in a single month. The per capita averages of the four Presbyteries of Concord, Kings Movmtain, Winston-Salem and Albemarle vary only 1.8 cents per member, so it seems as if it is gong to be a nice race for a while between these four ranking Presbyteries. Orange Presbytery because of its average, but Wil- mington, Mecklenburg, Granville | and Fayetteville are in snother grouping. However, it seems that Granville and Fayetteville will have a fight among themselves as to which remains out of the cellar berth. Synod has averaged 10.9 cents per member to the Orphanage in the first four months of the year. That’s better them the 10.3 cents | per person in a_ corresponding | period a year ago, but it’s a “fur, | fur piece” from the 40 cents needed. You can understand why | grey hairs appear faster in the! 1eads of Orphanage officials when | it is seen that a little over one- fourth of the amovmt needed has been received. | The per capita giving of the | Presbyteries for the first four | months of the past two years, comparatively speak'ng, is as fol- lows: Presbytery Year Ago Today Concord 12.3¢ 16.6¢ Kings Mountain 12.8¢ 15 Winston-Salem 19 ¢ 15 ¢ Albemarle 18 ¢ 14.8¢ Orange 8.5¢ 11.3¢ Wilmingten 10.8¢ 9.8¢ Mecklenburg 8.3¢ 8.1¢ Granville 4 F.1e Fayettevill; 8.5c 6.9e Thus, the Presbyteries ahead of last year and the advantage they Inow have are Concord 4.3 cents: Orange 2.8 cents; Granville 2.6 cents, and Kings Movmtain 2.2 cents. Those behind a year ago in the same way are Wimston-Salem 4 cents; Albemarle 3.2 cents; Fay- etteville 1.6 cents; Wilmington cme coat, and Mecklenburg two-tenths a cent. ROBBING THE ORPHANS (Continued From Page One) orphans but the instances related, which no doubt are but some of many, prove that too much may be assumed for the church rela- tion. To the six imstances of dis- honest treasurers discovered in three months was added a default- | ing postal clerk who had got some of the money beimg sent to the orphanage when he was robbing | the mails. The clerk was arrested | and will do time in jail but that | doesm’t get the orphans the money | he took. But at that the state | punishes its crooks on occasion.

But they are inexcusable when they permit their own chosen officials to misappropriate, before their eyes so to speak, money contribut- ed tor church causes; and infamous hardly strong emough, strong as the word lis, to describe a group | of church people who permit orphans to be robbed, who are parties to the robbing when they | fail and refuse to do anything | about it.

We are never ashamed of the way our football team conducts itself om the field, and in addition to that, it’s a sight to see the rest of the Barium Springs family (which includes everything from _ babies to matrons), absolutely concen- trated cn cheering our teams to victory. And then during the lulls jn the games, people can’t help but notice the shrubbery and other points of beauty about Sloan Field. Among the visiting teams are our old friemids from Lexington, Winston-Salem, Hickory, Kan- napolis, Mooresville and visiting us for the first time, Belmont. Belmont will make up for lost time in visiting us twice; once to play Statesville and once to play Barium. The Childrein’s Home will play Statesville here.

So they decided as part of our Lord’s Acre project for them to pick berries and sell and give to the collection Sunday. So they sold nearly $4.00 worth of berries and others worked amd earned money in different ways. Then, too, the older (nes were more generous when they found the children working so hard. “Some of the small children only picked a quart; others picked several gallons. Two five-year-old girls each picked a quart. “T don’t know of anything they have gotten more pleasure from tham their collection Sunday. “With best wishes for the home, ete.” Union Mills Sunday School, also in Kings Mountain Presbytery, sent the Orphanage $9.87 in the first three mewnths of 1935-1936, but they met this July challenge by making an oftering of $49.00 - almost as much as they gave in the entire first quarter. 5.00 | Rutherfordton Aux. : 10.83 | Sugaw Creek Aux.

States- ville With Meals Being Served at Orphanage PREPARATIONS START | 1935 Conclave at Flora Macdonalg | Was a Decided Success We usually get a very complete amd comprehensive report on the meeting of Synod from Mr. Garth, | the most efficient publicity man for our Church’s doings. This year, The Messenger will go to press | before this article comes from ‘ Mr. Garth. So we are attempting from memory’ to give something. ‘of the highlights of Synod. | As a. general Jimpression;- we would say, that the if Symod ;was the most. peaceful and_har- monious one ‘ofthe last two. de- cades. There was nothing to start a fight about; mo scandals to un- earth; no axes to grind that were! evident to a casual observer. Synod rolled along in its smooth way, un- til its almost final session, before | it was necessary to have a stand- img vote to determine an issue. Up] to that time, there was not al| single dissenting voice on amy of | the matters brought before the} Synod. This does mot op mean that the Commissioners were not interest- ed. The attendance was larger] them usual. The sessions were at-| tended by a larger proportion of | the Commissioners, and very few | people went to sleep (in spite of | the rather excessive heat). Dr. Bedinger, Dr. Vardell and | Dr. Black made most excellent | hosts. The people of the town of Red Springs forgot all differences | of religion, of politics, and the price of cotton. They pitched in and gave the Symod such royal entertainment that an umusually large number was still presemt at lunch time Thursday. Encouraging reports were! brought in from all of the agem- cies and institutions of the Synod or its subdivisicms. Money seemed to be somewhat more plentiful and moving around more freely. | Differences of opinicm were not so glaring and if there were any people presemt at that Synod who were not on the pleasantest terms with all the other members, it would have taken a sleuth to have located them. Good fellowship| seemed to prevail and the friendly atmosphere of Red Springs seem- | ed to increase. The only question that brought lively debate amd a hard division of opinion was Dr. Lilly’s resolu- tion to start the machinery toward putting our ministers on a cne- year term basis. This matter is not decided, but will be very likely the subject for long and interest‘ng EVERYBODY 15 ASKED TO TAKE OFF HATS TA 155 SUNDAY SCHED Three cheers, fifteem rahs, or whatever exclamations are in your system are due the Vass Sunday School in Fayetteville Presbytery for its unusual per- formance of last month. When the regular Sunday for Ba- rium’s Offer’mg arrived, no meetings were being held of any sort jn that community, due to the infantile paralysis situa- tion, ajnd consequently the Vass Sunday School did not gather. But, especially interested par- ties made a personal canvass of the Sunday School membership for the Orvnhanage Offering, and as a result of these efforts the largest offering of the past Thajaksgiving and which will be followed this year, i. e., to per- sonally see every Presbyterian in the Synod and give him or her the opportunity of making a Thanksgiving contribution. The ]}| results observed commend this method to the consideration of every church. NO NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL ADOPTED PLAN IN AUGUST August Sunday School Total less Than July’s, But Was Better Than August. 1934 For the first time jn at least 20 months, The Messenger today fails to carry the name of any Sunday School in the Synoq which has adopted or re-jnstated the! plan of giving an offering-per- | month to the Orphanage. For the| past 18 months well over 90! Sumday Schools have inaugurated this program or re-adopted the| plan that had beem followed in| years gone by. There was one Sunday School which reported for the first time | in 16 months, but the superin-| tendent wrote that the treasurer | had fell down on the job last year. | It is assumed that the offerings | were taken regularly for Barium | all that time, but they failed to| reach the Orphanage. That Sunday | School is not being recorded as 4 new one.

Feet” of Trucks Keep Children Here GATHER AT SPRING Slept in Own Beds Amd Ate Meals in Own Dining Room We suppose that by this time everybody knows about our sum- mer camping trips. It is a brief outing for all *hose h ‘YS and girls who have not beer away from Ba- rium Sworings for their regular visit relatives or friends. There are usually . about 100 children left-overs, and in.*he most. delightful trips to Myrtle Beach, Lake Lure, Waccamaw, to Swannanoa, and last year, This year, for various reasons, could no+ make a long trip. In the first place. it: did mot look so well to be hauling a hundred | youngsters around over a_ state that was im the throes of a panic over infantile paralysis. It looked | like flaunting Providence. Amother reason was the fact that our trucks | are getting a little bit decrepit amd sometimes have ‘flat feet”. So this year, we went camping in our own back yard, dining room. Immediately atter breakfast the 4 Ae vh party went to the spring, and there were games of every descripticm, all] during the day; fames that you know about, such horseshoe pitching, checkers and sy on; and a lot that you mever heard about, which were the products of the fertile brain of Miss Carpenter, our case worker. as By the way, during the period of this camping trip, Miss Carpen- ter was just amother kind of a case worker. Instead of going out and investigating cases of fami where applicaticn had been made for entry into the Orphanage, she investigated cases of stumped toes, cut fingers, blisters, and misunder- standings and she was so good at it, that she almost lost her other job. We ate dinmer at the spring. As staple articies of diet, we had roasting ears, boiled potatoes and cantaloupes, and them as specials, roast-beef — s#ndwiches, mutton sandwiches, weiners, and on a couple of days we tapered off with marshmallows, and had plenty of peaches and watermelons to fill *m the otherwise more or less empty hours between meals. The swimming pool was busy. One afternoon the childrem went out to our old pleasure ground on the Catawba River, and we believe that the very fish in the river were glad to see us—they were wondering what kept larger had become of us! And when the week was over, we reported at the Infirmary with the usual number of mosquito bites, poisen ivey cases, and possibly over-eat- ing victims that we vsually have from our long trips. There was a noted differcmce in the amount of tan accumulated by the campers as against their quieter brothers | and sisters on the campus. The serving of the meals to the campers in the dining room was quite different from the regular routine.

What do we need to.do to be a success? What do we intend to do when we become grown men amd women?” He told of questions be- ing asked some youngsters as to why they went to school. Ome re- plied “to make more money” but the answer of another was “to make my life coumt for so much that the world will be a little better off when I am gone.” It was the latter aim which the | speaker commended to members |of the Barium Springs school. Taking up his main points, Mr. Carson told his audience that they must have some kind of train‘ng to be a success, that they must be equipped. He cited the training oftentimes obtained by many people in skillful professions who were unable to read and write, but he maintained that it was far more worthwhile to have the liter- ary training plus a knowledge of how to use one’s hamds in working. Paul, the first living before Christ and the seccind after Him, were held up as the two greatest men in history in the opinion of the speaker. Both of these men, he said, were mighty in words and deeds. You might not be like these two mem, but you can help the world with your wisdom and character, getting | he said.

In arranging this trip to Cotton- wood, Idaho, the scheduie that the bus offered suited a little better than that by traim, and these two youngsters—a boy of 12 and a boy of 15—were started off.

Calhoun (FORM OF BEQUEST.) “J give and bequeath to the REGENTS OF THE ORPHANS’ HOME OF THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA, Incorporated Under the laws of the State of North Caro- lina, (HERE NAME THE BEQUEST.) Lest We Forget To the Friends of Orphanages in North Carolina: The Thanksgiving season rapidly approaches, reminding friends of the orphanages of their urgent needs and the necessity of supplying them. Care of the large number of homeless children in North Carolina is of prime importance and people of our State never forget the orphanages at this time of the year. Annually, for years, there has been a special effort to aid them at Thanksgiving. The North Carolina orphanages are supporting approxi- mately 5,000 homeless children each year. This does not in- clude the number assisted through Mothers’ Aid. The sup- porting agencies of these orphanages have gone into this work on a voluntary basis and churches and fraternal orders have been impelled by an inner motive of kindness and service to take upon themselves, and into their hearts, the care of the needy, homeless children of the State. The Thanksgiving season has been made far more beautiful since the people, generally, have found joy in the opportunity this season presents to assist in the program of child care and training. Every orphanage in North Carolina needs money. Dur- ing the depression, and even before, a great many things were left undone at the orphanages. That condition still exists, but by liberal Thanksgiving donations by interested citizens, especially from those best able to give most, the orphanages will be enabled to pay their bills and face the winter with a greater sense of security. We, therefore, wish to impress upon your minds and hearts the needs of the orphanages of North Carolina at this season of the year. It is an oppor- tunity to render a service to homeless children and, at the same time, make an investment in worthy childhood that will pay dividends far beyond all human expectation. Not a single citizen in the State, either male or female, should fail to join in the movement to provide room for help- less orphans in the homes supported by loving generosity. We cannot escape condemnation here or hereafter if, seeing human need, we “pass by on the other side,” or, if facing manifest duty, we seek to shift responsibility to others. On Thanksgiving Day, the Master expects everyone to do his duty to the orphans, His children, our neighbors—our brethren. Every citizen of the State is admonished to for- ward the INCOME OF A DAY to the orphanage of his or her choice. It will be an investment in the mind and heart and soul of an orphan child, or children, with all their infinite capacities for good, or evil, in the world. Respectfully, M. L. SHIPMAN, Chairman, A. S. BARNEs, C. K. Proctor, Miss LiLy MITCHELL, R. C. Houcu, Publicity Committee. RALEIGH, N. C., November, 1935. | The Call Of the Orphanage From The Charlotte Observer of October 25, 1935. Presbyterians of the Synod of North Carolina need be aroused, as an influential group of them were aroused at a conference yesterday in the interest of the Barium Springs Home, to the pressing and imperative urge&cies of this institution for increased financial support. It is unnecessary to use the language of rhapsody to describe the far-flung and effective service of this orphan- age through the years. The language of simple fact is quite sufficient in its impressiveness, The Barium Springs Home, under the care of the Pres- byterians of North Carolina, is the orphanage of this de- nomination, and throughout its long ministry, it has proved (Continued On Page Four) THE BARIUM MESSENGER November 1935 : Little Joe’s, Boys’ B.

The visitors arrived by automobiles in time for the morning service at “Little Joe’s Church,” conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown.

Durham and Raleigh People Motor to Barium From The Durham Sun of Novem- ber 4, 1935. Many prominent Presbyterians of Durham and Raleigh, mem- bers of both men and women’s Bible classes in beth cities, got in- to automobiles at about seven o'clock yesterday morning and ynotored over 150 miles to attend service at “Little Joe’s Church” at Barium Springs, which is the home of 300 orphans under charge of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina. Who was “Little Joe” after whom this church was named? He was Joe Gilliard who was accept- ed into the Orphanage in 1901 when he was six years old. His one dominant idea, expressed quite frequently, was “When I get to be a big man, I’m going to build a church with a porch on | day’s illness, and after his death j it.” On Sunday morning, Febru- jary 1, 1904, he died after only one 45 cents were found im his pos- session labeled, “For a Church.” He was nine years old when he died. The hope of this little boy was heralded throughout the Synod, the response was prompt and generous and in 1907 the church was completed. The Barium Springs home, under the care of the Presby- terians of North Carolina, is the orphanage of this denomination, and throughout its long ministry, it has proved its right to claim their liberal support. The visitors from Durham and Raleigh had dinner with the chil- dren and their teachers, every- thing on the menu being home- grown and home-cooked. The all important food is milk of Holstein cows, of which 125 gallons per day are consumed. The children seemed very healthy, bright and cheerful. After inspecting vari- children graduate, some ‘are given | | home. Mr. Johnston said the nura- | ber admitted to the home had been even printing. The Barium Mes- | occupied.

By October 31, 1934, $168.00 had been received at the Orphanage as Thanksgiving respons@s, and $201.95 came to Barium last month as a starter on the 1935 Thanks- giving total. Compared with last year, the per capita giving shows that five of the Presbyteries are ahead. These are led by Orange with a 5.7 cents per member increase, with Concord close behind with 5.4 cents increase. Other increases include Mecklenburg, 1 cent; and Fayetteville and Kings Mountain, both two-tenths of a cent ahead. A rather unusual thing happen- ed in October. The standing of is identical ber. Generally there ure at least one or two changes, but the order remains unaltered at the close of October. The difference, though, between Concord and Al- ed down to less than a cent, for Concord has given 29.9 cents per member to date, while Albemarle is four-tenths of a cent behind her with 29.5 cents.

A challenging situation is being presented to the tens of thousands of this strong and great faith in North Caro- 80,000 members of the Presbyterian churches of this State. They have the money to do for the Barium Springs institution whatever needs to be done to bring it up to a more efficient and effectual and fuller ministry of care for orphans. Once the urge is possessed, the funds will be forthcom- ing in generous abundance. GRHAT THANKSGIVING OFFERING APPEARS LIKELY (Continued From Page Three) well-greased to hum some more. That press is ready to do more than hum; it’s ready next month to sing out the good news of a wonderful Thanksgiving Offering. It’s ready to tell ibout every church, every Sunday School, every Auxiliary and every Young People’s Society that makes a gift. The guns are beginning to pop already as pre-season Thanksgiving sums are coming to Barium. The total received so far constitutes a minor barrage that is growing in intensi- ty as the days go by. These sums are simply paving the way for what is expected to be an onslaught after November 28th, when the big guns and little guns all cut loose with a bom- bardment of contributions with the Orphanage as the target. Ordinarily to be a target is diastrous, but it will be glorious to be such a recipient of the 1935 Thanksgiving Offering. F Times are better. People are more optimistic. Purse strings are being loosened. Hearts are being touched. The need is very potent. The desire to give is growing in in- tensity. Thanksgiving, sincere and true, is more poignant in the minds and hearts of people. Everything, it seems, points to a banner Thanksgiving total. That banner is being slowly unfurled today. May the breeze of gifts be strong until it reaches gale-like velocity. And, when that banner is streaming out to its very tip, may 80,000 Presbyterians stand at salute, having the knowledge that they have made it possible for such a banner to be raised high once more, enabling the usefulness of the Orphanage to be broadened, and heightened, and deepened.

Sometimes there are as many as 50 from a church or community. So we are used to having good looking people visit Barium; but we be- lieve that the crowd that visited Barium on Saturday, November 30th, would take the prize for looks and on lots of other counts. The weatherman was unusually kind. It was about the first Home- Coming day in which there was no hint of bad weather, either the the day before, during the day, or the day following. The Home- Comers commenced to drop in two days before, and by the time the big dinner was served on the 30th, there were enough present to fill Rumple Hali dining room clear up to the windows; and did those | folks know what to do in that din- ing room! Take it from us, they did! There was a short program given in the Primary School Build- ing, for the entertainment of the old-timers, and this was followed by a pep meeting. After the dinner, the Alumni Association met and re-elected the officers of the preceding year. R. E. Jackins, of Barium, is President; and Hilda Bernardo, Charlotte, Secretary. And then, shortly after this meet- ing, everybody journeyed to the football field where a lot more Home-Comers had already gather- ed. There they saw the final game of the 1935 season played, and it wound up to suit everybody, ex- cept the visiting rooters for the Lumberton team. This year, for the first time, the Alumni attempted to make a contribution to the Orphanage as an Association. There was noth- ing like a complete list of names of all the alumni, but the response from those contacted was remark- able. Something like a third re- sponded and the total of gifts at this time is approximately $170.00.

PRESENTED Won Eight Tussles and Lost Only Two of Hard Schedule FITTING CLIMAX Orphanage Swamped Lumberton, 32 to 0, In Home-Coming Game This is a resume of the foot- ball doings at Barium. Early in September our little band of football warriors got to- gether and commenced to mark out the campaign for the fall. Very little time was spent grieving for the six dependable boys whe graduated at the last cemmence- ment. The team was lighter than usual. It was a little faster than usual, and endowed with an unusual amount of determination. The first game was with Mooresville at Mooresville, and Mooresville was beaten 38-6. A great victory. did you say? No, nothing about which to be very proud. The Mooresville school had just been going a week; they had a new coach; and the boys har ily knew each other, much less __ their formations, when Barium played | them. | A week later at Barium, the situation was quite different. Lex- ington was the opposition. They were 1934 South Piedmont champ- ions and a team that had not been | defeated since its last visit to | Sloan Field two years ago.

Incidentally, this Children’s Home is the classiest high school football team in North Carolina. They are the Orphanage Champ- ions; they would have been South Piedmont Champions if they had gotten enough games in the con- ference, and they wound up the season undefeated and _ urtied. They defeated Greensboro 33-0 in the latter part of the season when their team had been very much weakened by injuries and boys leaving school. October 11th was on open date for the Barium team. The boys took a rest, and the following week, Concord was met at Con- cord, where Barium was defeated 20-0. The game was really closer than the score indicated, as Ba- rium practically handed Concord one of their touchdowns in a des- perate attempt to score. Concord went shrough the season unde- feated in the conference and are now the South Piedmont champ- ions. Their victory over Barium was the first in nine years. We can not begrudge this grid team its victory. It was the team that played the first game on Sloan Field. They were the first team to score on it six years later, and they are good sports— win or lose. On October 25th, at Barium, another All-Orphanage game was played. It was Mills Home _ this time, an up and coming Baptist team from Thomasville. The two teams battled it up and down the field with Barium showing a | slight. superiority, but not enough girls | to cash in a touchdown, until a | rather freakish play took place. | Thé Mills Home fumbled, and | while the ball was still in the air, | it Was grabbed by Charlie Gallyon, an end on the Barium team, who (C_ntinued On Page Two) Pace Two BARIUM MESSENGER MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ 11OMF]| PUBLISHED j}no one wag sick and every one | was able to eat the good dinner that had been provided for them.

In looking over the “Barium Springs Messenger”, that comes out from and represents the work of the Orphanage of the Synod of North Carolina, located at Ba- rium Springs, we found an exceed- ingly interesting bit of informa- tion. For the first five months of the present Church Year, April i to August 31, the Sunday Schools of that Synod gave $1845.16 more than the Churches. This means that many Schools make regular monthly offerings to the Orphan- age. Some of ours do, but by far the larger number do not.

The following week, at Kan- napolis, Barium had a very lively afternoon, trying to avenge the defeat handed Barium by Kanne- polis, on that same field two years before. The final was: Ba- rium 13, Kannapolis and they score were two tired teams when they left the field.

Ralph and David Spencer, who came to Ba- rium when they were 6 and 8 years old, have developed into two of the most consistent players that Barium has, and they led the Barium team to victory cver the old home town. One of the prettiest plays in this game was Jessup, Barium’s center, inter- cepting a pass and running 50 yards for a touchdown. On November 22nd, Barium took on Belmont. Belmont was admittedly the weaker team. In the first quarter the varsity scored two touchdowns against Belmont. Then all the seniors were taken out and their places taken ys who will no doubt be mem- bers of the 1936 team. They evi- dently got together in a huddle and decided to show up the seniors, because they made three touch- visit) number of people from Charlotte| downs in their quarter. The final score was: Barium 68, Belmont 0. And, during the game wh'le Barium was amassing they only made. n first downs. The final game of the vear was with Lumberton. It was a team unknown in this neck of the woods, but a fine looking team, nevertheless. They had an en- viable record, having beaten one Junior College, tied another, and been mighty close to being their section’s champions and runner-up for the eastern championship. The team was big, they knew football, and they were fast, but they were up against Barium on Home-Com- ing Day, and the combination wa too much for them. Roy Wilso and Ralph Spencer were in Lum- berton’s backfield almost as soon as the ball got there, just spoiling their very best plays; and Barium’s offense was just one step toe fast for Lumberton, with the final score being: Barium 32, Lumbker- ton 0. Along with these varsity games, there were some most interesting midget games. Barium’s 125-pcund team went through the season un- defeated, and one of their victor- ‘eg was over the Oxford Orphan- age varsity. It so happened that Oxford Orphanage had such a light squad this year, they de- cided to only play the weaker Or- phanage teams, or the second team of the stronger groups. They tied the Lexington Orphanage varsity, but were defeated by Ba- rium’s 125-pounders. In addition to this, the 125- pound team beat Kannapolis twice, Concord twice, Statesville twice, and Mooresville twice, but in that second Mooresville game there was trouble. Mooresville scored by falling on a fumbled punt in the end zone, and there was only about a minute to go, when Ba- rium finally started doing some- (Continued On Page Three) December 1935 THE BARIUM MESSENGER 5 nen FOOTBALL SEASON Cont'nued From Page Two) thing. They carried the ball from the 40-yard and made the extra point to give them the final victory 7-6 line, And the last play was made just as the final wh.stle blew. The 100-pound team was victor- ious in all of their non-Orphanage They game lost two games to Oxford, and two ft Children’s Home; and split a pair with the National Orphanage of Lexington. But don’t let anybody get you to thinkine that this 100-pound bunch does not know its football. The 100-nound team representing the Children’s Home and Oxford would heat lot of ve , hich chool teams. You may wonder why. Well, come around some time in Greensboro and see them weigh in along out the fifteenth of Sentember. And now, the football season is over and nothing is left but to take pictures, to have a banquet, to select All-Conference players, etc. December 153th. there will be a big banquet at Barium, to which not only will members of the Ba- rium team be invited, but the All- Conference selections from the South Piedmont teams, together with their coaches.
