TREN JM. WALKER, 0D 5 THE NEW MOUERATOR ne EK. E. Gillespie, Retiring Moderator, Delivered Ser- mon. Other Happenings The Rev. J. M. Walker, D. D., of Charlotte, pastor of Steel Creek Presbyterian Church the largest rura! church in the denomination— was elected mrderator of the Synod of North Carolina last night by acclamation. The Rev. W. J. Roach, of Lowell, was re-elected assist- ant clerk. The opening sermen was deiiver- ed last night by Rev. E. E. Gillespie. D. D., of Greensboro, retiring mod retor, Dr. Gillespie is also super- intendent cf home missions for the synod, an office supply inspiration for future development. History is a foundation of large interest in achieving objects in State and Church, and the dreams and projects of the fathers have great weight in stimulating the labors of the present. The mere we review and memorialize, the great- er the force of that sentiment which keeps the heart fresh and the mind active with plans for the future. The Synod of North Carolina has had a growth in the past 75 years which might well speak to| us of the evident favor of God and of the devotion of those who have offered themselves for service in | His kingdom. Its membership has held twice, from 1899 to 1905 and since 1924 until now. The subject « f ‘the sermon was “The Mystery of Ged’s Providence,” taken from St. | John 13, “That I do thou kni west not now but thou shall know here- after.” Dr. Gillespie said the myste of God’s providence affects nations, communities, and individuals. He showed that the fact of this mys- tery was shown in the sudden death of loved ones, the rem¢ val of important workers by and many of our experiences in Lie “There is a necessary for the mystery,” said the minister. “God is infinite and we are finite in knowledge and cannot fathom God’s which he has} death, grown to such an extent as should! dealing.

MARKED DEVELOPMENT (Continued From Page One) those of all other Confederate States in an eagerness to win the strife for the South. North Caro- lina soldiers went everywhere to to fight for the Confederacy; and, if it had not been for their large numbers in the Army of Northern Virginia, the calamity of surren- der would certainly have come much earlier than it did. The 125,- 600 North Carolinians in the Con- federate Army included many men and boys of the Presbyterian church who were destined never tc come back home. There is much connected with the beginning of the Southern Pres- Syteian church that affords special pride to the Synod of North Carolina. The Synod be- came fixed in its purpose to with- draw from the Northern Assembly, and looked forward to a similar course on the part of the whole Southern church. The first Gen- eral Assembly of the Confeder- ate States, as we know, met in Augusta, Ga., on December 4, 1861. On November Ist., pre- vious, the Synod, meeting in Raleigh, had passed resolutions heartily approving the course of the Confederacy and of the State of North Carolina, and urging its members to offer prayers in be- half of the Confederate States; and also endorsing the appoint- ment by its Presbyteries of rep- resentatives to the proposed new General Assembly. The Synod was no sluggard in its decided stand for liberty to form its own connec- tions. In this its members were true to the record of the colony of North Carolina on several momen- tous occasions. The Synod of North Carolina under the Confederate General Assembly was, therefore, soon established in its new relationship and responsibilities. Its second meeting was held in Greensboro on October 29, 1862. It was com- posed of earnest men, among whom the following names appear: Reverends Drury Lacy, James C. Alexander, D. A. Penick, Sr., Jethro Rumple, S. C. Alexander, J. Henry Smith, H. B. Pratt, E. W. Caruthers, and others. Weary Weeks and Months The weary weeks and months which followed tried the hearts of the ministers and officers of the church. Their affections were with the Confederate Army. And every congregation was bereft of its finest young men. Practically every candidate for the ministry and every theological student was doubtless with the fighting forces of the South. Many ministers gave up their charges and became chaplains in the army. Dr. D. L. Craig, the late efficient historian of the Synod, quotes a list of nine Presbyterian ministers of the State who were serving as chap- lains in 1863. These were Reverends Drury Lacy, E. H. Harding, H. B. Pratt, R. B. Anderson, J. W. F. Freeman, Colin Shaw, David Fair- ley, J. H. Colton and J. M. Sprunt. As the war progressed there were several more ministers’ enlisted; and special mention. might be made of men like the Reverend | October, 1865, it | trust in the wisdom and justice Luther McKinnon, who bravely stood with the garrison at Fort Fisher in the terrific bombard- ment by the Federal fleet. When the Synod met in Fayette- ville at the close of the war, in expressed its of God in the conclusion of the great struggle; and appointed a day of fasting and prayer to seek | new life for its beloved church. We of our day of largeness of achievement and comparative pros- perity cannot conceive of the de- pression which must have all but extinguished the spirit of the men of the church of that day in facing the task of rebuilding the walls of Zion, but for their conquering faith in the unchanging decrees of God. There is something in the Presbyterian view of the sov- ereignty of God and of the eventual success of His church that has always infused new life into be- lievers who labor under the great Head of the Church. Then came the “reconstruction” period after the war, when the minds of the Southern men were forcefully directed toward the great task of recovering them- selves and their property, and of courageously facing distasteful political conditions. The cause of religion therefore suffered for want of that whole-hearted zeal which is essential for its strength. But out of the ashes of those bitter days there gradually developed a spirit of revival to bring back the work of grace as of old. News of the great evangelistic meetings of D. L. Moody and P. P. Bliss and then Ira D. Sankey, in the northern States and Great Britain stirred the hearts of the people with a new interest, which was soon reflected in the growth cf the churches of North Carolina. The Presbyterian churches grew and recovered their lost member- ship. Because of the new evangelistic spirit among the churches, it was felt that some of the large Pres- byterians should give up territory, that the work might be committed to new Presbyteries established on needy ground. For this reason, the Presbytery of Wilmington was set off from Fayetteville Presby- tery in 1868; and the Presbytery of Mecklenburg was formed from Concord Presbytery in 1869. The Synod became greatly interested in these two new constituent bodies which it had established, and the work grew in a marked degree. The southeastern section about Wilmington was greatly in need of evangelistic work, and its home missionary efforts have ever since been a large part of its Presbyter- ial interest. The great and leading development of the Presbytery of Mecklenburg has proven the wis- dom of the Synod in setting it up. It has now become the largest Presbytery in the Southern As- sembly, numbering 17,350 mem- bers, with gifts and prestige in proportion. Rural Contributions. North Carolina was in those days, and up to the turn of the century, distinctly a rural state. large There were few towns. THE BARIUM Wilmington in 1890 was the lar- gest, with 20,000 inhabitants. Char- lotte and Winston-Salem had each about 18,000; Greensboro just 10,- 900; Asheville 12,000, and the whele of Durham county only a- bout 11,000 people. These figures were only slightly enlarged in the census of 1900. The Presbyterians therefore derived their strength mostly from the churches in the country districts and smal! towns There were fine historical asso- ciations with many of these churches, and also family and community interests which made them beloved of their membership. It is hard for us nowadays to ap- preciate the affectionate interest of the people who had a tradition- a] membership in such old churches as Black River, Grove, Rockfish, Buffalo, Hawfields, Poplar Tent, Bluff, Thyatira, Rocky River, Providence. Union, Sugaw Creek, Nutbush, Red House and others. To these still cling the memories of certain old pastors. The thought of Hugh McAden, for instance, is yet an inspiraticn to many churches. He came to North Caro- lina from the north in 1754, and breathed a blessing and perform- ed constructive work in man” «cmmunities, first in the east and| then in the Piedmont regions. He} died on January 20, 1781. And there had been Humphrey Hunter, the Irish Presbyterian, who labored first at Poplar Tent, where also preached the Rev. Hezekiah Balach, one of the writ- ers of the Mecklenbure Declara- tion of Independence. There was also David Caldwell, D. D., the remarkably versatile preacher of the Gospel at Hawfields and} cther churches. Jgmes Campbell was the early minister to the High- landers of Cumberland county; and John McLeod worked amcng them and other Scottish settlers in the upper Cape Fear region. There clustered about these and other names of the early Presbyterian ministers many treasured mem- ories and records. Later there had appeared such men as Robert Tate and Benjamin Holt Rice, missionaries frem Orange Presbytery, who rode horseback to new fields of labor | pear the eastern shores of the state. And there was Robert Hall Morrison, distinguished first pastor of the First Church, Charlotte, and other congregations, who was principally instrumental in the establishment of Davidson College, which opened its doors on March 1, 1837. Dr. Morrison was its first President. All these old ministers tilled beloved places in family and congregational memories. Each of the old country churches had its own peculiar historic asso- ciation. It may have been a con- rection with a clan in Scotland that filled the hearts of the mem- bers with a zeal born of persecu- tion back in its old home. It may have been memories of the Amer- ican Revolution. Or it may have been sacred memories of some season of divine grace in which many were called into the Kingdom. And it was often the case that some particular sermon left an enduring impression upon the people; for in these early days sermons were powerful and the congregations listened with an at- tention which itself was almost divine. All these things made many an old country church dear to its membership. Type of Preaching It may be well here to refer to the type of preaching that gave strength to the religious con- victions of the early Presbyter- ians of the State. They were large- ly doctrinal, in which the scver- eign grace and electing authority of God were impressed upon the hearers, and the people felt that they had been predestined to have a saving faith in the Redeemer and to live a life of joyous sacri- fice for Him. Doctrinal preaching was, therefore, frequent; and the pity is that the Ppesbyterian church today does not seem able to declare its strong tenets of faith in the midst of a shallow out- cry against doctrine. If Calvanism has been good for people up to this time, why has it been out- moded now? Even if it should tax the resources of ministers to ad- just it to modern thought, it should be done earnestly, with no apology; for the teachings of Christ and of the apostle Paul still stand, and God and his sov- ereign will are still supreme. Paul preached and wrote on _ both doctrinal and practical Christian- ity, and the one did not exclude the other. The foundations still stand. Let us make the superstructure according to them. With further reference to the clder churches of the State - there ‘with the aroma of the past. ,of his people. MESSENGER were, of course, some strong city | burches. The Firs+ Church, Wil-| mington,-was established in 1817;| the First Church, 1821: the. First Charch Greens-| boro, in 1824. And, antedating all | these, the First Church, New Bern, was founded about 1808. Besides | many beloved early pastors of| these churches, there stand out} prominently certain names of | list’netion. Dr. Joseph R. Wilson, | ‘ong time Stated Clerk cf the General Assembly, was pastor of the Wilmington Church from 1874 to 1885. He was followed by Pey- ton H. Hoge, and he by John M. Wells, of a long and outstanding past: rate. The First Church, Char- | iotte, had A. W. Miller, John A.| Presten, J. R. Howerton and D. H.! Rolston; these besides Robert Hall Morrison, to whom we have al- ready referred. There have been in the First Church, Greensboro, William D. Paisley, John F. Gret- ‘er, Jacob Henry Smith, Egbert W. Smith, Melton C. Clark. The ‘ret Sm‘th was pastor from 1£59 to 1897. The New Bern church re cords the pastorates of John Witherspoon, Drury Lacy, Danie! ‘tratten, Lachland C. Vass, Charles G. Vardell, and the be- loved Dr. J. N. H. Summerell. I make no menticn of the recent development of these and other prominent city churches ncr of the distineu’shed ministers who now serve them; for I am looking rath- | ~~ into the past. Suffice it to say that there are many strong) churches that have grown up in the numerous larger towns and ities that have developed in modern North Carolina; but history gets its finest interest when it comes Other Great Ministers Digressing again, with respect to the ministers of the Synod in former days, there were scme here end there that are of special in- terest. Rev. Drury Lacy, who lived 82 years, was a noted preacher of his day. He was also an educator of note, and once served as Presi- dent of Davidson College. Rev. James M. Sprunt, of Duplin county, served as Register of Deeds of his county for many years, and was # general advisor in all the affai-: He was made a Doctor of Divinity because ot h: superiority as a preacher and ‘he Jogian Dr. Jethro Rumple, of western North Carclina, was a man of force, an able counsellor in the affairs of Synod, and an ef- ficient supporter of the Orphan- age at Barium Springs. Dr. W E. McIlwaine served as Synodical evangelist, and was one of the prime movers in the establishment of the Orphanage in 1891. Dr. R. P. Smith has been known as the «pestle in the mountain country, and the new Synod of Appalachia abounds in the fruitage cf his teng-time labors. If I should name three other recent members of Synod, not as noteworthy pastors, but as leaders in the general affairs of the church, I should mention Dr. Walter W. Moore, Dr. Egbert W. Smith and Dr. Walter L. Lingle—the first ‘he finished and scholarly Presi- dent of Union Theological Semin- ary and preacher of the word; the econd (now of the Synod of Tennessee) an excellent writer and earnest promcter of the great cause of Foreign Missions; and the third as President of two of our institutions of learning, highly successful: teacher, and a writer and lecturer on subjects of helpful interest to the Christian life. However, the list of outstanding men of special fields does not close with these three, for there are others who have reflected credit upon their connection with the Syned. In coming years, for in- stance, there will be special men- ticn of Dr. Ben R. Lacy, the suc- cessor of Dr. Moore in the presi- dency of the Union Theological Seminary. First Quarter Century Let us now look more definite- lv at the progress of the church. In 1886, the Synod closed the first | quarter-century of its existence as, a part of the Southern Presbyter- ian Church. Its membership wes then 20,791 and its ministers num- bered 116. The gifts from the churches amounted to $142,298. The growth, therefore, since 1861 had not been very large. There were at the earlier date 98 minis- ters, and we have mentioned the membership of 15,711. There are ne complete financial statistics for the year of beginning. During the next decade after 1886, how- ever, the Synod was to begin a period of evangelistic interest which was destined soon to carry it far along toward its present- day development. There had been harlotte, inf “agents” to Page Two keep the cause of evangelism be- fore the churches of the Synod, and funds were raised to support evangelists and pastors in new Home Mission fields; but, with the‘appointment in 1889 of Dr. W. Morton as Synodical Evange- list, and his prompt success in holding special meetings in many parts of the Synod, a lively in- terest in the cause of evangelism developed. The list of those who have served as superintendent and evangelist before and since that date is an honorable one. There were C. M. Payne, J. C. Alexander, . W. Primrose, Alexander Sprunt, E. W. Smith, W. E. McIlwaine, J. M. Rose, A. J. McKelway, F. H. Jchnstcn, M. MeG. Shields, O. G. Jones, A. W. Crawford, G. W. | Belk, A. T. Lassiter, Leonard Gill, C. Connor Brown and others, in- cluding the Rev. William Black. The general growth of the church is in large measure due to their special efforts. The Home Mission impulse urged it forward and strengthened the entire life of the church. In 1889, Albemarle Presbytery came into being as a distinctly Home Mission field, in which its superintenderjf.s, evangelists and pastors, particularly in later years the Rev. A. J. Crane, were to en- gage in earnest and successful labors. Great Home Missionaries Of all those serving in the Home Mission work of the Synod, there are two who stand in a class by themselves; i. e., Rev. William Black, D. D., and Rev. E. E. Gilles- pie, D. D. Dr. Black labored as an evangelist and preacher more than any other man of the Presbyterian Church in the State. He begun his work in the Synod in 1894, and continued dutifully until his death on November 23, 1927, in the midst of his labors. His untiring efforts were an_ inspiration to every church in which he preached, end his memory lingers in the hearts of multitudes. Eternity alone can appraise the value of his life and labors for the King- dom of God. Dr. Gillespie began his work when the First Church, Greensboro, in 1897 sent him as a missionary to Ashe county. He became evangelist for the Synod im 1899, and labored faithfully and well for several years, when he 1esigned to accept a pastorate in South Carolina. He returned to the Synod in 1925, and his work since then has covered all parts of the Synod. With labors a- bundant in his office and on the field, he has been faithful in his efforts to keep the cause of Home Missions before the churches, un- daunted by the past seven years of depression. There has always been an ef- ficient Home Mission committee back of that department of the Synod’s work; and each Presbytery had had the services of a devoted committee to further its pioneer and evangelistic efforts. It would necessitate too much time to en- umerate the leaders in this com- mittee-responsibility, and the con- tribution of means to carry it out. But special mention should be made of Dr. H. G. Hill, the ener- getic chairman of Synod’s com- mittee from 1889 to 1907. He con- tributed his intense energy con- stantly to the cause. It was in 1896 that the Presby- tery oi Asheville was set off frum Mecklenburg Presbytery, largely through the influence of the able pastor of the First Church, Asheville, Dr. R. F. Campbell. The Presbyiery aimed to conserve the results of the labors of the con- secrated Dr. R. P. Smith, for many years superintendent of the moun- tain work. The Presbytery of King’s Moun- tain was established in 1902 out of Asheville Presbytery, and it has locked well to its field of cppor- tunity. In connection with the founding of this Presbytery, there is a matter of rather curious in- terest referred to in a biographical sketch of Rev. Robert Z. Johnston, of Lincoln county. It is that, while he was pastor of the Lincolnton church, he and his church were members of three Presbyteries; first, Mecklenburg, then Asheville, then Kings Mountain. And, before that, his county was located in Concord Presbytery! Certain churches have been out- standing examples of Home Mis- sion efforts. The First Church, Asheville, (mow of Applachia Synod), may be cited; and the Firs+ Church, Wilmington. The large Charlotte churches have been noteworthy colonizers and build- ers of new churches. Others also have given largely of _ their strength to establish mission preaching points and Sabbath Schools which have developed into (Continued On Page Three) ma s os as d d y c t s s oe ae Oo Oe MO ot eR Oe SS Page Three THE BARIUM MESSENGER September 2, 1986 MARKED DEVELOPMENT (Continued From Page Two) organized congregations. And the Presbyteries have at times been specially active in advancing their missionary work. Semi-Centennial The Synod of 1911 was that which marked the semi-centennial year of its connection with the Southern Assembly. Statistics for thay year showed 208 ministers, 15,978 members, and total gifts ot $555,245. Compared with the year 1936, these figures are not very large, but they displayed a great advarj'ement fyr the 25 years preceding and presented pos- sibilities of much larger things which were to be realized. And tack of all the accomplishments of that day were those fine historic traditions which kept ever before the minds of the Presbyter- ian constituency of the State the memory of their Seotch and Scotch-Irish forebears, who had made a definite and wholesome impression upon certain parts of the cclony of North Carolina Their heroic adherence to faith will never lose its influence; and we of the present day should hold high the torch of truth trans- mitted to us. For surely the tenets of the fathers, which were fixed upon the very Word of God must bring forth fruit among the chil- dren who value their heritage. God’s word will not return unto Him void. This conviction should give us heart in these latter days, while we have not been making the progress which we might shave made. The Synod, after its semi-cen- tennial, grew steadily. In 1915 there were reported 253 ministers, 506 churches, and 53,183 members. In 1920 there were 257 ministers, but 497 churches, and _ 60,160 members; and the contributions of the churches were growing in good proporticn. In 1925 the number of ministers was 292, of churches 530, with 73,213 members; and the total contributions were $2,- 402,448. Years of large gifts were to continue; but then the falling off came on account of the finan- cial depressicn. Yet the member- ship continued to grow. The Synod of Appalachia came into being in 1915. To it the Synod of North Carolina yielded the Pres- bytery of Asheville and other mountain sections. But for the new Synod, the Synod of North Caro- lina would have today five or six thousand more members; but it has maintained a real interest in its younger sister. The memory of the Werld War of 1914-18 is still fresh with us. Many young Presbyterian minis- ters served in it as chaplains and as Y. M. C. A. Secretaries, and some of our younger minis- ters of the present fought in the ranks of the American Army. I think there should be preserved in the archives of Synod a list of these veterans. If there is such a list at present, I am not informed about it. It was in 1923 that the new Pres- bytery of Granville and Winston- Salem were set up, and the boun- daries of other Presbyteries re- arranged. In all the organization of the work of the Synod, the generosity and affectionate in- terest of the older Presbyteries of Orange, Concord and Fayetteville have been especially noteworthy; and other Presbyteries have been willing to make sacrifices for the good and growth of the church. Heavenly Reward In the meantime servants of the Kingdom were raised from their earthly labors to their heaven- ly reward. One by one they went away, and the Synod mourned their loss. They had been the means of the salvation of many souls, and the hearts of those saved have always clung with af- fection to the faithful pastors and preachers who had been divine in- struments for bringing them into the Kingdom. A glance over the list of the ministers of the Synod who have passed away during the last 20 years or more would stir the mem ory with solemn thoughts, as the lives and influence of friends and pastors are recalled. It would not be possible to recite the entire list of those who have died; but here and there are names which awaken special memories. There were J. E. Ballou. the beloved voung pastor at Tarboro, who died in 1915; Luther McKinnon, who had been President of old Floral College and Davidson College and 4 scholar of note (1916); J. M. Ruse, beloved pastor at Laurinburg and former Superintendent of Home Missions of the Synod (1917); W. D. Morton, the stimulator of a large Home Mission interest in the Syned (1918); A. D. McClure, saintly pastor Church, Wilmington, for 20 years (1920): D. H. Rolston, eloquent pastor of the First Church, Charlotte (1917); H. G. Hili, of four-score years of especially active intellect and spiritual force (1924); <A. W. Crawford, the earnest Superin- tendent of Home Missions, who died in service (1924); D. I. Craig, 43 years pastor at Reidsville, 30 years Stated Clerk of Orange Presbytery, and 25 years Stated Clerk of the Synod (1925); R. W. Boyd, first superintendent of Ba- rium Springs Orphanage, for 17 years, (1925); William Black, who of St. Andrews \ed six or seven thousand into the church (1927); Archibald A. Mc- Geachy, prominent and able pastor of the Second Church, Char- lotte, for 20 years (1928); H. B. Searight, pastor at Washington, N. C., for 21 years (1929); J. M. Clark, for many years superin- tendent of Home Missions of Con- cord Presbytery (1930); R. A. McLeod, Stated Clerk of the Synod and first President of the Pres- byterian Junior College for Men (1932); W. McC. White, 26 years pastcr at Raleigh and noted ad- vocate of church extension (1934); J. Lynn Walker, beloved pastor at Hamlet and gentle and efficient Presbyter (1935). We would not, however, make any distinction in the servants of God; for we real- ize that many another faithful pastor, who did his work well, may be in inconspicuous places, has a high place in the white rec- ord above and a shrine of love in the memory of many: Foreign Missions The interest of the Synod in Foreign Missions has always been particularly noticeable. The con- tributions from its churches for this cause amounted to $165,949 in 1920, $261,287 in 1925, $239,- @83 in 1930; but the present year shows a decline to $152,099, with the last few years also showing smaller amcunts. There has been a forceful Home Mission interest which has kept the church con- stantly enlarging its borders; and there has been an equal] sense of responsibility in carrying the Gospel to foreign iands. There have been’ conspicucus centers of Foreign Missicn interesi, as. for instance, the First Church, Wilmington, which has been known as supplying the largest Foreign Mission support of all the churches of the Southern Assembly. Its maintenance of the large mission station at Kiangyin, China, with its educational, hospital and evan- gelistic work, has been a great schievement. T.e chureh - still stands in a prime position of mis- sionary support, but figures are not now available to make a com- parison with other churches. Wil- mington Presbytery published a year or two ago a list of 22 foreign missionaries who have in recent years gone out from its bounds. Many churches in the Synod contribute largely to foreign mis- sionary work, and_ practically every large city church has its own respresentatives on foreign fields and special work for which it has assumed financial responsi- bility. And there is probably not a Presbytery in the Synod which has not its roll of missionary servants. The Foreign Mission fields of the Southern Church now have 24 men and about 45 women frcem the bounds of the Synod of North Carolina. In Atrica there are Dr. Thos. T. Stixrud and Alan M. Craig, Charlotte; William C. Worth, ot Wilmington, with wives of the mis- sionaries, and Miss Ida McL. Biack, Wilmington; Mrs. Alma H. Jackson, High Point, and Mrs. Louise D. Crane, Hickory. In Erazil there are Lawrence G. Cal- houn, Laurinburg; A. S. Maxwell, Warsaw; D. Lee Williamson, Belmont, and Frank F. Baker, China Grove, with wives, and Miss Margaret Wilson, whe went out from Wilmington. In China there are the Worths of Wilmington - Dr. Geo. C. Worth and his son, Rev. Charles W., and wife, and is daughter Ruth; and Stacy C. Farrior, Rose Hill; Dr. Archibald A. McFadyen, Raeford; W. C. Mc- Laughlin, Wadesboro, Edward S. Currie, Kaleigh, George P. Stevens, Monroe, and wives, and Laura G. Smithwick, M. 0D. Henderson, Miss Ruby H. Satterfield, Mebane, Miss Jessie D. Hall, Wilmington; Miss Mary Lee Sloan, Greensboro; Mrs. Claude Grier Blain, Harris- burg, and Miss Julia Bradley of China. Also connected with the Synod are Revs. Thos. L. Harns- berger and Edgar A. Woods. There are in Japan John W. Moore, Taylorsville; John H. Brady, Statesville: James A. McAlpine, Winston-Salem, and wives, Miss Amy Robinson, Kings Mountain, are many missionaries in Korea from the Synod: LeRoy T. New- land, Chadbourn, and Dr. William Hollister, New Bern, and wives; Miss Susanne A. Colton, Morgan- ton; Miss Lavallette Dupuy, David- son; Miss Flora Boyce, Raeford; Mrs. Shannon P. Cumming and Mrs. Annie Wiley Preston, Salis- bury; Mrs. Mary Ross_ Rogers, Charlotte, and Mrs. Bessie K. Wil- son, Davidson. In Mexico there are Dr. L. J. Coppedge, Rockingham and Prof. R. G. Morrow, Mebane, and wives; Miss Pattye F. South- Mt. Gilead and the McAlpines of Winston-Salem. And many others have passed away, including, of late years, John W. Davis, D. D., LL. Ds HB. M. Parker, D. D., L; Lardner Moore M. D., and R. T. Coit. Every missionary has his cwn home base of thought, sacri- fice and prayer; and the mission- aries have kept the churches of the Synod in vital touch with the work abroad. As To Education The Synod of North Carolina has always tried to maintain the Presbyterian tradition as to educa- tien. It has locked well to the sup- port of higher institutions of learn- ing, and has encouraged and sup- ported academies and mission schools, where students might re- ceive religious instruction and in- fluence along with their secular studies. In the ccurse of the years such secondary schools have been numerous, and have each had a successful life. In the enlargement of the State educational system, however, many of these schools have been discontinued, but there row remain certain high schools end cclleges which are steadfastly fixed in the educational program of the Synod. There is, first, Davidson College, the institution of primary inter- est in the Synod for the training of Presbyterian manhood and the preparation of young men for the Gospel ministry and other Chris- tain callings. Its record and stand- ing have a high place in_ the thought of the people of the State. The Union Theological Seminary in Richmond is a vital part of the educational work of the Synod. In it have been trained much the lar- ger, part of the ministers who have served the churches of the Synod. There are two grade-A women’s colleges, Queens-Chicora, Char- lotte, with a fine historical back- ground dating from 1857; and Flcra Macdonald, Red Springs, which began its remarkably suc- cessful ;jreer 40 jfears ago in 1896. Peaee Junior college, Ral- eigh, was established in 1857; and Mitchell college, Statesville, dates from 1856. The Presbyterian Ju- nior cellege for men, Maxton, is the Synod’s newest institution, hav- ing been established in 1929, And important parts are filled in the Synod’s system by the Glade Valley high school, and Elise high school, Hemp. There are also cer- tain institutions in the State out- side the bounds of the Synod of North Carolina which are of special interest to this Synod. First among these are the Lees- McRae Institute and College at Banner Elk. It is the general feeling that many of our young men and young women should be educated in Presbyterian institutions, where religious training shall be safe- guarded and where a Presbyter- ian atmosphere shall prevail for the strengthening of the faith which has distinguished our church. Our Synod has presented to the Southern General Assembly, and to the country at large, the great conference facilities of Montreat, which it established. The advan- tages and blessings of the resort, now in the Synod of Appalachia, which cost so much faith and labor, are a contributicn to the Presbyiterian Ghurch which kas evidently met the approval of the Lord. May Montreat use its ad- vantages to the fullest! Great credit must be given to Dr. R. C. Anderson for his intense zeal in its development. We would noy be unmindfui of the various organizations of the Scuthern Presbyterian Church for the training and work of different classes ot membership; i. ¢., the Miss Ethel E. Kestler, Statesville; | Miss C. Lillian Austin, Maxton; | erland, Wallace; Miss Lettie | Beatty, Mocoresville, and Miss Elise V. Lee, Horseshoe. Other missionaries also have aksocta- tion with the Synod of North Carolina. And there are retired missionaries, like the Littles of also Rev. W. C. Buchanan. There | MARCHING ORDERS | | | | | ARE (Continued From Page One) “Religious Education and Fubli- cations”. 7 In Foreign Missions: We are responsible for 36,000,- 000 souls in the foreign field. With a Christian constituency of 169,681 (74,732 Communicants) we face a task which seems im- possible save to the eye of FAITH. “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible”. Matt. 19:26. Low Standard of Life In the second place the past has brought to us, or left with us, a low standard of life among church members. A great gospel preacher re- cently said, “The trouble with the | Church today is that her members have been inoculated with a mild type of Christianity”. This would seem to be true when we see sc large a number of Church members conffrming to this world. Sabbath desecration, gambling, divorce, drinking, cheating ir busi- | ness, cigarettes, crime and other things. We have drifted into so low a conception of Christian living that there is little difference between the life of many Church mmbers and that of these who are not. This condition in. the Church constitutes a challenge to inculcate in the mind, and demand in the conduct, the Bible teaching with reference to Christian living. To form in the Church the ideals of unworldliness. What saith the Scriptures? James 4:4 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the! friendship of the world is enmity with Gcd. Whosoever’ therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.” Kom. 12:2 “Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”. 2 Tim. 2:4 “No man that war- | reth entangleth himself in the af- fairs cf this life; that he may please Him that hath chosen him to be a soldier’. 1 Jno. 2.15 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is rot in its constituent organizations in the Presbyteries. Any statement or statistics of the work of the women could not accurately dis- play their loyalty to the church. Having them back cf every worthy Christian enterprise, and devoted te every cause designed to advance the Savicr’s Kingdom, the church has felt the impact of their pray- ers and labors, and owes much of its progress to them. While they keep their separate records, their work is merged in the genera] data of the church. Yet their 25,364 present members, with total gifts for last year amounting to $168,- i63, indicates an organized and zealous work in the Synod which is indispensable to its life. Sigmally Blessed. The Lord has signally blessed the Synod of North Carolina. During the past few decades we have been reaping a great harvest ircm the seed sown in earlier days. We have led all other Syrods in the South in vital statistics, and our accomplishments, with the Lord’s help, should stimulate us tu move more earnestly onward and possess the ground that the Presbyterian church is so. well eauipped to hold for the honor of the Lord. As to the past, we have had a_ blessed history, and we should prove ourselves worthy of our heritage. To repeat a quota- tion made by one of our mission- aries in a recent letter from his field, “A people who forget the whole deeds of their remote an- cestors will achieve nothing worth being remembered with pride by remote descendants.” We cannot afford to slacken in evangelistic and constructive in- terest, nor te abuse the ecnfidence which the great Head of the Church has so clearly reposed in us. Our present-day 365 ministers, 538 churches, and 80,922 members are a great potential force fer good be:fond hiwman calculation. And it is gocd to feel that we have as large churches as_ the First Church, Greensboro, with 1837 members, and the Second Church, Charlotte, with 1789 mem- bers, besides the many earnest and efficient smaller congregations throughout the State. Great things are possible for our Synod.

Past Brings Challenge In the third place the past brings |to us the challenge of a changed ‘and constantly changing political, ecenomic and social order. The world we face in 1936 is not the world our fathers faced in 1861, nor the world our fathers faced in 1813, when this Synod was organized. Indeed, this can be said of the world five years |ago. The world we face today is jchanging over night, and no man can say what condition will he to- morrow. The limitation of time wi!l not permit a discussion of these changes, nor is it necessary as an analysis today may not be correct tomorrow. To meet this “change and de- cay”, we have a God who is “in- finite, eternal and unchangeable”. “The counsel of Jehovah stand- eth fast forever. The thoughts of His heart to all generations”. (Ps. | 33:11). “The counsel, (the purpose) of ‘Jehovah standeth forever.” No |“Angels, men or devils can affect, defect or modify His eternal plans. |No changes in human affairs can |impede His plans; no oppositions jean defeat them; no progress can |supersede them”. (Barnes). “To. all gery fations’’, that is |from one generation of men to an- other; or, to all time. God Does Not Change. God’s Truth Does Not Change. Having said this let me hasten |to add, methods do change, adapta- |tion of truth change, interpreta- |tions change. The First General Assembly de- elared, “The Church has no right te construct or modify a_ gov- ernment for the State, and the State has no right to frame a creed or pclicy for the Church”. In per- fect harmony with this declara- tion recent Assemblies declared “the church in fulfillment of its spiritual function must interpret jand present Christ’s ideal for the individual and for society; -must warn men of the presence of sin and of its effects in individual life and in the social life; must offer Christ to the individual and to society as the only Revealer of God, and the only Redeemer of Mankind; must seek with the spiritual weapons at its disposal to establish His Lordship in the hearts of all men and over every area of human life. To this task we are summoned by apostles, and | prophets and by the Master Him- |self”. Again “The Church cannot jrest its efforts until all men, all jnations, are seeking to follow |Christ, not only in their interna- tional life, as well as their in- dividual lives on the teaching of | Jesus. It cannot rest until Jesus is | Lord of all men, and until He is also Lord of all life”. What the past has accomplished in achieving this objective chal- lenges us to go forward with an Unchanging Gospel, proclaimed to a changing world under the lead- ership and inspiration of our Head, an “infinite, eternal and uncnang- able” God. “Did we in confide; Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God’s own choos- ing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle’. The Past Brings To Us The In- centive of a Sound Ministry. We hear a great deal today a- bout Modernism and the falling away of the Ministry. It is true that in some of our sister churches the controversy between Modernism and Fundamentalism is absorbing the attention of Church Courts, Conferences, and Conventions. We are persuaded that while we tind a very noisy, and arrogant minority in our Church whe have , been caught in the stream of cur- ,rent Liberalism, and have corfin- (Continued On Page Four) our own strength Page Four THE BARIUM MESSENGER Sentember 2. MARCHING ORDERS ARE (Continued From Page Three) ed their study largely t» hooks and periodicals representing the Modernistic trend; we are persuad- ed to say, that a very large ma- jority of our ministers, especially in the Synod of North Carolina, sound, contending “for the are faith which was. once delivered unto the Saints’. (Jude 3). The soundness of the Ministers and Ruling Elders of the past, and the heritage they left us of an in- fallible Bible challenges us to carry on the testimony of Dabney, and Thornwell, and Girardeau and Johnson, and Webb and_ Strick- ler. The Synod of North Carclina will cherish and pass on to he: posterity the same “infallible rule of faith and practice” she has re- ceived from her forebears. Our men are sound and trusted to defend with thei: - an inspired Bible, The Birth, the fesurrection cf Body, the Miracles of cur Lord, indeed all the conclusions ot his- toric Presbyterianism as opposed to destructive criticism.

Martyrdom An Incentive The devotion, even to martyr-| dom, of those men and women who have given us our background, | furnish one of our’ greatest in-| centives. | The roll of those men _ and women who have placed their all upon the altar of service, and left behind the record of heroic achieve- ments is a long one - beginning with the moderator of the First General Assembly, Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. D., and the first Mis- sionary who went out (to China), Rev. and Mrs. E. B. Inslee, and closing with “he Metlerator of the last Assembly, Rev. P. F.

C., spoke on “Christian Edu- cation” this afternoon in ecnnec- tion with the report on educational institutions. Dr. McSween compar- ed world conquerors as Alexan- der and Bonaparte who trusted in force to Jesus Christ who sent men out to make Christians amid great sarifices. He said the great commissiqn imeluded evang)2lizp- tion, organization and education. “Christanity is more than a beautiful ideal,” said Dr. McSween. “It can solve the problems of in- dustry by the Golden Rule, those of race by Christian brotherhood, business by and not by force and law. Dr. McSween said the church’s duty was to furnish leadership by college education. “Since 80 per cent of the leadership of the world comes out of the.one per cent of college-trained people, the church cannot afford to stay out of college education. I believe our present generation of young people ic the scribe on our church’s banner as she now first unfurls it to the world in immediate connecticn with the headship of her Lord, His jest command: ‘Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature;’ regarding this as the great end of her organization, und obedience to it as the indis- pensable condition of her Lord’s promised presence, and as one great comprehensive object a pro- per conception of whose’ vast magnitude and grandeur is the only thing which in connection with the love of Christ is ever suffi- cient to arouse her enemies develop her resources, so as cause her to carry on with the vigor and efficiency which true fealty to her Lord demands, thcse other agencies necessary to her internal growth and home _ pros- perity”.

He said the mixed pepulation of Brazil Portuguese, Indian and Ne- xroes had produced a hybrid reli- gion of Catholicism, nature wor- ship and paganism. It is not to be ompared to the Catholic religion of the United States. Their trust in symbcls and form has taken the | place of faith. Even the image of Christ is a fetish. Protestant missions began in 1855, Presbyterians arrived in 1859. The first Protestant church in Rio was built in 1862. Now “we have as Presbyterians the largest kody of Protestants; one assembly, three synods, 21 presbyteries and 55,000 members. Methodists next and Baptists next.” | It would be unwise, he said, to withdraw trom Brazil, because the work is too weak. Protestants are mostly on seaboard while vast | western territory is untcuched. The 'Catholie church has lost its hold jon the intelligentsia. ‘“We must secretary said the reason produce save Brazil from the fate of Russia and Mexico,” Dr. Fulton declared.

C.,JANUARY 1936 ease at Thanksgiving Over $4,000.00 Iner | Football Boys Who Have Finishe d Careers Here When the Duke Endowment set up a standard of work for 44 Or- phanages in the two Carolinas) several years ago, the initial rank- | ing of the ‘mstitutions disclosed | that the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs led all others in point of service. This continues to be true after several years, for a recent chart sen, to officials here shows that Barium mainta‘ns its supremacy with 956 points out of a possible perfect | score of a thousand. Dr. W. S. Rankin, head of the, hospital and orphanage sections | of the Duke Endowment, wrote on December 26, 1935 amd enclosed a statement indicating numerically the quality of work maintaimed at Barium in comparison with work at similar institutions. In his letter Dr. Rankin said that “it is of interest to note that among the 44 institutions graded” the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home rank- ed “first in quality of service and fifth in cost per child per day.” The ratings of 12 other institu- tions were also given, though the names were not revealed, and it showed that another institution graded 955 points, only one less than the Orphanage at Barium. The eight factors involved in arriv- ing at the standard were social service, housing facilities, food served, clothing, health, moral and religious traiming and the financial records. In clothing, health, moral and religious training amd the keeping of financial records, Barium scor- ed the maximum number of points. Twenty-one points were lost in housing facilities, 15 in social service, six in education and two in food, for the total of 44 points less than the perfect mark. _ The chart gave a comparison with the average of the 13 learger institutions in the two states— Orphanages that are built to care for as many as 150 children. These ‘were Baptist, Oxford, Presbyter- jan, Methodist, Catholic, Children’s jHome, National Orphans’ Home and Alexander Schools im North Carolina, and Thormwell, Connie Maxwell, Epworth, Charleston and John de la Howe School in South Carolina. The average for the 13 Orphanages was 862, which shows that Barium is 94 points above the average.

Along with the joy of re- ceiving the Thanksgiving Offer- ing came the revelation that Poplar Tent Sunday School, since 1935-1936 started in April, has been devoting an offering per month to the Orphanage. This was revealed when a con- tribution was received for the past nine months. And, then the New Year was started off in great style when officials here were informed that Man- ley Sunday Schicol, in Fayette- vil Presbytery, had started 1936 by voting to give the first Sunday Offering to the Or- phanage every month. The ini- tial gift came in January. It’s a pleasure to add Poplar Tent and Manley Sunday Schools to the ever growing list ef “once-a-monthers”. Other Sunday Schools have this plan under consideration at the presemt time. Maybe there’ll be |} some other joyous revelations during January, or before the next issue of The Messenger goes to press. Music Club Notes | The Music Club has held its reg- ular monthiy meéeting. Several members of the club are prepar- ing to enter the state federated music contest which will be held in March. A public recital by the piano pupils and the glee clubs will be given in January. The following program was given at the last club meeting: Roll call answering with names of composers. “Gypsy Rondo”—Haydn, Hattie Michael. “A Waltz,” Fred Edwards. “Festival March”—Law, Stanley Smith and Miss Greene. “Hungarian Dance’’—Brahms, Linda Culp.

He brought us loads of nice things this year. We have so many pretty dolls and are having a wonderful time playing with them. Wish you could have seen our Christmas tree; it was beautiful with our gifts around it. Mr. Johnston and Mr. Brown’ gave out our gifts and we were one happy crowd when we opened our packages. Mrs. Adams (Betty’s grand- | mother) brought the nicest coco- | nut cake and we surely enjoyed it. Betty went home with her grandmother for a short visit. We were glad to have Mrs. Hol- | ton and Nancy Parcell stay with us while Miss MeGoogan’ spent the week-end with home folks.

We, like everyone else, have lots of snow. It now looks ag if it wants to turn to ice, but we’re hoping it won’t because we still remember the damage that was done by ice and sleet about two years ago. Some of the girls who had visits from their folks were: Flora Mae Newnam’s brother Oscar, who used to be a Barium boy, her brother, Robert, and her mother; Frances Morgan’s sister, Ruth, who is a former Barium girl, and her mother and brother; Mary Adams’ folks, who took her home for a few days; Glenn Linsday’s mother, who took her to Charlotte; and Nancy Stafford, Helen Price and Mary Ann McCormick also had visits from their relatives. Polly Garrett spent one afternoon in Statesville with her mother. Others of us, whose folks did not come, had a good time, too. We went to the show on Christmas Eve to see “Freckles”, with Tom Brown the star. We also went to see “Scrooge” during the holidays. We enjoyed both very much. Hi We say, with much regret, that | one of our girls, Lily McDonald, | is at the hospital, having under- gone an appendix operation the day before Christmas. All the Rumple Hall girls wrote her Christmas letter. (I bet she’s not through with them all yet.) We hope she'll be well and strong enough to come to us real soon.

XI 3ARIUM ‘SPRINGS, N. C. Home For THE INFORM ATION OF ITs FRIENDS The Barium Messenger PUBLISHED BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ FEBRUARY 193 THANKSGIVING OFFERING|| Some Snapshots Taken On Home-Coming Day NOW TOTALS $4,969.57, Perhaps a Thousand Dollars More Will Be Received in Belated Gifts The 1935 Thanksgiving Offer- ing had climbed to the total of $42,963.57 on January 31st, which is am increase of $5,152.26 over the final amount computed for the 1934 Thanksgiving response. On January 31st, 40 treasurers, who sent 1934 reports, had failed to send the 1935 Thanksgiving Offerings. On the basis of that which was sent a year ago, around $450.00 more will be received from those 40 treasurers, with sub stantial checks to be forwarded in supplementary sums from some churches. It is believed that a conservative estimate of the fimal Thanksgiv- ing total on March S3ist will be $44,000.00. This will mean an in- crease of over $6,000.00 compared with 1934, and almost $15,000.00 better than the Thanksgiving re- sponse of two years ago. Accoerd’mg to the nine Presby teries of North Carolina Synod the following shows the 1935 Thanks- giving Offering received by Jan- uary 31st, in comparison with the final Thanksgivimg totals of 1934: 1934 1935 to Presbytery Final Feb. 1,36 Albemarle $1,963.61 $ 2,137.95 Concord 8,979.33 9,626.65 Fayetteville 3,828.41 3,887.91 Granville 2,457.19 3,152.67 Kings Mountain 2,121.48 2,786.06 Mecklenburg 7,690.35 10,013.58 Orange 5,810.68 6,324.17 Wilmington 2,037.57 2,099.31 Winston-Salem 2,922.74 2,935.27 TOTALS $37, 811. 31 $42,963.5 The report at the conclusion of last month disclosed that every one of the Presbyteries of the Synod had shown a Thanksgiving increase, ranging from the mini- mum increase of $12.53 in Winston- Salem Presbytery to the maximum of $2,323.23 in Mecklenburg Pres- bytery. In between the following increases are observed: Granville $695.48; Kings Mountain $644.63; Concord $647.32; Orange $513.49; Albemarle $174.34; Wilmington $61.74, and Fayetteville $59.50.

Johnston T Talks to Fu- | ture Ministers at Semin- ary on Orphanage Work | Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs, was in Richmond, Va., for two days dur- | ing the latter part of January, | for the purpose of delivering a | series of lectures before the stu- | dent body of Union Seminary. Rev. Ross Lymn, D. D., | superintendent of Thornwell Or- phanage at Clinton, 8. C. will go | to Columbia Theological Semimary at Decatur, Ga. and to Louisville | Theological Seminary at Louis- | ville, Ky. next month, to deliver a | similar series of lectures. | The local superintendent spoke to the future ministers at Rich- Theological mond on the history of the Or- |phanage work and the present trend in this endeavor. He _ told them what constituted an Or- phamage responsibility, and out of his experience as head of the in- stitution at Barium Springs he re- counted many illustrations in his efforts to convey to the Seminary students facts which should guide them in their ministry when applications are made for entrance of children imto Orphanages. One of the requirements is that every child must be recommended to the Orphanage by a minister before the application is considered. Some time ago Mr. Johnsten, Dr. Lynn, Rev. Ben R. Lacy, D. D., president of Union Seminary and Rev. McDowell Richards, Jr., D. D., president of Columbia Theo- logical Seminary, conferred to- gether on this matter amd agreed that every two years such a Continued On Page Two) BAD WEATHER AFFECTS SUNDAY SCHOOL GIFTS Sunday Contributions from Schools in the Synod in January were next to the lowest of any | month of the past ten.

H.— Hats off te the 88 churches which contributed the best Thanks- giving Offerings in 11 years to the Orphanege, and congratula- tions to the 281 which showed ‘n- creases this past Thanksgiving. —P. 0. H.— The Sunday Schools are to be ccmgratulated that their giving is now over $800.00 ahead of that of 1934-1935, despite the infantile paralysis of the past summer and the snow this winter. The increase would perhaps be double this had it mot been for these two deterring factors. —P. 0. H.— Although the list is not be‘ng published, there were 192 churches in the Synod on January 31st which had given more in the 10 months of 1935-1936 than im the full 12 months of 1934-1935. The greater majority of the churches will show increases over last year before “finis” is written on the records, and many of them will y show substamtial increases over the gifts of a year ago. —P. 0. H.— “Bad weather and only 29 present,” wrote one treasurer, in what sounded like an apologetic tone. But, those 29 members con- tributed $7.67, which is one of the best Offerings coming to the Or- phanage for any of the past 10 months from that particular Sun- day School. That was an average of a little over 26 cents per mem- ber that day. We wonder to what heights the Offering would have climbed had there been full attendance that day! —P. 0.

We know of other Sunday Schools considering the adoption of this plan, amd a statement should be received from them sometime before long. We hope the answer will be in the af- firmative. If every Sunday School in the Synod, which is f'mancially able to do so, would follow this method of regularly assisting the Orphanage the institution would receive at least $10,000.00 more each year, and perhaps $15,000.00 more. There are sevcm large Sun- day Schools which together would give the Orphanage $4,000.00 a year if this plan were inaugurated. were mentioned now Besides these there are many smaller ones which do not now help each mcmnth. —P. 0. H.— “If it is O.

K. with us, because of | the saving in postage costs to the} Orphanage. We won't forget to write that Sunday School every now and then. Another Sumday School treasurer recently wrote across a remittance blank “No receipt necessary” and that has beciy hlappening quite frequently, with a consequent saving to the Orphanage every month. There are now 61 treasurers or individ- uals in the Synod whl say that receipts are not necessary and 59 others who say that a_ postal edgment. Not every one of these people send a gift each mcmth, though the majority do, so you can readily see that it is amounting te a considerable saving in postage cost in a year’s duration. —P. 0.

It isn’t much, but maybe it will help to buy some warm shoes and clothing for the children, especially the dairy boys. I know you will use the money to the best advantage for the chil- dren. As I can, I want to send money to help. I do wish that I could do a lot. I do hope that I can send no less than $100.00 this year if the boys keep their work. THANKS.

We hope she will soon be able to come home. We miss the potato cakes she always sends us for Sunday night supper. Since the snow is on the ground we have been putting food out for the birds. We like to watch them eat. Mary Ellen Morrison (Mrs. Grier’s niece) sent the Howard girls a box of camdy. We thank her very much.

Hope the snow will not be too deep for Miss Green to have her recital tonight (February 3rd). One of our girls is to play, one will recite and the rest of us are going to sing. Three of our girls have had scarlet fever; two of them are well and back with us. The other one will soon be back. We surely miss- ed the girls while they were ‘n the Infirmary. It has been too cold for us to get out to play but we have had a good time playing with dolls and games that Santa brought us. Miss Northrop, our third grade teacher, took eight of our girls to the picture show for making an average of 100 in Spelling during the month of December. Three of our girls made the highest aver- age in their grades during the same month and went to the pic- ture show. All of them enjoyed the shows. Five of our girls had birthdays in Jemuary and they enjoyed that good birthday dinner in the dining room.

To equal the aggregate of $15,- 594.03 given in the whok year of 1934-1935 will require $3,340.78 during the next two mmths. If the weather is pretty it i: believed that this will easily be possible. Thirty-three Sunday Schools in the Synod have already contributed as much as $100.00 to the Orphan- age, eixd this number is expected to be around 55 when ‘he final tabulations are prepared. Forty- nine Sunday Schools were ‘nm the $100.00 grouping last year. The 33 Sunday Schools already hav- ing reached that sum and_ the amounts contributed are as follows: Concord First $591.59, Salisbury | First $546.86, Winston-Salem First | $344.44, Olivia $262.42, Shelby | $247.07, High Point First $220.00, | Belmont $216.27, North Wilkesboro $214.69, Durham First $195.06, Kings Mounta‘n $193.49, Monroe $191.23, Tenth Avenue $188.75, Myers Park $186.99, Albemarle $186.82, Buffalo (G) $180.50, Burlington First $170.20, Rocky Mount First $169.88, Laurimburg $169.45, Statesville First $151.23, Gastonia First $143.20, Charlctte First $134.88, Clarkton $129.64, St. Andrews (M), $124.19, West- Saturday for us here.

Winston-Salem Presbytery was rumner-up to Mecklenburg in per capita giving in January, having sent an average of 11.3 cents to| the Orphanage, and this jgiv-ng last month put Winston- Salem back into the leadership, shoving Concord Presbytery back to second place. Orange Presbytery went ahead of Kings Mountain last mcmth, too, meaning that Kings Mountain dropped from | fourth to sixth place in the Synod, } because Mecklenburg had already | sent Kings Mounta'n back one notch.

Mecklenburg amd Orange Pres- | byteries have six of the above Sunday Schools; five each come from Concord, Fayetteville and Kings Mouniain Presbyteries; two | each from Grefwille and Winston- Salem, and one each from Albe- marle and Wilmington.

March 31,682 ? | Totals 155.940 122,533 At the emd of the 10th menth Kings Mountain Presbytery was far out in front of ali others in per capita regular giving from Srmday Schools. Kings Mountain’s average was 27 cents per member, with others in the following order: Concord 18¢, Fayetteville 18c.| Winston-Salem 18c, Orange 17c, Albemarle 16c, Wilmington 13c and Granville 10c. Orange Presbytery was the closest to its final 1934-1935 aver- | age, because Sunday School mem- bers in that Presbytery have regularly sent 17 cemts to date. | while the final average for last | year was 18 cents. It is expected | that Orange will show the great- jest gain of all, because so many | Sunday Schools in that Presby- tery have adopted the regular plan of giving in the last 12 months. Here’s the way the Presbyteries finished last year: Kings Moun- tain 33c, Winstcm-Salem 30c, Con- cord 27c, Fayetteville 26c, Albe- marle 22c, Orange 18c, Mecklen- burg 17c, Granville 15e, and Wil- m'ngton 15c. —P. 0.

Mecklcmburg, as stated above, has shown the greatest per capita ‘wwerease of any Presbytery, com- pared with last year’s standing. Granville follows with a 13.7 cents increase, Orange with 10.4 cents, Kings Mountain with 9.2 cents, Albemarle with 3.9 cents and Fayetteville with 2 cents per mem- ber.

The men of the church of Ccn- cord Presbytery gathered at the Orphanage on the night of Febru- ary 13th for the annual meeting. Feature addresses were made by Rev. Albert Sydney Jokmson, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte and by Rev. Thomas C. Cook, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Salisbury. Details of this will be given you in the next issue of The Messcnger. At the time that you will be reading this copy of The Mes- senger, the fifth Mid-Piedmont Basketball tournament, annually staged at Barium Spr’ngs, will be in progress. The Orphanage con- tingents do not perform, but act as hosts to the visiting 32 court teams, equally divided 'etween boys and girls. The tournament started Thursday, February 20th, and the finals are scheduled for Monday night, February 24th. Teams are invited to participate from a territory that comprises 15 counties. These tourmaments are growing in popularity every year and several hundred specta- tors flock to Barium to witness the performances. The Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs, located in Statesville and Mooresville, will gather at Barium on the night of March 13th for the annual supper prepared for the civic clubs, and their guests, of Iredell County. Members pay for the meal served them, just as they would pay a hotel for a dinner or lunch, while special enterta’nm ment is furnished them by the children at the Orphanage. The dining room at the Orphanage is generally packed on these oc- casions, for those who have at- tended them in previous » ears lock | upon the gathering at Barium as a very important date on the ' clubs’ calendars.

XIII BARIUM _SPRINGS, N. wi _ MARCH 1936, ROOF OF STEAM PLANT [3 DESTROYED BY FIRE Most of Roof Restored Same Day ittle Interruption in Heat Service. (By Jos. B. Johnston} It was early one Saturday morn- ing. I had just fimished reading the paper and turned back for a second look at the weather re- ports wh<m the telephone rang. The weather report said: “Colder tomorrow, with possibly rain or snow”. The telephone call was to tell me that something was on fire on the Orphanage grounds. In less than five minutes, I was at the scene of the fire. It was the | boiler house, our central heating | plamt—a place that visitors very seldom see, a place that we very seldom think about. Only one person works there, ordinarily, and for the most part, we just forget about it and accept our warm buildings as a matter of course, just as we accept the sunshime and the air. When I arrived the fire had gained so much headway that the best the fire-fighters could do was to keep the wreckage from de- stroying any of the machinery in the boiler-house. The fire had started from an accumulation of dust om the smoke flue which leads from the boiler house to the stack, and this had ignited the woodwork in the roof. Our volunteer fire department and the Statesville fire depart- ment did good work in checking the flames although the building was not saved. All the woodwork, except the doors and windows, was destroyed. It was far <mough away from all the other buildings so that mo uneasiness was felt as to the spread of the fire, and since it was not a very spectacular blaze, no apprehension was felt over the results, but there kept recurring to my mind that weather report. Also, something that a number of people had noticed: That every Sunday since the Sun- day before Christmas, there had/ been snow cn the ground at Ba- rium Sprijags. Usually it was fall- ing snow; and that conditicn with- out a central heating plant would be about the most disastrous thing that could happem at the Orphan- age. We all enjoy our snows here. We love to get out and snowball, to build snow men, to coast and skate on it whem it is frozen, but our enjoyment is based on the realiza- tion that we can always run back in the house and warm up when we get cold. Now if something} should happen to our buildings so that we could not go back to get warm, the snow, instead of being something to have fun with, would be something to be terribly afraid of; and that was the possibility that loomed in the destruction of our central heating plant. I communicated my fears to our | carpenter, to Mr. Lowrance, Mr. Grie. and to the rest of our work- ers and larger boys; amd then things commenced to h.ippen.

Coach Buck Jackins’ Springs High wrestling team successfully defended their State Champicmship in the annual high scheol wrestling tournament com- pleted Tuesday, February 11th, at Chapel Hill in the “tin can” gym, before a large crowd of in- terested spectators. Triumph in the wrestling tourna- ment was the third for Barium Springs and gave the Presbyterian Orphanage team permament pos- session of the trophy first offered six years ago. Durham also had two legs on the trophy and staged a great but losing battle in its effort to nose out the Barium boys. Barium won with 41 points—just four more than Durham could accumulate. Other teams’ scores: High Point, 28; Thomasville, 9; Greensboro, 0. Barium Springs furnished four of the individual champicms in cluding D. Spencer. 135, and R. Spencer, 145, brothers; Gaskill, 125, and Captain Flowers, 145. Barium Springs High grapplers accumulated 25 points for the opening day’s work, Monday, Feb- ruary 10th. Durham, with 22, was second. High Point scored 20 points and Thomasville scored 9. Greensboro failed to score.

Nine Dual Victories In addition ta their excellent performances in the state wrest- ling meet, the Barium boys won nine dual matches during the sea- son, twice defeating Salisbury high, Greensboro high, Thomasville high, and Mt. Airy high, and win- ning from Davidson College fresh- men. In the nine matches Barium piled up a total of 246% points, which was almost four times as many as the 62% garnered by their opponents.

THE BARIUM MESSENGER buds are on the trees. Mama Girt has been sick for a long time and we wanted her real bad. Saturday morning she got up and we were so excited! You miss- ed seeing a happy crowd by not being here when she came into the room where we were. A few of the babies have been sick but we have cnly one at the Infirmary now. He is Dallas Ammons, but we guess he will soon be up. While Mama Girt was sick her two sons and Murphy’s wife came to see her. We were glad to have them because they were a great help for Mama Girt. The days are getting warmer emd we have a good time playing outdoors. During Mama Girt’s _ illness. Margaret Moore, a Woman's Building girl, came to help us. Those in our cottage old enough to Zo to school missed our good time with Miss Turmer. We stay- ed with her some. Miss Woods stayed with us, too. We like to lave them both. We have another sick baby since we wrote the above. Betty Joe Smith is now ill. We hope no one else gets sick. We hate to have her away from us. —The Babies ANNIE LOUISE Dear Friends, We are glad that the snow has all melted and that we are having spring weather. Five of our girls had birthdays in February and enjoyed that good dinner in the dining room. Martha Price end Helen Hawley received birthday cakes from their mothers. When we had our party they gave each of us a piece of cake and we enjoyed it very much. We are sorry to lose two of our lgirls, Anna Turner and Billy | Ammchs. They are moving to MARCH 1936 ‘ ‘ \Meals Served by S. S,| Sunday Schools are to be con- gratulated upon having contri- buted $1,066.12 to the Orphanage in February, because the attend- ances were almost universally re- duced that month because of bad weather and epidemics of measles, influenza and mumps in various. localities. The February, 1936, re- ceipts from the Sunday Schools were slightly better than those of January, and likewise were a shade greater than the Offerings for February, 1935. Such statements as the above would never have been possible were it mot for the fact that many additional Sunday Schools are now giving the Orphamage an Offer- ing per month. And, this condi- tion is going to improve as the months go by, as readers will prob- ably have noticed in The Mes-~ sengers of the last several mcnths the names of other Sunday Schools joining in this regular assistance. There will be a number of others beginning the plan when the new fiscal year starts in April. Watch The Messenger for these mames. Some hlave already notified of- ficials that it has been voted to do this, but the names of these will not be disclosed until the -_ issue of the paper is publish- ed. It is rather interesting that the Sunday Schwcols have contri- buted a regular total of $13,319.37 in the past 11 months, which is only $100.00 less than the Sunday Schools of the Synod sent the Or- phanage in the 12 months of 1933- 1934. Tn other words, the Sunday Schools will contribute over $3,- 060.00 more to Barium in monthly gifts than was given two years ago. That would possibly be a $4,000.00 increase except for the Howard Cottage to make room for two new girls, Nita and | Dorothy Shepherd, who came to | join the big family here early in |March. We shall miss cur old | friends, but welcome the new- comers. | We have two other new girls |‘ our cottage, too. They are Lee and Helen Vinson, who came to Barium the early part of Febru- ; ary. We hope all four of these will like to live with us. We want to thank Mrs. Bri- |gance for those beautiful Valem-| tines she sent us. We are to have the arnual civie| club supper here next Friday week, which happens to be Friday, th: | 13th, Three clubs from Statesville end two from Mooresville will be represented. Several of our girs| /are on the program for thiaz might. | Mabel Billings, one of our girls, has entered the district music | contest. She is to play in Salisbury | next Saturday.

XII ue BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C. A Boys | Brief Writeup About Class | In this issue we are displaying the 1936 graduating class. Do vou like their looks? We do. In fact, they have sort! of grown on us. This particular group of youngsters have been at the Orphanage a total of 177 years, an average of a little over nine years (which is a rather long time!). This class is entirely made up of Orphanage children. For the first time since way back in 1930, there has not been a single class without some of the “town” boys and girls be- ing in the number. The class of 1937 will make up for this condition by having three. There are two brothers and two sisters among those who | graduate this year. This may account for the unusual! harmony that seems to prevail at all times. Taking it as a whole, we thoroughly recommend this class for all of the usual virtues and some very unusual ones. | They are easy to get along with. They are quite willing to carry their share of the load and are not afraid of being | imposed upon. They get along well together, and with other folk, and | they are pretty good kids even if we do say it, an shouldn’t! | Georgia Burgin has been in the Orphanage the shortest | length of time—just a little under six years.

It puts some of us to shame to think of the privileges we have of a sound body and a physical capacity to earn money, | and how we sometimes fail to |share these things with the Lord. Yet this person, denied those things, has sacrificially given to aid the Orphanage. It Wasn't Necessary One lady was interested in hav- ing her Sunday School adopt the Ofrering-per-month plan.

Pleasing Performance The Orphanage population was delightfully entertained one morn- ing in March when an American Indian, who goes by the appella- tion of Blue Sky Eagle, gave a performance here. His _ services were gratis. This is the second tiine he has visited Barium, and his performances have been in- formative and enlightening to the |children here. You'll tind this mentioned quite frequently in the ccttage news in this issue. | Evangplistic Services | Dr. Carl W.

One day it thundered and there was lightning, then we had a real good snow, but it was too wet to play in. A half-holiday was given the teachers because they had to go to a teachers’ meeting. There was a real good picture recently, named “Rose Marie,” and two of our girls went to see it. We had the pleasure of having Rev. and Mrs. McLaurin of Row. land spend the night with us on March 17th. We hope it will stay pretty so that we can soon Zo barefooted. Oh, boy! Will we like that? One Saturday we had some visitors from a church in Charlotte and we enjoyed them very much. They gave us some chewing gum and, much to our sorrow, a little girl got some in her hair. We have been playing in the sand and working some on our flowers. We thought we were pull- ing weeds, but it turned out to be flowers, so we stopped. ~ We had a very lucky day this week. The Home Circle of Gra- ham Auxiliary sent us a levely quilt pillow top. Then, Mrs. Jim Hill, of Statesville, made us a visit and brought us some de- licicus jellies and preserves from her Circle of the Statesville First Auxiliary. Thank all of you who | had a part in this. We feel sure that if you received as much pleasure irom fixing it as we do in receiving it, you have plenty.

That was real good, too. He did the war dance, harp dance, and two cther dances for us. We didn’t catch on to all the Indian signs he did, but we remember some of them. Blue Sky Eagle showed us a scalp, told us about his head- dress, shcwed us his bow and arrow and talked Indian talk which sounded funny to us.

Three cf the | {crmer have adopted the Offering- ver-month plan, and four others whose finances did not permit the | setting aside of an offering each month for the Orphanage will give | the fifth Sunday responses. It is estimated that there Sunday Schools and classes together will vive between $450.00 and $500.00 | t, the Orphanage during the com- ine 12 months, and that’s a very valuable sum to the institution. Gilwood Sunday School in Con- | cord Presbytery started the Offer- | ing-per-menth plan a few months aro. but this was not ascertained | until recently. Centre Sunday School in the same Presbytery made its initial fifth Sunday | Offering in March. contributing | $7 22 the first time. Erwin and MeMillan Sunday | Schools are two in Fayetteville | Presbytery which have started the cnce-a-month method. Erwin began it in March and sent $6.00 the first month. The April gift from Erwin was $10.00. McMiilian ini- tiated that plan in April and sent | $5.29 as its first Offering. Matthews and Nevin Sunday | Schools in Mecklenburg Presby- | tery are joining the ranks of the fifth Sunday contributors. Mat- thews started this in September with a gift of $8.98; the snow in December prevented an Offering | on December 29th, but the March | sum was $7.80. Nevin Sunday | School has notified Barium of- | ficiais that the first fifth Sunday | Offering for Barium wil! be made on May 3ist. Geo. W. Lee Memorial Sunday Schoo] in Winston-Salem Presby- | tery made its first fifth Sunday | Offering in March! ihe gift total- | ing $27.10. | While the Greensboro First Sun- day School as a whole hasn’t a- | dopted the Offering-per-menthi plan, the Men’s Bible Class has | changed its method of giving Ba- Just three more weeks until commencement.

Miss Taylor has been sick for about two weeks but is well now. But, she is still weak. School is nearly cut and exam- inations will scon be here. An Indian came and gave us a} good show and we enjoyed it. We thank him very much. Track season is at hand and we have had two meets and won them both. for Barivm in 1936-1937, to be sent in quarterly installments for the special support of a child that will be designated as “theirs”. Perhaps there will be others re- | corded in the May issue of The M>senger. A number of Sunday School superintendents,/were writ- ten about this in February, and several of them took up the matter in Sunday School Council} meet- ings or appointed committees to in- vestigate the feasibility of doing this for the Orphanage. The Or-| phanage appreciates the considera- | tion given to. the suggestion, and | knows, from the replies that were recived, «shat ‘other Sunday Schcols wil! join the others in reg- | ular, systematic giving as soon | as finances permit.

Then two assistant matrons help the regular kitchen matron | 5). subject of the c to prepare dinner. Four girls assist the kitchen matron in preparing | aupper. In the summer time this routine is the same, except that there are no assistant matrons. A group of girls take the place of the assist- ant matrons and help prepare dinner. Our breakfast consists (usually) of cereal, milk, sometimes eggs, sometimes bacon, and on rare occasions, cakes. Don’t get the idea from this that this is just a pink-tea affair.

Very seldom are there any left of the 56 boxes of cereal for breakfast. In addition, we quite often have oatmeal.

Eggs? Oh, yes, we have eggs frequently. Some- times hardboiled eggs, scmetimes scrambled and these eggs are not like Mormon Missionaries—that is, they don’t go in pairs. Usually the part allotted to each child is one egg. Even with that, one complete crate of eggs doesn’t quite do the job; 400 is needed for a meal What do we have for dinner? Well, that just depends on the time of year. If it is sweet potato time (and that usually lasts all year!) it takes five bushels for the meal. Four bushels of Irish potatoes seem to do. Nobody has accurately measured the amount of beans that is necessary to string, although when they are canned eo Si The above will give you some idea of the needs for a meal In the picture you can see 22 bowls of peach pie: add 18 more which the photographer failed to get in the picture, for a total of 40 is required. At the extreme right take a giance at those haking pans that are used for cornbread. How many did you count? it takes 16 gallons. It takes 21 cans of pie peaches to arrange for peach pie all ’round. The Howard Cottage girls say tha: it takes a whole truck lead of string hean~ tn e¢. around (they are the ones that | have to siring them). Fifty dozen roasting ears takes care cf the situa- tion; and then, to wind up the meal (except in fresh fruit time) 12 gallons of canned fruit. For supper there is usually that good old Southern dish—grits. We use it as a sort of mortar to make a homogeneous mixture of the other things that usually come along at this meal. We are not so hurried at supper as we are at other meals and can take more time. Usually a meat course appears and that meat business requires an explanation in itself. Instead of trying to describe to you a daily ration we will sum it up with a week’s. Here is what we eat in a week’s time in the way of meat: Two hogs (average weight, 225 pounds); a half a beef (around 400 pounds) all of which is interspersed with chicken occasionaily, rabbit occasionally, and | mutton more frequently. On those occasions when we do have fried chicken it requires the preparation of 75 unfortunate young chickens. When it is rabbit, it takes 20 frying-sized rabbits. These rabbits, by the way, weigh about six pounds each. There is another item that appears on our tables at practically every meal, and that is 40 gallons of milk. We have recently made some im- provements in the dairy department which will be described more in detail later which makes this milk just taste better and do better. Did you ever taste milk that left a lingering-after taste, as though you had eaten a particularly tasty nut? Well, that’s the way our milk is now. The kitchen prepares, in the course of a year, approximately 297. 920 individual meals; fixes lunches to be taken to the cottages for 33- 280 meals; and to keep this business rolling the farm contributes 2,000 bushels of wheat to bread us; 16,000 pounds of pork; usually about 40 lambs; 500 chickens; 36,000 eggs; and corn meal necessary for corn- bread and such. The orchards supply approximately 1,000 bushels of peaches for eating, strawberries, raspberries, pears, apples, plums. in varying amounts and from 500 to 1,000 pounds of honey to coax it down—if it needs any coaxing! In addition to this the orchard department cans on an average of 8,000 cans of fruit and vegetables. The dairy supplies from 45,000 to 50,000 gallons of milk and 25 beeves; and the truck farm supplies an endless variety of vegetables and mellons. In addition to this, we usually buy about 1,000 gallons of canned fruit and vegetables of the (Continued On Page Two) same Sunday School has the Orphanage in its budget for a | ed their careers here were award- d their diplomas, various medals ; were presented aii other events substantial appropriation. | took place that night Cherryville Sunday School in | After the processicnal, Rev.

The debt a year ago was $98,473.93. This and many other facts re- garding the affairs of the institu- tion were brought out in the re- ports of the superintendent and treasurer of the Orphanage at the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Regents, which was held at Barium on Monday and Tuesday, May 11th and 12th. The members started assembling Monday after- noon for committee meetings, the opening session was held Mon- day night and the business was concluded by noon of Tuesday. The superintendent’s report re- \viewed the varied phases of the Orphanage work, touching upon jthe general condition, the work | of the school, the health of the ,childrtin, the enrollment at the Orphanage and many other | Matters. Incorporated in his re- |port were many statistical and | detailed reports of several de- , partments. ) At the end of the fiscal year, | reported Mr. Johnston, there were | 303 children at the Orphanage, 19 | of whom were graduated in April. The case work committee had re- | viewed the applications, and studied the acceptances and re- fusals of admission. That com- mittee had before it complete de- tails prepared by Miss Rebekah Carpenter, case worker. Mr. R. G. Calhoun, principal of the school, presented his report through Mr. Johnston, shpwing that there were few failures of promotion in high school during the past year, and that only a nominal number failed in the low- er grades. Special information was furnished regarding the in- telligence rating of the seventh grade, which showed that it led | the schools of Iredell county and ranked high in the entire state tabulations. Mr. Johnston reported on the health of the children. Most of them had influenza during the year, but none was a serious case. | There were three cases of scarlet fever, but these were isolated. There weré no ¢f&ses of infantile paralysis. The usual number of tonsil and appendix operations were necessary, and there were several more serious operations performed. There were no deaths at the Orphanage last year, and while it was not brought out in the report this is the ninth year during which there has been only (Continued On Page Three) the 100- and 220-yard dashes at the | state high school track meet, and Ed.

Our youngsters do not seem to} need stimulants to get cranked off in the mornings. And now we come | to the dining room, a : The kitchen group prepares the food; the dining room group, serves it. There are 40 tables seating eight peopke each. There is| one waitress to two tables which means 20 girls are on duty. The meals are put on the tables about five minutes before meal time, and the waitress sees that food is kept supplied. The amount first put on the table is barely enough for a modest heiping for each one at the table, and it is the waitress’ duty to keep the dishes replenished. It is up to the waitress to estimate the total consuming power of | the 16 people that she is waiting on. If she is a bad guesser, in that! she does not bring in enough, there are 16 people who will inform her | about this in more or less guarded language. If she brings too much, | the amount of her bad estimate goes to the pigs. They are served | from the back porch. There is no tablecloth on their table, but never- theless their food is almost as carefully taken care of as the other. It} goes through a chute to a barrel and this barre] is hauled each morn- ing to the Hog College where it eventually graduates into pork. | ' The waitresses in the dining room are such good ag — supply that goes to the pigs is a very small quantity. It is the pi of this api of young girls to set the tables, to wash the dishes afterwards, clean up the dining room. change tablecloths, to generally police that very important gathering place—the dining room. These girls have to get up a little earlier in the mornings than the rest of | the population. They have to hustle immediately after breakfast to} get the dishes washed and the tables set for dinner. They have to hurry in from schoo] at noon and serve meals. One grade of them— the seventh—has to stay an extra hour at dinner to wash the dishes and otherwise clean up the wreckage so that the work can be finished in the afternoon. They simply go to schoo] one hour later and stay one hour longer than the others, This may explain why there are so Yew failures {n the seventh grade! iF. The kitchen is presided over by Miss Boone Long; the dining room, by Mrs. Mamie Purdy. Their jobs recognize no holidays, no jet-ups | of any kind. Appetites must be satisfied, and there is nothing any more permanent about a meal than there is about a bath! Three hundred and more children leave the dining room three times a day with a satisfied expression on their faces. Within six hours they are back most amazingly empty! We wonder what becomes of it all. It is only when we measure and weigh up at the first of the year that we get sume inkling of the extent of the miracle of turning bread into boys and girls. : It just looks like the food that the beys raise and the girls pre- pare is more effective in building up bone, muscle and brain than the article which is not home-raised. It seems to do a lot of things for us. Maybe if our pigs were granted a brief glimpse of what happens to, them immediately after they graduate from their college, they would be amazed. You know our football field is part of the original hog pasture. Just across the fence from the football field the hogs still disport themselves. Shall we call it a “rooting” section? Well, some crisp Tuesday morning in the fall a hog may be rudely snatched from this rooting section, and swiftly go through the procedure of be- ing scraped clean of hair, and otherwise prepared for the sausage mill. By Thursday (at the latest) it appears on our dining room table as most delicious sausage, and Friday afternoon, he again (in another form) occupies a very busy section of the bleachers at our football games—in another rooting section! Do you get that, or is it too deep? Anyhow, our rooting is very effective and the things they root for are also most effective and we believe these home-raised articles have something to do with it. Comparing the whole work of the place we want our athletic teams, for instance, to mount up on wings as the eagles. We want many of our other departments to be like those that run and are not weary. They have their days of extreme activities and then their days of relaxation. We want our kitchen and dining room to be like those that walk and do not faint. It’s an everyday business. It no doubt gets monotonous. To have to have some special arrangement | for even a part of this group to be excused from a single meal; and | yet, if they do not hold up each day’s job to a high level, the result is | a lowering of the vitality and the effectiveness of gvery department he Orphanage. 77 We nid = would start at the end and work back.

AT GRADUATION PERIOD (Continued From Page One) pastures larger than Pennsylvania and corn plots greater than the | State of Illinois. This was simply cn» cf the many ways in which he pointed out to his hearers the vastnes~ of the United States. He asked them te think of their ountry as a varied one from the products that are grown and the climates that it has. He urged them to think of their country “in ‘l its power. Someone has said that the American flag looked like a piece «f stick candy, and an in- dividual agreed when he _ said, ‘Ye-, it’s made eve rybody sick who has tried to lick it.’ Outside of Britain, Amerca is the mest power- ul nation of the world. You’re a native-born. citizen, be proud of it. Think of the beauty of the country, think of the people in it.” As erting thai first and fore-| most the flag stands fer duty, he| followed this up by saying that the flag does not mean getting a| government job. “There are too many people whose whole idea is) ‘o get scmething out of the “cvernment, not doing something for it. but dcing the country for something. The flag doesn’t mean keeping things just as they used to be. The idea of some people to- day is to put the ecnstitution under a glass cage. That’s not patriotism. “hat’s stupid. Neither does the flag mean, ‘my country, right or| | be locked at and used only on Sun- Your country may be wrong.” On the positive side he said that the flag does mean to know yeur country, know its histcry, being a press-agent for it. It! means kncwing your nation as it is. It means working for your country. It means thinking cf government as yourself, for after all “we are the g: vernment. Whatever the gov: rnment does through all of its alphabet, from A to Z, is paid by you and me. Whatever is dene, we're responsi- ble.” He went on to say that the flag means upholding th» fundamental #nd basic ideals of the forefathers. “How many people read the con- stitution, the Declaration of In- dependence, Washington’s address- es, Lincoln’s second inaugural | address? You'll find,” he said, | “that our forefathers stocd for liberty, but people nowadays are| loving their indepedence, they are letting other people think for| them, they are becoming cogs in a machine. Believe in the - and privilege of the individual.” Lastly, Dr. Fereman deciared that the flag meant “maintaining the ideals of our religion. It will be a black day for America when | religicn, becomes a form, some- thing enclosed in a book, and to days. In North America a great many people came over to find Grd. If the ideals of God become old-fashioned or thrown overboard it will be a dark day for America. Make your religion real.” Baccalureate Sermon “Be a benediction to the world and a blessing to your state by being a good citizen, an asset to society and ycur Saviour, and not a liability,” was the plea of Rev W. W. Akers, pastor of the West Avenue Presbyterian church 0” Charlctte, in the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the high school at the Presbyterian Orphans’ Hcme when he spoke to | them Sunday morning, April 26th. “You’ve received a blessing, pass it on,” he urged. Mr. Akers used Abraham, cne ‘f the most august characters of the Bible as an example for the vraduates to follow. He used that! pstion of tk4: twelfth chapter | of Genesis when Abraham was told | to leave his own country, when God tcld Abraham tha+ He would bless him, make his name great | and pass it on to generations to) ccme. “God called Abraham to a particular positicn, a special place | and a special work, which shows | that God, the Great Architect, has a plan for each individual—a d'vine plan and a divine’ work. Find out that plan and develop it| | to the best of your ability,” was | his advice As a second point he | emphasized the strong faith of Abraham, who was ready to obey God aud adcpt His plan, and the Charlotte minister pointed out that God always “enccurages us in the things that He calls us to do. If we take up the cross, if we suffer, if we do everything that He cal]Js upcn us to do, He enriches Lg The speaker pointed out that God didn’t say to Abraham that He would make him famous, or ich, or a great character of the Bibie. God simply told Abraham that He would make him a bless- ing, but riches, fame and honor and many other things came to Abraham because he obeyed. Then fellowed a series of illus- trations to show how men had suffered, how they had endured oppositicn, worked diligently and incessantly, sacrificed themselves | that they might develop a scheme | that would be a blessing to man- | kind.

Christ was given to the world, | he continued, that the world! might be blessed through eternal | salvation. Special work was plan- | MAY 1936. God asks you to take it and pass | it on.” Night Sermon “Facing Life Victoriously,” was the subject of another stirring and thought-provoking sermon delivered at Barium that night, when Rev. Harry K. Holland, pastor of the Plaza Presbyterian church in Charlotte, speke to the graduates, the asscmbled members of the young people’s societies and «ther: who had gathered’ for the second graduation exercise. Threughout this sermon Paul was upheld as the great example of faith. as one who lived the victor- icus life, as one who was ready to. say at the end of life, “Thy will be done.” In examining the life of Paul, the visiting minister fcund four distinctions of faith. First of all, he said, Paul had faith in himself, “Paul bowed his head to no man; mn scme ways, he was an ultra-. cgotist, but this great man had his faith in himseif tempered by a super-faith in Jesus. We can’t afford to feel that we are defeat- ed before we start; you must have: faith in your own ability.” He told of a young baseball player who was repeatedly farmed out by big leaguers, and his college ecach explained it by saying, “He uosen’t nave confidence iy him- self.” Cunfidence can go too far,. he warned, but not if it is temper- ed by a knowledge of Christ. As a second point he said that. Paul believed in Jesus. “The cross of Christ became a glorious fact in Paul’s life. He felt that he was crucified in Christ. He knew that Christ had already saved him. He knew that Christ came as a rep- resentative of the resources and power cf heaven.” At this juncture he told of the cry “Man Overboard” that gues up on a sump when a man is washed into the sea by a high wave, and the rejoic- ing that follows when he is saved. He felt that the angels looked over the battlements of heaven as they watch the saving of a lest soul, and that there was glorious rejoic- ing when a lost man was saved. “Paul not only believed in Christ on the cro.s, but he had faith in the presence of Christ in his life. He knew Christ was present with him always, when he was in the midst cf enemies, when he was shipwrecked, wherever he was and with whomscever he happened to 2, Christ was there, too. Paul was afraid of nothing and said, “I can do all things thrcugh Christ which strengthened me.” As his fourth point, Mr. Holland said that Paul had taith in his desiny. “Ie knew where he was going, and at the end cf life he ‘ula say, ‘I have fought a good fight.’ hat destiny «f his was «ppermo t, and because of it he could face all difficulties undis- turbed and unperturbed.” In closing he asked all his hearers, “As you face life, will you not have faith in yourself, in Christ in the destiny out yonder? You’re on the stage ot life, play- ing the game of life. Play it like ui o Wud have ycu play it. Will vou not ke censcious cf His presence, will you not assume the ae.cuge of conqueror and victor es yuu lock upon danger and peril, those things which make for de- feat and which you will inevitably meet?” Program By Grades On Friday night April 24th, the grammar grades presented a very interesting program as the first event of the 1936 commence- ment.

This is the closest that Synod has been to the minimum of $1.20 needed in the past four years, and the total money sent lacked around $10,000.00 of reaching a normal income before the successive de- creases started. If every Presby- tery in the Synod could next fall put on as effective a Thanksgiv- ' ing campaign as has been worked li a tew of the Presbyteries it | is believed here the giving of |1936-1937 would go back to a normal figure. To Mecklenburg Presbytery goes the distinction cf showing the largest per capita increase in the past 12 months. Mecklenburg had «an average that was 19.6 cents better than in 1934-1935; Granville showed a gain of 15.2 cents for the next best and other gains regis- tered were Orange 14.7 cents; Kings Mountain 4.6 cents; Albe- marle 2.8 cents and Wilmington four-tenths of a cent. Fayetteville’s average was identical with that of the year before. Winston-Salem maintained her leadership of the largest per ‘capita giving, and the rank of | Concord, Albemarle, Granville, Fayetteville and Wilmington Pres- |byteries was the same as HOWARD Hello Folks, School has cloced and we are | having a good time playing these | fine days and are lcoking for- | ward to the time when we ‘an go in swimming.

In addition to the debt redue- tion of $30.895:53, the auditors’ re- port prepared by Haskins and Sells showed that the assets of the institution increased -and that there was an increase in the en-| dowment through legacies which came to the institution.

The next one to arrive was on June 2nd—Louise Russell Lillington. Louise might have been homesick when she came; if so, nobody has found it out. She came here wearing a smile and is still wearing that smile and somehow it seems as fresh as though she had just put it on. She lives in Howard Cottage and is around 12 years of age. On June 11th Myrtle Howard came in, and Myrtle completed a family set-up. Her mother who is a widow, had married Mr. Bolton, who was a widower. They both had children already and then they had some more children. Myrue’s coming here made the set com- piete. We had his family, her family and their family. Myrtle aid not stay with us quite a year, for her mother has re-married and she and her younger halt-sisters are again united with their mother. We are delighted that this nice family is again together. On the same date with Myrtle Howard, came little Betty Lou Davis trom Wilmington—a little brown-eyed, white-haired girl just about ready to start in school. Of course Betty Lou went to the Baby Cottage and added to the mix-up of names over there. They already had a Betty Jo, a Peggy Jo and a Betty Lou; and now if you go about that place and say unylming tnat sounds like “Betty Jo” or “Betty Lou” you are liable to be smothered with little white-headed girls that all look somewhat alike. Two of them are tw.ns, by the way. On June 19th, Lacy Adcox came from the fine city of Aber- deen. He came in on the 19th, and ui you had seen him on the 20th, you would no doubt have believed that he had been here for the last ten years.

From The Connie Maxwell. It may not be a very original re- mark, but I to say that of our old customs are passing. Styles are changing rap- idly in every field. The horse and buggy ‘have about passed* out. Long Whiskers have nearly gone. We dod':not longer hear’ the har- rowing deathbed’ story from the professipnal | evangelist. We do not often hear the sob story about the poor, little starving ‘orphan. That Style has played out. We are now bringing intelligence and com- mon sense into play and though we are not so sentimental’ about | Orphanage work as formerly, we | are supporting it with a noble and | well-sustained sentiment. What shall we do when request | comes that Jimmie be received at the Orphanage? We first want to decide whether there is a good reason why he should come. Solu- tion of the question is sought at the hands of trained social work- ers. They are persons of common sense plus specialized training that has fitted them to deal in an able way with children. Thank God we have always had common sense mothers as well as common sense teachers to deal with the children of our land. But when a year or two of training in a school of social work is added tc a col- lege course and that is added to common sense, we have 3 person equipped to do a very fine job. This social worker sent to in- vestigate the facts about Jimmie wants to find out, first of all, whether he is receiving Govern- ment aid. We are told that six million children are now receiv- ing Government aid though only as members of families. No chil- dren receive direct aid, as the Government has_ steadfastly _re- fused to aid children’s institutions or agencies. There are probably a few hundred thousand children HOW venture many not members of families who stand in need today. Such boys and girls “Head, are all examined and if physical | who have no homes and no well established family, but must be cared for beyond the walls of their own home are being refer- red to private agencies. Jimmie, it seems, belongs to such a class, {having no home in which he may be secure. Inquiry is made as to whether his father is living. It is discov- ered that his father is dead. Then, is his mother living? Yes. Is she a competent mother? The ques- tion has to be answered in the nega- tive. It must then be found wheth- er there are relatives in position to care for him and willing to do so. Many of them are visited and nothing is favorable. Failing to find an uncle or other relative, effort is made to place Jimmie in a suitable family home as a guest. Nothing favorable seems to offer and so it looks as if Jimmie will have to be allowed to come to the institution. Then another question is asked as to whether the institu- tion is such as will be suitable |for Jimmie, for everything must depend on that. Jimmie is an in- |dividual and must be studied as such. Children are not managed en masse any more. The one great question is what does Jimmie need? ‘It seems to be clear that he should be received and notice is given that he may come. When Jimmie arrives at the Orphanage he is detained at the Sanitarium building for a season ‘and the doctor comes in to give a ‘thorough physical examination just as if application were being made for a life insurance policy. teeth, throat, heart, lungs condition of, Jimmie is excellent, he is after some two weeks or so detention, transferred to a cottage jand a step-mother is found for him. | She receives him and adopts him as her own boy. This mother of the cottage is not merely some good person who could not find work anywhere else and who has come to the Orphanage to work for almost nothing. She must be an educated woman of the teacher type and must have ability to put intelligence into her efforts to lead and guide her children. Jim- mie is expected to remain with her so long as he resides at the Orphanage, even if it should be until after the completion of the llth grade. Then he is put in one of the squads for afternoon in- dustrial work either at dairy, farm, garden, repair shop or printery. And so Jimmie begins his life at the Orphanage. But is he ever heard from after this? Having been placed is he lost in the mass? That was the old style, but since the new style came in he is followed individual- ly and closely studied from year to year. A detailed and lengthy rec- ord has been made by the Case Worker following her investiga- tion of the facts relating to Jim- mie’s ancestry and environment. He is followed after being enroll- ed as a student and record to show just how Jimmie progresses, how he makes adjustments, and what/| cocks are his attitudes and what is the condition of his health. This an- nual record is written and attach- BART UN ME pate SI i Seta ed to the initial record. Continua! effort is made to keep up with Jimmie Physically and otherwise. During all this time Jimmie and the other children sit at tables with the cottage mother, teacher or other grown person. There is no difference in the food supply to children and grown people. What is not good enough a member of the staff is not good enough for Jimmie. Then after he shall have finish- ed his course at the institution he wishes to go out and get a job, but he is not sent out to find his own job. There is offered again for the friendly hand of the trained | worker, What if Jimmie does not adjust himself to his new job jand finds it so distasteful that he can never be happy in it? The | Samy friendly, helping hand is jagain offered, for Jimmie must jbe got to the point where he can stand on his own feet unaided. He must be given assistance until he |can make the trip for himself. This sketch will indicate to you that your money has been spent jin a wise and worthy way. The |money that you have sent the Orphanage has been applied to the training of Jimmie during the years of his adolescent period, }only it is multiplied by 319 other | boys and girls. The work for chil- | superficial. Our Baptist people are trying to do a real job for Jimmie. They are applying _ intelligence and trained methods. Standards have been adopted such as are ap- proved in the child welfare field today. This great denominational enterprise is not a sideline or an afterthought in our program. We are trying to manage it in an ec- onomical way, but the per capita cost is not our first and main study. Jimmie and his’ welfare come first. Is he worth the money? Is it worth so much to give him preparation for life? If Jimmie were your boy you would certain- ly claim that he was worth it. —P. 0.

Mama Girt went on her vaca- {tion on May 2nd and returned the 22nd. She tells us she had a real nice time. While she was home her son, Murphy, was married to Miss Sarah Blackworth. She and her son, John, took a trip to Gun- |tersville, Ala., to visit her brother, |Rev. M. L. Harris. They want jvia Atlanta, Ga., spent a while by Asheville.

We enjoyed having her and hope she is having a nice time on her vacation now. Betty and Peggy Coffey had a visit from their mother on Mother’s Day. She brought them each a nice new doll and all of us | returned. some candy. We certainly ap- preciated it. Hannah Price’s Uncle’ Ralph and her mother both visited her this month. Fred Cole also had a visit from his mother. The Board of Regents came last month and brought us babies some toys. We now have a nice supply of cars and balls. The smallest of our family, Kathleen Monroe, was given a large doll which is almost as large as she. Back in the winter some kind friends sent us some swings. Mr. Nesbit has fixed them up for us and we’re having plenty of fun swinging in them. Margaret Moore, one of our large girls, is spending the sum- mer in Raleigh with her sister, Kathleen. Sarah Fort spent two weeks with her aunt and uncle in Reidsville. Cleo Sluder is taking Margaret’s place with us, and Martha Adams was with us until Sarah came back.

The new pipe from the well to the water tank will be laid in it. We've had quite a bit of rain lately. One day when it was rain- ing Bobby Allen asked Miss Stev- enson what made it thunder.

This is HC broadeast- ing. We are looking forward to our various vacations. One of our girls is going on June 1st. | Mr. Sams_ invited us to the |movies recently The name of the picture was, “Clive of India.” Needless to say, we enjoyed it very much, which is true of all ithe pictures to which we are in- vited. Mrs. Yates, of Asheboro, sent | 13 two pairs of socks apiece. They jare very pretty and we thank her for them. | We are all anxious to go in |swimming, and we can’t hardly wait until it gets warm enough. Some of them have been in the pool and possibly we might have |taken several dips by the time |you read this. Miss Carpenter took us and the Lees and Alexander Cottage boys ito play games on the _ football |field, and we had a good time. We jare having our Sunday vesper ervices at the football field, too. | Some of our girls are em- |broidering scarfs and some are {making appliqued counterpanes. | Several of our girls have been having trouble with poison oak, \but are getting better now. The ramblers on the fence are | beginning to bloom and are very ‘pretty. We were glad to see Mrs. Mc- Girt, the Baby Cottage matron, return from her vacation, but we |"njoyed having Miss Faye Stev- enson for our near neighbor while Mrs. McGirt was away.

Al- bemarle dropped back to third position, while Orange Presbytery skipped from fourth to second. Because of Orange’s advance, Kings Mountain was shoved back to fourth place. Mecklenburg held on to its rank of fifth position, while Gra‘nville dropped from sixth place to eighth. Wilmington was sixth at the end of April, but Winston- Salem came forward from the bottom berth last month to tie Wilmington for sixth at the end of May. ‘‘ayetteville Presbytery slipped a notch in May, for that Presbytery now occupies the bot- tom post instead of the eighth place last month. While these shiftings have been recosded, the rceord for al! Presbyteries is not impressive. Not a single one gave half as much as was needed during May, and the entire Synod averaged only 2.9 cents per member, when 10 cents was needed. For the first two months of 1935-1936 the meagre sum of 3.9 cents has been received at Barium, while the necessary amount for operation Am't Total Per Am’t Due Rec. Per Mem. for at This Mem.

In looking at the standing at the conclusion of May, 1934, there’s one remarkable and amaz- ing change in the listing of the Presbyseries. This applies to Orange Presbytery, which was at the tail-end a year ago, but nuw it is ranking second and lacks only six-tenths of a cent of being ;up with the leader. This great |difference is attributed to the ;many Sunday Schools that ‘Presbytery which have _ started |giving regularly in the past 14 ;months.

He weighs a little over | 80, but managed to be good enough | to make the 100-pound footbail | team. He is in the neighborhood | of 12 years of age. | On July 11 came _ Charle Thomas Smith from Lumberton. “Smythie Smith.” You have heard of young- | sters being adopted by individuals; | well, this lad had been adopted by | a hospital, and the doctors, the nurses, the neighborhood and the whole town treated that youngster as though he were their very own. They tell us that the traffic from iLLumberton to Barium Springs in- creased so much after this young | man’s arrival here that they had to change the set-up of the high- way patrolmen! It is bad enough when a person is orphaned from two parents. Little Charles Thom- as must have felt awfully bad to be orphaned from some 40 or 50 devoted parents. He has survived (Continued From Page Three) the shock and is getting along fine. On August 22nd, from Valdese arrived Eugene Bonnous. He was seven years old, and in spite of the tragedy which darkened his early life, he looks on the world as a mighty fine place in which to iive. He usually wears about a 40-watt smile which increases tu lu0-watt on the days that his 10.75 2.50 ; Alamance 15.00 | Albemarle Andersoh Ashwood, Special Regular Mother’s Day 5.00 Asheboro Bethel (M) 15.00 Bethesda (F) 0-00 Bethesda (O) 32.00 | Beulaville, April 15.00 Beulaville, May 0 Buffalo (L) Burlington Ist Burlington Ist, April & May Burlington 2nd Calypso Candor, April _- Chadbourn, Apri!

On November 11th, Virginia Presnell and Margaret Presnell /love with that little baby, sister, luhat they could not let her get out of the car. The wonder to us is how they ever let Louise and s.liy get out. They are a fine pair of youngsters. Billy, 12 years old, has just been promoted to the jeighth grade and is about the | smallest youngster in it. | On August 28th, Bill Tice from ;down Hamlet way, arrived. Bill | wears a pompadour—something like Jim Corbett. He may have ‘some other of Jim Corbett’s traits, for all we know. He is an up-and- |coming youngster, and it’s well not ‘to sleep too much around him, as it requires wide-wake attention for that youngster. On August 29th, Geraldine Blue arrived. You have heard of the St. Louis Blues. Well, these are the Greensboro Blues, and they have been dropping in on Barium in pairs and in singles until it is a right respectable sized family by this time. Geraldine has one of those permanent waves, which, as long as the present mode of hair- dressing stays in style, would be worth an easy thousand doliars tc any society lady! Geraldine will no doubt sell you hers for con- siderably less than that. On August 31st, from Charlotte, came Miss Myrtle Rushing who was just six years old, but has al- things with those big brown eyes ot hers that grown folks can’t do o | With their strength. She came, she saw, and commenced to conquer! On September 8th, there was a heavy shower of children. Anoth- er Blue arrived. It was Faye, this time, which completed the Blue family from Greensboro, and Earl and Bobby Allen. Bobby Allen i: 2% feet tall, and 1% feet wide and about a foot thick! He is a niniature of our doctor, and seems delighted that he resembles so fine a man. Earl, just two years older, smiles every time anybody says anything nice to Bobby, and this means that he smiles nearly all the time. He even smiled through a tonsil operation! Bobby is just three years old. About the youngest we have, but not the smallest. | On September 10th, the Turners arrived from down near Clinton. Their namesare Minnie, Baxter, and Anna. The section that they came from is not very heavily populated. It took them some time to get used to the big crowd here, but they made a thorough job of getting used to it. They are thor- | cughly at home now and are about to outgrow themselves. On October 22nd, there was a shower of Prices—not high-prices or low-prices, or cut-prices, but Helen, Mott, Martha and Hannah; three girls and a boy. White hair, brown hair and red hair, and a liberal mixture of freckles just to make it a delightful family. This family came from Union County. The day after the Prices arriv- ed, Mary Louise Johnston and Elizabeth Johnston came from Tarboro. Elizabeth Johnston, four years old, was just about the age ready discovered that she can do. arrived from Lenoir and the Little Price and the Little Johnston did jsuch a good job of entertaining | the little Presnells that they for- got to be homesick at all. On the 8th, Dorris Rippy arrived from Shelby. She was larger than |the girls usually are when they enter. Not much larger, but the /way that girl has grown since en- |tering makes her look like she | was ready to graduate. On January 22nd, Wootson and Esau Davis arrived from Aber- deen. Two things distinguish these youngsters—their black hair and their smiling faces. They made friends with everybody they came in contact with, and have to be seen every day to be recognized. They are growing so fast that if you miss seeing them for a week, you are liable to think they are somebody else. On January 8th, three little Monroe girls came from near Camp Bragg. Their names are Dudley, Mildred and Kathleen, but they came from such a large family that nobody could take time to pronounce a two-syllable name, so they are known as “Dud” “Bill” and “Kat.” They are ex- pecting an older brother and sister to arrive in a few weeks, and then they will be one of the largest families at Barium. The last arrival was on Feb- ruary 20th. Gene Love from down in Stanley County was the party. This lad was five years old, hadn’t. been used to seeing very many people and was very much out of place for a few days until he got used to being with this many young people. The other children worried him just like he was an old man. That’s all a thing of the past now. The arrival of a new child at Barium is an_ interesting event. We won’t say it is a “blessed event” because there is always coupled to it a tragedy; but when they do. come, all the children are interest- ed. Here is a new brother or sister to be part of the school group,. the work groups, the play groups,. the teams, and everybody is_ in- terested in just what sort of a youngster this is. The chances are this little new-comer is going to be homesick for a day or two, and. that is easily understood by all the other young people here be- cause they have passed through that same experience. Many things are done quietly without any sug- gestion from older people, to: make a new-comer’s entry happy,. and it is a delight to see the dis- tress, which may be in the young jchild’s face, disappear after a |few days or weeks in this delight- |ful atmosphere. | As a rule, many more children | eee during the summer than |during the winter. Right now we jare looking forward to quite a ‘number within the next 30 days. We hope it will be possible from time to time to publish group pictures of the new-comers so |that you can continue to be ac- |quainted with not only the out- going members of this family,. Charlotte. After overcoming 2 jof Hannah Price.

Five of the Presbyteries, Con- cord, Kings Mountain, Orange and Wilmington, showed gains in per capita Sunday School averages, while the others fell behind the average at the close of the 1934- 1935 year.

The farm supplies the dairy with the necessary hay for rough feeding, straw for bedding, ensilage, and a good pari of the grain. The grain is ground up with cottonseed meal, wheat bran and other ingredients to make a balanced ration suitable for the particular time of year and the flow of milk. The needs of the dairy vary from year to year and the production cf the farm varies. Se that there are some years in which the extra aan R. E. JACKINS, Head of Dairy large crops from the farm more than supply the dairy needs. There are other years of drought or storm when the production of the farm does not meet the dairy needs. In order to keep this from embarrassing us we try te store the surplus of the fat years to take care of the lean years. The year 1935 was a fairly tat year; 1934 was also one in which a surplus was laid by. This resulted in scme 80 tons of the very choicest alfalfa hay being baled and stored away in a barn as a surplus to draw on in case of a shortage; and this was the hay that was burnt in the fire that we had last September. Now, 1936 looks like it is going to be a rather bad year. Our first cutting «f alfalfa was extremely short and the second cutting, so far, hasn’t developed, as it has not rained at Barium Springs since the first cutting. How- ever, we don’t want to talk about this in this article, as we are talk- ing about the dairy. The fire that we have mentioned destroyed the milk barn «f the dairy. It seems a miracle that it did not destroy two other barns, but the efficient fire fighting of the local folk and the Statesville fire department cenfined it to one barn In rebuilding this barn, we added some improvements that were very much needed. {This old barn had been in use over 20 years) and new the milk is handled at this new barn, and is ready for the table immediately after milking. address came and were installed th Let us describe the old method of handling the milk and the sending you $ ..... 4S a Memorial gift to the deceased. printing office foree worked |} new: The old method: The milk was milked into 5-gallon cans at the barn.

MILK — MEAT — MELODY (Continued From Page One) to drink it, even if it were not so good for you. The schedule of the dairy crew is as follows: Up in the merning with the regular crowd and finishing break fast at 6:45. The cows are already in the barn; ready to be milked School commences at 8:30. Between 6:45 and 8:30, 50 cows have to 'e milked. This milk has to be taken care of, utensils clerned up, the cows put back in the feed barn, or the pasture (depending on th time of year), and a little cleaning up done arcund the barn.

The new comer » dairy group are clean-up and feed-up boys. Their work | is sometimes a little dirty and sometimes a_ little dusty. The. gradually learn to milk and then they become milkers. As they be- come more and more efficent in milking, they become strippers; an the strippers check up on the milkers, When they become more careful and proficient they become milk house boys-—the ones who teke charge of the milk, see that it is weighed up, properly strained, aerated, put into cans and delivered to | the dining reom or cold storage, as the case may be. This is a very responsible job and a boy who is careless in this particular division cf the work, soon finds himself back among the milkers or as a clean-up boy. There are about 40 boys in the dairy group, 10 to 16 years old. When that many beys get under one roci and ail get to talking, they keep the atmosphere pretty well agitated. We don’t know whethe this has any effect on the cows or not, but we have cur suspicions. Anyway, someone suggested that cows were supposed to give more milk to music than without music; so a victrola was installed and there was quite a difference in the amount «f m/Ik produced. And something thay was not looked for, the dairy boss fattened up! And gct over his hoarseness! You can draw your own conclusions as t how this music affected the dairy group. The boys who work in t! dairv are very much attached to the cows that they have as their responsibility and take a lively interest in the calves as they come along. Several year ago a calf was born that was too small to reach its dining room table The boys had to hold it on their laps while it got it ourishment irom its mcther. The calf was so grateful for this that it did not seem to recognize its mother as a source of nourish ment at all, and would pay no attention to her at all when she wa near it. But the calf would run after the boys and baw! and take cn at a terrible rate until they picked it up and carried it to its mother for its morning or afternocn meal. “Onions in the milk!” Did you ever hear that in the spring o! the year? Well, we have plenty cf wild onions in our pastures. The onion taste used to get into the milk, but not now. Just a boy’s idea, but it worked. This boy may have gotien the idea from his own ex perience some day when he arrived at the dining room late and found that all cf a particular article had been eaten up before he got theve. His idea was just this: Turn the dry cows in the pasture for about 2 week before the milk cows go. They all like those onions better than anything in the pasture and by the time the milk cows get there, there’s not enough onions left for them to even taint the milk. That is the plan we have used since this bcy had that idea and we have! not been bothered by onions in the milk. The pastures that our flocks use in the summer are rather ex- tensive. There is one that is called the “five-mile” pasture. That’s the distance around the fence; and you can depend on a hungry cow locating a weak place in that fence very promptly. | There are times when our pasture gets short, due to dry weather; | it is then that these weak points are often located and the cow that | goes through evidently says: “Come on, girls, let’s go picnicking!” | That’s when we hear frantic calls from some neighbor that an avalanche | of cattle is bearing down on their roasting-ear patch or something. And that calls for just as strenuous acticn as a fire! If left unnoticed it is as disastrous as a fire; and the dairy crew have to be organized | to answer these calls on a moment’s notice. The big milking job is not a hard jdb. In fact, during threshing time, the dairy boys are through with their work long befcre the farm boys are thinking of getting through.

By J. B. A. in Cincinnati (Ohio) Children’s Record: ‘| According to Bulletin No. 424, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion, it costs the State of Ohio 57 keep a cow. In lestimating the cost of one day of Bossy’s pilgrimage through life, the amounts paid for food, bed- ding, veterinary care, ordinary labor, barn, equipment, interest, taxes, and depreciation are includ- | ed. One of my relatives who care- fully keeps a record of farm costs writes me that the daily outlay for keeping a horse in good con- ' dition is 56 cents. A horse menu includes oats, corn, wheat bran, | gluten feed, linseed oil meal, cot- ;ton seed oil meal, timothy hay, lalfalfa, mixed ciover hay, salt ieorn stover, and water. It costs a careful farmer $75.00 a year in labor to keep his horse looking well. To the actual cost of food and labor must be added interest, taxes, and depreciation charges on buildings and animals. The daily cost of keeping a cow is 57 cents a day. The daily ex- pense of caring for a horse is 56 cents. After ten years, a cow is yet a cow and horse is still a horse. It costs The Children’s Home 99 cents a day to keep a child in a boarding home. This baby boy must be taught to walk, to use his mother tongue, to wash and bathe, to dress himself, to eat the proper foods, and to protect him- self against cold, fire, disease, and the danger of highways and heights.

This comes ‘through the type of people who ‘direct the orphanage’s activities. tated that there) were quite a number cf children) The Children’s Home workers, assembled at a recent meting for discussing policy and procedure, were asked whether or not our jinstitution had any distinguishing 1e orphanage was | be a good plan for his county to! establish an orphanage. He argued that this could readily be done, that what was necessary was to get an appropriation, build a house where children, denied a home elsewhere, would be placed, | give them something to eat and| tO wear, and provide an opportun- ity for them to work and to go to school]. The proposition seemed very simple. The orphanage has never been established It takes a lot of money to secure a suitable orphanage plant. A re- cent audit shows that the Chil- dren’s Home has invested $282,415 in grounds and farms. It has in- vested $509,358 in buildings. The audit further shows that we have $43,696 invested in machinery and equipment and $57,780 in furniture anc fixtures. It is evident from the foregoing that an investment of $893,249 has been made in what is known as permanent funds at the Children’s Home. By far the greater portion of this money has come to us in the form of | special donations, over and above | the usual sources of income for maintenance and up-keep. It has taken a great deal of money to establish the plant here at the Children’s Home. Endowment funds are not included in the above list- ed permanent assets. After an orphanage is built it takes quite a long time for a prop- er spirit to be developed. Children of varied temperaments and gifts and gathered from various areas cannot come into a new situation characteristics. The particular question propounded was, “Does the Children’s Home have an out- standing tone?” There was some hesitancy about answering. Of course, everyone present thought that the Children’s Home was second to none in the work it was doing for orphan children, yet there was some hesitancy in pre- senting an outstanding citation. With the children there is something about our ing,titution which they call “the Children’s Home spirit” that challenges their very best efforts. When verything else has failed to make an impression on a youngster he can usually be reached by a challenge to uphold the spirit of | the Children’s Home. This spirit | calls for fair play, honest dealing, straightforward action and worthwhileness that commends itself to supporting friends. Our children feel that the Children’s Home is decidedly good, that it stands for the very best in human values. The Children’s Home song, sung 8S frequently by our young- sters, ends in this wise, “For I am proud of the Children’s Home, and I’ll make her proud of me!” An orphanage can’t be built in a day. It can’t be built in a year. When it has been built, time is needed to practice through pro- cesses of human endeavor the securing of a spirit which is con- ducive to proper attitudes and desirable cdnduct. Of course health safeguards, educational fa- cilities, work schedules and a lot of other things enter into the mak- ing of a home for children, but the tone of the place wil! direct to a should be sought with deathless devotion. Through childhood and youth he must have assistance in learning to speak the truth, to be just, to be friendly and humane. It is a long, rough road from in- nocent babyhood to wise citizen- ship in our perplexed world. The Children’s Home _ believes that our baby grown to manhood is not only a citizen of the world but also a resident of the universe. He is not only a child of Time; he is a son of eternity. He must not only love the odor of flowers and the song of birds. Also should he wonder at sunrises and blow before the majesty of stars. He must feel the exultant throb of new life in recognizing that he is one of the beloved sons of his Heavenly Father. It costs 57 cents a day to keep a cow. For a few years the cow remains a cow and then is ne more. It costs 56 cents a day to pro- vide properly for a horse. After some brief years of usefulness, a horse perishes and is forgotten. It costs 99 cents per day to rear a boy. By and by this boy becomes a man. He participates in the social heritage of all preced- ing generations. In his turn he maintains and increases the human values won through tens of thousands of years of toil and sacrifice. He knows the meaning of love, truth, honor, and loyalty. He comes to believe that the uni- verse is his home and that the Eternal God claims him as His son. For such a boy and man Death is the beginning of new life. ‘APRIL AND MAY IGOME In the first two month of 1936- ' 1937, a total cf $3,173.59 has been | received from the Synod of North Carolina.

Wilmington Presbytery contributes the small est amount for each child at the | Orphanage from the Presbytery, | and it likewise ranks ninth in the jot giving to the Orphanage by the per capita giving from that Pres- bytery.

Meals If Sunday Schools give during the next 10 months as they gave in April and May, and show a pre- portionate increase, then such | organizations will contribute al- | most $2,000.00 more to Barium than was sent regularly to the Orphanage during 1935-1936. That is based on the eed of a two- month increase of $385.04. The gifts were individually and ccllec- tively better than for the same months of 1935. Between eight and nine cents is the cost of a meal per child at Ba- rium, but for the sake of easy figuring ten cents per meal is vsed. On that score, the Sunday School gifts would lave served the following number of meals for the past three years: Month "34-"35 *"35-"36 *36-'37 April 6,218 4,840 8,589 May 10,659 10,948 11,049 June 9,501 13,178 ?

To get into this classification, Rocky River sent $50.00 as its | final gift instead of the usual | $25.00. In 11 months Graves Mem- orial had sent $65.03, but that Sunday School sent $34.97 for | March to reach that grouping. Reidsville had sent $82.10 for 11} months, but sent a_ check for $25.00 for March for the honor of being thus classified. Bethesda |(F), Mooresville First, Warrent«n, and Thyatira all sent substantial $100.00 class. And, when _ the March gifts of every Sunday School are compared with the Offerings of other months it is seen that at least 60% of them send the best monthly Offering in March to close out a great year | Sunday Schools. As previously stated in these contributing as much as $100.00 regularly is not the true of membership re- regularly have a much 53 Sunday Schools accomplishing However, considerable in- | terest has been developed among many of the Sunday Schools in their efforts to reach the $100.00 classification, and this list is will inspire others. At least a half-dozen additional Sunday Schools are already “gun- ning” for the $100.00 grouping and it is hoped that those which “fell from the ranks” during the year just ly to Barium. Concord First Sunday School leads all others with a_ total of $726.33. Winston-Salem First was the leader in 1934-1935. Salisbury First forged ahead also to send Winston-Salem to third position. The five which had to be dropped from the list were Wilson First, Huntersville, Church of the Coven- ant in Greensboro, Spray and Mocksville.

So, any- aware of the fact that some others |to our orphanage work. time you want to make a donation have taken the attitude of the! “We do thank you for such| nq do not care for the public to which we feel is worthy of delib- | erative thinking. As a matter of fact, the dictates of our conscience impell us to give vent to some thought in the sincere and earnest hope that the printing of this ar- ticle might rectify wrongs that are being wrought in some of our Churches. As you have surmised, the trend of our thinking deals with the word “Honesty”. Frankly, we have but a single definition for honesty, but it is apparent that there are some people who place their own shades of meaning upon that word. We are in hearty agreement with Webster that honesty is “upright- ness of conduct”. Unfortunately, our dealings in the course of a year’s time often- times result in the involunterily uncovering of dishonest treasurers - treasurers who actually pocket church money for their own per- sonal uses. During 1938-1939, three such instances were discovered. However, these instances did not actuate this editorial. Here is the situtation which was discover- ed in one Church. A certain Bible Class is ostensibly taking offerings for this Home on one Sunday each month, Every member of that Class - no, we retract that by say- ing that practically every member - was under the impression that that particular Sunday’s offering was going to Barium Springs. This Class ordinarily has a response of several dollars, but when they felt that the money was going spe- cifically to this Home the men “shelled out” and more than dou- bled the usual offerings. But, it developed that the gift is not forwarded to Barium Springs. When we made a checkup the person responsible for hand- ling these funds tell us that “it had been suggested by the pastor” to withhold that money. The treas- urer of the clnss also went on to say that “it will not be revealed to the Class that the money is not coming to Barium Springs.” the reason being advanced was that so much more is given when the men think that the money is being for- warded to Barium Springs that they would cut down on their re- sponses and thus not have as much in the treasury at the end. ef the year. We immediately told that indi- vidual that we were glad that we! were not occupying his shoes, that | we felt that the members of that vrouv would be incensed when it was learned that the money that they had given expressly for Ba- rium Springs had been diverted to other uses, where it has been with- held from the Class that the mon- ev is not being forwarded to this Home. Those men are making their monthly offerings thinking that the larger sums donated are nidine us financially, whereas the only part Barium Springs is re-| ceiving is perhaps the 742% ap- propriation at the end of the year. | A friend of the Orphanage died recently and stipulated that a $5,000.00 sum in his will was to be analogous to this? This is not the first instance of lthis nature that has come to our attention. Some years ago a Sunday School decided to devote one offering per month to Barium Springs. The offering was $5.00, but the liberality of the people igrew and grew and this advanced to $25.00 on the Barium Sundays. In the meantime, the regular of- ferings had advanced to $15.00 each Sunday. |was decided to send only $5.00 to ithis Home, retaining the other | $20.00 for local uses. Yet, the do- nors of these sums were never In- formed of the procedure, and Sun- |day School officials also lost sight ‘of the fact that while the Barium Springs Offering was advancing \to $25.00 a month that the other \offerings were correspondingly in- | creasing. y : | Apparently, from the situation ‘that has been outlined, there are (various degrees of honesty, 80 pos- sibly it is felt that they are doing perfectly all right in withholding these funds from Barium Springs. Personally, we cannot see it that |way, and if the money involved lwas intended for Foreign Missions, Home Missions, or any other Church Cause we would feel sim- lilarly. | In the course of a year’s time Barium Springs receives approx- imately $8,000.00 in miscellaneous gifts forwarded to this Home. We absolutely know that some of these people send this money to Barium Springs simply and solely because they have had the experience that when funds were especially desig- nated for this Home that the Church considered these as a part of the benevolent budget and de- | ducted these when a_ distribution was made, Some people are very anxious for Barium Springs to re- ceive the gifts that are labeled for | the Home. without affecting the normal budget apportionment. They have found that this did not work out as intended, and have conse- quently forwarded sums direct to us, many of them specifically stating that the gifts are not to be credited to the Church with which they are affiliated. What do you thing of the above situation? Maybe we are biased in our opinion, but for the life of us we cannot associate that practice |with the true definition of “up- | rightness of conduct”. | —P. 0. H.— WHAT DO YOU THINK? This editorial is in reality a part of that which has been headed “Honesty” because the statement of the pastor in that article has al- so actuated the query that has been propounded as the heading for the thoughts which are to fol- low. At the same time that the pas- tor, who “suggested” that the Sunday School Treasurer in the “Honesty” editorial withhold the forwarding of these sums to Ba- rium Springs, the pastor also minister under discussion, If this ‘liberal, unselfish contributions. It was felt by the| Church that $25.00 was too much | to send to Barium Springs so it) persists, the indebtedness of the Home may not climb up to $100,- 000.00 in a period of five years, but it could advance to that figure | over a period of a good many years. It is understood that a promi- nent leader in one of the Church causes has frequently made the claim that “One of the best assets ef 32 is its indebtedness”. In other words, the inference was that that particular cause, or any Church cause for that matter, had a stronger appeal when a larger. |indebtedness hovered over it thar /it would have had otherwise. We are in violent disagreement with that view. Our contention is that \if a cause cannot appeal upon the basis of the effectiveness of its |own work, then is has no appeal jat all. " When this Home aggressively launched forth a few years ago to \rid itself of the cumbersome ob- ‘ligation of a tremendous indebted- ness, it was recognized that there were two separate schools of thought. One section advanced the belief that if the Orphanage was out of debt that the people would stop giving to it; the other group maintained that if this Home was free of obligations that there would be such a feeling of thanks- giving in the hearts of the people everywhere that the liberality would continue on the same plane. The latter groun did recognize the fact, though, that a few people might withhold their gifts, feeling that some other cause was in more desperate need. On the other hand. this group felt that the people who thought seriously about the mat- ter would want to place their mon- ey in a “going” cause - one that lived within its budget and stayed free of encumbrances, insofar as humanly possible. The attitude of the minister un- der discussion substantiates the contention of the first group, but it is happily revealed that there are strong advocates for the other side. Recently an individual of means was quoted as saying that \“We feel so much better since the Orphanage is ovt of debt” and we somehow fee] that this particular person was voicing the feeling of /many thousands of other people in ‘the Synod. | Presbyterians can know definite- ly that all that is given to Barium Springs nowadays is going into |the lives of these children. The ‘contrary was true a few years ago. It is recalled that the Home had! to spend more than $20,000.00 in a span of five years in interest obligations, and this was money } |that was acutely needed to keep | | the physical plant in an A-1 con-| dition and to do a better work in | the training of the lives entrusted ;te the care of this Home. | For the information of friends, ' ;a total of $5.68 was spent in in- 'terest last year, which was an in- | \finitesimal part of the total con- | tributed by the Synod of North “Nahalah Sunday School. “By Florence Purvis.” ot ae re friends, who did not reveal their \identities to Orphanage officials, sent $20.00 and $30.00, respective- ly, to Barium Springs, We wish we knew who these friends were, ‘simply and solely because of the happy privilege that would be ours in writing and voicing our grati- tude. Through the columns of The Messenger is the only way that we can voice our thankfulness, but Barium Springs are helpless to avoid an indebtedness when the money received was not sufficient- ly large to take care of the mini- mum requirements. In those years of the depression era, and in the years following when the Home was lifting itself from the financial morass and muck and mire into which is was invol- untarily plunged during the de- pression, the physical plant of the Home was woefully and sadly neg- lected. That interest money, in a period of seven or eight years. | would have amply provided for an up-to-the-minute repair to the buildings here, and the Home would never have curtailed its ,effectiveness in training the chii- dren, said curtailment of service |occurring when a number of de- |partments had to be eliminated.

There is a build- ing at Barium Springs of which ‘nobody is proud and which brings | tears to the eyes of many, many ipeople who visit the structure. It is called Alexander Home, but a: a home it is a misnomer. It is a misnomer because the !Alexander Building, which wa given by loyal friends for a par- ‘ticular purpose, is not a dormitory. \It was orginally intended as a place for wood-work and _ print- ing shops.

Two friends jin the Brittain Sunday School for- warded 50 cents each as_ their |Thanksgiving Offerings. These reached Barium Springs the later part of May. Officials here would have no objections if other peo- ple wanted to make Thanksgiving Offerings ahead of time. They can always be recorded as such. How wonderful it would be if the’ en- ire Thanksgiving Offering of ap- yroximately $44,000.00 could be dis- jtributed over a 12-month period! cs eee: | “T owe humanity a debt and |have tried to pay it off at Barium Springs. The money I’ve invested there over twenty-three years has |paid more than six per cent. I wish that it might have been more and rejoice to see the fine work done there.” | The above is a quotation from a \letter received at Barium Springs recently. It is being recorded in The Messenger, for we think it is a splendid thought and indicates thankfulness in the heart of an individual, who has been endeav- coring to repay to society the debt that is felt in that particular per- son’s heart. aca atecins This recalls to mind the receipt of gifts a few years ago from a family whose child had been re- stored to them from the brink of death, They were so thankful that they wanted to make a “thank” cffering and selected Barium Springs to be the recipient becauso this was a Home taking care of children. How easy it is to forget reasons for thankfulness and ac- cept many blessings as a matter of course. An inventory of the good things of life that are ours would result in “thank” offerings made uninterruptedly. “You will find enclosed $3.00, $1.00 each being contributed by sebelah eee We formerly sent our monthly contributions through Pispedialpneniacdne clea! , but as they have discontinued this offering. we de- cided to forward it direct.

Later on, they are moved up into another compartment where they begin to take cn a little more dignity and are less noisy, although just as greedy. Later on they go into still another compartment where their dignity becomes somewhat | ponderous. And then after a final three weeks in the Senior compart- | ment, they are graduated some frosty morning with appropriate cere- monies. Pigs are about the only things on the place that do not become pets. The calves, lambs and colts all become such members of the family that any parting has something of the same grief that we have whena member of the family leaves us. The bees and the pigs are the only things that do not come in for this wholesale petting. This hasn’t anything to do with the farm particularly, but during the course of a year there are usually something like 20 stray dogs that take up their residence here. We suppose that if dogs were run- ning an Orphanage, there would be about that many little stray boys that would stop in and make their homes with the dogs. Somehow boys and dogs just will get together. Along about the time when tax- paying commences, we have to get rid of all these dogs, but by that same time next year, our dog population is right up to normal again. A description of an enterprise like our farm may be dry reading to anyone who is not particularly interested in that sort of thing. If we could draw a picture of the development of some of the ideas that are now in existence on the farm, it would be intensely interesting to everyone. A different outlook altogether from what it was at one time. A number of years ago, the boys looked on the farm as simply a place to suffer. They had to put in a certain amount of time as a kind of penance. The value of their work did not appear in any tan- gible way. It did not seem to make any difference to them whether ° they did effective work or whether they just put in time. The mules on the place seemed to have that same notion, and were not inclined to step out and really get anything done. A reluc- tant mule and a careless boy didn’t add up to much in the way of real production. For the last few years, however, the idea has been entirely dif- ferent. The old mules have been traded off for some real animals. Dignified animals! Did you ever see a dignified mule? Well, if you haven’t, come to Barium. Big, handsome animals that you would be proud to walk behind. They are used to doing a day’s work, and a boy is rather keen for the opportunity to work one of them. It is a big. promotion from being just a hoe hand. It is a bigger promotion to| drive a team of these mules. | The fields have been cleared of stumps and gullies and thoroughly | terraced and the crops are something that you would like to show | your friends. Especially if you have had a hand in producing those} crops. All of which might have had something to do with the change | in attitude of the boys that work on the farm. They do not any longer | look on it as the “chain gang’’, but as the top department. They em to get a lot of satisfaction out of doing a big job well. There are a lot of other things beside just satisfaction. You may | get the idea by the names that are some times given to the different | fields. Of course, the cornfield is the “Corn Bread”; the wheat field | would naturally be the “Biscuit Pasture”; the alfalfa field is the “Ice Cream Pasture”, because everybody has noticed that since the produc- tion of alfalfa has increased, that there has been more frequent ice | cream meals in the dining room. The boys gave the alfalfa field the name of “Ice Cream Pasture” a good many years ago, and it means something. And you know scrub-farmers can’t raise alfalfa. You have to know your stuff and keep working at it, to raise that king of all | the crops for this section of the country. If you stayed with us long, we would have to introduce you to the mules on the farm. They are real members of the family. There is Mabel and Cordy, Nell and Beulah, Red and Blue, Bob and Dobbin. We would like to introduce you to some of the men who work here. ' They become so attached to the mules sometimes that strange things | happen. The faithful colored men who have worked on the farm are . Bob and Ebb and Tom and Abner. They drive the teams during the winter when the boys are in school. They are mighty good folks— these colored men. They are mighty polite to everybody, provided you don’t criticize their teams, then they are apt to get impatient, | and might say something that you won’t like. In the mind of each} of each of these men, the particular team that he claims as his own| land, as producing as its most valuable output—a crop of men. | various , number of letters received at | ways cordially welcomed at THE BARIUM MESSENGER ODDS AND ENDS (Continued From Page One) increase over the same month’s Offering of 1935-1936, cr to show quarterly increases. We're happy to say that a great many of the Sunday Schools met this challens in the first quarter. You’d be surprised at the savings enacted at the Orphanage because many friends and treasurers of organizations have sa‘d that no receipts are necessary for | their gifts, or that a postal card acknewledgment will suffice. There are 52 direct donors or treasurers which have said that no receipts were necessary, and 58 which said that a postal card is all that needed. We have noticed a difference in the number of velopes that are used. big en- annually at Barium by the various departments. By the way, this isn’t an expense that is incurred in a private home, but it a necessary outlay in the operation of the Orphanage. is Have yeu noticed the increased number of people sending mem- orial sums to the Orphanage in lieu of flowers for the funera’s of friends? The idea is spreading by leaps and bcunds. In the first quarter of 1936-1937, a total of $126.50 was received at the Or- phanage, and $53.00 of that emount was received in June. Dur- ing all of last year $546.10 came to Barium in such contributions. The following extract typical of Ba- rium and expresses the feeling of living members of the deceased who was paid tribute when a sum was sent to the Orphanage: “My brother and I deeply appreciate your letter of sympathy and also the gifts in memory of our mother. We feel it is such a lovely idea and we wish there had been mcre such gifts.” is In the first quarter $16.00 was received at Barium toward the cost of publishing and issuing 22,000 copies of The Messenger 12 times a year. It is encouraging that these friends expressed their grateful- ness for the paper in such a con- crete and helpful manner. Watch The Barium Messenger in August for preliminary details about the meeting of the Synod of North rolina, which will be en- tertained jointly by the Orphanage and Mitchell College in September. Full details will be given about registration, program, etc., at that time. Fifteen to 20 delegations are visiting the Orphanage every month this summer. They are al- Ba- rium. We hope that other groups will come.

Here’s why: During the past winter, we had the misfortune to lose one of ithful colored men—Abner. He had been with us for a number ars. His team was the big white mules that he claimed could just outdo any other team anywhere. Abner was sick for abcut two our fe of ye weeks and then died, and another \ good man; but the mule that was old Abner’s favorite—-Cordy sick. The Veterinarian could not find anything the matter with her, but she just couldn’t eat, and she commenced to take any real interest in things again. The other men say that she was grieving for Abner. You might laugh about that. We who knew Abner and something of the affections he had for his team, do not laugh about it. Mr. B. S. Linville has charge of the farm at this time. He is a graduate of State College and taught Agriculture at the Troutman School before taking on this work. and the beautiful terraces that you can observe in rium are largely his work. He did rium, while he was our neighbor at Troutman.

Truck Farm and the Orchards, on the Dairy or wherever, usually wind up for a year or two on the farm. They do hard work there. They produce a big part of our living, and the farm in turn does a lot for them. It was discovered a good many years ago that the farm boys seem to excell most in athletic events. on the farm, they seem to go places on the football field. They seem to go places in their work after finishing here, too. They make good! hard-working citizens.

We also have new bleachers to go with it We have two of the finest looking colts in the country. They are about three months old. Our crop of hogs is looking pretty good at this time, and by hog killing time we should have a pretty nice bunch to put in the meat house. We have recently cleaned up the campus. The rose bushes along the fence have been clean- ed up and they look much nicer. Our alfalfa crop hasn’t been up to par this summer. We have got only one cutting and it wasn’t so good. It is about ready to cut now and I think we will get a_ better crop this time. Our sheep are in the best of shape.

They were thought good enough to have their picture taken the same as the beautiful dolls that were on exhibition. We were glad to see the rain; it helped a lot on the farm, but what we liked best, we did not have to water the flowers for several days. We have had so_ few sick this summer that we have aimost for- gotten that we are an Infirmary. There are just enough coming in to help us to remember that we are, but nothing worse than too many green apples and blackber- ries. Linda Cuip’s brother and aunt called to see her Sunday afternoon. They drove up to see how Linda enjoyed her ten day stay at the Davidson Conference, and found that she thought they were the Burlington lst 1934-1935 Surlington 2nd 1934-1935 Chapel Hill 1925-1928 Cross Roads 1927-1925 High Point First 1930-1931 ted House 1934-1935 Stoneville 1933-1934 Yanceyville 1934-1935 Wilmington Ashwood 1934-1935 Baker’s 1934-1935 Beulaville ...... 1934-1935 Bladenboro 1934-1935 Chadbourn . 1934-1935 Elizabethtown 1930-1931 George Webb Mem.

We are having our bathrooms built over. We will be glad when they have finished with them. Is everyone enjoying swimming as much as we are? Not many of us go in, but those that do don’t seem to mind getting their hair wet, so that the curls come out. We have some new girls over here.

Meals | Organizations Aiding July 1936 During June, $1,469.37 was r¢ ceived from the Sunday School in the Synod of North Carolina giving them a grand total of $3,- 435.21 to date. This is an increase of $536.61 for the initial three months of the current year. For each consecutive month of April, May and June the total received | from the Sunday Schools has been better than the aggregate of the| corresponding pericd of! a year ago. This substantial increase in the Sunday School report is due to several factors. In the first place, more Sunday Schools are helping regularly; secondly, mest of the Sunday Schcol Offerings are con- siderably better than those of the corresponding period of a year ago; in the third place, there is no epi- demic of infantile paralysis, as was true a year ago, and a_ tourth reason is that more treasurers are reporting every month. It is estimated that the Orphan- age would have received between six and seven hundred more dollars from the Sunday Schools in the 1955-1936 fiscal period had it not been for paralysis, which ciosed some Sunday Schools entirely ana limited attendances at those which remained cpen. The hope here is that there will be no epidemic. Food costs at the Orphanage vary from year to year. Because of higher costs of production, the food served at Barium during the 1935 calender year averaged 9.2 cents per meal per child. In giving the following three-year compara- tive tabulation, the figure of ten cents per meal is used, because it can be figured so much more recurring easily: Month "34-"35 °35-°36 °36-'37 April 6,218 4,840 8,589 May 10,659 10,948 11,049 June 9,501 13,178 14,694 July 12,753 13,664 ?

H.— “Tell me what you eat,” said a soda fountain philosopher in a loud voice, “and V’ll tell you what you are.” “Countermand my order for shrimp salad,” piped up a little) man a few seats down. Of the 36,200.46 received at the Orphanage during the initial quar- ter of 1935-1936, 55.4% has been contributed by the Sunday Schools; 27.7% through church budgets, and 16.9% through the Auxiliaries. The actual money contributed has been Sunday Schools, $3,433.21; Church budgets, $1,714.71; Auxiliaries, $1,- 650.08, and Young Peoples’ Socie- ties, $2.46. Mecklenburg leads in giving | through the church budgets; Con- cord Presbytery has top honors in Sunday School giving, and Orange Presbytery is at the pinnacle in contributions received through the Auxiliaries. Running second in the respective fields are Cencord, Orange and Albemarle Presbyter- ies. Receipts for the three months are shown below, according to the three main sources in each of the nine Presbyteries: ca. ~ 8.8, Albemarle $116.04 $198.25 $1 Concord 30148 71027 1 Fayetteville Granville 10: Kings Mtn. 125.05 Meck!onburg 454.62 Orange 180.21 Wilmington 182.99 W.-Salem 208.91 Totals $1714.71 $3433.21 $1050.08 P, 0.

PEACHES — PEARS — PECANS (Continued From Page One) here at Barium. It has been amply demonstrated that a diet of fruit does more to keep this large family of children in good shape than any other one thing. Since we have set cut our new orchard of apples, we have made > the old apple orchard a “Help-Yourself-Orchard _and here is some- thing surprising: Now, any child any time can go in that orchard and get himself or herself an apple. They can eat it green or wait unt: i ne. There are a good many trees there. We just don’t count in as an output cf the Orphanage. They belong absolutely ungsters when they want to use the fruit. iw before we made this a “Help-Yourself-Orchard” the most reyv seldom resulted in apples being on those trees s 1 the fi first of Octcber! You tell us how come? We can not quit that cut. Ve have two pecan groves. And to match that, over across the hills. about 50 wainut trees. Walnuts are help-yourself. The pecans are gathered by the orchard crew and distributed to the cottages; and you will locate some of those in the homemade candy that is dis- tributed so liberally among the cottages at Christmas time. The squirrels that now inhabit the campus have not quite learned the distinction about these help-yourself-crchards. They raid the pecan orchards just the same as though it were help-yourself. We don't nt te take drastic measures about this, because we eno} hav- ng t xe campus so much that we are inclined to make r case. the step-children of the place. Very little i done toward cultivating them. or pruning them or spraying them: and vet vear after year, these faithful trees bear abundant crops. We can } rs usually as long as the cans hold cut. This fruit is not nearly as popular as the peaches and other things, but he!p us taper off a seascn squirrels on ] an exception in the 1 he pear trees and gives us a bigger variety. g The raspberries which we have been enjeying for the last two years are a new venture. We have the large red raspberries, and it was some time befere the children really thought they w good, but lon’t have to argue now about it. They follow the strawberries 1ost valuable addition to our menu. We spoke of the orchards as being somewhat like an army. Well, it requires an army and real battle tactics to keep that orchard pro- ducing. We buy no commercial fertilizer fcr our big orchard. We 1at a liberal application of stable manure every other year applied during » winter and plowed under in the spring, gives the best results. We have to buy a tremendous lot of chemicals, however. There are the aphids which seem to like everything but tobacco dust. get tobacco dust to exterminate them. Then there are the borers that have to have a chemical that woul? take up too much space to name, even if we knew how to spell it, to get rid cf them. Then there is a dormant spray for treating the trees and the sulphur spray, for the fruit disease, and so forth, that have to be religiously applied to the trees. Then, when the peaches start to grow, the trees have to be beaten with a rubber hammer to knock off all the fruit that is not tirmly attached to the trees. We find that this fruit usually has worms in it. By taking these peaches that are knocked off and burning them, ot burying them in lime, we destroy that infant curculio and save a second generaticn that pretty well destroys a crep. It takes this pro- cedure. in addition to the multitudinous sprayings to handle this particular pest. They say he is a first cousin to the bell weevil. He certainly has a boll weevil’s habits, and mean disposition. Then there is pruning. Our boys (under Mr. Thomas’ direction) become rather expert in this. They go over our peach orchards just like a barber goes over an unruly head, and whenever they get through, that orchard not only looks good, but acts good. The machinery equipment of the orchards consists of a small Farmall tractor, a spraying outfit, an orchard cultivator, disk harrow and hand tools without number. The various cottages call on this orchard group to trim up the shrubbery around the dormitories and to transplant anything that needs transplanting. They also have a lot to do with the shrubbery at the football field and other places on the campus. In addition to all these duties, the orchard department looks after the canning. Our season’s total of canning usually runs around 5,000 gallcns. This year, there has been a total failure of the peach crop. The truck farm depaprtment has increased its tomato acreage, and we hope to double the amount of canned tomatoes and tomato juice, and next winter we will make believe that we like tomato juice just as well as we do canned peaches. The cannery not only takes care of fruit can- ning, but cans the surplus of the truck farm department. : Now we will tell you about this truck farm department in October. We are going to break into this series of farm groups in September, and tell you about our athletic departments. We think that it is in keep- ing that this should be done the first month of school, so that you can understand the far reaching organization that we have and the We have had ts privileges that it makes possible for our schoo]—-particularly ¢hose who, participate in our various programs.

Mr. Thomas didn’t understand the bees so much at first, and ther | did not seem to understand Mr. Thomas. They insisted on investira* ing, and each time they did there was a bump. New, our bee dep2-t- | ment consists of 25 flourishing stands and they all know Mr. Thomas by name. They seem to like him. They like his little graudsor who helps him tend to the bees, and seem to be thoroughly familiar and friendly with Mugger. the big bull dog who alsc is an interested svectatcr every time a hive is opened. It is interesting to see Mr. Thomas’ grandson with the orthodox Barium-summer uniform, con- expanse of his body bared to the atmesphere and possible bee stings nonchalantly looking on while a hive is being robbed. The bees must just know that he is not particularly afraid of them, to make them act this way. Last year, we seld a lot of peaches. We didn’t have near encugh to sell to everybody and those people who came expecting to buy some- times got out of patience with us. We hope we are geing to have big crops next year and all succeeding years, but we don’t think we are going to try to sell any more. We want to play host to the numbers of people who are always doing nice things for us, and if ycu will come to see us during the peach season, we will try to put a few peaches in your car for you to remember us by.

BARIUM MESSENGER August 1936 CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER Presbytery July Receipts Winston-Salem Concord Kings Mountain Albemarle Orange Mecklenburg 83 Wilmington 4 Granvill } Fayetteville 46 SYNOD $3,851.57 Oh h bey, oh boy! ! ! The rance hat is cenveved by the g regoing cutburst Was ac- tuated by the July the Synod of North Carolina and several other observations that were possible when last month’s receipts were tabulated. T[Here’s why officials at Barium = are joyous: July’s receipts totaled $3.851.57 which was $921.45 more than was sent to Barium in July, 1935. It is the best income for July since 1931 - five years ago. The grand tctal from Synod for | the first four months of 1986-1937 is $10,052.03, which is $1,427.87 more than in the same period 1935-1936. The record of rec at Barium during the current year | is the best since 1932-1933 - four | years ago. Aren’t those sufficient reasons for exclamations? There is a positive affirmative answer to that cuestion by the authorities at the} Orphanage. If this is indicative o7 what can be expected during the other eight months of 1936-1937, then Synod is going to show an increase of over 200.00 to the Orphanage in its regular giving _ the full 12-month pericd. The hope here is that this wasn’t a tamenauney spurt during July, but that it will continue uninter- ruptedly The income from 35, eo wert only $ is t here that this will cndiak in August, 1936. One of the main rezsons ; that belief the absence «f an infantile paraly epidemic in North Carolina this summer. Attendance at churches, Sunday Schools and Auxiliaries will all be better this month is the thc ugh of Barium officials. Winston-Salem Presbytery leads those that have shown increases with a gain of seven cents per member. Following in order are nburg with an increase of 5 cents; Fayetteville 1.9 cents; Granville 1.7 cents; Wilmington | 1.4 cents; Orange 1.3 cents; and TENTATIVE PROGRAM I5 (Continued From Page Two) 12:00—Reports of Standing Com- mittees (see abcve) 12-29 -Recess for Lunch THIRD D A \FTERNCON SESSION ‘t First Presbyterian Church, Statesville 2:00--Time and Place of Next]!

One of the worst things that can happen to an institution like this is for it to become isolated or insolated. Sometimes the tendency on the part of those who have the manazement of its affairs work to keep it insolated. It is easier to keep bad habits out of a group of children if they do not come in contact with other groups of children where these bad habits persist. At Barium we have always believed that it was best to have as many contacts with other people as possible, in spite of the fact that it was not the easiest course to pursue. And many sources of social contacts have been developed. Some Orphanages have this through a traveling singing class. This particular group of children in such a class come in contact with a very wide circle of adquaintances, but the bulk of the children do not get a contact in this way. Others have visiting days in which the entire church is invited to visit the institution. This is fine, but rather high pressure. Barium Springs has recently experienced a most delightful occasion of this kind when they entertained the Synod of North Carolina and had the members of the Synod eating at the Orphanage tables for two days. There is no more valuable social contacts for the Orphanage family than that. However, our visitors on the occasion of the meeting of Synod were all grown-up folk. That still does not answer the need or making acquaintances with children and young people of the same age as the children in the Orphanage. In our school activities we are trying more and more to have these wholesome contacts made. During the past 12 months we have entered into a conference of debaters and declaimers and in these contests we come in contact with at least four other schools. Last year the high schools were Statesville, Hickory, Kannapolis. ; Then, in our musie contests our children come in contact with a great number of schools and those that are fortunate enough to reach the finals in the state music contest meet with representatives from all over the State. A few of our young people (usually ten to each conference year have the high privilege of attending the Davidson conference and the two Mitchell conferences, and all of our young people get to Know the Mitchell conterence young people since a day at Barium is always included in Concord and ) each their program.

SOCIAL CONTACTS (Continued From Page One) : and swapping experiences and some of the closest friendships have developed from this meeting together. When the Barium team plays | away from home one high school class accompanies it to cheer and the whole party is usually the guests at supper of the local church or school. : Our midget team plays 10 other schools, different schools from the | varsity as a rule. Altogether, our football brings us in touch with |} something like 20 hich schools, The friendships tha; our boys and girls make through these contacts carry on sometimes through college and later life. Then, wrestling. It doesn’t take many boys to constitute a wrestling team. Barium Springs has always been particularly in- ted in this form of sport. It brings them in contact with an} high schools. I instance in foctball ams that play Barium are: Mooresville, Statesvi le, Hickory, meord, Lexington, Kannapolis, the Children’s Home at Winston- | the Mills Home at Thomasville, Albemarle and Charlotte. The teams tha+ Barium meets in wrestling are: Salisbury, Thomas- ville. High Point, Greensboro, Durham, Mt. Airy, Bragtown, and a few Y. M. C. A. teants. Barium’s rating in these contests is so high that it insures their meeting other boys without any danger of our, boys having an inferiority complex. Then, there is track. Track is a beautiful sport. It ends up the schcol year, and we there come in contact with still another group | of schools. The consolidated schools of Forsyth county, Winston- Salem, Charlotte (again). In the big state meets like the one at; Carolina, the Inter-state meet at Duke, and the Civitan meet at, Greensboro, our boys come in contact with approximately 75 leading | high schools in North Carolina and Virginia. In these contacts our young people are benefited Siccaibie’ Their circle of friends is as wide as that of any group of high school | children in the state. And then, other people get to know our young- | sters. They can form an opinion about Barium Springs from the things that they do and the way they act. We wonder if our church people realize how much of the good will that Barium Springs possesses is due to the fine opinion that the public at large las gotten of the Orphanage through the observance of the athletic teams.| Listen to this: ! There is one church in North Carolina that somehow did not let up on its giving all through the depression; and it was a church that was having a lot of difficulty itself. In trying to run down the reason for this, we found that a good dea] of the enthusiasm in this church was kept alive by the activities of one class; and this one class was kept enthusiastic by the persistent efforts and enthusiasm of one man. Then we tried to find out why the one man was so enihusi- astic. Here is the story: A good many years ago this man brought his car full of visitors to see a football game at Barium. These visitors were rooteis for the visiting team. The visiting team was supposed to be a_ lot stronger than the Barium team, so much so that Barium that day had a grand chance to have a moral victory without having a real tere ‘ y different set of victory. The game rocked along with the other team showing some superiority until the beginning of the second half. Then, one vf the Barium boys got loose and apparently ran for a touchdown. A+ that time, there were not as many officials handling the game as is the cas¢ now, and the referee was not positive whether or not the boy ran eut of bounds. He saw one of the Barium players standing right near the spot where the claim was made that the player ran out of bounds, and he asked this boy “Did you see whether he went out or not?” The boy replied, “Yes”. “Did he go out of bounds?” The boy said, “Yes, right here’. Now, that boy’s honesty cost Barium Springs what might have been called a touchdown, and it occurred in the game when that particular touchdown might have decided the game. This visitor was standing right nearby and heard the conversation, and the boy’s attitude and his manner in making his reply so con- vinced the man of his honesty and good sportsmanship that he went right back home and has been a seething volcano of Barium enthusi- asm ever since. These social contacts that come about through our large athletic program certainly do work both ways. Here is another thing: It may occur to some of you that this sounds expensive. We want to assure you that it is expensive, but it does not cost the Orphanage anything directly. Our football games are so popular and our basket- ball tournament so well attended that the proceeds from the gate re- cei ts from these two sources have so far taken care of the expense of handling our athletic program. The transportation of the teams does cost the Orphanage some- thing sometimes. Not much. The workers at Barium gladly con- tribute their cars for the transportation of the teams. The Orphanage furnishes the gas. Outside of that, the expense of equipment (and by the way, that runs into the neighborhaod of $800.00), the expense of officials, of trophies and all those things, are paid for by the people who come to see our games played. So any of you that hear of a Barium athletic contest being play- ed, you can come to it and enjoy it without your conscience hurting you at all, or without the thought entering your minds that any of Editer’s Note: The following is conclusive testimony as to the effectiveness of the plan of having a local committee te see that every man, woman and child in each congregation has an opportunity to contyi- bute to the Orphanage at Thanksgiving. This is a copy of a letter received when the 1935 Thanksgiving Offering was forwarded from one church Thich “jumped” from $22.46 in 1934 to $40.00 in 1935. Read t for yourself: fr. Ernest Milton, Treas., Barium Springs Orphans’ Heme, Rarium Springs, N. C. Dear Mr. Milton: I am enclosing check fer $25.00 fer the Thanksgiving Offering from the ——————— Presbyterian Church. Our pastor appointe: the committee and the members divid- ed the names taken from the treas- urer’s books and placed the en- velopes in the hands of each mem- ber or the head of the family. Ovt «f 59 envelopes put ovy we got back all but five with an Of- fering and three of these persons are out of the community, [ think | at least two of the five wil! make! an Offering as soon as they re- turn home. I think this proves your and Mr. | Tehnston’s claim that pecple will give to the Orphanage if it is prop- erly called to their attention. J am thankful that our church re- sponded so well. I believe our Of-| fering last year was $22.40. I do not know what effect Pres- bytery’s Committee wil] have or hew much work they tried to do. | I tried to do my part the best I) culd. Our pastor gave me fine support by giving me time ta make a short talk for the Orphanage at the morning service at the three hurches which he serves. [ also went to another town to see f - but he was away. Later I ite him i had a reply that he ad appcin a commitice in all| his churches. I tried to see the other members the committee that were to se the churches in —»—-—~ County, but one of them was away when I went to see him. I wrote Mr.—— f the —-———-.

C€. Mooresville Enterprise. Mr. Joseph B. Johnston, of Ba- rium Springs, in beginning an ad- dress before the Mooresville Rotary club said it was customary for superintendents of orphanages to talk about their institutions and money, but rather than that he would talk polities, and chose for his subject, “Child Welfare.” The speaker stated that North Carolina has more orphanages and more orphans per population than any other State in the Union. This large number could be materially reduced from the orphanages if the State of North Carolina would take the matter more seriously and increase the appropriation for mothers’ aid and child welfare under Franklin D. Rcosevelt. There is no way of estimating the won- derful work that has been cone throughout the nation for the neglected and unfortunate chil- dren.

That means they are coming back to the Orphanage for a one-day visit, which includes a luncheon, alumni meeting, football game, and all the thrills and excitement attendent | upon renewing friendships and talking about the days “when”, Elsewhere on this page of The Messenger will be found a letter which has been written to the alumni whose addresses were avail- able for the Secretary of the Alumni Association. Many of the former students did not receive this letter, because recent address- es are not available for them. It | is therefore being reprinted in The Messenger, for it is thought that some of them will be reached in this manner. Alumni are asked to read that letter carefully, and respond to both of its appeals - an appeal to | come back to Barium on Novem- ber 20th, and an appeal for each individual to send a Thanksgiving Offering to the Secretary so that the alumni body can make its own Thanksgiving Offering to Barium when the returning members as- semble here within a few days after this issue of The Messenger is de- livered.

THANKSGIVING SEASON 1S ONE OF TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE T0 UFHANAGE, PARTICULARLY IN "6 Definite Aims for 80,922 Presbyterians Are Set Forth by Synod’s Thanksgiving Committee, and Al] Members Are Working to Realize These Possibilites That all-important season to the Orphanage is close at hand. It’s the Thanksgiving season. And, this year it is more important than ever because of the aims that have heen | outlined by Synod’s Thanksgiving committee and which have been placed before the Synod of North Carolina. It’s that season of the year when more than half of the income for the Orphanage is contributed by the committee this Thanksgiving that friends, and it’s the urge of “Everybody Give Something” with a monetary goal of $66,000.00. On page four will be found per- tinent facts about the Orphanage, which have been prepared by the Thanksgiving committee and which are being distributed throughout the Synod of North Carolina in booklets numbering 50,000. Stand- ing out are the results that will follow a $66,000.00 Thanksgiving Offering. These are: complete elimination of the Orphanage’s in- debtedness; making available $10,- 000.00 for cperatiqn which has been annually used in interest costs and debt retirement, and the fill- ing of 55 vacant beds at the Or- phanage. Space does not permit the re- cording of the names of those men who are on the various committees of the nine Presbyteries. It had been hoped that this could be in- cluded in this article. However, the names of each Presbytery’s com- mitteemen are on the backs of the booklets being distributed, and the of each Presbytery is also Those goals are being kept before the minds and hearts of the people of the churches in al] Presbyteries by } these enthused and enthusiastic | committeemen. The goal of $66,000.00 that Synod’s committee set after as- semblying at Barium for a meeting represents an increase of almost 50% over the $44,454.56 that was contributed in 1935. It will be the greatest Thanksgiving Offering in | the 45-year history of the Orph- | anage, for the largest one in prior years was $49,467.73, which was given in the-fall of 1927. It will exceed that amount by a wide margin. i Different committees are foilow- ing different methods of present- ing this to the churches, depending upon the best procedure in differ- ent parts of the Synod. One Pres- bytery is having a series of rallies at points in that Presbytery that are available to every church. Another committee is having sup- per-meetings at seven cites in that Presbytery, and still others are following other methods in getting the Orphanage before the pe: ple. Many churches have set goals for themselves, and the goals are such that more than a 50% in- crease will be shown by these. Others have been challenged to specific goals. Many are going cut this Thanksgiving to exceed any Thanksgiving Offering that has been made in the past 11 years. Last fall, 103 churches or mission points gave the best Thanksgiving Offerings in 11 years. It is expect- ed that at least 300 will establish new 12-year peaks this month. Some personal and _ individual offerings have already arrived at Barium, and by the time this copy of The Messenger reaches you many other contributions will have been received. The Churches’ gifts, though, will npt ‘start reaching Barium until after Thanksgiving. Remember the aim, “Everybody Give Something,” and the wonder- ful realities that will follow the meeting of the $66,000.00 goal.

There are 55 empty beds to be ed. 200 applications had to be rejected last year for lack of funds and facili- ties. Barium Springs is a home, not an institution. Besides feeding, clothing, housing, educating the children, Barium Springs undertakes to give these children best possible substitutes for the homelife with their parents. Barium Springs boys and girls respond splendidly to the training a n d treatment they receive. These boys and girls have gone to colleges and taken front rank in literary courses, sportsmanship, and leadership in all lines. They are also making good out in the avenues of life. Some are rising to distinction in their chosen spheres. Thanksgiving Goal for 1936........ $66,000.00 li all the nine presbyteries meet their quotas, the 55 empty beds will be filled and the Home will be freed of all indebtedness, which means a sav- ing of $10,000 annually for carrying charges on the debt. WHY NOT LIFT THIS BURDEN FROM THE ORPHANS’ HOME? Thanks to the fine offering of last year, your Orphans’ Home is in better condition. Much is to be done yet to make it the Home it ought to be, as truly rep- resentative of the great Presbyterian Church. Our Thanksgiving offering this year, with everybody doing his part—be it big or little—ought to be the most successful one we’ve ever had.

XIV BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., DECEMBER 1936 Patches - Printing - Propaganda The department we write abcut this month is the least seen and the most heard-of of any department at Barium. It is really the mouthpiece, sending out to the friends of Barium, news of the family, news about our needs, and a good part of it devoted to thanks for deeds done. The mouthpiece and the shoe repair department. what connections they have w:th each other? All we can say is that it’s just accidental, like the hocf and mouth disease of cattle. It so happens that the man in charge of our printing office started ‘out as the man in charge of the shce repair department, and was pro- moted to take charge of both. The printing office was started back in 1923, following a very generous gift from Mr. James Sloan, of Winston-Salem, now of Cali- fornia. He followed his gift a year later by furnishing the printing office with a linotype machine. During the intervai, we had pu'b- lished The Messenger with hand-set t¥pe. The boys that did the typesetting were green; and that type had the most perverse way of getting upside dewn, or spelling words wrong, and those Messengers of that first year contain more misspelled words than any other publi- cation in America! The linctype vastly improved things. It seem- ed to know how to spell, and our paper commenced to look up. We Started out with a mailing list of 10,000. This grew through the years until it had reached 16,000, but there was always something the matter wth that mailing list, until Mr. Milton came four years ago, and under his magic touch things commenced to happen. He discovered approximately 3,000 names cn the mailing list that were dead names. Either the people had died or had moved and left. no address; and those papers were just being wasted. All of these names were purged, correct addresses inserted where possible, and new names added, until now there are 22,000 live names on our mailing list. The present force of the pr.nting «ffice is the foreman, Mr. Kyles, who came to work at Bar.um seven years ago. At the present time, You may ask he has under him, a force of seven boys for handling both printing | office and the shoe shop. EDWIN K. KYLES Abeve is a photograph cf the man who is responsible for the repairing of shces and fer all the printed material that leaves the Orphanage. It’s rare that an efficient combination man can be found to supervise two departments, but Mr. Kyles is such a man. When you see anything that comes out of the printing office you can rest assured that Mr. Kyles has not only had a finger in it, but ten fingers. He sees, too, that the necessary leather stands between the feet of the children and the ground. ene freshman and two youngsters from the grades. are too smail to be even The seniors operate the linotype machine, and the big press. The others assist materially in folding and the multitudinous other jobs that come up in a printing office. As a matter of fact, it is one person’s full time job to keep the mailing list in order. 22,000 names set up in type makes an imposing stack of metal. It weighs well over a thousand pounds. There are at Jeast 100 changes of address each month. quite often, a whcle section of a county will be changed. from one rural route to another. Sometimes a city will change its methods of distribution, which calls for the revision of all the names in that city.

A number of people have had a hand in developing our printing office. The late John A. Brady of Statesville, through his advice and help in getting us started, was a most valuable friend. James Slean, the man for whom our athletic field is named, is the Patron Saint. He has furnished the equipment for our entire set-up. Mr. A. P. Edwards was the first foreman of the print shop, and spent six very useful years there. He was succeeded by our present, most efficient manager, (Continued On Page Two) THANKSGIVING EMPHASIS ENLISTS.

Those first |few Home-Coming Days were marked by the most _ terrible weather that you can imagine. It | would commence raining about two days before the day set, and work up to a climax on the day of the |gathering. In spite of this, quite a respectable number would show up each Heome-Coming Day. At first, the Orphanage folks planned the day, and arranged the details, but as more and more of the old- timers began to show up, they took a larger and larger hand in arrangment. It was not long before they insisted that they be permit- ted to see some of the famous Ba- rium Springs feotball games. So Home-Coming Day was set on a day of a big game. Usually around Thanksgiving. The schedule makers try to pick out their toughest opponent for the that day, and the event became more and more popular. Then, an- other question came up. So many jof the Barium graduates worked in retail establishments that are particulgrly\ busy on Saturdays, and they are unable to come to a Home-Coming Day set on Satur- |day. On the other hand, an equally |\large number have their holidays on Saturdays and can not come any other day in the week. It is _very difficult to arrange a Home- |Coming Day to suit all parties. Se his idea has prevailed in recent years: One year, Home-Coming | Day will be set on Friday; and the |next year, on Saturday. In this way, giving everybody an oppor- | tunity to get to a Home-Coming | Day once every two years, at least. This year, the date set was Fri- day, November the 20th, and the weather was so different from those earlier Home-Coming Days. It was bright, sunshiny, with | enough of a zip to the temperature j to make everybody feel good and jto give them a whale of an appe- | tite.

ANNIE LOUISE | ‘ ' Dear Friends, Christmas is almost here and Santa Claus is right around the corner. We have written our letters to Santa and we are looking for- ward to his coming. Four of our girls went to the picture show Saturday for mak- ing the highest average in school. The boys that work in the printing office are scheduled on a dif- ferent arrangement from the other departments. For instance, the boys that are shifted from the dairy to the farm, or from the truck farm to the mechanical department, give them a varied experience; | whereas, the boys that go to the prin sentence”, so to speak. Their work calls for so much detailed train- | ing that it is impossible to get this over in a brief time, and they spend their entire training period in the shop. These boys that finish from the Printing Oftice seem to have no difficulty in securing work. They are scattered abcut over the country now as linotype cperators, printers, and one has even risen to a profes- sorship in one of our Southern Universities. The:r work is tedious and calls for patience, and quite often they have to deny themselves the pleasures that other boys have. For instance, dur.ng some of our big football games at home, we get out an extra, ready for distribution immediately following the game. Part of the printing cffice crew has to stay and set up the account of the game as it is brought in to them paragraph by paragraph, and a few minutes after the game is over, the paper goes to press. Naturally, they do not get to see any of the Tres TT a Pc eo th LINOTYPE MACHINE games which they are just as interested in as the rest of us. The shoe shop is another interesting department. It just does repair work, and it is rather seasonal in this work. In the summer time the work drops to 20 pairs of shoes a week. In the winter, it jumps up to 50 a week. Quite a noticeable change takes place when Synod Cottage dons footwear. This is only for three months in the year. They think it is sissy to put on shoes before the first of Decem- ber, and imagine that a person would need to be an invalid that wore shoes after the first of March. And on the least provocation, even in December, January and February, they are liable to shuck shoes and throw snowballs in the natural, and their harrassed matron has to send = searching parties to retrieve this discarded footwear before night- all. As organized now, the shoe shop works two days a week. Tues- days and Wednesdays. Shoes come from all the cottages on Monday, and are back in service within twenty4four hours. In the worst part of the winter, those same shoes may return in four weeks. The average is a little longer than that. The boys who assist in the print- ing office, operate the shoe repairing machines under Mr. Kyles’ direc- tion. Some of them become auite proficient in this, and do a splendid job, and this is a stepping stone to a pay check when leaving the Or- phanage, if no printing job is open. So far, the demand for good print- shop hands has exceeded the supply. ; We are apt to forget the shoe shop and the print-shop, especially in pretty weather when we don’t need so many shoes. We take the print shep for granted, and it is only when we remember conditions Mr. Sams invited us to the pic- ture show Thanksgiving. The pic- ture was about Laurel and Hardy, in “Our Relations.” We all want ting office are there for a “life | to thank Mr. Sams. We all enjoyed it very much.

We were very gad to have a visit from Miss McGoogan’s brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Me- Googan of Raeford. They brought lus three delicious cakes, and did we enjoy them! I should say we did; hope they will come to see us again and stay longer. Some of our girls were in a program in Mooresville, Winston and Charlotte. The people in these different places were lovely to them and gave them candy and fruit.

Mrs. Nor- {leet had the entire party at her home for dinner.

Anybody who has ever attended an athletic banquet, a Hallowe’en party, or a birthday dinner, no doubt carried away one of these very attractive programs in his pocket. The top job of this kind is the one that is prepared for the Civic Clubs’ Supper which is usually given early in March. The sympathy of the entire Orphanage family - both work- ers and children - is extended to our pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown, and nurse, “iiss Una Moore, in the recer eaths of their brothers. Mr. Brown’s brother died in a Florida hospital in November and was buried at High Point, his old home. Miss Moore’s brother died suddenly at his home at Palmyra, Ne- braska, in December. The hearts of everybody here go out to these devoted servants in these bereavements. O’Kelly stay with us. Aunt Lily went home with Mama but only stayed for the week-end. We have been invited to a pic- ture or two at the Playhouse, and / certainly do thank Mr. Sams for inviting us. Mr. Johnston gave us the pleasure of seeing Shirley Temple in “Dimples”. We are all excited because one day last week we wrote letters to Santa Claus. It takes a long time for all our letters to reach Santa at the North Pole but we think ours got started in time. Here’s wishing you a pleasant Christmas and A Happy New Year for it will be a new year before you hear from us again. —The Babies HOWARD We were glad to see the snow yesterday, but when we had to go to breakfast on the ice this morn- ing we were not so tickled as sev- eral of us had some hard falls. Edith Powell spent last weekend with her uncle in Statesville. Betty Adams had a visit from her Aunt and Grandmother Sat- urday. We thank all the people who made it possible for us to have such a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Some kind trignds from the First Presbyterian Church in Dur- ham brought “The Bean Stringers” a nice Testament each. We appre- ciate them very much. Everybody enjoyed the lollypops and candy they brought us. We thank Mr. Sams for inviting us to the movie Thanksgiving afternoon. We are always glad to attend the show. Mae Allen Barrett’s mother from Asheville spent last week- end with her. She brought all of us some cakes. We are all looking forward to Christmas. We wish all of you could see how happy we are when we gather around our Christmas tree. —Betty Adams -—Betty Whittle MANY OLD-TIMERS (Continued From Page One) those attending the Alumni meet- ing, but this does not nearly get them all. Scores come in just for the ball game, and the associa- tions with their friends at that time, and do not register. An estimate puts the number this year at 200, which to our mind, is a conservative estimate. The return of these older members of our family helps us in more ways than you can imagine. It encourages us to see the pleasure that these young people have in seeing each other again, and to see evidences of their affection for their old home here. In addition to that, they are making a very substantial effort in their céntributions to the Or- phanage, and to the Athletic As- (Continued On Page Three) ( t 2 se et i a a aa a a la de a l i a il ea e Pe a y a BR b D PR I e ) sa t CC A P OU S D H Page Three THE BARIUM MESSENGER FIRST THANKSGIVING RETURNS IN NOVEMBER Presbytery November Receipts Winston-Salem $203.83 Concord Albemarle Orange Kings Mountain Mecklenburg Wilmington Granville Fayetteville SYNOD 360.12 367.20 109.00 284.27 $2,582.66 Here’s the November table of | ' receipts, with the first Thanks- Pe . . 1 Ziving returns.

This team played one game at Oxford, and in the afternoon of that day, saw the State-Carolina | game at Chapel Hill. The 125-pound team had a tough | schedule. They defeated twice, the following teams: Kannapolis, Con- | cord, Statesville; and defeated Newton once, and the Oxford Or- phanage varsity once. Th.s team undoubtedly has SOnie | sort of a record. It has not been | defeated in eight years, and is will- | ing to take en almost anybody. Just cal! ’em a “125-pound team”! and they’ll beat ’em. They really | play as good ball as the varsity, | and sometimes are slipped in a varsity game without the other team ever knowing a supposedly weaker team is against them. Now, for the Varsity. The sea- son started out in playing Mocres- ville, which Barium defeated 39-€, on September the 18th. The follow- ing week, Barium played in Char- lotte against Central High, offici- ally opening the Municipal Sta- dium there. Again Barium was victorius, defeating Charlotte, 12-6. You may recall that since that time, Charlotte has won the State Class-A Championship! Which is not unusual. This is the fourth time that Barium has defeated the team that ultimately became Cham- pions. One year it was Concord; one year it was Reidsville; and once it was Belmont Abbey. Belmont Abbey winning the Junior College Championship. On October the second, the | hardest game of the season was played on Sloan Field. with Barium being defeated by the Children’s | Home 13-7. This is the nearest to a defeat that the Children’s Home | has suffered in several years. Two | weeks later, October the 16th, Ba- | rium defeated Concord on a very wet field, 38-0. Then, cn October | the 23rd, in Thomasville, Barium suffered a second defeat. The Mills | Home taking our team into camp 16-0. On October the 30th, Barium de- | feated Kannapolis, 19-6. This was one of the best games of the sea- son. November the 6th, the big annual | struggle between Barium and Statesville took place, but unfortu- nately this year, Statesville was so weak that the the game was really not as interesting as other games. The final score was Barium 64; Statesville 0. On November 13th Hickory was the opponent, and evidently the combination of “Friday, the 13th” was too much for Hickory, for the score was: Barium 38; Hickory 0. Then, on Home-Cominig Day, November the 20th, Albemarle, a new team on Barium’s schedule came to try conclusions. The final score was: Barium 26; Albemarle 12. But Albemarle was a team that refused to acknowledge defeat, until the final whistle; and the way they threw passes and buck- ed the line, kept anybody from feeling safe about that game until it was over.

South Piedmont Conference. The last game of the current season was played in Lexington on Friday, December the fourth. This game was twice postponed. | It was due to have been played on | October the 9th, and then again on December the second. When the two teams finally got together, | they both showed the results of | too long a lay-off. | They were not quite as alert as | their former games have evidence | of. Nevertheless, it was a most in- teresting game. It finally resulted | in a scoreless tie. And allowed Lex.ngton to wind up its regular | season without a defeat. While | Barium’s was marred by two de-| teats and one tie. Willard Drye pulled a most un- usual play in this game. Going | back to knock down a pass, thrown by Lexington, he stumbled and fell; and it locked as though the pass would certainly be completed for a touchdown. Drye practically stood on his head and reached up with his toe to knock the pass down, and saved the game! Now since the season is over we can look back and check up a littie bit. At least 80 boys parti- cipate in football. It is a game that a good many people are afraid of on account of injuries; and yet, we find thet there are fewer injuries during the football season than during the other part of the year when the recreation of the chil- dren is not so carefully supervised.

The Orphanage needs the quilts. It takes approxi- mately 1,000 quilts in real cold weather, and occasionally a few extra besides those, and quilts are always wearing out.

This article is intended to be | news — not philosophy — and | yet we can not help but point out | what we believe to be one of the graded system of playing. We do not permit a small, im-} mature boy to play against a heavier, maturer boy, until he has | thoroughly learned the principals of protecting himself. | The 80-pound team plays against | teams in its own weight, with an| occasional scrimmage against the | 100-pound team. There being a 20-pound difference there. The 100- pound team plays against teams its own weight, and occasionally, scrimmage under careful supervis- ion, with the 125-pound team. The 125-pound team is the Chopping-Block for our Varsity. And they get so tough playing boys who are just a few pounds heavier, that is one reason they are so good. When they graduate from the 125-, they are full-fledg- ed members of the varsity, and go up against the toughest opposi- tion in the State. They suffer very few injuries; they give a good ac- count of themselves, and thorough- ly enjoy the game. We know, from observing other teams, that boys of as great in- herent ability are often injured because they are put into football without this earlier preliminary training.
