While officials of the Home feel mighty good over that which has been contributed as Thanks- giving Offering in 1937, yet the difference between the $45,625.44 that had arrived on December 31, 1936 and the $39,466.99 that had come in by December 31, 1937 na- turally has affected the feelings here. The actual difference in Thanksgiving receipts on the two comparative dates was $6,158.45, and that is big money in the life of the Orphanage. The regular giving by the Synod for the first nine months was also less by the sum of $444.80, giving the Orphanage a total decrease of $6,603.34 by Synod for the nine- month period.

Other differences were Wilmington, $108.34 less; Winston- Salem, $172.60; Granville, $320.03; Kings Mountain, $854.93; Mecklen- burg, $1,083.92; Concord, $1,085.18; and Fayetteville, $1,098.18. Atten- tion of readers is specifically call- ed to the fact that these differen- ces are only as of December 31st, and are not compared with the final for 1956.

The Salisbury Second Church has concurred with| | Mr. Cook in his acceptance of this] eall and Concord Presbytery acted upon it at the regular mid-winter j}meeting of the Presbytery in the First Presbyterian Church at Con- }eord on Tuesday, January 11th. Rev. Mr. Cook, his wife and two ; sons will move to Barium Springs |} the first part of February, but Mr. } Cook will not preach his first ] | | |mon as pastor of Little Joe’s |Chureh until the second Sunday} next month. Before accepting the call to the local church, Mr. Cook} had planned to attend the Sprun* Lectures at Union Theologica! |} Seminary at Richmond, Va., and} the local officers were glad to con- sent to his carrying out those plans. Installation of the new pastor will take place on Sunday, February 20th. When Mr. Cook revealed his intention at Salisbury to accept the call to Little Joe’s Church, The Salisbury Post had the following comment to make on his life: “Rev. Cook came to the Second Presbyterian church in August, 1930, succeeding Rev. Eugene Alex- ander, direct from the Union Theo- logical Seminary in Richmond where he had just graduated. At the time of his graduation he was serving two rural churches. “He was born in Richmond, Va., | on June 12, 1899, is the son of Rev. James E. Cook, a Presbyterian min- ister now located at Bay Min- | nette, Alabama. He married Miss | Rosie Mae Brooks, of Richmond, on August 28, 1926, and they now have two children: Tom, Jr., 6 and James Montague, 2. j “Rev. Cook graduated from his school in the spring of 1917, and in September of that year enlisted in the army at Fortress Monroe, Va. He was shortly sent overseas serving with the 54th C. A. C., Battery B. He saw about six months active service on four fronts: Meuse-Argonne, Sham- aigne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, and St. Mihiel. After the armistice he spent about seven months with the army of occupation in Germany. “After returning from the war, (Continued On Page Two) | ed to his bereaved ones.

Making hay is one of our major jobs on the farm during early fall, so we will try to point out to you readers and friends how this is done at Barium. Getting a good cure on the hay is one of our most difficult prob- last summer lems. In order to make hay of high quality it must be cured evenly, so as to have a uniform pea green color throughout. The stems should be dry enough, so, when a hand full of hay is picked up and twisted, the stems will break readily (but not brittle). Just as many leaves as possible should cling to the stems, for in the leaves we find most of the food value. When this is accomplished we have a hay which is very nutritious and very palatable. ; : Our methods of curing hay to make it of a desirable color, nutri- tious and palatable are simple. Cutting, drying, cocking, hauling and storing are the processes. There are about 91 acres of land devoted for hay at Barium. This is cut with two horse drawn mowers and one tractor. It is mowed from two te four times per ‘year, After it is cut it is allowed to dry from one to two days. ; i There are two types of drying. One is the sun-dried; the other is air-dried. Hay that has been air-dried usually has a better color and more plant food. If too much direct sun is allowed to come in contact with the hay it will bleach out most of the plant food. This is avoided sy a process called cocking. Cocking consists o1 putting the partially cured hay in smali piles. he object is two-fold: It reduces the surface exposed te the dew and it evens up the drying for the reason that the relatively dry, leaves draw water from the moist stems. Cocking also reduces the amount of bleaching. If the hay happens to get rained on while it is cocked it is spread out to dry and then repiled. When this happens the hay is usually damaged some. ; Caution is taken to never handle partially cured hay while wet with dew or rain. The surface } in a pile, is the part which was best cured before the rain or dew. It is in the best posi- tion to dry promptly. ‘If stirred before the surface is dry, the sur- face moisture would come in contact with the dried hay ‘beneath, by which it would be readily absorbed. F After the hay is cured it of the hay, if laying is loaded by hand in loads from one to three tons per load and hauled to the barn and stored in a dry! loft, so as to preserve its qualities for winter feeding. We not afford to deprive our cows of good hay, because we cannot afford to be deprived of lots of good milk. ines News About the Alumni Jerrell Norman Killed Marriage Announced Just as we were going to press Do you recognize any of the with The Barium Messenger on children in these pictures?

The news of Jerrell’s death was a shock to many people at the Orphanage who knew him. He was here last Home-Coming Day, November 26th, with his two sisters from Wash- ington.

I, of THE BARIUR MESSENGER ALUMNI NEWS (Continued From Page One) rium in 1933 and Lois a year later. James has been with the Marines for some time, and Lois has been working in Wilmington. They are residing in Va. Other Alumni items Back in November we received a letter from Mrs. H. R. Gardner, (sormerly Lottie Turner) Box 1148, Wilmington, in which she enclosed a check which her brother, Robert L. ‘Turner, was sending to the Orphanage as his Thanksgiving Offering. Mrs. Gardner made her offering through the channels of the church of which she is a mem- ber in Wilmington. At the time of Mrs. Gardner’s letter, her brother was in the country of Tur- key in which he was doing some work as a marine engineer until the first of this year, and she wrote, “My brother is seldom in port long enough to attend to any business so I do it for him.” Mrs. Gardner left Barium in 1911 and her brother in 1912. Mrs. Gardner told us that she graduated from Louisburg College in 1914, taught school for two years, worked in Vilmineton for tive and a_hatf and was then married. She in Junior high years hes two little girl school. Among other things, Mrs. Gard- ner also said in her letter, “I am so happy that you were able to pay oft the debt on the Home and I earnestly hope that the O fering this year will be sufficient course, feel very close to that cause since it has done so much for me.

Christmas Time At Barium While it is called the holidays, it is far from being rest days. There is something doing all the jtime, and usually of such a de- lightful nature that we all like to crowd ourselves with it. The |viits to the children, sent in from all quarters of the Synod, keep the first few days of the Christ- mas holidays one of delirious de- light. Then, there is the business of getting mail. Every year we make a resolution that we are go- ing to acknowledge personally every Christmas card that comes to us, and then we find that it is a physical impossibility. We are not attempting to list, even in the paper, all of the cards that came to the Orphanage and to the dif- ferent members of the official family. We are just listing those from old Barium boys and girls. Here they are: Robert Wimberley, Margaret Moore, Olive Gaskill, A. J. Pot- ter, Walter Beattie, Robert Gall- yon, Mary Mark Montgomery, Nel- ly Mark Martin, Leone Caudill Cascallen, Annie Lou McKee, Her- |} bert Blue, John Nungezer, Joy | Stone, Bernice Stone. | Laura Smith, Marion McCall, |Pauline Shaver Kurdian, Ed Todd, Laura Lee Norman Todd, Sam | Bernardo, Hilda Bernardo, Angel- |ina Bernardo, Bonnie McKezie, 'Ruth Weddington, Marie Wedding- ‘ton, Myrtle Weddington, Mabel | Weddington, Roy Wade, Carson ¢-| Wood, Mildred Warner, Odessa | tired PAGE TWO REV: T. C. COOK (Continued From Page One) he entered Hampden-Sydney where he completed his academic work and then entered the Seminary at Richmond. “Since Rev. Cook has been in Salisbury, he has received three calls to other places which offered much opportunity but he declined the calls. Little Joe’s church serves the orphanage of the Presbyter- ians at Barium Springs, has a membership of about 400 and of- fers a field of wide usefulness, particularly to the orphan children. Such consideration prompted accen- tance of the call. * * * “Rev. Cook is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, chaplain of the local legion post and was re- cently reelected president of the Rowan County Interdenominational Ministerial Association. Tolerant, }/modest and with much human un- derstanding, his broad concept of | doing unto others as he would have them do unto him has won him the affection and respect of his congre- 'gation and the public.” | The church at Barium Springs has been without a pastor since last i July, when Rev.

Jack couldn’t go because he was at the Infirmary. Tonight we had the football banquet and Miss McKe- than, being a teacher, and Marie Smith, one of our big girls, being a senior, were invited. Dec. 11—We got to put our play things in our new boxes. We cer- tainly do appreciate them and want to thank Mr. Johnston and Mr. Ir- vin for making it possible for us to have them. We hope to get our Christmas eve. Helen Prices’s mo- ther came to see her. Here are some things that we got for Christmas: dolls, teasets, doll car- riages, trains, cars, trucks, drums, footballs, balls, tractors, story books, picture books, paint books, fruit, nuts, candy and many more nice things. The following had vis- its from their people or friends: Ray and Melva Powell, Helen, Hil- hew, Bobby Morrow, Tommy Rhyne, Bobby Allen, Jackie Wil- liams, Francis Strickland and Ma- rie Smith. On Christmas day Mama Girt and her children gave us all a nice dinner. On Sunday we still had turkey and other nice things left so Mr. and Mrs. Grier and Miss Moore were invited to dinner. Well, Monday night it was raining so hard that Mama and the big girls fixed us what we thought was the last meal we had with the turkey. We certainly enjoyed the turkey while it lasted. da and Paul Barnes; Kenneth May- | Esten Lackey, son of Mrs. D. Lackey, who is in charge of th» laundry at Barium Springs, made his letter as a member of the Georgia Tech varsity football team this past fall. Eston did this too, despite two lew operakions during the season. He played in 300 out of the 600 minutes that the ton graduated from Barium and attended Shenandoah Valley Aca- demy before going to Georgia Tech. He is only a sophomore at the Georgia institution and is fol- lowing in the “wotsteps of his brother who was a star guard on the Rambling Wreck team. Eston were quite healthy.

XV BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., ANNUAL HEALTH CLINIC GONDUGTED AT GARIUM [3 PLEASING REVELATION Rumple Hall Girls, Who Walk More Than Any Other Group, Gain Most Weight SOME OPERATIONS Tuberculin Test Revealed There Were No Active Tubercular Cases Doesn’t that word “Tnventory” give you a headache! In a business, ii means counting articles, weigh- ing up materials, figuring out prof- its and losses, and just headaches in general. Well, Barium Springs has “Inventory time,” too, and there are headaches involved in that, but it is an attempt to ac- tually count the headaches—not acquire them, as in the other kind of inventory. This is a Health In- ventory and it commences during the Christmas holidays every year. Here’s part of the findings: As usual, the total gain in weight of the Barium family is in the neighborhood of a ton and a half. Just imagine the number of biscuits, the number of gallons of milk and the tons of other things it took to produce that increase! Ail of the girls and boys do not grow alike. Here’s the way they stack up by cottages: Rumple Hall girls lead in indi- viduai gains. They averaged 12.1 pounds each for the year. ‘The greatest gain of any girl was reg- istered in this cottage—-26 pounds! Two others in this cottage gained 21 pounds each, and the smallest individual gain was 6 pounds. To those of you who are not ‘familiar with the way our family is divided, Rumple Hail giris are from 12 to 16 years of age. The group showing the next largest gain was the Jennie Gil- mer boys, who are the high school boys. They showed an average of 11.15 pounds. The largest indivi- dua] gain in this group of boys was 25 pounds. The lowest was one pound. This one-pound gain does not indicate bad health. It is one of the older boys on the wrestling team who had worked himself down to his regular weight in preparation for a wrestiing meet. The Howard girls come next, with an average individual gain of 11 pounds. The spread was 18 pounds in one case, to 4 in another. These girls are ail from 9 to i4 years of age. Then followed Alexander Cottage with an average gain of 10.92. These are boys of about the same age as the Rumple Hall girls. The greatest individual gain was 20 pounds; the lowest five. Quite often this group of boys lead in growth, but they can’t quite keep up with the farm boys who have (Continued On Page Two) KE BRUARY 1938 NO. 5 PUBLISHED BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME For THE INRORMATION OF !TS FRIENDS LAST YEAR'S FINAL SUMS Many Others Expected to Win This Distinction in Months of February and March On January 3ist, 136 churches or mission points in the Synod of North Carolina had either equalled or exceeded the amount of money contributed to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home during the full year of 1936-1937. In other words, these 136 churches have the dis- tinction of giving as much, or more, in 10 months of the current year as in the 12 months preceding. That is an accomplishment of par- ticular merit. Mecklenburg Presbytery led with 25 churches, followed by Fay- etteville with 22. The other 89 churches were distributed as fol- lows: Orange, 18; Wilmington, 16; Granville and Winston-Salem, 15 each; Concord, 13; Kings Moun- tain, 7, and Albemarle, 5.

It may be impossible for some few checks to reach the institution by the 31st, so the receipt books will be open a few days to receive these. However, it is hoped that the majority of the funds wiil be received by the closing date, and that fine! receipts the early part of April will con- stitute only a small part of the income for the Loyalty Month. NEW PASTOR HAS BEGUN HIS WORK AT ORPHANAGE Rev. Thomas ©. Cook and His Family Reached Barium On Friday, Feb. 11 Rev. Thomas ©. Cook, new pas- tor of Little Joe’s Church at Ba- rium Springs, arrived at the Or- phanage with his family on Fri- day, February 11th, and imme- diately entered upon his new du- ties. Rev. Mr. Cook filled the lo- cal puipit for the first time on Sunday, February 13th. The plans of the new minister were slightly altered. He had orig- ginally intended to preach at Ba- rium Springs on February 6th, but later decided to attend the first part of the Sprunt lectures at Un- ion Theological Sgminary and miss the last three days, so that he could start his work at the Or- phanage on the lith and continue it uninterruptedly. A cordial welcome has been ex- tended to Mr. Cook, his wife and two children. When they reached Barium Springs from Richmond, Va. after almost an all-day drive, they entered a manse that was warm, sat down to a supper that had been prepared by some of the ladies at Barium Springs, and found a pantry well supplied with commodities that the people at Barium had cortributed.

Barium had five men par- ticipating in the final bouts, with Capt. Beshears, Bosworth and Bol- ton winning their matches to be crowned individual champions in their weights. Beshears and Bos- worth were also 1937 champions, and Bolton lost in the finals of 1937. The Orphanage amassed a total of 44 points during the two days of wrestling. Runner-up to the state champions was Greensboro high with 38 counters. Others scor- ing in the two-day meet were Dur- ham, 36; High Point, 27; Salisbury, 15, and Thomasville, 14. Barium’s 44 points were made by Bosworth and Capt. Beshears, 9 each; M. Sigraon, 8; Shroyer and Bolton, 6 each, and Blue and Stin- son, 3 each. Shroyer and M. Sig- mon were also final participants, but lost on decisions. The Orphanage had no entries in the 155-pound class.

News About the Alumni Noami Faulkner, who is now Mrs. H. E. McDaniel and whose address is Route 3, Box 818, Char- lotte, recently wrote a letter to Mr. Johnston, which is being repro- duced in full below because of the information it will furnish every- body about this Orphanage alumna and her brother, Bill. Noami left here in 1925 and her brother in 1927. “Charlotte, N. C., “Jan. 29, 1938 “Dear Mr. Johnston: “T want you to know how much I enjoy The Messenger each month, especially the alumni news.

He was married to Miss Evelyn Speas of Winston-Salem. Bill has a good job with the Duke Power Company here. He married a fine girl and I hope they will be very happy. “T often think of our stay at Ba- rium and I like to think of the girls that I knew there.

It tells about the very splendid thing which Noami has done in taking a little voung- ster to mother and for whom she will make a home. And, it offers a timely suggestion. Miss Hilda Bernardo, former Secretary of the Alumni Association, has recently typed off the names of all alumni to whom letters were sent about Home-Coming and whose addresses we had. We plan now to publish that entire list in an early issue of the paper, and will then plead with all of the alumni to furnish us the names of others whom they know and their present addresses. In this way, we hope to build up our alumni list.

BIBLE GLASS AT ROCKY MOUNT 1ST FORMED $1.00 CLUB 'Phenomenal Advancement Is Made in Regular Monthly Offerings by That Class OTHERS HELP Men’s Bible Classes Throughout Synod Wonderfully Aiding Barium During the first six months of 1937-1938, the Men’s Bible Class of the Rocky Mount First Sunday School averaged $3.21 each fourth Sunday in its Offering for the Or- phanage. Along came October and the response jumped to $9.70. The thought occurred at the Orphanage that maybe some generous friend dropped in a five spot to cause a contribution that was three times greater than the average. Then came November’s contribu- tion of $11.02 from that Class. The thought reared itself that maybe this was because November was \the Thanksgiving month. But, along came December’s Offering of $15.- 55, and with it was the January gift of $15.11 from the same Class. And, the revelation was made as to what caused the transformation from an average of $3.21 for the irst six months to an average of $12.85 for October, November, December and January. It is best told in the words of the secre- |tary and treasurer of the Men’s Bible Class at the Rocky Mount F'rst Church, who wrote to this effect: “T'll give you a tip on how our contribution has grown for the past four months. We were, as you are aware, setting aside for the Orphanage one Sunday’s contri- bution. After our last election of officers the President stated that he believed our Class could make a monthly contribution of at least $10.00, and on the fourth Sunday following, the collection was $9.- 70 for the Orphanage. I am glad to say! it has steadily ktlimbed since and now exceeds the stated goal. Our President, our teacher and several others formed what is known as the dollar club, each agreeing to give $1.00 each fourth Sunday, and now we are proud of several members of this Class. This accounts for the in- creased amount of our contribu- tion.” The formation of that $1.00 club among the members is the news behind the following record of giving by the Recky Mount Mount First Men’s Bible Class for the past 10 months: We oe a a wa 18 oo ncas’ T June 4.00 July ee PNR oo asic ns ea a 2.77 eT os ee it 1.75 October .... we Ble DOPINROOE sorts te Bet 11.02 TREE ns hs os ed 15.55 January .... _. 15.11 It looks as if the $1.60 Club is spreading rapidly in that Bible Class, and it appears today as if that $1.00 Individual Club idea is going to make the Men’s Bible Class at Rocky Mount First Church a $100.00 Club by itself, despite that meagre $3.21 average for the first six months. If the idea keeps on spreading in future months, as it has captured the fancy and loos- ened the pocketbooks of! those members in the past few months, then the Class will give close to $200.00 to the Orphanage in 1938- 1939. How about some more $1.00 Clubs? Officials here will be glad to reveal the formation of other Clubs through The Messenger. . Authorities here are familiar with one Class President who per- sonally calls upon members of the Class who are absent on the day the Offering is taken for the Or- phanage, and the gift isn’t for- warded to Barium until all mem- bers have an opportunity to make a gift. Then, too, if the Offering doesn’t reach a certain standard, (it is understood the Class tries to raise $25.00 each first Sunday), that same Class President has (Continued On Page Two) FEBRUARY 1938 mae THE BARIUM MESSENGER | BSIBLISHED MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOsik JOSEPH B.

Frances Strickland had a visit from her mother and we were all glad to have her. Tonight Mama Girt went to a Circle meeting and Marie Smith, one of our big sisters, was invited over to Leila Johnston’s to a par- ty. On January 4th, we started back to school on our old routine. Sure seems good to be back in school after a few weeks of holidays. One of our New Year’s resolutions was to study real hard. We hope we may be able to keep this one. Most all of our babies have had | the “flu.” We have 26 and some of the time during the wild “flu epi- demic” we only had 16 out of the 26. The others were at the Infirm- ary. Helen Good, Curtis Baldwin and Tommy Rhyne had their tonsils removed and they got along fine. One of our little boys, Charles Stevens, fell off of the “ocean wave” and broke his arm. He is still in the hospital but we hope he will soon be able to return home. One cold day Mama O’Kelley told the children they might go out in the yard and play a while if they wouldn’t sit on the ground, because they might catch pneumon- ia. So that afternoon one of the children was sitting on the ground and another told him he had better get up or he would catch “maco- roni”’. Another remark was: One day Mama O’Kelley was speaking to Bobby and looking at another child. So when she finished, the little girl said, “Mama, my name isn’t Bobby, it is ‘Tippy Tue’ (Syl- via Sue)”. Those are just some of our ba- bies’ sayings. You never know what to expect next. Mama McGirt has not been feel- ing very good for a month and has been in the hospital for a week. We sure miss her but are very fortunate in having Mama O’Kelley to stay with us while she is gone. WOMANS’ BUILDING Only three more months of school. We hardly realize what has happened to our time. We have been busy piaying bas- ketball, studying and working. We are looking forward to en- tering the Orphanage Tournament in Lexington; also we keenly an- ticipate our Mid-Piedmont Tourna- ment here at Barium. Bertha McKee has been with us but has gone to work in States- ville. We miss her but know she will like her work. Gladys Caton, who is working in Valdese, spent the week-end with us. Mrs. Hal Clarke (Nettie Miller) spent the week-end with us. She brought her little boy, Tommie, with her. We miss everyone of you but hurry back folks. Some Cottage News | We are looking forward to Mr. |Cook and his family coming to live with us. | Two girls from Rumple Hail have come to live with us. They are 'Emma Eudy and Margaret Jar- vis.

We have had some snow up here but it didn’t stay. We had a wrestling meet with Durham High last Friday night and we won, 28 to 11. One of our boys, Joe Savage, hurt his knee, but he finished and won. James Shroyer, an Alexander boy, weighed toe much, but he wrestled an ex- hibition match and pinned his man. Woot Davis, an Alexander boy, can really play the Jew’s harp. Roscoe Smith had his tonsils January. Albert May was transferred to dairy and Gene Dunn was put on the kitchen. new preacher since Mr. Brown resigned and all the Alexander boys will be glad to have him as preacher. Cecil Shepherd is the woman’s man down here now. fThere isn’t much news this month so we will say goodbye. “John Lee’s Gang” INFIRMARY The Infirmary feels a little lone- some these days. We have only three patients. We had a number of cases of flu and colds, or we think we had. Those having colds were too sick for colds and those having flu were not sick enough for flu, so what- ever it was will have to go with- out a name. Nancy Stafford, Lillie McDon- ald and Geraldine Blue have gone out for basketball. Nancy says they have not lost a game she has played in. Don’t ask her how many in which she has participated! Mrs. Hamilton, of Davidson, was with us for a short visit. We would have been glad to have her visit much longer than it was. Tuesday morning she spoke to the ladies of the Auxiliary at their week of Prayer and Self-Denial. She gave a message we wish all could have heard. Last week, Miss Moore was the champion checker player but this week Jimmie Stafford is unless he plays with Gastone Alessan- drini, who is on the sick list for a few days.

We are having a good time play- ing basketball and some of our Fork, 125-pound teams. Some of our boys went to the hospital to have their tonsils re- moved. They were Jimmy Dorton, Ray Lewis, Pleas Norman and Brian Whitley. They were glad to get back to their cottage and we were glad to have them back with us.

FARM NEWS Hello Folks, These are the farmers sneaking |for the first time in a spell. Each month we are glad to write to our friends and anxious for the time to come. There isn’t much to do out on the farm now but top-soil the roads and cut wood to keep the home fire roaring. Last week we fixed the gridiron for the gridsters next year and we are hoping them more success this coming year. “Do your best, you rowdy gridsters.” We have a new hand on the farm now, who is a very good worker. So I want to introduce to lyou, Tom McCleilan, a ‘colored hand. “Tom, keen up the spirit the other colored fellows have kept up for the past ten or fifteen years.” We have a very good crop of wheat and oats coming on. If it prospers like the crop did last year we will be sitting pretty. We have also killed a nice bunch of hogs and have been having ham and sausage all along. We also have as many more hogs to kill as we have already killed. We fixed the road down at the dairy barn so the boys who are responsible for the drink that makes all of us at Barium health- ful “Milk”, won’t get so muddy when they get up at 4:30 in the morning to milk. We are fixing up over at the farm to get ready for some spring plowing, which will begin in about two weeks if the weather is suit- able. Your friends, —The Farmers boys are playing on the 100- andj (Continued From Page One) to walk more. Those of you who read the ac- count of the annual check-up may remember several years ago that a lot of walking promotes growth as was evidenced by the girls who waited on the tables, and the farm boys who had to do the most walk- ing were nearly always leading in this gain of weight. The Synod Cottage boys, ages 6 to 11, come next with a gain of eight pounds exactly. The largest individual gain in this cottage was 16 pounds. The smallest was pounds, but watch that last one! He’ll make up for lost time next year, When we weigh up. Lee’s Cottage is just a little be- hind Synod’s, with an average gain of 7.93. The Lee’s boys run from 10 to 16 years of age and their in- dividual weights have a_ bigger spread than any of the cottages. The boy who made the largest gain of any—in fact, the largest gain of any child in the institu- tion, is a Lee’s boy. He ieads with 27 pounds. The smallest gain in this cottage was 3 pounds. Then comes the Annie Louise girls, ages 6 to 11, with an average gain of 6.29. It is just about the time these little girls leave Annie Louise Cottage that they strike the fast growing age. They seem to spring up over night, after they get to Howard and Rumple Hall. The Second Floor of Lottie Wal- ker comes next with an average gain of 5.65.

PAGE TWO MEN’S BIBLE CLASS (Continued From Page One) been known to present the matter privately to some of the members after the termination of the Class period. Men’s Bible Classes are coming to the forefront in the support of the Orphanage lately. There are a good many instances of this: The Huntington Bible Class at the Caldwell Memorial Sunday School in Charlotte piedged itself to give $300.00 to the Orphanage during 1937-1938, and obtained pledges over and above the budget of the Class. The Men-of-the-Church of the Salisbury First Church have been sending the Orphanage $25.00 a month for a long while, and are continuing that during the present year. The Men’s Bible Class at Cramer- ton and the Young Men’s’ Bible Class at the Greensboro First Church each pledged itself to give $100.00 a year toward the support of a child at the Orphanage. The Neal Anderson Bible Class of the Winston-Seiem First Church gives all of one Sunday’s Offering each month for the support of a child at Barium and _ determines that the average shall not be less than $25.00 a month, or $300.00 for the year. The Men’s Bible Class of the Greensboro First Church at one time gave Barium a percentage of all its gifts. That amounted to a little over $100.00. However, they changed in 1936-1937 and decided getting |to vive all of one Sunday’s Offer- ing a month.

And then, at the very bottom, are the First Floor Lottie Walker girls. They are mostly Senior | girls, with an average gain of only 14.2, i | | | | ' only seven children who fail- ‘ed to show a gain in weight and these were all girls. Now don’t be med. None of these are in the least sick or unhealthy. One of them was recovering from an ap- pendix operation that pulled her Gewn much below her normal weight. She is fast making up for lost time. The others may have just changed their weight with the seasons—if you get what we mean. There are times when the styles stress willowy slimness more than others, and we are stylish here at Barium, just like girls are every- where. You remember our speaking at various times of the rhythm and harmony of the 100-pound football team. Well, they continue that har- mony right on into their growth. By a co-incidence, or maybe entire- ly on account of this rhythm, the four backfield players on the 100- pound team gained practically the same thing in weight. Three of them gained 19 pounds; the cther, 147 pounds. It looks like those boys keep i step with their teeth just as they ldo with their football playing. \ tTowever that may be, they have eaten themselves right square off of the 100-pound team, and to see them perform you'll have to ar- range vour schedule to see the 125-pound team in action next fall. We haven’t tabulated the gain in height. That’s a story all by it- self. There are instances where a child will gain in weight one year, with very little growth in height, and then the next year will show remarkable gain in height with very little gain in weight. He acts as though he were a measuring- worm. He swells out and then he stretches out! Here’s something else we've learned: We have tried to promote growth from time to time with a liberal use of cod-liver oil. Some- times it is with good effect; some- times with ne apparent effect, and then we stop the cod-liver oil, and find that the youngster immediate- ly starts to grow. We wonder if he is growing in spite of the cod-liv- er cil or because of it. or from re- lief from being allowed to stop it! Page some doctor to tell us about this. It begins to look like with some children cod-liver oil is a delayed explosive - it doesn’t get its full effect in until after it has been used a year or more; and then whether or not you con- tinue its use, it seems to have a fine effect. About the other things that were discovered during our Inventory season: We found that we had acquired quite a number of diseased tonsils - acquired, rather than accumu- lated - and since inventory time, we have had 20 tonsil operations, but most of these were new chii- dren. Then there were two other minor operations. Then. when we checked up with our doctor from the Sanatorium. In all of our big family there | | A great big jump-up has_ been noted in the giving of the Men’s | Bible Class at the Gastonia First | Church. That Class gave $188.55 in 1926-1927. but it’s going to be ‘nearer $275.00 for 1937-1938, for it’s already a little over $196.00 for three quarters and one quar- terly report is yet to be forwarded. What happened to cause this tre- mendous advancement isn’t known, but whatever it is, it has the ap- proval of the Orphanage. The Men’s Fellowship Club of he Charlotte First Church takes up a special offering after each Club supper for the support of a child at the Orphanage, this being entirely voluntary and over and above the planned budget. A few years ago the Big Brothers’ Bible Class of the Dur- ham First Church regularly sent $25.00 a month to Barium. For the past two years the Big Brothers haven’t been able to measure up to $300.00, but they are still help- ing the Home substantially. Then, too, there was a report from Chadbourn not leng ago which said, “You might wonder why the Offerings have increased so much this year. It’s because of the ef- forts being made by the Men’s Bible Class.” Chadbourn’s giving in ten months has already surpass- ed that which was given in 12 months the year before. Perhaps there are other Men’s Classes that are responsible for many increased Offerings. Ag other revelations are made, these will gladly and readily be recorded in The Barium Messenger. Canvaser: “Is the master of the thouse in?” Young Father (wearily): He’s upstairs in his cradle.” We found there were 24 who re- neted positively to the tuberculin test. These youngsters were al] X- raved and thoroughly gone over, and we find that none of these are ill. The doctors told us to keep our eye on two of them, just to keep them quiet. We have been keeping our eyes on these two, and the thing that we have noticed most is the size of their appetites and the way they are gaining in weight. It doesn’t appear that we need worry so much about these two. All in all, cur inventory has given us much cause for satisfac- tion. When we can check up at the end of the year and note the progress in physical stature and growth, and then check up on their mental progress, and day by day notice the development of per- sonality and character, we can for- get the many headaches that we might have ron into during the vear. We must pause and give thanks that God has been so good to us during the year. We have had sickness. There are times when we have been uneasy, but our ick ones have come through with- out any permanent ill effects. We have had accidents - some that frightened us - but we start 1938 knowing that we have been pro- tected and sheltered in this dur- ing the year of 1937. We enter the New Year thank- ful and unafraid. in h a oh ee oe ee ww e ww Sv ye w s ” «F Y “ vw eS § ee ei Te dl +t he © PR oP Pe e tr r On aN t e e t e y a: a Tw V e e r e a e t Ay aA RP @ th we Be t n Nr PAGE THREE PEGULAR GIVING BY SYNOD INCREASES Regular Thanks- Am't Total Per January giving Received Mem. for sromaiey Receipts Offering Per Mem Year Winston-Salem $ 310.45 3121.50 9.1¢ 124.8¢ Concord 469.67 169.63 7.9¢ 112.9¢ Albemarle 252. 31.43 6.3¢ 97.1¢ Kings Mountain 104.77 7.6¢ 94 ¢ Orange 414.11 7.3¢ 90.6c Mecklenburg 26% 853.36 11.9¢ 90.5¢ Granville 63.94 70.25 22e 77 ¢ Fayetteville 627.13 686.93 10.7¢ 59.4¢ Wilmington 337.69 135.73 5.9¢ 59.3¢ SYNOD $4,118.18 $2,887.71 8.4¢ 87.5¢ Herewith is presented the Table | giving responses will be sent to of Receipts for the month of Jan-| Barium before March 3lst. uary.

Those 17, plus the 136 listed in the February issue of The Messenger, makes a total of 153 churches or mission points that have either equalled or ex- ceeded the aggregates of the pre- vious year. Of the 153, Mecklenburg Pres- bytery has 28 churches; Fayette- ville, 25; Orange, 22; Wilmington, 20; Winston-Salem, 16; Concord and Granville, 15 each; Kings Mountain 9, and Albemarle 5. New-comers to this grouping iast month were Beattie Memorial and Marion in Concord Presbytery; Vass in Fayetteville; Dalias and Rutherfordton in Kings Mountain; Albemarle, Plaza and Wilmore in Mecklenburg; Burlington Second, Grier’s, Euphronia and Pittsboro in Orange; Chadbourn, Delgado, Elizabethtown and Oak Piain in Wilmington, and Hills in Winston- Salem Presbytery. All 163 of the churches or mis- sion points are as follows: Albemarle Presbytery—Ballard’s Mission, Bear Grass, Carraway Chapel, Grace Chapel, Roberson’s Chapel. Conecrd—Arrowood, Beattie Memorial, Bridgewater, Centre, Concord Iredell, Concord Second, Flow-Harris, Harmony, JHarris- burg, Marion, Morganton, Newton, Park Place Chapel, Third Creek, Waldensian.

That question will be answered at the Orphanage as the gifts in the Loyalty Month are received here. Will 50% of the churches be trans- ferred to that group which num- bered 153 on February 28th? That is possible, since there are a total of 326 churches, whose dif- ferences between that which was sent for 1936-1937 and that which had been forwarded to Barium in the first 11 months of 1937-1938 is $100.00 or less, and of those 326 churches, 152 of them lack less than $10.00 of coming up to last vear’s sums. But, starting at the top flight, it is found that there are two churches which lack over a thou- sand dollars of equalling last year’s totais; there are six churches ranging between $500.00 and $1,- 000.00; 38 between $160.00 and $500.00; 174 that lack between $10.00 and $100.00; 58 ranging be- tween $5.00 and $10.00; 70 be- tween $1.00 and $5.00, and 24 lack jess than a dollar of surpassing last year’s amounts. The 372 churches are listed be- low, and the actual figures be- hind the 1936-1937 total is given in all instances except those churches that lack less than $10.00. Those are simply recorded alpha- betically.

HEY, THOMAS 6. COOK 15 INSTALLED #3 PASTOR Impressive Service at Little Joe's Church Here on Sunday, Feb. 20th Rev. Thomas C. Cook was for- mally installed as pastor of Little Joe’s Church at Barium Springs on Sunday, February 20th, at an impressive morning service pre- sided over by Rev. C. E. Raynall, D. D., pastor of the First Presby- terian Church in Statesville. The usual large congregation of the church was enhanced by several visitors on the day of the installa- tion, with almost every available seat being occupied. The sermon was preached by Rev. Carl W. McMurray, Ph.D., pastor of the F:ont Street Presby- terian Church in Statesville, who used, as his text, for an effective and timely sermon, the 11th verse of the fourth chapter of Ephesians, when Paul wrote, “And he gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.” Rev. Geo. W. Hanna, who resides near Statesville and who had been pulpit supply pastor at Little Joe’s for several months, delivered the charge to the pastor and did it feelingly, having experienced some of the possibilities in the work at the Orphanage through his supply } work. Mr. H. A. Rousev, in the First Church of Salisbury, also spoke feclingly in his charge to the congregation, since he had been intimately associated with Rev. Mr. Cook in Salisbury ever since Mr. Cook began his work in the Salisbury Second Church after graduating from the seminary. Mr. Cook and-his family have is expected to be a very fruitful and glorious ministry. full-time pastor to ..serve Little Joe’s Church. Until Rev. .W. C. Brown cane to Barium Springs in 1924, the pulpit was supplied only part time. When he came to Barium, the Orphanage under- wrote his salary for whatever sum the congregation was. unable to contribute, but within a few years it was found that the church could become ;,self-sustaining:.. It has maintained. that status.sinee. Preparations at .Little Joe’s Church, as.in all others:.in the Synod, are. now .being made for the annual.every. member canvass. S. S. MEALS Giving by the Sunday Schools to the Orphanage in February was $95.86 less than in February, 1987, but the Sunday Schools continue to stay ahead of last year’s total by virtue of larger responses in some other months. The net in- crease for the Sunday Schools for the first 11 months is $77.62. This year, as in bygone _ years, the fourth Sunday Offerings in February were not received before the end of the month, for the fourth Sunday was on February 27th, and that did not give the treasurers time to get their Of- ferings to the Orphanage by the (Cortinned On Page Three) an elder | 0 THIS THE Lull BEFORE THE STORM?

Its increase was nominal—four-tenths of a cent per member—but that is more than any other Presbytery can claim. The per capita decreases for the eight other Presbyteries were as follows: Albemarle, 29.9 cents; Kings Mountain, 19.6%; Concord, 16.5°¢; Mecklenburg, 14.1%; Gran- ville, 13.99%; Orange, 10.8%; Win- BARILM'S PERFORMERS HAVE A GOOD SEASON Two Championships Won.— Records Given of Wrestling | and Basketball Teams The winter sports activity of | the varsity teams at the Orphan- | : age have been concluded, with two | | championships in the bag for Ba- | all been cordially welcomed at Ba- | ship in the annual meet at Chapel rium Springs, and there has been | Hill, and the boys basketball team an enthusiastic beginning of what won.the state Orphanage champion- The new minister is the second , rium aggregations.

LARGE ATTENDANGE AT MID-PIEOMONT TURKEY 'Copeland’s Girls and Scotts’ Boys Win Championships.— Several Awards Made The seventh annual Mid-Pied- mont Basketball Tournament was staged at Barium Springs, Febru- ary 17-21, with the Copeland girls ‘and the Scotts boys being declared champions after four days of in- tensive play. These were the tr umphant aggregations from a field of 32 teams that started on Thursday, the number being equal- ly divided between girls’ and boys’ contingents. It was the first time that Copeland’s girls and Scotts’ boys have won the tournament. Attendance at the tcurnament surpassed all previous recerds in the seven-year history of cage play at Barium Springs wher teams from.a wide territory enter this contest. The receipts go to the Athletic Association fund and profits from the refreshment stand also go into that fund. The girls and boys at the Orphanage, who are members of Barium’s basket- ball teams, act as sponsors for the visiting crews. Officials of the tournament se- lected the following as members of the all-tournament teams: Girls: Forwards, McAuley (Huntersville) and Eudy (Harris- burg); center forward, S. Ring (Copeland); guards, Bruner (Cope- land), Scronce (Banoak) and Haig- Boys: Forwards, J. Ferebee (Mocksville) and Wright (Trout- |man); center, Feimster (Scotts); guards, VanPolt (Paw Creek) and Nesbit (Troutman. Permanent loving cups were awarded to Copeland and Scotts and a cup presented that will be- come the personal property of a team winning the tournament three times.

B. Lackey, manager of the ehicken farm at Barium, in the death of his brother in Moores- ville. His brother died the early part of February after a linger- ing illness. Welcome, Mr. Cook! Make that a great, big, c: lial, hearty and warm welc ! \,e’re glad to have you here, and the Synod of North Carolina is glad that you are pas- tor of Little Joe’s Church. Attention is called to the treas- urers to a box article on the front page, in which they are urged to send all their contributions and appropriations to the Orphanage as soon as possible after the final Sunday, March 27th. Our expendi- ture books close on March 31st, and if your funds don’t reach the Home by that date, it will show up in the obligations the Orphanage have when the fiscal year of 1937- 1938 is over. That box was used in the February Messenger, and we’re using it again in this March copy for fear that you might have miss- ed seeing it last month. It is greatly regretted that the Tharksgiving Offering of 1937 is going to be in the neighborhood of $8,000 less than what it was in 1936. Repeated calls upon our church people in the fall and the unanticipated business recession that began in September were fac- tors responsible for the decrease. As a matter of fact, we have a number of letters in our files spe- cifically citing those two things as being responsible for the difference. Congratulations to the 211 churches or mission points in the Synod of North Carolina which eave more to Barium Springs last Thanksgiving than in 1936, and special congratulations to the 50 of those 211 churches which gave the largest Offering to the Home in the past 12 years. We are proud of the first-named, and prouder still of the second group. The financial status of the Or- Seonge on March 3lst is going to depend a great deal upon the a- mount of money that the Home re- ceives in this final month, which has been designated as Loyalty Month. At the time this is being written, it is too early in March to make a definite prediction as to what the obligations of the Home will be. However, all of the items against the Home are going to be current bills, except one small interest-bearing obligation. On February 28th, 153 churches had surpassed the totals given to the Home in 1936-1937, and as the days of March are going by, quite a number of other churches are being placed in that category. These people are to be congratu- lated. In a large measure this is true: As goes the Thanksgiving Offering, so goes the giving of the church for the year, in compari- son with that of the previous 12- month period. That’s because the Thanksgiving Offering is generally about one-half of all that the Or- phanage receives. It encourages us tremendously ‘to receive contributions sent spe- | cifically to be used in publishing the 23,000 copies of The Messsen- ger each month. In the 11 months that have passed, the Orphanage has received $73.03 for The Mes- senger. That amount will pay for the postage costs for almost five months. We hope other friends are going to voice their grateful- ness for the paper by sending us contributions. Some places have publications for which a definite charge is made, but the policy here has always been to send The Mes- senger to as many Presbyterian homes in the Synod as names could be obtained. There isn’t any thought of changing that policy. The memorial fund at the Or- phanage amounted to $664.05 in 11 months. This fund is made up of two kinds of gifts: Those sent in lieu of flowers for funerals, and | memorial gifts honoring some loved one whom God claimed a number of years ago. Both kinds of memorial gifts have shown a marked increase this year. That has been clearly evident by scan- ning the memorial gifts listed in The Messenger each month. If all of the churches in the Synod of North Carolina could give a sufficient sum of money in this closing month to equal the contributions made to the Orphan- age in 1936-1937, the Home would receive $20,718.04, and that wouldn’t include anything ad- ditional that the 153, which have already exceeded the gifts of last year, would send to Barium Springs. We had a little curiosity ourselves as to what the “churches behind” would aggregate, and de- cided to pass along the satisfac- tion that we made of our own curiosity. However, we know that much of the $8,000 Thanksgiving Offering difference won't be made up, for it takes a very special sea- son to raise that much money. Do you know of anyone who does not receive The Messenger? If so, use a postal card and send his or her name to us, and we'll be glad to add the name or names to our mailing list. We have to work on a revision of the list spasmodi- cally when other duties slack up a bit, and consequently we don’t get all of the people on the mail- ing list who should be there. Local Orphanage Secretaries can render a valuable service to the Home by furnishing us additional names. But, always be sure that The Mes- senger doesn’t already come to some member of the family before new names are forwarded to Ba- rium Springs. A certainty of this will avoid duplications. GIVING Lillian D. Wald in American Maga- zine of January, 1938. The most important lesson in giving I have ever received came from one of my neighbors or Henry Street. Some time ago, a naturalized Ru- manian immigrant came to me with a request which I was unable to grant. I carefully explained to MESSENGER MARCH 1938 him the reasons. Then, to ease his disappointment, I asked him for a little advice and help in finding a job for a blind jeweler in my block. We hoped to establish him with a new stand, but the whole matter rested on selecting a loca- tion that was promising. Said I, “We believe this will set our blind man up without asking for charity, but all will depend upon getting a suitable place.” I did not ask for money. Said my Rumanian friend in im- mediate response, “I'll give you a hundred dollars.” As he had come to me, asking a favor, and was offering his gift | in impulsive reaction to my story, I was reluctant to take the money and so explained, adding, “If you go home and think it over and still want to send it, I have no right to refuse help for my blind neighbor.” Whereupon I received my lesson. Said my friend: “Miss Wald, it’s me that wants to give the hundred dollars—the real me. If I go home and talk it over with my sons, they may say, ‘Father, that’s a lot of money.’ “Rich people would not, maybe, give so much, and the chances are I send you twenty-five dollars; but that would not be the real me. The real me says a hundred dol- lars.” Then he took out his check- book and made his sign (he had never learned to write) and left with me the check for one hundred dollars. I should like to pass that lesson on to the world, because I am con- vinced that there is too little en- couragement for people to be their real selves when giving. I do not like to see a person tricked into unwise or fanatical generosity through a sudden and_ calculated appeal to his emotions, but I do be- lieve that we should be true to the warm, sympathetic, and adventur- ous spirit of giving which lies be hind our masks no matter how cold and circumspect they may be. Women have told me that they were often thwarted in their pro- gram of giving by men who were close to them, who were too pro- tective; that in making wills they were often discouraged from ex- pressing their feeling for those in need. Generous men are some- times called weak and are held up to good-natured ridicule by their wives and friends because they vield often to the noblest impulse that a human may have-—to share what he has with others. And I have known children to be rebuked by their elders for giving away a treasured possession. Beware lest those who admon- ish against unwise giving are not fortifying their own selfishness. “Let the government do it” is a mere defense. The desire to give is an emotion, your real feeling for human life on the earth. Its expression should be encouraged. The generous heart should be ex- alted. And the impulse to give should be carefully nurtured and educated, so as to serve most ef- fectively in the world today. —P. 0. H.— “TO KEEP IT HOLY” —.From Charity and Children. One of the precious things that have been lost to this hurried and noisy age is the peace and quiet of the Sabbath Day, especially the Sabbath afternoon. The manner of pending the afternoon has changed with the changing time. There is no longer a long, quiet Sunday afternoon. Some people go to baseball games, some go to the golf links, some go to the movies, some go fishing, some work at filling stations, some sleep the time away and some help clutter up the highways with their automobiles. The last method is the worst of all as it endangers life and helps add to the carnage of the highway. On Sunday morning many people go to Sunday School and to preaching services, but in these there is much activity, necessary activity, but very little quiet and repose of the soul. Godly people who deplore all of the noise and hustle and bustle of the day are powerless to do much about it. One form of recreation after another has been added to Sun- day’s activities, not to say dese crations, until there is no longer a place of silence. Yet a period of silent communion with God is es- sential to a Christian who is de- sirous of walking with his God. It is essential to recapture the si- lence of the Sabbath day and that is physically impossible. It remains therefore mandatory that a Christian shall find quiet of soul in the midst of noise. He has no control over his environ- ment but he must have control of his own soul. “Thou preparest a | table before me in the presence of mine enemies” must become the | WOMAN’S BUILDING How are you folks? Everyone here is swell and that’s saying a lot after the Barium and States- ville game last night.

We are glad that Mr. Cook is here and are glad that Mrs. Cook likes her new home. We enjoy his sermons so much. The tournaments are over and everyone is pleased. We en- joyed meeting folks and making new friends. We have already started talking about next year’s tournaments. Miss Massey has been with us. We certainly love for people to vis- it us.

BABY COTTAGE Hello Friends, It seems only yesterday you heard from us last. You remember the boy, Charles Stevenson, we wrote about last month, and whe had the broken arm. He is well now and back with us again. Several weeks ago Miss McCar- ter from Clinton, N. C., came to Statesville to see Mama McGirt and spent the night with us. We enjoyed her visit with us and alse loved her very much and hope she will come back again. Several weeks ago (one Sunday afternoon) Bobby Morrow had a visit from his little brother, aunt, uncle and some friends. Paul, Hilda and Helen Barnes had a visit from their father aad uncle. Katie and Billy Dunn had a visit from their father. Also Kenneth Mayhew and Helen Price, one of our big sisters, had a visit from their mothers. Kenneth Mayhew, Charles Stev- enson, Billy Dunn, Lorena Hail, Herman Smith and Helen Price had a birthday this month and had a very nice birthday dinner. We also had a birthday party here one night for Helen Price and in- vited her brother, two sisters, Mil- dred Eudy, and Sadie Mills. Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Cook and family have arrived on the campus. We hope they will like their new home and friends here because we love them very much already. Daddy O’Kelly came to see us Tuesday night. We enjoyed his visit with us. Mama McGirt has left the Davis Hospital at Statesville and gone to stay a while with her children at Maxton. We miss her very much and hope she will recover soon and be back with us. So long friends. —The Babies. | Two Highest | The two children making the highest average in each grade dur- ing the fifth month, and who have been guests of The Play- house Theatre in Statesville 4 one picture because of this supre~ macy, are as follows.

He cannot keep people off the highways or golf links or out of the movies, but he can control himself and find silence in noise and rest in the midst of bustle.

Barium alumni at Flora Macdon- ald College, recently wrote of her appreciation of the alumnae tion of The Barium sec- Messenger. an incentive to continue our efforts to publish an alumni column from time to time. In her communica- tion, Miriam said that Iris Spen- cer had obtained some special work at Flora Macdonald and that she was mighty glad to get it. Miriam and Iris are both juniors at Red Springs, and will finish their four- | year work in 1939. We are today publishing some of the names of the Barium Springs alumni whom we _ have on the mailing list. Appearing today are! the alumni in Charlotte, States- ville and those residing outside of North Carolina. Two things actuated this: One is to let various alumni know where their friends are located (we wish we had the maiden names of every one of the girls who have married but that wasn’t available this time) and the second is to build up the mail- ing list. If you know of any of the alum- ni residing in Charlotte, Statesville or anywhere else outside the bounds of North Carolina, won’t you please send us their address- es? They will also be published from time to time, and in the mean- time the mailing list of alumni will gradually build itself up until we have all of the alumni of the Home on it. Also, if some of the} addresses listed have changed, please notify us accordingly, and we’ll make the necessary correc- tions. If you know of a more com- | plete address for some of them, we'll be glad to get that, too. Here are the alumni: Charlotte: Mrs. C. M. Allen, 2122 Rozzelle Ferry Road; Mrs. C. P.

C., APRIL 1938 ‘The Barium Messenger PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME FOR THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS BRYCE STINSON: Just stuck to his knitting and caught up with his older brother and is grad- uating with him. CLEO SLUDER: Entered in 1924 from Thomasville, along with two older sisters. A picture made of the three Sluder girls shows a small girl holding a much smaller sister by the hand, and this smali- er sister holding a doll-baby by the hand. Well, the doll-baby is Cleo, and she is about the tallest of the three now. She has been a consis- tent student and a most satisfac- tory young lady. She plans to go back and look up the rest of the family in Thomasville when she graduates HUGH McCRIMMON: Entered from Carthage in 1925. He is a boy who just grew up overnight. One day he was too light for the 100-pound football team, and al- nost by the next day, was one of he regulars on the varsity. He was the captain of the basketbali eam, and one of the best players in football. He never had an in- jury in his four years of sports, which included not only basketball and football, but track and a little wrestling. And then after the season was over one year, he slip- ped off the back porch in the snow and broke his leg! Hugh goes © Davidson this fall and you will ear some more from hii. MORE GRADUATES ON PAGE TWO } DOROTHY WEEKS: Entered from Wiimington in 1932. She is the first of a family of four to gradu- ate. She has not quite made up her mind whether to grab a job, or try to get some additionai business training. If a good job shows up that will very likely get the nod. We don’t know what will happen, but we do know that if Dor thy ac- cepts a job, she will give satisfac- tion in it. EUGENE SHANNON: Entered from Gastonia in 1924. He started in the Baby Cottage, and wound up in Jennie Gilmer. He has held pretty nearly every job on the campus, starting out as office boy, and ending up as banker. He has handled every job in a way to make a person regret to give him up. A good student, a good work- er, a good athlete. He pians to go to Davidson this year, and you will no doubt hear more of him there. Gene organized a football team at the Baby Cottage when he was there and he has been at it ever since. NELLIE JOHNSON: Entered from Davidson in 1926. She is the last of that fast-running set of Johnsons. The boys graduated last year. Nellie has definite plans made to go to Flora Macdonald. She is a good student and we be- lieve she will make a most sat- isfactory career for herself in col- lege. Some friends that Nellie has made during her stay at Ba- rium are making this college course possible, JOE SAVAGE: The grand-pappy of the class, entered from Imman- uel Church, Wilmington, in 1923. Joe is a boy who refused to let any sort cf handicap keep him down. He will graduate well up in his class and hopes to go to Ap- palachian this fall. He was voted “the most valuable player on the football team” last season. He did not need a nighname. MARTHA ADAMS: From Gas- tonia, entering in 1934. is finish- ing well toward the top of her class, and arrangements have been made for her to enter Flora Mac- donaid. We know she will be a satisfactory student there. Every- thing she attempts she goes at it seriously and with a determina- tion to make good. LUCILLE NORRIS: Entered from Fayetteville in 1931. Lucille hopes to go to college for a couple of years anyway, and then hopes to take training. Another good nurse in the making. MARLEY SIGMON: Entered from Taylorsville in 1934. He is the big- gest boy in the class. He is quite a football player, quite a wrest- ler, quite a track man, and he can handle himself in a basketball game, in addition to being pretty good at marbles! He has shown steady improvement in work from the beginning of his high schoo] career. He hopes to enter Appalachian this fall. classroom EUGENE BOSWORTH: Entered from Shelby 128. A quiet lit- tle chap who does not make any great to-do about anything, but if you should happen to get in a wrestling match with him, you would very quickly make up your mind to be defeated, because Gene has consistently convinced his op- ponents in wrestling that he was the best man, covering a four-year career, He has won his state championship in three different weights, commencing at 108 pounds. Gene is also a consistent football player. He has not made up his mind yet about a college career. And whatever school he goes to will get a good student and athlete. MARIE SMITH: Entered in 1930, from Winston-Salem, Waughtown Church. She is the first break in another big family of Smiths. We call them the “Whiteheaded Smiths”. Marie has worked at the Baby Cottage for severa] years. She has been so efficient there and needed so much that she has not had the chance for athletics and other outside activities that some of the girls have had. We don’t know how many recommen- dations Marie might need for any work she may undertake, but the affection that the very young children have for her is one of the strongest recommendations any- one could have. She plans to go to Winston-Salem after graduation. ROBERT STINSON: One of the home town boys, did not get to Barium in time to do much in athletics. However, he played foot- ball on the 125-pound team, and was a regular on the wrestling team, making his letter in that sport. ELMEREE SMITH: The second of that big family of Smiths from Pink Hill to finish up. Elmeree has been a leader in everything. She was captain of the basket- ball team and a most efficient one. She was a guard. Our teams wona little over half of their games, but in no game did the other team run up any big score. And Elmeree is mainly the cause of it. She was not only a good guard herself, but she worked so well with the other guards that made a real team. We predict that Elmeree wil] always be a good team worker, and will be successful in whatever she un- dertakes. HAZEL MILLER: The last of the Miller family, from Mooresville, entered in 1926. She has been an extra good student and such a sat- isfactory girl that she apparently has no difficulty in being accepted for training as a nurse. She will enter one of the Charlotte Hospi- tals in September. If you should have to go a hospital and draw her as & nurse, it wouldn’t be bad luck at all.

Mrs. Conrad Johnston of Mooresville brought us a great many funny papers. They have been enjoyed very much and we wish to thank her for them. _The Thirty-Three Wigglers RUMPLE HALL Hi Folks, Another month has rolled a- round and here we are again for a chat with you. We hope you have all had a nice Easter. We surely did. Elizabeth Cobb’s clothing peo- ple came to see her Saturday and brought us a basket of colored eggs and a big box of cookies. We took our eggs and had an egg hunt and had such a good time. The cookies were so good, too. We do thank you, friends. We are so proud of our church. It looks just like new. We appre- ciate all that our friends have done to help make it so. : Several of our girls had vis- its from some of their people Sun- day.

We have had a lot of rainy weather and the flowers are blooming. We have painted the beds in our dormitories. One of our little girls, Martha Price, entered the music contest in Gastonia and she won there, so she went to Charlotte Saturday jand we hope she wins there. Mr. Cross, Mrs. Coffey and Mrs. Halwey sent us some candy and fruit for Easter. We sure did en- joy it. Thanks to all of you. Our matron, Mrs. MeNatt, gave us an Easter egg hunt Saturday afternoon and we sure did have fun. Here it’s time for school to be out and it seems we just started only two months ago. Time skips along pretty fast, though. We only have this week of school and then our vacation will be here. The grammar school pupils started their exams today but the high school will not start theirs until Wednesday. The musie club, of which Miss Green is instructor, gave a recital Friday night and one of Martha Price, played her contest mr girls, piece.

Hartness, Raleigh, | Paid for Inside Painting.- Other Friends Help When the springtime rolls a- | round and flowers and trees put on new clothes, everybody gets the habit. That’s why Easter is | the time for dressing up. We didn’t do so much dressing | up personally at Barium Springs, | but Little Joe’s Church took on an Easter appearance. For quite Se time we have known that the seats in the Church needed fin | ing up. We need every article of | space, and when one seat gets out | of commissicn, it is a real calam- | ty. Well, back in February arrange- | ments were made to put in some) new seats and to work over the | the balance. While this was being | done, or rather planned for, sev- | eral of the Regents visited us; and one of them, Mrs. J. A. Hartness, | of Raleigh, offered to paint the | interior of the Church so that, Three Circles in the Myers that would be in keeping with the |} Park Auxiliary nave each voted improved appearance of the seats. So this w&s done. Along with tnis, a change was made wn the lights, and when all this Was done the Church had the appearance of a_ person with a brand new suit of clothes on, and a new hat but with old shoes. So the congregation of the Church took up right there and had the floors sanded and painted, and on Easter Sunday we moved in and did we enjoy our beautiful little Church in its Easter clothes! We thank everyone who had a part in this work. Especially do we thank Mrs. Hartness who real- ly made it all possible by her pay- ing for the painting—the biggest job of all. We are not through yet. Rev. and Mrs. Geo. W. Hanna (Mr. Hanna was supply pastor at Lit- tle Joe’s for several months) heard of what was going on and made a generous personal donation toward the purchase of a carpet for the aisles and pulpit, and before many months roll around, that addition will be made also. There are three materia! ele- ments that go to make up a happy church: The congregation, the preacher, and the building. Little Joe’s Church is most happy in all three of these things. Speaking of the congregation, it isn’t confined to the church mem- bers. Somehow everyone who ever has any connection with Little Joe’s Church wants to do some- thing for it. The painters who did the work in the church contribut- ed toward the work on the floor— so did the carpenter who worked on the seats, and many others. Somehow the spirit of Little Joe still lives. What Mrs. Hartness, Rev. and Mrs. Hanna and a good many other friends are doing for the church brings to mind a good many other “specials” of the past fiscal year. The dining room was painted by the Concord First Aux- iliary at a cost of $250.00; Wil- mington Presbyterial made a spe- cial donation of $157.90 to pur- chase a cook stove and utensils for the re-instated Domestic Science Department; one cirele in the Tri- nity Avenue Auxiliary gave a complete set of new shades for the Woman’s Building; the Big Brothers Bible Class of the Dur- ham First Church provided _ an allotment of 144 shades for Jen- nie Gilmer and Howard Cottages; the Charlotte Second Auxiliary bought new furniture and some rugs for the reception room on the second Floor of the Woman's Building; special! contributions were received te fix up some mem- rooms in the Woman’s Build- and a great many other things done by other organizations. this is encouraging and is appreciated. orial ne were All of deeply SIZFS PILLOW CASES, SHEETS AND QUILTS Pillow Cases 18 in. x 28 in. 18 in. x 36 in 22 in. x 32 in. 36 in. x 42 in.

Immanuel Sunday School, in Wilmington Presbytery, has no- tified the Orphanage that it is going to give all of one Sun- day’s Offering out of each quarter to Barium Springs, and they add “of course, this is just to start with. We hope to be able, in a short time, to give more freely and more ai- ten”. The Beginners’ Depart- ment of that Sunday School has been regularly giving for a long while, to clothe a child at the Or- phanage during 1938-1939, which will be over and above )| their regular giving. S100 SUNDAY SCHOOLS In the closing days of March, 12 additional Sunday Schools “made” the $100.00 Club, which is com- posed of Sunday Schools that reg- ularly give $100.00 to the Orphan- age in the course of a 12-month period, exclusive of that which is given at Thanksgiving-time. Be fore the books were closed on the 1937-1938 year, a number of other Sunday Schools had been enrolled in that Club, and the final tabula- tion in the $ given in the May Messenger. : ’ Sunday Schools entering im March were New Bern in Albe- marle Presbytery; Hickory, Mooresville First and Thyatira in (pncord; Jackson Springs} and McPherson in Fayetteville; Roa- noke Rapids and Trinity Avenue in Granville; Lincolnton and New Hope in Kings Mountain; Sanford in Orange, and Mocksville Winston-Salem. | | ' issue of The Sunday Schoo!

A. ae ath Ohio, Preached Sunday “The Covered Wagon” was the intriguing, fascinating and u- Mique ‘subject of the spilendiid commencement address delivered Monday night, April 25th, to the 1938 graduates: of the Presbyter- ian Orphans’ Home. The speaker was Rev. A. W. Dick, paster of the First Presbyterian Church of Fay- etteville, who reviewed historical covered wagon journeys, likened the graduates as beginning a long trek, and asked three questions, “What is your cargo, where are you going, and who is the driver?” The final exercises began with the salutatory address by Eugene Shannon, second honor student of the graduates. The seventh grade rendered a vocal selection, “The Daffodils,” and were given their certificates of promotion by their teacher, Mrs. E. D. Kolton. Rev. T. C. Cook, Little Joe’s pastor, | presented a Bible to each grad- uate with an appropriate pream- ble, and Rev. Eugene Alexander, president of the Board of Recents and pastor of three churches in Fayetteville Presbytery, awarded the medals. Alice Jones was awarded the music improvement medal and the Bihle medal, the former for show- r GOO0 NEWS The Outlook Bible Class of the Highland Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville Presby- tery is the latest group te be added to the Sunday Scho>ls and Bible Classes that regular- ly aid the Orphanage. The mem- bers of this CRass read of what the Rocky Mount First Bible Class was doing in organizing a $1.00-per-month Club among their members, wrote to the Orphanage for details, asked the President of the Board of Regents to speak to the Class, and have voted to give one Offering each month. They are forming a $1.00-per-month Club among themselves. They gave $13.40 in April and $16.89 in May. Westminster Auxiliary in Orange Presbytery has increased its monthly contribution to Ba- rium from $8.60 to $10.60 a month. That means a $24.00 increase from that organiza- tion, which will be 25° more than was given regularly by Westminster (O) Auxiliary in 1937-1938. Quite a few inquiries have been received aboyt clothing children and Myers Park Aux- iliary has asked for another child to clothe. That makes four for Myers Park: that Auxiliary did not clothe any in 1936-1937. MAGAZINE IMPQSTER {a MAKING ANOTHER TOHA After Getting $2.50 f from Tar- hore Ladv.

Fred W. Sherrill, of Statesville, offered four prizes at the outset of the year. Emma Eudy won one prize for the girl averaging the highest in high school, and Eugene Shannon was given one for the highest average among the boys of the high school.

Dear Mr. Milton At the beginning of our church year; in fact when we visited your institution last fail, a vow was made to con- tribute more to Barium Springs this church year than heretofore. In order to do so it must be made in monthly installments Enclosed you will find our check in the amount of $5.00, whiich we hope to keep up each month from this date hence. So, if it is at ail convenient, we would appre- ciate your jogging our mem- ories after the 15th of each month. We believe that if an ap- peal was made to all Presby- terians for these monthiy contributions to Barium Springs in ai amount from $1.00 to the limit, the annual income to your institution would be very much increas- ed. The suggestion is made only from our personal expe- riences aiong this line, and for what it may be worth to OUR institution. Sincerely yours, t . | | | hee oY Orphans’ } Neither has Mr. and Mrs. J.

This is a big tribute to ihe churches that were able to at- tain this significant feat, and it is very encouraging to the Orphan- age officials.

They have come as Aux- iliaries: they have arrived as delegations from Bible Classes; they have reached Barium in Circle groups, and many priv- ate parties have come by the Orphanage for a little white. Groups have ranged from one or two people to a hundred or more in one delegation. The more that come, the happier are officials.

The increase of $322.23 made in 1937-1938 over the 1936-1937 was the smallest gain of any of the-e past five years, but this was large- Iv because some of the Sunday Schools that had been regularly aiding the Orphanage had _ local onditions that made it necessary to discontinue temporarily this plan. As it was, the increase was over 1.7%. The giving of 1937-1938, when compared with that of 1933- 1934, however, shows an increase of just about 39.59% in those in- tervening years, which is equiva- lent to the increase of $5,314.00 in those five years. Last year’s regular giving by the Sunday Schools constituted 2.5% of ali that the Orphanage received from month-to-morf‘i’ and from April until Thanksgiving well over half of Barium’s receipts come from Sunday Schools, This clearly shows how important are these monthly offerings to the Home, and without them, Orphan- age officials would have an even (Continued On Page Three) | ing the bos 18,458.15 )| was $7,186.86 less than it was in | tabula- | which could be sent and for the sar iia books at the Orphanage were held ops n until the 20th of q oT f | April, on which date the auditor HAE called for the “m for examinat a indef-| and between April Ist and that | date, $3.481.08 regular funds and} From mont th 0 month ere $29.12 of 1937 Thanksgiving Of-|@PPears in The Barium Messea- \fering were received, Since clos-} &¢r a table of rece ipts, which is quite a bit of 1937- ne on the basis of member- 1938 zon have arrived, but these| Ship _in the nine Presbyteries in | will have to be recorded at Ba- |the Synod of North Carolina.

We are going to have some new ones to some to live with us soon from Rumple Hall and hope they enjoy it over here as much as we do. The Second Floor Lottie Walker girls are all excited over the new furniture which the kind people of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charlotte have given us. We don’t know how to thank them for it. Some of the graduates of the last few years are here to visit and it seems as tho’ they just can’t stay away, (we don’t blame them at all). We had 16 to graduate this year and most of them have left. We sure did hate to see them go, Bessie Kennedy, one of the girls here, has gone home for a week and we all miss her, too. We hope she will return soon. The Regents were here for a day and night and we sure did enjoy having them. They also went _to the birthday table for May. The soy having them with us. “Traine Faircloth, Myrtle Mills, ones who spent the night at Lottie Walker were Mrs. S. P. Stowe, GRADUATING EXERCISES (Continued From Page One) girls, and John E)lis was awarded the other for the most improve ment among the boys. Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the orphanage, announced that 24 reading certificates would be awarded, that 106 children hool had perfect attendance re ad ‘or the ve d he alse read the names the children making the highest averages, and those that were runner-ups in all il grades. The names of all were ead. He present.d a r of presents to the gradua from the Young People of th Fayettev lle First Church. The diplomas were presented by R. G. Calhoun, principal of the schools. The junior class members marched from the rear, stood be- hind the seniors and sang tne “Farewell Song,” after which Nel- lie Johnson delivered the valedic- tory address. The entire assembly sang one verse a the chorus of Barium’s alma ter song and Rev, A. Wii dismissed the packed audience with the benedic- tion. In his commencement address, Rev. Mr. Dick first went back sev- eral thousand years to the cover- ed wagon journey made by the children of Israel when they start- ed from the land of captivity and carried with them the body of Joseph because of an oath he had extracted from their forefathers 400 years before. Joseph’s body, said the speaker, was emblemati- cal of an unfailing faith in a God who will fulfill His promises to His people. The second scene shifted to the early days of the pioneers of America, who started down tl.e trail in their covered wagons and who underwent hards¥ips, coid, hunger, danger, disease and In- dian massacres. Those covered wagons, said the minister, were emblematical of an undaunted courage born of a faith in an "n- failing God. For the third covered wagon march, Rev. Mr. Dick took his hearers back across the ocean to the time when the casket of the unknown soldier was selected. He recited the selection of that in de- tail, told of the bringing the un- known soldier back and the march down Pennsylvania Avenue with the body of the unknown soldier on a caisson draf-4 with the stars and stripes. That, he felt, was a nation doing homage to the un- diminished idealism of a man who later died of a broken heart. He referred to Woodrow Wilson, who dreamed of a federation of the world, backed by dauntless cour- age and faith in an unfailing God. This brought the speaker to the fourth covered wagon journey, which he said the seniors were getting ready to start. “There are voices calling to the vast unknown, where rainbows touch the skies. Another company of people is on the march, and there are as many eovered wagons as members of Mrs, Plato Monk, Mrs. W. E. White and Mrs. John Harper. We enjoyed having them with us, and also some of their friends. Grace Cayton, Flora Mae Smith, Mary Duffy Coppedge and Alice Jones all celebrate their birthdays this month. They went to the birthday table this month which was May 10, and from the results when they came out of the dining room they must have had a good dinner. The news is all gone and we had better close for this month. —Mary Anne McCormick ANNIE LOUISE Howdy Folks, Our school days now are over the conversation of the campus. We had a nice little visit from the Board of Regents. We also had the birthday table and we en- joyed having the Regents eat with us, Six of our little girls also went to the table. We want to thank Mr. Gray of Rocky Mount for the nice candy he brought us. Miss Anne Fayssoux Johnston took us for a long walk. We went to her home and to the spring. We enjoyed it and appreciate her kindness very much. She knows how to make little girls have a good time. We were very glad to have the privilege of shaking hands with one of our greatest men, Postmas- ter_ General James A. Farley. Eight of our little girls had the measles but came back yester- day. We are glad they are well and had no complications. We are looking forward with pleasure to the visit of Miss Ra- chel McNatt of Fayetteville. That is all for this time. —Louise Brock MESSENGER the class. As you begin this jour- iney,” he said, “there are three |questions that I would like to ask lyou,” and at this juncture he pro- | pounded the queries listed at the in reply to the question, “What is your cargo?” he told the sen- iors that they had begun to load! j tt ir wagons, they had already | placed the equivalent of a gram-) lmar and high school education in ‘it, and had put under the canspy laround 18 years of preparation. i*You have placed in the wagon your physical strength, in it is} your mental strength, but also lin that wagon is your unfailing taith in God. Unless the latter is in your wagon you've already faced defeat.” “Where are you going?” he ‘asked for his second question. ‘He told the seniors that they | might be faced in the right di- ‘rection, but before them was an un- charted course. Unless they had ndaunted courage, he felt that ithey faced defeat. He mentioned “nhysical courage to withstand the hardships, mental courage to ithink things through and moral courage to live cleanly and pure- ly.” As a final question, he pro- pounded. “Who is driving?” | cutest of this article. | | 9” and who is holding the reins? shot out the questions in rapid- fire order. “When God first creat- ed man He had an ideal for man, a supreme ideal—but the curtain fell. However, it rose again and that ideal was found in the New Testament when it was said, ‘Thou shall call His name Jesus.’ Place Jesus on the driver’s seat and give Him the reins.” “The first three wagons have come to the end of the trail,” he said toward the close. “The covers over those wagons are threadbare and torn, the wheels have deterio- rated and rotted, and ere long you, too, will come to the end of the trail and kindle the last camp- fire. However, that’s not the end. Thank God there’s more. Your faith in God, and courage born of that idealism born of Christ will en- able you at last to be presented faultless before the throne of grace with exceeding joy.” Baccalaureate Sermon “Giving Your Mind to Christ” and “God’s Plan For Your Life” were the subjects of two splendid and thought-prpveking sermons delivered at the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home at Barium Springs on Sunday, April 24th, as the 1938 graduation exercises got into full swing. Dr. C. M. Boyd, Char- lotte, used the former subject for his baccalaureate sermon, and Rev. J. A. Carriker, Marion, Ohio, spoke upon the latter. “What are you thinking about when you don’t know you’re think- ing?” was asked in the early part of Dr. Boyd’s address, and he said that if he could find out the an- swer to that question that he would know exactly what “you are.” That thinking, he continued. “makes us what we are and will continue to make us, in a striking way, in the years to come.” The Charlotte minister said that there was something pulling a- gainst people all the time, that there was a strong current against the individual in this idle thinking. that it “pulls him down, curses him, holds him back.” This thought dovetailed into the idea that “you and I don’t become anything at all - intentionally or otherwise - unless it is planned. Make up your mind you’re going to pay for what you get; you don’t attain, plan or drift, without preparing yourself. Even when you fail in school you have prepared yourself for it - not intentionally, of course,” he add- for a while, and vacation is noW| eq He urged the graduates to con- trol their thinking and told them that this was the hardest job they would ever undertake. However, he assured them that it could be done, and that the mind could be brought to where “you think what you ought to think.” If that hap- pens, he told them, they would have plenty of time to do all the things they desired to do. Dr. Boyd said there were four things that a person can not do if their thinking was going to be clean and fine. “First, you can’t read dirt and filth and think like you ought to think; second, you can’t see that which you ought not to see: third, you can’t hear the | thing that you ought not to hear! and which isn’t uplifting, and, fourth, you can’t say the thing’ that ought not to be said unless | it is seared into your soul.” Those were negative aspects. On | the positive side, the Charlotte pastor said that “you can think | about other things. If you're. thinking about the right things you won’t be thinking about the “Who's driving, who is directing, MAY 1938 == wrong things; if there’s something in your mind that you want to get out, put something in - read, hear, see and say the right things.” in closing, he said the world is calling for young men and women who can think. “There’s no place in the world for people with minds of an ingrowing type, but there is a piace for tne minds that will let the sunshine in.” Barium Graduate Preaches Rev. Mr. Carriker, who finished at the Orphanage in 1916, said that he experienced difficulty in deciding exactly what to say, for there were so many things that he would like to come back home and talk about. He decided that he would talk to the graduates about “God’s plan for your life,” which was also applicable to those who were still in the Home and who would graduate in the future | years. “God does nething haphazardly,” he said at the outset, “for there’s a purpose and a reason for God putting you in this world. He has a mission for you to perform.” He assured them that it was not a mystery, and then proceeded to show how God has a_ plan for everything. . “You see signs of order in ev- erything - in night and day, the seasons, animal life, plant life. There’s a purpose for everything under the sun. Furthermore, there are no two things exactly alike - no stars, not a blade of grass, not a leaf. Yet,” he said, “there’s no confusion, no mixup, The explanation of that is that there is a_ great _ intelligence, master mind, will and power be- hind it all and all of those are summed up in God.” With such order existing, he continued, it is illogical to say that everything else moves accord- ing to order and that men and women can move in any way they like. Continuing, he pointed out the differences between mankind and the elements, nature, animals, and plants. The Ohio minister said that man was different because “we can make choices, man is con- quering all the world with the minds that have been given them, man is made in the image of God, and God has revealed to him mor- al and spiritual laws.” With these special endowments, he asked all of his _ hearers, “Shouldn’t you take God into con- sideration in making all of your plans? If we take God into ac- count He will help us to keep from being a failure. Christ is the mas- ter mind,” he said, “and knows the strength of our minds. Christ is the greatest teacher. You’ll get the best and the truth from Christ.” Toward the close he pointed out those things that God wants of every person. “God wants every- one to become something and God wants you to serve like Jesus.” Elaborating, Mr. Carriker said that God wants us to become like Christ in character and conduct. “God has given Christ as a pat- tern - a perfect example of what life should be. Success is how well we fit into that pattern. Be like Christ and serve Christ and you'll never make a mistake as to why God put you into the world. Ac- knowledge Him in all things - money, time, and talent - and He shall direct your paths.” No. Organizations During 1937-1938, a grand to- tal of 847 organizations had a part in the regular giving of $44,- 147.66 from the Synod of North Carolina. Of that number, 299 church budgets reported contribu- tions, 274 Sunday Schools sent something regularly and 274 Aux- iliaries repo regular contri- butions. Eleven more church bud- gets reported sums, while there were seven less Sunday Schools and two less Auxiliaries reporting regular gifts, as compared with the 1936-1937 record. This was a net loss of two. (None of these facts deals with the Thanksgiving Offering reports.) ; According to the Presbyteries, the following number of organiza- tions reported regular contribu- tions: Presbytery Ch. SS. Anx.

Taking both the Thanksgiving Oftering and the regular giving into consideration the 1937-1928 record shows increases of $64.64 by Wilmington Presbytery and $16.58 for Winston-Salem Presby- tery. The cther seven Presbyter- ies showed a combined decrease in Thanksgiving and regular Offer- ings as follows: Concord, $1,913.- 25; Mecklenburg, $1,872.71: Al- bemarle, $1,148.22: Kings Moun- tain, $773.25; Orange, $626.42: Granville, $609.94, and Fayette- ville, $324.29, An analysis of the above in the light of preceding comment shows that Albemarle, Fayetteville, Kings Mountain, Wilmington and Winston-Salem Presbyteries show- ed increases in the regular gifts. To Wilmington Presbytery alone goes the distinction of having shown increases in both the Thanksgiving and regular offer- | ings. Synod’s giving to the Orphan- age in 1987-1988 was 8.2% less than the total of 1936-1937. Wil- mington’s increase was 1.1% and Winston-Salem’s one-tenth of a per cent. The monetary declines | percentagely were Albemarle Pres- bytery, 22%: Concord, Kings Mountain, 12%; Granville, 10.8%: Mecklenburg, 9.6%; Or- ange, 5.1%, and Fayetteville. 3.2%. Looking at the contributions of Synod from a standpoint of mem- bership, however, the record shows that every Presbytery gave less than the previous year. Wilmington’s and Winston-Salem’s increases in money were not a breast of their increases in mem- bership, so the per capita declines on the basis of members listed in the 1937 minutes of the General Assembly are as follows: Albemarle, 30.9 cents; Concord, 18.4 cents; Kings Mountain, 16.6 cents; Granville, 13.4 cents; Or- ange, 11.1 cents; Winston-Salem, 5.2 cents; Fayetteville, 3.2 cents; Mecklenburg, 2.4 cents, and Wil- mington, seven-tenths of a cent. Synod’s per capita decline was 11.6 cents. The order of standing of the nine Presbyteries at the end of 1937-19388 was the same as the 12.4%; | SYNODIGAL GRPHANAGS ISEGRETARY SAS| te Presbyteries and organizations | within those Presbyteries, is as | To all the Women of North Caro- lina Synodical Auxiliary, greetings!

There was a small increase of $54.73 in April, | giving a total advantage of $388.09 for the first two months of the new year. For April and May the Synod has contributed $4,012.91. Of course, that is far less than the amount needed for the operation of the Home in those two months, which means that the current bills against the Orphanage are accu- mulating and will continue to ac- Am’t.

Had every one of the 271 churches given as much as in 1936-1937, the Orphan” age would have received $10,642.34 more than it did. | Tt is rather significant that 25 of the churches of the Synod lack- ed an aggregate tegether of $7,- 149.38, leaving $3,492.96 to be ap- portioned among the other 246 | | Synodical Orphanage | Secretary Says Jear Friends, The | North Carolina Synodical jiary: Feeling that to efficiently rep- esent the Orphanage work of our Synod in the Synodical Presbyter- ials and Auxiliaries, the Auxil- oughly, must be in sympathy with its aims and purposes and must ‘have understanding love for the children and an enthusiastic inter- est in this part of God’s King- dom. To that end we had a Sec- | vetaries’ Day at Barium on May | 33th. Several of the invited Pres- | byterial Secretaries were absent | because of illness or distance, but | churches. That $7,149.38 was made up of churches that were $100.00 | or more behind their 1936-1937 contributions. Here’s the way the records goes: Behind as much as $100.00, 25) churches; between $10.00 to $99.99, 105; between $5.00 to $9.99, 52; between $1.00 to $4.99, 66; behind less than 99 cents, 23. Churches or missions failing to report support funds gifts were: Cape Fear, Centre Ridge, Elrod, Gilmore Memorial, Henderlite | Memorial, Ida Mill, Lakeside, Loggins, Midland (M), Mount Car- mel ({M), Pilot Mountain, Provi- dence (F) (sent to clothing fund, however); Rocky Ridge, Salem (M), Speedwell, Stanford, Steph- enson, Stony Point, Verona, West Marion, White Plains, Wild- wood (F), Willow Springs. According to Presbyteries the following were the churches that gave less than in 1936-1937 and | the amounts they were behind: Number Amount | Presbytery Churches Behind Mecklenburg 42 $ 2,485.26 | Concord 40 2,244.99 Albemarle 22 1,384.91 Orange 28 1,314.7§ Kings Mountain 25 912.86 Fayetteville 47 887.00 Granville 17 719.13 Wilmington 30 396.37 Winston-Salem 20 297.07 Totals 271 $10,642.34 Here are the churches that were behind the 1936-1937 giving: Church Myers Park Charlotte Second High Point First Concord First Salisbury First ....

We were happy | new and already beloved pastor | of the Orphanage Church, led an | opening devotional. During the! day, Mr. J. B. Johnston and Mr. | Miiton were our guides and inter- | preters, and from them we learned | of the urgent and most urgent) needs of the Home for the current | year, acquiring, as it were, a view | of the huge problem of not only | daily provision, but of upkeep, repair and restoration needed now. | During the morning, Mr. Milton | spoke to us at some length, giv-: ing us the benefit of his expert knowledge of the business side ' of running an orphanage - this | orphanage - which we are con- vinced is the finest anywhere. The Synodical Secretary’s mes- sage dealt largely with very spe- cific objects as follows: First, to see that every one of the 52 Aux- lavies not reporting an Orphanege Work Secretary, shall appoint this cefficer at once; that the Presby- terial Secretaries enlist and put to work the loyal interest of the 348 local Orphanage Work Secretar- jes now in the Synodical. With uch a strong group of orphanag minded workers scattered from mountain to seashore, a new day of interest and zeal for our Or- phanage Work should be ahead and what can we not accomplish! Let us all, 400 strong, work together for His Glory, at Barium. Second, every—yes, every singie Auxiliary—is to put on a Barium program this fall. It may be dene by circles, if you desire, but we are to have our 400 groups of women learning to know our Or- | phanage better this year. Such a! program is to be prepared and | sent out by early fall and will be | ready for the Auxiliaries’ use. | re Third, visit Barium, by Presby- | terial Orphanage Work groups this summer and then by Iocal} (Continued On Page Three) | That | would be 20 cents per person for | Women of Secre- | taries must know the Home thor- | | , Snow GOOD NEWS | The good news for the month of May is confined entirely to the Auxiliaries.

Nothing but encouragement has resulted from the above notations; additional encourage- ment will be cordia!ly welcomed.

He was very positive in that contention and made the statement upon the concrete experience he had had in his own Sunday School. “I think our Sunday School will give $50.00 more for the entire vear because we are using the pes- ters,” he said. That pastor had recently written for a number of sets of posters - on one side of which is printed “Barium Springs Of- fering Next Sunday” with “Barium Springs Offering To- day” on the opposite side. His Sunday School gave almost 18.5% more in April, 1938, than it did in April, 1937, after these posters were used. This testimony is typical; sim- ilar assertions have been made in times passed. This article is to announce that those posters are available to any Sunday School, whose old sets of pos- ters are soiled or have been misplaced. A new set or sets will be gladly mailed to any Sunday School superintendent or treasurer requesting them. There’s a good supply on hana now, and more will be printed if needed.

JUNE, 1938 PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME FOR THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIE BUILDING SITUATION NO. 9 NDS WARRENTON AND KINGS HERE TO BE STUDIED MTN, PRESBYTERY LEAN tegents Authorized Appoint- In Per Capita Regular Giv- ment of Special Committee at its Spring Meeting One of the outstanding actions of the Board of Regents at its semi- annual meeting at Barium Springs on Monday and Tuesday, May 9th and 10th, was to instruct the president of the Board to ap- point a special committee to study the buildings at the Orphanage and to make recommendations for a program of building and replace- ments at the fall meeting of that body, the said building program to be completed or in progress, when the 50th anniversary of the Or- phanage at Barium Springs is celebrated in 1941. This action grew out of the re-| port made by the superintendent | of the Orphanage, who called to the attention of the Board the approaching semi-centennial year and who also pointed out the needs of the Home in general. Mr. Johnston spoke of the buildings that were erected at Barium Springs 30 or more years ago and how outmoded they were for the present needs and trend in the en- deavor of orphanages to make homes for the children. Changes have, of course, been made in those buildings to meet modern sanita- tion and needs, but they are still far from the type of buildings that would be constructed today. While the Orphanage was orig- inally started in Charlotte in 1883 by a group of ladies it was not until 1891 that it became a Syn- odical project and was moved to Barium Springs. The Regents voted to recommend to the Synod of North Carolina, at its fall meeting, that the spe- cial Thanksgiving Offering com- mittee from S.,nod be appointed for a two-year period this fall, and thereafter a year in advance. This will be asked in order that the committee might make its’ plans for the Thanksgiving Of- fering even before the Synod meets in annual session in September. Since his election as a Board member last fall, Rev. Mathis, pastor of the Trinity Ave- nue Church in Durham, has been unable to attend a meeting of the Regents because of illness. His regret. S. Parks Durham, was chosen to fill the unexpired term.

Classification _Warrenton Sunday School and | Kings Mountain Presbytery were respective leaders of individual Sunday Schools and Presbyteries in their per capita giving to the Orphanage in 1937-1938 through the regular Sunday School Offer- ings. Warrenton Sunday School displaced Vass as the individual leader, while Kings Mountain con- tinued to lead all other Presbyter- ies in per capita Sunday School giving and substantially strength- ened her leadership over the other eight in the Synod of North Caro- lina. _The per member average for Warrenton Sunday School was $2.12 per enrolled person. Vass, the 1936-1937 leader, dropped from first to third, with North Wilkes- boro easing in for second place. Last year’s leader gave more nu- merically in 1937-1938 than in 1936-1937, but thle membership of the Sunday School was larger, and this consequently lowered the average per member. Vass contin- ued to be the leader in per capita giving in Fayetteville Presbytery, and Warrenton and North Wilkes- boro naturally led in their respec- tive Presbyteries of Granville and Winston-Salem. Other Presbytery leaders were Mayo Mission in Albemarle with an 85-cent average; Concord First in Concord, $1.47; Crainerton in King’s Mountain, $1.17; Rocking- ham in Mecklenburg, $1.74; Yan- ceyville in Orange, ninetysim cents; and Lake Waccamaw in Wilmington, $1.36. Presbyteries showing per cap- ita increases in Sunday School giv- ing and the amount of the in- creases over 1936-1937 were: Al- bemarle, 4.8 cents; Kings Moun- tain, 2.9 cents; Mecklenburg, 2.7 cents; Fayetteville, 2.4 cents, and Orange, nine-tenths of a cent. Those decreasing were Winston- Salem, 4 cents; Wilmington, 2.1 cents; Granville, 2 cents; and Concord, six-tenths of a cent. Syn- od showed a net gain of eight- tenths of a cent.

XV BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., JULY, 1938 NO, 10 PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME FOR THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS REYNOLDA CaURGH LEADS ALL IN PER CAPITA GIVING Replaces Patterson.—First Five in Concord and Win- ston-Salem Presbyteries. Reynolda Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Presbytery re- turned to its leadership role in per capita giving in the Synod of North Carolina in 1937-1938. Rey- nolda was the leader in 1935-1936, but was shoved back to third place in 1936-1937 by Patterson and Con- First Churches in Concord Presbytery. However, teynolda jumped from third position a year ago to first in the recently con- | cluded year. Last year’s leader, Patterson, slipped back to fourth place, while Concord First maintained its hold on second position. North Wilkes- | boro up to third place as against fourth in 1936-1937. Since Winston-Salem First was in fifth place, it gives three of the five churches to Winston-Salem Presbytery and two to Concord. | That was the same division of the first five places a year ago, though the ranking of these five churches underwent some changes in 1937- 1938. | These five churches and 75} others in the Synod of North Caro- lina made up the 80 churches that the minimum need of ten cents per month from the Presby- terians of the Synod to operate the Orphanage. This is a net loss cord eased first met of three churches reaching this minimum amount, for there were 83 churches attaining this average a year ago. Fifteen of last year’s 83 churches feel below the .20 a year aver- age. These were Cann Memorial, Gvuidsboro and Howard Memorial in Albemarle Presbytery; Dunn, Godwin and Shiloh in Fayette- ville; Hephzibah, New Hope, Un- ion Mills and West Avenue in Kings Mountain; Candor in Meck- lenburg; High Point First in Or- ange; Asheweod in Wilmington, and Lexington First and Mount Airy in Winston-Salem. Newcomers, however, numbered 12 to partially offset the above loss of 15. Those classified in 1937- 1988 and who not in the grouping a year ago are: Centre, Marion and Morganton in Concord Presbytery; Fairmont and South Fayetteville in Fayetteville; Cram- erton and Rutherfordton in Kings Mountain; Pittsboro in Orange: Elizabethtown, Mount Horeb and Wilmington First in Wilmington, and Eikin in Winston-Salem. Twenty-six churches averaged hetween $1.00 and $1.19; 59 were between $0.75 and $0.99; 72 aver- were aged between $0.50 and $0.74; 122 from $0.25 to $0.49, and 135 aver- aged less than 25 cents per per- son.

The president of the Class wrote that he hoped his Class would be in the 50.00 Club by the end of the but from the magnif that June first Sunday response of $7.00 it seems likely that the Mount Holly Men’s Bible Class will be much closer to the $100.60 classification. Oak Plain and Pink Hill Sun- day Schoels_ in Wilmington Presbytery, have adopted the plan of sending the fifth Sun- day Offerings to Barium. This was inaugurated in May at both places, and the initial gifts have been received. Contributions from Union Sunday School in Fayetteville Presbytery and Camp Greene in Mecklenburg were received in June, but it hasn’t been learned yet whether these two places are following a regular procedure whether these were simply special donations. or it is known that some other Sunday Schools, which could not adopt a definite program, have sent special gifts to Ba- rium recently. YOUNG PEOPLE OF FAYE DRPHANAGES DELIBERATE From The Children’s Home Chron- sala icle. A bit of history was made when six delegates, three young men and three young women, from each of five child caring institutions recently assembled in the Brown Memorial Building at the Chil- dren’s Home to discuss their social and religious opportunities and responsibilities. So far as known this was the first attempt on the part of orphanage young people to get together to discuss without fear of favor their own situations and to express any desire for mod- ifications or additions to the d- regulations under which the live. Delegations from the Pres- byterian Orphans’ Home at Ba- rium Springs, the National Or- phans’ Home at Lexington, Mill Home at Thomasville and _ the Methodist Protestant Children’: Home at High Point joined our delegation in these free and frank discussions.

Part of them could be awake and part of them sleeping with- out disturbing the sleepers. Tuesday was an ideal day. The swimming arrangements were or-/ canized and the old Catawba river had one busy day! Not only Tues- day, but Wednesday, Thursby, Friday and Saturday - twice a day - the whole bunch went out and thought up more different ways to enjoy the water than any hun- dred grown people could think up by concentrating a year. “The most popular place in the river was the shoals, where the water was swift and made a _ lot of noise, and acted awfully dan- gerous; but after all, it was just like puppies growling - it was all in fun. One of the most delightful fea- tures of the camp was the fact that the Catawba River at that one spot has more safe territory than any other place on it. There is at least four acres of shallow water with sandy bottom that even the small children can play in it in safety. 3 We won't attempt to describe (Continued On Page Three) i great jof 1963, |most consistent annual the | That folk on a camp the Ferguson, friends of a graduate Class who is one of the “returners” to the celebrations interest to Roland 8. 2 ang Home-Coming each fall: “Mr. and Mrs. Rowland.

It is to the honor and credit | being made, the names of deceased | of 258 churches or mission points in the Synod of North Carolina that they surpassed the 1936-1937 giving to Barium Springs during | the 1937-1938 fiscal year. We hope that every one of those 258, and many more, will be credited with a | similar attainment when 1938-1939 has ended. —P. 0. H.— Quite a few individuals have recently agreed te aid the Or- phanage with direct monthly do- nations. All told, those who have definitely Committed themselves to monthly contributions in recent months will give close to $450.00 to the Orphanage in a year’s time. Such is highly gratifying and tremendously encouraging. ey It is great that 69 churches or mission points in the Synod could last year give the largest sums that they have contributed to the Home in the past dozen years. Plenty of congratulations are ex- tended to these 69 groups. May they all establish other new highs in 1938-1939, and may many other churches join them before the cur- rent year has been concluded. —P. 0. H.— Although 1938-1939 is only one- fourth gone, the Sunday Schools Concord First, Albemarle and Burlington First are already mem- bers of the $100.00 Club. Their offerings in April, May and June were of such magnificent propor- tions as to make this announce- ment possible. We are proud of ot them. A year ago at this time only Concord First Sunday School had “made” that Club. —P. 0. H.— Have you visited the Orphanage at Barium Springs? If not, why not come to see us this summer? You'll be cordially welcomed at any time. A registration book has been purchased and the names of all our visitors during the year will be recorded, insofar as the people will register when they vis- it us. We’d like to have your name in that book. Quite a few names have already been written therein. —P. 0. H— Have you been keening up with those “Good News” items on the front page of The Messenger? Isn’t it great that we have been privileged to have such encour- aging items to print almost every month. We're hoping that we'll always have something for that space in The Messenger, which is being reserved for any organiza- tion who desires to join with the many others in contributing every month. —P. 0. H— There are 327 children at Ba- rium Springs today, and that’s the largest number of boys and girls who have been enrolled at the Or- phanage since April, 1932. That is already 10 more than were here in 1937-1938, and the intake has not yet been completed. We re- joice that the Synod of North Carolina has made it possible for the Orphanage to take in more children ‘by liftmg the cumber- some indebtedness that hovered over the Home a few years ago. Work in revising the mailing list of The Messenger goes on and on. That is never completed. There are always changes of residence | people have to be eliminated, and newcomers to churches have to be added. New names are cordially 'welcomed. Orphanage Secretaries in every Auxiliary are urged to see that all of their people receive ithe lictle paper. It costs the indi- vidual nothing, but it means a great deal to the Home for this others in the Synod of North Caro- lina in per capita giving. Similar felicitations are offered to Kings Mountain Presbytery for leading tions to the many, many Sunday Schools that showed per capita in- creases in 1937-1938. We would like to single out each one for special mention, but space forbids that. Facts about each, though, were obvious in last month’s Mes- senger when the tabulation for the entire Synod — prepared. Every member of the Men’s Fellowship Club of the Charlotte Second Church and every person ing Camp Fellowship on the Ca- tawba River should drop into the mer and see what a gorgeous time the children are having there. It that they added so much to the pleasure of the boys and girls at Barium Springs, and the children of other Orphanages who are be- ing invited to the camp. This has met a need at the Orphanage and it is something that is going to be of great benefit for a good many years to come. P. Oo. H— During the month of March, specific chnllenges that aggre- gated $809.35 were extended to 70 Sunday Schools in the Synod of North Carolina. Some off those challenges were very high, com- pared with the giving during the first 11 months, but were issued in an effort for each of those Sunday Schools to reach a certain total for the year. It is rather interesting that those 70 Sunday Schools gave $771.24 in March, which is only $38.11 short of the sum total that had been chal- lenged. The majority more than met the amounts suggested, which partially offset those that could not come up ~n challenge. Early in May a request was received from one of the Auxil- jaries in Orange Presbytery that them for the 1938 Thanksgiving Offering of that organization. “We fell down on our Offering in 1937," read the communication, “and we want to get started early this year.” They certainly did start early - eight months before Thanksgiving! We understand that the Auxiliary has decided, though, to open their mite boxes every three months and send what they have to Barium Springs, instead of waiting until Thanksgiving to open them. This is commendable. The money will surely help. If the Auxiliary wants it recorded as Thanksgiving Offering such can be done at Barium Springs. paper to reach every Presbyter- ian home. —P. 0.

Have we got some news to tell this month! The Synod’s boys and the An- nie Louise girls were the “pio- neer” campers last week at Camp Fellowship on the Catawba Riv- er. Miss Turner, Miss Brandon, Miss Anne Fayssoux and Mr. and Mrs. George Nee] were our sen- ior counsellorg, Miss Carpenter was with us about half the time. There isn’t room in this paper to tell about all the fun we had at the river. We crammed swim- ming, fishing, boatriding, and eat- |ing into all the time when we were |not practicing for the tournament. We had a good time with the |hop scotch, horseshoe, bubble | blowing, marbles, jump rope, jack |rocks, and checker contests. When it got dark we gathered around the campfire until it was bedtime. We {had our vespers around the fire. After that, we would sing and tell ghost stories. | Horace Smith is the champion \fisherman of gur crowd. He caught fourteen ‘ish in two days. None of us could beat that. We had two little collie dogs |Mrs. Johnston gave us for camp |;companions. They were fun to | play with. | We had a lot of visitors. Mr. | McBride conducted vespers one night. Dr. Hoffman gave a nature talk. Myr. Culbreth gave us chew- }ing gum. | If you see the pictures taken of us in the rapids you can tell how much fun we had. If you visit us now you will hear about nothing but the camp. In another month we will feel all dressed up with the front of our house plastered and painted. Amos Hardy, Bennet Baldwin and Wilbur Coats moved to Lees Cottage as soon as we got back from the camp. Hervey Strickland and Leland Rogers have gone to Alexander Cottage. We have five boys from the Baby Cottage to take their place. They are Curtis Baldwin, John Smith, Herman Smith, Herbert Good and J. D. Everett. We have three new boys who got here in time to go to the camp. They are: Donald Ray Pet- ers, Collin Steed and Billy Ly- brandt. We went to see “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs”. It was geal good and we thank. Mr. Johnston for taking us to see it. So long until next month. HOWARD COTTAGE Hello Folks, This is bean the stringers speaking. We are glad to write to you again. Some of us went to the camp this week and they en- joyed it. We want to thank Mr. Johnston and all those responsible for making it possible for us to go there and have such a good time. Some of our girls are going on their vacations this week. They are jJean and Anne McDonald, Jackie Newnam and Mae Allen Barrett. We will miss them very much and hope they have a good vacation. We have a new girl at our cot- |tage. Her name is Edna Mae Ma- | ple. We are very glad to have her with us. Saturday afternoon Miss Mc- Dade took us to the spring and we had a good time. That is all for this time. So long, —Ruth May BABY COTTAGE Hi folks, Seems only yesterday they were calling for news and now they are here again. Time surely flies, doesn’t it? Since we wrote you last we have lost five of our babies: J. D. Ev- erett, Herbert Good, Curtis Bald- win, Herman Smith have gone to Synod’s to live with Miss Taylor and her family at Synod’s. Kathleen Monroe has gone to Annie Louise to live with Mrs. Holton and her girls. But in the meantime we have three new ones. Rachel and John Bullard and Mar- ion Maples. We are very glad to have them come live with us. Some of our larger brothers and sisters went to the camp last week. We smaller ones felt rather left out. But Mr. Johnston took us down there one’ morning and gave us a box of “Big Apple” candy. So we felt much better. Mama O’Kelly spent the last week-end at home and we were very glad to have Miss Sadie Eudy stay with! us. We sure are having lots of fruit and you bet your life we truly en- joy it. Essie Jean Lee has returned from her vacation and she reported a good time. Frances Stricklin News From Some Of The Cottages went home last Thursday. We hope she has a nice time. Kenneth Mayhew and Tommy Rhyne have had visits from their people recently. They always en- joy seeing them. We wish to thank Mr. Johnston for paying our way to see “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.” We thoroughly enjoyed it. Ray Powell] has received ther clothing box. She was thrilled to death! over her clothes. They sure- ly were cute. Last Saturday night Mama O’- Kelly and the big girls made us some ice cream for supper and was it good! O boy! ; Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Holt, of Bur- lington, came to see us Monday, June 20 and brought us some can- dy. We were glad to have them visit us. We are aiso thankful for the candy. You will hear from us_ next month. So long, —The Babies CARPENTERS Hello Folks, This is the carpenter group coming to you through The Ba- rium Messenger. It has been a long time since you last heard from us and we have been busy making and re- pairing buildings since school. We, with’ the help of some old Barium graduates who are now at college, have finished the camp on the Catawba River and it has al- ready been put in use. Our camp has many modern luxuries such as: running water and electric lights. At the present we are repairing some of the cottages and the home of Mr. Lackey, a farm worker. All of us are thinking about va- cations and many are now on their vacations. Everyone here is going to have a week at the camp this summer. A few have already gone and come back. They reported a nice time. That’s about all for this time so we must say so long until next time. —Bobby Adams YOUNG PEOPLE MEET (Continued From Page One) dren’s Home, Joe Boyd, of the National Orphans’ Home, and Miss According to agreement, older members of orphanage staffs were not in attendance upon the meet- ing, with the exception of Miss Sarah Richardson, young people’s counsellor at the Children’s Home, Miss Margaret Bui'nsides, coun- selor at the Methodist Protestant Children’s Home, and Miss Mary Ella McCredie, Mills Home. These younger mem- bers of orphanage staffs were auditors and not active partici- pants. It is reported that the discus- sions of the young people centered around the social and religious op- portunities in their own institu- tions and what they were doing with them. The afternoon session dealt with social privileges and the evening meeting with religious opportunities. Quite a number of the delegates gave accounts of privileges they enjoyed at their home institutions. They vied with one another in recounting the hap- py experiences which they enjoy. They surprised themselves as they recounted what they had to tell to others. As the discussicns went inti more serious channels thle young people began to evaluate the importance they were placing upon their opportunities and how they Memorial contributions to the Orphanage in 1987-1938 totaled $747.05. which was $250.40 more than was sent in 1936-19387. The majority of that $747.05 was in lieu of flowers for funerals. though there were an increased number of pecple who honored loved ones, whose earthly careers were ended a good many years ago. That $747.05 does not include $300.00 given in 1987-1938 by an individual who is establishing a memorial at the Orphanage, and which is kept separate from the | general run of memorial contribu- tions. Since November, 1936, this individual has sent to Barium a total of $627.50, which will be part of the memorial to be set aside when the donations reach $1,000.00. That person could not give all of the money at one time, but de- /eided to periodically send what ‘he could spare and thus build up ‘this memorial over a period of | years. were using them. The evening meal was not only an occasion for satisfying their physical appetites but one for en- gaging in wholesome social inter- course. Gathering in the new James A. Gray Building, the dele- gates felt free to exchange greet- ings, tell jokes and sing songs in such a way as to break down all formalities and encourage gen- uine comradeship. In fact, one of the best features of the meeting was getting acquainted with one another when fellowship was a predominating idea. About the on- ly time orphanage youngsters have been privileged to get together has been when an athletic contest was being played and each dele- gation was cheering for its team to win so lustily as to not give much of an opportunity for the boys and girls to love one another. The young people voted to con- tinue the conferences.

It was also voted to have two meetings @ year, one in the fall and one in 'the spring. Officers elected for the next meeting are: Miss Vir- ginia, Daniels, Children’s Home, president; David Flowers, Presby- terians Orphans’ Home, vice-presi- dent; and Frank Bailey, Mills Home, secretary. | Howard Gorman made the report for the findings committee and was instructed to write out and present it to the Tri-State Confer- ence of Orphanage Workers which met at Epworth Orphanage, Col- umbia, South) Carolina, the fol- lowing week. Mr. Gorman made his report before this conference and was received with delight and great appreciation.

Meals | The giving of the Sunday Schools in the first three months of 1938- 1939 would Have served 32,205 meals at the Orphanage, at the rate of ten cents per meal per child, which is always used as a basis, even though the actual cost |per meal is less than that. This is 11573 meals less than could have been served in the same pe- riod a year ago, which means that the Sunday Schools gave the Or- Phanage $157.29 less in the first quarter in the current year than in the same months of 1937-1938.

M E SSENGER ———= JULY, 193 Camp Fellowship On the Catawba River You will find mention of this in every cottage letter from now on until snow falls. Sneaking of puppies, a neighbor gave us two small collie pups, and they are part of the camp equip- ment. They get awfully lonesome when there are no little boys to play with them, and when they get tired of the boys, they just go right under the house and rest up. They furnish a lot of fun and get a lot of fun out of the camp. Before we close _ this article we want to hand some bouquets to the sheep. You remember our first descrip- | tion of the camp in a former is- sue of The Messenger. It was one mass of honeysuckle, poison oak and cane. We despaired of getting it cleaned up enough for this year, but we did make a_ start at it, and then fenced this in and put some sheep in it. Those sheep first ate every sprig of poison oak that there was in the camp site, then they worked on the honeysuckle and then the cane, and they did such a grand job of it that not one single case of poison oak pois- oning resulted from our week's camp. There were a lot of stump- ed toes and cut feet from stumps and roots, but the sheep just couldn’t quite handle this in one summer. We believe that they will have it all in ship-shape by next summer so that even a stumped toe will be a rarity. Even when we have a stumped toe, it isn’t altogether a calamity. | Mr. Allen Mills and his daughter, | Mildred, presented us with a beau- | tiful first-aid cabinet and it has so many things in there that it looks like every emergency was anticipated.

Synodical Orphanage Secretary Says To the Women of North Carolina Synedical Auxiliary. Dear Friends, it’s summer time, vacation time and time for that visit to Barium Springs. Some of you have al- ready given yourselves the joy of a whole day spent at the Orphan- age. Others of you are doubtless planning to do this very thing and there are yet so many others who have not definitely decided that one of the most interesting and happy events of the summer will be such a visit. When your Presbyterial Orphan- age Work Secretaries met in May, they decided that one of the best things we could do was to ask just as many of our women as possible to learn to know the Or- phanage at first hand by going and seeing for themselves. And so |we planned.

If this objective is reached and every Auxiliary in our whole Syn- |odical has the personal touch with this heart center of our church, a |new day of information, inspiration jand zeal lies ahead. Perhaps you are going to Mon- treat. Why not stop over at Ba- rium? Perhaps you are going to the sea. Why not stop ove |Barium? Perhaps you are going to points North, South, East or West; why not stop over at Ba- rium? Perhaps you are spending the summer at home. Why not plan one day at Barium? If a group is going, send a card ahead and you will have one of the most interesting of your va- cation experiences. Go and see! Faithfuly yours, (Mrs. C. E.)

Fred Cole has a new nickname, “Tubbie.” We sure are having lots of rain. We have been having a play every Friday night. Everybody be sure and come see them. Fred Cole is the manager of the plays. Bobbie Allen moved from the Baby Cottage, and now stays at Synod's. John Ammons’ people sent him and his brother some jack-rocks ind a water ball. They say that they sure enjoy playing with them. Miss Taylor has gone on a va- cation and won't be back till school starts. Lacy McCormick is going home to stay soon. We'll have to end now. —Raymond Good —Herman Blue —Fred Cole ANNE LOUISE Hello Folks, Here it is time to write you again when it seems only a short time since we wrote you last. Vacation time is just about over and school is around the corner. We surely will be glad when it be- gins. We want to thank Mr. Sams for viting us to see “Judge Hardy’s hildren,” not long ago. We en- joyed it very much. We are glad to have Dr. L. E. Buie, the state dentist, back with us again. He did not find very much work to do for us Annie Louise girls and told us that we were taking good care of our teeth. He has given each one of us several pieces of chewing gum. One of our girls, Betty Lou Davis, went to Connecticut, last week, to spend a month. We know she will have a lovely time. Our minister, Mr. Cook, and his family are at Montreat. We en- joy Mr. Cook’s sermons very much. We are having lots of peaches, grapes, and cantaloupes now. Good-by until next time. —Martha Price —Janie Smith RUMPLE HALL Hello Friends, It has been a long time since we wrote to you last, so we might have a lot to say. Our matron, Miss Mildred Stev- enson, has gone on a vacation. She is spending three weeks at Duke University in Durham. Miss Sadie Eudy, one of the older girls that has already graduated, is our ma- tron. We have five girls on a vaca- tion now. They are Betty Whittle, Annie Sue Wilson, Joyce Weeks, Lula Bell and Leona Hall. Twe of our girls, May Lynn Jones and last week. Juanita was ia an ac- cident in Greensboro but she did not get hurt except for a few seratehes on her hands and arm. All of our girls have been to camp except about seven and they are all looking foward to going on August 15th. We hope they have as good a time as we did the 11th through the 23rd of July. We vot- ed for the best campers. The gir! from Rumple Hall who won the week of the 11th was Louise Ev- erett and the one who won the week of the 18th was Bertha Lee Broome. Bertha Lee Broome’s _ sister came to see her Sunday from Char- lotte. We know Bertha was glad to see her. We thank Mr. Sams for inviting us to see “Judge Hardy’s Chil- aren, Now you've read it all Rumple Hall. from —May Lynn Jones —Louise Everett ALEXANDER Hello Everyone, How is everyone these days? We are all well and having a good time. Some of the boys went to the Camp about two weeks ago and they had a very nice time. Some of the boys are on their vacation and they have not come back. We miss them very much. Miss Reid has gone on her vacation and we hope she has a happy time. We have been getting fruit about every day and we get full and that goes for all of us. We will be seeing you. Good-by. We’ll write next time. —The House Cats and Dairy Rats LEES COTTAGE Howdy Folks! If you would visit Lees Cottage right now you would see us in the midst of getting ourselves “slick- ed up” with a remodeling job on the building. All of the first floor has been plastered and painted, so we feel as dressed up as if we had a new house. Of course the bath- room is no place to visit, but when you come to see us we will have to show you our pride and joy - a two-tone green bathroom. We will have the snappiest bathroom on the campus! Right now our matron, Miss Mary Turner, is at Duke Univer- <itv. taking a special orphanage course. She will be away for three weeks. During her absence Miss Ann Fayssoux Johnston is taking her place. Miss Stevenson and Miss Turner are the two Barium workers who are taking the course at Duke. Mr. Johnston will deliver some lectures at Duke while thev are there. Barium is well repre- sented, It makes us dizzy to try to keep up with the vacations of our boys.

Snydec Reed and Paul Reed (not brothers, but great pals) are the new boys to run out of boys! We are proud of so many of our boys being voted good campers at the last two camps. We hope you will review the camp honoc roll again and see how many of our boys are on the list. u We are having a big supply of grapes, peaches, and cantaloupes chese days. The swimming pool is a popular place, too! Some of our boys play tennis when it is not raining. We will close now for one more month, —wWilliam Allen —Roscoe Twombly TRUCK FARM Hello Everone, Gathering time. speaking. Most of our crops are already made, except our late cantaloupes, late tomatoes and peas. Most of our boys are back from their vacations. All of us had a wonderful time during our week at Camp Fellowship. Our Trish potato crop this year was around 550 bushels. Our can- taloupe crop isn’t going to be what we expected, due to so much rain, then hot spells, and the worms. We are gathering corn, okra, beans, cantaloupes and tomatoes these days. Most of our tomatoes now are being used for canning purposes and tomato juice. We also had a large onion crop this year, and our peanuts are stepping out after our replanting them. Brian Whitley and Ralph Wall, two truck farmers, have gone home to stav. » Only a month ‘til school starts and most of us wil) be glad to start back, because then football js here once more. All of the ones who didn’t get a vacation are looking foward to the camping trip starting August 22nd. Well, folks. we will close now.

You see it is not long. ; Some of our girls who didn’t get a vacation are working in the canning house. Miss Adams, our matron, went to visit her friends for a week in Statesville and Miss Anita Ghigo was a good substitute. We liked her very much. Must say good-bye. —Mary Parks Allen HOWARD COTTAGE We are enjoying the swimming | pool these hot days. Several of our girls are out on | vacations now and some have re- | turned. We are enjoying the nice peach- es and grapes we are having now. We appreciate Mr. Sams’ invi- | tation to see “Judge Hardv’s Chil- | dren” at the Playhouse. It was a} verv good picture show.

Miss Woods returned from her vacation and we are glad to have her back with us again. —The Bean Stringers INFIRMARY Howdy Folks, We're writing the Infirmary news to tell you how we are get-/} tine along.

Areonautics au- thority, * *.* ” The above newspaper dispatch from the Washington (D. C.) branch of The Charlotte Observer will be of particular interegt to those alumni of Barium Spgs who were here shortly after the establishment of the Home at its present locality. My. Harllee Branch was the 87th child accepted into the Orphanage, entering the Home on October 22, 1893, from Morven. He was the 61st to leave. When he became 16 years of age three years later he left Barium and obtained work with the Statesville Cotton Mills, later be- coming employed by The States- ville Daily. It was customary in the early days of the Home for boys and girls to leave the Orphan- age when they became 16 years old. In the spring, Mr. Branch ac- companied Postmaster General James A. Farley on a tour through North Carolina. A stop was made at the postoffice at Barium. My. Branch remarked about his resi- dence here and that he had lived at Synod’s Cottage. There were only two cottages at the Orphanage then - Synod’s and Annie Louise - both of which had been built in 1892 - the year before Mr. Branch was accepted into the Home. James F. Reynolds, a Barium alumnus of the Class of 1903, has been elevated to the post of man- aging editor of The Greensboro Daily News and The Greensboro of our faculty members and assist- ant football coach. He is now away at E. C. T. C. at Boone for sever- al days. He is attending the coach- | ing school. Dr. Buie, the dentist, is here now so our cottage is quite popu- lar. We all think much of Dr. Buie. Some of the children here call him “Uncle”. Lots of us ean hardly wait for our time to go see him and get our chewing gum. Charles MeNatt is visiting his mother. He received his degree from the University of North Carolina and will teach school this fall at Gray’s Creek High School near Fayetteville. J was on the lest Barium camp- ing trip which was quite a success We enjoyed it in every way in | spite of the rain and wet weather. We are quite sure that we will have pleasant memories of it al- ways. Geraldine Blue and Lilly Me-| Donald are looking forward to the | camping trip beginning August | 15th. That will take most of our family away from down here. Billy Brock has been on his va- | eation with his aunt and uncle at Tar Heel, N. C. We are sure having plenty of fruit and cantaloupes this year. School days are just around the proverbial corner and we are all looking forward to another year with our teachers and classmates. So long until next month, —Billy Brock FARM NEWS For the past few weeks we have had so much rain that the work on the farm has been mostly odd jobs such as campus work, repair Il machinery and between show- ers we managed to get up a few loads of hay. We have a very good corn crop this year and an abundant hav crop. In fact, we have so much hay, that we have not enough room to store it and have bailed almost 460 bales of it for winter. This bailed hay will be stored in our straw storage, where it will be saved for a lean hay year. We expect to make around 350 tons of alfalfa and about 125 tons of lespedeza this year. Back to corn, we could say it is good and had a good yield. Our plans to harvest corn this yea have been changed from hereto- fore. The custom has been to shred the corn and use the roughness for feed and bedding, but since we didn’t have the room, the corn will be pulled in the fields, hauled to the barn and shucked with the | shredder. We expect about 1800 | bushels. There is a newcomer to the farm lately. A most pleasant and very beautiful’ mare mule colt. We named her Dinah. Dan and Daisy, the two horse colts were two years old this past spring, | 1.580 pounds and Daisy weighs 1,- 560 pounds. We hope to have a picture of all three of the colts in The Messenger soon. When any of our friends and readers visit Barium, don’t for- get to look over the farm. We are from their vacations. The McCall | been real hot one day and then the! always glad to have you come.

Thompson-Stone Wedding From The Statesville Daily. “The Little Joe’s Presbyterian church at Barium Springs was scene of a pretty marriage Friday morning, July 15th, at 10 o’clock when Miss Velma Bernice Stone was wed to Charles Willard Thompson. “Ferns were grouped around the pulpit of the church and baskets of Queen Anne’s Lace, arranged among the ferns, formed a back- ground for the service. Rey. Tom C. Cook, Pastor of Little Joe’s church, was the officiating min- ister. “The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Joy Stone, as the maid- of-honor. The ushers were Messrs. Charles Gallyon, of Statesville, and David Flowers, of Barium Springs. “Just before the entrance of the bridal party Miss Lugene White. of Barium Springs, Pianist, played ‘The Rosary, and ‘I Love You Truly.’ During the ceremony Mac- Dowell’s ‘To A Wild Rose’ was played softly. The bridal chorus from Lohengrin, Wagner, was the processional and the Mendelssohn wedding march was plaved as the wedding party left the church. “The bride and bridegroom en- tered together.

That was slightly more than was given in July, 1937, but the gain last month was not sufficient to overcome some decreases noticed in the Sunday School gifts earlier in the year. At present, the Sun- day Schools have given $125.13 less than they sent to Barium in the first four months of 1937-1938. Six Sunday Schools have already made the $100.00 Club, with Albe- marle leading all others with $147.03 contributed. The other five $100.00 Sunday Schools are Con- cord First, $145.96; Winston-Sa- lem First, '3136. 88; Tenth Avenue, $122.23; Salisbury First, $120. 00, and Burlington First, $117.46.

Almost half ot the aggregate, $4,768.49, has come through the Sunday School Offer- ings; $3,216 42 has been apportion- ed to this Home by Church bud- gets, and the Auxiliaries have con- tributed $1,658.72. On a percentage basis, this is 49.4% from the Sun- day Schools, 33.4% from Church budgets and 17.2% from the Aux- iliaries. Mecklenburg Presbytery leads in the amount that has been sent through Church budgets, with $1,- 171.3 that sum is the payment of 1937 Thanksgiving pledges); $888.80 has come from the Sunday Schools in Fayetteville Presbytery, to give the latter the lead in that department, and Auxiliaries in Or- ange Presbytery lead with $386.90.

On November 25th. the day after Thanksgiving, the final fracas of the season wil! be plaved; Concord the foe, Barium the place. Take a look at this schedule: Barium meets the six best elevens in the South Piedmont Conference four Class A opponents, and one} of the strongest teams in the Western Conference. It looks like | a busy fall for everybody and we} predict a happy one. Every one of these teams are good outfits. Sometimes they beat Barium. sometimes Barinm heats them. but win or lose, they still stay friends. We wish we could give you the 100-pound schedule. but this is not arranged until September. The maiority off the games will be with other Orphanages. Last vear this 100-pound team played Chil- dren’s Home, Junior Order, Ox- ford, two games apiece and one game each with Raleigh Methodist Orphanage and Catholic Orphan- age, and two games with States- ville.

The net difference between the totals for July of both years was $177.24. You will recall, though, that Synod’s donations were on the positive side on June 30th, to the |tune of $56.70. This whittled down that loss to that extent, and made the difference in the first four months a minus sum of $120.54. However, it is confidently be- lieved at Barium Springs that a positive figure will be possible when the monthly table of receipts is prepared on August 31, 1938. The income from Synod in August, 1937, was $2,373.60. Surely Synod will give more than that in the current month. Winston-Salem Presbytery bare- ly nosed out Albemarle Presbytery for per capita leadership in July, and holds first place because the former Presbytery has given one- tenth of a cent more than the lat- ter. Mecklenburg’s performance in July was responsible for it advanc- | ing to third place - a position that | Orange occupied in June.

The mini- mum needed in those four months was 40 cents per Presbyterian in the Synod. That’s 29.6 cents less per Presbytery, and when you multiply that by the 84,582 Pres- byterians now inthe Synod of North Carolina you’ll find the fig- ure to be $25,037.17.

CHANGES IN STAFF success as a wife (we almost (Continued From Page One) place possibly we | John Wesley Ervin. |} about a year ago. Mr. Bob Nesbitt | had been doing the repair work | for quite some time, and left us and was succeeded by Mr. Ervin, | who came to work right at the time when a lot of renair work was going on. The repair of Mr. | Lowrance’s house fell to him, and then during the winter and spring, the plans for the building of the camp out on the river fell to his lot. The lion’s share of the credit for the fine success of the camp belongs to Mr. Ervin and his crew. In the school there are several changes. Mrs. Holton has retired from the seventh grade, and her work will be taken up by Mr. Har- ry Barkley, long-time neighbor of Barium. He came straight from Erskine College to Troutman, where he taught for a number of years, and then for several years was at Scotts. He has been many times at Barium; as a visitor, as a competitor, and sometimes as en official in our football games. We are glad for both Mr. and Mrs. Barkley to move in and be- lone to our family. Old man Cupid stepped up and caused a vacancy in our faculty by taking our nice Home Econom- |ics teacher, Miss Vivian Hilton, away from us, after her first year | here. We can’t blame Cupid nor his accomplice because we know Miss Hilton will be just as grand should mention | the carpenter and head repair man, | He came to us | ; & | said as a head of a family) as she was a Home Economics teacher at Barium. We miss her lots but can only wish her success and happi- ness. Her place will be taken by Miss Helen John Wright of | Charlotte. Miss Wright is a grad- uate of Queens-Chicora and has ltaught at Marion, N. C. She was jalso dietitian at St. Peter’s Hos- pital for several summers. While ;at college she was president of the Home Economics Club and a member of the leadership frater- |nitv. We are all loking forward with lively anticipation to know this newest member of our faculty. Everybody seems to be working up enthusiasm for the school; it won't |be long now when we will take off for the 1938-1939 session, which we believe is going to be the best ever. —P. 0.

The _ second 1938 the past summ boro early in September, that body accepted the recomendatien of the | Board of Regents that an Orphan- | age committee be appointed for a two-year term and that it “concern itself toward building up a larger | month-to-month income, as well as | placing due and proper emphasis | upon the Thanksgiving Offerings | of 1938 and 1939.” For the past several years, the Syrod has appointed a_ special Thanksgiving Offering committee, which functioned during the im- mediate months prior to the an- nual Thanksgiving response. These special committees have done a wonderful piece of work in sub- stantially increasing the annual Thanksgiving donations, but the two-year committee that has been appointed is not only responsible for working toward a good Thanks- giving remembrance, but after that time it will do what it can toward increasing the regular do- nations. The general chairman of this Orphanage committee is J. Archie Cannon, of Concord, who has head- ed the Thanksgiving special com- mittee for four years. Mr. Cannon appeared before Synod in Greens- boro this month and in his re- marks to that body urged the adoption of the Offering-per-month plan in all Sunday Schools, which would seem to indicate one field in which this committee expects to function in increasing the month- to-month support. Wording of the recommendation adopted by Synod, upon the Re- gents’ recommendation, and_ the the personnel of this Orphanage committee is as follows: “The Board of Regents recom- mends to the Synod of North Caro- lina that it appoint, at its 1938 stated meeting, an Orphanage Committee of ten men to serve un- til the 1940 meeting of Synod. The personnel of this committee will include a general chairman and one person for each of the nine Presbyteries. “It is further recommended that this ecommitte> concern itself to- (Continued On Page Two) Thanksgiving response was Granville Presbyterial is en- $/| J handed to an of al of the |} deavoring to nish 200 sheets 3} September ist, delivered the main | Orphanage on Sunday, Sep- | $ to the Orphanage. address at the formal opening of tember 11th, after he had Wilmington Presbyterial is $| the local schools for the 1938-1939 spoken in the Little River 2 endeavorins raise a special §| scholastic session. sum of $232.00 ti rear, which will complete paying for all equipment in the Domestic Science Department. $| This Presbytevial gave the cook ¢ stove and utensils last year— Church in Orange Presbytery.

J. G. GARTH, D. D. Publicity Clerk of Synod The Synod of North Carolina |met in Greensboro on Sept. 6, 7, and 8th at the Church of the Covenant, of which Rev. R. Mur- | phy Williams has been pastor since its organization in 1906. The church ‘has a splendid audi- torium and has recently built ad- | joining Educationa! Building at a cost of $80,000, making the plant 1 modern in every respect. The pas- tor has a full corps of helpers on his staff. Mrs. H. J. Williams is church secretary, and Mrs. Edgar Allred is Director of Religious Education and has charge of stu- dent work in the Women’s College of the University of North Caro- lina located near by with about | 2,000 students. The Synod is self-entertaining and the members were quartered in the dormitories of the college as the institution had not opened. The meals were also served there. Next year the Synod will meet under similar circumstances at Greenville in East Carolina Tea- chers’ Cellege, another state insti- tution. Davidson College invited the Synod but the body chose Greenville this time. An interesting decision made was with reference to student work supported by the Synod, which was to place the responsi- bility of Presbyterian students in state colleges on the Religious which is concerned with other youth work. Rev. J. R. McGregor, Th. D., of Burlington retiring moderator, preached the opening sermon. | Rev. W. M. Fairley, D. D., of Rae- !ferd, was chosen as moderator.

They dared the Treasurer of the Or- phanage to use that money in any other way than for a be- ginning on Alexander Cottage. § Furthermore, that $13.65 was contributed - sight unseen. In other words, the Secretaries took the word of the Presbyter- ial Orphanage Secretary that Alexander Cottage was in a sad physical state, and they gave $13.65 before they ever saw the building. Maybe it would have been wiser to take the Offering after a tour of inspection. Un- doubtedly, the sum given would have been even more.

On a_ percentage basis, this showed 48.8% from Sunday Schools; 33.8% f rom Church apportionments, and 17.4% from the Auxiliaries. The net difference in all of the giving for the comparative period of five months in 1937-1938 and 1938-1939 is $31.72 in favor of the former year. According to the or- ganizations, church budgets have sent the Orphanage $359.04 more than last year, while the Sunday Schools have given $280.14 less and the Auxiliaries have sent $110.62 less.

Among the 33 children without clothing people are boys and girls ranging from four years of age throuzh 18 years of age. Such a situation means that an individual or organization can get a child to clothe for 11 years, or they can be assigned a boy or girl for a single year, for those 18 years of age will graduate next spring. This in- formation is given, for oftentimes a person desires to obligate him- self or herself for a limited period | of time.

Some vears ago - before the de- pression - $45.00 a year was sent for the clothing. No advancement has been made in the askings, de- spite the increased cost of cioth- ing. at the Concord Secretaries’ meet- ing. There was a fine spirit of loy- alty and zeal manifested. Discus- sion was even continued through- out lunch, when Mrs. Belk was our gracious hostess. Word comes today that Orange Orphanage Work Secretaries are coming to Barium for a like meeting on the 29th or 30th. That’s splendid! How glad we are, as each group thus comes together. Let every Presbyterial Secretary present Barium at district meet- ings, and I hope to see you at Syn- odical in Raleigh, Ortober 18th and 19th. The ladies who attend the Syn- odical meeting at Raleigh next month have a great treat in store for them when the Orphange cause is presented. This will be done by Rev. Chester Alexander, pastor of the Howard Memorial Church in Tarboro and a member of _ the Board of Regents. Rev.

Page Three The Barium Messenger COPS P PIP SLED LOL E DEOL L EL DILDDDOOL OLE ODO DOLOODOCOOL OLED OCDE L ED “The Village of Youth” ; Written by Jos. B. Johnston for The Tar Heel Woman: There is a place in Iredell County just halfway between the , the National Summer Resort of the Asheville district and the equally famous Winter Resort at Pinehurst-—-a place where the marvelous Sandhill Peach and Melon Belt overlaps the Appa- 2 lachian Apple Belt; a place encircled by a ridge that divides the watersheds of the Yadkin and the Catawba; where something over three hundred children live and attempt to work out their destiny. 4 It is an Orphanage maintained by the Presbyterian Church in the Synod of North Carolina, but nature and circumstances have caused it to be much more than an Orphanage. We might say that it is an unique situation. Here young people soon learn that a successful life is based on the proposition that liv- > = ing is a co-operative affair, and on that proposition some amaz- ing results are evident. A time-honored policy of Orphans has been from time im- memorial, to plan to get things, and any visitor coming to an ‘§ Orphanage is expected to bring gifts. If an individual or group at an Orphanage needs something, the policy has been to hunt somebody that is able to give that thing, and thus procure it. From the children’s viewpoint it is almost entirely a proposition ¢ of getting. Many years ago this idea was changed at Barium, and the $ policy that now prevails is one in which the institution asks for things that can not be provided within itself, and both indivi- duaily and collectively, the institution strives to produce those other things that may be wanted. _ It might simplify it to express it this way: That the insti- tution looks to the supporting Church for its NEEDS; it looks to itself for its WANTS above those needs. The Church fur- nishes the cornbread, the individual efforts of the children $ themselves furnish the ice cream. Without going too much into detail, this policy over a pe- } riod of years has changed some of those time-honored Orphan- age traditions. When the institution wants something, it first tries to supply that want itself. If it is unable to do so, then to ask outside help. Sometimes the success in producing it is so great that they have something to spare, and this rare situation arises: That visitors can come to the Orphanage and at times be given something rather than be on the giving end altogether, ; and the thing that does for the personalities of the chil- dren living at Barium Springs, certainly proves the truth of 2 the proverb that “It is more blesed to give than to receive”. Through the efforts of the children at Barium, the insti- tution produces its own bread, meat, vegetables, milk, fruit, altogether 85% of the things that are eaten. The athletic program produces revenue enough to pro- vide for most of the recreational activities, and enables the in- stitution to play host to other schools and organizations in many of its recreational programs. What is the end result of such a policy? Well, people have said that a young man or woman who had been rearea at Barium Springs has a distinctive way of walking, talking and acting. They carry their chin up, their shoulders back, and look you straight in the face. They have helped work out problems that arise in the business of growing up. They have been the dispensers of good things as well as the revi- pients of good things, and they meet life, as a rule, un- af~aid. Barium Springs has a splendid staff of workers, and some- how they seem to imureve with the years just as the chil- dren do, under the aforementioned combination of nature and circumstances, Barium Springs is surrounded by neighborly friends. Among these friends are doctors who make the health pro- gram of this unique institution something that it might be well to set a national standard by. The treatment of disease is incidental; the discovery of symptoms that might lead to § «6s disease is the main part of the health program, and a state- > ment showing the success of this program is so unbelievable » that we hesitate to make it to anyone who can not verify the statement by actual investigation. Suffice it to say that vis- ; : 2 its of doctors to the campus, except for examination purposes, v4 are rare occurrences. Death has visited this group once in twelve years. Epidemies seem to detour, and abounding § «=o health seems to make its permanent abode at Barium. One other thing: Children are gathered into this insti- tution from all over the state of North Carolina, and when children are moved from a home, however humble, homesick- @ ness is bound to result. Barium Springs is ideally situated to make this malady quickly disappear. The little waif from the mountains will find enough hills to remind him of the coves and the peaks of the home community, and they can view old Grandfather top- ping the other mountains on the Western horizon, any time they feel that they must turn their eyes in that direction. At the same time, those newcomers from the Coastal Plain and the flat sections of our State, can find enough level land to feel safe and to see enough of the things that grow in those lush fields to restore their sense of security. Barium Springs, the village of perpetual youth, where there is a lot of fun, a lot of laughter, a lot of kindness—a lovely place to be. “ § ae a a ”. rrr a si se ae ceo - dl ies 4 e ar AUGUST RECEIPTS FOLLOW SUMMER PATTERN ° hubLY } Am’t.

This was the race of life - a race in which somebody had to take second place, a race that must be run with patience, and a race that has the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus as the ultimate goal. “TI warn you not to take too great an interest in athletics, but remember that you are going to school to train your mind. You'll think a great many things are un- important in school and will won- der why the teachers stress cer- tain things and to study all sub- jects. I ask you to trust your teach- ers and take their word for it. They are experts and their advice will be valuable.

Part cf each letter is quoted | below: | “Dear Brother Johnston: ; I am enclosing two checks, one for $25.00 and one for $44.00, cov- ering our expenses while at ‘Camp Fellowship’. The reason we are sending two checks is because they are charged to different funds. I fully realize this does not be- gin to cover your expenses, and | again Vv ‘e grateful to you for the pri e of the use of the | camp. We shall be looking forward to next year. Sincerely yours, W. M. SHUFORD, Supt. National Orphans’ Home.” or “Mr. J. B. Johnston i Barium Springs, N. C. | My Dear Friend Johnston: Enclosed you will find two checks, one for $6.88 for Ice and the other for $50.00, which I am sure will not begin to pay for the expenses of your camp for two weeks. Such privileges as you ex- | tended to us cannot be paid for in | money. It was a happy thought on your part and I want to thank | you most sincerely for the many courtesies extended to our group while attending the camp. It was a new experience and our workers, as well as the children, were greatly pleased and continue to talk about it. Most sincerely yours, I. G. GREER, Superintendent, Mills Home” “Mr. Joseph B. Johnston Barium Springs, N. C. My Dear Brother Joe: I am enclosing our check for $50, half of it to apply on the fee for the use of Camp Fellowship during last week and the other half coming as a donation from the Children’s Home to the camp pro- ject. We feel that $25 is too small an amount for the joy you and your camp gave us during the week. I really believe that our boys and girls who went to camp last week are back here in better shape line you don’t have time to ac- quire the mind of Christ it will be worth absolutely nothing. Many of the criminals of today,” said Mr. Cook “are college men. They didn’t run the Christian races or have the mind of Christ. Have your mind in tune with the heart of God. Let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus.” FINAL 1898 GIMP FELLOWSHIP NOTES > than those who came trooping in from visits to relatives and friends. To be sure, some of our younger boys and girls did not get enough sleep at camp but that was _ be- | cause we did not insist on it. The ; camp project is a very fine idea | and will be of inestimable worth to boys and girls as the summers come and go. We are mighty glad to be included as one of the guests to share in the project. | Cordially yours, 0. V. WOOSLEY | Superintendent, Children’s Home” sieges Fourth Camp Week | Following the procedure adopted j at the first camp on the Catawba )} River, the boys and girls attending for the fourth week made thei choices of the best boy and gir) ; camper, and the runners-up. Helen Price and Lee Spencer were the first choices for girl and boy, re- | spectively, and second honors went | to Grace Shroyer among the girls and to Billy McCall among’ the boys. No list was furnished for those honorably mentioned at that |particular week of camp. This ;jcamp was from August 15th through the 20th. 4 feature of this fourth week | was a division of the 72 campers ‘into four tribes, known as the Mo hawks, Chocktaws, Navajos and | Cherokees. The Mohawks won with 27 points which came through indi- vidual competition in games swimming, obstacle races and 2 , boat race. Final Camp Week The week of August 22nd throug); the 27th was the fifth and final week of camp for the Barium children. This group was made up of those boys and girls who did not have a vacation away from Barium during the past summer, and it was therefore their second week at Camp Fellowship, since every Barium boy and girl spent one week there. The final camp had slightly more than 100 children in it. Voted as the best girl camper was Gertie Smith and Arthur Roach and Lee Spencer were in a tie for this honor among the boys. Mabel Shoaf won second honors among the girls and William Smith took second place for the boys. At this final camp, honorable mention was given to families, in- stead of to individuals, for the children this time attended by families, since the several members | of each family did not go on va- cations. Families honorably men- tioned were Agnes and Grace Cop- pedge; Gertie, Flora Mae and Lilly Belle Smith; William, Janie and Stanley Smith, Alessandrini, Me- i kenzie, and Shoaf.

XVI BARIUM SPRINGS, N. ©. OCTOBER, 1938 NO. 1 PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME FOR THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS PLANS MADE BY ORPHANAGE COMMITTEE PUBLICITY CLERK WRITES OTORY OF SPECIAL PLANS Orphanage Committee Set January 5th in Greensboro As Time and Place to Meet Next From The Charlotte Observer, as written by Rev. J. G. Garth, D. D., Publicity Clerk of Synod. BARIUM SPRINGS, Oct. 4— The Synod’s special committee to handle the annual Thanksgiving of- fering for the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home here, which cares for 315 children as the wards of the church, met here today to plan the campaign which will be put on the week of November 20-27, which includes Thanksgiving Day. This committee, which was ap- pointed by the synod at Greens- boro iast month, consists of a gen- eral chairman, who is J. Archie Cannon of Concord, and nine men. each one representing his owr presbytery. The other nine men are Rev. H. K. Holland of Charlctite, J. L. Kendrick of Gastonia, L. L McGoogan of St. Pauls, Gettys Guille of Salisbury, W. H. Holder- | ness of Greensboro, T. C. Worth of Durham, T. L. Wood of Winston- Salem, R. B. Peters of Tarboro, | and J. H. Clark of Flizabethtown. Mr. Cannon, Mr. Holland and Ern- est Milton, treasurer of the Home, were appointed to the publicity committee. The committee of 10 is to function for two years. Plans Mapped Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the home, and Mr. Milton at- tended the conference, as did Rev. Chester Alexander of Tarboro, one of the regents of the home, and Rev. J. G. Garth, publicity clerk of the synod. Plans were made to present the needs of the Orvhanage to 84,000 Presbyterians of the Synod, so as to effect an adequate offering at Thanksgiving. This offering, it was explained, equals about half the gifts of the church for this cause for the year. The record high for gifts was in 1986 when the col- lection amounted to more than $51,300. Tt was also decided to en- list the Sunday Schools of the syn- od, so each wili set aside one Sun- day a month for the home. Not quite half the schools of the 543 churches of the synod do this now. It was explained that there are 10 times more applications for ad- mission of children into the home than can actually be received. Only children are now have lost both parents, or whose parents are not capable of giving the children a good home. State aid for mothers has changed the status of recipients. Opened In 1891 Barium Springs Home opened in 1891 under the auspices of the svnod, and the fiftieth anniver- sary will be celebrated three years hence. From one building, the in- stitution has grown to 40 buildings and 1,200 acres of land, on which a farm, orchards, a dairy, gardens which furnish agricultural and manual oecupations and employ- ment for the boys and girls which not only trains them for useful ectivity but also enables them to do much toward supporting the home. The children are also school- ed and trained religiously. The health of the home is such _ that enly one death has occurred since July, 1926. Fifty-five workers are ermvloyed by the home. The committee which met todav decided to hold quarterly mectings and planned to gather in Greens- boro on January 5. admitted who | HOMECOMING DAY 1 SET FOR NOVEMBER 1 This Annual Affair Will Be On Saturday.— Many Al- umni Expected to Return Home-Coming Day will be on November 19th, which is the Sat- urday before Thanksgiving. Every old Barium boy and girl is urged to mark this up on his or her calendar. We alternate Home- Coming Day from Friday to Satur- | day. Some people can get off from their work on Friday and can not do this on Saturday. Others can get off on Saturday and can not get off on Friday, Last year our Home-Coming Day was on Friday. This year, in order to give others a chance, it will be on Saturday. The weatherman has promised iine weather, the dining room crowd has promised a fine tinner, the football team has prom- ised a fine football game, and we want the alumni to promise a fine ittendance. Tn case you want to know, AI- bemarle will be the footbail team |to play Barium on that day. Al- {bemarle was picked because it | appeared to be the strongest team on Barium’s 1938 schedule - that is, of the conference {cause having put on a 12th grade in that school, they did not lose any of the players that made up their fine 1937 team. Albemarle has gotten off to a slow start, and has lost her early games, but this is going to make her all the harder to beat when November 19th rolls around. Bring the husband; bring the wife; bring the children: come and have a big time at the Old Home. i Thanksgiving Offering for $100.00 Is Received Add another 1938 Thanks- giving Offering to the twe that were listed in last month’s issue of The Barium Messen- ger. A friend of the Home read the special article in The Messenger about these two pre-season offerings and wrote out a check for $100.00 and dispatched it to the Orphanage with the clipping attached. This individual desired that his name be withheld from publication. In sending this check he stated that he usually sent his offering through a partic- ular Church in the Synod of North Carolina. He requested that this be credited as a part of that Church’s 1938 Thanks- giving Offering. This $100.00 check was mailed on October 7th, which was more than a ‘month and a_ half before Thanksgiving. Commendation is extended to the three individuals who have already sent us $110.00 on the 1938 Thanksgiving re- sponse. As stated last month, gifts at this particular junc- ture of the year are tremen- dously useful to Barium. be- cause of a scarcity of funds during the summer months and because of a large number of bills that have accumulated during the summertime period. The early arrival of these Thanksgiving Offerings is of great encouragement to of- ficials at Barium Springs. These gifts simply add to the enthusiasm that is already felt here over the approaching 1988 Thanksgiving Offering ' ~~ MARRIAGES Bryant-Taylor j Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Lucy Bryant, of Tarboro, to Vernon Taylor, of Fayetteville, the marriage taking | place in the early part of Septem- ber.

OFEERINE TAB'LATION I PREPARED It Shows the Amount of 1936 and 1937 Offerings and the Rest Response in 13 Years On pages three and four of this issue of The Barium Messenger is a tabulation of the Thanksgiving | Offerings 516 churches is- beayise bes! fferings of 516 churches or mis ion points in the Synod of North Carolina, this tabulation showing the 1936 and 1937 Thanksgiving Offerings, as well at the _ best Thanksgiving Offerings in 13 years and the year in which that best offering was contributed to this Home This li a+ foes not include every church in the Synod of North Carolina. The absence of any church is due to the fact that no Thanksgiving Offering has been made for the Orphanage by the omitted churches during the last two years. This a comparatively how- ever, and the majority of them are very small or have been without pastors, against an effort for Barium Springs at Thanksgiving-time. This is the fourth successive year that such a tabulation has ap- peared in this paper. It is used annually, because it is thought that a review of the record that has been made oftentimes results in greater Thanksgiving Offer- ings. Some individuals will look over their respective church’s re- port and will be inspired to make an effort to exceed the best Offer- ing in the 13-year period. It is hoped that this will be done by a good many of the churches next month. During the past four years considerable attention has _ been given to the Thanksgiving Offer- ing, through efforts expended by special committees appointed by the Synod of North Carolina. The effectiveness of these committees’ work is clearly indicated by the un- usual {act that 217 of the churches have made their best 13-year Thanksgiving Offering since 1934, with 83 of them giving their best sums in 1956 and 55 of them con- tributing their best offerings ir 1937. The vear of 1925 still stands out as claiming the greatest num- ber of “best” offerings, for 88 churches still have their best of- fering listed in that year. The following tabulation of the 516 churches will show the year in which the best offerings were made ond the number of churches making their peak offerings in those re- spective yeors: Year of Bes!

Reports were made by the super- indendent and treasurer of the Or- phanage, Jos. B. Johnston and Er- nest Milton, respectively. The superintendent’s report dealt with the general tenor of the Orphan- age life which he reported as be- ing good, and the treasurer’s re- commenced to reach out and to at- (Continued On Page Two) YOUNG PEOPLE ASSEMBLE FROM FIVE ORPHANAGE’ Last spring a Students’ Confer- ence was held at Children’s Home, Winston-Salem, in which represen- tatives from Orphanages met and attempted to discuss and plan things that might be for the bet- terment of the institutions that they all love. The second meeting cf this group was held at Barium on October 7th and 8th. The five or- phanages that participated in the spring, participated with full del- creations this time. They arrived at Barium in time to see the Child- ren’s Home-Barium football game. It took them some time to settle down after this exciting event, but when they did settle down, they approached the subjects with the some serious thought as was done in the spring. They voted to meet ot the Mills Home in the spring of 1939, and they plan to com- j}mence now and arrange a pro- gram. We have heard stories of the beginning of the Tri-State Or- phanage Conference of Orphanage Superintendents and other work- ers, and it appears to us that this troup of young people, while meeting the same difficulties that ed through, are really making nore progress in the start than their older friends did in the years past. For instance, it is perfectly nat- iral for the first meeting to be in experience meeting in which ach group is intent on telling a- hout the good things in their own institutions. It is somewhat of a bragging party. Well, the old Tri- State Conference had _ several like this in which each Orphanage was trying desperately to convince the delegations from the other Or- vhanages how much better they were than the balance. Then, they commenced to work on the more ‘bvious problems, and it seemed impossible to get away from the tiscussion of these obvious prob- ‘ems, and a number of years went (Continued On Page Two) the Tri-State Conference had pass- | SEVEN OF 10 COMMITTEE MEMBERS |W MEETING Details of 1938 Thanksgiving Offering Plan Given.— Much Enthusiasm Elsewhere in this issue of The Messenger is recounted a story on the meeting of the Orphanage Committee at Barium Springs. It will be recalled that this Com- mittee was appointed by the Syn- od of North Carolina in Septem- ber for a two-year term, and the initial conference of this inter- rested group of men was held at Barium Springs on Tuesday, Oct. {th, The newspaper report appearing in The Charlotte Observer and |other newspapers did not reveal the fact that seven of the ten |}menbers of the Committee were {present for the deliberations at |} Barium Springs, and that two of the absentee members wired their deep regrets and at the same time | pledged their hearty and enthusi- las support of any action adopt- y the Orphanage Committee. Officials at Barium Springs were highly encouraged over the fact that so many of the commit- tee members could leave their businesses and make a journey to Barium Springs to plan for the approaching 1938 Thanksgiving Offering. Not only did these men come, but several of them brought rroups of ladies with them, these ladies touring about over the cam- pus while the commiitee was in session. A publicity committee was ap- pointed that day. This committee has already met in Charlotte and has definitely outlined the mater- ial which will go into the 1938 pamphlets, which will be distribu- ted throughout the Synod of North Carolina and to everyone of the churches in this Synod. The print- ing and distribution of these will be made just as soon as the per- sonnel of the Presbytery Commit- tee has been perfected by the Presbytery Chairmen. In addition to 60.000 pamphlets. 75,000 Thanksgiving envelopes and approximately 18,000 mite boxes will be distributed between now and the first of November. The Auxiliaries of the Synodical have already received an allotment of Thanksgiving envelopes sufficient for their membership, which were accompanied by a playlet entitled, “A One Day Visit At Barium Springs.” Some few Auxiliaries have already requested additional Thanksgiving envelopes, because their memberships have grown since the last report was filed to the Synodical Secretary last spring. Such requests are always happily granted. The sending of Thanksgiving envelopes direct to the Auxiliaries is a departure from the usual pro- cedure of the past several years. The former policy was to send all of the envolopes to the pastor a- round the first of November. How- ever, the 1938 envelopes were in the hands of every Orphanage Secretary by the first of October, lin order that she might distribute |these to the members this month, the envelopes to be returned in November with the Thanksgiving Offering of the individual member. The enthusiasm and __ interest which has already been manifested jin the 1988 Thanksgiving Offer- jing seems to authorities at Barium | Springs to be above that of recent |years. The great number of dele- gations visiting this Home is one factor pointing to this, the ama- zing attendance of the Orphanage C+mmittee members at Barium Springs is another, and the re- peated requests for information is still another indication that the Presbyterians of North Carolina will do their utmost next month to make another grand and glor- ious Thanksgiving response for this Home.

It seems that the Monopoly and the Chinese Checkers are the favorite ones. We thank them very much. On the subject of football we have boys on the three midget teams from our cottage. On the 85-pound team we have Marshall Norris, Pleas Norman, Bobby Whittle and Ray Lewis (captain). On the 100-pound team we have William Billings, Ben Lewis, Paul Burney, Jack Weeks and Mott Price.

That date is re- peated here, just to be sure that all alumni can mark that down as an all-important day for them to return home. wr Joe Keenan said he spent a mighty happy day at Barium in August when he came over from Burlington and visited all of his old haunts. Joe is connected with a power concern and is making a diligent application in this field, taking special courses and reading extensively in a set of books that he has purchased. Joe remarked “I give a boost to this place every time I can.” Pearl Bostian has recently re- turned to this state from Cali- fornia, and it seems as if she has visited the majority of old Barium }boys and girls between here and that distant state. Pearl promised to write an article for the alumni news, but that hasn’t come in yet. From all that she revealed about the various alumni, you would readily conclude that she might have been permanently established as an Alumni Secretary of Barium. Pear! is visiting some alumnae just now, and we hope that her host will urge her to jot down some interesting facts. Virginia Edwards has been giv- en the important position as mana- ger of the Cafeteria at Ivy’s De- partment Store in Charlotte.

YOUNG PEOPLE MEET (Continued From Page One) by before the old Tri-State really commenced to reach out and at- tempt new and radical departures. Well, these young people are having that experience to a lesser extent. They did not spend so much time in the spring meeting bragging about their own institu- tions, although this was done to some extent, but they do _ find themselves now having difficulty in pulling sway from the obvious matters that they want to discuss, end getting into the discussion of things just as important, but not so obvious. We believe that it is an organi- |zation worthy of our cordial sup |port and we commend the conduct }and the zeal of these people in the highest terms.

XVI BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C. ———— The Barium Messenger PUBLISHED BY THE PEESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME FOR THE INFORMATION OF ITS FRIENDS 7A Confession, A Revelation and A Challenge A Privilege I did not have last Thanksgiving and a confes- $| sion to be made.—By Mrs. Thomas C. Cook, wife of the pastor of Little Joe’s Church. 5 A privilege I did not have last Thanksgiving was to live amongst 313 fine sturdy boys and girls of North Caro- lina at Barium Springs. This Thanksgiving I can thank God that He has sent me and my family to such a place of privi'ege and work. By this time you must be wondering where were you last year and what does this praise have to do with this Thanksgiving. Only this, that I was in your place last year in one of our churches and called upon to remember this Or- phanage at Thanksgiving time. Now I am making it my opportunity to call all members of our Presbyterian churches in North Caorlina to a renewed interest in these boys and girls from all over North Carolina. To renew is to make new again, restore, begin again, re- sume, renew one’s efforts. This is my challenge. As I was going down my memory lane of last Thanks- giving, I quizzed myself as to what was my attitude as I heard and was reminded of Our Orphans. As I searched my heart for a true answer to this quiz, these are my an- GOOD NEWS swers: (a) I did not interest myself enough to write for material, | to read our church papers, or The Barium Messenger, to learn all about Barium Springs Orphanage in order | ‘ Pay There are two items of good news about the regluar giving for this - the Thanksgiving number of the Barium Messenger: The Ladies’ Bible Class of the Mount Holly Sunday School has voted to give the first Sunday Of- ferings to the Orphanage, and the gift for the month of November is already in hand. The Men’s Bible Class of that same church started the Offering-per-month plan last June and has already sent over $55.00 to Barium in six months. Tis good that the ladies have join- ed the men at Mount Holly in this monthly procedure.

Hundreds of People Have Worked In Behalf of Home. a This week - the week that this issue of The Barium Mes- senger is reaching over 24,000 homes and is available for reading by the majority of 84,582 Presbyterians of the North Carolina Synod - is that all-important and extremely vital week in the life of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. This is known as the Thanksgiving-week, and during these im- mediate seven days every effort will be expended by thou- sands of people - committeemen, pastors, Orphanage Secre- taries and individual friends - to see that a most generous Thanksgiving Offering is made for this Home at Barium the knowledge neces- sary for interest. the delightful news that the Aux-| Springs, and that the Presbyterian constiuency of this Synod iliary has Goreney decided to give | will become more thoroughly familiar with their Orphanage.

I believe you too will admit that a large percen- tage of the Christians of North Carolina in our church- es, if they searched their hearts and consciences, would a'so have to admit guilt. Before I go any further with this article may I con- fess what I did do last year.

Whatever the _ results might be during this week will not come simply through a brief one-week activity. Had you visited Barium Springs away back yonder about the middle of August, you would have witnessed the initial beginning of prepara- tions that have grown in in- tensity and magnitude as the months and days have gone by. Had you been at Barium Springs in early October to have had a look-in on the meeting of Synod’s Orphanage Committee you would have seen a group of busy business men assemble to discuss and make plans. Had it been possible for you to have visit- ed each church in the Synod you would have seen a com- mittee here, or an Orphanage Secretary there, or some other leading individual somewhere else map out the procedure for his or her, or their, particular church. If you could have sat in upon the congregations throughout the Synod last Sunday, you would have heard the ministers presenting the & Q VT gu t ” of our Orphanage at Thanksgiving.

Now, fellow Christians, what did you do? God has given us an illustration where the rich man gave of his abun- dance, the widow of her mite. Are you satisfied with your last year’s report as you recall your personal entries??? This year I am grateful ito say that I have learned more of the work of this Orphanage. These children have a place in my heart as my very own do. I see the need for daily prayer for these who are less fortunate, as I see and feel the need for greater sacrifice. I believe during the fall and early winter every housewife takes inventory of her home, as she does her fall cleaning. As I have just finished my house cleaning for my immediate family, I made a list of the thines worn out, the things that needed mending to help tie us over the winter, the replace- ments badly needed, ete. On a limited income, naturally my list had to be conservative. Now i ask you Mothers and Fathers to sit one night this coming week amidst the comfort of your homes and ponder the needs of 313 children as you think of the needs of the cne, two, three or more children of your own. Don’t they need: Warm undies, coats, hats, golashes, raincoats, sweat- ers, shoes, blouses, dresses and always socks and hose. If they are healthy, aren’t they always hungry and don’t (Continued On Page Two) Orphanage Work Secretary Says ood wee To ALL the Women of North Caro- lina Synodical Auxiliary. Dear Friends and Fellow Workers: “In everything give thanks.” “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and suppli- cation with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” The message of the great Apostle Paul to his Phillipian friends comes home to us on the approach of Thanksgiving Day. How blessed we are, beyond all others, in things material, and in things spiritual! None of these mercies are deserved nor have they been earned by us, but they are gifts of peace and grace from our loving Heavenly Father. Some one has said that having given us so much - all good things to enjoy - God puts us on our hon- r. He trusts us to use His gifts for the help and blessing of others. I know that you are all glad that our Thanksgiving Offerings (Continued On Page Three) donations to Barium Springs. There’s hardly a nook or corner in this old North State where vou could have failed to hear something about the Orphan- age. Or, if you could have (and maybe you were ne of the many hundreds who did so) visited the Orphanaye during the past summer and fall, you would have been thrilled with seeing these boys and girls at Barium, in becoming familiar with the systematized operation of this Home, in realizing the magnitude of the undertaking of providing all the needs and care for over 300 children, and in the comforting knowl- edge that you were having a part inthis endeavor. Ail such acquaintanceships would inspire you to give a little more, 'to talk a little more, to pray a little more, and to work a little harder that this 1938 Thanksgiving Offering wou!d be un- paralleled in the history of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. From here and there, from points nearby and from dis- tant places, from big cities and tiny hamlets come encourag- ing and gratifying reports - reports which have come direct to Barium Springs and reports which have reached local com- mitteemen, Presbytery committeemen and Synod’s Commit- teemen. This church and that church has set this or that goal for 1938; this church or that church plans to make its greatest Offering for Barium for all-time; this individual or that individual has pledged himself or herself to give more personally of his or her own means, time and effort in behalf of these children.

Thanksgiving And Its Vitalness to Barium (Continued From Page One) ingly. Hundreds have made personal expenditures in pro- moting the Orphanage cause and they have done this gladly, willingly, generously and graciously. 1 of people go the inexpressible gratefulness of the children at Barium Springs and officials of the Orphanage. If the 1938 Thanksgiving Offering does not stand out eminently among the Thanksgiving responses in the 47-year history of Barium Springs. It won’t be because undue efforts haven’t been liber- ally expended by thousands of friends, nor will it be due to a lack of unfamiliarity with this work of the Orphanage. It will be simply and solely because the people don’t have the money to give. No better closing challenge could possibly be extended the Presbyterians of the North Carolina Synod than that which is so ably and effectively expressed in the two-column article on the left-hand side of the front page of this Barium Messenger. Officials were wondering how they would em- phasize the Thanksgiving Offering in this November issue, but such wondering was dispelled the early part of this month, when “A Confession, A Revelation and a Challenge” ; : ’ ; was handed in voluntarily with the statement, ‘Here $ some- thing you can use if you want to, or you can throw it into the trashbasket.” Instead of reaching the latter, it was thrown on the front page of this issue, because this analysis of one person’s experience is probably applicable in many other cases if a studied analyzation is made of what your particular thought and action was when your 1937 Thanks- giving Offering was contributed. By the time the December issue of The Messenger goes to press, a fairly good idea of the 1938 Thanksgiving total should be available. nothing but a “good news” issue. May that issue of The Messenger be That depends upon you and the other 84,581 Presbyterians of the Synod of North Caro'ina! Start right now in your To all those hundreds are so {nanx-| things.

I suppose I might as well start on the subject of football first. We have played Lexington, Kan- napolis and Gastonia since the last news was published. Lexing- ton and Kannapolis defeated us, but we won a victory over Gas- tonia. Our basketball season is start- ing soon or rather getting ready to, and are we glad because bas- ketball rates “tops” in our sports by most of the girls and most of them go out. The Virginia Hall Circle girls went on a Halloween Party to our Camp on the river and we had a very good time, playing games, telling fortunes, making candy and several other amusements, which we all enjoyed. Grace Cay- ton, Gertie Smith were hostesses. Flora Mae Newnam had a visit from her mother and several other relatives. Also Helen Price’s moth- er came to see her. Halloween night, several of the girls dressed up and went around to different cottages, and gee, you should have seen some of those little babies’ faces when they saw those masks. The Mooresville Auxiliary which has already furnished a room, sent some other things such as sheets, counterpanes, scarfs, rug (small), pillow cases ete., to put in another room, and we want to show our appreciation to them for "7 those pretty things they sent Oo us. _ The Home Economies girls have finished their aprons and are so proud of them. We start cooking next month and are we glad be- cause we are very anxious to cook “real” well. Flora Mae Smith, Ruth Cole, Virginia Cranfill, May and Mable Shoaf and Glenn Lindsay were in- | vited by the Lee’s Cottage boys to a Hallowe’en party and from what we've heard, they had a very good time. We have been invited to David- son College twice to see them play football and whether they win or Jose, we are always pulling for them. We certainly do enjoy going to see them play. Barium has two boys going to Davidson. They are Eugene Shannon and David Spen- cer. They are on the freshman team this year and we can hardly wait to see them play next year. We'll be seeing you next month. —Mary Ann McCormick BABY COTTAGE Hello Folks, This is the babies coming on the air for our monthly broadcast. The pre-school age _ children were invited to a Halloween par- ty by Miss Brandon’s class. They came to the Baby Cottage and es- corted us to the school room where we listened to a program of songs and music on guitar by Paul Reid. Then we had apple-bobbing and then! A visit from a real ghost, of which we were afraid for a while. Then we had refreshments. After that each child was given a horn and we sauntered down to the foot- ball field where we could really make as much noise as we wanted to. Thanks to Miss Brandon and her class for such a happy time. We have enjoyed visits from ladies of the different churches and hope they will come to see us ften. One of received ship from we thank you. We feel very proud of Tommy. Our matron took the pre-school age children for a walk in th? woods Tuesday morning. We found o much of interest—birds, mosses, our boys, Tommy Rhyne, an award for scholar- berries, trees, ete. All spoke to us | God’s handiwork. Of these the wild birds build their nests and the weary child his pillow | and as the earth’s first mercy they are its last gifts to us. When all other service is in vain from plant and trees the soft mosses take up their watch and do the service forever. The campus has a goat and a kitten which the Baby girls and boys have a lot of fun playing with. One of our boys went to the Netober birthday dinner. He was Jackie Williams. We miss Mrs. Milton and Mabel and wish for them a speedy re- covery. Our neighbor, Mrs. Holton at Annie Louise Cottage, has been ill. We miss her and hope she will soon be well again. Home-Coming Day will be the 19th of November this year. We always set off a day for our for- mer Barium boys and girls, now men and women, who will come to see us. We will be looking for you all. Jackie Williams, Kenneth Mat- thew, Billy Dunn. Clyde and Dwight Reid have all had visits from their loved ones since our last broadcast to you. Our big girl, Hattie Michael, was invited away for the week- end. We were delighted to have Louise Martin stay with us in her absence. We all got new corduroy over- alls and a jacket to match. We are all anxious to show them off. Mr. Johnston let us go to see “Touchdown Army’’. K was a good picture and we certainly do thank Mr. Sams for inviting us. As you all know, our school has started and out of our 12 boys, six of them go to school and the rest stay at home with Mrs. South- erland. Our school boys are Paul Barnes, Douglas Davis, Clyde Reid. John Bullard, Tommy Rhyne and Billy Dunn. We have been going ‘to a lot of football games lately. We hope some day to be scoring touchdowns for dear old Barium. That is all for this month. —“Just Us Babies” LEE’S COTTAGE Hello everyone, This is Lec’s Cottage back with its bit of news. We are wondering if anybody else had as much fun on Halloween as we did. The big boys had charge of the party and invited a few of the girls from some of the other cottages. These girls were there: Flora Mae Smith, Ruth Cole, Vir- ginia Cranfill, Glenn Lindsay and May and Mable Shoaf. We play- ed games such as “Halloween Bas- ket”, Black Magic”, “Brain Twist- or” and “Bineo.” We ended it ur the Playhouse.

All of us seem to be doing good in our school work. We have re- ceived our report cards for the first time. (This year we get them every two months.) Most of us had good grades. This is the last of our news. We hope to have more next month. Your editor is Nov. 4, 1938 HOWARD NEWS Hello Folks, Here we are again. It only seems yesterday since the last time we wrote the news. We sure are having weather for November. Last night the Woman’s Auxil- iary gave a play taken from the Micgion Book, “City Shadows.” It was fine and we all! enjoyed it. We are through stringing beans for the year and we certainly are glad. It’s the latest we've had them. Tuesday we had a football game with Kannapolis’ 125-pound team. We beat them 85 to 0. Anne McDonald, Betty Lou Wil- liamson, Nita Shepherd, Elizabeth Langley and Toni Delancey get to go to the show for making the |highest averages in school the last , two months.

Of course, at supper we do our reg- ular work. | Now you mav think we keep pretty busy and we do, but we have plenty of fun, too. Just come and see for yourself. Saturday our 100-pound team and 125-pound team played the same teams from Oxford. My, how it did rain. I think they forget that, though, when they started to plav. We really do like footbail. Betty Adams had a visit from her aunt last Satudday. Annie Sue Wilson’s sisters and father came to see her. Dorothy Gibbs enjoved a visit from her mother and Lula Bell and Leona Hall also had a visit from their father. We have been having some good chapel programs. Each Thursday one grade has a program. All the eommar grades have had theirs and the eighth grade gave a Latin play last week. It was a Roman wedding. —The Rumple Hall Girls Nov. 7, 1938 SYNOD’S COTTAGE Hello Friends, Time certainly passes quickly. Here it is time to write to you again when it seems as if it were only yesterday when you heard from us. Mr. Sams invited us to the show not long ago to see a football pic- ture. The name of it was “Touch- down Army.” We sure did enjoy it a whole lot. _ Earl and Bobby Allen had a vis- it from their people. They brought a box of candy for all of us.

She was educated in siesvilie schools and since her raduation from Mitchell College has been in the offices of the } ; Realty Company. Mr. Purdy is the only son of Mrs. Mamie L. Purdy, of Barium Springs. He received his education at Barium hieh schoo! fand at Davidson College, where he was 2 popular member ot campus orran- izations and an all-star feotball player. He is connected with the Chapilotte oififfices of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Purdy left immediately for a week’s motor trip to points South. On their return they will be at home in Charlotte, where they have an apartment on Trade Street. Cards making formal announce- — of the marriage are being is- sved. Four of Barium’s graduates ren- dered a very valuable service to the Orphanage this fall, when they sp:ke before group confer- ences in Wilmington Presbyterial. Miriam Sanders and Tris Spencer, 1985 graduates, spoke at Mount Olive and Whiteville, respectively. Nellie Johnson, a ’88 alumnus. spoke at Burgaw and Martha Ad- ams, another 1938 graduate. spoke at New Hope and Elizabethtown. All four of these girls are students at Flora Mardonsld C-Nege at Red Springs. Mir- jam and Iris will graduate next spring, while Nellie and Mar- tha are attending that institution for the first time. Mrs, A. F. Womble, of 107 Char- lotte Ave., Sanford, Mrs. Oscar Starling, of Wade, and Miss jane McIver, of 318 W. 27th St., Win- ston-Salem, are former Barium virls who are secretaries of Or- phanage work in their respective Auxiliaries in the Sanford, Bluff and Geo, W. Lee Memorial church- es. Mrs Womble visited Barium when the Orphanage Secretaries of Orange Presbyterial met here. Mrs. Starling has heen back two or three times in the past few years. Maybe some other Ba- riura girls are Orphanage Secre- taries in other Auxiliaries. Miss McIver was here recently with a group of ladies from her Auxiliary Margaret Pittman has finished her nurse’s training and exne t+ to work in Durham. She and ver brother, Paul, were at Barium re- cently, stopping by here enroute home from the N. C. State-David- son football game in Charlotte. Paul has accepted work in Wash- ington, D. C., and will soon report for his new duties in that city. J. Robert Estridge, more famil- jerly known to alumni as Bob Es- tridge, was at Barium in October.

Ruth Patterson lives at 1767 Q Si., N. W., Washington, D. ‘ to that ever-increasing list of alumni in the national capitol. L. B. Wade is in the dry clean- | ng business and is getting along unusually well, writes Mrs. Beeson, and his residence address is 707 Englewood Drive, Greensboro. Gladys Wade is now Mrs. L. J. uogan and is living away out in Warland, Wyoming. That’s not quite as far away as Dallas and Dennis Williams, who are living in idaho, where they went when they et Barium. You might say that Mrs. Logan and the Williams are next-state neighbors. Mrs. John Bean (Johnsie Wade) has her home on Centennial Ave., liigh Point. Roy Wade is also in High Point and lives at 414 Walnut Street in that city. Mrs. Louis R. Walker, Box 185, Terrace, Penn., is the former Ber- tie Craig. If you want to write to her Mrs. Beeson advises you to put “please forward” on the envelope, for she travels with her husband. Mrs. S. F. M. Maclaren, 51-01 39th Ave., Apt. F-53, Long Island City, N. Y. is a rather long address on anybody’s envelope, but that’s the address for the former Mary Craig. No complete address is available for Mrs. W. C. Maclaren (for- merly Alice Craig), but Mrs. Bee- son knows that Alice is now in London, England, with her husband. Mary and Alice Craig married brothers. Mary has a little girl who is three years old. Joseph A. Craig is connected with the Duke Power Company at Teaksville. He is married and has a iicie girl about a year old. Do you know any other alumni news? We know that there’s plenty always happening to the alumni, but we just fail to jot down the facts and when it comes time to ro to press, they escape our minds. If you know anything of interest, drop a postal card with the infor- mation about it to Miss Lucille Burney, Barium Springs. Lucille has been asked to act somewhat as an alumni editor.

XVI Barium Springs, N. C., December 1938 No. II Published By Presbyterian Orphans’ Home For the Information of Its Friends Football Season’s Activities Reviewed | | GOOD NEWS Barium’s 1938 football season started under the arc lights at Mor- ganton on the night of September 16. Morganton has one of the stronger teams in the Western Conference. The night was beau- tiful, a large enthusiastic crowd attended, and the game was a tbril- ler. Barium played with a brand new quarterback, Arthur Roach. They scored two touchdowns in the first half with comparative ease, but the second half was a different matter. Morganton came back stong, scored one touchdown, and seemed headed for another. But in their overeagerness committed several fouls—and this slowed up their attack. The final score, Barium 12—Morganton 7. This was a good game for a starter. The following week the varsity went to Charlotte to take on the state champions of the year before. This game was also played at night, and was a most interesting affair. The Barium-Charlotte game drew the largest high school crowd in North Carolina this sea- gon, the reported number being 7,000. Barium was far outweighed but played the most consistent game, but were unable to push over a score, although threatening the Charlotte goal line several times. The final score: Charlotte 6—Barium 0. The first downs in this game were about even, with all of Barium’s being earned the hard way-—two of Charlotte's being the results of five-yard penalties. This was one of the most enjoyable games of the season, with both feams leaving the field with their heads up and feeling that they put up enough resistence to stop the threats in time. The following Friday (September 30) Barium took on another Class-A opponent, this time Salisbury at Salisbury. The day was @lear, but it had rained a few days before and the field was sJip- pery. Both teams had difficulty in gaining with anything but straight power plays. The result was: Barium 14—Salisbury 0. One of these scores was the result of a miraculous forward pass etch by Captain Arthur Sigmon. The pass was caught in the end zone and accounted for the first touchdown. Salisbury was pow- erful and threatened several times during the game, but Barium put up enough resistance to stop the threats in time. The following week, Barium played her first home game, and al- though it went to the visitors, 6 to 0, it was one of the best games of the season. The Children’s Home fine well trained line and her most sompetent backs appeared to be too much for Barium, and yet somehow Berium held them for a lone touchdown and if they had been able to handle forward passes with their usual skill the results might have been different. The Children’s Home-Barium game was played on Sloan Field on Friday, October 7. The last quarter of the game was tn Children’s Home territory, and several times Barium had victory on #heir fingertips but never in their grasp. On October 14th, Barium once more returned to night performan- ees, taking on Lexington at Lexington. This was played before an- other big crowd. The Barium-—Lexington series of games is one of the most interesting on both team’s schedule. Neither team is able to wore Consecutive victories it seems Ym 1936, the teams played to a tie; in 1937, Barium defeated Lexington by several touchdowns, but this = 7 was Lexington’s day. The final score was Lexington 14, Ba- This appeared to be Lexington’s toughest hurdle in the conference aompetition, and she sailed through the regular season after this game with victories of a wide margin. Lexington now has to play The Chil- dren’s Home a post season game to determine the championship of the South Piedmont Conference. On October the 21st, Barium played her second home game on Sloan Field and lost it by the biggest margin of any game played this season. Kannapolis brought a big, powerful, green shirted team here, and they departed with a i3 to 0 victory. One of these touchdowns was by a concerted drive which Barium seemed unable to stop. The second touchdown came as the result of an intercepted pass. A crowd of wildly enthusiastic Kannapolis fans accompanied the team that day who together with Barium supporters whelebeartedly congratulated the visitors on the splendid performance of their squad. Kannapolis has always been a worthy foe, and the Barium team (while putting up a splendid game against them) did not begrudge this well earned tri- wmph for these friends from the Towel Town. On October 28, Barium began another invasion of Class A ranks. This time they went to Gastonia and defeated their team 13 to 0. This was the first real cold night that our team had experienced. The team seemed to enjoy playing in this cocler weather, but it was terribly har on the spectators. One interesting thing in this game was that the Barium boys ran across an old friend, one of the outstanding Gastonia eve. _ This was a boy named Burdette who had played a year or previously*on the midget team in Statesville. He had moved to Gastonia and had grown up, the boys he had played against at Barium had grown up— and they met together again in more or less violent contact in this game. Burdette made quite a name for himself in this and other Gastonia games. On the night of Novernber 4, our team journeyed to Greensboro (Contin-ed On Page Two) La — SS MEMORIAL Ernest Milton, Treasurer, Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, N.C. Dear Mr. Milton: In lieu of sending flowers to the funeral, I am en- GIFTS closing § as a memorial gift to: Name of Deceased City re Age 5 Date of Death Lingering or Sudden? : % Survivor to Be Written So e Relationship to Deceased SS Name - Address ----- reece Meaeer rere anne Sree aa : The “good news” items for the December issue of The Messenger could be termed as extraordinary good news, be- cause officials at Barium Springs have been notified that four Sunday Schoois in the Synod are adopting the Offering-per-month plan. Three of these Sunday Schools are in Concord Pres- bytery, as follows: Old Fort, Siioam and Salisbury First. Three classes in the latter have been helping regularly, but the session recently voted permission to let the entire Sunday School proper give one of its Offeiings each month to Barium. The other new-comer is Brittain Sunday School, in Kings Mountain Presbytery. That Sunday School is simply re-instating this plan, for it was formerly in use in that organization. WHAT SUNDAY SCHOfL IN THE NORTH CAROLINA SYNOD WILL NEXT BE RE- CORDED IN THIS GOOD NEWS ARTICLE? AAPHANAGE COMMITTEE TO MEET IN GREENSBORO Meeting Will Re Held on Jan. 10th to Discuss Ways of In- creasing Regular Income An adjourned meeting of Syn- od’s Orphage Committee, ap- pointed for a two-year term by the Synod of North Carolina in its stated sessic at Greensboro last fall, will be held in the city of Greensboro on January 10th, at which time the ten members will hear the latest reports on the 1938 Thanksgiving Offering and will consider plans looking toward a larger regular month-to-month in- come for the Presbyterian Or- phan’s Home, as instructed by Syn- ud. The decision to meet again in Cyreensboro - a central point for the members - was reached when the committee met at Barium Springs in early October to map pians for the emphasis that was +) be placed upon the Thanksgiv- ing Offering. It was also definitely decided at the October meeting to issue quarterly pamphlets and the | material which will be used in the | second of the series will be consid- orved at that time. The first bulletin was an allotment of 60,000 pam- phiets distributed before and during he Thankseivine season. Full information will be avail- able for the Presbytery chairman as to the regular giving of all Chorches within his territory. Er- nest Milton. treasurer of the Or- rhanage, had been asked to pre- nare that data for the committee trom the ledgers on each church in the office at Barium Springs. church gave as 1938 Thanksgiving Offering, insofar as the reports have been completed at Barium by the nicht of January 4th. Elsewhere in this issue of The Messenger is information that four Sunday Schools have adopted the offering-per-month plan in those organizations. Because of Synod’s re-affirmation in its sessions at Devidson a few years ago of a for- mer recommendation that such a plan be incorporated in the pro- gram of the Sunday Schools, it is believed that this phase of the giv- ine will claim much of the attention of the committee at its January 10th conclave. The adoption of the plan by some of the four new-com- ers is already a partial outgrowth of the work of this committee. Chairman of Synod’s committee is J. Archie Cannon, Concord, and the Presbytery representatives are: Albemarle, R. Brooks Peters, Tar- boro; Concord, Gettys Guille, Salis- bury: Fayetteville, L. L. MeGoogan /St. Pauls; Granville, T. C.

Whatever estimate is given has to be somewhat “in the dark”, for close to 125 churches were either to send their initial of- ferings or were to complete their reports. Much depends, too, upon the amount of the supplementary sums that will be sent by three of the larger churches in the Synod that take pledges, payable for several months following Thanksgiving Day. This estimate would, there- fore, give Barium Springs a Thanksgiving total for 1938 that is in the neighborhood of $2,000 less than the 1937 ag- egate. Of the 369 completed 1eports at Barium on December 20th, almost 35.1% of the churches had equalled or surpassed the 1937 Offerings, leaving 129 churches that fell below last year's sums. Of the 240 that | had given more, 53 had estab- lished new 14-year peaks in their giving to Barium Springs. Reports had also ar- rived from 26 Chuehes or Mis- sion points which failed to make 1937 Thanksgiving Of- | ferings for Barium.

It took place on Novem- ber 19th, the Saturday b<fore Thanksgiving. This is a day that is usually clear, cold, and just ideal for the events that take place on Home-Coming day. But this year the weather man reverted to the kind of weather that we experienc- ed in our first Home-Coming ef- forts. You old-timers all remember how it was! We tried to stage those first Home-Coming events during the Christmas holidays and inva- riably it rained. The weather might be pretty right up to that day, but but on Home-Coming Day there was no doubt about the weather. It was “falling” ‘weather, and about all the Home-Coming crowd could do was to sit around and see who could think up more things to tell that happened during their childhood here at Barium. Not an unpleasant occupation, by the way! In spite of the rainy days, the popularity of Home-Coming May |increased with each year. And, | finally, it was decided to have the day earlier in the fall and on a day when there was a football game. That change was made, and the | weather man smiled on it. Every | year we had beautiful weather, un- til this year of 1938. Maybe it was because the day was set on Satur- day, rather than on Friday. All of the other Fridays had been won- derful fall days, but this one Saturday certainly did act up! In spite of the weather, a rood crowd of old-faithfuls came back. The weather did not dampen their en- thusiasm. If anything, they seem- ed to be more enthusiastic than ever. William Hudson was one of the most efficient presidenis the Alum- ni Association has ever had. There was not a dull moment in or out of the meeting. The day started out with a pep meeting, iust before the mid-day meal. This pen meeting is always livened up by tae return of old foot- ball players and old football fans. Immediately after this informal mescting, the next big event was dinner. And for us that was a big event. That is one time the crowd gets together and is united in body as well as spirit. There were 100 extra places prepared in our big dining room, and these were all filled. Immediately after this mid-day meal, the alumni meeting was held.

New York, Nov. 22.— A man and woman drowned in the Hudson river Saturday when their auto- mobile skidded on wet pavement near the foot of Manhattan and plunged into 40 feet of of water. Another man saved himself by smashing a car window. The bodies of Mrs. Lottie Gard- ner, 43, of 425 South Third Street, | Wilmington, N. C., and her broth- | er, Robert L.

Sunday School Meals Elsewhere in The Messenger it is learned that the Synod is “run- ning” $505.11 behind its giving to Barium a year ago. Sunday Schools have been responsible for $408.77 of that difference, for the giving to Barium from the Sunday Schools on November 30, 1938 was $408.77 less than what it was on November 30, 1937. Regular Offerings of Sun- Schools were arriving briskly in December. so maybe this will be a different story next month. Any- way, on the basis that is used ev- ery month of ten cents per mem- ber, 4,088 less meals could have been served with the Sunday School Offerings. Sunday Schools in the $100.00 Club now number 25, which is six more than were in this classifica- ticn last month. The following are those 25 Sunday Schools and the amount that each had regularly contributed: Albemarle, $357.15; Concord First, $294.24; Winston-Salem, First, $224.91; Tenth Avenue, $°21.97; Myers Park, $215.57; Springs | in 1913, and her bro- | was coming in the window as j crawled out.” Cardner said he was a locomo- tive engineer employed by the At-! | lantic Coast Line railway.
