In the first 12 days of January, $3,- 305.01 of that contemplated $8- 000 had reacheed the Home, which meant that a good many places were yet to be heard from. Concord Presbytery had the un- usual distinction of being the only Presbytery already ahead of last year’s final total on the Thanks- giving Offering. Concord was con- siderably out in front with an ad- vantage of $698.19. Other Pres- byteries lacked the following amounts to bridge the gap between that more was the 19389 and 1938 Offerings: Mecklenburg, $1,786.81; Kings Mountain, $1,289.50; Granvilie, $645.20; Wilmington, $574.60; Al- bemarle, $570.26; Fayetteville, | $532.68; Winston-Salem, $515.47, and Orange, $134.67.

Thirty-two teams, equally divided between girls’ and boys’ teams, play in the preliminaries, and some of the outstanding teams within a radius of 75 miles of Ba- rium Springs always are entered. Winners of last year’s tournament were the Berryhill quintet of Mecklenburg county and the Ca- tawha girls. They defeated North Brcok and Rock Springs, respec- tively, to cop the crowns. This was the third time in the eight years of tournament play that the Ca- tawba girls were victorious and thus kept a loving cup for their permanent possession. Mr. Calhoun stated that the usual awards will be made at the teurnament’s end to the winning teams, to the individuals on the winner and runner-up aggrega- tions, to the best dressed girls’ contingent and to those winning the foul-shooting contest. Medals are also given to those members named on the _ all-tournament team. Another tournament scheduled ‘fai rium Springs. bottom rung. affair at Barium Springs in memory City Lingering er Sudden?

And we have gained 1230 pounds of and 1409 pounds of boy during the year. This was revealed by a vali scales and not by a check- up of the roll call! The greatest individual ge a tie between a boy ach gained 1 for the boy aver ot 92 and age among the old -e was a slight loss in weight - three girls. Investigation dis- sed that this was not an indica- € tion of ill health but rather ; change of style, with the 1939 style running to _ streamlining rather than poundage! Two boys were found to have lost weight, which was the result recent illnesses rather than any chronic ailment. Over 10 qounds each were gain- ed by 64 boys and 42 girls. There is one very mteresting trend that we have noticed in these exami- nations. That is this: The girls between the ages of 6 and 14 out- grow boys of the same age. From 14 on the boys take the lead. The girls apparently reach their ceil- ing growth earlier than the boys. Girls of 18 years as a rule do not grow very much, whereas boys of 18 seem to be still in the midst of a growing period, We have not attempted to tabu- late the number of operations and treatments that are bound to be of necessary as a result of these | examinations. In the tubercular clinic there | were 25 children X-rayed, with the X-rays disclosing nothing dangerous in any event. Some of the children have to be watched carefully for a year or two. We will probably have some 20 tonsil operations as well as some 15 to 20 eye examinations and treatments, Warts, moles, crooked toes, flat | feet, and what-have-you are all noted!

At least as many more Sunday Schools are expected to be includ- ed in that Club by the end of 1939- 1940, There were 61 enrolled last year and the likelihood is that there will be more in the current one because several new Sunday Schools have adopted a regular plar. and others have been in- creasing their month-to-month gifts to such an extent as to war- rant a position in the club by the year’s end.

That’s a trite | or stock-in-trade statement at the | outset of each calendar period, but we hope that the readers of The Messenger do not accept that wish from everybody at Barium Springs as a hurriedly-writter. ex- pression. ‘Tis the genuine and hearty hope of the big family in our home here that this year of 1940 will be a grand one, in every way, for all of the hundreds and thousands of friends of Barium Springs. ——————— +a There should have been glad- ness and happiness in the hearts of all of those people who played Santa Claus to the boys and girls at Barium Springs. It was a grand time for these children in our Home and many were heard to re- mark that it was the “best Christ- mas they have ever spent”. Every child’s letter to Santa Claus was answered by some individual in the numerous organizations which annually write and ask for a cer- tain number of the Santa Claus letters. In fact, toward the last, requests for Santa Claus letters had to be refused, since all of them had been sent out. Oe) 6a The Calendar year of 1939 has been a good one for the Home at Barium Springs. During 1939, Synod made a Thanksgiving Of- fering superior to that of 1938 (it has not all been forwarded yet but that will be true when all of the donations have been sent to us); during the same year, Syrod- ical authorized the raising of $10.~ 000 for one of the units to replace BEQUEST. ) Alexander; at Christmas-time of 1939 it was revealed that a Char- lotte friend would give $10,000 for another one of the units, and the regular month-to-month receipts in the first part 1939-1940 were over $750.00 ahead at the three- quarter point that ended on De- cember 31, 1989. cticiiaaoniceniiiiadiiliaapaietiiie Congratulations are due those 60-odd churches which went for- ward to new peaks in their Thanksgiving Offerings in 1939. Many other places would like to have been classified in that group- ing, but circumstances made it im- possible for them to advance to new high levels at Thanksgiving- time. If all churches in the Synod could have reached new high-water marks, the 1939 Thanksgiving to- tal would have been a staggering one, to be sure, Offhand, it is be- lieved that Barium Springs would receive $75,000 if every church could have given its best Offer- ing of the past 15 Thanksgiving seasons. —-8 ee Public expression of apprecia- tion is being made in this issue of The Messenger for the faithful efforts made in behalf of this Home by Synod’s Committee on Orphanage work and by the local committees in all churches who also worked diligently and faith- fully to “swell” their respective Thanksgiving Offerings. We wish we could write every individual a personal letter. We hope each one will accept these genuine thanks as a personal message of appreciation from everybody at Barium Springs.

We greet you at the beginning of this new year with smiles on our faces and with happy hearts. First, we want to thank you all for making this the very hap- piest Christmas we have ever had at Barium, The gifts you sent were just the very things we were wishing for. We had a happy holi- day season. We started back to school on January 2nd, A good friend of ours has made it possible for us to secure a new Philco radio. We are getting many hours of enjoyment from it. We want to thank our friend for do- ing this for us. Mr. Sams, who is always in- viting us to see many good movies throughout the year, made us very happy by presenting every boy and girl with a book of tickets for Christmas. We want to express our appreciation to him. Our winter sports have started now and we are looking forward to a good season of basketball] and wrestling. We welcome Wilford McLelland into our cottage from Alexander Cottage. We hope he will enjoy living over here. A number of us had visits from relatives during the holidays, which we enjoyed very much. We are glad to report that Ray Lewis is improving rapidly, and we are looking foward to having him back in the cottage at an early date, We rejcice with our ‘friends, the Alexander boys, over the bright prospects of their getting the new buildings. We hope in the near future that they will be able to vacate Alexander Cottage. We will be back next month. Your news commentator now signing off, —Jack Weeks.

We have enjoyed playing with it, too, Betty Lou Davis, Frances Bowles, Hannah Price and Lillian Cranfill have all had a visit from their people. We are glad to have Mrs. Hol- ton back with us to be Annie Louise matron. We had a very Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. We hope you did, too.

We all had a very nice Christmas and old Santa was real good to us, And we all had a fine time Christmas shop- ping, too. Mr, ard Mrsa Sams, we wish to thank you very much for the book of show tickets you gave every- one at Barium for Christmas. All of us are glad to have Mrs. | Holton back with us, though we hated to see Mrs. Robinson leave uS 80 Soon. We have been having snowy weather and we had a snow fast night, but it didn’t last very long. Since we wrote you last we have a little new girl who has came to live with us, Her name is Betty Tou Williams. We all hope that she will enjoy living with us. You will hear from us again next month, -—_— BABY COTTAGE, Hello Folks! This is the babies! We have had a most delightful Christmas. We came from break- fast Saturday morning and had a little program, then a party, and best of all, the Christmas _ tree. Our visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, Mr. Cook, Mrs. Spencer and Miss Carpenter, Also a few of the Howard girls came that had sisters or brothers at the Ba- hy Cottage. We got the most toys. Footballs, dolls, tea sets, trucks, games and just about everything. We hope “Santa” was as good to ali of you as he was to us. We certainly --miss Kenneth Mayhew who left us Christmas to live with his mother. Don’t for- get us, Kenneth. We have had plenty of coughs and colds since we last wrote to you. Just a few of us have had to go to bed, though, We all enioved seeing the snow and would have enjoyed still more niaying in it had not “Mr, Sun” come out and melted it. We were glad Mama Kelly came to see us Saturday. Although she couldn’t stay Iong we know she wanted to remain longer. So manv of us have had visits from our folks. As wel] as we can remember thev are the following: Helen and Hilda Barnes. Cassie Mae Hilliard, Ray Powell, Perey Ann Collins. Carelwn and Mac Wicker, Jackie Williams. Buddie Maples, and two of our big girls, Mav Lyprn Jones and Janie Smith. One of our big girls. Louise Martin, ate svnper with Mr. Cook and his family. She reported a nice time. We thank all of you who helped play Santa Claus to us. Your | gifts were greatly appreciated. | Rufus Long, HEALTH INVENTORY (Continued From Page One) part of the year attending to these corrections. Summing the whole business up, this annual check-up is one ot the most satisfying experiences that come to the Barium folk, The health program each year is very successful. In practically all of these cases, the methods used to remedy physical defects have been and are being successful. And when a record is kept of these, and we check back on a record and tind how he or she is progressing and growing and developing, there is even more satisfaction ir this than in the contemplation of a healthy bank account or over- flowing barns! We somehow feel that God is an even closer partner with us in this program for the physical well being of the children than in many of the more specta- cular departments of this great institution, We wish we had space to enu- merate the names of the persons who have a hand in making our health program what it is. Our Infirmary nurse, the doctors who call on us, the Davis Hospital staff, the dentists, and the speci- alists in various departments all contribute their share in this most satisfying work, And as a result, we believe we have as wholesome and as satisfactory a health pro- gram as it is possible to get in this country of ours.

INFIRMARY. Dear Friends, We had a very merry Christ- mas and everyone seemed happy. We had our Christmas tree Satur- day about five o’clock. Mr. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, Leila Johnston, Mrs. Grier, Mrs. Milton. Mabel Milton and Mrs, Milton’s mother came to our tree and join- ed in with us in our program. We had the program in Ray Lewis’ room and Mr. Johnston gave him his gifts. They each had a date on which they were to be opened. We had our tree and came back to see Ray. He already had them all opened. We have been having quite a number in bed at the infirmary with colds. We had about seven- teen in bed Sunday. This is our second snow this winter. We have been having some snowy weather but this is reallv a big snow. It snowed all Sunday morning and it’s still on the ground. It sleeted on top of the snow and made it awfully hard to walk on. We are having our = annual health examination. It will take a few days because Dr. Herman is only working in the mornings. Mr. and Mrs. Sams gave each of us a book of show tickets, We surely do thank you. We can cer- tainly use them. Mrs. McNatt’s son visited her during the holidavs. We were glad to have him with us, Mrs. Robinson has been = sick and has been staying with us. She is much better now and will soon be ready to start her work again. | 9. We'll be with you again next month. January 9, 1940. Stricklin, | January 1940 STEVENSON-ALEXANDER Former Matron of Rumple Hall Was Married at Little Joe’s Church in December Many friends will be interested in the following extracts from ‘lhe Statesville Daily of December 4th: In a service solemnized Sunday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the Lit- tle Joe’s Presbyterian church, Ba- rium Springs, in the presence of an assemblage of friends from Ba- rium community and Statesville, Miss Mildred Stevenson was wed- ded to Mr. Cecil E, Alexander. The ceremony, which included the ring ritual, was performed by Rev. Thomas C, Cook, pastor of the Ba- rium church. The bride was escorted by her brother, Mr. Francis Stevenson, who gave her in marriage, and had as her maid of honor and only at- tendant, her sister, Miss Faye Stevenson. Mr, Alexander had his brother, Arnold Alexander, as best man, The bride is the daughter of Mrs, Janie Patterson Stevenson, and the late W. R. Stever.son, Her home is on the Taylorsville high- way a few miles west of States- ville. She was educated at the Sharon schools and after her grad- uation completed a course in teacher training. For the past several years she has been con- nected with the Barium Springs orphanage, as matron in one of the cottages. Attractive and popu- lar with many friends, she has been honored with several parties since the announcement of her en- gagement this fall. Mr. Alexander is the son of Mr. Thomas Alexander and the late Mrs, Alexander, of the Sharon community, and was educated in the Sharon schools. He is connect- with the meat department of Fra- ley’s store in this city. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs, Alexander went to their attractive new home, just completed, on U. S. highway 70, three miles west of Statesville. $100 SUNDAY SCHOOLS (Continued From Pace One) by the number of members in the Sunday School.

It is interest- ing and very encouraging that the regular reports at the three-quar- ter point of the year showed an increase of $777.90, the Sunday Schools being responsible for $765.07 of that advantage, Presbytery Albemarle See Ch. 8.8. ux. $293.10 $ 870.31 $ 646.15 Concord ‘ 1,573.05 2,175.88 644.73 Fayetteville 66%.89 2.182.385 459.45 Granvi"e 422.03 463.38 437.33 Kines Mountain 179.13 1.569.12 486.05 Meck'enburg 2,665.69 2,544.06 709.14 range 620.12 1,526.62 892.84 Wilmington 880.21 759.88 289.66 Winston-Salem 1,127.20 867.08 508.81 TOTAL $8,424.42 $12,858.18 $5,066.16 Pag OR 5 (C year five The g thous th d on t these teria) thous Bu this phan on o no lq the ple sould grea N and Abo pha thos com our lina pha aB ma is t con reaq ma resi foll| ad Page Three ORPHANAGE SECR (Continued From Page One) { year with a sum varying hetween | five and eight thousand dollars. | The State helps with about seven: thousand five hundred towards | the school, which is maintained | on the grounds. Tm addition to! these amounts the 87,000 Presby- | terians in North Carolina contri- bute annually about one hundred | thousand dollars, But our most important item in this stock taking is the 316 or- phan children thera dependent up- on our care and training, This brings us to the intan- gible report. To those items that no ledger can value. Among these we wish to list the heartfelt interest of our peo- ple in the welfare of these 316 souls - future citizens of our great commonwealth, Next the prayers of our people and the visits to the Orphanage. About 2,000 people visited the Or- phanage during the year. And how those little ones do enjoy having company. Then the very organization of our Orphanage work. North Caro- lina is the only State to have Or- phanage Secretaries. And to have a Barium meeting during the Wo- man’s Conference at Montreat, Our conclusion to this inventory is that we possess a fine growing concern and that the amount al- ready invested demands adequate maintenance now. New Year’s is also a time of resolutions. So let us make the following resolutions: hereby resolve to help carry forward the Barium program as advised by the Officers, namely, To contribute seven and one half per cent of the budget. To contribute one dollar per month per Circle. To use Thanksgiving envelopes among Auxiliary members, taking them up at Auxiliary meetings in November. To have at least one program on Barium during the year, pre- ferably in November. To have the local Secretary give news items at each meeting on Barium, as suggested by Mrs, Raynal. To urge all members to pray constantly for Barium and to visit the Orphanage. Respertfnlly snhmitted, MARIE S, CURRIE (Mrs. George H.), Or- phanage Secretary, Wil- mington Presbyterial. Midget Football LITTLE VARSITY The record of the team that has con- sistent'y had the best victory record of any follows: It is the team, that keeps us in a good humor no matter how the sea- son may turn out, becnuse we know these boys will soon step up into the varsity and wi'l keep the Barium banner flying. Some of the games they played were against reserves, and in many of these games the weight advantazes were de- cided!y arainst Rarium. But it so happens that their closest encounters were in the games where the weight limit was strictly adhered to. And the only defeat they suf- fered was in one of these games. MORGANTON The 125-pound team started out on Septernber 23 with Morzanton reserves. This was Morganton’s first game, and Barium’s victory was 18 to 0. The return game at Morganton one week ‘ater wes 19 to 0 in favor of Be- rium, with both teams showing much im- provement, OXFORD And then thé tang trip took place down to Oxford. This is always one of the toughest games on schedule, and _ this ear it was no exception. Oxford has m going places in athletics. Not only is the 125-pound team the leader, but their varsity rates right neer the top in the state standing. It is a far ery from the year when our 125-pound team used to p'ay their varsity and defeat them. This year Oxford was victorious 7 to 9. The 100-pound team accompanied the 125- pound team on this trip. And in the after- noon of the day they played these games, they were the guests of the Univers'ty of ! North Carolina seeing the Carolina-NYU | rame, ONCORD - STATESVILLE - OXFORD | On October 18th we tangled with our old friends from Concord and defeated them 20 to 0 in a most interesting game. And then on the 24th we met the States- ; ville B team, defeating them by the identi- cal score. On October 28th. Oxford re- turned their game to Barium, and this wes a scoreless tie. The long trip from Oxford to Barium slows up the team, just as the long trip from Barium to Oxford slows up Barium And the fact that Barium was unab'e tc win over Oxford even on our home grounds indicates that this year at least Oxford has the top midget team of the state. KANNAPOLIS On October 3ist Rarium defeated Kan- napolis 46 to 0. This big score would in- dicate that Kannapolis was weak. They really put up a good game, but Barium was clicking that day and they cou da’t do anythine wrong. CHARLOTTE (Midget Cernival) On November 8rd there woe a midget carnival at Barium. The Barium teams played three teams from Charlotte. The 125-pound boys wound up the day with a 59 to @ victory over Charlotte. And that was another game in which the score a@oesn't indicate the relative strength of the two oy vey —e —_ 2 good team. but rium seem: ave & jump on them every time attempted anything.

And then on November 15th Ba- | rium again defeated Concord 21 to 0. In this game the Barium team had lost two of its regu’ar piayers. The varsity had | swiped them. Due to injuries the varsity had to recruit Henry Pittman and Joe | Ben Gibbs from the biggest midget team. | The team felt proud that they could win from Concord by xs ‘arze a score as they did earlier in the season when they had | their ful) streneth. | KANNAPOLIS - ALBEMARLE f On November 18th Barium defeated Kannapolis 28 to 7 in a game that looked for a time as though the game was going | to Kannapolis, Kannapolis scored first and it was in the latter part of the game that Barium came through to run up their | three touchdown victory. On November | 28th the team journeyed to Albemarle to | take on a previously undefeated A'bemarle | team. It was one of the best looking midget teams we have seen. A’! they lacked was experience. And Barium 4 feated them 20 to 0 through the superla- tive playing of the veterans on the Barium team. The varsity had taken some of the best of the midgets, but those who were left did double duty in this game. PULASKI, VA. December 2nd this team had a treat. They had received a challenge to go to Pulaski, Virginia, to play a midget team there. The man who issued the challenge was named R. M. O’Hair, Jr. It so hap- pens that he was a member of one of the first midget teams that Barium played away from home, It was Rock Hill, S. C., where this encounter took place. For severa! years Barium teams met teams on which O’Hair played. This young man finished colleze and went io coaching, and remembering these contests, he wanted his team to meet a Barium team. The 125-pounders went to Virginia, and they defeated the Pulaski tear 38 to 0 to round ott a forgeous season, The trip was pleasant, the Virginia folks were most cordial and didn’t seem to hold it against the boys for spoiling their came on Home-Comtng May. LITTLE MIDGETS The first games of the year are with the Children’s Home. And on that first encounter Barium 100-pounders defeated the Chi'dren’s Home 19 to 6, while the 85-pounders got a 6 to @ victory. These games were played at Barium on Septem- ber 39th. That afternoon both of these squads went te Pavidson to see the bi Methodist and the big Presbyterians play & game, which didn’t turn out in favor of the Presbyteriens, That was when Duke payed Davidson. On October 2lst these two teams went to Winston-Salem for return games. They had the tables turned on them, with the Children’s Home winning the 100-pound game 20 to 0 and tieing the 85-pound team © to 0. In the meantime the 100- pounders had lost a heart-breaker to the Vietory Schools in Gastonia. Victory got 2 touchdowns as a lead on Barium. And then Barium came from behind to take the lead 14 to 12, until] the IJast play of the game when the Victory team com- pleted a forward pass. finally defeating us 19 to 14. On the trip to Oxford, the 100-pound team was defeated 138 to 0 And then on the return to Barium, Ox- ford defeated Barium 7 to 6. Barium’s touchdown in that game was the result of a bocked kick. And that brings history up to the big day when Chariotte visited Barium. The | 85-pound team started off the day right | by winning 21 to 0. And ten the 100. ! pounders followed ith 31 to 0O victory. And that must have steamed up the bia midgets, because they took their game, 59 | to 6, j This completed the season’s games for the 85-pounders. But the 100-pounders went on to defeat the Statesville C team 26 to @ in one game and 19 to 0 in another. They finally got revenge over the Victory team 21 to 6, And there you have it! A grand season with very few injuries, with lots of fun. and we hope with lots of new friends. 4 St. N while.

Yes, that’s the Ray Norman that re- cent alumni knew, and it was not some foreign dignitary. Ray is now a student at Mitchell and he spoke to the Lions Club at States- ville on the service of Mitchell College to TIerdell County and to North Carolina. Alumni everywhere will tively sudden death of Walter “Steve” A, Culbreth in Statesville on Tuesday night, January 9th. He was stricken. on the previous Sun- day and died early Tuesday eve- ning. Mr, “Steve” claimed to be an alumnus of Barivm through his contention that he’ had more Ba- rium blood in his veins than his ewn body had manufactured. This came about a few years ago when he was seriously il] and many blood transfusions were given him by Barium boys and girls, with the result that his life was spared. On the day of his death one of the Barium boys went to Statesville to give Mr, “Steve” a blocd trans- fusion in an effort to ward off a fatal illness. He was the loudest rooter for Barium at all contests and no alumnus could hardly be more loyal than Mr. “Steve” was to this Home. Alumni will deeply mourn his death. = Quite a few new addresses have recently been obtained and will be of interest to many alumni, These include: Mrs, L, D.

It mvy be impossible for some few checks to reach the institution by the 20th, so the receipt books will be open a few days tc receive these. However, it is hoped that the majority of the funds will be received by the closing date, and that final receipts the early part of April will constitute only a small pet of the income | for the Loyalty Month. || This Was Accomplished by ed January’s Receipts.

BEQUEST) — “Il gwe and bequeath to the REGENTS OF THE ORPHANS GOM# OF THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD OF NORTH CARO- Lina, /ncorporated Under the laws of the state of North Carolina, (HERE NAME THE BEQUEST. ) The Late Rev. W. E. MclIlwain, D. D. | ‘Treasurer | | | We are always glad to get in- formation and facts concerning the early history of the Presbyter- fan Orphans’ Home here, and the 1939 Minutes of the Synod of Florida have given us a bit of history that iz going to be valu- able in a revised story of the Home that is expected to be re-written and prepared for the semi-centen- nial celebration in 194i. This information was in the form of a memorial on the life of Rev. William Erskine MclIlwain, D., who died at the age of 90 years after a life of great useful- ness and wonderful! service to the entire Southern Presbyterian Church. Believing that our friends will be interested in the original motion that led to the es- tablishment of this Home, we are going to re-print « small portion of that worthy and highly-merited memorial that was prepared joint- ly by Rev. J. G. Garth, D. D., pub- icity clerk of the North Carolina Synod, and by Rev. Jas. W. Mar- shall, of Chattahoochee, Fla, After saying that four outstand- ing achievements of the late Dr. McIiwain were the establishment of the Barium Springs Orphanage in North Carolina, the inaugura- tion of the present home mission plan in North Carolina, the es- tablishment of Alabama Presby- terian College for Men, and his evangelistic success in the Caro- linas, Alabama, Oklahoma and Florida, the memoria] went an to deal specifically with these four! of Education after he had discuss- fields of endeavor. The part that pertains to Barium Springs is as follows: i “Well may North Carolina call | him blessed; for the establishment | i , of the orphanage and the inaugu- | ration of the home mission plan | were contemporaneous, both hav- ing been begun at the meeting of the Synod of North Carolina 61 years ago, October, 1888, at Golds- boro. A group of godly women had started in Charlotte in 1883 a home for waifs which was fast growing beyond their means. At that time Dr. MclIlwain was Synod’s Agent of Education. He traveled (as Syn- od’s agent of Education and Secre- tary of the board) ag far as Mlli- nois, inspecting manuel training and Self-help Institutions. In those days all of the men now known as chairmen of committees were call- ed “agents.” To him the ladies ap- pealed to bring the orphans to the| attention of Synod. Accordingly, upon hia motion, Synod passed the resolution below to start a synodi- cal Orphans’ Home similar to Thornwel! Orphanage at Clinton, S. C., as many North Carolina Presbyterians were materially aid. ing in the supvort of Thornwell. The resolution was as follows: “ ‘Resolved, that in the judze-~ ment of this Synod the time has come to take steps looking to the establishing of an orphans’ home within our bounds and that a com- mission be appointed to take the whole matter in charge, to consider | and execute whatever may seem / wise and practicable in putting such | an enterprise on a permanent basis.’ | This resolution occurs at the close of Dr. Meliwain’s report as Agent ed educational institutions, such as Davidson College, Floral College, Charlotte Female Institute, and other schools. “& commission of three mem-! } through his influence the February 1940) response Ww unt already s ance enclosed $1.‘ As an explanat 4 fi HOR | Sunday Schooi at Grover regulaily sends the fourth Sunday d nations to Barium Springs. The July fourth Sunday sum amounted to} $1.54, which was much less than usual. When the Offering on th: fifth Sunday was superior, the Sunday School voluntarily voted and instructed the treasurer to! allot the fifth Sunday amount to} this Home, with the consequent | result that $1.93 more was receiv- | ed here. | { -——————_2 “As you know,” wrote the treas- urer of the Statesvile First Sun- day Schoo] last November, “the fourth Sunday in October fell ont our celebration day and as Sun-! day School was omitted that day we used our fifth Sunday for Ba- rium. Our people didn’t respond as well as if it had been the regu- lar fourth Sunday” he further com- ; mented in explaining that the of- fering was slightly less than the usual fine amount. / | Commendation was certainly due} officials there for simply postpon- | ing the Barium offering, instead of | forgetting it entirely for the month | of October. We know of several in-, stances where the Barium offering isn't sent if another “special” is scheduled. On the other hand, we know far more Sunday Schools who won't let anything interfere with Barium’s regular response, or when it does, the donation is simply taken later in the month. “I am sorry that this has been delayed but the weather was so bad the first Sunday that the offering for Barium Springs was delayed for a better day.” That was at the bottom of one of our remittance blanks from the treasurer of Beth- el Sunday School in Mecklenburg Presbytery. We hastened to assure that particular treasurer in Jan very that nv apuldies were nuceces- sary for the delay, but that he and his Sunday School deserved our sincerest commendation for delay- ing the offering until the weather permitted a better attendance and bers from each of the five Presby- teries was appointed. From Meck- lenburg Presbytery Dr. Mellwain, Dr. J. Y. Fair, pastor of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church, Char- lotte, and the late Geo. E. Wilson were appointed. To this commission was referred the memoria] from the ladies of Charlotte, as they! were conducting in Charlotte a! ‘home and hospital’ with the as-— sistance of the First and Second! churehes. When Synod met. ini Charlotte in 1889, this commission asked Synod to appoint a board of | regents for an orphanage and to locate the institution at, or near Charlotte. In Wilmington in 1896 this board reported, Dr. Jethro Rumple as chairman and W. E. McTIlwain as secretary. They were sponsoring the home already func- tioning in Charlotte supporting 23 children. After purchasing land near Charlotte they sold it to the Richmond and Danville railway. So now they asked for the privilege of locating the home at Barium Springs in the hotel by that name with 15 acres of land. “Largely through the efforts of the board’s secretary, W. E. Me- Ilwain, the negotiation for this purchase was completed, and also board chose Rev. R. W. Boyd as the first superintendent, calling him from his pastorate at Castanea Grove. The purchase price of the 32 acres of land and buildings was $2,222.- 58. Mr. Boyd and his family moved in December 29, 1890. On January 14, 1891, the children came, eleven of them from Charlotte. When Synod met in 1891 here were 28 Orphans in the Home and ‘Ba- rium Springs’ has been a Synodi- cal term ever since,” Not only did the late Br. Mc!?l- wain play a major role in the in- ception of this work at Barium Springs, but he liberally gave to this Home during his lifetime. He established two permanent mem- orial funds of $1,000 each - one to his mother, Liviey Potts MeIlwain, and one to his first wife, Jane} Howey Mcllwain. He also gaye other liberal donations to this Home during his lifetime, a nota- tion in the late Dr, MclIlwain’s files showing the tota) to be around $5,000.00. ! | therefore a larger Offering. — On the fifth Sunday in Decem- be InlLiuenza Was rampant i Charlotte. That made large inroads Into altendan¢ , WITH a Cor gu S$ on that fifth Lo ring oi spon: lay. The Myers Park Sunday! c 3) treasurer sent a sum of >i i to Larium and accompanied} it With a note which said, “On ae. count of the ¥ LU in Charlotte our attendance at Sunday Schoo! this morning was very slim, this ae- counting for the small Offering. i have requested the Session to al- low us to give you the Sunday Schoo] Offering next Sunday, too.” A week later came this, “Glad to report that the Session granted my suggestion that the collection from the Sunday School last Sun- day, Jan. 7, 1940, be sent you to supplement the collection of the previous Sunday. In the attached check, $25.87 is included from the Sunday School.” Thus, our Home received $40.71 from Myers Park Sunday School, instead of what might merely have | been a check for $14.84 had the] Session not granted the plea of the! interested treasurer. rr | From Rogers’ Memorial Sunday School in Winston-Salem t his month came this, “Sorry to report so late, but if we had counted the second Sunday offering alone for Barium Springs it would have been the wettest rather than the ‘sweetest’. Because of the rainy morning there were only 18 pres- ent, so we put the seeond and third Sunday offerings together. They will purchase 100 pounds of ‘sweetness’ at five cents per.” Wasn't that great? That was| thoughtfulness, too. Reference to “sweetness” above comes through our January suggestion to the Sun’ | day Schools to see how much sugar could be purchased with the Jan-| uary response at the rate of five! cents per pound. ————-~>- Last November this letter was received, “This week M dropped in to see me and wanted to know where Barium Springs was located. We had quite a nice chat resulting in his wanti to give the Urphanage 50 bushels of sweet potatoes. “Knowing that you would rather have cash than produce, | made the following arrangements a bo u t them: He stated that he was very successful in ‘banking’ potatoes. | told him to put them up in good shape and that I would guarantee $25.00 to the Orpahanage. In other words, we will keep them until they are saleable here, and if they bring less, you get the above a- mount anyhow, if they bring more, you get more. At thia season of year there is not much local sale for them, due to the fact that most people raise them. But in the spring of the year there is a de- mand for them, and we can gell them to a better advantage.” That guaranteed $25.00 duly came as a Thanksgiving Offering | because of the enerosity and thoughtfulness of this friend guar- | anteeing that much and also be- cause of the goodness in, the heart r———-—- ' practice recently of the individual who wanted to! donate 50 bushels of sweet pota- | toes to Barium Springs. When | spring arrives, there may be more. | because of the successfulness of | that farmer in “banking” them ov- | er the winter. Should there be al failure, though, the friend who did} the guaranteeing has simply con- | tributed $25.00 more to our Home | here. > —-—_ In November came this letter from a Washington (N.C.) friend, “I have had charge of Juniors in our church and several times we have sent $5.00 to take care of your children for 20 minutes. Of course, we apply for a certain date and this year we want Christmas 2 Suffice it to say that a specific time on Christmas Eve was as- signed to these Washington Jun- iors, and the $5.00 gift duly came in from them. The cost of operat- ing this Home averages $5.00 for every 20 minutes of a 24-hour day, and those Washington Juniors wanted to know that they were paying for the cost of operation for one-third of an hour on Christ- mas Eve.

One is in memory of a loved one whom God took from the inner circle some years before and the other are the sums which are sent to Barium Springs im- mediately following the death. of a friend. Both kinds of memorial sums are increasing, which is evi- dent from the substantial increase from $78.00 in the 12 months of 1932-1933 to the total of $828.20 | in the first 10 months of 1939-1940. | A wonderful way to show love and respect and esteem is to send mem orial contributions to Barium Springs. The name of the contribu- tor and the name of the one honor- ed are listed in a Book of Mem- orials that was established here and in which hundreds of names have already been recorded, _-—_—_—-—_____. There is an innate personal satis- faction in the heart of the individ- ual who sends a memorial gift in memory of a loved one. It is a noble way to express love for those who had meant so much to them in life, and it is also a means of voic- ing an appreciation of the impress and imprint which that loved one left behind. —_— No letter that we write to sor- rowing loved ones when memorial gifts are sent to Barium Springs calls for an answer, but many in- dividuals do voluntarily write te us te voice their gratefulness for the action which has been followed, which is in addition to their ex- pression of gratitude to the donors. Ovr files are full of letters from surviving relatives and they in- variably are greatly comforted by such procedures. One such letter read, “This acknowledges yours of the 5th as to a certain contribu- tion made by a friend of the family which fills me to such an extent that I am simply unequal to the task of making appropriate ac- knowledgment.” pee A recent issue of Orphan’s Work, a monthly periodical issued by Thornwell Orphanage, shows that the people of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are emulating the procedure of North Carolina friends of our Home for individuals of those States are sending mem- oria) amounts to our sister institu- tion in South Carolina. This was a inaugurated tn that territory, and it is growing like wildfire, even as the proce - dure is growing in great popularity in this Synod. Oftentimes this never occurs to an individual until some dear one in his or her family is called to the Heavenly Home. Their appre- ciation of gifts in memory of this ved one is so great that the sur- vivor immediately adopts it as his or her plan. eo It has been suggested that mem- orial gifts to Barium Springs be used for a definite and specific purpose, and this suggestion is be- ing given consideration here. One person remarked, “If I knew of a definite project the memorial sums were being used for, I’d double my gift each time.” Perhaps others feel similarly. No doubt someone has a dear one they would like to honor with a substantial donation and would like for it to be used for a particular purpose. We’d like to have some comment from friends about this. Barium Springs very acutely needs a church. How ever, it would take a pood many large memorial sums to erect a structure that would be a church and an educational building to- gether. At present, Little Joe's church is just the one large room, the school] buildings being utilized as Sunday School classrooms. {In November of 1936, a friend sent a substantial sum to Barium Springs and said that he expected to supplement with other dona tions, looking toward the establish- ment of a memorial fund at Ba (Continued On Page Three) Pag {« rium or td that trib this Bari has Adaj vidu 200.( of ti peri elim As ] inerq act be g tion ord By inchy ed al E thor of ry be pe r s y Al ee d — Page Three Memcrials ’ (Continued From Page Two) | rium Springs, the name of tne don- or to be given later on. He asked that we keep a record of his con- tributions. Since November, 1936 this friend has sent $1,200.00 is Barium Springs and this $1,200.00 has been permanently invest d. Additional gifts from that indi- vidual will also be added to the $1,- 200.00. He was unable to send all of this at one time, but by send nz! periodic sums along it has a-ready climbed to that impressive total. | As the years go on, he expcets to imerease that memorial fund. His! act is a commendable one. We will! be glad to receive other contrib »- tions of this nature and keep a rec- ord of them at Barium Springs. By the way, this $1,200.00 is not included in the memorial! gifts list- ed at the beginning of this column. —~—-~ ee 6 a —— Earlier in these paragraphic thoughts we mentioned our Beok! of Memorials.

The feeling that a! permanent record should be kept of memorial gifts actuated the es- | dablishment of this book. The list.’ ings were made _ retro-active through the fall of 1932, and ona} tf these days we may possibly go' back and list all the memorial} sums that can be found on our ree- ords before September of 1932. The Book of Memorials (or may- be the books later on) will always be kept in the office at Barium Springs and will be available for| inspection by anyone who desires to see them, ————— tl A cnc Just recently we received memorial gift of $25.00 in honor! ef someone who died several| months ago. The request was that! we use this zs part of the funds: to construct one of the pro- posed four units to replace the present Alepander Cottage. This requested was granted and that! $25.00 was added to that which has already been received at Barium Springs on the $10,000.00 that the ladies of the Synod will raise for! eur Home during the spring. In The Mailbag (Continued From Page Two) maintains a Birthday Box and o- pens it once a year - at Thanks- g#iving-time. ———-—~>- A friend in Gastonia had this to say in a letter last November. “T believe about 12 of our men vis- ited you on last Sunday, an? those with whom I have talked re urned with added enthusiasm. The chair- man is trying to arrange for about 20 other men, mostly Elders and Deacons, to make the trip on next Sunday. (Ed. Note: They came.) “One of our Elders said to the! writer Monday that he could not’ see how anyone could visit Barium. and not be ready to do his best -| and he had never been there. We} have others just like him. One vis- | it will convince the most skepti__ eal and my contention is that there will be no trouble to raise funds from those who visit Ba- a regardless of his walk in life.’ : That is testimony to the reac- tions to visits to Barium. Gastonia First sent two different delera- tions of men here. Incidentally. that Church increased its offering from $866.00 in 1938 to slightiy over $1,400 in 1989 - an increase that is cited in the licht of the foregoing letter and comment on a visit to Barium. ee Back in March of 1936 two little friends, ages four ard five, start- éd a monthly plan of sending con- tributions to Barium Springs. They started off with $1.50 a month - $18.00 for the year. In January of 1937, they increased their gift to $2.00 a month - $24.00 per annum. In May of that same year, another increase was noted, these little friends changing to $2.50 per month, or $30.00 for the year. That kept up until February of this year, “or we recently received a letter in which they said, “We want to wish you and the ¢hildren at Barium Springs Home a very happy and properous New Year, and the best way to do that is to, send you our check for $3.00 - not that we are any richer this year, | but just more thankful.” That’s| going to mean $36.00 for a 12-: month period from these children who are now eight and nine years of age. That’s twice as much as} they started out to send in 1936, ' and a most remarkable increase in giving is that. They have had a lot | of fun helping us at Barium Springs, but they haven’t had as good a time as we have in welcom- ing the donations here.

We know we have been neglect- ful in not letting our friends hear from us but we have been so busy milking the cows, wrestling, play- ing in the snow and all the other things that happen here. Can you wonder why we haven't written? We are so happy over the thought of having a new cottage next Winter. We have felt the need of one so much during the recent cold weather, We put on most all the clothes we had and then we were not any too com- fortable. All our family went to see, “The Fighting 69th.” This was a re- ward for faithful attendance at | Christian Endeavor. Leslie Smith, eighth grader, and Hervy Stricklin, seventh grader, won the show tickets this month for improvement in their work.

We have enjoy- fident that the interest of these two youngsters is an inspiration to all; it’s certainly a great in- spiration to us. Se This little paragraph doesn’t really belong under the heading “In the Mailbag” for it didn’t hap- pen by letter, but we think this is an idea] spot to tell of an incident that occurred recently. A friend was returning home from a vaca- tion in Florida, He was eames | his destination when he reached Barium Springs. Finding that he! | had spent $19.00 less on the Flori-) da trip than he had expected to! use, he stcpped by Barium and! left that $10.00 with us! Moral:! If you take a vacation and fail to! spend your anticipated budget for | the rest-peroid, remember that | we'll be delighted to pass through such a happy experience as that recounted above. Wednesday afternoon, Some of our girls have been sick with flu. They are well now and we are glad to have them back with us, We have enjoyed using the show | tickets Mr. Sams gave to us for, a Christmas present and we want to thank him for them. We have organized a sewing club and we are making dresser | and table scarfs for our rooms. We are putting rick-rack on them to match our curtains, We hope to do other things in the future. —Grace Adams. —FElise Ferguson. February 1, 1940. fl cd INFIRMARY. Dear Readers, Another month has passed and} it’s time to write you again. The months are passing away fast and soon it will be graduation. Mr. Lyons was down a few weeks ago and took class pictures for The Spotlight. Sadie Milis will graduate and leave us at the Infirmary. We are surely going to miss her. We have a few patients at the Infirmary now. Last week Billy Lindsay was sick with a slight case of pneumonia. He is well now and has gone back to his cottage. Ray Lewis and Pau] Barnes are getting along nicely. We had a big snow on_ the ground that lasted nearly two weeks. Now it’s gone and left the ground muddy.

Several of our girls went to the musie club, They were Sarah Par- cell, Billie Ammons, Evelyn Cop- pedge, Betty Whittle, Louise Eve-' rett, and Myrtle Mills. They re- ported a good time, Well, the Orphanage Tourna- ment is ail over and we didn’t win out, but our girls played in| the finals. The boys happened to! lose out the first night.

We've had more bas- ketball this month than we could see, The game with Lexington High was real good. We suppose you know who won. The boys made: up for the game lost at the tour-; nament. The second floor girls have a new matron. Or course she isn’t; new to everyone on the campus, | but she’s new to us. We having Mrs. Robinson with and we hope she enjoys it. The school year is going by very fast, so everyone had better be} getting on good terms with the} seniors, We hope everyone has been noticing Daisy Cayton’s new hair, style. It’s so becoming to her. | Since basketball has _ started some of our girls are falling off. | Flora Newman has lost about three pounds playing, Jeannette Cobb and Daisy Cayton lost some hollering.

A few of us got knock- | ed in the head with a snowball, The morning after it snowed| Mary Bowles, the baby, said, “The! snow is so high I tan’t walk in it.” Hilda and Helen Barnes had a visit from their father, uncle and aunt Jast week. Since we have been snowed in we have enjoyed playing with the animals, dolls and other toys that Santa brought, We have enjoyed our storybooks, too. | Our star story teller this oe is Peggy Joyce Land. She told! the story of Peter Rabbit. She| chased him all the way from Mr.} McGregor’s cabbage patch and, back home, Jackie Porterfield and | Helen Barnes sat with their eyes | and mouths wide open trying to; help Peter get back home, Rachel Pullard said “Peter was too smart” and Vivien Bowles said he i enjoy us. i was naughty.

Such condi tions as they affect the childrer were freely discussed and reme- dies of one sort and another were brought forward. Inte this debate Mr. Johnston. tossed for discussion the problem of forced family migration. This question concerns those families who come in contact with the law and are forced to migrate from one community to another. For exam- ple: A mother with a family fac- ing starvation and unable to se- cure any means of support, may resort to bootlegging or to other unlawful methods to get money to feed her family. When she is brought into court the judge, see- ing the circumstances, is unwilling to, send her to prison, but simply orders her to leave the county. In such a case conditions are simply repeated in whatever section the family seeks refuge, and, with the additional misfortune for the children, that they are not the law- ful charges of the community to 1: il¢ | which they migrate and therefore | not entitled to relief there. -P. O. H.- The story is told, in substance, that a talkative lady with an im- aginary trouble finally went to a certain specialist. After lis- tening to her and talking with her, he told her nothing was the mat- ter and that she needed only rest. Becoming angry, she said: “To think that I should go te all this trouble and expense just to have you tell me that al] I need is a rest. Why, you haven’t even look- ed at my tongue.” Said the famous specialist, “Let me see your tongue.” Examining it he said, “It needs rest, too!” Lily Bryant, have been giving us exercise. They open the windows and we count one, two, three, four. So long. See you next month. Same time and same station. —The Babies.

Lillian Cranfill, Hannah Price. Lucille Stricklin, Pearl Morgan, Adelia Knight and Toni DeLancey all had visics from their people since we wrote you last. Some of our girls were sick, but they are all well now. Miss Bell, the fourth grade teacher, is sick and we all hope she will be well real soon. We are using the show tickets that Mr. Sams gave us and we are enjoying them a lot. We had the birthday table this past Wednesday (Jan, 24) and the ones that went reported a nice din- ner.

The children are having loads of fun snow-~-balling and riding on their sleds that Santa Claus brought them. We have been mighty fortunate here at Barium in not having so much sickness as there has been in some other places. Mr. Thomas has been sending us so many nice apples for several! weeks. They are beauties, too. None of us had a birthday this month, but a few of us will hel; to eat the birthday dinner in Feb ruary. We all seem to be getting along just fine in school. Some of us lit tle girls are already beginning t make Valentines in school. Myrtle Rushing had a visit from her mother last Sunday, and she she surely was glad to see her.

C., March 1940 a No. 6 SS 475 CHURCHES YET T0 EQUAL LAST YEAR'S SUMS If These Churches Could Equal Last Year’s Totals, Barium Would Receive $13,794.78 On February 29, 1940, 375 churches or mission points in the North Carolina Synod were yeu to equal their 1988-1939 totals to Ba- rium Springs. If everyone of those 375 could give sums in March that would bring the current year’s to- tal up to last year’s aggregate then Barium Springs would receive $15,- 794.78 from those 375 churches, besides that which would be con- tributed by the 156 that have al- ready equalled or surpassed the 1938-1939 gifts. Of the 375 churches, 25 of them lacked less than $1.00 of coming up to last year’s total; 80 of them between $1.00 and $4.99; 61 of them lacked from $5.00 to $9.99, and 209 of them needed $10.90 or more to be classified with the equallers and exceeders. It is known that in the first nine days of March more than a dozen of these 375 churches had forwarded sums that made a transfer of them necessary. This transfer will be made later, for the information prepared for The Messenger has to pe aone on a monthiy basis. Below will be found the names ; of the 375 churches and the amount needed (only figures are give for those needing $10.00 or more): Amount Church Behind Charlotte ist .......... ........ - seer, 008.68 Durham Ist ... — Charlotte 2nd...

B. Johnston, superintendent. This has been twice called to his atten- tion in March, the first being a long-distance telephone call from a party in Morehead City and the second being in a letter from North Wilkesboro where one young man claimed to be a graduate of Barium Springs and another claim- ed to be a current resident of the Home. “No graduate of Barium Springs,” said Mr. Johnston, “has ever been given any authority to solicit magazines,” and the super- intendent emphatically declared that anyone claiming to have been a resident here is an imposter and a fake. “These salesmen consist- ently use this ruse,” he further continued, “to incite the sympathy of people in giving them subscrip- tions to magazines and quite fre- quently the money é¢ teken and subscribers never receive any pub- (Continued On Page Two) GOOD NEWS Just before going to press with the March issue of The Messenger, the good news was received here that Salem Sun- day School, in Orange Presby- tery, has adopted the Offering- per-month plan, devoting the first Sunday contributions to Barium Springs. It is a pleasure to add this Sunday School to that ever-increasing number of “once-a-monthers”. As the new 1940-1941 year gets under way, it is hoped that a good many other Sunday Schools will incorporate this plan in their program, and when such happy news is revealed to officials at Barium Springs, a public announcement will be made of it, Almost 300 Sunday Schools now regularly help Ba- rium Springs.

It may be impossible for some few checks to reach the institution by the 30th, so the receipt books will be open a few days to receive these. However, it is hoped that the majority of the funds will be received by the closing date, and that final receipts the early part of April will constitute only a small part of the income interest in Barium. are keenly interested in the con- tributions for the building units quick response with receipts al- ready ahead of expectations.

It would have been thrilling if all of the more than 27,000 ladies in the Synodi- cal could have witnessed that as- sembly and listened in on the dis- cussions. There are 17 official members of this committee, nine of whom are Presbyterial Presidents, Every one of those Presbyterial Presi- | dents was present that day, with six other committee members. Only two were absent, one of these be- ing out of the state at the time and the other detained by illness in her family. In attendance at the conference were Jus. B. Johnsioa, superintendent of the Home here, and Ernest Milton, treasurer, who were present to answer all ques- tions of the committee. Mrs. C, E. Raynal, of Statesville, Synodica] Secretary of Orphanage Work, presided and Mrs. Coit M. Robinson, of Lowell, Synodical Recording Secretary, was present to act as secretary of the meeting. The session at 11 a. m. was start- ed off with each person present giving a verse of Scripture fol- lowed by a series of sentence pray- ers with almost everyone partici- pating. Following this Mrs. Raynal out- lined the purpose of the meeting, which had been called to familia- rize the committee members with the project, to set a time for the raising of the $10,000, to adopt a | slogan, to devise ways and means of raising the funds, to suggest publicity methods to be used, and to discuss any other particular matters pertaining to the success- ful carrying out of the resolution adopted by Synodical at its Ruth- erfordton meeting last fall.

( HERE News From Some of the Cottages HOWARD 5 Glad to be back again on this beautiful day. Spring is almost here and we are glad! We have been having a lot of basketball games and our girls are leading the conference to date. We went to the show a week ago and saw ‘Gulliver’s Travels.” We sure did like it a lot. Two more months and _ school will be out and we will have va- cations to look forward to. Our matron, Mrs. Moose, fell on Sunday morning and fractured a small bone in her arm, we are sorry to say. We are sure she will get over it soon. Some of our girls have had vis- its from their people. Mrs. Moose’s people came to see her one day last week. Miss Nannie Johnston, who stays at our cottage, went to her home near Charlotte this week- end for a visit. ANNIE LOUISE it seems only a short time ago that we wrote you last. We are all getting along just fine in our school work. Lorene Hall, Anne Wicker and Callie Dunn made the honor roll. We are proud of them. Mr. Johnston’s birthday was the second of March and the Virginia Hall Mission Band had a surprise party for him. Everyone that went had a good time. We went to a show not long ago to see “Gulliver’s Travels” and it was a mighty good show, too. Anne Wicker had a little party on her birthday. We got up a lit- tle play and gave it. Then Anne served cake and candy. We all had a nice time. Anne Wicker, Betty Lou Hooten and Lorene Hall went to the birthday table in February. Our jonquils are blooming and we think they are lovely. We shall be playing our class games of basketball before very long. We have lots of fun when we play them. Juanita Young had a nice vis- it from her father last Sunday, and she surely was glad to see him. Betty Joe Smith’s sister, Marie, was here also. She brought her baby, Patricia. We’re mighty proud of our bas- ketball teams, which will get lov- ing cups for being 1940 champions. Those of us in the second grade had a grand time at Tommy Cook’s pretty Valentine party. EB ene BABY COTTAGE Time certainly does fly when it comes to writing news. We have been having a spell of pleasant weather lately. However, this weather is just our type of weather. We all enjoyed the show about “Gulliver’s Travels.” Did someone ask if we had any eases of chicken pox? Fourteen out of twenty-eight babies have had it so far, That’s a fifty-fifty rec- ord. We have beer going to a good many basketball games and wrest- ling meets lately. We sure do en- joy seeing them. Kazzie Mae Hilliard, Jackie Williams, and Dwight Reid have had visits from their folks. It’s good to see you and since the Penther is improving we hope to see many more of you often. We may be what is called over anxious but we have already start- ed counting the number of days we have left in this school term. | Junior Lybrand, Albert Clough, and Charles Stevens all had birth- days this month. Albert is our youngest boy and he is four years old now. Jack Weeks led our “setting-up” exercises last week; also our de- votional period. The Baby Cottage received a ve- ry pretty picture from the Be- ginner’s Department of the Sunday School at Davidson. Thank you, little folks, for the picture. —The Wee Ones _—_———ae WOMAN’S BUILDING. First Floor. Any one hear? Well I just drop- ped in to tell you the news and if you know what’s in store for you, you'll stay a minute or two. First, I'll start with a big sur- prise for everyone (which is con- cerning basketball). Our boys and girls won the conference champ- ionships and were we glad. We have two pretty trophies to } show for our championships. This makes the second time the girls have won. It seems to be a habit with them, o- at least we hope so. The girls on the squad who stay on the first floor are Grace Cop- pedge, Agnes Coppedge, Wilma Jessup, Mary Ann McCormick, Sal- lie Farmer, Thelma Robards and Nancy Parcell. Most of these girls graduate in April (but let’s not mention that now because we hate to think of leaving our home where most of ys have stayed most of our life). Everyone seems to be taking ad- vantage of their show tickets which was a Christmas present to all of us. Most of us went to see “I Take This Woman” and thought it was very good. But the talk now is “Gone With the Wind” which a few are hoping to see On March 2nd we had a birth- day party for our “dad” and was he surprised! The Senior Class has_ elected their mascot and she is Hilda Don- aldson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Donaldson, who are now living near Barium. One of our girls, Sara Parcell, has been having trouble with her ear. She had an operation for mas- toid but now she’s back home and we are mighty glad. Well, since I said I’d only stay a minute I'll close with hopes that you'll visit us soon. —Mary Ann McCormick. isabelle sais LEE’S COTTAGE. The time has rolled around and we find ourselves bringing more news from our cottage. The marble season is well on now and the boys are having lots of fun playing. Richard Shoaf, Raymond Good and Billy Everett are racing for the championship of our cottage, The basketball season has come to an end. We are proud of hav- ing won the South Piedmont Con- ference for both the girls and boys. A number of the boys are in- terested in raising chickens. At the present time Herbert McMas- ters, Stanley Smith, O. D. Munday, Wilfred McLelland and Bobby Whittle are spending their spare time in the business. Charles Smith has added to his collection of ani- mals a beautiful flock of pigeons. Miss Turner spent the week-end visiting her friends in Charlotte and Gastonia. Miss Mary Neill was subsitute matron while Miss Turner was away, and we enjoyed having her with us very much, We were glad to see our friend, Ray Lewis, out to one of our bas- ketball games. We hope he is soon going to be able to come back to the cottage to live. Marshal] Norris had a pleasant surprise recently when two of his clothing people paid him a visit. They brought us a lot of good magazines which we appreciated very much, Your news commentator was ‘happy to have a letter from a | good friend whom he had _ not heard from for a long time, through | the writing of this column, We will be bringing you the }news again next month. Until then, “so long”, Jack Weeks. ee SYNOD’S COTTAGE We're back again to tell you what we’ve been doing since you last heard from us, We all went to see Gulliver’s Travels, It was real funny and we | all enjoyed it so much. Some of us are still talking about it, Jimmy Hayes had a mastoid | operation, but he is well and back with us now, | Since you heard from us last we have added another boy to our number, He is Johnny Merony. | Basketball season is over for our big boys and girls. But not for us. | We will be playing class games | pretty soon. | We only have seven more weeks | of school. We can hardly wait Marble season is here again, We | bows lots of fun with them dur- ing our playtime, We certainly will | be glad when it gets warm enough | to build tents. Some of us are try- ing to rush the season up a little. It won’t be long until the civic club supper. We hope to see all of you friends up. Mr. Johnston bad a_ birthday this month. We“fupe he'll have many more happy ones to follow. Tommy Cook had a Valentine party and those of us lucky enough to be in the second grade were in- yited, —The Synod Boys. <-> INFIRMARY Here we are with a few lines of news from our cottage. Mr. Johnston had a birthday Saturday, and the Virginia Hall girls and Miss Carpenter surprised him with a party. We all enjoyed it and hope he has many more birthdays. Charlie Sears, a former Barium brought fruit to the patients. We didn’t get to thank him in person, but we want him to know that we appreciate it. We have four patients from the hospital; Ray Lewis, Sara Parcell, Myrtle Mills, and Paul Barnes. They are getting along fine. Albert Clough and Jerry Ennis are our only chicken-pox patients. We are hoping they will be up before this news reaches you, Our school will be out in April, and we have twenty-five to finish this year. This includes our best basketball girls. Our basketball season is over, and the boys and girls came out on top. Sadie and Myrtle Mills had a visit from their mother. We both enjoyed it, Ray Lewis had ia little visit from his clothing people. He en- joyed it and also the fruit they brought him, Our number of patients has been little compared to most institutions. We have been greatly blessed this year, Geraldine Blue had a birthday Sunday, and Louise, Lily and Sadie enjoyed giving her the works. Mrs. McNatt is expecting her daughter sometime this week. —Sadie Mills. 375 Churches Yet to “Equal (Continued From -——- One) Jonesboro ........ 68 Rockingham ...... “18.37 Cross Roads 17.70 New Bern .... 77.59 Maxton ....... 75.96 Spray : 12.54 Centre (C) | “ 15.40 Bethel (0) ....... 72.57 Saint Paul 71.99 Red Springs ... 70.84 Monroe ...... 69.38 Roanoke Rapids. cone 2-66.86 | Patterson boy, came by the other night and | Bethesda (F) — Third Creek . 64.63 Greenville 3.70 Marion cebemaie-« 09 Gilwood sniieal' ae 1.68 Shelby ...... iz A West End Mulberry ee ‘ .

They claim to be working for the Union Cir- culation Co., 5 Columbia Circle, New York City. No names were given in the Morehead City tele- phone call, but Mr. Johnston was able to deny the claims without any names being furnished him.

From Statesville will come the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions Clubs and from Mooresville will be the Rotary and Kiwanis groups. Good weather is conducive to larger at- tendances, but that doesn’t play as big a deterrent in the people coming to this supper as it affects attendances at some other acti- vities, In addition to the meal, some of the Barium children will pre- pare a program for the entertain- ment of the visitors. A platform is always erected in the dining room and after the meeting the visitors can sit back and enjoy the performance of these Barium boys and girls. The clubs make a contribution to the Home for this supper, gen- erally using 50 cents per person as a basis for their gifts and quite frequently add something to what this would amount to as an ex- pression of their further appre- ciation of this annual meal, which is largely made up of foods raised on the farms here.

These finally triumphed and emerged to be crowned 1940 title | holders from a field of 32 teams | that started out in the tournament on the first day. _ Paw Creek’s girls won their for- tieth consecutive game on Febrv- | ary 19th when they turned back Catawba’s girls by a score of 25 to 19. Catawba had won the title in 1939 and was therefore the de- fending girls’ champion. Clare- mont’s boys edged out Rock Springs, 30 to 25, on the final night, which was a great climax to some close and exciting tus- sles, particularly those in the semi-finals and finals. The field of 32 teams included representatives from nine counties within a radius of 60 miles of Ba- rium Springs and three counties were represented in the final con- tests. This annual affair is spon- sored by the Barium Springs Athletic Association, the proceeds of which are used to finance the athletic program here. Income is derived from the refreshment stand and admission charges. Loving cups went to the two winning teams and gold basket- balls to the individuals on the victorious contingents. Silver bas- ketballs were given those on run- ner-up teams. Foul-shooting tro- phies went to Helen Willard, of Sedge Garden, ard Richard Feim- | ster, of Scotts, for caging 19 and 20 fouls, respectively, in 25 at- tempts. Cool Springs’ team was selected as the best-dressed sex- tette, Emblems were later sent to to those named on ail tournament teams, The follow: Girls: Forwards, Elliott (Cataw- ba), Morrow (Claremont) and Nan- tz (Paw Creek); guards, Lassiter (Paw Creek), M. Barker (Rock er and M. Stewart (Cataw- a). Boys: Fowards, Deal (Clare- mont) and VanPelt (Paw Creek); center, McCall (Rock Springs); guards, C. Deal (Sharon of Ire- dell) and C. Best (Claremont).

Catawba’s girls and Barium Springs’ boys are 1940 champions of the Junior Mid-Piedmont tourna- ment that was staged here on March 7th, 8th and 9th. Catawba’s girls defeated Barium Springs’ sextette, 22 to 20, in the finals on Saturday night, and the Barium Springs’ quintet won over Spencer, 81 to i6. The former game was far more exciting as indicated by the close score, The tournament was so arranged that a team had to be defeated all-tournament selections tournament | THE BARIUM MESSENGER | ——_____....._._______________—__—_—_—___ hh» Barium Teams Are Champions | Barium Is Third In (Continued From Page One) | Children’s Home sextette which won the state orphanage basket- | ball title by nosing out the Pres- | | byterian performers in the finals | | of the state tourney held at Lex- ington, Barium’s boys won their first | basketball championship this year | since entering the South Pied- | mont conference, Neither did the | quintet have a perfect slate of victories for the season, for two- | point losses were administered to | by Spencer and Lexington.

Here’s the way that increase was divided: Regular Income $ 639.88 Thanksgiving Offering 3,408.11 Total Increase $4.047.99 Will that increase be maintained in the final month of the current year? If the answer to that query is going to be in the affirmative it will be because of larger regular giving to the Home at Barium Springs and not because of the Thanksgiving Offering. Records show that in March and the first few days of April last year that slightly over $1,600.00 Thanks- giving Offering was received at Barium Springs, while a thousand dollars of Thanksgiving Offering is expected in March of this year. In other words, the Thanksgiving Offering has arrived with more alacrity in 1939-1940 than in 1938- 1939. than the final sum for 1938. The net gain to date is $1,799.32.

He gave a his- | tory of the present Alexander building, praised its one-time use- fulness as a wood-work shop but decried its inadequacy and un- adaptability as a cottage, He then launched into a description of the new units and was plied with ques- tions by this interested group, who wanted to be fortified with all information possible to carry back to their respective localities. Mr. Milton explained some financial matters relating to the building of | the four units. “Every woman giving some- thing” is the slogan that was adopted on March 5th, and the committee members felt that if this was realized that no difficul- ty would be experienced in the raising of $10,000 by more than | | Am't.

Increases from these Presbyteries have been Concord, $1,832.68; Orange, $651.- 20; Kings Mountain, $573.35, and Fayetteville, $341.52, These four Presbyteries made a combined in- crease of $3,398.75 in their fhanksgiving Offerings, which has been offset by total decreases of $1,599.43 in Albemarle, Gran- ville, Mecklenburg, Wilmington and Winston-Salem Presbyteries. Actual amounts needed by these latter five to equal the 1938 Thanksgiving totals are: Granville, $595.62; Mecklenburg, $433.29; Albemarle, $425.94; Wilmington, $120.97, and Winston-Salem, $23.- 61. The only special comment on the standing of the various Presbyter- ies at the end of February is that pertaining to the spotlight which Orange Presbytery occupied last month, Orange hurdled two other The total Thanksgiving Offer- | Presbyteries to go from sixth into ing in hand is, of course, greater | fourth place, which meant that Mecklenburg and Albemarle Pres- byteries dropped back one notch each. nd pledges were to be given, the | eommittee felt that contributions | eould be made in cash by June 30th. Emphasis would not be plac- -|ed upon pledges, except in those "268.48 | - | Presbyterials where they were al- ready taken and which were des- ignated as payable this spring. It was a great meeting, to be sure, and everybody left Sanford that day with a feeling that this 190.86 | project of raising $10,000 by the Synodical would be carried through to a happy completion within the time limit set by the committee. Adjournment was at 2:40 p. m., the | noon hour being spent as guests of the Sanford Auxiliary members who served a delicious three-course | lunch to all who attended. Mrs. W. H. Belk, of Charlotte; Mrs. R. F. Reins, of Lenoir, and Mrs. H. M. McAllister, of Lumber- | ton were named as a publicity com- mittee. It was decided by seven of the Presbyterials that day that they would like to have a postcard of the proposed quadrangle, and arrangements are now being made to Have these available around April 1st. Five-minute talks be- fore the Auxiliaries, prayer groups, posters, articles in The Messenger and articles in the newspaper's will be other mediums of publicity used in presenting this to the la- dies of the Synodical. The committee decided to select the northwest unit of the quad- rangle as the one for them to con- struct. This unit will have a large basement in it which is to be a playroom, It was felt by the com- mittee members that if more than the $10,000 necessary was raised for construction that the surplus funds could be used to furnish the playroom, This will be the central recreation room for all four of the cottages, Those present for the Sanford meeting were Mrs. Raynal, Miss Louise Clanton, Charlotte, Synodi- eal President; Miss May White, Miss Maggie Barnhardt, and Mrs. A.

There were three who received honor for “Most Im- | finishing since it’s provement.” These were Lorene Brown and John Ellis for basket- ball and Jessie Weeks for wrest- ling. Lacy Beshears was voted captain for the wrestling team. Well, I guess this winds up on winter athletics. We have been having some soft- ball games lately. The boys have three teams and the faculty has one and if you really want to see some real softball, “Come up and see us sometime!” There’s always room to talk about the weather so I guess since spring was “supposed” to be here I'll say something about that three-inch snow we had on Easter. Were we surprised! And, I guess you were, too. We not only wel- comed the snow but also a few al- umni. They were Mrs. Glenn Coble (Helen Brown), Nellie Johnson and Helen Price. We were cer- tainly glad to have them and hope they will return soon. On Friday, March 29th, we had our annual Civie Club banquet and everyone enjoyed it very much.

The sun drove back the rain Friday in plenty of time to make the late March afternoon and ear- ly evening perfect for the annual gathering of civic clubs at Barium Springs. Superintendent Johnston, Mrs. Johnston and Miss Ann Fay- ssoux Johnston, with other mem- bers of the orphanage family, were out in front of Rumple Hall to give cordial greeting to civic club members and their families as they came in from Statesville and Mooresville, Early comers gath- ered in small clusters about the yard, chatting informally on vari- ous topics and enjoying the per- fect spring weather while await- ing the supper bell. The pleasantly informal gather- ;ing of the civic clubs at Barium, an annual gathering, seemed even more pleasant this year than usual, Attendance was variously estima- ted—it’s impossible scmehow to count a crowd in that huge dining room—but the number must have heen close around 799, counting the Barium youngsters who came in to fill a small number of empty chairs here and there in the din- ing room. Number of plates serv- ed was about fifteen to twenty less than last year, according to reports from Rumple Hall kitchen. A half dozen civic clubs participa- ted this year for Mooresville has a new Lions club and now there are three clubs—Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions—from each community. After supper Mr. Johnston had a word of welcome, as cordial as it was brief, and the program— entirely a home product by the grammar grades of Barium Springs, with everybody taking part first grade up through sev- enth, was varied and delightful. The small stage was a Dutch garden, the footlights in a row of bright tulips and a perfect repre- sentation of a Dutch windmill in background, In this setting the youngsters gave their program of songs and dances, stunts and a fashion show. A tin soldiers’ drill by boys of the first grade and china dolls’ dance by little girls from the same room was first. The small soldiers were erect in white paper hats and the ‘dolls’ just like real dolls in bright dresses, with equally at- tractive straight black bobs or long blonde curls, and stiff doll- like movements of head and arms. In the tin soldiers’ drill were Mack Caldwell, Aaron Linville, Norvin Hillard, Amie Lybrand, Fred Feimster, Jackie Williams and the dolls were Clara Mangum, Essie Lock for us next time. — Lillie McDonald.

Since both of the var- sity basketball contingents had cop- ped championship titles in the South Piedmont conference in 1940, it was only natural that these per- formers were the center of atten- tion of approximately 200 people in the dining room, about 25 of whom were guests from nearby localities, R. E, Jackins was the efficient toastmaster of the evening, and he went into action following the deli- cious meal, Except for remarks made in the many presentations only two people were called upon for impromptu remarks. These were Rev. E. G. Carson and Coach Kelly, both of Statesville, the former’s remarks being along the humorous vein, and Coach Keily’s of a more serious nature when he paid tribute to Barium Springs for its contribution to the youth of America, Various captains for next year were announced by R. G. Calhoun to be Lacy Beshears, to lead the wrestlers; Mary Ann McCormick, girls’ basketball and Arthur Roach, boys’ basketball. Marjorie Lail was named alternate captain of the girls’ sextette and Hugh Norman was selected as alternate captain of the boys’ team. The Alwyn Morrison awards to the performers on the wrestling and basketball teams showing most improvement during the sea- son went to Jesse Weeks, state title holder in his weight; John Ellis, on the boys’ basketball team and Lorene Brown, of the girls’ basketeers. Other awards are made by Mr. Morrison for footbail per- formers, all of these being in mem- ory of his father. Barium basketball performers had selected their most valuable players on the varsity basketball outfits this year and these were announced to be Agnes Coppedge, of the girls, and Rex Lewis, of the boys. Their names will be engraved on permanent trophies given by individuals and kept at Barium Springs. Certificate presentations were made by Lafayette Donaldson, former Barium grappler, to the wrestlers; Ralph Spencer to the 125-pound basketball team which won the Junior Mid-Piedmont tour- nament at Barium Springs; W. A. Diehl, faculty member, to the sev- enth and eight grade girls; George Neel, 1989 coach, to the varsity girls and Jos. B, Johnston to the varsity boys’ court contingent. Cer- tificate winners follow: Wrestling: Capt. Jesse Howard Beshears, Billy Billy Lindsay, Donald Bolton, Tommy Adams, Lacy Beshears, Standish McKenzie, Ben Lewis and Mott Price. 125-Pounders: Weeks, McCall, George Norris, William Billings, Ed Williamson, Jack Weeks, Tommy Lindsay, Vance Smith and Cecil Starling.

Mr, Johnston also made a spec- ial certificate award to Miss Irene McDade, now a member of the Ba- rium faculty, whom he described as “a member of the last out-door team which practiced and without a coach.” He would not reveal the year.

Secretary Says My Dear Diary, A whole week has passed and I have not been able to find a minute to tell you all the good things that | have happened to Barium Springs. | Last Tuesday morning, April | the 2nd, Miss Clanton stopped in Concord for me to go to the first Presbyterial meeting. Diary, you know how nervous I am about public speaking but when we reached Clinton, where the Wil- mington Presbyterial was being held, I was not the least bit fright- ened - first, because I was back home and in the Presbyterial I had first learned to love and know about Barium Springs. So I was happy to have an opportunity to tell everyone there how badly Ba- rium needs the new buildings and how we are counting on the wo- men of the Synodical not only to build the building but furnish it. And were they enthusiastic? ? They not only voted to raise their quota for the new building but that the Presbyterial offering ; should go to that cause. You can understand, Diary, how that inspired me to tell the Albe- marle Presbyterial on April 4th in New Bern all the details of our plans. Surrounded by generous hospitality and the peaceful setting of one of our most exquisite churches, our new building _ be- came a very real issue. Again the response was marvelous and the offering from the Albemarle Pres- byterial will also go to one cottage. Today we leave for the Fay- etteville and Granville Presbyter- ials. I wish I could wait and tell you how interested they will be. I have heard that Fayetteville Pres- byterial will already have her quota when we reach Aberdeen - I can hardly wait to see! Iam saving the amount my Presbyterial has raised for a big surprise. We are so proud of them and to work for Barium Orphan- age with their help and prayers has been a pleasure. Goodbye until next Diary. MARTHA B. YORKE, Secretary of Orphanage Work, Concord Presbyterial. Tuesday, [ GOOD NEWS } Hear ye! Hear ye! Lend your ears and eyes and hearts to the following: The Men’s Bible Class of the Rocky Mount First Sun- day School in Albemarle Pres- bytery had a savings account that had been accumulating and it was voted by the Class to send it to Barium Springs. A check for $360.00 was re- ceived in time to be a part of the 1939-1940 giving of that Class which has amazingly increased its monthly offer- ings to Barium Springs with- in recent years, At the close of 1939-1940, the Morganton First Sunday School in Concord Presbytery sent a special gift of $100.00 to Barium Springs and thus becomes a member of the $100.00 Club. Morganton First sent $50.00 at the end of 1938-1939. Front Street Sunday School, also in Concord Presbytery, has re-instated the offering- per-month plan and sent a fine sum for the final quar- ter of 1939-1940. Carthage Sunday Schoo! in Fayetteville has been follow- ing the fifth Sunday plan in 1939-1940, but this was not known at Barium Springs un- til an excellent check was re- ceived for the fifth Sunday do- nations of the past year. Hills Sunday School, in Wimston-Salem Presbytery, started the Offering-per- month plan in March, and sent a splendid second-Sunday re- sponse for the closing month of the year with others to fol- low in 1940-1941. It looks like big things are again ahead of the Home here in this Sunday Schoo! support, and just as fast as others join in a systematic way of aiding, just so fed will rev- elations be made_ through these columns, WHAT SUNDAY SCHOOL OR MEN’S BIBLE CLASS OR LADIES’ BIBLE CLASS WILL BE NEXT LISTED UNDER THE ABOVE HEADING.

B. Johnston, superintendent. He stated that he was not at liberty to reveal the names of the donors nor the locality in which they lived but! said that “later on when the time arrives for naming the cottages the identity of those responsible will probably be made public.” are proposed for a quadrangle dairy boys and in which the print- ing office and shoe shop are also located. The first $10,000 gift, Mr. Johnston recalled, was made last December by a Charlotte friend who is an officer in the Myers Park Presbyterian church. “Announcement of this gift to- day,” said the superintendent, “is an assurance of three of the four proposed units, for the ladies of the North Carolina Synodical have pledged themseives to raise $10,000 by June 30th. A recent meeting in Sanford of the committee appoint- ed for this puspose was almost perfectly attended and the pre- liminary reports of gifts by Aux- iliaries of the Synod is an assur- ance to us that the Presbyterian ladies will reach their goal of $10,- This is the second $10,000 sum which has been given anony- mously to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home within the past sev- eral months, both sums to be used for two of four cottages that of units to be built. These four cottages will be used as a replacement of the present Alexander building, which is now used as a dormitory for the 000.” The superintendent of the home at Barium Springs went on to say “We feel that some individual or a family might be found within a short time to complete this quad- rangle for us this summer by mak- ing another gift of $10,000. The total cost of the project will be $40,000.” Mr. Johnston explained that the present Alexander building was originally intended as a woodwork shop, but that it had been used as a dormitory since 1920, though it was never intended as such. A replacement has long been needed “and we feel mighty good’, he said, “that the Synodical and several friends are making possi- ble its elimination.” { Wilmington Presbyterial Day On May 10th ' May 10th is Wilmington Pres- byterial day at Barium Springs! That is the day which has been set aside for as many representa- tives from Wilmington Presbyter- ial to visit the Home as can pos- sibly come. Even though the dis- tance between Barium Springs and that particular area of North Ca- rolina is considerable, yet a splen- did delegation is expected here for a few hours’ visit, during which time they will have dinner with all of the children at the noon-day meal, Other Presbyterials have had special days when they visited Ba- rium Springs. Last year 95 peo- ple came from 19 churches _ in Fayetteville Presbyterial for a vis- it, there has been a Concord Pres- byterial Day, one for Orange Pres- byterial and others. It is gratify- ing when these days are arranged, for a good many people visit the Home for the first time in their experience.

He felt that he could do no better than to quote the catechism | which says that “man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him | forever.” He said that in that! statement was summed up the Christian’s view of life, Emphasis | was laid, too, upon the second por- tion of the catechism answer, “for when you have learned to enjoy | God, you have learned a great les- son in life.” Two Sunday Sermons. “Becoming Like Christ” and “Freedom of Youth” were respec- tive subjects of helpful sermons delivered at Barium Springs on Sunday, April 21st, by Rev. M. P. Calhoun and Rey. Samuel S. Wiley, respectively, as they appeared in the first major part of the 1940 commencement program, Rev. Mr. Calhoun, pastor of the Presbyter- ian Church at St. Pauls, deliver- ed the baccalaureate sermon at the morning service, and Rev. Mr. Wiley, pastor of the Thomasvill: Presbyterian Church, spoke to the young people’s societies at the evening exercises. In his introductory remarks, the St. Pauls pastor told the graduates that they have attained because of hard work and that they had their ideals which he urged them to hold on to because God had placed them there for a purpose. In ad- dition to the attainment that had already been reached and_ those | ideals, Mr. Calhoun told his hear- ers that they must have a definite goal or purpose. As a glowing example of this he cited the Apos- tle Paul and plead with the seniors “in the name of Christ to consider the goal of becoming like Christ,” asserting that this was Paul’s goal and became an obsession with him. The seniors were informed that they had two choices of a goal either “God or yourself,” and if the latter were selected he remind- ed the graduates that they could not serve God and mammon; that in all their choices it must be either of these two. Praise, power over people, ob- taining possessions and selfishness were cited as some of the false goals sought by humanity, but he contended that Panl's goal was always the same purpose, the high calling of God in Christ Jesus af- ter his experience on the road to Damascus. The methods which Paul used were “forgetting those things which were behind, forget- ting past successes, reaching forth and pressing on.” Paul’s life story and that of more recent devout Christians were tellingly used in emphasizing these severa] points. “Think of the possibilities of a , certain rules,” said the visiting minster in touching upon the second way to obtain freedom, “You can’t go out and make your own rules, and if you want freedom you must abide by the ones that have been made, Power and usefulness are possible only through lawful con- trol.” “If you want to be tree to live, you must discipline your life,” he continued, and instances of a typ- ist, concert player, pianist and others were cited as examples, In this respect habits came in for consideration, and he declared that “good habits mean liberty; bad habits mean bondage.” The final thought of freedom was linked up with the first one of making a great commitment, “Peo- ple are free who have a guide, and he suggested Jesus Christ as that guide, and His cause as one to which undivided commitment could be made, An individual is free who has a pilot to get him safe in the harbor. Christ was upheld as that Pilot. “If a Christian is not free it is not the fault of Christ, for He said ‘If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed’.” Henry Pittman was chief mar- shal at the 1940 commencement, and he was assisted by Mary Adams, Sallie Farmer, Mary Ann McCormick, William Brock, Roland Hooten, George Norris and Arthur Roach, Senior Class Exercises The final assembly of the class of 1940 as a unit was on Monday morning, April 22nd, at which time they presented an unusual and highly entertaining program en- titled, “The Open Road” which was a gypsy harvest festival in one act. The graduates were attired in gypsy costumes, and it was a@ unique way in which the class history, the class will and testa- ment, the class poem, and the pro- phecy were presented. The roles of the various characters played by the seniors were as follows: Madre—Nancy Parcell. Captain—John Eliis. Queen—Sadie Mills. Princess Senior—Wilma Jessup. Marko—Clarence Robards. —~ Prince Nikoli—Henry Alessan- drini. Persa—William- Smith, Elena—Agnes Coppedge. Todora—Walter Mott. Rodora—Rufus Long. Yanko—John Irby McDonald. Serga—Gertie Smith. Mayra—Mary Penn Lindsay. Sybil—Nancy Stafford. Juna—Grace Coppedge. Stranger—-Howard Beshears. Mitra—Johnnie Burgin. Fortune Teller—Charles Starling. Chieftain—John Cole MeCrim- mon. Testator—Thelma Robards. Class Poet—Grace Cayton. life dedicated to Chirst,” said Mr. Calhoun ‘near the close of his | sermon. “Choose Christ because He gave His life for us, for Chris- tianity is not an argument, it’s a choice.” Rev. Sam Wiley’s Address. Declaring that youth wants free- dom and asserting that religion is in complete accord, Rev. Mr. Wiley went cn in the early part of his say “You may think it strange to hear someone from the pulpit say that he thinks that young people ought to be free. I mean exactly what I say, but,” and he emphasized that word, “I suggest to youth that they find out exactly what freedom is and wherein it lies, There are a lot of things masquerading as free- dom that are not true liberty. It jis one of the paradoxes of life that so many practices which lock like freedom really lead to slavery, like bondage of the sou] turns out to be the truest liberty.” “What is freedom and_ what /! makes people free?” were the questions which he asked of his ;audience and then suggested four ways; i.e., “people are made free commitment, people are free within the law, people are free through discipline, and people ‘are free who have a guide.” In enlarging upon the first sug- gestion, Mr. Wiley sald that peo- they give themselves to a great cause, for great release comes through com- mitment. Once you have given vourself to a cause you are not at the mercy of your passing whims. You find sources of power that you never possessed.” Grammar Grades’ Programs Instead of having one evening | devoted to a music recital and an- other to a program by the pri- }mary and grammar grades, this ;was altered in 1940, Part of an | exercise on April 12th was a |}music recital and part was an | operetta presented by the primary | department. On the following Fri- |day night, April 19th, others in |the music department gave a re- cital and the grammar grades of- fered an operetta for the entertain- ment of the large family and other friends here. These preliminary events to the 1940 commencemment are as fcl- lows: Friday, April 19, 1940, MUSIC RECITAL | The Fountain, Bohm—Myrtle | Mills. La donna e’ Mobile, Verdi—An- nie Sue Wilson.

Winston-Salem, Concord, Meck- lenburg, Orange and Granville Presbyteries all occupied their respective positions of first, second, fifth, sixth and seventh as existed when 938-1939 was over.

Of the 86, six made their initial contributions in 1939-1940. Most of the churches broke rec- ords that were reached in 1938- 1939, for 36 of the 86 churches surpassed the 1938-1939 highs.

Gen-| erally some item has to be elim- inated each month. The _ excess materia] is held over unti] a later issue, uo} ee — People are repeatedly urged to visit the campus at Barium Springs and we are glad to say that many organizations are tak- ing advantage of the cordial] in- vitations to sojourn on the cam- pus for a little while. Several del- egations each week are arriving at Barium Springs, and the in- terest and loyalty have inevitably increased when they visited this Home, recognized the magnitude of the undertaking and saw the happy, healthy faces of the chil- dren entrusted to the care of this phase of the Master’s work in North Carolina. Re Presbyterian friends in the North Carolina Synod are cor dially invited to attend the Or- phanage section of the Education- al Conference at Montreat on June 26th, 27th and 28th. The con- ference goes over still further, but those will be the main days | jority of which would average $5.00. This amount does not in-| elude several hundred dollars re- ceived from one individual who is establishing a permanent memor- ial at Barium Springs. In con-, trast with that impressive sum | was a total of $78.00 received in' memorial amounts in 1932-1933. This indicates how widespread and popular this practice is becom- ing. Adding in those memoria] a-| mounts received in April and May of 1940 it means that over $4,- 000.00 in memoria] donations has been recorded upon the books at our Home in the past eight years and two months. 2 a This issue of The Messenger is | full of considerable interesting | data. For instance, those Sunday Schools establishing new regular | peaks are to be congratulated; fel-' icitations are offered all of the Sunday Schools who participated in the regular support last year and established a new all-time peak for the Sunday Schools as a whole, and those Churches giving their best totals since 1925-1926 come in for a hearty~ measure of congratulations from Orphanage officials and from the entire Syn- od. We are preud of the record which has been made, individually and collectively, and we sessure in- dividual members in each organi- zation that we have been inspired | | by the liberality shown toward during the winter months; the re- pair crews are doing the usual summertime repair work, and the harvest season is at hand. That means a lot of work for the big farm boys, the truck farm group and the orchard gang. The latter | will not have as much work as usual, since 75% of the peach crop was killed by cold weather. At first it was thought that 98% of the peach crop had been elimin- ated, but a careful examination of the trees changed this first esti- mate. To offset this peach loss, a few extra acres of tomatoes are being planted and more applesauce will be canned. The apple crop was not hurt by the cold weather. mee it hipaa In April and May the Synod of North Carolina gave enough for us to operate the Home for 13 of the 61 days in that period of time, which makes it mighty hard on the treasury for the remaining 48 days. Rather, it would be more appropriate to say it makes it rath. er hard upon the creditors of the Home. The majority of these are very patient and long-suffering; otherwise, the financial predica- ment during the larger portion of the year would be particularly a- cute. About one-fourth of Ba- rium’s income will arrive in the first eight months; the other three-fourths will come in the months of December, January, Feb- ruary and March. Last year 50.2% go to camp. We can’t wait. } We have been going in swim- ming every morning. All of us} have a good sun tan. We welcome to our cottage three new boys, Max Dellinger, Paul Dellinger and Charles Vest. They seem to be getting along just fine. We also got Charles Stevens and Fred Feimster from the Baby Cottage. Mrs. Pat Johnston from Moores- ville brought us some balls and magazines and we sure have en- joyed them, —The Wigglers. June 5, 1940.

First Floor. Dear Friends, With summer just around the corner, the main gossip now is camp, vacation and swimming, and we always look forward to these. Some of us look forward to con- ferences and the ones that are go- ing this year are: Sallie Farmer, Marjorie Lail, Sarah Parcell, Myr- tle Mills, Lillie McDonald, and Geraldine Blue. They are attend- ing the Davidson Conference and we have two who are going to the Mitchell Conference: Lorene Brown and Louise Everett. We know these girls will have a good time because the ones who have gone in the past years have shown that. Now that camp is starting again, we all are just waiting for our turn to go, Our small girls and boys are going June 3rd and a few of us are going to cook for them and do the other neces- sary jobs that they can’t handle. Ruth Cole, Daisy Cayton, Mae Shoaf, Glenn Linsday and Mable Shoaf are the ones who, are going, Starting June Ist is vacation time and most all of us are plan- ning for one, So by the next time you hear from us, a few will be gone, Our swimming pool has been opened about three weeks and everyone has been enjoying it. If you could see it some evening, you might see a future champ. We have dog-paddlers to veterans of the sport. We have some new girls since you heard from us last or, at least, they are new to the first floor. Lorene Brown, Flora Mae Smith, Mary Johnson, Ruth Cole, Daisy Cayton, Lillie McDonald, Geraldine Blue, Evelyn Coppedge, Virginia Cranfill, Flora Mae New- man and Myrtle Mills.

Now that school is out and our studies aren’t getting us down, we have been going to ball games after supper and cheering our boys to victory (It’s never too late to win—How ’bout it boys?) Our cottage mother is taking her vacation in June. We hate to see her leave, but we know she will enjoy it. We'll end by saying goodbye to her, Miss Adams, and so long folks!

Their names are Lillian Cranfill, Adelia Knight, Dewey Belle Buie, Frances Bowles, Han- nah Price, Janie Hall, Jean Mc- Donald, Dudley Monroe, Toni De- lancy, Mary Belle Reid, Marion Coffey, Lee Vinson and Ida Belle Dunn.

Pearl Morgan and Anne Wicker have had their tonsils removed and are back, feeling as though they had lost nothing. Elizabeth Johnson, Dorothy Shepherd and Betty Lou Davis have had nice birthdays this month. We have started going in swim- ming. We sure do have a good time. Tuesday was our first day | in swimming. Bees are out and sure do wel- come us with their stings. One of | our girls, Mattie Pearl Denson, got stung on one foot and cut on | the other and Ernestine Baldwin got stung just as soon as one was getting well. Some of our girls are going to camp Monday and we know they will have a good time. We sure do thank Mr. Sams for | inviting us to see the show “Forty | Little Mohers”. It sure was good. | As you know, we are the bean stringers. We have been having lots of peas to shell. —Mattie Pearl Denson. 86 CHURCHES ADVANCE. (Continued From Page One.)

To do this will require extra generosity this year, for there were five tifth Sun- in 1939-1940, whereas there are only four in the current year. Thirty-six of the Sunday Schools give the donations on each fifth Sunday and the combined total from those 36 amounts to a few hundred dollars on each fifth Sun- day. Over 338,000 meals were served to the Barium boys and girls in 1939-1940, for three meals a day for 365 days for 318 children act- ually figures out to be 338,210 meals, Since the Sunday Schools served 200,307 of these, it means that gifts from that source were responsible for over 59.2% of the meals served the children at Ba- rium Springs. $100.00 CLUBS (Continued From Page Three) but it had to be content with the Schools ad- total by | third position in 1939-1940. : According to Presbyteries, the $100.00 Club members are distri- buted as follows: Fayetteville 16, 14, Mecklenburg 10, Orange 5, Granville 3, and twoj; each in Albemarle, Wilmington and | Winston-Salem Presbyteries.

If the veracity of that state- ment is doubted, the doubters are urged to take a trip of 8.2 miles from the office to see this camp. Particularly should this be pian- ned when a concourse of happy boys and girls are frolicking about the grounds, boating on the river, or bathing in it, using some of the many amusement devices over the place, or gathered around the open-air oven when the aroma of a meal all but makes you wither in hunger. This marks the third successive summer that at least 1,000 boys and girls have enjoyed, or will enjoy, the privileges of the camp. This number includes every boy and girl at Barium Springs, and groups from the Children’s Home in Winston-Salem, the Children’s Home in Lexington, Mills Home in Thomasville, and the Intermediate Conference of Concord Presby- tery. In addition to these boys and girls hundreds of other peo- ple in this section have used the outdoor facilities for supper and picnics. The policy of Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent here, is to give every child at Barium Springs one week at camp. Should a boy or girl fail to get a vacation, then they are given an extra week in August as the final and concluding fifth week thot Barium Springs uses it. Mills Home will have it for a couple of weeks this year, and one week for those in Chil- dren’s Home at Winston-Salem and Lexington. The Methodist Protestant Home at High Point used it last year, but they could not make the arrangements this summer. It is one of the most popular points anywhere in this section of North olina. Officials at Ba- rium exercise all care possible in eeing that only one party is us- ing the facilities at one time, The policy is to grant the first re- guest made and give that party written permi ion to use the amp. Many have to be refused, (Continued On Page Four) First Quarter Giving About Same As 739-40 Amount Received was $34.61 Less.—Other Interesting Facts Are Revealed <= The Synod of North Carolina gave a sum in the first quarter of 1940-1941 that was almost iden- tical with the total received in April, May and June of 1939. The aggregate welcomed here was $6,- 386.11 in the first three months of this year, and that’s only $34.61 shy of the $6,420.72 of the corre- sponding period a year ago, By the end of June, 1939, $101.00 had ar- rived as 1939 Thanksgiving Offer- ing and had the same reports been available last month, the giving of Synod would have been superior for the first quarter. Of course, that $6,386.11 would not take care of the expenses that have to be incurred in a single month of the year, which means that Synod has not given enough in three months to take care of the obligations of one month. How- ever, this is the usual pattern of giving, and the responses of Pres- byterian friends have followed the usual groove in the first three months. There should be a pick-up in receipts in July, for a good many places report on a quarterly basis, and the first quarter is now over.

GOOD NEWS Information has been re- ceived here that the Business Girls’ Circle of the Mallard Creek Presbyterian Church in Mecklenburg Presbytery has decided to give fifty cents a month to the work at Barium Springs. Not cnly has the in- formation been welcomed here, but a check for $1.50 for the first three months of 1940- 1941 has arri There were one or two oth- er good news i peared likely sue of The ssenger, but since a definite confirmation had not been reccived at the time of going press, they will not be listed.

No definite action | has ever been taken by the Alumni} Association of Barium Springs au- thorizing thi: «asembly in Au- gust, but it is a pretty definite conclusion now that arrangements will be made to have such a Home- Coming in August of 1941. Once} started, these will no doubt con- tinue on their own momentum. The summer of 1941 is a most logical time to have the greatest Home-Coming in the history of the Home celebrates the centennial year of its ment here. More recent graduates terested in the fall affairs, because there is always an_ interesting football game to watch, but a good many of tha so- called “old-timers” inished at Barium long, long | | fore otball was inaugurated at the Home.

The chil- dren ought to see the Home which harbored their mothers and _ fa- thers. A good many children have already been here, and when their fathers start telling of their es- capades to officials of Barium, the boys and girls look up at their fathers in wonderment and _ in- credulity. Of all events that might be planned for the semi-centennial year, none would be more timely and appropriate than that of the former boys and girls at Barium. Get in touch with your friends now and tell them to meet you here in August of 1941. The date hasn’t been set, but it will be near enough for the moment to mention around the middle of the month.

Attending from Rarium Springs were Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent, who was program chairman for the discussions; R. G. Calhoun, principal of the schools here, and Ernest Milton, Treasur- er.

These findings,! tinction which were prepared by Jos. Johnston and Miss Jane Russell, of | Grandfather’s Home, who was sec. | retary of the group, will be incor-) porated in the 27th annual report! of the Presbyterian Educational ; Association. They are as follows: “The Orphanage group began its meeting on the night of June 26) and had four group meetings prior | to the convening of the general | conference. One of these meetings was devoted to the accomplish-! ments and desires, ‘Bragging and Wishing’, One meeting was devo- | ted to a study of the contacts of children with relatives, the respon- sibility of the institution toward its graduates and to the treatment of backward children. The third meeting considered methods for »n ducing better behavior and econsid- ered rewards rather than punish-| ments. The fourth meeting was de- | voted to methods of financing. | _ At the first meeting the record | ‘mplishments or things to be hanl ‘ful for embraced a wide va- ty of matters and included ¢ ber of graduates now in the trv, the cordial co-operation the comple- tion of buildings and mat rial equipment, the removal of deb , the better financial standing. the ‘los alty and effective work of the staff, and the eager co-operation of the children in plans for improve- ments and better morals. “The report of the things desir- ed, while not covering as great a range as the accomplishment re- port, indicated a most wholesome desire on the part of the institu- tions represented to reach the most | needed group and to render the | most effective service regardless | of whaiever additional hardship or. expense there might imposed in so doing. Mention was made of a de- sire to reach out a helping hand either in material things or in ideas to render service to the children in the warring nations in Europe | and Asia. “In the meeting in which family relations were considered a ten- dency was noted of a more liberal attitude toward the families of children with less reliance on le- gal barriers and more reliance on personal contacts through social service departments or through members of the staff in creatinz | the feeling of understanding be- tween relatives and the orphanage | personnel.

There were 76 churches in the Synod which met the minimum amount of $1.20 per church mem- ber to operate the Home, This is six less than in 1938-1939.

News From Some Of The Cottages JENNIE GILMER Hello Friends, Pardon our invasion of this column, but we have a few things to tell you. It isn’t very often that we write cottage news. Summer has been in full swing for quite a while now and with summer in full swing, that means we also are quite active. Joe White and his newly formed campus group are really doing a fine job of beautifying the cam- pus, The rose bushes along the highway were cut, the grass on the campus is being mowed, cam- pus trees are being pruned and scores of other things that help the general appearance of the cam- pus are being done. Mr. Erwin’s boys are giving the the barns and other buildings here a new “suit’- of paint. At the rate they are going, we'll have a brand-new Barium Springs when schoo] starts. Barium’s one and only softball team, under the management of “Cap” Jackins, has been going to town lately. They’ve lost only two games and are leading the league that is in existence in this neigh- borhood. The swimming pool is usually full these hot days. It sure feels good after a hot day’s work. A good sized crowd of our boys went to camp last week; another bunch is there now. We feel sure they had and are having a grand time there. Our list of boys on vacation has grown so large that we won’t take the space (or effort) to call names, but we sincerely hope they are having a good time. We've been getting quite a few apples and some peaches lately. As you probably already know from last month’s Messenger, our peach crop was very badly dam- aged by cold weather. The farmers have finished fill- ing the dairy barns with alfalfa. Now, they are in the midst of threshing. Much to the sorrow of the entire crew, Dan, one of the first colts we had, died last week. A new time and _ labor-saving machine has just been installed in the printing office. It’s an auto- matic-feed Babcock press. This paper is the first issue printed by it. The boys sure do like it. (Can’t hardly blame them.) Well, as we’ve already taken our share of this column, we'll say “so long”. ALEXANDER S. O. S.! S. O. S.! This is Alex- ander’s Ragtime Band broadcast- ing over POH, Barium Springs. A lot of our boys are on their vacations. Some more are going to leave Saturday. We hope they are having a good time. We have a new matron for this week, She is Johnny Burgin, who is here while Mrs. Marshal] is at the camp. We are having a good time play- ing baseball] and softball. Swim- ming is also one of our pastimes. Our best outfielder is John Lee. At the present he is on his vaca- tion. Last week there were only six boys on the dairy to milk 42 cows. —William Allen ORCHARD This is the orchard once again, coming to you through the facili- ties of the B. P. P. (Barium Print- ing Press.) We've been working mighty hard these last few years try- ing to get the best fruit in North Carolina, Is may not be the best to everyone, but it sure is to us. This winter Mother Nature seem- ed to get jealous over all the fruit we’ve been raising, because she froze most all of our peaches. We will still have a few to eat, how- ever. There will not be any to can. To keep things on the cheery side, let’s talk about our apples. Apples galore! There’!] be no lack of them. These last few weeks we’ve been canning beets, beans, pickling cu- cumbers and making kraut. This kind of work keeps us busy. The orchard is a very interest- ing group. With the variety of fruits, our canning and the ways to tend fruits, we make this state- ment, Come one, come all, and let us show you the orchard and all - that goes with it. ae —o——_—- — BABY COTTAGE Hello Folks, The babies are back with you to report about our doings for this month. We all went down to the spring on a picnic last week. We waded in the branch and had a good time. We had visitors from Moores- ville, Mount Holly, Charlotte, Dur- ham and Orangeburg, S. C. We hope all of you enjoyed your vis- it and will come back again. The boys visited Charles Smith’s chickens and guinea pigs. He al- most has a faym and we enjoyed the visit very much. Thanks to the members of the D. V. B. S. for 18 lovely spreads for girls from Mooresville and to the Auxiliary Circle who sent us one dozen of lovely spreads for boys. Two of our boys were guests at the birthday dinner. They were Ev- erett and Richard Vest. Jane Feim- ster had a birthday this month. Thanks a whole lot, Mr. Sams, for inviting us to see “Call A Mes- senger’. We enjoyed it a great deal. July 5, 1940. —_— — __ HOWARD COTTAGE Hello Folks, We are glad to be writing you again. Since the last time we wrote you Helen Hawley and Mary Anne Ry- der have gone on vacations. We all hone they have a nice time. May Frances Isenhour, Mattie Pearl Denson, Grace Morgan and Sadie Grey Buie had visits from their people. We go in swimming every day. Miss Lulie Andrews showed us a show the other day. We all liked it very much. There are plenty of beans for us to string these days. We want to thank Mr. Sams for inviting us to see “Call A Messen- ger”. We enjoyed it very much, Mr. Sams. Betty Lou Davis, Ernestine Baldwin, Mildred Monroe and Mary Frances Isenhour are spending this week at camp. Good-bye until next time. —Dorothy Maples —lIla Lee McBride July 5, 1940. rm WOMAN’S BUILDING Hi Folks, Another month has rolled around and we are here again to give you a synopsis of the news that has happened around our cot- tage. : Vacations are in full swing. About 12 of our girls have gone on vacations, and seven more are planning to go this week. There have been two camps this month to which many of our girls have gone, It is hard to describe the good times we have at camp. Our camp gets more beautiful every year. On the Fourth of July we en- tertained our friends. Each girl invited one guest. We played Chin- ese checkers and hearts. The tables were decorated with holly hawk dolls, Grace Adams got the high- est score in hearts. Mr. Milton won the Chinese checkers. Mary Ann McCormick, who was dressed as Uncle Sam, was the official hostess. She was assisted by Glenn Lindsey and Mable Shoaf. For re- freshments we had Uncle Sam’s birthday cake on which there were 164 candles. Pink lemonade was also served. Last, but not least, we have a new matron, Miss Lorena Clark, whom we like very much, In the short time she has been with us she has done a great deal for us. —Mary Parks Allen —Evelyn Coppedge July 10, 1940. RUMPLE HALL Hello Everybody, This is Rumple Hall back on the air. First, we would like to thank Mr. Sams for the nice trip to the show to see “Call A Messenger”. We all enjoyed it a whole lot. Lula Belle and Janie Hall, Fran- ces Bowles and Toni DeLancey have gone on their vacations, We know they will have a grand time. Some of the girls’ mothers have been to see them since you last heard from us, Mgs. Buie came to see Peggy, Dixie and Dewey Belie Buie, and Mrs. Whitfield came to see Gloria and Gilda Whitfield. Our matron, Miss Reid, went on her vacation Monday and we hope she has a nice time. Miss' Brandon is our matron now and we enjoy having her. We are happy to have Miss Neil back with us again and hope she will stay. A group of our girls went to camp Monday and we hope they have a good time. Two of our girls went to Mitch- ell Conference. They were Pat Hooten and Mable Vinson, They came back telling what a good time they had. We are slowly but surely sign- ing off for this month, Look for us again next month. —Mable Vinson July 2, 1940. —————»2 ae ____— ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends Since we wrote you last Nellie Isenhour from Concord has come to live with us. She is at Camp Fellowship this week. Nellie Isenhour and Sadie Cau- then have just had visits from their folks. Hilda Barnes, Frances Strick- land and Ethel Brotherton have come from the Baby Cottage to live with us. Gertrude Bryant and Lorena Hall have gone on their vacations. We miss them very much, We have been having a lot of nice apples for the past week. Last week some friends from Mooresville brought us some games, picture puzzles, funny sheets and magazines. We certain- ly are enjoying them. We were invited to see “Call A Messenger” last week, The picture was good and the comedy “Tom Thumb” was just fine, Thanks a whole lot, Mr. Sams, We are learning to swim and we have lots of fun in the pool these hot days. Be looking for us next month. —The Annie Louise Girls July 2, 1940. ——D ae" SYNOD’S COTTAGE Dear Friends, Vacation time has started and We are ail excited.

The things nearby, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are—- These are the things that make or break, That give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true, 77 what we dream, but good we ates These are the things that shine Like stars, in fortune’s diadems. Not as we take, but as we give; Not as we pray, but as we live— These are the things that make for peace, Both now and after time shall cease. —Sel<cted ins slain So swiftly does time fly that it seems like our knuckles are no more than healed up from chang- ing one set of auto license tags un- til it’s time to put up new ones again. us ss ra ie Page Three Final Distribution o£ ’39-’40 Income Listed The final tabulation of regular income for 1939-1940 has been pre- pared.

Of the 535 churches, reports were re- ceived from 310 budgets; of the |543 Sunday Schools, regular gifts were welcomed from 294, and of the 408 Auxiliaries, regular sums arrived from 282, This was 14 more organizations than aided in 1988-1939. Ten more church budgets reported allot- ments to Barium Springs, and nine additional Sunday Schools had a part in the regular gifts. That was 19 more, but since five less Auxiliaries responded, the net gain was 14 organizations. A good many others that made no regular responses to Barium Springs gave at Thanksgiving- time. The following tabulations deal alone with regular receipts. Presbytery Ch. S.S. Aux.

As pointed out last month, a great many of these “leaders” could never make the $100.00 Sun- day School Club because of a lim- ited ‘ment, but the liberality of those affiliated with the Sunday Se ho s is so pronounced that these h places in the rank are pos- | 7!

As soon as the envelopes are delivered, the more than 800 packages necessary will be wrapped after the envel- opes have been counted for each church and each Auxiliary. The printing office has already printed the Thanksgiving tabula- tions for the Presbyteries - a thousand for each Presbytery. These tabulations show how much each church gave in the Thanks- giving seasons of 1938 and 1939, the | best Thanksgiving response of the past 15 years, and the year in which that best Thanksgiving do- nation was contributed. It took quite a few hours, too, to prepare the data before it could be turned over to the printer. During the latter part of Au- gust, too, the printing office will be busy preparing the booklets which are to be used by the Aux- iliaries in their programs this coming fall, The material planned for 1939 is the same booklet that was used a few years ago on the 14 departments at Barium Springs. This was written by Jos. B, John- ston, superintendent, and is cram-| med ful] of valuable and detailed material on each department here. The local Orphanage Secretaries will be asked to select the depart- ments which she thinks will be most appealing and assign the presentation of each one to selec- ted members of the Auxiliary. Not only will the printing office prepare a supply for next Thanks- giving, but copies of the booklet (Continued On Page Four) Was | Trustee of Thornwell Gives His Impressions | ' Cf the Orphanage Conference Held in Montreat the Lat- ter Part | of June In attendance at the session of the Orphanage section of the Ed- ucational Conference at Montreat the latter part of June were two trustees of Thornwell Orphanage, ef Clinton, S.

(Continued Om Page Four) First Thanksgiving The same Winston-Salem friend, who has been sending Thanksgiving Offering to Ba- rium Springs some months prior to the actua] season set aside for thanksgiving and praise, has again forwarded a $100.00 check to the Presby- terian Orphans’ Home for the impending 1940 season. That check for $100.00 came in July, and an ultra-cordia] reception was accorded this generous personal remembrance and ex- pression of thankfulness, In October of 1938 this Win- ston-Salem party sent $100.00; in June of 1939 his Thanksgiv- ing check of $100.00 for the 1939 season arrived, and now a duplicate gift for the 1940 season is already in hand, Since one-fourth of the monies an- nually contributed to Barium Springs reach the Home in the first eight months (leaving three-fourths in the last four | months) it is readily under- standable how useful is a check of such proportions. This is a most commendable habit on the part of this Win- ston-Salem friend (it is always credited as a part of the giv- ing of the Winston-Salem First Church as requested) and it would be praiseworthy and fine if some other generous | | contributors would duplicate | | this act and forward the || Thanksgiving Offerings some months before the latter part | | of November.

The only change necessary in the article is in the closing paragraph which can now read “but a single fatali- ty has occurred in a span of a dec- ade and four years” instead of a “decade and three years”. Last year’s article follows: “The month of July is some sort of an anniversary at Barium Springs, for the conclusion of this month means that another 12- month period will have gone by without a single death occurring in the Orphanage family here. This, therefore, means that but a single death has occurred in the Big Family at Barium since July, 1926, for which there is great thankfulness in the hearts of of- ficals and workers at Barium, as well as thankfulness in the hearts of the entire constituency in the Synod of North Carolina, “There have been no deaths here since June, 1933. In that month, one of the youngsters was stricken with septicemia poisoning, and while everything possible was done to save his life, he was taken from the family after a brief illness of (Continued On Page Four) Three good news items are available for the August issue of The Messenger and _ here they are: Beattie Memorial Sunday School, in Concord Presbytery. adopted the fifth Sunday plan at the outset of 1940-1941 and has already sent the June fifth Sunday Offering to Barium Springs, Sherrill’s Ford Sunday School, also in Concord Pres- bytery, has decided to include the fifth Sunday response along with the regular fourth Sunday donations that that Sunday Schoo] has been giving to this Home for a good many years.

By the time this copy of The Messenger is delivered to readers the teachers will be getting ready to return to their work at Barium Springs. The principal of the schools, R G. Calhoun, arrived Monday, Au- gust 12th, to attend to a number of matters preliminary to the opening. There will be two changes on the faculty for 1940-1941, though at the time this article is be- ing written a fina] selection of one of the replacements had not been made. W. A. Diehl, who taught science in the high school last year, resigned his post in the early days of August to ac- cept a position in Washington, D. C., and a new teacher for the science department had not been selected. One will be chosen, though, and be on hand on August 29th for the opening. Miss Dolores Hunsucker, cf Newton, will be the new domestic science teacher, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. LeRoy Sossamon, Miss Hunsucker is a 1940 graduate of Flora Mac- donald College, where she was ac- tive in athletics and in the par- ticular field in which she obtained her preparation, In addition to be- ing a member of the hockey, soc- cer, baseball and basketball teams, she was at one time secretary, vice-president and finally presi- dent of the Athletic Association there. She was captain of the bas- ketball team, a member of the student council, and was listed in “Who’s Who Among American University and College Students”. She was awarded the bachelor of science degree. The grammer schoo] faculty will include Miss Theoria Straughn, East Spencer; first grade; Miss Sadie Brandon, Yadkinville, second; Miss Elizabeth McKethan, Fayette- ville, third; Miss Margaret Bell, Decatur, Ga., fourth; Miss Gladys Burroughs, Ila, Ga., fifth; Miss Mary Faye Stevenson, Stony Point, sixth; and Harry Barkley, Barium Springs, seventh and grammar grade principal.

Such a gift is of remarkable assistance and aids us particularly in these months when income is at such a low level. A minimum amount of peaches is being canned at Barium Springs this summer, the cold weather in early spring having omething to do with this, but the canning house has been busy lay- ing aside other surplus food prod- ucts for winter consumption. Last reports revealed that 850 gal- s of string beans had already been put up, and during August ‘canning house is busy on to- Close to 1,500 gallons of atoes and tomato juice will be aside for the winter. After that will be applesauce, All told around 4,000 gallons are expected to be canned this summer and early fall. School days are close at hand, and it is believed that another ex- cellent year of scholastic endeavor ahead of the schools at Barium Springs.

Love given double for al] you give, There is a means no surer, Than helping someone else to live. The above poem came from a friend whose name we do not know, (though we have a pretty vood idea because of gifts from the city in which it was mailed), and it was accompanied by a $1.00 contribution and a notation “From someone who has reaped earthly wealth and happiness through do- nations to Barium Springs.” We pass that poem and that comment along to the general public, and through this paragraph we also want to express gratefulness to this donor. We hope many other lis of inestimable benefit to our friends of Barium Springs have had similar experiences of “wealth and happiness” through kindness and thoughtfulness and generous- ness toward “helping someone else to live’. The Charlotte First and Char- ‘otte Second churches follow a procedure each Thanksgiving that Home throughout the year. In- stead of limiting the giving of its members to the season of Thanks- ziving, pledges are obtained cov- ring a period of a year, For in- stance, a man who would normally give $5.00 at Thanksgiving-time will give $25.00 if he can make a pledge and pay it over a period of time, A proportionate scale will apply to larger givers. Maybe you have noticed a listing of some of} these 1989 Thanksgiving Offer- ngs in issues of The Messenger since the books were closed on the last fiscal period, From the Char-} lotte Second Church has arrived $203.00 and “rem Charlotte First ‘ im of $125.00 has been re- ceived since April Ist - this being a total o $428.00 which was, pledged last Thanksgiving.

A familiarity with the operation of all departments will give any in- dividual a comprehensive idea of what transpires at Barium Springs all of the time. The 1940 Minutes of the General Assembly have been obtained and a list of the ministers and the church or churches they serve has been prepared already in triplicate iorm, one for the chairman of Synod’s committee, a copy for each Presbytery chairman, and one to be used ac Barium Springs. Quite a number of changes will be made on the roster of ministers before Thanksgiving-time, and these changes will be noted in the office here when they occur. Also on hand at Barium Springs are around 13,000 mite boxes which were printed two years ago and which will be used in the Sun- day Schools this coming Thanks- giving until the supply has been exhausted. Information wil] be ob- tained frem superintendents or treasurers as to how many can be acceptably used in each Sun- day School, While no date has yet been set | for a meeting of Synod’s commit- tee, this will probably be an- | nounced soon and the committee , will assemble to lay its foundaticn plans for seeing that every one of the 90,905 Presbyterians of North Carolina are given an op- portunity to make a 1940 Thanks- giving Offering. That has been | the aim of the committee during the past several Thanksgiving sea- sons, and Synod’s committee has | been very successful in its efforts to realize that goal. ONE DEATH IN BARIUM : (Continued From Page One.) three days. “Many factors enter into the re- markable health record at Barium, but even all human efforts are useless without the kind Provi- dence of a Heavenly Father. Of- tentimes deaths occur through no one’s negligence and when every precaution haS been taken. You read in the paper daily of una- voidable accidents, and, as Mr.| Johnston remarked once, ‘That | might have happened here.’ The intercessory prayers of many thousands of people are considered vitally important in the health of | the Barium Springs family and | in the unusual] lack of fatalities from the serious illnesses to which these Barium boys and girls are sometimes subjected. “The usual meticulous health care was exercised in the past 12 months, Innoculations and vac- cinations and other precautionary measures were taken. The usual number of annual operations oc- curred, there were some broken limbs in the course of a year’s duration. The rigid health exami- nation for every child was conduc- ted in January and the tuberculin test given to all newcomers, As usual, X-ray pictures were made of the lungs of those children who were strong reactors following the test. “The March issue of The Mes- senger gave readers a detailed ac- count of the annual health clinic, and satisfactory results of this examination of every child at Ba- rium Springs. The necessary things to be done as a result of that examination have already twanspired, such as the extraction of a number of sets of tonsils and adenoids. “Last year’s enrollment aver- aged 316.7 children for the entire 12 months, but if a check-up were made on the enrollment of the past 13 years it would be found that the average was well over 825 children - a community of that number in which but a single fatal- ity has occurred in a span of a decade and three years.” —— Beggar: “A nickle for a cup of coffee, sir.” Stranger: “In these hard times we should al! put a bridle on our appetites.” Beggar: “I'd rather put a bit in| my mouth.” THE BARIUM MESSENGER emai ene oes Two Or More?

HARD SCHEDULE FOR (Continued From Page One) game she lost all year. By the end of the season she was the undefeated champion of the West- ern Conference and was ready to dare any other champion of any other conference to meet them. She is taking off this year right where she left off last year, One week later, September 27th at Charlotte, the big event be- tween Charlotte Central High and Barium takes place. As_ usual, Charlotte will be the overwelm- ing favorite, with weight, num- bers, and home ground to favor them, But Barium is counting on winning this game, just as she is counting on winning over Mor- ganton, in spite of Morganton’s trying to keep her from winning. On October 4th, Barium begins her Orphanage troubles, meeting Mills Home here. Mills Home is a big, powerful team, and since the last time that Barium met her has been the state Class B cham- pion. They have never beaten Ba- rium at Barium, but they will be trying mighty hard to beat that record. It is expected that all the Baptists in Iredell County will hang around, to give these visitors encouragement. : On the night of October 11th, at Winston-Salem, Barium will meet the Children’s Home in the big stadium. This time it will be the Bill Murray-less Children’s Home, It is the first time in many years since this coach took over the affairs at the Methodist in- stitution, Barium had a tough | night in Winston last year. They will be out for revenge this fall. On October 18th at Bariun, | Concord will be the dish. Every | ‘ime Concord comes to Barium a lot of interesting things happen. | That was the team that started | affairs at Sloan Field; it was al- so the first team to score against Barium on Sloan Field; and Con- cord was the first team to win on Sloan Field. October 25th, at night, Barium will have one of its toughest as- signments. Last year, in spite of the great difference in the strength of Barium and Lexing- con, Lexington won by a scant touchdown. They may not be over their fright from this, when at Lexington. November 1st is Home-Coming Day. Albemarle will be the op- ponent at Barium. Albemarle has never beaten Barium, but has nev- er failed to put up a grand game, and one of these days they are going to start defeating us. Ba- rium has never lost a Home-Com- ing game, and Albemarle will be out to break two precedents this year, November 8th, at Barium, Kan- napolis - The Big Green - will be here. Kannapolis tears loose and beats Barium about as often as any team in the whole schedule. They beat Barium in ’38, they lost by one touchdown in ’39, and that brings us right up to 1940. At 3:15 p.m. at Barium on No- vember 15th, Gastonia will come again to furnish the fireworks. Any anybody who remembers last year’s 13 to 22 encounter won't miss this game. The season ends on November 22nd at Salisbury. Everybody knows that will be a good game. The schedules for the 100- and 105-pound teams have not been completed at this writing, but there will a full schedule for both of these teams. Tell Hitler and the rest of the gang to hurry up and get their war out of the way. Footbal] is in the air; happy days are here again!

The giv- ing of Synod last month is respon- sible for this, for the revelation that Synod was on the positive side in July can no longer be said. August’s income from Synod was $446.47 less than in August of 1939, and that quickly eliminated the announced gain of $287.81 on July 31st. In a nutshell, Synod was “running” $158.91 behind its total on August 31st, as compared with that which had been tabulated at Barium Springs on August 31, 1939, An analysis of this, however, offsets any pessimism that might be existing because of the large decrease in August. It will be remembered that there was a fifth Sunday in July of 1939, and that around 30 Sunday Schools took fifth Sunday responses in July and remitted them to Barium Springs in August a year ago. No such fifth Sunday occurred in July of the current fiscal period and the absence of those offerings really telis the story of the difference. So far there has been only one fifth Sunday, as compared with two in the first five months of last year. If there had been two to date in 1949-1941, Synod would have been ahead, Kings Mountain Presbytery was the “big shot” in August, for the largest per capita giving of any Presbytery came from Kings Mountain last month and the total received sent Kings Mountain hurt- ling from fifth place on July 3ist to second place on August 31st. This notable gain by Kings Moun- tain lowered the standings of Meck- lenburg, Concord and Albemarle Presbyteries - one notch each - and except for that change there was no alteration in the lineup in the Presbyteries’ giving. For the first time this year the new church memberships, as re- vealed in the 1940 Minutes of the Genera) Assembly, were used in preparing the per capita averages for the nine Presbyteries, which “stood” as follows on August 3ist: Presbytery August Am’t Total Per Receipts Ree’d.

However, the regular total received from Sunday Schools so far is $655.91 less than through August of 1939, with a net result that there has been a decline of $157.91 in regular giving. Despite this decrease by the Sunday Schools those organiza- tions can still lay claim to the lar- ver portion of giving to Barium Springs. The Sunday Schools have been responsible for 47.3% of the receipts ($5,909.23); Church bud- gets have appropriated 35.6% ($4,452.47) and from Auxiliaries has arrived 17.1% ($2,138.61). That’s a grand regular total of $12,500.36. (It will be remembered that a $100.00 Thanksgiving Of- fering came in July to give total receipts of $12,600.36.) Here’s the way the regular do- nations are allotted to each or- ganization in each Presbytery: Presbytery Ch. 8.8. Aux.

In her earnest appeals for the new Boys’ Building, Mrs. A. Jones York used the following: I thought you would like to have a copy: Little orphan Johnnie has come to our church to stay, Till he gets our interest up to throw Alexander cottage away, To tear the roof right off the porch Knock down the walls - make a clean sweep And build a brand new cottage for boys, A rea) home - that’ll be theirs for keeps, And next winter - when their new building’s done, They will sit around the fireside and have the mostest fun, A ‘listenin’ to the matron tell how they used to fret and pout Now the gobblins are gonna git us If we don’t help those boys out. There are forty boys in that cot- tage They always try to laugh and grin, Rut they have so very little Some even have no kith nor kin, They need this building badly Let us stand by their side. Come on and do your part, Forego one picture show, one ride, And when the year’s drive is ended And we have eached our goal We can be happy in this thought “His sheep are safely in His fold.” il, Sc Ys With every good wish, Faithfully yours, (Mrs. C. E.) Margaret 5. Raynal, Synodical Orphanage Work Secretary. ORPHANAGE COMMITTEE (Continued From Page One) has provided funds for one unit, and the other two guaranteed have been assumed by unnamed givers. The erection of the fourth build- ing offers a fine opportunity for a memorial hall for a good cause. The Board of Regents will meet tomorrow here in their semi-annual meeting, and some disposition of this project may be made by which the units arranged for can be constructed. It is hoped that the entire quadrangle will be built in time for the meeting of Synod at Barium Springs next year, Sep- tember 9-11, when the entire body will be entertained at the Home and all the meetings held in the church and auditorium, This meet- ing will celebrate the 50th anni- versary of the founding of the home in 1891 by the Synod North Carolina. Rev, J. R. McGregor, Th. D., of Burlington, is president of the board of regents, which consists of 20 members chosen from church- es all over the Synod. Mrs. S. P. Stowe of Belmont is vice president, and Mrs. John Harper of Wilming- ton is secretary. Mrs. J. M. Wal- ker of Steele Creek church and Dr. W. Z. Bradford of Charlotte, are members of the board. Joseph B. Johnston, the superin- tendent of the Home, today assur- ed this laymen’s committee of ‘heir vital help to the Home and the Board of Regents.

They are making their home in Char- lotte where Mr. White has accep- ted a position.” The above interesting bit of news came addressed to The Ba- rium Messenger a short time ago, and for fear that some of the al- umni might not recognize the al- umnus involved, it is the fellow who was known here as Joe Mike White. Mr. and Mrs. White were here this summer, but she was known to the Barium people as Miss Formyduval. Joe Mike work- ed here for more than two months until] he began work with the Firestone people in Charlotte. Culp-Bender \ On April 20th, Miss Nellie Culp became the bride of Burriss M.

It also informed him that the Gen- eral Assembly of 1934 deprecated pamphleteering or newspaper arti- cles attacking ministers’ character | os orthodoxy.

Mr, Marion held a colloquy with Rev, Howard Kester, on Work Among Tenants, and Mr, Piephoff told of the use of mov- ing pictures in Martin County in religious work. Several short addresses were September 1940 |Splendid Address At First School Exercises Dr. Moore, of Moo-e vile, Talks.— W. A. Hethcox is is eacher Congratulating the students at Parium Springs that they live in America, that they have the Pres- byterian Church as a “mother” and that they are mere boys and girls with all of life ahead of them, Rev. John W. Moore, D. D., pastor of the First Methodist Church of Mooresville, on August 29th made the principal address at the formal opening exercises of the 1940-1941 scholastic session. The speaker did not content himself, however, with a congratu- latory message. On the one hand he admonished the pupils not to \“lie down and say that you don’t have a chance”; on the other hand, he urged them to develop their souls, minds and bodies, which are three things each individual pos- sesses, In addition to the address by Dr, Moore, the other parts of the program included a devotional con- ducted by Rev. T. C. Cook, pastor of Little Joe’s Church; a solo by Elizabeth McKethan, one of the teachers, and a song by the as- sembled people. The speaker was introduced by Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent, Dr. Moore pointed out that mil- lions of children in Europe are in imminent peril today and “they don’t know when they go to sleep at night whether they will be alive by morning”. In contrast, he said, there should be great thankful- ness on the part of American children that they live in this country. In speaking of thankful- ness for the Presbyterian Church as a guiding influence in their lives, the Mooresville minister stated that no nation has provided orphans’ homes except when the church has gone in and led the way. “A mere boy,” he continued, “is a man in the making. It is wonder- ful when everything in life is be- fore you, for you can make your life what you want to. There isn’t a one of you here who can’t make good, Don’t lay yourse'f down in the highway and let traffic roll over you. If you lay down with the snakes and lizzards, what can anybody do? Don’t be like the boy who said, ‘I don’t know nothing and I don’t want to know nothing.’ Rise up on all the power that you possess and say ‘I want to be somebody’ and by the grace of God vou will be.” He urged the students to learn one truth every day and cited a striking example of a _ colored preacher who used that as a guide and became pastor of a great church. He went on to say that “jit doesn’t make any difference how difficult it is to learn, you can develop the three things you have; namely, soul, mind and body. How can we develop them? Nobo- dy can do it for you, but you ought to thank God for the opportunities that are yours through the teach- ers vou have, the books, the church, your pastor and others in- terested in your development. “Take good care of your physi- cal bodies, but it isn’t enough to have a strong body. You must al- so have a good mind and be the best, the finest and most useful citizen. Then. look to the Heaven- | ly Father and He will lift you up and strengthen vou.” The August issue of The Mes- senger revealed that a new science teacher, to replace W. A. Diehl, of Winston-Salem, resigned, would be named before school opened on the 29th. W. A. Hethcox was the choice. He is a 1929 graduate of Erskine College, and has been af- filiated with schools in Tredel County since his rraduation from that South Carolina institution. His native home is Mooresville, and he has therefore been a neighbor of Barium Springs for some years. given on “Reaching the Unreach- ed”, Rev. W. M. Currie spoke of work among industrial — sections. Rev. W. A. Brown told of using buses to bring Sunday School children to church, Rev. L. A. Watts described work in prisons and prison camps, Rev. J. R. Mc- Gregor spoke on vacation church schools, and Rev. R, T. Baker ex- plained the use of the Lord’s Acre LA are “When I started in life, young man, I worked twelve hours a day.” “Yes, but in these rapid times any one who took twelve hours to do a day’s work would get the rate.” t Annual Conference Will Page o Meet October First Be at Mills Home Hon.

We don’t have any more to say but hope to see you next time. —Sadie Grey Buie. —Evelyn Coats. ANNIE LOUISE, Football season is on full swing now and we expect our boys to come out on top in every game they play this year. In the game with Morganton we won, but we tied with Charlotte, The first game on the campus is going to be Fri- day afternoon with Mills Home. Since we wrote you last we have seen “Five Little Peppers” and “Five Little Peppers in Trouble”. They both were such cute pictures. Some of our good friends in Mooresville brought us some funny sheets, candy and jelly. We ap- preciate the gifts very much in- deed, We were invited/to the fair this week; the high school went Tues- day night and we are going tomor- row afternoon, Barbara Hull and Sarah Brad- | music lessons at | Miss Green, the music teacher, had Se SSS eee eS LADIES OF SYNODICAL (Continued From Page One) time. Many people have worked hard and diligently toward this happy realization today and thou- sands upon thousands of ladies have had some part in this total, since the aim was to give every Presbyterian Auxiliary member an opportunity to help on the build- ing. The ladies have sent the above money to Barium Springs and cash or pledges have been given for two of the other three build- ings, leaving only one that has not been provided for as yet. The Synodica] launched the movement with a $10,000.00 pledge and they methodically and effectively went about and did exactly what they said they would do - all within a year’s time. This extra “push” has not affected the regular support fund from the Auxiliaries accord- ing to the records on the giving of Auxiliaries through the half- Way point of 1940-1941, It was emphasized that all of this $10,- 000.00 was to be over and above the regular donations, and in all but one known instance, this has been true, MORE THANKSGIVING (Continued From Page One.) would be particularly timely and opportune following the first six months of an annual meagre income, shaw have come to live with us. Sarah, who is six, is now the baby of Annie Louise Cottage. Mary and Helen Morgan and Nellie Isenhour went to the birth- day table in September. They said they enjoyed their dinner. We also have two girls to go this month: Rebecca Williams and Gwendolyn Landrum, A few of the girls have already received theiy clothing boxes, and they were so happy over them. Betty Lou Hooten and Betty Cof- fey are the only girls who take Annie Louise. the first meeting of the Music Club Monday afternoon. Running out of news. So long. —Annie Louise Girls. ALEXANDER COTTAGE The Alexander boys with their girl friends enjpyed a most delight- j ful chicken supper at Camp Fel- lowship, We boys furnished the chickens and we had all the fixings with ice cream and cake, Mr, and Mrs. Spencer, Mr and Mrs. Jackins. Mrs. Marshal] and Miss Long wer: our chaperons, John Lee, Robert Pearson and William Allen have had visits from their relatives, A new boy has come to live with us. Hia name is Howard Hull and he is from Charlotte. Jimmy Hayes and Donald Pet- | tus, who have been living at Synod Cottage, have also come to live at our cottage and we are glad to} have these boys. Most of our boys play football and have had nice trips to Mor- | ganton, Children’s Home and Con- ! cord and we enjoyed the enter- tainment at these places as well as the games. We have had a good time this summer and enjoyed our summer clothes but now it’s time to be thinking about our winter clothes, SYNOD’S COTTAGE It is time to be with you again. We have been having many football games since we wrote you last. We went to see Davidson and Rollins play. We have had a game with Mills Home and beat them, 7 to 0. We played Children’s Home yesterday and beat them 26 to 21. We have a little new boy from Lenoir. His name is Billy Price. He is in the second grade. Most of our boys who have been in bed with whooping cough are Well now and back with us, Our fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys were in a patriotic program Thursday morning. It was one of the best that we have had in a long time. —The Wigglers. Miscellaneous Gifts Galatia Aux., 24 dresser searfs, 2 pair anklets.

Schoo] Prineipal 'THANGSGIVING OF 1940 “Dear God, we are so thankful that we ain’t having no war over here.” That was a prayer which a little tot was heard to utter recently when sentence prayers were offered in Sunday School at Barium Springs. There hasn't been a supplication offered to our Heavenly Father with more earnestness and sincer- ity than this tiny child who, in his ungrammatical way, was offering a prayer of thanksgiving that America was not at war. That prayer, when we first heard of it, seared itself into eur minds and hearts and we could not help but believe that hundreds of thousands of Americans are also giving voice to their personal thankfulness that we are not engaged in the conflicts which already have snuffed out so many of the young manhood of the European countries and the Far Eastern areas. Our further thinking about that earnest prayer of this little one has also led to the belief that the thankfulness so rampant in the hearts of people today is going to receive con- orete and definite expression in the approaching Thanksgiving season when offerings are made for Orphans’ Home - not mere- iy ia the state of North Carolina but throughout America. We ace convinced, too, that if the people give absolute expression to their intense thankfulness that the Thanksgiving Offerings fer ewery Orphan’s Home will be unparalleled in history. ie our Home at Barium Springs today are children here ae the indirect result of World War No. 1, and there have also beew others to pass through the portals of this Home because o@& the human devastation in 1917 and 1918. As we think of dais and as we reflect upon our thankfulness that the United States is not at war today, there should also be earnest prayers that this will continue, that world peace may be realized and that God, in His Infinite wisdom and in His own unsurpassable way, may put it inte the hearts of men to live peaceably upon this earth. How thankful are you that you live in America and that you live in North Carolina? Will it be mere lip thankfulness or will this gratefulness be displayed in unmistakable manner by generous gifts in the Thanksgiving season to help children whose very existence in the Home at Barium Springs is depen dent upon liberal remembrances during the latter part of this WOMAN’S BUILDING. First Floor. This has been a busy month. We had Home-Coming with lots of old boys and girls coming bock to watch us beat Albemarle in a down-pour of rain. We always like to see all of the alumni come back. In fact, we like to see any- one come and we have had lots of visitors this month, We hope we have even more next month. Football is nearly over and we can truly say we have had a good season. To show the boys we are proud of them, the Home Ee. De- partment is going to fatten them up with a supper which we are going to cook all by ourselves. (If they can eat it!) Speaking of Home Ec. Depart- ment we fashioned the dresses We made and were they lovely! The following girls took part in the fashion revue: Ruth Cole (first prize), Geraldine Blue (second), Glenn Linsday (third); and the others, Lillie McDonald, Louise Martin, Emma Eudy, Margaret Jarvis, Sara Parcell, Mary Ann McCormick, and yours truly, Flo- ra Newnam., Everyone has enjoyed having Mr. Cook’s father preach for us while he is visiting here. Basketball pratice has started month ? The Presbyterians of North Carolina have manifested a great and marked interest in the welfare of the children at Ba- rium Springs. They have been doing this for almost half a century during the years that the Home has been maintained here. Thanksgiving seasons have arrived and while some- times the response has been exceptionally low in comparison with other years, the total received has been limited only by the resources of the 4onors and not because of a lack of will- ineness to help. ‘a There’s much for which to be thankful in the current Thanksgiving season. That’s applicable to the friends of Ba- rium Springs out yonder and it is applicable to the family here. There’s an overwhelming sense of gratefulness in the hearts of children and officials at Barium Springs for what has been done in bygone years, and there pervades a feeling here that this thankfulness shall continue without abatement in the im- pending season of 1940. Go down on vour knees in a prayer of thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father. Go down into your pocketbooks to express this thant-fulness in a manner befitting the feelings in your hearts It’s a glorious season immediately ahead - a glorious op- portunity for Presbyterian friends to continue the wonderful- ness of their Thanksgiving responses to Barium Springs and the possibility of a glorious feeling of rejoicing that would inevitably result here from liberal donations and a Thanksgiv- ine Offering that ranks high in the annals of all such seasons when invaluable assistance has heen rendered this Home. Tust remember that one-half of the contributed income at Barium Springs comes during the Thanksgiving season and that if YOU and YOU and YOU give nositive vent to vour feel- ines of thankfulness that this one-half, and more. will be sent to this Home in the Thanksgiving season of 1940 and we hope to have a good team this year, although we lost sever- al of our best players last year. All the black hands around here are the result of pecan stain, No one can wait for the hulls to pop off. They pull them off. That is the news and now for the gossip: “Suther’s” butter or maybe it is the one who brings it. We would- n’t know which, Daisy Cayton is seen daily read- ing “Random Shots from Fort Jackson”. We wonder why. Mary Ann McCormick has been seen gazing at “Moon” Sigmon. Oh! I mean the clouds. What girl gets more mail from Fort Jackson than anyone else? Could it be your reporter, Flera Newnam? Could be! Mary Johnson has been seen reading letters grom Hawaii, Nice boys, those sailors, How are you getting along, “Cut’’? Captains don’t interest Ruth Cole any more. We wonder who does. As soon as we get this in- formation we will pass it on to you, We withhold nothing from the press. The eyes of the press saw Lillie McDonald walking down the side- walk Sunday night with none oth- er than Paul McKenzie and we thought he was bashful. Mary Adams used to be a man- hater. A certain blonde has chan- ged that. Sara Parcell goes to al] the Davidson football games. She nev- er did like football, but she likes a certain freshman there. Glamour Boy Ernest Stricklin has changed his heart beat three times recently from Lillian San- ders to Dorothy Gibbs to Evelyn Coppedge. Your reporter bids next. : Myrtle Mills is rapidly becom- ing a second Sonja Heine. She practices skating every Saturday with Billy McCall. The secret affair of Margie and Wallace is now common gossip. Virginia Cranfill can be seen waiting at the station - not for Mr. Thomas but for a letter from Erskine College. May Shoaf said she didn’t care who was president of the United States as long as her Henry Pitt- man was president of the senior class, One of our cheerleaders, ‘“Fat- Girl” Farmer, is seen at every Davidson football game - is she interested in the game or a cer- tain blonde? The bathtub soprano, Jerry Blue, is slowly but surely becom- ing a great sinver. (If she can stand it, we can!) Everyone is interested in the Co-Captain of the basketball team, but Flora Smith has a head start.

The fall date, which is al- \the alumni over the THE BARIUM MESSENGER Another Rainy Day Marked Home-Coming If the farmers of Iredell] county need rain, all they have to do is to induce officials at Barium Springs to schedule a home-coming celebration and rain will invari- ably pour down, At least, that’s the consensus of opinion of alum- ni of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home who have returned to their home at Barium Springs in down- pours for the past three years. November 1st was home-coming day here and rain descended as usual, made inroads into the at- tendance and marred, to some eX- tend, the delightfulness of this an- | nual affair. Despite the disagreeableness of the weather there are always some alumni whom you can’t keep away from Barium Springs and these were joined by others yes- terday to make up a fairly good attendance under the circum- stances. Those alumni who regis- tered represented 19 different classes, and if all had put their names on the dotted line, the classes with representatives here would have been even larger. At a formal session of those here for the noon-day luncheon it was decided to have two home- comings in 1941, which marks the half-century of usefulness of this home since its establishment at Barium Springs. The date of August 28 was definitely set for this mid-summer conclave and the thought behind the summer home- coming was that many graduates and one-time residents could plan vacations to coincide with the ways featured by a football game, will be set later, Enthusiasm was manifested by offer of Camp Fellowship for a week, be- ginning next August 25, for those who wanted to spend a week’s vacation in these environs. The offer was made by Jos. B. John- ston, superintendent of the home, who appeared before the body to welcome them and discuss infor- mal affairs with them. The secre- Memorial Rooms Another $100.00 check has been received at Barium Springs as a memorial gift to furnish a bedroom in the new cottages which are to be constructed here; notice has been received that a $200.00 gift will be made to furnish a living room as a memorial, and information has arrived that still another $100.00 sum has been forwarded as a memorial to Synodical’s Trea- surer to furnish another bed- room. In the first instance , a friend has given that sum in honor of her husband who died in 1934, and in the case of the $200.00 gift, a mother is giving this in honor of her son, Detailed information is not available on the other memorial gift mentioned in this article today, though that will be received when the money is forwarded to the treasurer of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. This now makes a total of eight bedrooms and one liv- ing recom which will be pro- vided. Three $100.00 sums are in the hands of Ernest Milton, the $200.00 sum will be sent to him, and the other $500.00 is in the hands of Mrs. Coit Robinson, Synodical’s Treasurer. It will be recall- ed that the October Messen- ger told of a $400.00 legacy which would be used to furn- ish four bedrooms. This is included in the $500 amount. Most of these gifts have been inspired by what has been read of such donations in The Barium Messenger. It is felt here that all of the bedrooms and living rooms of the four cottages will be pro- vided for in this manner as other friends will want to make tributes of love in hon- or of those whose earthly ca- reers have been ended. tary of the association will have the responsibility of contacting | the alumni and explaining the | proposed plan. The luncheon on home-coming, at which more than 75 were pres- sent, was made up of home-raised products at Barium and was typi- cal of things which the alumni had eaten as residents, It consisted of sausage and grits, candied sweet. potatoes, string beans, tomatoes, home-grown celery, milk, an ap- ple for each one and accessories. Charley C. Carriker of Win- ston-Salem, presided at the meet- ing immediately after lunch, which was limited in discus- sion because of the desire of re- turning alumni to visit the var- ious cottages which were decora- ted for the visitors. The prize went to Howard Cottage for the most unique decorations. Winners of the bird house contest among the boys were announced at lunch by Miss Anne Fayssoux John- Honor Roll | ston and prizes awarded. More than a dozen birdhouses were on exhibition in the lobby of Rumple Hall. Officers of the association were selected for the two years in 1940, so Mr. Carriker will continue for another year along with - fayette Donaldson, vice-president, of Statesville, and Miss Lucille Burney, of Barium Springs, as secretary. D. E. Hipp, of Charlotte, again had the distinction of being the oldest old-timer at Barium, being a resident of the home when is was established in 1891. Bruce Parcell, now in Uucle Sam’s air errp. registered from Hamilton Field, in California, and there was a carload of alumni returning from the national capitol. The ma- jority of the others were from North Carolina. Incidentally, the home-comers saw Barium’s gridsters conquer Albemarle. 19 to 0, which seemed to offset the uncomfortableness of the weather and fittingly climaxed another rainy home-coming here.

A couple of unusually interest- ing and illuminating letters have recently been received from Gro- ver Miles, who is now known as Death Occurs to Two Former Workers Here | Friends at Barium Springs | were saddened in October to hear ot the deaths of two former em- ployees of the Home here, and similar sadness will envelop the hearts of many alumni when they learn of the deaths of Miss Fan- nie Foust in Graham on October 15th and Miss Mary Lea in Greensboro on October 21st. Miss Foust was a fourth grade teacher at Barium Springs for almost two decades and after her retirement as a teacher she was in charge of the library for a couple of years. When she left the Home she went to live in Gra- ham. She had been in ill health for the past year. Miss Lea was \ | } ' | here for over a decade, acting as clothing secretary, as distributor of supplies for the various cot- tages and as a receptionist when visitors came to see the Home. No one had heard of her illness and the information of her death came through friends who visited the Home from Greensboro the latter part of October. It is rather interesting that seven graduates of Barium Springs, who now live in the | neighborhood of Graham and near- by cities, were pallbearers at Miss Foust’s funeral. All of these boys had been taught by Miss Foust. The pallbearers were James EI- liott, John Elliott, Robert Blue, Tom Clark, Joe Keenan, Troy Henry and Reid Brown.

Now, we look forward to the ac- tual building. And of course you are, this month, thinking in terms of Thanksgiving for Barium Springs. Every Auxiliary has been sent program material. Questions that might be asked are all answered in a very comprehensive way_in the bookket—“Discussion of De- partments at Presbyterian Orph- anage, Barium Springs,” by Mr. Jos. B. Johnston. This makes the basis for a most interesting pro- gram for November Auxiliary or Cirele meetings. May I suggest that each person who has_ this booklet shall keep it for future reference, The material is per- manently vaulable. , Envelopes for Thanksgiving have been sent, also, to every Auxiliary.

SEASON Immediately below is a record of the various teams. This year instead of hav- ime clean cut divisions between the va- rious Midget teams. we had to arrange quite often to suit our opponents. Some- times they wanted to play reserves with- out regard to weight. This meant that any player who did not participate in that week's Varsity game was eligib'e. The resu’t of these games, while listed ta the 125-pound column, have R_ before them. Then there were a number of teams that wanted to play use with their so called “C” team. C teams micht have the weight regulation, or it might not, bot they had this requirement, that no boy must perticinate who had had any Varsity experience. The resut of these games is _ listed sepurately. The players who participated were the ‘east experienced of our 125- pound squad. As most of you Old-timers know, mem- bers of our 125.pound team are substi- tates on the Varsity. Members of the 16@.pound team are substitutes on the 125. Members of the 85-pound team are substitutes on the 100. In this way a few of the better players get experience in the next higher clossification and are better abie to do their chores the suc- eseding year. Whenever we would play wnder C team requirements. it meant t quite a few of the key men of our 145-pound squad were missing. Wi'iiam Bil'ings, James Shroyer to mention two! Now, for a running account of the eeason. First, the varsity. We started eat the season at Morganton. playing the Western Conference Champions! A team that had not suffered defeat since our game with them of the year before. To everyone's amazement, Barium defeated this strong. well coached team. 31-0 the identical score that the 1939 game ended tm. Roach and Gibbs both showed up good in this game, with one dream touchdown, made by a substitute. It was like this: This game being one of the epening games of the season, was being very profuse'y photographed. On a'most every play photographers would flash their bulbs and then when time was out, they would sit down cn the bench with the players. Willism Bi''ings, one of the Barium substitutes, remarked to one of there photographers not to use all of his bulbs, but to save one for his touch- down. Well, late in the game. Bi'lings wes sent in as a substitute and Fletcher threw him a lenge prss. which he tock in beautiful fashion snd ran for a touch- down and photogranhers were right on the spot to catch him! The fol'owing week Barium opened Char'otte’s season at the big stadium in Char'otte, p'aying to the biggest crowd that was present at any High Schoo’ game in North Carclina this season between eight and nine thousand people And the game didn't disappoint anybo”* Charlotte scored on the last play of th inet h-lf, but did not complete the extra point, Barium ‘running a high-blood pres uic over that score started out in th econd ha'f and promptly puched ove 1 touchdown, tying the score. Then in a moment of relaxation, on the part o* ur team, Davy Coats, of the Charlotte sem hele Inose and ran eighty yerds for Charlotte’s second touchdown. They completed the point after and Bariur was definitely in the hole. We came back again,. however, making the second touch- — and tying up the final score at 18- A week later Rerium opened its home season with the Mills Home. and played the closest game of any of the entire sea- son. Finally coming out with a 7-0 vie- tory. The touchdown was the result of a pass, Roach to Fletcher. The folowing week, Barium went to Winston to heip the Children’s Home ce'ebrate Home-Coming day. This was probably the most exciting game of the verr. The game started out with the Children’s Home marching down the field for a touchdown, in their old irresistible manner! Just a few minutes later, how- ever, Barium came back witk a ‘touch. down, the resut of a presse. Roach to Norman, and then just a little bit later a second touchdown, a pass, Roach to tibbse. ‘his is the way the score stoud at ‘he half. At the berinning of the secor? half about the third play. Roach ren 70 varda for a touchdown. Then Children’s Home scored one, then Barium scored ne - the resu't of a beautifu' pass to the end zone. which was taken bv G'bb: who was surrounded by Chi dren's Home no'ayers. On the next to the last play of *he game, the Chi'dren’s Home scored - the final result being, Barium 26, Chil- 'ren’s Home 21. Back home again! With Barium beat- ing their old rivals, Concord! This was 1 game that is a’'ways interesting and is one of the mest popular of Berrium’s home vames. The final resu't was Ba- rium 87. Concord 6. Concord was in a s'ump fo'lowing their very hard game with Kennanolis the werk hefrre. The following week Barium journeved ‘o Lexington and suffered it< on'v defe>t of the season. The secre be'ng 13-0 dn * at ; ; wee nvimatan awinet on sca common consent the best High School e.m in North Carolina and the score is « true indication of the difference in the strencth of the two teams.

This article, as usual, deals with good news in reference to the regular giving to the Home at Barium Springs. There is one significant item available for recording in the December issue of The Messenger. It is 9: this: Commonwealth Avenue Sun- day Schocl, which has only re- cently been organized in Char- lotte having originated as pe mission point of the Caldwel' Memorial Church, has already adcpted the offering-per-mon h plan and has sent its first re- sponse to Barium Springs! It’s significant when Sunday Schools which have been jn ex- istence for a long time insti- tute such a program, but it is especially noteworthy _ when one of the “baby” Sunday Schoo] adopt such a plan at the very outset of their organ- ization. Ccnstantly being urged is the adoption of a svstematic p’ar of assisting the Home covering a span of 12 months, rather than have to depend unon th’ Thanksgiving Offering for one- half of the ccntributed total each fiscal period. One of the biggest avenues of such aid is through the Sunday Schools. which not only help Barium Springs but also develop in their members a spirit of be- nevolence that finds reflection 3 in giving to all of the causes. > DECEMBER 0 In Case Y O U Failed to Make Your Thanks- No. 3 giving Offering the Blank Below Is for Your Convenience “A MY THANKSGIVING OFFERING MMS ee AE aren ce Ernest Milton, Treasurer, Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, N.

It is known that on Decem- ber 20th, $34,162.38 had been received from churches, 329 of which had ccmpleted their reports to the Home, and many of whem had reported Thanksgiving Offering parti- ally. Of the 329 reports which had been marked “ecmplete”, 194 of them had given as much, or more, than in the season of 1939, and 59 churches had the distinction of making their best Thanks- giving Offerings to Barium Springs since the Thanksgiv- ing period of 195 - as far kok os the records have been checked. A daily report is kept on the receipts and the churches completing their reports, and this informaticn is always available, but if the usual ex- perience holds true this year, then over $5,000 of the Thanksgiving Offering will come in January alone. Some of the churches have . > (Continued On Page Three) oF Memorial Rooms Another living room and an- other bedroom have been pro- vided with $200.00 and $100.00 gifts, respectively, since the November article on “Memo- rial Rooms” was written and appeared in last month’s copy of ‘this paper. Nine bedrooms and two living rooms have therefore been spoken for by individuals, most of whom are giving these amounts to Ba- rium Springs as memorials to loved cnes. The $200.00 gift was given by a lady who contributed it as a memorial to her husband, who died in October of 1938. The other $100.00 contribution, which was endorsed here so that it could pass through the hands of Synodica] treasurer was given by an individual but was not designated as a mem- orial to anyone. That person simply wanted to know that she was having a part in fur- nishing the new cottages which are to be constructed at Ba- rium Springs. This makes a total of $1,- 300.00 that has been given to- ward the furnishings of the cottages, and at the rate that the ro.ms are being asked for, the necessary money will be in hand to furnish them when the cottages have been built and ready for occupancy, Any inquiries about the fur- nishing of these rooms can be directed to Ernest Milton, Treasurer.

We have our Christmas tree before break- fast. Very few of us sleep the night before. Our Santa Claus is always good to us. Howard and Jack Clark, from Lenoir, have come to make their home in our Cottage. We are glad to have them, and they act like “old timers” already. é Jack Jones had a nice visit with friends in Mooresville at Thanks- giving. aa Charles Barrett enioved a visit from his mother recently. We want to tell our good friends who have been making such_ nice warm quilts for us how much we appreciate them. We have al] just received a new quilt for our beds and they are fine these cold nights. We had a good dinner Thanks- giving. Our friends at Steele Creek always remember to. send the chickens, the Mooresvile Ice Cream Company never forgets that we like their ice cream, and the ladies in Biacknall Memorial Church, Durham, recall that we like cake. A lct of us are catching rabbits these frosty mornings. The football season has ended. We had ovr annua) banquet and the foll: wing of our boys received their letters: On the 85-pound team: Fred Cole. Wilbur Coats, John Ammons. Stanley Smith, Thad Stevens, Bil- ly Everett and Ed Blake. On the 100-pound team: Esau Davis, Bennett Baldwin, Amos Hardy, Bobby Whittle, Richard Shoaf, O. | BD.

Fork, Va., Miss Nee] is with us while she is away. We al- ways enjov having her substitute for Miss Turner. We all send our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. —The Lee’s Boys. WOMAN'S BUILDING First Floor Hello There, Here we are again bringing you the highlights and headlines of the month. We had lots of friends to visit us this month, but Santa hasn't showed up yet. We won’t give up though. We h’pe good ole Santa will fill our stockings like our basketbal: teams filled the basket when we beat Scotts Friday night. We hope we’l] have even better luck with our conference games. We would like to thank Sugaw Creek Church fer the nice ifts they sent the Woman’s Building girls We would also like to thank Mr. Carter for inviting us to the show, We sre do like our Christmas Mehts that scme one gave to us. We are goine to heve a bie trae with lithts and everything in the middle of the campus. They have no* finished it yet but so far it locks gonad The girls and boys are back from the Orphanage Conference and they report that Sara Parcel] was the life of the conference. Mary Lynn Jones just can’t un- derstand why she isn’t captain of the basketball team. But every- one else can, Mary Ann McCormick asked Santa for something tall, dark and handsome, labeled “Bill”, If any one can figue out what this is, please inform the press. Although Joyee Weeks’ heart belongs to Tommy, she still gets letters from Fort Screven in Georgia. Our own little Ruth Cole has been receiving letters from Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. We wonder when she will get her affections settled again. Emma Eudy was seen Christmas shopping at the dime store. Won- der what she’ll get Pleas for Christmas. Does anyone know why “Jar- vis” and “Bonk Bonk” don’t have visitors from Charlotte on Sun- day nights any more? Don’t get excited girls, we just ask. Why does Evelyn Coppedge like to go to Church at Davidson on Sunday nights, Could it be the brunette in the Choir? Although Lillie MeDenald got a late start practicing basketball, she is making up for lost time now. If she had another year up here she would probably be cap- tain of the team. Louise Martin doesn’t blush every time she sees a certain ’39 Ford the way she use to do, They say “an old flame never dies.” Does it, Louise? We'll have to say Merry Christmas.

WOMAN'S BUILDING Second Flcor Here we are again bringing you the news and gossip of Second Floor combined through your most faithful reporters. Grace Adams is the lucky one who finally landed Billy Brock’s lonescme lovelorn heart. But, Le- ona Hall says that doesn’t help her any, After chasing A. G. Nor ris for so long she’s still in the same spot. (We think she’s abcut to surrender.) The Mid-Night Serenader (T- Bone Jarvis) isn’t heard as often as she used to be because she wa | told it would make her prettier if she would go to bed an hour ear'- ier. The better for her (if the r: sults come) and us, too. Binkie Baldwin, to her satis- | faction, is now working on the W. P. A. after quite a few months in the kitchen and laundry of what she calls hard labor. (We al. agree.) “Hallowe’en” Royal has ccme to the decision that she would rather have John Lee come to see her in- stead of Willie. At that rate she will soon conquer romance, Quite a few of our girls have been getting mail (or males) frcm Fort Jackson, S. C, But only one hears from Fort Screven, Ga. Why try to be different, Joyce? Congratulations to Mary Parks, our “al] Barium” basketbal] play- er. Looks like she’s taking Isabel’; place, To Dot’s regret, “Black-Out” Stricklin has again changed his heart throb. The press isn’t sure but we have our ideas about him seeing “Glamor Girl” Johns. n secretly, But as usual he will prob- ably have another next month. (Don’t rush him so, girls.) “Smouchy” Jones has finally re- ceived some new glasses. The ones she’s been wearing for about six years were getting pretty dull, To our eyes, they help her appearance, and we figure to her eyes they help our appcarance, be- cause she certainly is makine a lot of compliments here lately. Could it be we really lo.k better or because it’s near Christmas? “Spooks” Allen (who kn. ws all, sees all and by all means tells all) reports the case of Margie and Wallace doesn’t make such an ex- citing love story after all. (It’s a | the children in the | their say-so, too, when they write December |¥4+u Letier o. App.eviation There are a good many “thank you” jetters ofiiciay wr.tten trom Barium Springs every year, and Home have to express appreciati.n of money sent to Barium Springs for their clothes, These jetters always pass through the hands of the clothing secretary and one recently writ- ten was of a nature that it was decided to reproduce it in the co? umns of The Messenger. It is a newsy letter, grateful ness is aptiy expressed, and an- other thing which stands out in the minds of the officials is the cordiality of the invitation that this letter-writer extended to the clothing people to visit Barium Springs. That invitation goes out from the authvrities repeatedly and now the public will know how the children fee] about such visits. Anyone who comes is assured oi a cordial welcome. But, let the letter speak for it- self. Here ’tis: “I love to express my apprecia- tion to you for sending the money for my clothes. You don’t have ‘any idea of how much I appreciate you always sending it. We always get such nice cluthes. We are ex- pecting to get our winter shoes pretty soon, I think we are going to receive a jacket to wear dur- ing the winter, also, “I’m sure we’d all love to have you visit cur campus just any time you can, I don’t believe you have visited us yet, have you? You can always be sure to receive a hearty welcome at Barium anytime you wish to come. Won’t you cume to see us sometime? “Our football season has just started and we’re hoping to have a good team this year. We have had a game with Morganton, and We won 31-0, Everyone had ex- pected Charlotte to beat us, but we managed to hold them down and the score was 13-13. Last year We Were beaten, but we were lucky enough to tie the score this time. Maybe, you were at the game on Sept. 27th. Were you? All the way around, it was a grand game. “Tuesday night all of the high schoo] students were invited to the Statesville Fair, and we reaily had a grand time. Tomorrow all of the grammar grade students are going to the fair, alsu, and | only hupe they have as grand a time as everyone had last night. “Last Saturday night Miss Clark, ovr matron, let our tenth grade girls give a party to our football boys, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. “On November Ist we will have our Home-Coming game and we play with Albemarle, Why don’t you and your friends come to see our game?

ANNIE LOUISE Hello Readers, None of our girls went to the November birthday table. but sev- eral will go in December, - We all got new shoes last week They were pretty and fit just like a top. We are expecting to get a new pair of bedroom slippers some time before Christmas. Betty Lou Hooten, Elsie Vest Mary Morgan. and Jean Stepp: made show tickets in school for doing the best work in their clas es. Our big girl, Gertrude Bryan: went to visit friends in Greens boro and had a lovely time. She saw one of our o'd Barium girls Nancy Parcell, whom we all ies We have been to s e two shows this month. One was “Knute Rockne At] -\merican”, and it wa: a grand picture, iW liams Clay Ma: (Con! ine “d On Page Thee) on thd em Page Three 1940 FOOTBALL SEASON (Continued From Page One.) Lexington hud the most pounds with the aiorementioned results. The following week was Home-Coming Day at Barium. By the way, this was the fourth Home-Coming affair as the Lexington game was a Home-Coming event - something like four thousand enthusiastic fans saw the Lexington game. One important thing about Bar.um’s Home-Coming for the last few years has been the fact that it always rains on that day. This year was no exception and Aibemar'e, a fine big team, furnish- ed the opposition. The final score was Barium 19. A'’bemar'e 0. A grand game, in spite of the rain! The attendance at this game was confined to people in cars and there was a curprising number present. One week later K-nnopolis, was enter- teined at Barium and it looked like Kan- napo is wae in the slump. It was either that or Barium had risen to an unusual peak. The fina! score was Barium 45. Kannape'is 0. Barium play2d everybody on the bench, but the more substitutes that went in, the harder they seemed to try, with the result that the score kept roliing up. This performance was con- tinued a week later. when Gastonia took the field against us, Gastonia p ayed us a very close game in 1939, with a final seore coming in the last few minutes of the game. a'tiowing Barium to beat by one point. This year Barium took off, right et the stert and appeared irresistibie. The final score being Barium 53, Gas- tonia 6. This score looks ‘ike a _ route, but Gastonia displayed some most talent- ed players - their passer, kicker and run- ner, Shepard and some tall pass catching ends. put on a beautiful performance. The last game of the season was played at Solisbury at nivht on the Cxtawba College grounds. This was another big affair, with a large attendance and the game wes bril'iant! Both teams played hard ba'l. Barium received the kickoff made no ground on the first two plays, but on the third pay, Gibbs from the wing back got through the line and made about 20 yards, when he was gonged up. at exactly the right moment he made a perfect lateral pass to Roach who went the rest of the distance for a touchdown. In the second quarter a beautiful pas= Roach to Gibbs, accounted for a secon’ touchdown. Then Salisbury took over and brought the score up to within one point 14.13. Later on Barium drove the len:th of the fie'd without relinquishing the ba} for their third and final touchdown. Score, Barium 21, Salisbury 13. The eleven men who started the first game against Morganton, were in this final came at Slibury. A number of them had been substituted but none of them had missed any game on account of injury. A most remarkable season. especially since in every g-me that Ba. rium layed, they were the ‘ichter of the two teams enveged. The line-up of this team is listed below. The backfield boys and the ends did the scoring, but those linesmen were certainly in there bieckine nd keeping the other teams ‘rom scoring. In the Midget games. Without attempt- ing to give in detrei an account of each game. We played Morgentan twice in all three weights. We played Children’s Home twice in the 100’s and in 85-pound weights We rleyed Oxford Orrhonage once in the 125 and 100 pound weights. We played Concord once in Reserves and C team and a second time in C team. The 125’s won victories over Morgrnton Alexander Grab:m Jackson Training Schoo, Concord, Kannaro'is, Albemarle, Morganton, the second time and Kanr-- polis. They lost to Oxford and Albemarle in their final eames, The ‘C term lost to Concord and to Victory Schools in Gas- tonia, wen twice from Statesvi!e and once from Concord. Jack Weeks was the | tail-beck and the brvins, in addition to being the rasser and the kicker for this team, whether it ployed es Reserves, as C team or as the regultr 125-pound. He went good against the big boys he wou'd meet in Pecerves and when he ovlavel on the 125's and had boys to take his passes like Pil ings and Shroyer, he really went to town. The other back-field men who gave splendid service en this team were Price, Stricklin, McKenzie. with Whittle occas- ion-l'y seeing service. The 199-nound teem lost both games to the Children’s Home, winning a'l the others - their victory over Oxford being quite an upset! The 85-pounders lost one e-me to the Chi'@ren’s Heme, wirnin the second game from the Children’s Home an? both games from Morganton. One of the srecial trirs of the year was when the 125 end 100’s met Oxfor? in Green-boro. This was a change from the old system of paying home and home gemes. Our 106-pound team surprised us by beating the strong Oxford team. and the Ovferd 1925's were surprised to beat our 125-pounders, but two rerfect plays from scrimmage accompli-hed our de- fert in that eame. Our disapnointment over Iesing this game was smothered or drowned by the fine dinner furnished bv our Greensboro friend, Mr. Bill Preyer. The boys were taken to the Country Club and they tel! us that chickens are still afraid to go near that place, from the number that were eaten on that par- ticular day. One of the feetures of the play of the smalest of the Midget tesms, was an &0 yard touchdown from kick-off made by Ee Pieke. A new-eomer on the 85-pound squad. A list of the players of all these teams will be found at the bottom of this artic’e. Before closing this artic’e. we want to say 2 word about the officiating of the Mideet games. All of our home gamer were handled by Roach. re‘eree; Pittman umnire; Norman, henad-linesman; and Gibbs, field-ju¢ge, and they did a most satisfactory job and the fine quality of their work was commented on by the visitors in every inst-nce.
