C., JANUARY 1943 ing Offering W I No. Il Be Over $55,000 | $15,000 Added to Scholarship Endowment Final Total Will Be the Greatest In All Barium’s History On January 13, $50,800.00 Had Been Received, With At Least $4,500.00 to Be Forwarded $46,355.23 IN 1941 152 Churches Have Sent Best Sums In 18 Thanksgiving Seasons The 1942 Thanksgiving Offer- ing from the Synod of North Caro- lina to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs is slated to be the greatest response in any single Thanksgiving season in the 51-year history of the Home. Sometime ago it was felt that this would possibly occur and as the responses have continued to reach Barium Springs the certainty of this has become more pronounced. While no checkup of contribu- tions made to Barium Springs has been made beyond 1925, yet it is felt that the largest gifts to the Home by the Synod have come since that year. In that period of 18 years, the greatest | total given was $51,338.58, con- | tributed in 1936 when intensive efforts were successfully mad2> throughout the Synod to get an exceptional Thanksgiving Offer- ing and pay off the mortgage in- debtedness on the Home. However, that 1936 Thanksgiv- ing sum is going to be easily passed by the final report for 1942, for on January 13th, the Synod had forwarded a little over $50,800.00 to Barium Springs as Thanksgiving response. It was conservatively estimated that be- tween $4,500.00 and $5,000.00 was yet to be sent by some of the churches, for few had not ubmitted the aonite 9 original reports. and many others were having supplementary Offerings for the Home. The final Thanksgiving total of 1941 was $416,355.23, so the giving of Svnod in the 1942 Thanksgiving be around $9,000.00 season will better than the previous year. Officials here are gratified that the higher cost of living, as it is a family at Barium is being taken care of by inevitably reflected in the size of this one Springs, i | than in any previous vear, not ex- '|Rationing of Doctors Doesn’t Bother Barium Completion of Clinics in Janu- ary Shows Family Here in Excellent Health According to a recent article by| a prominent doctor, Iredell Coun- ty doesn’t have one doctor to each eight hundred population, whica was the pre-war quota; nor one to every 1,500, which, is considered a practical maximum, but one to each 4,800, which means that we've got to ration the doctors just like we do our sugar and gasoline, and) coffee. And Barium Springs is} evidently working in that direc- tion, Here is why: We have just completed ow mid-Winter examination of the physical condition of the children at Barium Springs. We found six | children with bad tonsils; four/| others needing minor treatments or operations - one major opera- | tion needed. We found one child with child- hood tuberculosiss as compared with the usual average of 25] needed tonsillectomies, and 18s many as 12 active childhood tu® bercular cases, which has been the« average for a good many years. On the other side of the ledger | we found that the general condi- tion of the children was better cepting two years ago when we made this same statement. One person gained 28 pounds, fourteen gained between 20 and 30 and only one person failed to show some gain. Being one of the older girls, it was no indication of ill health. For the past two years we have gotten by without one case of flu. This year, not one cold even chowed un at examination time. In January, 1941, we put on an experiment, using codliver oil} tablets for 30 days. Apparently | the results were good, but to be sure we tried it again in 1942, with the same good results - this | vear we doubled the length of| time that we plan to use these re-| inforcing tablets and apparently | the best results yet are in evidence Our Christmas was a very hap-| py one in spite of restricted travel and the impossibility of getting ome of the things that have al- the Synod because of its superior ways been a part of our Christ-| (Continued On Page Two) CHP CP OR POR Barium Springs, N.

The other Circle at Grove was already doing this, and now it is 100°. The Busi- ness Girls’ Cirele didn’t an- rounce its winner of the cate chism examination, but the en- tire membership became con- scious of what it would mean to the Home to receive something regularly throughout the en- tire year.

L. Matheson, of Mooresville, sent $100.00 for the proposed building at Barium Springs. Mr. and Mrs. Matheson had in mind thle purchasing of a $100.00 bond for the church, but later de- cided to send the $100.00 in casr to Barium Springs for investment in bonds here. It was well that this decision was reached, too, since all of the bonds are regis- tered in the proper name of the Home. It was some time before the first bond was made out and de- livered from the date of applica- tion because of the desire to have these registered properly. Up until the time that gift came from these Mooresville friends, the sums in the memorial churen fund were simply memorial contri- butions sent in honor of friends loved ones, and these were considerably in excess of 500 in number in three-fourths of the year. Along about the Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas seasons an un- usually large number arrived m memory of loved ones who were not here to help celebrate those occasions with the donors of these amounts. and it was hard to say who - tare : as thi —s aes oe While the memorial fund is ac- > ve s 2ST1 s, .

Announcement) of this second $15,000.00 to be added to the orig- inal sum of the same figure has been made by Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent, who stated that Mrs, Ellis’ second gift would help open the way for assistance to col- lere students who were interested in professional careers. In sending this $15,000.00, Mrs Fllis voiced a Wish that some of the income from this second sum be so used. Immediately upon. receiving this $15.000.00, it was forwarded to the fiscal agent of the endowment fund of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home for investment, and the in- rome from the second aniount will be kept in a separate account, which is true of the receipts from investments of the original $15,- 000.900. 'n establishing what is now a $30,000.00 scholarship fund Mrs Ellis voiced a wish that when this money advanced t college students that no notes b> required is of them. Each student obtaining assistance from. the fund is told that there is no legal obligation to repay this at ater date, but that if they are eve: in a posi- tion to do so that their repayment will simply become a part of the vrincipal, so that the fund will build up in future years for the benefit of other boys and girls at Barium Springs who later go to college.

But, He didn’t have a little white bed like ours. He was so good to us Christ- mas, too. He let Santa come to see us and Santa brought us dolls, tea sets. picture books, little chairs, cradles, tin horns, music boxes and lots of things. We made up a band and we played on our toy pianos, blew the horns and whistles and made so much noise that we ‘spect Santa heard us way up at the north pole. We didn’t get much candy, but we didn’t ’specially want it, “cause Santa couldn’t buy it. We — got apples, oranges, nuts and raisins - all we wanted. Some of us had a little “tummie ache,’ but not much, Nobody said “don’t do that” unless we got ugly and all of us wanted the same thing. Then wed look at the little Jesus picture and get so ’shamed. ’ We had a Christmas party and Mr. Johnston gave out our pres- ents. Mrs. Johnston came, too, and we had such a good time.

Outstanding, too, was the fact that 152 church- | es had sent their best Thanksgiv- ing sums in 18 years. If a check was made beyond 1925, it would be found that most of these were the best since gifts started com- ing to Barium Springs after its establishment in 1891. Most of those 152 churches broke peaks which! were set in 1941, for 57 of the 94 churches having their best Offerings in 1941 went on to higher heights in 1942. Twelve of them broke sums which had been on the books. as far back as 1925. The years since were: Bear Grass, Grantham, Johnson Chapel, Pinetops, Poplar Roberson’s Chapel, Snow Hill.

In the January issue of The Messen- | ger, a list of 152 such churches gaining that honor was published, so the addition of 17 others makes a total of 169 advancing to their greatest heights in the Thanks- riving seasons since 1925. This is rot all yet, it is felt here, for with some other Thanksgivinz reports yet to arrive, there is 2 strong possibility that others are going to be so grouped when the books are finally closed at the end of the church year. | [t is significant and outstand ing that close to 34.5% of th>* churches in the Synod can lay claim to this outstanding accom- plishment, for 169 of the 490 com pleted reports have been the best in 18 Thanksgiving seasons.

A cordial welcome is extended to this Sunday School, which has aligned itself with! the majority in the North Carolina Synod in some definite plan of regular aid, Until last month, New- some’s Chapel had participated only in the Thanksgiving Of- fering, but now a report will arrive from them after each fifth Sunday. Newsome’s ——!} Odds and Ends l J During the emphasis on the in- fantile paralysis campaign in cele- bration of the President’s birth- day, the children in the schools at Barium ‘Springs contributed $13.30. This was the first time that any effort had been made in the schools here for this fund, and the boys and girls seemed to be glad to pool together their small funds and be able to forward this much to help in this worthy cause. The boys attending the high school at Barium Springs had a 100% attendance during the month of January, while the entire at- tendance for the whole school was not much below a 100% record. The attendance of the girls in the high school would have been very close to 100%, too, except for the fact that there were’a couple of appendectomies among the girls. By the way, we’re expecting the third appendix operation any time now, for they seem to come ina series of three. A checkup through the school showed that the teachers and pu- pils here purchased $122.70 worth of government stamps and bonds during the month of January, and that the whole purchase now to- tals $940.75 because of the pre- vious amount of $818.05 that had been invested in these securities. In addition to this, $170.00 in bonds and stamps had been given to the children in the Home. Quite a large part of that total has been bought by recent graduates of the | Home who are now in the various services and who have brothers or sisters still at Barium. Some of the purchases have been made in the name of family members (Continued On Page Three) cn LDF 27 $ Ernest Milton, Treasurer, Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, N. C.

It is here that the greatest number of Sunday Schools in history will be in this grouping by the year’s end. There will be many, many new- comers to the $100.00 Club in 1942- 1943, for a good many of the Sun- day Schools who have been close to gaining entrance in former years are extending themselves in the current Church period so | that they might be included. Sever- | al have written to the treasurer at Barium Springs to “dust off seat” for them because they ex- | pected to be occupying one when | the final report was received for the year.

The Japs did get it finally but the Hornet got probably three times its own weight from the Japs before it was finally put out of the fight.

As a result, 21 of the 73 Sunday Schools _ written adopted some plan of giving to the Home. other than in the Thanksgiving season. They adopt ed either the Offering-per-monta procedure, or started setting aside the fifth Sunday donations, which- ever the financial condition and ability of the Sunday Schovi would permit. Another church year will soon begin, and so a public “Want Ad’ like the one in 1936, is being printed in this issue of The Mes- senger. It is directed to the min- ority of the Sunday Schools in the Synod, since the majority are al- ready ‘regularly assisting in_the support of this large family. Here it is: WANTED: Between now and April 1, 19438, 40 to 50 Sunday Schools in the Synod that wii! vote to give one Offering per month to the Home at Barium Springs, beginning with any Sunday in the first month of the 1943-1944 Church year. !

He also announced that the final amount handed in to the chairman of the Red Cross for Iredell county was $107.50, which was considerably more than double the $44.00 given in 1942. That wes an increase of over 144.3. To Ernest Stricklin and __ his committee, Marie Morgan, May Lynn Jones, Janie Smith and Joe Long go all of the credit for the conducting of this campaign. They thought is was completed when $96.00 was raised, but asked that the sum be held over until they did a little more work. The result was an additional $11.50 to make it $107.50. This little community is deeply concerned about the present world conflict, and the part the Red Cross plays in ministering to the service men. The number of alum- ni in the services is now approach- ing 150. Some of those are the sons of members of the staff, others are brothers of boys and girls still on the campus, and most of the personnel here has some rela- tive in the army, navy or air corps. The spirit of willingness to help in this campaign was an In- centive and spur to the solicitors acho thoroughly enjoyed the part they played in such a_ splendid record.

We think that summed it up in what he wrote | and thus we are quoting his com- ment below - statements that we | know could be duplicated by th« } majority of the fellows in the ser- vices: } “Mr. Johnston, since I have been is the army I have learned very ) qnickh; hy you always put so much stress on drinking in our Schoo} Class at Barium Sunday fered a drink, those Sunday Schoo] lessons pop in my mind very quick- ly and very vividly. “Boys will say that you are not a sport, as I have experienced, but after you refuse them, it seems as if I can see a light of respect in their faces. “Every boy that I run around | with drinks a little and they ask : | me time and time again to drink is with Bobby, | Be with them but I’ve always refuse‘. ! They cannot believe that I have! never even tasted beer. They think | that every boy my age has at least | tasted it, but I am glad to sayj that I have never tasted beer. “It is hard to say ‘No’ the first | time but after that it becomes easier and easier. My belief is that} you can never put too much stress | on not drinking | ““T want to thank vou, Mr. John-| ston. and also Mr. Cook for those} lessons that ight me at Ba- rinm about ng. When some-| one offers me a drink, it seems! thet I can recall evervone of your} talks and T readily say, ‘No’.” Part of Mr, Johnston’s letter of | | February i6th follows: | “During the month I’ve received | ; about twenty letters, but only onej visit.

Jim Johnston wrote : Janie Smith Wins Prize in Sewing In the Giri Homemakers’ contest, sponsored by the Junior group of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Statesville, Jani Smith, a senior in the high schooi at Barium Springs, was awarded second prize for her dress entry which she had made in the do- mestic science class here. The prize was $2.00 in war savings stamps. The entry of Janie was a three piece cotton dress. The skirt and sleeveless jacket of the dress were of red and were worn with a shirtwaste type blouse of whit« Others who entered dresses in the contest were Evelyn Coppedge and Berthe Lee Broome, Every year some of those in th Home Economics class here entci this contest. One year, the entry won the state-wide decision, and when modeled by the maker, Mar garet Presnell, in the national contest in Washington, D. ©. it received honorable mer ion from the judge the best piece of news we have had this menth. Several days ago Louise Martin wrote from Win- ston-Salem saying that she had n an article in the Winston papcr stating that J. D. Beshears : ‘yy prisoner. Up to now r, D. and Ren Morrow were re- noried as missing and this is the first intimation that we've hai that either of them was still alive. “New recruits going into the Army and Navy so fast that it is hard to keep up with them: Henry Pittman, A. G. Norris, Billy Me- Call, Gwyn Fletcher, and Marley Sigmon, to mention a few. I have received 26 letters. Henry Pitt- man is at Camp Swift near Aus tin, Texas. Henry said the boys in his Company asked him jf he really had a good time in Barium rir ind his answer was tha: he wished he war 3 years old and was just entering Barium now! Pilly McCall has written twice nce from Camp Croft and once from Fort Jackson. He is with the paratroops. “Gwyn Fletcher entered’ the Navy and is at Bainbridge, Mary- land, the same place Ed William- son is. Ed Williamsen’s letter says he is getting in real football shane.

Al- bert Cumbie has been promoted to Corporal and sent to Provost Ma-- shall School at Fort Custer, Mich. “A. D. Potter is still in the Ca- nal Zone, but he has been trans- ferred from the Infantry to Ord- nance. One of Jim Johnston's re- cent letters contained a V-mail letter, written by Paul Cornette. Paul told Jim ‘If we just had a few more Barium boys to help with the Japs they’d soon wind that thing up.’ Evidently Paul is down in the Solomons. Lee Spencer has been promoted to Corporal. Lacy Beshears writes from Gulfport, Miss. He says he is only 12 miles from Keesler Field where Arthur Roach is. Alice Jones Bender writes and tells a good deal about that husband of hers. “A splendid letter from R. C, Miller, who is delighted over get- ting the service letter. He expects to get a Corporal rating soon. Da- vid Spencer writes that Texas is a lot like North Carolina, but he will settle for the Tar Heel State everytime. Dave hopes to have a reunion with Julius Kinard in the near future. A letter from Lester King says he is at Army Airbase, Reno, Nevada, studying Chemical Warfare. He is in quarantine right now on account of several cases of measles showing up. We’ve just received word that Tommy Adams is in the Field Artillery at Camp Roberts, Cali- fornia - been in the Army a month. Frank Denson is a seaman, 2-C on U. S. S. Washington.

No! has yet had to make up any icit. The Sunday Schools not using the plan at present are challenged to try it for one year. Barium Springs is in the budget of the Synod of North Carolina for 8.5% for 1948-1944, which, according to the estimate would be $50,830.00. However, the best year of giving through church budgets was in 1941-1942, when $18,341.14 arrived, and when 1942- i943 is over, the amount received through budget allotments will be just about the same as the pre- vious Church period. Synod recognized that the bud- gets do not give the necessary reg- ular contributions to Barium and for years it has approved and re- affirmed the Offering-per-month plan. Within nine years the amount contributed to Barium Springs through the Sunday Schools has gone from $13,44 6.42 in 1933-1934 to $21,225.46 in 1941-1942. It will be over $22,500.00, according to present indications, by the close cf 1942-1948 because of the adop- tion of some plan of assistance by more Sunday Schools in the past 11 months, plus increased liber- ality on the part of those which have been helping the Home reg- ularly for many, many years. Whenever possible there is a “Good News” item in The Mes senger each month, as other or- ganizations start helping regularly. There are some items in this issve and more than likely there will be some other delightful revela- tions to make next month, Public recognition is gladly made of this, for it inspires other organizations | to go and do likewise. or | Dunn f this in the!

The high school chose up into four teams who are playing each other. The teams are: “Burney’s Wolves”, “Stricklin’s Alley Cats”, “Long’s Mountain Apples”, and “Bolton’s Bulls”. Some teams - and all of then live up to their names! Dal- las “Tickertape” Ammons gives us the day-by-day news on the games. “Bolton’s Bulls” are now in the lead, but you can never tell, the “Alley Cats” are really scat- ting. WALLACE COTTAGE With the end of school comes spring-time feelings each year because we get out into the opea more. The Seniors will soon be leaving. The Wallace Building only loses two this year. They are Jimmy Stafford and Roscoe Twombly. After they leave we will be get- tin two new boys and a few changes. You can probably see their names in the next edition f The Barium Messenger. ANNIE LOUISE We got our report cards last week. We had nine girls on the honor roll. They were: Patty In- man, Hazel Creech, Jackie Porter- field, Aline Thomas, Louise Camp- bell, Katie Dunn, Eloise Morris, Peggy Joyce Land and Sylvia Sue Buie. Peggy Joyce Land has been do- ing fine in music this year. She has gotten a star on every lesson. Helen Hawley is going to play in the recital Friday night. 3 News From Most of the Cottages at Barium ; have as our “house mother”, Amos School will be out soon and we} Hardy, who has had so much ex- are looking forward to the sum-j| ‘perience taking the small boys mer and all the good times we are} and girls on hikes, playing “ring really | successor. Pattie Inman’s father came to see us, and brought us a set of games containing a checker board, a chinese checker board, table ten- nis set, bingo, dominos, cards, a target and some arrows. We are enjoying playing with them. So many of our girls have re- ceived clothing boxes from friends. All of the clothes were so pretty and we are so proud of them. We do want to thank you for them, friends. STULTZ COTTAGE The school year is almost gone, and much to our regret we will be losing some of our boys who live in this cottage. We now have ten boys in our cottage, and out of the ten four will graduate this month, namely, Donald Bolton, Joe Long, Marshall Norris and _ Richard Shoaf. Two of the boys are going to the navy, one to the air corps and the other to the army. We know they will make fine men for our Uncle Sam. We now have plenty to take up our time and to take our minds off the war. We play softball about every evening, and you could never guess how much we enjoy playing it. We also have a great deal of studying to do since ex- ams. are not far off. JOHNSTON COTTAGE Two of our boys will have graduated when you read this. They are Pleas Norman and Er: nest Stricklin. Due to the war, we will not get any vacations this year, but we will have a grand time down at Camp Fellowship. We always look forward to having a lot of fun at camp each year. : We have some very interesting things in our quad. We have a “dog catcher’s association” head- ed by Esau Davis, president; Her- bert McMasters, vice-president, and with Howard Clark and Gene Dunn “burriers”. Howard Clark resigned from the “cave associa- tion” to join this very important club. : When the Seniors leave we will around the roses”, etc. with them.

Gene Dunn will probably be his successor for he always washed the containers and got the milk so faithfully, He ought to know how now. We want to express our appre- ciation to Mr. Johnston for his fine work in our Sunday School Class. We think you are a fine teacher, Mr. Johnston, and we are glad you teach our class. For the two Seniors, we want to thank all of you, all over the State, for the aid they have given that has made jt possible for them to finish! school. They appreciate it more than they could ever Say. BABY COTTAGE First Floor One of our Easter bunnies has already been to see us, that is, Miss Egerton. She brought us ali a big Easter basket full of candy. She is a real good friend of ours. Last night the elementary grades had a commencement pro- gram. The little girls that were in it were: Geraldine Kuaten, Louise Bradshaw, Elizabeth Ann Huddles- ton, Shirley Hall, Carol Jean An- drews and Martha Nell Hall. We certainly will miss these little girls when they go to Annie Louise. We have three girls at the In- firmary with the whooping cough. They are Patsy Dean, Shirley Johnson and Martha Nell Hall We certainly do miss them and hope they can be back with us soon, , We're building the Easter story in our playroom with the Story of Jesus - from the star and stable where He was born to the cross and there cur people are coming up from babies to the church on the other side of the cross. We en- joy putting up the pictures and hearing the story of each one. Miss Anna Egerton (one of the teachers in Mooresville school); Mrs. White (the mother of Miss Nita White, the ice cream lady) and Miss Ona Massey, (daughter of Mrs. Massey, ard a Mooresville teacher) came up to see our pro- gram last night. We hope they en- joyed it. Miss Scott was coming, too, but we think she got the mumps and they wouldn’t let her come. Miss White was coming, but was too busy selling ice cream, we think. Maybe they will come some other time. INFIRMARY To our list of sickness we can add whooping cough and more colds; but it isn’t serious and the patients are well on the road to recovery. The Music Recital is Friday. Three of our girls are talented in this field but only two are going to play. We are sure that they will do as well that night as they have these past few weeks while practicing. “Practice makes per- fect” you know. Lieut. R. G. Calhoun has paid us a visit on a leave from Fort Wheeler, Ga. Mr. Calhoun was the principal of the school until he went to the army. We miss him very much, but we are glad that Mr. Hethcox is in that position now. Ensign Tilton Bundy visited Mae Allen Barrett, his sister. Til- ton has finished his training at Austin Peay College. He is in the Navy Air Corps. Corporal Ernest Smith visited his sister, Lucille. He is stationed at Camp Gordon, Ga. Lillie Belle Smith was visited by her cousin, Corris Smith. He is now at Camp Gruber, Okla. Blanche Feimster had a_ visit from her brother, Wade Feimster, who is in the Army Air Corps in South Carolina. Ray Lewis, one of our larger boys, has just come back from Charlotte where he underwent an operation on his leg. We missed him very much and are glad _ to have him back. —Mae Allen Barrett.

Let me explain just what the situation is. dren to visit relatives and other friends from two to three weeks during the summer period, and the children look forward to this with more apparent pleasure than to any other thing Llowever, there are always some children who have no place that happens during the year. to go and their disappointment is «ll the greater when the other children talk a great deai about their trips We have always tried to make up to these children, who do not get a vacation, by having special provision made for their pleasure during the summer - an extra week at our Last year there were so many who could not go home that when we totalled up we found that there was more unhappiness about vacations than there was pleasure, and we wanto avoid a repetition of this this summer, if possible. Last summer the transportation difficulties and food rationing difficulties had some- thing to do with the reduction in the number of vacation trips. things are more critical than ever, and fewer relatives can provide vacations than was the ‘ase last year, and that means that fewer children can have a vacation this year, than ever Camp on the river. for instance. before. We have tried our best to a children to have their good time. and not bring about distress among the others. the children were old enough to understand these things, we think we could explain it to them satisfactorily, so that some could go away and some stay. children are little, and they do not understand these things. and when some children go and and others are denied the way to go, their disappointment is so great sometimes that it results in actual sickness, and is certainly harmful to them.

Mr. Mc- Clure said that individuals must have the power to overcome temp- tations, for “temptation is a fact with which everyone must deal. To ignore fact, or refuse to pre- pare to meet temptations, is fool- ishness. It is a common fallacy to suppose that temptations al- ways attack at weak points, but they often attack at our strongest points, causing us to bend like the tallest tree in a storm.” Regarding the necessity of hav- ing and obeying visions he declar- ed that many lives are ruined be- cause the visions of youth are lost amid the trials and disappoint- ments of life. He maintained that vision hias been the secret of so many great men and among those especially mentioned were Moses and Paul. In discussing the necessity of having a desire to serve, Mr. Mc- Clure said “strange as it may seem, man must lose his life in or- der to find it. This is an elemental principal that Jesus gave us, and one that we forget in our peril.” He cited the story of a man who, because he was willing to give his own life if necessary, was able to save his drowning wife and two € children. Mr. McClure felt that a final! necessity was the power to pre- serve. “Growth and development are slow and long processess and cloths, table napkins, ete. you must have the ability to press‘ Galatia Aux., pot holders, towels, wash on, to patiently preserve.

Finally, it arrived at the point gf i cae eo where he thought he was bigger than God. God rebuked him twice, but Saul laughed. Then Saul be- came jealous, he became envious and began to hate the best friend he ever had. Finally, Saul died the inglorious death of a coward upon the battlefield, and before dying he declared ‘I have played the fool’.” “God didn’t intend it that way,” said the speaker, “and if you would chart Saul’s_ spiritual life you would find it started at the top and went downward, whereas God wanted his spiritual life to start low and climb higher and higher.” At this point he told the listeners that there were three planes of living, namely, seif- interest, for others and for the Glory of God. Those planes, he asserted, shouuld be God first, others second and self last, for “Life can be beautiful if it is lived on the plane with God.” Miscellaneous Gifts LINENS & TOILET ARTICLES Hawfields Aux., Circle 1, towels, wash Belmont Aux., Circle clothes, towels, Gilwood Aux., tow scarfs.

C., MAY 1943 No. 8 Outstanding Total Is Donated by the Synod Sum Given Support Fund Best in 18 Years.— Kings Mountain Leads The Synod of North Carolina sent $109,562.90 to the support fund of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs to sur- pass a 1927-1928 peak of $109,372.- 03 which is believed to be tne greatest amount ever sent in any one single year. Records were checked back through 1925-1926. The increase over 1941-1942 was $13,409.02. In the giving of the past 12 months a new leader forged ahead, for top honors in per capita giv- ing in 1942-1943 go to Kings ‘Mountain Presbytery which re- placed Concord, whichi had this distinction in 1941-1942. Concord took second place. Except for a switching of positions by Gran- ville and Albemarle, the standing of the Presbyteries is the same as it was when 1941-1942 ended. Granville takes over fifth place, dropping Albemarle back to sixth. Every one of the nine Presby- teries showed a gain in the grand total, ranging between a $3,003.26 advantage for Fayetteville Presby- tery to a low of $109.64 for Win- ston-Salem. In between were the following increases: Concord, $2,- 277.50, Wilmington, $1,927.56; Mecklenburg, $1,697.79; Kings Mountain, $1,697.14; Orange, $1,- 597.96; Granville, $593.41, and Al- bemarle, $504.76. Concord, Fayetteville and Kings Mountain Presbyteries gave their greatest sum in any one year since 1927-1928, and Mecklenburg, Orange and Wilmington had the distinetion of contributing their second best total in that period of time. Of the grand total of $109.552.- 90, 51.1% was the Thanksgiving Offering of 1942 and 48.9% ar- rived on a regular basis, or re- spective amounts of $56,013.38 and $53,539.62. There was a $9,658.15 gain in the Thanksgiving response, and $3,750.87 more regularly. The regular receipts came from the following sources: Sunday Schools, $23,282.12, or 43.5%; Church budgets, $19.719.11, or 36.- 8%, and Auxiliaries, $10,538.29, or 19.7%. The regular increases ovet 1941-1942 were: Sunday Schools, $2,056.66; Church budgets, $1,- 377.97, and Auxiliaries, $316.24. Detail on regular income follows: Presbytery Ch. 8. 8. Aux. Albemarle $ 493 1,197.68 $1,134.56 Concord 3 1,204.89 Fayetteville 2,379.35 a Granville 888.12 Kings Mountain 1,141.01 2,904.76 Mecklenburg 5,166.90 4,867.33 Orange 2,114.83 2,464i57 Wilmington 2,441.87 1,956.16 Winston-Salem 1,767.29 1,107.40 TOTALS $19,719.11 $23,282.12 $10,538.29 There were 897 organizations that had a part in the regular donations, distributed between 332 church! budgets, 299 Auxiliaries and 266 Sunday Schools. The num- ber of organizations in each Pres- bytery is as follows: Presbytery Ch. S.S. Aux. Albemarle 16 16 0) Concord 51 38 27 | Fayetteville 56 56 59 Granville 25 9 23 Kings Mountain 26 26 26 $16,175.00 In Bonds “The Regents of the Orphans’ Home, a corporation, Bariun Springs, N. C.” were the words typed on three $25.00 Series F bonds that a friend recently seni to Barium Springs and which are becoming part of the pro- posed church fund. This friend asked that his church, Moores- ville First, receive credit for the donation, but didn’t want the public to know his name. Two other bonds (denomina- tion unknown) will be coming soon, for officials have been told that these have been bought for that church,-the idea being in- stilled through reading in The Messenger that a $100.00 boad had been sent. As soon as the bonds are properly made out, they will be forwarded and will be added to the many others now on hand and which total $16,175.00 for the church of the future, The friend who sent those $75.00 in bonds read The Mes- senger, for the suggested way in which the bonds were to be made out was followed. This in- sures no difficulty in eventually redeeming them, since the name of no official is on the bond. Anyone else wanting to buy bonds for the church are urged to use the above wording and to buy the Series F, which can be owned by a corporation. Honor Roll ‘Sunday Schools Give Greatest Aggregate 111 Sunday Schools Reach New Individual Peaks.— Was 43.5% of Regular Income Sunday Schools of North Caro- lina that participated in a regu- j lar plan o supporting Barium | Springs during 1942-1945 sent | their greatest total in history to | the Home, and while so doing, 111 of the 266 Sunda: ols help- ee |ing last year established new all- time individual peaks for them- selves. | ‘The following shows the rise jin Sunday School giving over a | period of a decade, it will be seen that the 1942-1943 aggregate was $2,056.66 better than the 1941- 1942 total which stood at the top until the recently concluded year: Year Amount 1933-1934 $13,446.42 1934-1935 15,594.03 1935-1936 16,490.62 | 1936-1937 18,458.19 1937-1938 18,780.42 1938-1939 18,698.32 1939-1940 1940-1941 20,383.84 1941-1942 21,225.46 | 1942-1943 23,282.12 | It so happens that the $23,282.12 sent was 43.5% of the income from the Synod on a month-by-month 1 basis. That total does not include | any Thanksgiving Offerings, mem- | orial donations, or clothing funds, | but simply is limited to regular | suppsrt fund donations. 20,030.74 | The 111 individual Sunday | Schools going to the greatest heights were: EIGHIH MONTH First Grade—-Billie Burke, Billie!

Despite the incon- venience of travel and rationed gas, 14 of the 20 members were here for committee meetings and the board’s deliberations. Rev. 5. H. Fulton, Laurinburg, presided as president. Jos. B. Johnston, as superintend- ent, reviewed the varied activities of the Home and told about the changes being wrought in its oper- ation because of the war effort. He reported several staff members as having left, either to enter th: service or to participate in war activities, and touched upon other ways in which Barium Springs was affected. One necessity, he said, was to eliminate vacations to relatives and friends for the children because of travel condi- tions. He explained that plans were being made to offset this by local activity. The population of the Hame, he went on to report, was predomi- nantly made up of children of the grammer grades, because of re- cent large graduating classes and because of the enlistment of many of the boys in high school within lenburg; Madison in Orange; and | the past two years as they reached the age when they would be ac- | cepted. The intake of children, he that more than one Sunday School] pointed out, has been unusually ‘large recently because of the out- go. “In spite of all of the difficul- ties that we've been under,” said Mr. Johnston, “the activities pic- ture as a whole is encouraging.” He recited the achievements of ithe productive enterprises and | mentioned the he health pro- mentioned that the ealt pro gram had made a steady advance. Another year has passed without a death in the family of children, for a record of only one death in almost 17 years. He closed his re- port by mentioning the fact that over 150 of the alumni of Barium Springs were in the armed ser- vices all over the world. The report of Ernest Milton, treasurer, showed the completion of another year of debt-free oper ation, that the $109.552.90 contrib- uted by the Synod of North Caro- lina was the greatest support fund total in the past 18 vears, that the institution would be on a cash operating basis throughout all 12 months of 1943-1944, and that dur- ing the year $12,201.40 was re- ceived in legacies. This report al- so showed that $15,600 of govern- ment bonds had been purchased for a proposed new church. Barium Springs, N. C.

The November, 26, check was accompanied by t above request that has been abided by down through the years. He seemed assured that we would not publish his name and for the last several years he simply sent along the $50.00 in an envelope without any comment. Too, he wrote long, long ago and said that no acknowledgment to him ‘was necessary. Occasionally, though, we couldn’t restrain ourselves any longer and would “break over’ and write hime words of appreciation. Oftentimes we would like to have revealed who that friend was, so we had no idea of doing | m that others might rejoice with us in knowing of the individual who) so generously helped - a friend | who also liberally gave througa the regular channels of his church. | More than once some individual in his neighborhood remarked to} us that one of the greatest friends! of Barium was ——————. To this we always naively replied, “We knew somebody ‘was a good friend over there, because of the splendid donations from that church regu-| larly and at Thanksgiving-time.” Maybe this friend wouldn’t like even this comment today, but we felt impelled to make some men- tion of this in The Barium Mes- senger. During his _ lifetime he sent around $10,000.00 to the sup- port fund of the Home, in addi- tion to hundreds of other dollars for which he was responsible and which arrived through the regular channels of his church. As we write this we are Tre- minded of a statement that came} in with a contribution last fall! from a recent graduate of Barium | Springs who wrote, “There is n0| limit to the good a man can do if | he cares not who gets the credit In other words, I would rather you ry There was no urgency 1 of the terian to re- in their wil any Pr the Home bu s was done on a voluntar: ba and without any solicitation or presentation of this cause. The most recent instance of this was the bequest of $1,000.00 which ; the late Mr. Isidore Wallace, of | the Jewish faith, left to Barium Springs, along with a similar be- quest to a Jewish Home in Atlanta, Ga. Another legacy was a $1,000.- 00 sum which the late Mr. Frank Johnson, a Methodist, provided ir his will. Mr. Johnson died in Au-} gust of 1941. These men lived in close contact; with Barium Springs, they were| great admirers of the efforts that were being done in the training of boys and girls and in their prep- aration for life, and simply want-| ed, by making these provisions, to give concrete evidence of thei- personal friendship and deep ap- preciation of the job being done here. At the time of penning this, we have not received a copy of Mr. Wallace’s will, to see whether any specific provision was made as to the disposition of his $1,000.00 be- quest. If it was simply left to the judgment of the Board of Regents as to its use, then one-half of it will be placed in a reserve endow- ment for any future emergency when income might drop consider- ably, and the other one-half wiil be used for permanent improve- ments at Barium Springs. This was the decision of the Board when i* met at Barium Springs this month. In the case of Mr. Johnson, he specified that his $1,000.00 was to “he used and spent in the best nossible interest of the children at Barium Springs.” Had it not been for the war, part of his legacy was going to be used! to put iighits on the softball field, so that the ones busy working all day might have this kind of recreation at night.

The 20 who were in this grouping in 1941-1942 repeated their performance in the recently ended year. There were six other churches lacking less than $100.00 of being included. The preparation of this article annually was inspired by a request for information as to the leading churches, in a- mount contributed, within the Synod, but “making” the $1,- 000.00 classification in-no wise means that these are the leading churches on a pex capita basis. It will be found that many of the smaller churches, which couldn’t possibly give as much as $1,000.00, are far ahead of many of the ones listed below in their giving as related to membership. This can be clearly seen just in the per capita giving of the 21 churches sending as much as $1,000.00. On this basis, Concord First would be at the head of the 21, with others in the following order: Charlotte First, Salisbury First, Gastonia First, Winston-Salem First, Davidson, Bel- mont, Charlotte Second, Hickory First, Myers Park, States- ville First, Burlington First, Highland, Durham First, Rocky Mount First, Mooresville First, Fayetteville First, Laurin- burg, Wilmington First, Greensboro First, Raleigh First.

Several of our girls had whoop- ing cough, but they are all well now. We have been having fun going swimming every day. Some of us have sunburns on our backs. It surely does hurt. We have two new girls. They are sisters: Peggy and Francis Privett. We are glad to have them with us. We have 25 girls at our eottage now. We all have new bathing suits. You should have seen us in the pool with all the bright colors flashing in the sunlight. Helen Hawley, one of our girls, is in the Infirmary with earache. Helen Barnes has gone to the hospital to have her tonsils re- moved. We will be glad when she comes back. All of us had a part in the love- ly May Day last Friday evening. Some were fairies, some flowers, milk mids, farmers, May pole dancers, and the like. Our costumes were very colorful. We are going to camp June 28. We are looking forward in a big way. We will have much to tell you next time. Beans are beginning to come in. i guess we are going to be busy stringing them most of the sum- mer. —The Annie Louisers INFIRMARY Hello Folks, These are the Infirmary girls bringing you the news for the month. The whooping cough and chicken pox epidemics are over but we have plenty of upset stomachs from green apples. We didn’t write last month so here is a little late news. Several people were kind to the patients we had at Easter. A lady brought them many presents which they appreciated very much, Mr. John- ston gave the children ice cream several times and it helped them to keep up the happy spirit. We have taken in several new children to live with us here at Barium. Their names are Lucille and Ellen Holt, Clyde and Idell Andrews, Francis, Peggy, Mary Zose and Donald Privett, and Loretta Katen. Lucile Smith, one of our girls, is going to the Young Peoples Conference at Queens College, Charlotte. We are enjoying the swimming pool these hot days. It sure cools you off, Betty Joe Smith had a visit from her sister, Blanche Feimster had a visit from her mother and brother, and Jean McDonald had a visit from her sister. Three of our girls have left the Infirmary and the ones that took their places are: Betty Joe Smith, Helen Vinson and Jean McDonald. News is rationed so we will sign off. Betty Joe Smith Blanche Feimster WOMAN’S BUILDING Hello Friends, Well, here we are again bring- ine vou the highlights from our buildine’s hallway. Same of us went to see “How Green was My Vallev.” Evervone seemed to enjov it. From the flow of tears vours trulv was reminded of the Johnstown flood but it is doubtful if the aforesaid flood was pe ealtv. On» Jnne Festival went off with flvine colors. Martha Price was queen of the festival and did roy- ally. Her maid of honor was Lillie Belle Smith and we doubt if Queen Victoria, herself, had a finer court The festival portrayed a day in Sherwood Forest where the queen and her court were entertained by Robin Hood. Later the queen was crowned by her maid of honor. Miss Clark is doing double duty since Miss MeNeil has gone to Camp Carolina near Brevard. We hope she has a wonderful time, and we know she will. Our office building looks better than ever since we have new shrub- bery in front of it now. Keep smiling until next month when we bring you more news. Mae Allen Barrett! Martha Price, P. S.

They are well now. Miss Overecash has been on a long vacation but is back now. We} are glad to see her. Miss Nannie Johnson has gone} home to stay, and we are very| sorry. | We have had a few beans to, string. but it won’t be long before we will have pienty of beans to string.

They are George “Punkin” Lewis and Truckfarmer Dick Parrish. Donald Pettus has finally finish- ed the sawdust pit which he has so faithfully been looking after and attending to for the past few months, and guess what George Lewis can do: three feet!

Fred Cole and Douglas Ryder are having a little close talk about the war but we can’t tell you the subject because we may let out vital war information. One of our distinguished mem- bers, “Shoeful” Allen, left us to move to another cottage, but Jack Jones stepped up to fill his pants. Dwight Spencer has a_ flame somewhere, We don't know who it is yet, folks, but we’ll let you know in due time. The poem I’ve promised you is yet to be untangled. The verses must have got mixed up.

Some of us have had the earache, but we are well and are going back in the pool. It was not the real earache, we only had too much water in our ears. We are missing Miss Reid very much, but we also enjoy having Miss Stevenson with us. The ones who were over here last year got some new shies this week. They like them, and so do the ones who just came over. We are going to be all dressed up for Sunday. ‘ A number of our girls took part in a June festival which was given Friday evening on the footbail field. It was very pretty and we wish all our friends could have seen it. Miss MeNeil and Miss Clark were in charge of it. Miss MeNeil, our swimming in- structor, is on a two weeks’ camp- ing trip. We hope she is having a good time. We miss her very much. —Gwendolyn Landrum —Frances Adams —Ann Pope Alumni News (Continued From Page One) graduate to be married.

Down in Alabama recently a tiger escaped from a small circus and natives joined in rounding it up. Finally, having it about corner- ed in a small field, the owner paused and offered a drink to a colored man next to him. He eyed it longingly, shook his head and said, “No suh, I ain’t taking none, I'm skeered it might make me too brave!” “T see you're drinking coffee, Judge,” someone remarked to Judge Ben Lindsay on a hot sum- mer's day. “Why don’t you try something cooling? Did you ever try gin or ginger ale?” “No,” said Judge Lindsay, “but I’ve twiedl several fellows who have.” A woman whose husband had en- tered the Navy, gave her minister a note as he was mounting his pul- pit. It read, “John Anderson hav- ing gone to sea, his wife desires your prayers for his safety.” The minister in his haste read the note: “John Anderson, having gone to see his wife, desires your prayers for his safety.” D Schd Syn buti maj per fifty lott and at § as. per Sur cep unk day sup thrg Cas mo cen avg tai da int| lar| shi avq beq it th¢ evd thd an org hd 3g —a n co June 1943 THE BARIUM _ MESSENGER SUNDAY SCHOOL GIVING PER MEMBERSHIP | Page Three ° Explanation a An elderly lady RPA — y lady passed by th - : ; ‘ e : —« 1942-1943, 266 Sunday — FOR 1942 1943 YEAR | hospital bed and asked of a sie Schools in the North Caroli : elow is the per capita gi a c : whose head was ne >r cand. eens a Sarolina | gifts to the Orphé I giving of Sunday Schools in t + weds aa : »9se head was swathed in band- ec some regular contri- coxpheaagt phanage, WITH THE EXC EPTION OF THA hich have contributed re 2 .,lages, “Ar bution to the wor 3 FUNDS, duri 9 ¢ aaa Es 2 {ANKSGIVING arin butec regular or special ages, re you wounded in the najorit ne were 66 Sa the | tabulations at ¢ 1940-1941, 1941-1942 and 1942-1943.

Of course, those 182 are included here, too, but public recognition wanted to be! given all of those which had sur- passed the donations of 1941-1942. For the past two years the grand total of chapels, missions and churches participating in the regular support of the Home has numbered 546, which leaves but 1387 which could not measure up to the sums forwarded in the pre- vious year. There are more than that number of organizations in the North Carolina Synod, but if a church did not send anything for two successive years, its name will not appear on either list. This figures out to be a glorious | percentage of 74.9% for the num- ber of churches exceeding their contributions of 1941-1942, and that’s a record of which the while Synod can be proud. The combined increase for these 409 was $15,- 361.97. This is computed by adding the deficiency sum of $1,952.95 for 187 churches, plus the $13,409.02 ; increase over 1941-1942’s total, for they made up for the decreases | (Continued On Page 3, Coi. 3) Two Brothers Being Honored by $500 Gift.

Those bonds, _ plus others that could be bought by officials at Barium with memorial! contributions arriving, made the total in hand jump from $16,600.- 00 as announced in the June Mes- senger to $17,400.00 in bonds at the time of going to press with the July copy - an increase of $800.00 in bonds within the space of a little over one month. Early in July a ‘letter was re- ceived from a party, who desired that identity be withheld tem- porarily, who wanted to give a me- morial to two brothers, said me- morial to be in the form of $500.00 | in government bonds.

Letters pour back to the Home from these grad- uates in everlasting gratefulness for all that they received at Ba- rium, and for the fortification that t > received at the Home that en- ables them to meet the many temp- tations that are inevitably thrown in their paths. Their training is proving to be a bulwark in their hours of need. In the majority of instances, these men and women are a beacon light to others, and exhibit moral character and courage that bring a great element of thankfulness to the hearts of those still here who have had a part in fashioning their ’ | and in preparing them fer just such a time as this. We feel here that there are going to be nany more Christians through the influence of our alumni, and there's going to be a far greater admira- tion in the hearts of thousands up- on thousands of people for a Home such as is operated here, and for similiar Homes in existence. The prayers of people through- out the Synod of North Carolina followed these boys and_ girls through their tender ages at Ba- rium Springs, and a solicitation is made for a continuation of those prayers for these children, as we still think of them, in the im- mediate tasks that lie ahead. The boys and girls write back and ask us repeatedly to pray for them. One of them, who has been through some close experiences, wrote back that he felt that “there was an imbrella of prayers” over him. He ad seen his comrades and _ his friends fall in battle, but in some iraculous way he had escaped in- ury We are so glad that most of them have come through success- fully so far. Two are known to be prisoners of the Japanese, two have been reported missing, and one has been wounded. There is an earnest hope that the missing ones will later be reported as safe and sound, and there is the further hope that no other bad news is go- ing to be received here.

STULTZ COTTAGE Hello Folks, Our family is so small these camp days that news is bound to be small, too. The three of us left here, though, feel mighty big with the whole cottage to ourselves, ex- cept for “Cap” Jackins and _his ‘family. It is so quiet around here that we can almost hear ourselves think. In all four Quads there are only 19 boys this week. In ours, |Stanley Smith, John Ammons and | Bill Tyce are holding down the fort. Paul Burney, Leland Rogers, Bennett Baldwin, Paul Reid, Herby | MicMasters and Earl Adams are at lcamp, and from all reports they jare having a swell time. The rain ‘doesn’t bother us, you know, when we are at camp. Leland Rogers’ mother is visit- ing him for a few days. And we are all glad for him. Guess who is at home in old Stultz this week? None other than one of our sailor boys, Marshall Norris. He looks mighty happy to be at home, but he’s no happier than we are to have him. He fin- ‘ished here this last school year. He has gained weight and looks like a real man now. He brings us news of the many other boys we have at Bainbridge, Md. The swimming pool, as well as ithe campus, looks lonely these |weeks, but let me tell you we are still thankful for those lights. It ‘means a lot to jump in and cool off after a hard day’s work. We sleep better and eat better, and of |course we are trying to gain weight |and get tough for football this fall. ; Mrs. Jackins had a nice vaca- tion, and-is back. We were glad to see her, because we always have buttons to sew on and socks with jholes to be mended. Cap and his | wife go to St. Pauls next week for | two weeks. Dick Parrish will be our boss those two weeks. Good-bye and we’ll see you next month. —Your Stultz Reporter { SYNOD’S COTTAGE ‘Dear Friends: | David Thomas and Billy Hardin | have come to live with us.

When we got back from camp ‘we had a big surprise upstairs. Mr. \Ervin had the floors sanded and jall polished up. They certainly are | pretty, We went to the show to see “The Human Comedy”. It certainly was good. Miss Taylor and Mary Ann DEATHS Alee Franklin Maples The sad news was received at Barium Springs this month that Alee Franklin Maples, 15, had been fatally injured when hit by an automobile in Wilmington. No de- tails of the accident were available at the time of going to press with The Messenger. The funeral was held on Tuesday, July 20th, at Cul- dee Presbyterian Church, near Vest End. Alec spent almost a year in the Home at Barium Springs, leaving here in the spring of 1939. A brother and _ sister, Buddy and Dorothy Maples, are members of the family at Barium Springs now. MARRIAGES Cranfill-Weeks Another romance that started on the campus at Barium Springs has culminated in a marriage cere- mony, for Ruth Virginia Cranfill, of Charlotte, and Jack Weeks, of Gastonia and Bainbridge, Md., were married at the home of Mrs. Dorothy Weeks Ward, sister of the bridegroom, on June 28th. Jack was on leave after complet- ing his first seven weeks of train- ing. He has returned to Bain- bridge, Md. and Mrs. Weeks con- tinues to work in Charlotte. Vir- ginia and Jack were graduates of the class of 1942. Linsday-Bowenkelman Tommy Linsday and Miss Pa- tricia Bowenkelman, both of Balti- more, Md. were married in Mount Saint Joe’s Monastery in Balti- more on May 22nd. This was re- vealed by Tommy on a visit to Ba- rium recently. Tommy is not a graduate of Barium but spent a good many years here, and has been an unusually frequent visitor to the campus. He had worked with Montgomery-Ward, but ‘more recently was with the Horton Motor Lines. He was expecting to be accepted into the services a few days after his visit to Barium early this month. Mr. and Mrs. Linsday’s Baltimore address is 324 Martingale. Sanders-Hutten Second Lieutenant Mary Eliza- beth Sanders, of the Army Nurs- ing Corps, and Lieutenant John Hutton, of Long Island, N. Y. and the U. S. Army, were married in Saint Mary’s Catholic Chureh in Wilmington on July 10th. Mary Elizabeth went into nurses’ train- ing after leaving Barium. finished the course, did private nursing for some time and more recently has been stationed at Camp Davis, N. C., where Lieut. Hutton is also located. Lieut. and Mrs. Hutton are now living at Camp Davis. Mary Elizabeth told us of the im- pending marriage in a letter that reached Barium on the morning of the day she was to be married. BIRTHS Ensign and Mrs. Joe M. White announce the birth of a son, Jos- eph Michael, Jr., on June 17th at Pensacola Hospital, Pensacola, Fla. “Joe Mike”, as he is known to all, and Mrs. White live at 266 Moreno Court, Warrington, Fla. Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Early, 3724 Echodale Ave., Baltimore, Md. an- nounce the birth of a daughter, Cheryl Darlene, on March 26th. Mrs. Early is the former Margaret Hendrix. New Recruits Since the June issue of The Mes- senger, the following have either gone into the services or a notice has been received that they were already in: George Lewis in the Marines; David Burney in the Navy; Forrest Hunt, Tommy Lins- day, Clyde May and Dallas Wil- liams in the Army; Marjorie Lail in the WACs, and Mrs. Nellie John- son Summers in the Auxiliary of the Marines. Promotions Some of the promotions that (Continued On Page 3, Col. 1) are at the camp this week. We are enjoying having Mary Adams, as our matron, We went on a nice long walk the other day after supper. We went to the spring and played for a while and on our way back we stopped by to see Mr. Johnston. We watched the goldfish in the pool and the birds go to bed. We had a very nice time, Donnie Campbell, Frankie Smith, Archie MeMannon, and Billy Burke all had visits from relatives and friends. —Synod’s Boys b is s 1 a s E h h a oe , a © ie PA ee s- hn nd in ry in- ied for 1as N. lso con ris. m- iat of hat We ums ralk We for ton. the ‘ith, irke and joys July 1943 Alumni News (Continued From Page Two) have recently occurred include Dalma Jessup to Staff Sergeant; Alexander Edwards to Sergeant; James Shepherd to seaman first class, and Arthur Sigmon, Howard Beshears and Elwood Carter to seaman second class. Don Bolton and Paul Horne are among those now wearing sharpshooter medals. Addresses Unknown Some of the unknown addresses listed in last month’s Messenger have been supplied, and the pres- ent roster of boys known to be in the services but whose addresses are not available are John Black-' man, John L. Cumbie, Winfred Hall, Nelson Hesse, Howard Hol- land, Hayden Justice, J. B. Lee, Ed. Monroe, Danielle Salviaggio and Clifton Vann, Can anybody supply these? PERSONALS One of the most gratifying ex- periences is to see the manner in which the girls and boys like to return to their old home at Barium Springs for visits. Most of them, when they have a leave, furlough, holiday or vacation, make a bee- line fog Barium. Those here within the last month included Wallace Twombley, Roscoe Twombley, Dor- othy Gibbs, Bryson Stinson, El- wood Carter, Julius Kinard, Rich- ard Shoaf, Billy McCall, Margaret Presnell, Tommy Linsday, Mar- shall Norris, Paul Horne, Pleas Norman, Lester King, David Spen- cer, Mott Price, Marjorie Lail and Mrs. Nellie Johnson Summers. These visitors came from North Carolina, South Carolina, Mary- land, Texas, Nevada, Wisconsin, | Pennsylvania and Mississippi. The Boys’ Bible Class at Barium Springs is going to have one of; the greatest totals for 1943-1944 in the history of the Class, for so many of the former members now in the services are sending back gifts to it, and many on visits to Jarium either make excellent of- | ferings or leave money for the Class if they cannot remain for a Sunday service. More than $35.00 has been sent in already. Too, more than a half-dozen of the bovs and girls who have not yet moved their church letter from Little Joe’s make their regular contri- butions to the church here. All graduates are urged to write for their letters when definitely locat- ed, but the very large number in the services are leaving their let- ters here until after the war. Several interesting communi- cations have recently been received from Mrs. Annie Blue Southard, 211 E. Greene St., High Point, who was the first Barium graduate to be married in Little Joe’s Church. Her marriage to the late Mr. Southard took place on May 23, and as a result he received a/| prompt promotion from captain to Major on the field of battle. All| told, there were nine officers pro- moted that day and the War De- partment’s words regarding them read, “These officers demonstrated their ability to lead troops in ac tual battle.” Regarding Major Fort, the de- partment said that he displayed un- | | usual energy and initiative by or-| ganizing a task force from a group | of technicians and airplane mech- | anics and with these cleared out an infested area of sniper detach- ments behind American lines in the | Fort Lyautey area immediately | following the landing in Africa Lieut. Barnhill was graduated from Appalachian Teachers College | after graduating from Barium, and Major Fort is a graduate of David- son College. Major Fort received R. O. T. C. training at Davidson. 137 Churches Showed (Continued From Page One) Newell : ae —_ 88.01) Badin eo Myers Park _..........-. ----------- 68.64 teynolda : . 61,97 1 Johnson Memorial .........-....-- 40.90 Howard Memorial ................ 37.33 | Westminster (M) . 2) Beet Godwin .........------- peewee 29.24 | I are sia od inte 28.75 | Charlotte Second ..............------ 27.23 | BeNROTO a cc...-2-- on-s swtices DOG ‘Bethany (0) ..............--- 23.25 |Waughitown ............--.- ..-. 23.25 | PMS ccccsee sean Ss Bae Roanoke Rapids ......... -.-.---- 21.46 Morganton ......... : wiciseidis SO ChingUapiM | ...-54...-... -=- 2 4180S Quaker Meadows __ ........ is Se Westminster (O) .............. 16.93 | PE 2 oe Sy capiles 16.52 ‘Bayless Memorial .... 16.86 | | Pineville BS eee ong: a | Smithfield -.... hes oo Haywood erento 14.56 Buic’s Creek. .......... 13.18 | Pleasant Grove .. 13.08 | Matthews .......... : .... 12.69!

She told us that she was the mother of a little girl (see births) and she gave us the ad- dress of her brother, Roy Hendrix, which we announced we needed in last month’s Messenger. .We don’t know how long Margaret has been in Baltimore, but she told of | working at Montgomery-Ward for over a year after going to that city. She lives at 38724 Echodale Ave. Barium Boys Cited (Continued From Page One) the Marauder throughout the run, which was so effective that 20 parked aircraft were destroyed and many fires started.

Thomas Morgan Is Missing (Continued From Page One) will later be received by his family. This white-haired attractive fellow did not graduate from Ba- rium Springs, but spent several years here as a member of the family, leaving here when com- paratively small. However, he made a great impression upon the workers and they all remembered him and were saddened when this news was received at Barium Springs. Thomas would have been 20 years of age on July 2nd. Had he remained at Barium until he was graduated he would have fin- ished in 1941, Of the 168 boys and girls in the services, this now makes two that are missing in action, Thomas and Ben Morrow. The latter was on Bataan and no word has been re- ceived that he is a prisoner of the | Japs. Two alumni are in the hands |of the Japanese, these being J. D. |Beshears and Roy Wilkes.

School classes, avoiding the current necessity of using the two school buildings on opposite ends of the campus for Sunday Schoecl purposes. As this fund continues to grow it is felt that a good many indi- viduals are going to want to honor loved ones whom God has claimed a good many years ago, and thus the total’ in bonds is expected to climb rapidly. Such a_ tendency’ has been shown in recent months as special gifts have been reveal- ed in this paper, and public an- nouncement will be made of others as fast as they arrive. Synod Showed Increase (Continued From Page One) of writing this article, the trend in the July giving was such as to warrant this prediction All but nine of the Presbyteries have participaied in the increase Orange Presbytery is the single exception that has failed to go beyond the total arriving by June 30, 1942, the decrease for this Presbytery being $164.68. It means that the other eight have a com- bined advance of $2,614.65, dis- tributed among them as follows: Fayetteville, $719.06; Kings Moun- | tain, $534.02; Mecklenburg, $545.61; Granville, $315.86; Concord, $260.- 68; Albemarle, $209.30; Wilming- ton, $155.50, and Winston-Salem, $74.62. There was a big shakeup in the | standing of the Presbyteries last ‘month, but Kings Mountain and | Winston-Salem held on to their 'respective one-two positions in the Synod. The top average was 15 |cents per member for Kings Moun- | tain to a low of 6.8 cents per mem- ber for Orange Presbytery. In be- tween were the other seven Pres- byteries with per capita sums as follows: Am’‘t Re- Total Per ceived Per Mem for Presbytery June Repts. Mem.

The increase from this avenue of giv- ing was $1,098.83; Sunday Schools had sent $981.11 more, and Aux- iliaries had shown a gain of $370.- 08. Those figures make up the $2,449.97. j Of the grand total in hand, {Sunday Schools had been re- sponsible for 50.49% of it, or $4,- 720.97; Church budgets 32.3%, o1 1 $3,005.56, and Auxiliaries 17.3%, lor $1,615.00.

When one boy re turned home his mother was enter taining callers. “Well, my boy,” said one of the callers, “did you get a prize?” “No,” replied the boy, “but I got jena mention.” “T want,” said the house-hunter “a house in an isolated position at least five miles from any other house.” “IT see,” said the hou iment, i“you want to practice the simple | life?” | “No,” answered the house-hunter |grimlye “I want to practice the saxophone.” | | “What is ignorance 2” asked | Johnny's teacher. “Tt’s when you don’t know some thing and somebody finds it out,” i'came the immediate reply.

Garth, of Charlotte BY REV> J. G. GARTH, D. D., Publicity Clerk of Synod. The Synod met at Red Springs in Flora Macdonald College Sept. 7-9 and was opened with the ser- mon of retiring moderator Rev. J. O. Mann, whose theme was “God’s Plow and its Deep Furrows”. Mr, Mann declared God was chastising Christendom for its pride, its false sense of values, its unbelief and disregard of God. Since this divine dispensation has occurred the world lies fallow and ready for a new sowing of the gospel seed. He} spoke of the revival of religion a-| mong soldiers, quoting his son’s letter from Sicily, and urged true penitence, new understanding of issues, a sense of crisis, and a per- | sonal commitment to the cause of Christ. W. E. Price, layman of Char- lotte, was unanimously elected moderator. Mr. Price is chairman emeritus of the Superintendents’ Conference of Montreat and a member of the Religious Educa- tion Committee of the Assembly.

This was a proviso in the in- vitation which Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent, made in inviting Synod for next year. Mr. Johnston stated that he did not want any place to feel that Barium Springs was having Synod oftener than it should. When the time came for extend- ing invitations for Synod to meet, there was none extended and it was then that Mr. Johnston consulted with some of the regents and in- vited Synod to come here again, after having entertained them in|| the necessary $18.50 for the 941.

Unity Sunday School in Kings Mountain Presbytery has noti- fied officals of Barium Springs that it is purchasing a $25.06 Series F government bond to send to Barium Springs for the proposed new church, and that the bond will be given jin ho- nor of the boys of that Sunday School now in the various ser- vices and in memory of any who have been called upon to make the supreme sacrifice. This is the first time that an organization has bought a bond for the Church, and the thought behind the purchase is especial- Iy commendable. It was stated thiat not every boy of the com- munity had been a member of the Sunday School at Unity, but that they had attended the se- cular schools there. This made no difference to them, though, for they wanted aH the boys honored by this purchase.

A gift arrived for Sep- tember and the treasurer stated that these would be coming regularly in the future. Bayless Memorial Auxiliary in Concord Presbytery has sen $12.00 for 1943-1944, but the treasurer stated that they ex pected to duplicate this before the year was over, to give them & $1.00 per-month-per-Circle That will mean, if carried out a 100% increase in regular giv ing for that Auxiliary. Information was received at Barium §& Springs last mont that the Kannapolis First Aux. iliary in Concord Presbyter? had adopted the $1.00-per- month-per-Circle plan, this be. ing disclosed when a check for $7.00 was received for one month from the seven Circles, The Business Girl’s Circle of the Mallard Creek Auxiliary in Mecklenburg Presbytery has i- creased its pledge 50% for 1943-1944. Others like revelations ‘will be made in The Messenger from month to month, when such a happy disclosure is possible. Whereabouts of 1943 Class Is Recounted Uncle Sam a Most of the Boys.— Detail Is Given on Other Members It isn’t difficult to locate the members of the last graduating class - Uncle Sam claimed the ser- vices of so many of them that most of them are now busy going to school for him. Joe Long, the president of the class, who wanted very much to g0 to colleege, is now at college; he is in the air corps and has been sent to West Texas State at Can- yon, Texas. Donald Bolton is in the infantry at Fort Benning, Ga. Right now Donny has his mind on Barium football since he was last year’s captain, and when our boys were getting ready to go into their first game last Friday night, there was a letter from Donny giving them the necessary boost to put up 4 grand game- Marshall Norris is in the Navy. He took his boot training at Bain- bridge and is now headed for the Pacifie coast. James Stafford is at Fort Ben- ning and to hear him tell it, he is having as many trying experiences as “Private Hargrove”. Maybe he’ll write a book before this thing is over; his letters are most in- teresting, especially since Jimmy doesn’t mind telling jokes on him- (Continued On Page Three) Money Is Received | For Another Cottage ‘ | Bequest Previously Announced Is Paid By Executors.- Money In Hand for Three It was announced in The Messen- ger some months ago that the late Mrs. Carrie Banks Holt Mebane, of Washington, D. C. had _ be- queathed the sum of $106,000.06 to Barium Springs for the purpose of “constructing a building at the said Orphanage, to be used by the smaller or younger children of said jinstitution and to be known as the James Kerr Mebane Cottage.” The individual honored by this sum was Mrs. Mebane’s husband. During September this legacy }was paid in the Home here by the executers of the estate, thougn the amount received was $9,550.00, instead of $10,000.00, due to in- heritance taxes in the District of Columbia where Mrs. Mebane maintained her residence, The Dis- trict allows but a $1,000.00 exemp- tion, and thus $9,000.00 of the be- quest was subject to a 5% inheri- tance tax, Which was $450.00.

Dr. Gwyn who was speak- for D L. C. Lamotte, the junior colleges in great demand after Dr. Gwyn spoke of the progress of Bible teaching in public schools with 98 communities engaged in it in the state. Religious -Education has had a large program of conferences, camps, training schools, and exten- sion work. W. E. Price has offered $100 a month to support an exten- sion worker and Miss Margaret Sells, returned missionary from China, will serve. The budget of this committee is $12,600. The Synod adopted the new di- vision of work of Christian Edu- cation, as suggested by the Edu- cational Association: Into Educa- tional Institutions, Student work, and Ministerial Support and Can- didates. Another suggestion by the Educationkl Association meeting in Montreat in July that all colleg- es be asked to make their directors controlled by synods instead of presbyteries carried by two votes. Synod also established the office of director of educational institu- tions, but left the committee the duty of selecting the director. All colleges reported full attendance. Flora Macdonald will celebrate 50 years of service in 1946. Synod overtured the assembly to lay greater stress on Negro ministerial education. Orphans Home reported 289 children in the Home. Mr. J. B. Johnston, superintendent, said 180 boys and girls, alumni of Barium Springs, are in the armed service, and he gets 100 leters a month from them - Synod’s support of this school was its greatest in his- tory. Plans for a new church build- ing with Sunday School facilities are on foot. Synod will meet at Barium next year. Work among soldiers shows nine women and five ministers at work in communities near the mil- itary posts. Synod spent $23,947 in this work, and set $30,000 as the quota asked of churches. Mo- ther’s Day is the day for collect- ions for soldier work. The churches raised $15,388 last May. North Carolina Synod has merg- ed its work with the assembly and Dr. H. B. Lacy, assembly’s chair- man, spoke to the synod. There are ten military posts in the state. Rev. M. O Sommers, secretary of assembly’s committee on Evan- gelism reported that 2,728 persons were converted last year, about one for every 33 members. He re- ported that the assembly has ap- portioned $10,000 for this cause to support a field worker. The synod supports workers in all the state colleges and Duke University at a cost of $45,000.

Christ demands love our enemies. Synod instru the stated clerk to publish the two addresses: Dr. J. R. Cunningham conducted a forum on “The Church and the Negro”. He said the Negroes form ten per cent of the population of the United States and deserve citizens’ rights. He said 175,000 Negroes own their homes’ with ten million acres of land, while $7,000,000 is spent for their educa- tion. He recommended using in- terracial units in handling prob- lems. Rev. E. J. Arnold, secretary of N. C. Council of Churches and also of the Interracial Committee pointed out the unrest of Negroes and urged recognition of their rights. Rev. Carl Pritchett said Negroes are beginning to doubt the sincerity of white people’s relig- ious professions: Dr. B. R. Lacy said Union and Louisville Seminaries are ready to unite on the basis of consolidation of all properties in Richmond, with) the Northern Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky having one third of trustees. The law of Vir- ginia will not allow the combina- tion and a change will be asked of the state legislature next Jan- uary. Then the proposal will be brought to the controlling synods. The purpose is to make a strong seminary adequate for graduate and undergraduate work and for extension courses. Synod heard Mrs. E. C. Heins, president of Woman’s Synodical Auxiliary, tell of their work. They have 31,865 members and raised $242,048 for all causes-, conducted a Negro Women’s conference with 160 attending, had given to White Cross Work in Stillman hospital and in Africa, and support Bible. instruction in public schools. The auxiliary meets in High Point October 19-20. Dr. H. W. Myers, missionary in Japan 45 years. told of his prison experience in Tokyo after Pearl Harbor for six months and how he supported himself by prayer, Bible recitation and memorizing 20 chap- ters in the Bible. He spoke hope- fully of Christianity in Japan and expects missionaries to return and open new fields after militarism is crushed. Rev. J. A. Jones, D.

Her ‘first husband was a millionaire, the next a movie pro- ducer, then a doctor, and last an undertaker. Her reason for marry- ing in such order was: one for the money, two for the shlow, three to get ready, and four to go. known as Father of all men, and to show man the way out of sin by the same sacrificial life as Christ’s.

We have had many good times in swimming and camping for. our physical education. Miss MeNeill takes us in swimming. The following girls have had visits from their people: Clara, Mangum’s mother and_ brother, Essie Jean Lee’s mother, Ellen Holt’s father and some others, and Louise Campbell's grandmother and sister. We have started hiaving apples. They sure do taste good. We have a new girl. She is Mary Lee Jordon. School has started and we like it- We have a new substitute ma- tron. She is Miss Burns.

The official registration was 356 min- isters and elders, and this did not include special visiting speakers who were invited for those po sions. All told, in the neighbor- hood of 400 people visited the Home sometime during the 1941 meeting. It so happened, too, that the 0c- | casion of the last meeting at Ba- rium was the semi-centennial cele- bration for the Home, and the out- standing attendance record helped in the celebration of that impor- tant milestone here. Whether 356 can attend in 1944 largely depends upon conditions existing at that time. Barium will not be celebrat- ing any particular event, but of- ficials would like for a new at- tendance record to be set next fall. As in 1941, the Home will be responsible for all of Synod. A few years before, Barium Springs and the First Church in States- ville jointly entertained the body, but the 1941 experience shows that:it can be handled locally. Many friends in this section help, though, by inviting their special friends to be their guests. It takes long-time planning when so many extra people are here for several days, and already the cogs are being set in motion so that a well-functioning machine will be ready to take care of the ministers and elders in 1944. If some other invitation does come to Synod, there would be no lost — if plans had to be altered ere. “There’s no need for you to shout, said the dentist. “I haven’t touched your tooth yet.” “No,” said the patient, “but you are standing on my corn.” Farmer: “Man! You must be brave to come down in a parachute in a hundred-mile gale like this.” Stranger: “I didn’t come down in a parachute. I went up with a tent.” . Father: “Tt must be time to get up. Mother: “Why, dear?” Father: “The baby has just fal- - work, all for one year. len asleep.” Page Two Thanksgiving Plans (Continued From Page One) time. No public mention had been made of the type of publicity for 1943 for the main reason that of- ficials did not want the alumni of the Home to know of the plans, “Pride and Appreciation of Alum. ni” is simply a series of quota- tions taken from letters of boys and girls to Barium Springs with- out their knowledge. These for- mer residents wrote from hearts of appreciation voluntarily and not a word used in all of the quo- tations was inspired. Had it been publicly known that this was be- ing done, some of the alumni might have written statements. Authorities were anxious that the alumni be unaware of the plans. This should be a booklet to fil} the hearts of Presbyterians with pride that they have been helping in the support of a place which the boys and girls love so much and for which they frequently get homesick. If the children who are nurtured and cared for here mani- fest a proudness of their home, it is felt that the kind of place is being operated of which the sup- porters can likewise be proud. In addition to these local publi-- ity preparations, Synod’s perman- ent committee on Orphanage work will soon start functioning in lining up local committees in every church in the Synod. This is headed by J. Archie Cannon, of Concord, who has been general chairman ever since the organization of a special committee which later be- came a permanent one at Synod’s direction. Each Presbytery has a chairman. As soon as local com- mittees are obtained, their names are furnished to Mr. Cannon. He gets in touch with them and the literature from Barium is sent di- rect to the committee members. These local committees are del- egated with the task of seeing that every member of their church has a chance to contribute, whether they attend the Thanksgiving ser- vices or not, and whether they are within the state during the Thanksgiving period. To this cen- tral committee of Synod goes much of the credit for the success that has attended the Thanksgiving ef- forts in recent years. The Thanksgiving response of $56,013.38 in 1942 was the great- est in the history of the Home, and officials at Barium and members of all committees - Synod, Pres- bytery and local - will work to ward the establishment of a new all-time peak in the approaching Thanksgiving season of 1943. Money Is Received (Continued From Page One) future. This is the third sum for a pro- posed six-cottage children’s village that will some day be constructed at Barium Springs, for a $7,000.00 sum was anonymously contributed to the Home several years ago and Mr. Ralph! S. Robinson, of Gaston- ia, gave $10,000.00 for another one of the cottages in memory of his uncle and in honor of his aunt. Thus, $26,550.00 is in hand _ for these three buildings, and most of that money has been temporar- ily placed in government securi- ties. It is believed at Barium Springs that when the time arrives for building this little village to house boys and girls under ten years of age that all of the necessary money for the entire project will be in hand. It is planned to have a sepa- rate dining room for these tiny children, and the six buildings to comprise the village will vary in cost from $7,000.00 to $10,000.00. Some of the cottages will be small- er than others and some larger, depending upon the use planned for them. _ Mrs. Mebane made her provis- ion for this building in her will which was written in 1940, for she had read of the proposed pro- ject and had personally told offi- cials that if she didn’t build this cottage during her lifetime that a sufficient sum would be made available in her estate- Mrs. Me- bane died in January, 1942, and when her last will and testament was probated she had carried out her intentions. 2 Junior: “Say, mother, how much am I worth?” Mother: “Why, you are worth a million dollars to me, dear.” Junior: “Well, then, could you advance me a quarter?” » || ~ pa @— - 4 +6 Jo AN AH 2s t Oe A pm RS nm da e & in t m= & ia t i ik ia t at a a al al l ia l i, a ee ae ae =, ee ee ni ro- ige ted ).00 ted ind on- one his int. for ost ‘ar- ari- ngs for use | of ney in pa- iny | to | in .00. all- rer, ned vis- will for pTO- ffi - this that ade Me- and 1ent out uch th a you September 1943 Another Increase by Synod in August Gain In Five Months Is $3,- 069.18— May Be More Af- ter September 30th The Synod of North Carolina showeji a $43.02 increase in its regular giving to the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home during the month of August, to give a five-month advance of $3,069.18. The gain in August was not as great as those which have been observed in pre- vious months, but it was an in- crease nevertheless and was thus| responsible for further cation at Barium Springs. Every main source of receipts has participated in the $3,069.18 increase. The Church budgets hiave sent $1,602.24 more; from the Sunday Schools has arrived an ad- ditiong] $1,387.33, and the Auxil- iaries have given $79.61 more - all increases over the sums in hand on August 31, 1942. While it is largely a matter of conjecture, yet there might be an- other increase during the month of September. This will depend upon the donations that arrive during gratifi- the last week. Gifts in the early], part of the month were splendid ones, and on a comparative basis of days, Synod was ahead of last September. The arrangements of the Pres- byteries on the basis of what had been contributed in relationship to membership is as follows: Presbytery * ** eee W.-Salem $265.50 5.3c 27.6c Kings Mountain 303.26, 4.6c 23.2¢ Mecklenburg 967.05 5 ec 22.2¢ Concord 442.36 .8.8c 21 ¢ Albemarle 169.95 3.2¢c 17.8¢ Wilmington 393.05 4 ec 16.5c Favetteville 191.55 1.4c 14.9¢ Orange 661.63 4.7e 14.3¢ Granville 249.64 3.6c 13.3c SYNOD $3,643.99 3.9¢ 18.7¢ *Aucust Receipts; ** Amount Re- ceived Per Member; ***Total Per Member for Year.

Lillie Bryant, another member of the class of ’43, is working here at Barium. She is assistant matron at the Baby Cottage and is doing a good job- Anytime you 43 graduates return, you will have Willie Stinson and Lillie Bryant ta welcome you. Bertha Broome almost estab- lished a record. She is married. She is Mrs. John B. Kirkpatrick. Her husband is in the service and add to the orginal $100.00 that j they planned to give and have r |quested that this donation be used \for a window in the proposed new church when it is built, Officials informed the group that they woul gladly make this change, but .| were unable to give them an idea of th cost of windows in the new church, since no architect’s plans have been drawn for it. | Since this change has_ been made, it leaves two $100.00 win- dows and two to cost $375.00 each to be given for the present Lit- tle Joe’s Church building. Money is in hand for two that will en- tail an outlay of $100.00 each. Bertha is working in Charlotte. Evelyn Coppedge and May Lynn Jones are both working in Wash- ington, D- C. They made applica- tions for work with the F. B. I. and they are making good. Lillian Sanders is taking training at the Memorial Hospital, Char- lotte. Marie Morgan is working for the Pilot Life Insurance Company in Greensboro. Janie Smith is working in Salis- bury, living with her sister, Mrs. Marie Smith Mills- Juanita McMasters is the only one that we haven’t heard directly |from, but she is in Greensboro. We just don't know exactly what she is doing. That calls the roll. In addition to those already mentioned, we have had_ visits from Janie Smith, Marie Morgan, Lillian Sanders and Mrs. Bertha Broom Kirkpatrick, and frequent letters from Evelyn Coppedge and May Lynn Jones. “T am at your service, ma’am,” the burglar said when the lady of the house caught him stealing her silver. Old Gentleman: “You’re an hon- est lad, but it was a ten doller bill, not ten ones.” Small Boy: “I know, mister, it was a ten doller bill I picked up. But the last time I found one, the man who owned it didn’t have any change.” “Now that we are all sacrificing for the war, do you think women will go back to making their own bread?” “Not so long as her man can still raise the dough in the hour of knead.” $100.00 S.S.Club || ist, 20 Sunday | Through August Schools in Nort irolina Synod | had sent as muc! $100.00 in | regular donatior to Barium} Springs. Since t were 16 at| the close of July, this means that} Mooresville First, Trinity Avenue, | Huntersville and Monroe have} joined the others in attaining this | goal at the close of fifth month of 1943-1944. In the August Messenger it was | Concord Piet .... stated that 16 Sunday Schools | were in the Club, but in the list-| ing, the name of Rocky Mount} First was omitted through error. }That Sunday School was already jin the Club in one-third of the year. During the month of Septem- ber, a good ny other Sunday Schools enteré his grouping, and lif space permits next month, a revised list v be prepared at |the halfway point of the current year.

Af-| ter being commissiongd he was | mustered to the southwest Pacific | area in October, 1941, in which territory he has been actively en- gaged for some time. Another son of Mr. and Mrs. Lowrance, First Lieut. Wilson W. Lowrance, is connected with 4 hospital at El Paso, Texas, and a son-in-law, Major Bruce Parcell, is in chlarge of an airfield at Clear- water, Fla. The missing lieutenant is one of 175 alumni of the Barium Springs | High School in the services. One, ; Lieut. Paul Pittman, recently died in a Texas hospital; three have been reported missing in ac- tion, and two are prisoners of the Japs. She: “I have a confession to make, dear.

THIRD ROW, 3ennie Gregory, Jack Land Donated For Part of Church Site More Than Acre and a_ Half Which Will Be “Front Yard” of Church Is Given Mr. Dan S- Lippard, Mrs. Etta Lippard Porter, and the latter’s| daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Por-| ter Yount, are giving to Barium | Springs more than an acre and a| half of land in memory of the | late Mr. W. H. and Mrs. Margaret | Goodman Lippard. Those aoe lives are being memorialized are | pard and Mrs. Porter and the) ‘grandmother and grandfather of; Mrs. Yount. | | This land is located just beyond | lthe grammar_ school building, | 1 |where it is planned to place the) !new church when it is constructed, land it is immediately in front of the spot where it is expected that the church will be built. Thus, this valuable donation will really constitute the “front yard” or en- trance to the building. If these friends and neighbors of Barium Springs had not been good enough to give this land in memory of these loved ones, it would have been necessary to build the church further back on land owned at the present time by the Home, but the giving of this plot will now make it possible to build the church on a site that will conform to the layout of the buildings here. It was a generous gift and officials at Barium are | exuberant that these friends have} come forward ard offered this | particular property to the Home. | Last February, Mr: Lippard and Mrs. Porter, who are the survivors in a family of seven children, were | in the office at Barium to give a| a sum in memory of their five | brothers and sisters. At the time they inquired as to the place plan- ned for the church and it was re-| vealed that the spot was immedia- | tely behind the land which they owned. They revealed that they had been thinking of giving this to the Home. In September they visit- ed the office again, made a defi- nite commitment and inquired as to the best way to deed the proper- ty. This information was given and the deed is now in the pro- cess of being prepared. Not only will this land be of especial value to the church, but jt helps straighten out the lines of | | state highway constructed the fence around the campus, they had to veer to the right when they came to the grammar school build- ing, since the Home did not own the plot that would have enabled| them to finish the fence in 4) straight line- | The land being’ deeded to Ba- rium Springs fronts approximately | 425 feet on U. S. highway No. 21, runs around 215 feet om the old Statesville highway “that passes Little Joe’s cemetery, is 67 feet on the opposite end and is about 440 feet on the back side. | Bonds for Church. Are Now $20,000 Special Sums and Individual Bonds Sent in September Rais- es Bond Total for Church During the latter part of Sep- tember the government war bonds in the possession of the Presby- terian Orphans’ Home for a pro- posed new church here climbed to a sum slightly in excess of $20,- 000-00, which was an increase of $700.00 in the amount of bonds as announced in the August issue of the paper. All memorial dona- tions received had been placed in such securities, and then there |were some special contributions for the church. Mrs. Bonnie Austin Petteway, of Charlotte, sent a $25.00 Series F war bond in memory of her father and mother, the late Dr. James Aaron Austin and Mrs. Sarah Wilma Duncan Austin- Dr. Austin died on December 14, 1924 and Mrs. Austin was claimed on June 21, 1941. An unknown friend forwarded a $25.00 Series F war bond to Ba- rium Springs through the Char- llotte branch of the Federal Re- serve Bank of Richmond. The name of the donor was not reveal- ed when the bond was sent, though this information may possibly be known later. A friend in the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Charlotte sent a $75.00 check to be used for a war bond. It was explained that this was a little more than the sum necessary for the Series F bonds that the Home is purchasing, for these are bonds to mature in 12 years and are bought for $74-00. In the case of the two bonds sent, the donors had read in The Barium Messenger that these should be made out to “The Re- gents of the Orphans’ Home, a corporation, Barium Springs, N. Cc.” for the two bonds were proper- ly prepared. Corporations cannot buy the “E” bonds, but “F” and “G” securities are available. The “F” series is preferred, since all lthe mother and father of Mr- Lip-! interest accruing on the bonds be- comes a part of the principal by an action of the Board of Regents at its meeting here last May. As other bonds or money is sent to Barium Springs they-will be announced in The Massenger, and as readers look over the list of donations in memory of individuals and loved ones they can know that all of those funds, too, are going to be used in the needed church building. Correction In = August issue of The Ba. rium Messenger it was state; Mrs. R. A. Morrison was the = matron at Rumple Hall. This was an error. It should have read “Mrs R- A. Thompson”. Miss Margaret Morrison is one of the five new teachers in the school system, and in writing ar- ticles consecutively for last month’s paper on both the new faculty and staff members, this error in Mrs. Thompson’s name inadvertently crept in. The correction is gladly made. 5 So, if anyone wants to communi- cate with the matron at Rumple Hall, the mail can be addressed to Mrs. R. A. Thompson. “Hey! Sit down in front.” “ : : * Quit yer kidding, I don’t bend that way.” When we used to hear “One and two and, three and,” it meant that junior was practicing his piano | lesson: Now it means that mamma jis trying to plan a meal under the point rationing system. “ Tv : When I went to work for you, didn’t you say something about my getting a raise?” : “ oe did say that you would if you did your work well.” : “T knew there was a catch to it somewhere.” Refinement has been described as thie ability to yawn’ without opening the mouth. “How did your Victory Garden turn out this year?” ; “It was a great saving in one way. There wasn’t as much lawn to mow.” Irving: “We’d have won that football game if our captain had not lost his head.” Frances: “Mercy! was it that bad? I heard it was only an ear-” September 1943 ..

Most of the government securi- ties for the new church are mem- orial donations and the legacy paid came from the estate of tne late Mrs. James K. Mebane of Washington, D. C., in memory of! her husband. Receiving this be- quest makes $27,000 in hand. for three of the six cottages. These facts were brought out in! reports made to the board by J. B. Johnston, superintendent, and Ernest Milton, treasurer. Mr. Johnston’s report covered the entire field of operations at Barium Springs, taking up the workings of each department. He stated that the truck farm and fruit crops were slim, but that there had been a good return, for the most part, from the big farm. He revealed that there were 297 children in the Home at the pres- ent time. Plans were started by the Re- (Continued On Page Two) New Members Are On Published by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home Fo BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C.,, | Lt. Fred Lowrance Was Killed In Action Definite Word Was Received from His Chaplain That He Lost His Life on July 30th Late on the afternoon of Sept. 29th Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lowrance, of Barium Springs, received word that their son, Second Lieutenant Fred J. Lowrance, was killed in action on July 30th! in the New Georgia area of the Solomon Is- lands. Mr. and Mrs. Lowrance were notified by the war department on jAugust 21st that their son was missing in action, and the definite statement that he was lost in battle was received in a letter from Cap- |tain Dudley H. Burr, chaplain of the 169th regiment, with which the late Lieutenant Lowrance was at- tached. The chaplain wrote these Barium Springs parents that Lieut. Low- nance was last seen on July 30th wounded but firing his pistol at the advancing enemy. He said that the “attack came suddenly, which coupled with the excitement of battle, leads me to say that he suf- fered little, if at all.” On July 31th another regiment was assigned to that territory in which Lieut. Lowrance lost his life. His body was found when this reg- iment regained the lost territory and the chaplain wrote that it was removed to the central national cemetery on New Georgia island, where all of the soldiers lost in the Southwest Pacific area would e- ventually be buried. The fact that {he was buried by another regiment |other than his own accounted for |the delay, he wrote, in getting de- ,finite information. Until such; Permanent Committee could be obtained he had to be re- Synod Made Selections at Re- cent Meeting. —Entire Per- sonnel of Ten Is Given Two men in the Synod of North Carolina will be functioning for the first time this fall as members of Synod’s Permanent Committee on Orphanage work. These are C. Spears Hicks, of Durham, who will direct the emphasis in Gran- ville Presbytery, and Hugh A. Query. of Gastonia, who will be in charge for Kings Mountain Presbytery. These two and Rufus A. Grier, of Charlotte, who is Mecklenburg’s chairman, were named for three- year terms on this permanent com- mittee at the recent meeting of the Synod of North Carolina. Mr. Grier served in 1942-1943, filling out an unexpired term, and his work was so effective that Synod selected him for a full three-year tenure. The other seven members of this committee were continued, for ported as missing in action. - Capt. Burr paid a glowing tri- bute to the Barium Springs boy, who was born here, attended the schools at this Home and_ thus spent most of his almost 25 years in this vicinity. In his letter, Cap- tain Burr wrote “You may all be proud of the splendid service which Lieut. Lowrance gave to his country—a good _ soldier who fought for God, for country and for no reward. He died for his be- liefs; there are so many people in this world who just die.” Lieut. Lowrance was born at Ba- rium Springs on October 14, 1918, just before the last war was con- cluded. Until he graduated from high school at Barium in 1937 he had spent all of his life here. He attended Davidson College and Appalachian Teachers’ College and for a time he was affiliated with the Statesville Flour Mills and la- ter with the Children’s Home at Lexington. He entered the army as a private, was promoted to serge- ant and was selected for Officers’ Candidate School from which he (Continued On Page Two) (Continued On Page Two) Barium Springs, N. C.

Thanksgiving Funds Have Started Arriving Thanksgiving Gifts of $1,498.75 Had Been Received by October 22nd. —Big Emphasis in Nov. There are some individuals who follow the annual custom of mak- ing their Thanksgiving Offerings to Barium Springs even before the season gets under way, for they realize that their contributions before the large inflix of such do- nations from the «iyehes and in- dividuals wiil be ‘pdrticularly use- ful to the Home in its operation. As the time arrived for going to press with the October copy of the paper on the 22nd, Thanks- giving sums in hand were tabula- ted and these totaled $1,498.75. Of that sum, $1,191.00 is what is list- ed in The Messenger as “Miscel- laneous” which means that they arrive direct from individuals and are not credited to any church. The remaining $307.75 was _ received from people who designated that certain churches were to receive credit or they came from one or two organizations. ‘ It was announced two issues ago that an alumnus had left $40.00 as his Thanksgiving Offering for Ba- rium on a visit here and only $100.00 appears in this issue of the (Continued On Page Two) Very Interesting A few years ago a comparatively small Sunday School, which never before did so, instituted the Offer- ing-per-month| plan for this Home, and as a result t! have had more money in the treasury than at any previous time. In sending a quar- terly sum recently, the treasurer told about tl} follows: “I’m proud to know we have doubled our « ibution to the Orphans’ Hor this quarter, and hope to keep up the good work. “One reason it Was so good this quarter was that the third Sundays were fine days, with geod att ances, “J believe t he Sunday School for the past two or three years, has given more than it ever has. We got so much ahead that We presented the church with a nice pulpit Bible last second Sunday. It cost $28.35. Then we had enough to pay for literature for the next quarter and $27.09 over.” These statements simply cor- roborate what has been said and written so many times, i. e., an offering can be contributed each month to Barium Springs and more money somehow becomes available for other purposes. It simply is a means of developing benevolent giving. Once the plan is in operation it is seldom dis- continued unless some unexpected r the Information of Its Friends LOBE R 1943 Over $1,000 Increase No. | Explanation Is Made In Bonds In A Month of Thanksgiving Sums On October 22nd, Government | Majority Bonds for Proposed Church! Had Passed Sum of $21,100.00 Was announced that $20,000.00 in government bonds of the Series F issue were in the hands of Barium Springs for a proposed church and educational building, but there was considerably more than a $1,000.00 increase in such securi- ties within a month’s time. On Oc- tober 22nd, the bonds in hand numbered $21,100.00, with’ $7.80 of cash towards the next purchase. On April 1st, the record showed this to be $15,100.00, so there has been a gain of $6,000.00 in a period of seven months. The advances have been gaining momentum all along. All memorial contributions are going into bonds for that church, and then there have been contribu- tions of bonds and money, some of which had the memorial thought behind them and others with no memorial idea attached. Within the past month the fol- lowing has arrived: Mr. and Mrs. Coit Robinson, of Lowell, gave a $100.00 bond. From Mrs. Bonnie Austin Pet- teway, of Charlotte, another $25.00 bond was received in memory of her father and mother, with the statement that she expected to follow this with more later. That is thle second such donation from Mrs. Petteway. Eugene Larry and Edward Bos- worth, very young sons of Gene and Bobby Bosworth, brothers who graduated from Barium, sent a $25.00 bond. : W. Osborne Lee and family of Lumberton had a $100.00 Series E bond issued in the name of the Home. Mrs. W. S. Wilson, of Davidson, sent a $100.00 check to be used in the new church. The necessary blanks, properly made out in the corporate name of Barium Springs, will be furnish- ed by Ernest Milton, Treasurer, Barium Springs, to any individual who wants to buy bonds for the proposed church or for any other need at Barium Springs. Indivi duals who have been purchasing these securities have been reading The Messenger and have had these made out in the name of “The Re- gents of the Orphans’ Home, a corporation, Barium Springs, N. C.” In the September Messenger it| of Churches Have Made Best Responses In Re- | cent Years.— 170 Best in ’42 | On the third and fourth pages jof this issue of The Messenger are ia lot of figures, the biggest num |ber dealing with Thanksgiving |responses in 1941 and 1942, as well as the greatest donation of the past 18 years and the year in which the peak sum was contribu- ted. There churches or | missions listed as having partici- |pated in either of the last two Thanksgiving seasons, and if the name of any place is omitted it is because no Thanksgiving Offerings have been received for the past two years. Back in 1934 the Synod of North Carolina appointed a special com- mittee to emphasize the Thanks- giving Offering for Barium. That special group has since become a permanent committee on Orphan- age work. It is extremely interest- ing that since this corps of indi- viduals started functioning in 1934 that 328 of the 536 churches can boast of their greatest Thanks- giving Offerings, with 170 of those 328 going to their highest heights in 1942, _The year in which these 536 have given their greatest Thanksgiving Offerings and the number in each of the past 18 years follows: are 536 \ j Year Number 1925 66 1926 29 1927 50 1928 16 1929 17 1930 16 1931 4 1932 4 1933 6 1934 13 1935 18 1936 33 1937 7 193 15 1939 22 1940 20 1941 30 1942 170 1943 77T A detailed examination of indi- vidual churches will show that many of them were within a few cents, and others within a few dollars, of touching new zeniths in 1942. It is the hope here that mem- bers in all churches will do their best to reach the greatest heights ever in 1943, News About Some of the Alumni of Barium MARRIAGES Cole-Fletcher On Saturday, October 8th, the following telegram was _ received by Jos.

They are: Mary Bowles, Leitha Walker, Pattie Inman, Geraldine Katen, Aline Thomas, Helen Hawley and Mary Elizabeth MeNeill. We are very proud of them. Several children, Jackie Porter- field, Sylvia Sue Buie, Shirley Thomas and Helen Hawley went to Morganton and Davidson to give a Thanksgiving program. They re- ported a nice time, We have all gotten two new Barium boys and girls again. Thanksgiving is just about here and we have a lot to be thankful for. By Mary Belle Reid RUMPLE HALL Here we are again with news about our Hailowe’en party we had last Friday night. We each invited a boy. We played games directed by Miss Clark while Mrs. Thomp- son, who gave_us the party, play- ed the piano. About 9:30 we had re- freshments of ice-cream, cake and andy in Hallowe'en colors. pairs of shoes and a pretty brand new cap. We sure do look cute, we think. We sure are proud of them. We have been to some football games. Although we didn’t win them all we surely had a swell time. We surely were glad we beat Davidson and of course you know Statesville couldn’t beat us. It was a scoreless tie, 0-0. It was very exciting. Have you all heard the latest moron joke? Here is how it was told to us by our matron, Miss Hardin. “A man came to his re- frigerator to get some ice, and found this moron sitting in it. He! said, ‘What are you doing in my refrigerator? Get out and don’t you ever let me catch you in here again’. The next night the man went again to his refrigerator and there sat the moron. The man said, ‘I thought I told you to stay out of my refrigerator. “Yes, sir. You did but isn’t this a “Westinghouse” ‘Yes, it is.’ The little moron replied, ‘Well, I’m only Westing. (rest- ing). ’ Ha! Ha! It isn’t long until Thanksgiving v. We sure have lots to be thank- ful for. Say, and only seven weeks until old Santa Claus is coming. (I'm going to start being good.) You know he only likes good boys and girls. We went to the show a few weeks ago and saw “Nasty Nui ance’ “Mr.” Hitler, Mu and yed. We ving “Mr.” Hitler ad stuck in the ground in the air. the Emperor of Japan plz sure enjoyed wat with his he and tootsie Wi ive are all stained up with pecans. We have been to the or- ‘har Y it looks like we picked ip al green ones, but we surely a | ; some be-u-tiful apples. Our cheeks are about as rosy as they are. “We-uns” will be seeing “you- uns”. Come when you can (if I were you I would ask Santa Claus for a car and some gas coupons to come to see us, Tell him not to forget to give you an extra set of tires). INFIRMARY Clyde Reid has spent a few weeks here in the Infirmary and is looking better now. We are glad to have Amos Hardy back from the Hospital. “Hurry and get well, Amos”, We had several nights of Hal- lowe’en celebration, and the Infir- mary was “overrun” with patients afterwards. They registered to fifty-three, but by Tuesday night they had all vanishled. Miss Lacky has had good luck with her flowers this fall and has sold most of them to the Johnston Greenhouse. We were very glad to have Lt. R. G. Calhoun on the campus for a few hours and Lope he can come again when he can stay longer. Football is thie leading sport now and especially when Barium wins. November 24th is Home-coming and we hope to see a lot of old We made ali the decorations for the sitting room. And, if we do say so, we had many compliments about them, We want to thank Miss Clark, Ruth May and Mary Alice Stevens for helping us. We also enjoyed having Miss Carpenter stop in for refreshments. Mrs. Thompson said that we al) acted so nice that she would give us another one around Christmas. “Can’t wait”. We also want to thank Mrs. Thompson for giving us so good a time. We were so glad to see Mr. Cal- houn today and we wish he could stay longer. SYNOD’S COTTAGE You ought to come to see us in our new winter schoolshirts. They are checked, red, green, blue, yel- low, brown, just most every color. We think they are just beautiful. We fixed four pumpkins on Hal- lowe’en and Dewie Belle Buie put candles in them and put them in our dormitory while we told stor- ies. They locked awful funny when they were all lighted up.- Woodie and Frankie Smith had a} visit from their daddy Saturday. He brought their little sister to see them. She is just three vears old, They had not seen her since she} was quite small. Woodie and | Frankie certainly did enjoy their visit. Come to see us whenever you can. —The Wigglers BABY COTTAGE The girls have their new shoes Never mind, the boys will get theirs, too, then we can stick out our feet and show off. “Just wait, girls,’ say the boys. We had a Hallowe'en party and we dressed up and said speeches and had candy and cakes to eat. Miss MeNeill, our Kindergarten teacher, gave us the party and we had a good time. At night the big girls dressed up and put on ugly faces. We laughed and laughed. Boyce Dean Smith had company last Saturday, including his father, sister and Aunt, and they gave him some candy for all the babies. Myrtle Rushing’s mother came to see her and gave ail the little girls a hair comb - pink, red, green jand yellow ones. We have some preity new bed spreads from Gastonia and Lexing- ton. We are so proud of them. Mrs. Massey’s son, Lt. Massey, brought us some bananas and! oranges. This morning we heard the piano. It sounded like kitten on the keys, and little two year old Donnie Privette had opened the piano, climbed up on the chair. His little fingers were pounding on the keys and he was singing “Birdie, Birdie, I tan see ’00 way high up in dat tee.” We just let him alone.

To me it has become the most beautiful place in the world.” “T have started off at $70.00 a month. I do not know whether my salary will decrease or in- crease, but whatever happens I intend to keep my pledge of one-tenth to God.” “YT think about how thankful I am that I was brought up in an Orphanage. I don’t think I'd trade it for anything. I’ve beer taught what is right and wrong and I try to live that way. I'll never be able to repay everyone for what they have done for me. * * * I don’t have a chance to go to church often, but I can still pray and read the Bible myself.” “T know that I haven’t lived the best life of a Christian but the background I received at Ba- rium has stayed with me. Since we have been here I have seen miracles performed and I know that they just didn’t happen.” “Tt seems like every time I am offered a drink those Sunday School lessons pop into my mind very quickly and very vividly. * * * Every boy I run ground with drinks a little and they ask me time and time again to drink with them but I have always refused. It seems as if I can see a light of respect in their faces.” “T shall continue my membership in Little Joe’s Church and would like to send something to the church for the next church year.” “When I was at Barium I loved the Home very much but really didn’t*know how much un- til I left it.” “When I try to express my gratitude for all the opportufities received at Barium, it seems impossible, Just hope that through a wholesome end Christiin life its influence might be better known, It shall always hold a warm place in my heart and be a model for our home in years to come.” “Am sending $5.00 for Little Joe’s Church; it is part of my pledge. Please give two of the five to the Boys’ Bible Class.” “We have churches down here and I enjoy attending every time I get a chance. I go every ay except when I am on guard duty or some other detail.” acy do be, but just tenth of know just yet what my pay wil as soon as I get it I willsend one- I sti up for Barium and what it has done for me. I caa never repay in words or money or In any way possible. I believe that God is really behind the whole plan at Barium because there is someth you get there that no man can take from you.’ “On our boys made the remark that he felt sorry) * me because I was the only one who didn’t smoke, gurse or never had a yarn to tell about getting drunk, so I replied that I was very sorry fi *m because they could not resist the temptations of life. Since then I have made a good many friends and hardly ever hear a curse from them.’ “There's one thing I learned at Barium that helps me out a lot here, and that is the ‘disci- pline.’ It’s pitiful to watch boys here, who have never had any kind of discipline, try to do or not do things they are told.” “Any small success that I may be able to achieve shall be due entirely to your splendid work. Thanks for everything and especially for having confidence in me when I made mistakes.” “I finished my 16 weeks’ school last night, bat _I didn’t feel half as bad as when I finished at Barium.” “T have never said much toward thanking you for all you and Barium have done for me. There 1s no use trying to thank you because there are no words that can tell you the feeling in the old Barium graduates’ hearts. The only way to tell you what Barium is, is to say that it’s paradise and let it go at that. Thanks for everything.” “You don't realize how good those ‘old’ matrons and teachers (as we sometimes referred to them) were to you until you get.out and try to understand other people. I’m telling you it’s hard to do.” “I have met up with some fellows who have @ very low opinion of an Orphanage, but I’ve changed their minds a good bit by telling thém of Barium. Every time f mention home (Barium) they ask me about it and I tell them a lot.” “T really don’t believe we are praying for our boys and our country enough. It seems that all the people study about is having a big time and going places. That’s why so many ships and planes are lost. If people would pray more there would be a great difference in this world.” “T pray to God every day that the day will speedily come when all of us will be together, celebrating the glorious victory, which surely will be ours, because if peace, freedom, love and happiness isn’t the right way of life, I don’t care for any other kind.” “I'd be worth millions if I had a nickel for every time I’ve wished I was back in school again. Those were the ‘grand old days’.” “Boy would I love to see Barium again. f get quite blue when I think of what swell times I’ve had there. My husband thinks quite a lot of Barium, too. He’s in Africa now. * * * My only regret is that I didn’t get to get married at Barium, but my future husband couldn't get a leave, so I just went to him.” “My stay at Barium has helped me quite a lot since I have been in the Navy - in the line of making friends and things like that.” “I know the boys and girls who graduate are going to miss Barium and I know that they would like to stay on there. I sure did when I finished and only wish I were there now.” “I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for the things that you have done for me in my stay at Barium. I shall never forget you and your splendid way of doing things. * * * I will always hold the memories of you and Barium and the people of Barium deep and close in my heart. I know how much it has meant to me to have stayed there.” “I will probably run up against many temp-. tations, but I feel sure that all the splendid training I received at Barium will help me from yielding to them. Tell all the workers I thank them with all my heart for the fine job they did when they taught me all I know.” _ “About this time of year (right after gradu- ation) I begin to get a little homesick for goud old Barium.” “T can honestly say that I could write a love letter about Barium, for I do love that place.” “One of my corporals asked me where I was from and I told him about Barium. I also told him that I wouldn’t take anything in the world for the time I spent there. He said that it was the first time he had ever heard a person from an Orphanage say they liked it. Barium is a fine place and I think of it a lot.” WT makes’ me proud to know that I went to school with such a fine bunch of boys that has come out of Barium.” “TI realize I will be confronted with many temptations in all sorts of disguises, but please don’t worry about me. I/think I’m prepared to deal with them all.” “My wife is in love with Barium, as I knew she would be . It certainly does the old heart ood to see the homestead.” “T sincerely hope the war and its results have not, and will not, cripple the operation of Barium Springs.” “J really enjoy Stars and Stripes’ and I al- weys look for some Barium names. But The Barium Messenger comes first. I’m enclosing $1.00 for ours.” “It (Barium) is one of the best places for anyone to think about, and to also know that Some of your time had been spent in such a won- derful place.” “Even by being away from Barium I have always and always will think of it as my home and will try and carry the splendid name that goes with all alumni that go out from there, More than once the name ‘Barium Springs’ has helped where anything else would have failed. It’s something that one cannot buy. This makes me, like all other Barium boys and girls, ‘more than glad to get in here and do my bit, whatever it might be, to help make our country a place where others may get the chance that we have had because of the many fine people who made it possible, there and elsewhere.” “Everyone here likes to hear me talk about Barium and I really enjoy telling them about my fine home. When [| start I usually keep talking for an hour or so and no-one seems to get tired of it, even though I do it every night. I have not found a single person from North Carolina, I met one boy from California and he is real nice and a church boy, too. He and I went to the Soldiers‘ Club Saturday night and drank a quart of milk apiece.” (Ed’s. note; The word milk was under- scored by the fellow who wrote the letter.) “It will soon be graduation at Barium and I wish I were there. It’s been four years since I graduated. I spent my happiest years at Barium — I have always considered it as my only ome. _ “You sure sent out some good advice on the liquor question, but we couldn't get any here if we wanted it. Even if we could I’m sure I would not touch it.” “I owe Barium a very great deal. I was very glad to get a chance to talk of Barium in one of the churches last Thanksgiving, and [ hope I get another chance some other time.” “The army is just fine, but 1 still haven’t been able to find a place that I like as well as Barium. * * * I go to Church every Sunday and enjoy it very much.” (Continued On Page Three) I] 7 ee ti 1m aly he bid November 1943 THE BARIUM MESSENGER SS (Continued From Page Two) | joyed my visit t “The training I got while at Barium has re- proud feeling to ally taken me places and when people ask me I enjoyed those where I am from, I don’t hesitate to tell them take the place of Barium in my heart.” “I want you to know how very much I en- have done any good.

As this was done toward the close of 1942, several sub- stantial checks were forwarded to Barium Springs without any solicitation from the Home or any awareness that Barium Springs was to be the recipient of those gifts. This thoughtful action on the part of some in the closing days of 1942 has inspired the writing of this article to commend this Home to any individual or business firm ms: ak- ing a distribution of gifts in the waning days of this year. It may be, too, that the donor would like to designate a specific use of the gift, and some suggestions are offered for these special donations. It is known that some are pri- marily interested in the immediate operation and prefer that their gifts be so used. Some are known to be inte rested in the proposed church and educational buil ling (if you want your gift in memory of some one individual or individuals, that information can be furn- ished to Barium Springs) and still others are | interested in a permanent ‘ndowment fund | for the Home.

PERSONALS. Many friends will be glad to} know that Miss Frances Steele, formerly case worker for the Home here, is recuperating from a serious attack of neuritis. She has been a patient at the Garfield| Hospital, Washington, D. C. and | until she leaves her address is | Room No. 7, CB-2 at the hospi- tal. George Faison has recently been taken under the care of Concord} Presbytry as a candidate for the ministry. In preparation for his entering the Seminary he is now studying at Lenoir-Rhyne College and also working in Newton, where he makes his residence. After leaving Bariuin he worked in Statesville and later went to Newton. He is married and he and his wife have one child. out of our class. Asheville beat us 32-0 through the speedy legs of two backs, Britt and Justice, and yet there were moments in that game during the second and third quarters particularly when we looked mighty good. In those two quarters we stopped those backs before they could get up to full speed. Those two quarters were scoreless. At Lexington the team was somewhat upset over the loss of the captain and tailback, and it took them half of the game against Lexington to find themselves. During that half, Lexington scor- ed six points. During the second | teresting | went on for the half, Barium was much the better team and pushed Lexington around everywhere except over the goal line. Barium missed two gocc chances to score. Davidson B team, means the Davidson squad less their top 15 men. We won this game by a one- point margin due to the determina- tion of one boy in making the last extra point. Paul Burney assisted in all of the scoring that we had this year; we think we should let him claim the Davidson game as his own. Everyone realizes that the ci- vilian colleges had teams composed of what was ordinarily high school material, and the Davidson B team played us on even terms. The Ba- rium team was constantly behind in the game; Davidson scored two quick touchdowns at the beginning of the game, Barium scored one in the second period. Then after Davidson scored a third touchdown in the last period, Barium cane back to s¢ore two quick touck- downs and win the ball game This was probably the most in- teresting game on the list. Statesville - Barium, a tie for the first time in the long his- tory of Barium - Statesville com- petition. Both teams knew just teo much about the other's offerse and took steps to ston it. Barium threatened in the first quarter the rest of the game Statesville did the threatening. At one time a pass was made into the end zone, which looked as if a Statesville boy had caught it, but his basket had a hole in the bottom and the ball went on through. Their failure to win a victory was just that close. Our game in Salisbury, was, as usual, one of those wide open in- games from start to finish} with one team making a touchdown and then the othe team matching it, and so on. W finally emerged the victors by score of 20-13 with the most tacular touchdown being made a former Salisbury boy, I Barium blocked a kick, John # mons recovered it, ran ten ¥ toward the goal and when t lateraled the ball to Fred, winning touch- sner- down. At Morganton we defeated ‘ good team 12-0. In that game, we resembled Salisbury the the week before. In the Salisbury game, we many times gave Salisbury t! ball through a fumble or an in- tercepted pass deep in our terri- tory, but Salisbury cculdn’t score; however, they twice took the ball on their own ten and marched the length of the field for touchdowns. That’s the way we were in Mor- ganton; they would give us the ball deep in their territory and then take it away from us, but | twice we marched the length of the field for touchdowns which gave us the victory. Home-coming Day and Kannapo- lis: Barium has never been defeat ed on Home-coming Day; tney have been tied twice, once witl Belmont Abbey and once with Lees-McRae. We knew that Kan- napolis was one of the strongest teams. we were to face; they had | an old Children’s Home boy play- | ing on it, and he was responsibie for one of the touchdowns; Greene is his name. Kannapolis scored first and then in the last minute of play of the first half Barium scored two touchdowns: one, a forward pass to Ed Blake; another, an intercepted pass taken by Bill Tyce, who made his one and only touchdown in the final game just as several years ago, Dick Par- rish did. Bill Tyce is center of ur team. We entered the second half with a seven-point margin, but we couldn’t hold it. Kannapolis was just too strong, and in the fourth! quarter, they came through with a touchdown to tie up the score, and that is the Varsity story! Now for the B team, which in- cludes two regular 125-pound games: We found this year that so few people were getting out 125-pound teams that we joined the B teams and played altogether ten games. Ali of these games were interesting, in some respects more interesting than the varsity. Summing it all up, we beat Landis twice, China Grove twice, a whole mess of games with Concord, and one with Statesville. There are some good players on this team that makes us believe that next year we will really have some re- placements for the varsity. Earl Allen acted as Captain for this team; Earl Adams was the tail- back, receiving good assistance from Fred Cole, Wilbur Coats, and at the:first part of the season, Ed Blake.
