Some (Continued On Page Two) FUNDS FOR GYM In his address to . the vig = he gation of the Greensboro Firs Chureh just before Dnhacies ing, Jos. Johnston, superin- tendent of Home, mentioned the need ymnasium at Ba- rium Sprir explaining that all the facilities now available here was the auditorium which was converted into a basketball court during the season for that sport. Since Mr. Johnston’s appear- ance in Greensboro, two friends in that city have “ respective contributions of 50.00 and $25.00, which stantiabes a nu- cleus of $75.00 toward this pro- ject. These funds were placed in the capital fund, and other donations for a gymnasium will be so placed, too. The government now has the use of the $75.00 contributed, and it will also temporarily have other such funds, since all building money is being placed in government securities. | | GOOD NEWS Shearer’s Chapel Sunday School, in Coneord Presbytery, has adopted the plan of giving Barium Springs one Offering each month, this being the first time that Sunday School has ever used it. Ashpole Sunday School, in Fayetteville Presbytery, has been following the offering-per- month plan since last February, but this was not known at Ba- rium Springs until a gift was received for the months of February through November. This Sunday School once _ fol- lowed the procedure, so _ this can be considered a re-instate- ment of it. Because so many day Schools are regular basis, and _ because others have been showing in- creases, the Sunday Schools of Synod together had shown an increase of $2,819.67 in the regular giving for nine months of 1943-1944 as compared with three-fourths of 1942-1943. more Sun- helping on a January 1944 THE BARIUM MESSENGER THE BARIUM MESSENGER REMEMBERING THE | ORPH ANS. 1, Leoauen i Wve and ve queatn I OF THE Under the laws of the state of North Carolina, (HERE NAME THE BEQUEST) PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA, inc ——== The approach inankss LISHE on ~ PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME _ From The Charl _Observer. ving suggests to diff people dif- | | ferent forms of imemoration, postoffice at Barium but to all it a) i suggest the e for mailing at special ora p . oe 3, 1917.

Your Friends, The Bean Stringers INFIRMARY We had a Merry Christmas and received lots of gifts. We didn’t have a white Christmas, but the following Sunday when we awoke the ground was covered with snow. We had an icy Christmas and it was lots of fun skating and fail- ing on it. Amos Hardy was our Santa Claus and this is the first time that our Santa wasn’t fat. We want to thank all of our many friends and folks who made our Christmas such a happy one. Our teachers are all back from their holidays and from their re- ports they ail had a nice Christ- mas. We are glad to report that Amos Hardy, who has been with us quite a while now, is recovering fast. For tnree weeks during Decem- ber we didn’t have any patients, but at the present time we have 47, most of whom have the measles. And, let me tell you, the girls here at the Infirmary are really busy. One patient, Lee Vinson, has a sprained ankle. You should know that she is one of our “all-star” basketball girls. The girls lost one of their games on account of this missing member. Can you imagine that? Dot Maples has a boil on her eye and, boy, is it painful? But, this doesn’t affect her eating. Now you can see that the In- firmary girls are going through a “work-out”, and how. We are a cheerful group of girls and you can always depend on us to do our job. —The Infirmary Girls Alumni News Mr. and Mrs. A. C.

They had been married seven weeks. The funeral was held at Scranton, Pa. Mrs. Howe will lat- er return to Charlotte, where she was making her home before her marriage. Information has come to Ba- rium of the death of Mr. L. J. Boyle on November 11th. Mr. Boyle was the husband of Vanilla Bolden Boyle, who lives with her three children at 612 3rd Avenue, S.

He is the son of Mrs. Annie Bry- ant Norman of 415 New Jersey Avenue. The above was clipped from a Washington (D. C.) paper, and sent to Barium Springs by rela- tives of Sgt Ray Norman, who did not know anything of the award until they read it in the newspa- pers. No doubt this is also true of other alumni who have been dec- orated, but whose reticence has kept the Barium people unaware. If anyone knows of such awards to those who were once at Barium, such information will be gladly and heartily received here, publicly announced and added to the case history of this individual on file at Barium Springs. we Given To Barium ontinued From Pege One ‘The Kate Fields gen Building’.” Each of the three children ac- companied identical letters to Ba- rium Springs in which| they ex- = a ee that their mother was still living and was i eet health. _Aosaccetestien Since it is impossible to do any building at the present time, and in their letters the three donors advised against using their $20,- 000.00 until the period of inflation had passed, this gift has been in- vested in government securities, which is the disposition whiich has been made of all building fund money that has been coming to Barium Springs during the past several years. Besides this $20,000.00 which was promptly placed in govern- ment securities, the Home here possesses $26,100.00 (maturity value) of government bonds _ to- ward a new church; and funds of $10,000.00, 7,000.00 and $9,550.00 for three small cottages of a pro- posed children’s village hiave also been invested in government bonds. Still other funds, labeled for specific things, have been placed in this type of security.

C., FEBRUARY 1944 No. 5 Thanksgiving Offering Continues to Arrive By Feb. 18, the Response Had Advanced to $62,991.33.— More Expected On January 31st, the Thanks- giving Offering received from the Synod of North Carolina had ad- vanced to $61,021.81, with an es- timated $3,509.00 of that special donation yet to be forwarded in the closing two months to officials here by church treasurers - some to send original offerings, others to dispatch supplementary sums, and zifts to be received from cer- tain organizations in some of the churches before the Offering was completed. (NOTE: On February 18th, the Thanksgiving total received was $62,991.83, with 41 ehurches to have their reports marked as being completed.) The latest tabulation on church- es shows that 482 completed re- ports were in hand, with 381 giv- ing as much, or more, than in 1942, leaving but 101 that failed to reach the ’42 amounts. Of the grand total of 481, 214 churches were boasting of the greatest Thanksgiving Offerings to Ba- rium Springs since the season of 1925. Seven of the nine Presbyteries had surpassed the final 1942 ag- gregate by January 81th. These seven and their gains were Con- cord Presbytery, $2,799.27; Gran- ville, $975.28; Mecklenburg, $948.22; Wilmington, $606.56; Winston-Salem, $332.97; Fayette- ville, $171.06, and Albemarle, $99.99. The two that were not “over the top” at the end of last month were Kings Mountain, lacking $531.04, and Orange, $393.88. The former’s giving in February sent them into a plus category, while Orange will also have an increase when all of the Offering is here from that Presbytery. That will make a 100% record for the nine divisions of Synod. Here is the way the Offering had been received through January 31, 1944, as compared with the final Offerings from each Presbytery for 1942: Through 1942 Presbytery Jan.31, 44 ‘Final Albemarle $ 2,411.19 $ 2,311.20 Concord 14,865.95 12,066.68 Fayetteville 5,833.87 5,662.81 Granville 4,733:89 3,758.61 Kings Mountain 4800.44 5,331.48 Mecklenburg 18,462.85 12,514.63 Orange 7,666.37 8,060.25 Wilmington 3,642.26 3,035.70 Winston-Salem 3,604.99 3,272.02 "tak siguientes TOTALS $61,022.81 $56,013.38 Barium Springs, N.

Dear Mr. Milton: Ai cannes. + teers ecenn” = Relationship of Survivor to Deceased Bonds for Church Now Total $26,800 Increase of $700.00 Noted In Such Securities Within the Past Month Between January 17th and February 18th, government bonds for a proposed church and educa- tional building at Barium Springs increased from $26,100.00 to $26,- 800.00. Besides those securities, there was cash of $44.40 in hand on February 18th which will be used in the next bond purchase. Quite interesting is the fact that this $700.00 increase in such holdings came about largely through small memorial contri- butions. The Mebane Sunday School sent the money for a $25.00 bond, to join other organizations helping on the project, and one $100.00 check in memory of an individual was received. The other gifts were small memorial contri- butions of individuals, tions and business firms. Part of those are in January’s Messenger; | the others will be listed in Febru- ary. No doubt some bonds will be forwarded to Barium Springs soon which were purchased in the recent bond drive. An inquiry was received here recently as to the proper name to be used, for rela- tives wanted to honor a_ boy who recently sacrificed his life in an airplane accident. The informa- tion always reads “The Regents of the Orphans’ Home, a corpora- tion, Barium Springs, oc Substantial progress made toward the necessary funds for the contemplated chureh and memorial building, for the cur- rent holdings represent an in- crease of $11,700.00 in bonds since last April 1st, which covers a period of almost 11 months. For the whole year, the average monthly gain is going to be well over $1,000.00 a month in such securities. $100.00 S. S. Club By January 31st, 65 Sunday Schools in the Synod of North Car- olina had sent as much as $100.00 regularly to Barium Springs in 10 months, and with that many alrea- dy included in the Club, the fina! number to be listed for 1943-1944 is going to pass, by a considerable number, the 77 that were tabulated at the close of 1942-1943. Of the 65 Sunday Schools, four have been listed in the Club for the first time in history. These are Centre and Red Springs in Fayette- ville Presbytery; Mallard Creek in Mecklenburg and Chadbourn in Wilmington. Besides those new-comers, Geo. W.

Since all have not been completed to officials at Ba- rium Springs, there may be others to be added to the present number; if so, these will be publicly an- nounced later. Since there were 482 completed reports in hand, it meant that just ibout 44.4% of the places report- jing 1943 Thanksgiving Offerings to this Home had the best for a period of 19 years that has been examined by authorities at Ba- lrium. A scrutiny of the Offerings reports since this Home was established \in i891 weuld no doubt reveal that the m tv was the best in the Pil 52 years that this Home has been in operation. Most of the churches broke peaks which were set in 1942, for 116 smashed those high-water marks of the previous year.

Since that time there have been many other comments of a similar nature. Some of these are be- ing printed now, and _ there may be more later. The first ones, prepared in booklet form, had such a far-reaching effect that it was felt here that still more of these vol- untary statements would be worthwhile. It will be noticed that a few of them have made » comment about the book- let, verify all that others had written. Sor Every now and then I get sick - nothing wrong with my body, just homesick. I wonder where I can get medicine to cure me of that sickness jooking forward to the day when I can bring my wife up, show her around, try to tell her of some of the grand times I’ve had there and introduce her to the grandest people in the world and the best home this guy has ever known. Barium deserves only the best. Glad to hear that our fellows are doing such good work. We can’t help it, we were trained and raised at Barium. The things I learned at Barium are really coming in good now more than ever before. When I go out on these missions it’s a great feeling to know that not only my prayers but the pray- ers of my friends back home are with me constantly. I know, be- cause sometimes it would be im- possible if it wasn’t for our Good Lord. s I'm doing my best to make a Quite a few fellows have asked me just what the life in the Or- phanage is like. I tell them of all the wonderful times I’ve had there. Ali have very high respect for the Home there. I shal! never forget the years that I was at Barium. They were very happy ones. Meat had my life to live over again I would want to be there at Barium. After having lived at Barium for a little over 16 years I can readily understand why we love Barium so much. Sure would love to have been there yesterday (Home-Coming Day). I don’t think I was the “onliest” boy who was homesick. —_— and really looked very sad and we just sat here talking about who was there and who was not there . About the little | book from Barium’ graduates: Weill, I got into a conversation with one boy about Barium and I handed him the book. After he got through reading it he said, “I never knew a place like that was on earth.” Then I said JT never did, either, until I had left there. That book does the talking now when someone asks me about Ba- rium. From 2 wife of a Barium grad- uate: ———— has always told me it wah a paradise on earth and has praised it to the skies. All I can say is I wasn’t one bit disap- pointed when I visited there and ——__— didn’t over-praise it at all . . . All of the childrer seemed so happy and not once did I hear from any of them that they didn’t like the Home and wished they weren’t there. When this war is over I am planning on coming and seeing the good old place. I really miss Ba- rium and the good times I had there with a swell bunch of people. I got my furlough _ last week and went te London. While I was in the Red Cross at a show heard a boy call me and I locked around. About 20 feet away was . I was so glad to see him I ’bout cried. We went out of the show and we talked about the good times we had at Barium. We stayed out ’til 4:30 the next morn- ing talking. And then he went and stayed with me, but we could not sleep because we wanted to talk to each other. I miss the “ole” place and I’m pilot. If I fall out of that I still have a chance to make a navigator, bombadier or gunner, but what- ever I make or wherever I ge I’ll always give Barium the best name I know. A fellow doesn’t know how much he misses his home (Ba- rium) and friends until he’s away for some time. I want you to know I think the world of Barum, and I’d rather be there than any other nlace in the world.

I am still trying to practice the morale you taught us at Barium and yet expect to come out of this Army with a clean record and yet to take my first strong drink. Sometimes wonder what I would have looked like if I had not had the care and love that Barium gave me. Then I just thank God for Barium and all the “Ba- riums” everywhere and all the people who make them the kind of places that they are. It was a great pleasure to re- turn to Barium again and I hope I will again soon. I also hope that all the boys wi!l have the same privilege. It is just like home to me and I am very proud to say that I was raised there. You know Barium will be run- ning this war if some of the boys don’t stop slowing up. Barium really has something to be proud of. It certainly docs make one feel proud to say, “Yes, I was there fifteen years.” and then to read down tle roster of those from Barium. J only hope to be able some day to repay Barium in some way for the things she has done, and made possible for me. And I will. It is just like home to me, and I am very prou to say I was rais- ed there.

Having already met the Statesville team on its own court and having been de- |feated by them, the girls team was particularly anxious to win. The margin of victory was not mber Barium in| Jarge, but decisive enough. The spirit’ of real sportsmanship and skill displayed by the members of both teams was very fine. An un- usually large crowd enjoyed this game with us. On February 12 the girls at the Lottie Walker building are entertaining their friends at the gymnasium with a barn dance. A prize is to be presented to the couple who dresses as the most typical “Clem” and ‘’Country lass.” The standard garment is, I be- lieve, to favor overalls, straw hats and gingham gowns. Already the invitations are out and _ the necessary borrowing is taking place. For refreshments, those at- tending will quench their thirst with apple juice, with doughnuts for dunking. We'll let you know how it turns out. LEE’S COTTAGE It has been quite a while since we last wrote news of our cottage and a number of things have hap- pened since then. Our number is reduced by one. Johnny Slater went to live with his mother in Portsmouth, Va. We miss him, but we are happy that he can be with his mother. So now we have 25 boys and the black kitty. We have had our yearly physi- cal check-up by Dr. Herman, and all were found to be in good health. We had a little spell of measles and the following boys had to be in the Infirmary: Charles Fair- cloth, Mac Caldwell, John Junius Wicker, Cromer Curtis, Jerry En- nis, Bobby McMannen and Bud- can find a heme better that Ba- rium. It’s gratifying to look over the list of names of the old boys and girls and find that they are living up to the tradition inherited while at Barium. Of course we are not all Generals, but they alone cannot suppress the charges of the enemy. I do believe that we are performing our respective duties as well as the big boys above us. At least that is our goal. years I spent there wouldn’t trade for Those 1534 at Barium Those quotations that were the world, and can anything i hat is the way that lots imagine t! printed in it (The Messenger) are the right things all of us who leave Barium think about.

I realize that if I had not been at Barium T would not have the education I have, or be as well acquainted with the church as I am, or even be as physically fit for training as I am. | have Ba- rium to thank for this and, be lieve me, I appreciate everything Barium did for me. I think it is a fine place and I believe no one will ever regret staying there I sure am proud that I was there. When I read anything about Barium’s games, sports or church activities, something deep down inside of me warms with pride. I also wish there was some way I could pay back Parium for all the good times I’ve had there, and what you and the rest of the folks did for me. I know now that any person who has ever been at Ba- rium could never be in better hands, and I’m thankful that I had the chance to go through Barium I hate to brag, and yet it isr.’t bragging at all, but I like to think that it’s bragging.

RUMPLE HALL Hello Friends, This is Valentine month, and a good friend gave our matron money to get us some Valentines and candy. We certainly appre- ciate this kindness. Our three measle girls are back with us after two weeks at the In- firmary. We missed them, as each girl has her place in our home. Annie Star Langley is still the “boy crazy girl” of our cottage. Monday night we went to the show to see “Lassie Come Home.” We thank our matron very much for her kindness in paying our way. We had to wait an hour be- fore we got in, but it was worth waiting for. The Junior choir sang last Sun- day. We hope the peopie enjoyed hearing us as much as we enjoy- ed singing for them. Our Junior basketball team is knocking it hard and hope to bring home the bacon someday. Spring seems to be right around the corner and the swimming pool seems very peaceful and waiting for us to take a dip. Signing off ’til next month. —Rumple Hali Girls. INFIRMARY Hello Folks, This is the Infirmary bringing you the news of month. girls the Our epidemic of measles is fin- ally over. We had over 60 in bed, but they have all gone out, and none of them has come back. We had a hard time while they were here, but since they have gone our nurse, Mrs. McNatt, was off for a few days visiting her son, Staff Sgt. Charles MecNatt at Fort Jackson, S. C. Our kitchen matron, Miss Lack~ ey, was sick for-a few days, and Miss Sallie Whitner took her place. Miss Juanita Hardin, matron of Annie Louise Cottage, was with us two weeks recovering from an operation which she had at Davis Hospital. Amos Hardy, who has been with us for quite a while, has left the Infirmary. “We miss you, Amos, but we were glad you could go.” One of our girls, Jean McDonald, finally got on the Honor roll. Zeod lath Jean, One of vur dear friends, Lucile Smith, has been looking “down in the dumps lately.” What could the matter be? Is it because her boy friend is leaving? Keep your chin up, Lou, he'll come back! We wonder why our Junior team lost with Statesville. It couldn’t be because Betty Joe Smith played half a quarter which you never could expect to happen. Keep it up, Joe, we'll win next time. Tune in again next month. —The Infirmary Girls. SYNOD’S COTTAGE Hello Folks, Here we are again, bring you news from Synod’s Cottage. Since you heard from us the last time 15 boys have had mea- sles, and as soon as Clayton Mil- ler got over the measles, he took chicken pox. We are all well now, though, and real glad to get back to our cottage. You should see cur new basket- balls and goals. The ladies from Miss Cora Freeze’s Circle in Mooresville sent the money to buy them. We are having such a good time playing ball. Some of our boys can play real good now, since they have a place to practice. We want to thank the ladies of the circle for 2 nice gift. Albert Clough had a visit from his sister last week. Billy Hardin’s mamma and a big sister came to see him from Raleigh. They were both real tickled to see their folks. —The Wigglers. BABY COTTAGE Hey there foiks! Would you like for us to crowd ’round you for a little visit, feel your pretty dresses with our sticky fingers (for we're eating candy and or- anges), maybe step on your toes with our “bootful” shoes and ail talk at one time? Well here we come: Shirley Johnson is ali smiles these days. She has found a little new friend about her own age, who is Donna Brooks Irving of Green- ville and they are having lots of fun writing letters and exchanging valentines. Donna sent Shirley the nicest little white slips you ever saw. Shirley smiles most of the time. She is just so happy. Myrtle Rushing, one of our big girls, was taking little Donnie Privette to ride on her back. We asked Donnie what he was riding on and he said “a elephant.” Myr- tle just laughed and they rode on up and down the hall. You see, it’s been snowing and raining and cold and muddy. We think that is fine but they just will not let us go “outsides” to play in any of it. and he said “I’se a pheet ‘ittle Little Charles Bowles had just gotten up from his afternoon nap, and he said “I’se a pheet ‘ittie boy. I went to seep”. Andy Brown is in the rocking chair all by himself and says “J’m a big boy.” But he’s out now, try- ing to get Mrs. Massey’s ink bot- tle off the table. He has pretty brown eyes. We had a fine time Valentine day. The first and second grades and theiz teachers, Misses Keon and Vidall, came over to our cot- tage and had a party and a little play ealled “Tarts.” Beth Jackins was Queen of hearts and baked some tarts, and Donald Dean, 4 little Knave, stole them away, and then, would you believe it, he wanted another one! The children sang some songs, including some solos, some duets and some quar- tets. After that, they gave us tan- garines, cookies and candy.

Capt. Jos. B. Johnston, Jr., son of the Barium superintendent and his wife, was married in Christ Episcopal Church in Algiers, North Africa, on January 21st to Lieut. Margaret Mary Quigley, of Roxbury, Mass. and the U. S. Army nursing corps. Both are connected with the station hos- pital in Algiers, Capt. Johnston being on the medical staff. Mrs. Johnston attended Katherine Gibbs School in Boston before taking her nurse’s training. Capt. Johnston finished at Barium, at ‘Davidson College and Tulane’s Medical School. Before entering the Army Medical Corps he was with Charity Hospital in New Orleans. BIRTHS. Sergt.. and Mrs. William Mor- ris Freeman, of Statesville and the U. S. Army, announce the birth of a daughter, Rebecca Alice, on February 2nd. Mrs. Freeman is in Statesville; Sergt. Freeman is stationed in Califor- nia, but had a furlough that en- abled him to see his daughter shortly after her arrival. VISITORS. Among the many visitors of the alumni to Barium recently have been Mary Ann McCormick, Wil- ma Jessup, Mr. & Mrs. Jack Weeks (the latter the former Virginia Cranfill), Billy McCall, Wallace and Roscoe Twombly, Paul Horne, Dick Parrish and Robert Brown. NEW RECRUITS. The total number of alumni who have joined forces with Uncle Sam now number 187, for the three latest additions are Cecil Shepherd, Mott Price and Paul Reid. The latter was a member of the 1944 graduating class, but left here this month to go into the air corps. The other two are with the Navy. PROMOTIONS. Promotions recently occurring among the alumni include Marley Sigmon to Ensign; Hazel Sim- mons and Sarah Fort to First Lieutenants in the Army Nursing corps; Sam Lackey to Second Lieutenant and pilot in the Army Air Corps; Gordon Jones to War- rent Officer in the Navy; Ernest Stricklin to S 2-c, and Mrs. Nel- lie Johnson Summers (Marine Corps Auxiliary), Dick Parrish and William Cranfill to privates first class. PERSONALS. On Page 90 of the February 21st issue of Life Magazine, the nurse standing near. the light is First Lieutenant Hazel Simmons, a graduate of Barium Springs. The caption under the picture does not identify the four gather- ed around the wounded soldier, but those who knew Hazel when she was at Barium Springs rec- ognized her immediately. She was in Charlotte before entering the service. He: “I’ve come to a conclusion.” She: “What is it?” “I realized today that I have been a bachelor for 38 years, and—” “Oh, Jack, this is—” “And I degided I'd had a very good time and that I’d keep it up.” Cottage News (Continued From Page Two) | cookies. The; were so good. Miss Koon wouldn’t tell us herself, so Miss Vidall told on her. Mr. Jack- ins, Beth’s father; Miss MeNeill, our kindergarden teacher, and Mr. Hethcox, were invited to the party, and they came, too. We were in- vited to the party at school, but there was so much snow on the ground we couldn”t go, so they came to us. Now, don’t you think that was nice? Miss Lily Bryant, one of our matrons here (and she’s pretty, too), spent the week end in Win- ston-Salem. Now, can’t tell, but her boy friend, who is a marine, ‘was over to see her. He was wear- ing a pretty uniform and we asked him to stand up and let us look at him - and he did. He’s goodlooking, too, if he does wear freckles and “red” hair, and he’s “dood,” too. He saluted for us and that was pretty. His name is Dick Parrish, and he use to be a little boy here like us. Mrs. Massey taught them both in the first grade! Of course, he comes to see us when he comes THE BARIUM MESSENGER Page Three THE SECOND MILE Wrote a Sunday School treas- urer, “The fourth) Sunday of De- cember was a bad day for Sunday School, on account of the weather and ‘flu’. We only had a few pres- ent on that day, and no collection was taken. However, we are send- ing $8.00 to apply in the usual way. I notice that-‘our gift on the fourth Sunday of December in 1942 was $6.50. We did not want our donation for 1943 to fall un- der that of 1942, so we are send- ing the $8.00 as mentioned above.” Can you imagine the reply made to that? From another treasurer: “They wrote me that we had six inches of snow last Sunday and couldn't have Sunday School, as ours is a country church. So, I am sending you my personal check for $3.00, which will represent our second Sunday Offering. I don’t want us to miss out.” What a_ treasure was that treasurer! “Whenever our contribution does not come up to $10.00,” pen- ned still another treasurer recent- ly, “I always make up the differ- ence as I want our Class to have a record this year. Up to date, we are $35.43 ahead of last year, with one month to go.” Inciden- tally, that new record is already “in the bag”, but officials are expecting that March Offering of this particular class to be among the best of 1943-1944, to bring the year to an appropriate, fitting and outstanding conclusion. “The last two Sundays for Ba- 214 Churches Send (Continued From Page One) ker Meadows, Royal Oaks, Salis- bury Second, Setzer’s Gap, Shear- er’s Chapel, Statesvi First, Ta- bor, Waldensian.

The above quotations are from treasurers who expressed them- selves. Had al! of then made some comment, it would make a long list of quotations, for some might have said that they used more than one Sunday to make up the gift that was forwarded for those rainy or snowy Sundays. This would certainly appear to be true from the splendidness of some re- ports on those bad days.

Rumple Hall Girls PRINTING OFFICE Dear Readers, Sometimes you probably won- der how The Barium Messenger is printed. The boys do it themselves, along with the help of Mr. E. K. Kyles, the foreman. Of course, there is someone behind him Mr. Ernest Milton, assistant editor, who mak- es up the copy and Mr, Johnston, takes the blame for anything printed that ought not to be. I doubt if you very seldom find anything that ought not to be there. The money copy, as you see every month on the back page, is worked up by Miss Andrews, bookkeeper and cashier. The copy is sent down here and Ray Lewis sets a lot of it up on the linotype when he is here. Mr Kyles usually does it now since we are in school most of the day.

ANNIE LOUISE Dear Friends, are glad to have Miss iC h us after having t for two months on ac- count of illness, We missed her so much. Mrs. Margaret Rogers from Franklin, Va. was with wus luring Miss MHardin’s absence. She was so sweet. We hated to see her leave us. In fact, we begged her to stay with us. We are so proud of our lovely new bed spreads. Circle No. 3 in Mooresville so rraciously gave them to vs. They also brought us some candy. We enjoyed the candy and our beds look se good with our new spreads on, We got our report cards. These were the girls on honor roll: Pat- tie Inman, Aline Thomas, Shirley Thomas, Martha Nell Hall, Sylvia Sue Buie, Geraldine Katen, Mar- garet Hopkins and Jackie Porter- field. Since you last heard from us Betty Lou Hooten has come to live with us as one of our big girls. We like her very much Nearly all of us had measles and several have had pink eye, but we are all well and happy again. We have an honor guest on our campus now. She is Mrs. John Q. Holton from Winston-Salem. She was seventh grade teacher here for many years and for five years before her retirement she was matron of our cottage. We are de- lighted to have her visit us. We hope she will not wait so long be- fore she visits us again. We all learned to love Mrs. Holton and we can never forget her.

We are very glad to have Mrs. Holton, one of our retired ma- trons, with us. We feel honored having her stay in our cottage. We have had very few patients sick this month. We have one pa- tient, Herbert Good, who has just had his appendix removed. He is much better and will soon be out. We enjoyed having all the Sun- day School Superintendents with us Sunday for their conference. We have taken jn five new chil- dren since we last, wrote you. They are: Earl and Bobby Johnson, and Jimmy, Donnie and Jean Harring- son. We are very glad to have them with us. Look for us in the next Mes- senger. lamb new babies, Doris .

Johnston, son of the Barium superintendent, from Ma- jor to Lieutenant Colonel (he has been acting in this capacity since June, though his commission was only recently received) and Mar- shall Norris to § 1-c, NEW RECRUITS. Strange as it may seem, this is the first issue of The Barium Mes- senger in a long, long while that has not given the name of some alumnus entering the services of Uncle Sam. Maybe there were some within the past three weeks, but officials here are not acquaint- ed with them. PERSONALS. No further word has been re- ceived about Second Lieut. T. L. O’Kelly, missing on an over-water flight. For 14 consecutive days his family received a telegram in Charlotte that the search for him was continuing, but on the 16th day, the telegram said that the search had been abandoned after covering a territory of a thousand her| miles and extending over a period and| of 16 days. Mr. and Mrs. O’Kelly, former residents of Barium, were informed that their next official | | word would be coming from Wash- ington. The newspapers recently listed the name of Vance Smith, Jr., of Statesville, a Barium alumnus, as having been wounded. That in- formation was known here some time before it became public pro- perty, and by now Vance has no doubt recovered and is back in the thick of things. At the Sunday School superin- tendents’ conference at Barium Springs recently, four of the visi- tors (not all are superintendents, though) were alumni of Barium. These were Rev. J. O. Mann, D. D., of Charlotte, W. T. Warlick and Ed. Flowers, of Statesville, and George Faison, of Newton. Two Commencement Speakers (Continued From Page One) him. Rev. Roy D. Watts, D. D., pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church of Albemarle, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates on Sunday, May 14th, and the commencement address on Monday night, May 15th, will be delivered by Rev. George Mauze, D. D., pastor of the First Church of Winston-Salem and a member of the .Board of Regents of the Home. The third speaker, who has not yet been invited, will be the min- ister who will preach to the va- rious Young People’s Societies on the Sunday night of May 14th. In addition to the appearances of these three speakers, there will Page Two be other program events of the commencement season, which al- ways include exercises on the Fri- day night preceding graduation and the final Class Day program on the morning of rraduation. Be- fore these events, too, there will be a junior and senior music re- cital by the pupils of Miss Laura Gray Greene. Usually there has been but one recital, but two are planned for this spring. Commencement of 1944 will be a month| later than it has been for a good many years, and that is be- cause the schools here, like all others in North Carolina, are now operating under a nine-month schedule instead of eighit months. Even as it is, the graduating ex- ercises at Barium Springs will be earlier than the average school, because of the opening of the 1948-1944 session the latter part of August and also because no time is lost here because of bad weather. The schoo) buildings are on the campus and nobody has to depend upon’a bus getting them there. Consequently, heavy snows never interfere, as it does in most schools. Fuller details on the 1944 com- mencement program will be an- nounced in the April issue, when the name of the third speaker will also be available. INSPIRING TRIBUTE Maybe this ought to be placed in the “Alumni News” of The Ba- rium Messenger, but if so, it might be that only the alumni would | read it. Since jt is the desire of officials that everybody - both al- umni and the constituents of the North Carolina Synod — read this, it is being published in the general columns of The Messenger. It is a comment of which all should be proud. It will be gratifying to those students who have at- tended Davidson College and it will be stimulating to those who have made possible this higher education. In March.a gift of $20.00 was forwarded to Barium through a friend by a Captain in the U. S. Air Corps, and the accompanying letter said this: “ — graduated from Davidson College and during that time he saw much of the Barium Springs Orphanage boys. In the letter with! this enclosed check he said he had never met a finer group of boys anywhere.” Such a tribute is inevitably of large satisfaction to every per- son at Barium Springs who has had any part whatsoever in help- ing to train the boys and girls who graduate from the Home. This comment by a Davidson alumnus is not the first one, by any means, that has come to of- ficials at Barium Springs, but it is the latest. Many such assertions haye been made, and contacts with Barium Springs’ boys at David- son have even led to the sending of contributions to this Home by people who are not affiliated with the Presbyterian denomination. They simply wanted to give their stamp of approval to the type of work that was being done with the graduates whom they later knew in college. JOHN DOE CONTRIBUTES You’ve read of “John Doe” in school textbooks a good many times, and John Doe has been a figure in many arithmetic prob- lems offered for solving. That gentleman has become quite real to officials at Barium Springs in recent months, for airmail letters have been reaching Barium from Pueblo, Colorado, and in each air- mail letter has been a_ splendid donation. Officials here hlave no idea who this particular John Doe is, but it is an assured fact that he or she does not want his-or her iden- tity known, for there is never any return address on the ‘envelope. No copy of The Messenger goes to anyone in Pueblo, though there — be — ie in North arolina forwarding a co out to Colorado, - ” _ Anyway, the gifts keep on com- ing, they keep on being recorded at Barium Springs, and the grati- tude of the people here keeps on climbing. of re eq af or T w m WwW tl R rg March 1944 S. S. Superintendents’ Conference Held Here Sunday Scho2! Leaders of Con- cord Presbytery Have All- Day Session on March 5th More than 25 Sunday Schools of Concord Presbytery were rep- resented at Barium Springs Sun- day, March 5th, at an all-day con- ference of Sunday School super- intendents and their as who were met here by leaders from the Synod and from Rich- mond, Va. Approximately 40 ar- rived for the morning sessions and lunch at Barium, while an equally large number of elders, deacons and pastors came in the afternoon for the closing address on “Men and the Church” by S. J. Patterson, director of men’s work, with headquarters in Rich- mond. McAlister Carson, of Charlotte, was the key individual arranging the sessions in conjunction with Rev. J. O. Mann, D.D., also of Charlotte and who is director of religious education. Dr. John C. Bailey, dean of students at Davidson College, spoke on “The Sunday School and Christian Culture” at the first exercise, followed by a discussion on “The Superintendent’s Job” by Mr. Patterson from Richmond. Rev. Thos. C. Cook, pastor of Little Joe’s church, preached a sermon at the regular morning worship service in which he ex- tolled the importance of Sunday Schools endeavor. Lillie Bell Smith, a senior at Barium, led the devo- tional exercises in the church service. The choir, which gave a special number, was composed soley of Barium boys and girls, with Dewey Belle Buie at the piano. Participating in the afternoon session, presided over by Mr. Car- son, were Elbert Todd, Charlotte, former superintendent of West- minster Sunday School, who pre- sented an outline of detailed rec- ords kept on their Sunday School members; Miss Mary Louise Woodson, Charlotte, on “Improv- ing Our Worship Services,” Dr. Mann on “Securing and Helping Teachers,” with the final stirring | closing and inspirational address by Mr. Patterson. Just before Mr. Patter- | son’s address, a general discussion on the Sunday School was led by Rev. A R Batchelor, of Rich-| mond, Va, director of Sunday Schools in the General Assembly, who was a former pastor in Con- cord Presbytery This metting at Barium Springs was one of several which have been planned throughout North Carolina Synod, and are designed to inspire the Sunday School sup- erintendents in their important jobs and to fortify them with materials to carry on their work in an effective manner. The con- sensus of opinion after adjourn- ment at 4 o’clock was that this assembly of Sunday School lead- ers was an unusually worthwhile attempt on the part of those plan- ning them. Synod’s Total Almost Up to (Continued From Page One) somewhat to themselves. The other five are in a closer range of each other, with Granville ahead and with Wilmington trailing. There’s not such a great difference be- tween the last five. Granville has a per capita sum of 106.1 cents as compared with Wilmington’s low of 90.9 cents. In between will be found Albemarle, Orange and Fayetteville in that order. Last-minute giving by some Presbyteries may change this pic- ture of the ratings, and it will be interesting when the final stand- ing is prepared to see how closely it confofms to the one appearing in this issue of The Messenger. Through February the Presby- terians of the Synod had an aver- age of $1.17 per person. The final average will probably be around $1.23 for the 93,371 North Curo- ‘lina Presbyterians.

Now that is all settled, and we are getting down to the business of writing about the clinic. As you know, there is a doctor shortage - a most serious doctor shortage in Iredell County. In- stead of having one doctor for each 800 people, I believe we have one doctor for every 4,500 people right now in this county. That be- ing the case, we didn’t want to take as much time of our regular Dr. Herman as we had been for- merly, so we asked Dr. Skeen to help out, and the two of them really did give our youngsters a going over. Both doctors seemed to get a great kick out of it.

The general health during the year has been good in spite of the fact we, have taken in more smal} childrerf than usual, and_ thes« smaller children, as a rule, need a good deal of. attention. All in all, our health examination revealed many things to make us grateful and many things to challenge ou! continued efforts. We try to do everything possible, so that every child who leaves Barium Springs will have as fine physical equip- ment as is possible for him to have. From year to year we give you this report. This year we can give you an over-all report, which is most gratifying. We read from time to time in the papers that of the inductees from 17% to 25% are turned down because of phy- sical defects. As far as we know, out of about 190 inductees from Barium, only three have been turned down; they were for eye conditions, That makes us feel mighty good. God has certainly blessed our efforts, and the young people themselves have cooperated so that our small efforts have really resulted in big things.

As ‘the summer of 1943 ap- proached, there was such an acute gasoline shortage and transpor- tation of all kinds was so con- gested that we did not think it patriotic or practical to allow va- cations to take place with the necessary traveling that that would entail. Some of the children could have gone to relatives and friends with- out causing any travel bother at all, those who lived nearby in particular, It did not seem fair, however, to allow these to go and deny the others, so for that one year we did not have vacations. Now this year is another story: it appears thiat car travel has eas- ed up somewhat, and while bus and railroad travel appear to be just as much congested, we are still going to try to restore the (Continued On Page Two) Final Thanksgiving Sum Is $64,838.34 Every Presbytery Shows An Increase.— 217 Give Best Amoun’s Since 1925 The final 1943 Thanksgiving Offering from the Synod of North Carolina was $64,838.34, which is by far the greatest in the 52 years of operation of this Home. This relegated to history the peak of $56,013.38 reached in 1942, be- ing $8,824.96 more. In addition to this aggregate by Synod, Thanks- giving responses coming direct from individuals and business firms, and not credited to church- es, were $8,967.00, to give a grand total of $73,805.34 at Thanksgiv- ing-time. There were 529 churches or mis- sion points in North Carolina that participated in Synod’s Thanks- giving Offering, and it is interest- ing that 217 of the 529 sent the best responses since the 1925 sea- son. All told, 405 gave more thian! in 1942, while only 125 fell below the sums donated in the immedia- tely previous Thanksgiving period. Had 17 churches which sent offerings in 1942 responded in!

Additional res; from organizations a‘ these places arrived at Bari: Springs in the closing days the 1943-1944 year { them to new highs a giving-time since the season of 1925, It is quite remarkable that 217 of the 529 partici ting churches in the offering last November could climb to such heights in the 1242 special period of emphasis. Recognition of the 215 others has already been given in pre- vious issues of The Messenger, and officials are glad this month to make public these ad- ditional two. To all 217 genuine and hearty congratulations are rch, bot] being extended upon the mar- velous record that was made in the 1943 season of unprece- dented giving to this Home in its 52 years of operation.

Not since the Home was estab- lished at Barium Springs in No- vember of 1891 have the Presby- terians of the Synod of North Carolina exhibited a liberality of such generous proportions as that reached in 1943-1944, when the grand total of regular and Thanks- giving Offerings for the support fund were $124,843.92 - just a lit- tle bit shy of $125.000.00 for the 12 months. The 93,371 Presbyter- ian in Synod averaged almost $1.34 per person in the 1943-1944 year, showing a per capita gain of almost 18 cents over 1942-1943. The sum of $109,442.90 for 1942-1943 was “tops” until the recently concluded year, but the these donations advanced to the|1943-1944 and thus are included| of April.

The eontacts have been delightful with all of you and the frie hips that have been developed anu en- joved over the years with you and your predecessors shall al- ways be cherished. Though I shall be living in another state, I will continue to be keenly in- terested in the progress of this Home.” The resigning treasurer is a past president of the North Caro- lina Orphanage Association, has been an elder in Little Joe’s Church, treasurer of the local church’s benevolences, treasurer of Little Joe’s Sunday School, a teacher in the latter and was a commissioner to the General As- sembly from Concord Presbytery at the May, 1943, meeting in Mon- treat. For three years he had ser- ved as chairman of Synod’s Fin- ance Committee and at the last meeting of Synod he was named for another three-year term, His resignation from this post has - into the Stated Clerk of Syn- od. During his years with Barium Springs Mr. Milton has handled all publicity matters for the Home, toured Synod two falls with a moving picture depicting the life at Barium, entertained dele- gations coming to the campus and has been associate editor of The Barium Messenger.

Winston- Salem, Mecklenburg and Gran- ville ranked in the 8rd, 4th and 5th places for the two years, but for the remainder there was a considerable shifting. Perhaps the most notable was the rising of Wilmington Presbytery f r 0 m ninth place to sixth, while Fay- etteville went one notch from eighth to seventh. Albemarle tumbled from sixth to eighth, and the cellar position is occupied by Orange Presbytery, which fell from seventh to ninth, For a good many years Wil- mington an? Fayetteville Presby- teries have been at the bottom of the heap, sometimes Wilmington being last and then Fayetteville. But, both of these spurted remark- ably in the past 12 months and now leave the cellar “battle” to Albemarle and Orange Presby- teries. Vacations Will Be Allowed (Continued From Page One) vacations as much as possible, A vacation of two weeks will be al- lowed to those children whose relatives or friends can provide a vacation and arrange for their travel. Now this does not mean a whole- sale throwing open of the doors; it doesn’t mean thiat all children will have a vacation away from Barium Springs - it never has meant that. There are some fami- lies who are unable to shelter the children for even a brief period of time; some others have been en- tirely broken up, and some of the children are too small to risk any extended trip. So each’ vacation has to be arranged on its own merits and for those who do not get to go we will as far as possible arrange other pleasures. We will have our camp on the river as usual; the first one is scheduled for July 24th, and each child will get one week at camp and those who do not have any other sort of vacation will get an additional week, In order for these two things not to conflict, all vacations must be arranged for between May 22nd and July 22nd; on July 22nd vacations away from Barium will be over, We note that the trains and bus- es are much more crowded on the weekends than in the middle of the week, so it appears no more than common sense that we arrange our traveling in midweek, so all going and coming must be done on ,Wednesday and Thursday. Where the trip is arranged by car, the other days in the week may be used, but not Sunday. é Tt will make jit more convenient, however, if all vacations are ar- ranged to start, say on Wednesday and return two weeks later on Thursday. We hope that vacations will not be the one and exclusive topic of conversation from now until the opening of school next fall. We have many other .recreations and pleasures - the swimming _ pool, picture shows, picnics, ball games, parties, to mention just a few - but when the children talk about vacations: too much, those who are not going to have a place to go become very unhappy. Some of thle very young ones almost be- come sick over it, and it is not very pleasant to even visit the smaller cottages when each one is clammering about vacations or “batayshuns” as the smaller ones eall it, So we would like to impress on relatives, friends, and _ children not to allow the vacation idea to occupy too much of their think- ing and talking, and we'll all be happier.

The Freshman Class presented “Ten Per Cent Tommy” under the direction of their home- room teacher, Miss Reba Thomp- son. Those taking part in the play were: Bennie Gregory, as Tommy Ballinger, Ida Belle Dunn as Tommy’s mother; Mary Ann Ryder, Lee Vinson, and Hannah Price as his sis : Helen Hawley as the girl friend; Jack Caldwell, Earl Allen, Dwight Spencer, Bud- dy Lippard, and Horace Denton as Tommy’s boy friends; Toni De- Lancey as the fruit peddler’s daughter; and Myrtle Rushing as the maid. The second of the plays, under the direction of Miss Ruth Trout- man, English teacher, was “Buddy Buys an Orchid”. In this one-act comedy Buddy Bradley was play- ed by Hervey Stricklin; Mrs. Brad- ley, his mother, by Lillie Belle Smith; Alida, his sister, by Bette Lou Williamson; Belle, the hired girl (and very black. by the way) by Mabel Vinson; and Bill, an ad- mirer of Alida, by Paul Burney. Ail of the members of these two classes who did not have parts in the plays were on various com- mittees that helped to make the} evening a very enjoyable one.

The principal parts were played by Hazel Creech, Geraldine Katen, Pattie Inman, Billy Black, Jimmie Harrison, Franklin Smith, and Lin- da Inman. All of the primary chil- dren took part. something wrong with that young- ster that ought to be attended to. We took him to the hospital in the wee, smali hours of the morn- ing; he was on the verge of pneu- monia; had we delayed just a few hours, he might have been des- perately ill. There will be a number of chil- dren returned to their homes this summer, Arrengements have al- ready been made for the following children to go home: the four lit- tle Browns who have been here just long enough for everybody to fall in love with them - Vallie, Clara, Pauline, and Andy. They came here when their mother was quite ill, their father was helpless to look after them; now their mother is well, and they, together with their still younger brother, are all united avain at home. Clay- ton and Peyton Miller from up in Ashe County their father has remarried, recstablished his home and needs those little youngsters to liven up the house. We don’t blame him for wanting these two attractive boys at home again. Wilbur and Evelyn Coats - their mother remarried several years ago, she is living in Baltimore and finally has a home large enough to take care of these fast growing, attractive young people. Charles Smith from Lumberton - he will be eighteen vears old in August. He has decided that there is not much point in staying because Uncle Sam will tap him on the shoulder before he really gets started in his final year of school. He wants to visit relatives and friends and then join up even be- fore his 18th birthday. Our paper this month is pretty weli loaded with pictures of the graduating class and the ews about those leaving. Our next is- sues will have something to say about the newcomers. Alumni News VISITS. During the month we have had visits from James Shepherd and the Stone family - Joy, Bernice, and Marvin. Marvin, who is a first lieutenant in the Air Corps, has completed his 25 missions over Germany and France, and for a time he was stationed in Ireland as bombardier instructor. Marvin received the Distinguished Flying Cross and the air medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters. Roland Hooten, Herman Clark and his wife were also among the visitors.

PERSONALS The Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel of April 28rd contained nictures of the Beshears boys and a writeup of them. This writeup said that another message had been received from J. D., it read as follows: “Dear Brother: Again I have the opportunity and pleas- ure of writing you. This message leaves me in good health and hope it finds you the same. I hope and peay il won't be long until we are together again. Our living quar- ters are as good as could be ex- pected in the conditions and cir- cumstances. Hope to hear from you Two Recitals Given By Music Department The 1944 commencement season at Barium Springs began the last week in April with two recitals by the music department. The first of these was given by the piano pupils of the elementary grades Tuesday afternoon, April 25th. The program began with the Star Spangled Banner as arranged by R. M. Stults, played by Mabel Mil- ton and Shirley Inman at two pi- anos. Others taking part on the program were Hazel Creech, Shir- ley Thomas, Peggy Neel, Louise Campbell, Lucile Stinson, Ann Wicker, Jackie Porterfield, Patty Inman, Elsie Vest and Mary Mor- gan. Thursday evening, April 27th, the second of these recitals was given by the high school piano pupils of Miss Greene, assisted by the glee club, and Miss Carolyn Vidal, violinist. The following high schoo] pupils took part in this recital: Lillie Belle Smith, Myrtle Rushing, Billy Everett, Helen Hawley, Charles Smith, Dixie Lee Buie, Dewie Belle Buie, Bette Lou Williamson, Hannah Price, and Martha Price. These recitals gave evidence that much has been accomplished this year in both piano and vocal music. Miss Greene, piano teacher, and Misses Vidal and Cherry, musical members of the regular faculty, are to be congratulated for their excellent work. Honor Roll soon. Your brother, James.” —— Dalma Jessup who has_ been missing in action over Germany since February 25th, has just been reported a German_ prisoner, and we are all much relieved. A letter came from Robert Blue of Burlington that his brother, Miller had been wounded in action and that he has been awarded the Purple Heart. “For meritorious service while serving as a member of a Marine battalion in action against enemy Japanese forces on Namur Island, Kwajalein atoll, Feb. 1, 1944. Fac- ed with extremely heavy enemy small arms fire, he led his men forward to an advantageous posi- tion and there skillfully organized a defense which secured the right flank of his battalion. His heroic and courageous conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval service,” said Admir- al Chester W. Nimitz, commend- ‘»* none other than Marine Sgt. Miller Blue!

Jackins, Jackie (Continued On Page Three) pastor of the First Prebyterian Church of Albemarle. H e based his message on the story of David and Goliath as found in I Samuel 17: 44-50. He began his message by saying that David was not the only one who faced giants in life. “You Seniors have giants to fight. Whether you slay them or they slay you depends on how you are trained and equipped.” The choir for the service was made up of the High Scool Glee Club and Junior Choir. The Glee Club sang the anthem “The Heav- ens are Declaring”. -Beethoven. The sermon to the young people Sunday night was preached by Rev. W. B. Heyward, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Kannapolis, and Chairman of Presbytery’s Committee on Young People’s Work. He used as his text, Matt. 6:33, “Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God and his right- eousness.” Two anthems, “Great is thy Lover” by Carl Bohn, and “Send Out Thy Light” by Gounod, were sung by the Junior Choir. All the Seniors took part in the Class Day Program at eleven o’clock Monday Morning, May 15. An original skit, prepared by the Seniors with the help of Mr. Kee- ver, their home-room teacher, showing’ the members of the class in a situation in which they might find themselves at some future time, was very cleverly used as a background for the class history, prophesy, will, and class gifts. Among the gifts was a check presented to Mr. Johonston to be used in some way in memory of the class, if and when a new gymnasium is built at Barium. Mabel * = @© & oc p e e a a. in May 1944 THE BARIUM MESSENGER SS S Cottage News BABY COTTAGE Hello Friends, Here we are again having to sit quietly while we get all our little happenings together so we can write to all you nice folks. School has been out almost a whole week and we have been hav- ing fun playing out in the warm sunshine with the clean dirt tick- ling our bare feet. The swimming pool opened to- day and we bet it won’t be long now ‘till we are in there doing our part of the splashing. Mrs. Massey has been in Geor- gia for two weeks with her sister who is sick. We miss her just lots and hope her sister will soon be well so Mrs. Massey can come back to us. Pauline and Andy Brown have gone home to live with their dad- dy and mother. We sure will miss our good times, but we are glad that they can go. They said that they would write to us, so we al- ways run to Lilly when she comes from the post office. Charles Creech found a turtle and gave it to Richard Vest. He put it in the grass and it snapped at little Charles Bowles. Charles didn’t run, he said, “I can go fast- than a turtle.” While we were playing in the er nest with four little blue eggs in it, but we didn’t bother it. Mrs. Cook invited her Sunday School Class to a party. We went to her house, played games on the | pretty grass and she gave us can- dy and cake and ice cream to eat. ed down by her house and Shirley thought they were Lilly Bryant who came to the party to see if we had been good and had used our manmers. Well, sitting here is awfully hard for Little Donnie, who says, ' “Nina wanta go” and that goes for the rest of us. We'll see you! again next month. : —tThe Babies. RUMPLE HALL We see the close of a lot of things this month; the seniors are leaving us and we all hope to pass to another grade. : I will venture to say in a whisp- er “We'll be so happy when school is out”. : We have looked with longing eyes at the swimming even on cold days. Soon we can feel the coolness of the water after a hot day. We have had one of the most elaborate May programs at Ba- rium that we have ever had. Mar- garet Bullard was May Queen and the queen in the play was Vivian Jacumin, The attendants in the play were Nellie Isenhour, Ann Pope, Francis Rhyne, Evelyn Coates, Virginia Hendrix, Dorthy Shepherd, and your reporter, Annie Star Langley. The teachers did a lot of work for it and we sure do appreciate it. We only wish that you could have seen it. Our matron, Mrs. R. A. Thomp- son is leaving us, we sure are go- ing to miss her. She has been faith- ful to us she has put her very best efforts in trying to make us the kind of girls you would be proud of. Cood luck to you Mrs. Thomp- on, mas Rumple Hall Girls PRINTING OFFICE All is quiet before the storm. When I say that, I mean every- thing is under control before we start trying to put out the Barium Messenger, the Annual, and a few other odd jobs at the same time. The “printer’s devils’ Johnny Meroney and and Donald Mitchell have been shining up the equip- ment for occasions to come. : James Reid has been puttering with the mailing list getting everything under contro] before the storm. Mr. Martin, the shoeman, is tak- ing it easy since summer slackens up the shoe trade. Everyone is feeling like they have a load off their mind since schoo] jis out, and are looking for- ward to vacations and summers’ joys. si —Earl Allen. "h BOY FROM BARIUM SPRINGS The Mooresville High School invited seniors from several dif- ” day with them. Among these were our seniors. This was called Vo- cational Guidance Day. One girl was so struck when she saw one of our boys that she wrote a poem and sent it to the editor of the Mooresville Trib- une. Here printed. My Dear Mr. Editor: { am sending you a poem after the vocational Guidance Day at the Mooresville High School. I would like to dedicate it to a sen- ior from Barium Springs High School from a student from Moor- esville High School if it be thy will Mister Editor. is her letter as it was I was sitting there in chapel Just thinking over things, And standing there behind me His hair was dark and wavy His shoulders broad and square, And his face was refreshing As the coo] autum air. Oh! my heart how it flutters, And my heart how it sings When anyone does mention The boys from Barium Springs. His eyes were as dreamy As the twinkling stars at night, And his whole personality Was like a shining light. Some thought that day boring, 3ut in my mem-o-r-y it clings, . ‘ For that’s th ay irst saw play woods we found a little birds} = ee coe Sey F first saw, | The boy from Barium Springs. We have been debating which one of the senior boys it is talk- ing about. See if you can make a decision. Honor Roll _(Continued From Page Two) Liverman.

C., JUNE 1944 No. 9 Life at Barium | Through the Eyes of the Children) A few months ago the young | people in one of our churches be- | came much interested in the life here at Barium. Certain of _the young people, through their Pas- tor, wrote suggesting some very interesting topics which] they wished discussed in letters. They requested that the letters which dealt with a topic be sent to the person who suggested that topic. And in suggesting a topic | they added what they wished to| be covered in the discussion of it. For instance: The _ first Topie suggested is “The Children.” The writer wishes to know the number of the children, the age limits, and about the life in the cottages. The next topic is “The food.” That topic comes from a boy. He_ wants to know “How much it takes to feed, how it is done, how cooked, how served, etc. We are publishing these letters as we feel that there are many other young people and older ones too who will be interested in the discussion of these subjects. The writer of the two papers which we publish this month; grad- uated from the Home this past spring and have left us. We are Meet the new treasurer, Rev. R. glad that we can share with you the description of the Home as seen through the eyes of young people who lived and were brought up in th Home. CHILDREN OF THE HOME I am glad to know that you are interested in knowing about thle children of the home, and I shall try to give you the best informa- tion in answer to your questions that is obtainable. I shall take each cottage sep- arately, starting with the cot- tage where the younger ones stay and finishing with the cottage where the older ones stay. There are twelve cottage on the campus. By observing the life in one cottage you will have a picture of the life in all of the cottages, except for minor exceptions which I will call to your attention as I mention the cottage. The three cottages where the younger children live have the same life records. The BaBy cot- tage has the boys and girls of ages from two to six. There are at pre- sent nine baby girls and twelve ba- by boys. The boys of the Synod’s Cottage are the next to the babies. There are twenty five boys in this cot- tage, and they are from six to ten years of age. The Annie Louise Cottage keeps the girls who are from six to eight. There are twenty five girls living at this cottage now. As I said be- fore, the above three cottages mentioned have the same_ kind of work, but I haven't told you what their life at the cottage is. Those who live at these three cottages have little or nothing to do except to keep their teeth brushed, hair combed, and their faces clean; this ends their part of the work. S. Arrowood - a thoroughly North Carolina product, born in Iredell County, Elmwood, back in the lush ‘90’s when so many good things happened. He has lived in North Carolina ever since except for a brief pastorate in Virginia, and for a year as chaplain in the services during the first World War, a gra- duate of Davidson, the Class of ‘13, was assistant pastor in Salisbury and held pastorates in Glenwood near Greensboro and in Concord. He was President of Mitchell Col- lege for one year. At present he is Stated Clerk of Concord Pres- bytery and is already well known to many of you. His family, besides REV. R. S. ARROWOOD Mr. Arrowood, consists of Mrs. Arrowood; his daughter, Katherine who is now ready for college; an- other daughter, “Dickey”, who is just entering high school, and a son, Bobby, the “boss of the ranch”, who is about ready to enter the kindergarten, and Mrs. Arrowood’s mother, Mrs. Murray. We at Barium are delighted to have this splended family living in our midst right in the center of things. Their home is the Boyd cottage, between the office and thle Lottie Walker building. Mr. Arrowood is supplying for Mr. Cook during the month of June. Invasion News — “That Sunday Punch” The time is 9 A. M. Sunday, June 18th, listening to the news of the world, all dressed up and ready to go to Sunday School, but just waiting to get the last war news before leaving the radio. We had been thrilled all week with the doings in Italy where a whole lot of Barium boys are in it up to their necks, with the news in the Pacific where our boys are cutting up didos in the islands that are getting nearer and nearer to Ja- pan, and also that bombing of Ja- pan. We had been wondering, though, where that old Ninth Division was. We had listened to the in- vasion news from England and read about the exploits of this di- vision and that division, but noth- ing about the Ninth Division, and we knew that that was one of Eisenhour’s finest. We couldn’t help but think that all the invasion so far was that 'Bisenhour’s just leading with his left, that he had his right hand In Lee’s Cottage there are now thirty boys whose ages are from ten to thirteen. The majority of these boys work on the truck farm. The other help keep the cottage clean. Over at the Howard Cottage we! have the girls whose ages range | from eight to twelve. There are, twenty eight of them, and their) task is to string all the beans and | shell all the peas that are eaten at the home. In later life if these} girls can’t do anything else, thev | can certainly string beans and shell peas! Rumple Hall, being situated in the middle of the campus, happens to be a main building, for it is here that the kitchen, dining room, place to do the dish washing, and home of the girls who are from eleven to thirteen years of age are; also the teachers live up on third floor in this building during (Continued On Page Three) |a Sunday punch is, ask cocked for a real knockout blow, a “Sunday punch”, if you please. If any of you folks don’t know what some of these Jack Dempsey admirers. Well, as we sat listening to the news over the radio, here is what it said: “General Bradley’s army, spearheaded by the Ninth Infantry Division, has broken clear across the Cherbourg Peninsula to the sea a daring advance made during the night”. and when the news came in, this division had already re- pulsed a determined German coun- terattack with two divisions. Atta boy! That is the division that was trained here at Fort Bragg and so liberally sprinkled with Barium Springs’ boys that it just had to be good. They did monumental fighting in the landings on_ the west coast of Africa, they distin- guised themselves in Tunisia and climaxed their campaign there by | taking Bizerte; then they put on a demenstration in Sicily just to prove to Hitler that the best he had wasn’t good enough to stop the old Ninth Division. You don’t have to wait til Sun- day to deliver a “Sunday punch”, but the news coming in on Sunday morning was just too much to be a coincidence. They had finally landed their Sunday punch, and part of the German army had ceased to be useful on account of it. Every newspaper account that you read has the name of some lo- cal boy in it, so many from Dav- idson College that they will have the whole area turned Presbyter- ian if they stay there long. Frank Niven was in this morning’s bul- letin; John Bolin is another. It seems that this particular section of North Carolina is hav- ing one of the most severe hot spells in its history. The thermome- ter says that Sunday, the 18th of June, was one of the hottest days ever recorded. We wouldn’t know; as long as the radio was bringing in news from any direc- tion, it might have been snowing or cycloning for all we knew about the weather If any of y' this article get the war is not i folks who read uneasy for fear going right, just keep your ears cocked for the old Ninth Division. When it is opera- tion, it is going to arrive at its desiination. You know, that is the Division that the Berlin broad- caster referred to after three at- tempts of th Hermann Goering Division to stop it; he said the rea- son the Germans could not defeat the Ninth Division was becattse the Ninth was made up of gangs- ters from New York and Chicago and they didn’t care if they killed themselves. Well, they made a mistake about what it is composed of but they didn’t make a mistake about its being unbeatable.

Much credit is due the Churches, Sunday Schools and Auxiliories whiose care now flourishes twelve months in the year. It is important that we do all we can in these days to create a margin of safety that, if'and when another period of depression shall befall us, we may not find it nec- essary to again begin to do busi- ness on the “insolvent plan”. One thing we can do these days is to redouble our efforts to economize and wisely use each dollar that is given. It is not easy to be saving now. Everything costs more. Mon- ey is being freely spent all around. Still we must make every effort to husband our resources and be good stewards of the money given to our institution. Another thing we can do is to maintain the level of giving. The church at large must not get the idea that this in- stitution is being flooded with money and has more than it can use, such is not the case.

Every- thine was lovely except one small item - there were three big bird pended or if through misunder- standing the support of this in- stitution were reduced, it would not be many months till we would be in finanical difficulties. The Board of Regents confidently ex- pecting that the support this year will equal or exceed the year just ipast has prepared a budget which ‘allows for a modest ballance of about 10 per cent of receipts over expenditures. Not that this home which is run on faith in God and His people should every be a rich institution, but that we may wise- ly and thriftily direct the affairs of this home, so that we may. in the most efficient way possible, provide for the children under our care. Another Joseph was the efficient manger in Egypt who in the seven years of plenty prepared for the lean years. If we are wise we will profit by that example. tirv barn, but there were many ngs they wanted that they didr have, but they were enth tic and appeared headed for better times. The su- perintendent is doing something that has nev been thoroughly tried out in in North! Carolina, and I doubt if it had been tried out in any Southern state, and that is, to look to the colored people them- selves for the support of their in- stitution. If you go into the chapel or the office, you will find pic- tures of prominent and rich white people. Mr. Duke, _ for instance, gave them the school building: others have donated and helped suppert the institution. Unfor- tunately when these men died, others have donated and helped there would be no one else to take up where they left off, so the sup- port of this institution has been more or less uncertain. Now in an ever increasing meas- ure, Mr. Hamme has been success- ful in interesting his own race in supporting it, and I believe I can already see an improvement in the morale and in the general atmos- phere of this worthy institution I wish it were possible to reach the ear of every colored man and woman in the state and tell them my insistence that they soiling their clothes, and the apol- ogy that one made when he had to hurry away to a class and was not able to stay and finish the job. I didn’t pick the soldiers who rode with me; they were privates, of- ficers, Northerners, Southerners, Westerners or what have you - they were all likeable boys, ex- tremely appreciative of the small courtesies accorded them. Well, to sum it all up - the old United States has been at war for nearly three years now; it was getting ready for war a good while before that. If war hasn’t done any better job driving out kindness and courtesy from the hearts of people than this trip gave evidence of, there isn’t much use to worry about what might happen in the future - a _ pretty good old country, nice folks no matter what their color, their age, occupations, or where they came from. When I came back and told the Ration Board about the trouble with the tire, they didn’t raise the roof but gave me a new tire, so I couldn’t have been dreming all that I have written, here; may- be you don’t have to go to Europe think they are good for not risk} s babies”. (He was getting ready to eat us' green berries.) It has been hot these days and we spend most of our time down in the cool playwoods. Dorthy asked little Donnie if he were a mess and his answer was, \“Yes, and my daddy’s too.” Well so long folks we will see you again next month. —The Babies JENNIE GILMER Hello Everyone, It has been quite some time since you heard from us but we will let you hear more often from now on.

The girls in this cottage have a heavier burden be- cause they are now big enough to take charge of one. They wait on tables, clean up the dinning room, wash dishes, and see that every- thing is in perfect order for the next meal. They do this three times each day, and then when the dif- ferent banquets are held, they are always entitled to more work. In all we have three big occasion which eall for more work on their part: the Kiwanis supper, and the foot- ball and basketball banquets. But even with all this to do, they like } Chickens - 60 (fried). | Apples - 4 bushels. | Sugar - 25 pounds for cereal. The food is cooked in the kitchen and served in large bowls, which are placed on the table by the waitresses. When a table asks for a second helping or a third help- ing, the waitress goes to the kitch- len and gets more for them. There are usually between forty-three and forty-seven tables. Each table has eight places to be filled, and a matron or teacher sits at the head of each table. Usually we stay in the dinning-room a half hour. Af- ten every one eats and leaves, the waitresses then eat, clean the ta- bles and wash the dishes. Although I’m not the dietitian, or even an assistant, I hope I have given you the main facts which will help you to know more about the food situation at Barium. Respectfully yours, Jeanne Fletcher Box: Are you going to study singing as you intended? Cox: No, I gave up the idea when the teacher convinced me it would take me three years of hard work to enable me to sing as well as I it and feel it is just their minorthought I sang already. nell to Le the Holts and the} Traywicks Belmont, the Lan-| drums and the four Hudgins to} Charlotte, and the four Katens to: Lexington. k Jones to Kinston, the three Manus children and Toni Delancey to Charlotte.

He concluded by say- ing he was thankful he had never been corrupted by contact with such institutions. Whereupon the bishop asked him if he meant to say he was thankful for his ignor- ace. “Well, yes,” said the young man, “you may put it that way if you like.” “My observation is,” said the bishop, “you have much to be thankful for.” “Mose, yeu lazy rascal, do you think it right to leave yeur wife at the washtub while you spend your time fishing?” “Oh, yassuh, mah wife doan need no watchin’.

Johnston from the War follows: The Secretary of War asks that I assure you of his deep Sympathy son, Lt. Jos. Dept. in the loss of you Col. James D. Johnston. Report re- states he died tw ; nine wounds received in action. Letter follows. Ulio Adj. General Lt. Col. James D. Johnston was seriously wounded on June 20th, 1944, in the fight for the taking of Cherbourg. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Johnston, of Barium ceived June in France as result of LT. COL. JAMES D. JOHNSTON Springs received a telegram July 9th, 1944, from the War Depart- ment informing them that their son had been seriously wounded. The whole Barium Springs Com- munity was shocked and saddened by the news. For one so young, Col, Johnston had a most interesting and color- ful career. He was a_ graduate of Davidson College, having fin- ished in the Centenial Class of 1937. Being his father’s son, he was a most enthusiastic football player. He belonged to the “Seairt o’ Nuthin” team of 1936 that went up against the best in the state with one regular substitute. Having taken advanced R. O. T. C. at Davidson, Col. Johnston held a reserve comission. He went into the Army on Christmas day, 1940, with a rank of first lieutenant and took further training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He had his orders to go to the Philippines and was home on leave when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was then sent to Fort Benning, Georgia, where he was run over by a tank, escaping miraculously. He landed in Safi, Africa in 1942. He saw much action in Tunisia. At this time he was awarded the Silver Star. The incident giving rise to this signal honor occurred when as Company Commander, he was given Command of the Second Bat- talion whose commanding officer was missing in action. The cita- tion states: “Without fesitation, and with utter disregard for his personal safety, Capt. Johnston passed through heavy artillery fire to recover a vehicle and reach- ed the unit. Upon arrival, he re- organized the battalion and with oustanding coolness and courage commanded throughout the entire engagement.” The Silver Star medal is a bronze star having at its center an oak star, wreath and small silver (Continued On Page Three ee Published by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home For the Information of Its Friends BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., JULY 1944 Growth of the | Memorial Funds The history of the growth of Funds here at Orphanage during the past few years is a most fas- cinating one. If we go back to the tiles of the Barium Messenger we find that twenty years ago per- haps a half dozen people in this con arose, sent a check to the Orphanage in memory of a deceased friends. At that time it was listed as Mis- cellaneous Support. For many years such donations did not aver- age more than one per month. In December, 1943 a our Memorial Presbyterian nunity, when occasion seperate : a ; neading was given to these funds and they were designated at Mem- orial Gifts. There were four mem- | orials that month almost ten years j 2Z0. It is interesting to note that i there is listed in the June Messen- 1944, sixty-seven ’s the memorials. we} Pe largest number of orials yet received in any one April, } } ' ' | montn | 1944, i In 1935 Mr. Milton distributed |a leaflet among some of the friends ; of the Home on the appropriate- jness of such memorials. A was eighty-five in copy »f Dr. Walter L. Lingle. That, and some other observations, which Dr. Lingle had made led him to write an article in his column in the “Christian Observer” in the issue for June 5, 1935. He entitled his article “Instead of Flowers”. This article was reprinted in the July 1935 issue of the Barrium Messen- ger and has since been issued in pamphlet form and hundreds of copies have been distributed. The next year a blank for the use of those desiring to send mem- orial gifts was published in the Messenger and it has been appear- ing since that time. A large per- centage of our memorial gifts are accompanied with the blank clipped from the Messenger. A careful search of the pages of the Messenger reveals that not until 1941 was there an article on the Memorial Fund printed in the Messenger. That story told some- thing of the growth of the fund since its beginning. The fact was mentioned that in the church year of 1932-83 seventy eight dollars was given the Memorial Fund while in 1940-41 the amount given was $1,592.75. It is interesting to observe that in the church year 1943-44 that government bonds with a face value of over fifteen thousand dollars were added to our Memorial Funds. In October, 1942, The Board of Regents appointed a special com- mittee to make a study of the Mem- orial Funds and to bring in a recommendation at the spring meeting as to what definite ob- ject should be named for which the undesignated Memorial Funds would be dedicated. This committee reported to the meeting of the Re- gents May 12th, 1942, and made the following recommendations which were adopted by the Board of Regents. 1.

Some} sections are alarmed and some are| hysterical, | A number of regulations have | been set up to prevent the spread! and to control this disease. These regulations have affected orphan-|! ages very much. In some orphan- ages all going and coming has been forbidden. No new children! are being received. No children are being allowed to go on vacation, and those that have already gone on vacation cannot come back. In some places day nurseries have been closed and the children are required to remain in their home surroundings. In almost all local- ities the assembling of children under thirteen has been forbidden, which has stopped Sunday Schools! for the most part, and _ schools! that ordinarily would be starting up at this time of the year. These things are all, of course, intended to prevent the spread of the dis- ease by keeping children from different localities from mingling together. There is a question, though, as to whether the closing of these normal gathering places doesn’t give rise to other contacts that may be just as dangerous. Grownups sometimes forget that children are going to move around. They aren’t going to stay where you put them. If they can’t go to picture shows, can’t go to swim- ming pools, can’t go to Sunday School, can’t go to day nurseries, they aren’t going to just sit still! in their homes with their arms folded and not make and contacts with anyone. We at Barium Springs have tried to inform ourselves in every } t t | way possible about the disease; what has been done to check it, what has been done to cure it, what should be done if it strikes, and we've tried to govern ourselves according to these findings. In our investigation we found out some rather remarkable facts. The most striking and to us. the most comforting is this: that chil- dren in orphanages apparently are immune to the disease. They’ve’4 been so few cases in ail the or- phanages that it might well e said that it just doesn’t strike) orphanage groups. From this it appears that whe re | children are constantly in groups. that they build up some personal protection that we do not know! Knowing this, we have not attempted to cur- tail our own gatherings of our own children. We continue to oper- ate cur Sunday School, we con- tinue to allow the children to use much about yet. he swimming poo]. In deference to the neighboring towns, we do} not allow the children to visit the picture shows. In the first two instances, Sun-! day School and swimming pool,! children, we'd be faced with the | they do not come in contact with | other children; in the picture shows | would. We're going to have our camps on the Catawba River, Camp Fel- j just as usual. The only difference from other years is that we will not invite outside children to participate. It’ll just be our own Barium Springs crowd. We let our children go on their vacations in the early part of the summer. When the epidemic reached the proportion that the whole state was alarmed, we ceased to grant additional vacations, and the children are all coming back and by the end of this week, va- cations will be over. We’re con- tinuing to take in new children, and in* doing so we are not attempting to flout the recommendation or the practices of other communities. We're simply trying to weigh one hazard against another. Let us give you an illustration. An application came to us a short time ago from a home in which the mother was tubercular. There were nine children altogether in- volved. The key to the situation, however, was four. We were told that if we could take four children here, that the three older children could be provided for among one set or relatives, and another re- lative would take the two youngest, and then the mother would be free to go to a sanitorium.. The sanitor- ium was ready for her, but she would not go and could not go un- til provisions were made for her children. Now we know that the longer the children had to stay in this rather small home where the nother prepared the food, slept in the same room with thefm and in other ways came in contact with them, that every day that they continued there, it constituted a hazard on the safety of all the children. Would we be justified in continuing that hazard to protect our institution from the remote hazard of these four children bringing infantile paralysis here? We know that tuberculosis is ex- tremely contagious. We know that somehow infantile paralysis is not so universally contagious. The fact that in the majority of fam- lilies that polio strikes affect only one member of that family is evidence to that end. We are not accepting children where their advent can be delayed for a month or two without creat- hazard for continuing a | their welfare, but where there is a real hazard in their present situation, we do not feel justified holding them out until we feel perfectly safe about polio. We have not put a ban on vis- iters coming to see us. If we did put a ban on that, it would result in many people being disappointed. | mighty God. For no matter how many papers you publish it in, some relative will fail to see it. Then in event | that we attempt to put the han on, and relatives would come from a far away place like Wilmington or New Bern expecting to see the problem of either denying them the priviledge of seeing the children NGER Page Two or else being rat infair to those | nearby that we did not turn bac a We've had pract ly no. visits} from children, and we believe in| that way we are carrying out the| spirit of the po] quarantine.

She came back from this! visited was very It was al little vacation and was a little up-| set and had to spend a day or two, at the infirmary, There was noth-! ing serious about her slight ill-| ness. She did run a little tempera-| ture. She was upset - possibly lived too high while she was away. She got it into her head that she had polio and one night about 3:30 A. M. she came into the nurse’s room terribly distressed. She said, “Mrs. McNatt, I’m paralyzed. I can’t move a leg or foot.” The fact that this little thing had walked the whole length of the hall and was standing on her feet when she was talking to Mrs. McNatt hadn’t apparently entered her mind. She was so sure that she had _ this dread disease that she couldn’t get away from the fear even in her sleep. Some children are la- boring under fears that may be far more dangerous for their fu- ture welfare than the actual dan- ger of polio. How many cases are there in North Carolina? Something over three hundred. How many chil- dren have been seriously ill from measles during the last twelve months? We’d venture to say five times that number and yet we didn’t get excited about it. Right here at Barium where a number of people are dreading polio, we had within a week's time _ three very serious accidents. By the grace of God no permanent in- juries resulted but the cars on the highway, the tempting apples in the top of a tree, the temptation to do something daring at the swimming pool, all constitute more real hazzards for the general run of children than the much ad- vertised polio. If you don’t believe, it, get down your figures. We'll | even enter the innocent looking bath tub as being a more lethal weapon of destruction than the polio germ taken year in and year out. Don’t get the idea that we are belittling this thing. No one who has ever seen the result of a sin- gle case of polio ean treat that disease lightly. Death is a terrible thing to think of in connection with a little child, and yet we are trying to not be so afraid of one thing that we'll back into some- thing more dangerous. There are many things that need to be watch- ed and sometimes we will let the bars down for one danger in our excessive zeal in trying to pro- some other danger. We are trying to stay on an even keel at Barium and not forgetting that with the doctors, with the foundations and with all the other efforts made for the control of this disease, that God is still in His heaven and he still answ and he still af- We will do all our children, but rrying to Al- tect ourselves from rs prayer fords protectior we can to prote will leave the We Would Be Worthy There are certain tasks from which it is never possible to whol- ly divert one’s thinking.

During the month of June, I was priviledged to be at Montreat for a period of rest and change, but no day passed that my thoughts | did not, again and again, n to Barium where it is my task to fur-| nish the spiritual leadership for| the more than 300 boys and girls of that, institution. Ih my thinking I have tried tc honestly evaluate our Barium pro- | gram. I have’ been wondering | Just how worthy is that program, and just how worthy those of us who belong to the staff of workers, are, of the confidence that has! been placed in us by the Presby- terians of North Carolina. I have no doubts about the worthiness of our program. To put it briefly, we are seeking to pro- vide that sort of program that will] most surely enable the boys and| and girls committed to our ase! to grow as did JESUS, “in wis- dom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” We could have no worthier program. But what of the manner in which that program} is being carried on? Each day, there must be thou- sands of Presbyterians in North Carolina who think of us at Ba- rium. Are we worthy of their consideration. Each day, those same thousands remember us at His great throne of grace. Are we worthy of their prayers. Almost every day in the year, gifts of one kind or another reach Barium. Are we worthy of the tremendous sacrifices of time, thought and effort, represented by these generous gifts. Today, with our country at war, and more than 200 of our own boys and girls from Barium in our Armed Forces, it can be said that men and women each day are giv- ing “the last full measure of de- votion” for Barium. Are our ef- forts at Barium worth dying for? Presbyterians of North Carolina, I believe I express the sincere feeling of all who labor here, when I say that we would be worthy! Keep us on your hearts. Continue to send in your gifts - but above all else, PRAY for us! PRAY that we shall become increasingly worthy of the confidence you have placed in us. More important still, pray that we shall merit the con- fidence in HIM, Who said, “suffer the little children toi come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven”, and Who more than all others has enriched childhood. Rev. Tom C. Cook Pastor of Little Joe’s Church j j | Old Morgan One of the most unique charac- ters and one of the best friends a boy,ever had was Old Morgan. He had his faults, as most people do, but his virtures were many. He had his peculiarities and eccentricities as most people have but he served his generation well and d useful and respected member of society. aad lied a Old Morgan was a horse. We called him old because he was old- er and had more sense in some ways than we boys who worked him. Also “Old Morgan” was some- thing of a term of endear ment. teverend Robert S. Arrowood bought him while living at Cool! Springs in Iredell Morgan helped mave the family and lived there for ten years during Mr. Arrowood’s pas- county. Old | torate in Rowan County Old Morgan was a big rangy black horse. He was never very fat; he worked too hard for that. He was never very poor; he was too well fed for that. Old Morgan was a versatile horse. For many years his chief duty was to take Mr. Arrowood to his appointments and on his rounds of visiting in the homes of the people. Old Mor- fan was no race horse but his rangy legs covered the ground at Coitage News RUMPLE HALL This is the Rumple Hall girls bringing you our news for this month, Most of our girls went on va- cation this year, All of us had a good time our friends and relatives. Everybody is back ex- ;cept two girls and they are due today. We all have been going in swim- ming nearly every day. We are sorry that Betty Dishman fell off the back of the pool and broke her wrist. She is down at the infirm- ary. We have been going down to see her. We are so anxious for her to hurry and come up. Miss lardin’s sister, Grace, spent a few days with us. We en- jcyed having her so much. Last Saturday Misses Hardin, Everett, and Lorene Brown took us down to the spring for a pienie. (Continued On Page Three) a good rate of speed in those days. In summer he pulled the buggy at a steady trot. In winter when the roads were deep in mud, the bug- gy was put away and Morgan was saddled. Under the saddle he was a pacer and carried his two hun- dred pound master with security and ease. Mr. Arrowood did quite a bit of farming on the _ thirty acres which belonged to the manse and a large farm which he bought. Morgan was a plow horse of su- perb quality. If it was needed to take a load of cotton to the gin or corn to the mill or to haul a load of wood Morgan was hitched to the wagon and could pull all that the wagon or harness could stand. We spoke of his faults, Morgan had two major ones. He was an in- dividualist. It irked him to be hitched with other horses. Put him to a reaper with three or four other horses and he would get in a very sour humor and he accom- modated his pace and direction to the other horses only after much persuasion of his driver. His dis- position would be bad for a week afterwards. Morgan’s other fault was that he would occasionally run away. If it was cold weather and he had not been getting plenty of excercise and he had a boy on his back; he would take the bit in his teeth and run a half mile or so for the fun of it. It was more serious when something went wrong with the gear and he would run till he broke loose from every thing. That only happen twice, however. He was a well known figure in Rowan Rowan County in those days. He carried Mr. Arrowood to his appointments so many years that it is said, (I will not say by whom) that he knew, without a rein being pulled, to turn right ? of the manse on _ the second and fourth Sundays to go to Third Creek and Cleveland Church! es; and to turn left on the first and third Sundays to go to Frank- lin Church, m iront When Morgan was still hale and hearty at eighteen years of age, Mr. Arrowood left Rowan County. Before he left he presented Mor- gan to Barium Springs Orphanage. So Morgan was the first one from the Arrowood family to work at Barium Springs. A couple of years later Reverend A. Shorter Cald- well who was at that time repre- sentative of the Home came by to See us. We asked him how Old Morgon was getting along. Our hearts were saddened to learn that Old Morgan had eaten too heartily of some fresh cut millet and was dead; but that, before his passing, he had made quite 4 place for him- self at Barium Springs; that to the last he took delight occasionally in taking the bit in his teeth and running a piece for the fun of it. Yes, he was a horse. cc i e O e a ae e Be eo na ie da n t e ee oe & FA > Se o pe o Oo of GA D wim- are l off > her ‘irm- n to - her race, } en- rdin, k us eniec. ays. y at the ug- was was 2un- rity uite irty nse ghit. su- 1 to 1 or load to that and. in- be Put our ; in om- | to uch dis- eek pult ally had ‘ise he and fun 1en the oke nly July 1944 Growth of the (Continued From Pige One) 4.

Lt. Col. James D. (Continued From Page One) awarded under congressional au- thority for gallantry jin action in any war. The second battalion with Ma- jor Johnston commanding was first to enter the city of Bizerte. For this feat his outfit was given the usual distinction of being the Guard of Honor for the king of England on his visit to Bizerte. This gave rise to the famous con- versation when the king asked Ma- jor Johnston how his men kept so clean in that climate. Major John- ston replied: “By using plenty of elbow grease, your majesty.” It was necessary for Major Johnston to further explain the American idiom “elbow grease”, as King George had never heard it before. After a further campaign in Sicily at Randazzo, he was sent to England. There he was promoted to Lt. Col. At the time he was wounded he was in command of the 2nd Battalion of the 47th In- fantry in the 9th Division. Col. Johnston is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Jos. B. John-| ston of Barium Springs; his two sisters, Mrs. D. W. Morris of California; and Ensign Leila D. Johnston of Jacksonville, Fla., his three brothers, Lt. R. Z. Johnston of Louisiana; W. L. D. Johnston of Batesburg, S. C.: and Captain Jos. B. Johnston Jr. in the { Corps in Africa. medical The following was clipped from a service paper. “The veteran Ninth Division from Fort Bragg, N. C.,” of which Col. Johnston was a member “received official credit for breaking through to the west coast of the Cherbourg Peninsula and cutting France. The 9th Division scored this first big victory of the Nor- mandy campaign after the drive to isolate Cherbourg had _ been started by the 82nd and 101st Air- borne Divisions and the 4th Divis- ion. The 9th took most of its early training at Fort Bragg under Lt. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, now com- mander of U. S. forces in the Med- iterranean. Under Maj. Gen. Man- ton S. Eddy, it landed in Morocco during the North African invasion, fought at Maknassy and was the' first infantry division to enter Bizerte.

Many of the staff are gone; many new staff members are with us for the first time. In the children there is an even marked difference. You won't find nearly so many large children here as when you were here before. In fact, in ’41 we were still grad- uating classes of 30 and 40 peo- ple. Now our high school hias dwindled due to the fact that the war fever hits us when the young- sters are around 17. There are fore little children here, and you will be seeing many of them for the first time. There are two organizations here that we didn’t have before, the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, and these two organizations will make it their special business to look after your comforts and to be at your beck and call.

The Presbyteries which united to form Carolinas the Synod of the were Orange in Nerth Carolina; the Presbytery of South Carolina and Abington Presbytery in Tenn- essee, At that time there were nin- isters in Orange Presbytery; elev- en in the Presbytery of South Carolina; and seven in Abington Presbytery; a total eight. The Synod of the Carolinas ad- journed sine die at New Provi- dence Church October 5, 1812. The first meeting of the Synod of North Carolina was held at Ala- mance Church, Guilford County October 7, 1813. Twelve ministers and three ruling elders were pres- ent. They were Reverend Messrs. David Caldwell, Robert H. Chap- nan, James W. Thompson, William Paisley, Robert Tate, Murdock Mc- Millan, John McIntyre, James Hall, Samuel C. Caldwell, John M. Wil- son, John Robinson; Elders, Hugh Forbes, John McDonald, and Wil- liam Carrigan. Dr. James Hall preached the opening sermon on the text “Go ye into ali the world and preach the gospel to every creature”, The Synod at that time was composed of three Presbyter- ies, of thirty-one ministers, with of twenty- eighty-five churches and about four thousand members. It was from a repor of the agent of Education given at the Synod in October 1888 that the following resolution was adopted, “Resolved, That, in th udoment of Synod ne s come te } ‘ VK establish- nen f Urp } ' nir ’ is i it cor ittee appoin rh matter in to consider and execute wl putt h enterprise ei ‘ is rT} wa } , } Syn- a i ] 2 ad Hospit i ate instit ch had en ma in Charlotte for several vears to care f children.

Ti.is commission sent out a cir- asking for its opinion, The project was ap- proved unanimously and offers be- gan coming in of sites in various parts of the state. Synod met in Charlotte in 1889 and approved the idea of establishing a Home. They elected the following Board cf Regents to direct the affairs of the Home: Mecklenburg Presbytery— Rev- erend Wm. Mcilwaine, George Wilson, Esq., Mr. John E. Oats. Concord Presbytery— Reverend J. Rumple, Mr. G. M. Love. Orange Presbytery— Reverend the resolution memopyial a were referred to cular to each Presbytery -| am Wilmington Presbytery— Geo. I hadbourne, Esq. Fayetteville Presbytery— ferend D. D, McBryde. bemarle Presbytery—- Hon. D. Rev- G. Fowle. ‘ This Board of Regents was di- rected to take over the group be- ing maintained in Charlotte and to purchase ten acres of land near Charlotte and there open the Pres- byterian Orphans’ Home. Although a tract of land was bought near Charlotte the Home was not es- tablished there and the land was sold, But in 1891 the Regents bought the old hotel property here at Barium from Davidson College together with thirty-two acres of land for the price of $1,000.00. The old hotel was repaired and furnish- ed for $1,222.58. So when the Home opened for its twenty children, 16 girls and 4 boys, the total invest- ment was $2,222. Reverend R. W. Boyd was the first superintendent here at Ba- rium. His salary was $750.00 per year, Mrs. Boyd was employed as matron on salary of $150.00 a year. The first time Synod ever met at Barium was in 189/. The meet- was convened at Salisbury. Dr. Rumple, pastor at Salisbury, had been chairman of the Board of Regents from the beginning. So Synod came over from Salisbury on November 5, 1897 to Barium that they might dedicate a new build- ing which on the program was called “Center Building.” This was done to give the chairman the de- lightful surprise which came when 58. a the name was announced as “Rum- ple Hall.” Distinguished men on that program were Dr. J. M. Rose, Dr, J. B, Dr. Thorn- well Jacobs. Again the Synod visited Barium met in Char- set Shearer and n 1911. Synod jlotte.

In 1941 for the ‘irst time all the sessions of Syn- d were held on the grounds of the Home. Three hundred and _ fifty- six ministers and elders were reg- istered for that meeting of Syn- od. In this sketch ef our controlling Synod we have seen something of its growth from its beginning till the present time. Of the seventeen Synods which compose the Presbyterian Church in the United States, Northi Caro- lina is by all odds the strongest. Virginia is next in strength. Of the 2562 ministers in the southern church 409 are in the Synod of North Carolina. Of the 3.500 churches, 549 are in North Caro- ! ind In eae ointiy 92 36 Synod was D. I. Craig, Hon, A. M.

For all causes the Synod gave in the church year ending March 31st. $376,793.00 more than for the year ending March 31, 1943, and there were 679 more added on pro- fession than on the year previously.

She’s had an ap- pendicitis operation and has heen with us three weeks. Could be that she likes us? We were so sorry to hear of Jim Johnston’s death. He was a good friend to all the children and a real soldier too. School will start the end of the month. It certainly will seem good to have the teacher back with us. We've had a grand vacation but we are always glad for school to begin and to end. Our little friend, Jimmy Harris is two years old today. We hope he’ll understand that all the little spankings he gets today are only “love licks.” sick- te ( ness since it SYNOD COTTAGE We have a little new bov added to our big happv family since we last wrote vou. His name is James Andrews. He already seems very much at home and he says he likes Page Two Preacher Paragraphs | By Rev. T. C. Cook “. . Let us provoke one another unto love and good works, not for- saking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of is.” Heb, 10:24, 25, You see Lord, it is like this - we could attend Church much more faithfully if your day just came at some other time, but you have chosen a day that comes at the end of a hard week tired out. Not only that, but it’s a day foi- lowing Saturday night. Saturday afternoon and evening is the on¢ time that we feel we should enjoy go town shop, then to the movies, or may- some when we are all ourselves, so we to and be a party, and often it is around midnight, or after (especially if we go to a midnight show) when we reach home. You have chosen the very day we need most for sleeping late. We find it hard to get the children off to Sunday School in time - get- ting up so late. It is usually after ten o’clock before the dishes done, and by then it is time to get busy with Sunday dinner. I mean no disrespect and do not claim that my judgment equals yours, but you must realize that you have picked the day when the morning paper is bigger than ever and takes longer to read thorough- ly. You must also realize that on Sunday we have the biggest din- ner of the week. Then too, we feel we must think about poor dad. He’s cooped up in his office all week, and Sunday is the only day he has to do a lot of things that he can’t do during the week. He wants to get out in the open. He needs the fresh air and sunshine. When the weather’s good, he gets with his friends for a round or two of golf - sometimes a little fishing trip. If the weather’s bad, he feels he must tinker with the car. And. of course, when he gets into his old work clothes and gets his hands all greasy, its hard for him to get cleaned up for Church. We could go, of course, but we hate to leave him at home all alone. I’m telling you these things, Lord, because I want you to see sur viewpoint and that it is not our fault that we are not able to get to Church. We want to go, and we know that we ought to go; we know that we promised to “attend upon *, but it must be clear ou after this explanation that he real reason we cannot r having chosen the wrong day are its ordinances to ¥ go is . If you will select any shall be further of the w other day of the week, we glad to give the matter consideration. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help us to the Sabbath to keep it holy.” Help us to know that if we will keep Thy Day holy, we shall be kept holy. AMEN. “remember Day, to live with us. We have been to camp and al- though we couldn't go swimming, we had a good time boat riding, going on hikes and playing. Some one gave us some of the best peaches and we have enjoyed them so much. We have also had sonie mighity good grapes and ap- ples. Miss Taylor will be back from her vacation next week. We have missed her and we hope she has had a good time. Every one has had a vacation and we have had a very pleasant summer, so now we are looking forward to the open- ing of school. Good bye folks, —The Wigglers.

(Continued From Page One) so that everyone could have the news right hot off the press. We will) have some papers this year before. The restrictions on news print make it but not so many as impossible for the publishers to grant us the courtesy to the ex- tent that they did before. As we write this, we don’t know whether we will have the free soap the free cigarettes. We are a- fraid that the surplus of both those articles has gone to war, but there will be soap and towels and hot water for your use even though none of you may stay over Satur- day night. We hope you will enjoy every- thing we have. You should get a special enjoyment out of the pil- lows you find on your bed. It| might interest you to know that these are saved for your exclusive use. We chillum here at Barium don’t use ’em. We keep ’em just for you. We have had a lot of repairs to be done, and as usual, we have tried to hurry them through to have them entirely out of the way be- fore you come so we could look composed when you did come. It has been more than usually dif- ficult this year. Material is scarce and hard to get, and workers still harder. Those fine college boys we used to depend on so much, to help with the repair work during the summer have also gone to war. We have very little new in the way of building to show you at this time, but we do have plans, and we hope each of you will have time to look at the things we have in mind for the immediate and the distant future. Money is coming in in memorials for our church. We feel sure that this church will be in sight when the war is over. The money for the Children’s Village has been com- ing in in liberal amounts, and we might say that the building of the Children’s Village is assured in the near future. The third project which we need is the gymnasium. A few donations have been made to that, but noth- ing like in the amounts that en- courage us to think that we will have it scon.

We hope we'll have at least that many this year, It will do us good; we believe it will do you good. Our opening games in Charlotte have always been interesting and all the more mteresting from the number of people who fill up our side of the stadium to cheer us on. There are a lot of Presbyterians in Mecklen- burg County; if you come out to see this game, you can depend on it that your family at Barium Springs will not let you down. We hope you won’t let us dwn. Our complete schedule follows: Sept. 15: Harding High, Charlotte. Sept. 22: Albemarle at Barium. Sept. 29: Thomasville at Barium. Oct. 6: Asheville at Asheville.

(Continued From Page One) gives us first hand information from over a hundred of our boys and girls who are serving in the service of this great nation, After our evening meal, the ol- der boys and girls have a_ social hour and a half together. We usual- have one special friend to be with at this time. We have a very interesting and enjoyable sports’ life. In the fall and winter we have basketball, football, and wrestling. In the summer we have baseball, solfball, tennis, and swimming. The biggest part of every summer and the thing most looked forward to by all of us is our vacation period. Before the war most of us spent two or three happy weeks with our “home folks”. This year, due to lack of transportation. we all spent two weeks out at our camp on the Ca- tawba River. This camp was given to us by the Fellowship Club of Charlotte, so we named it Camp Fellowship. Our camp consists of two bar- racks, one for the boys and one for the girls, a kitchen, a dinning hall, and a pavilion. We have several boats or canoes which were made here. On rainy days we eat in the dinning room, but generally we eat | outside. We have an outside fur- | nace where we prepare our meals evening meal our pastor or Mr Johnston conducts a vesper service in which interesting talks Afterwards we sing or prese nt | dramatic skits, and sometimes we have vistors special programs.

The boys of the senior class are! also invited. The girls prepare all the food themselves and decorate the drawing room. It is always a lovely occasion, and it is looked for- ward to by everyone concerned. I was especially interested in it this year, because being a senior, I had a definite part in it. Over the weekends we take long hikes and have Usually every Saturday afternoon a group of us girls and a worker hike to Statesville, a distance of five miles, go to a movie, and then hike back home again. groups and grades have picnics either at the spring or at Camp _ Fellowship where we used to spend our camp life. On special holidays we have par- ties and celebrations. One of the loviest parties takes place at Christmas. All of the students, teachers, and workers are invited to the school house. In the center of our auditorium is a huge Christ- mas tree, beautifully decorated, and under the tree is a Christmas box for each of us. We sing Christ- mas carols afterwards and enjoy ourselves immensely. In closing I will tell you of the matches made by our home grad- uates. Approximately eighteen couples have been married after leaving Barium. I will give as examples two couples I have in mind who represent the fine stand- ing our graduates are making in life. One of Statesville’s most ideal couples is graduated from Barium; they have a lovely family of chil- dren and they are known and loved by many people. The other couple is living here on the campus; they have a beautiful child. The hap- piness of their married life together is a joy to all who know them. picnics, Various So you see our social life here at Barium corresponds very close- ly to that of an average community.

The rest of the dairy, about one hun- dred and fifty acres, is taken up by pasture land. I hope the information which is contained in this letter is adequate for your purpose. | another -|Miss Mary Turner (Continued From Page One) |long Miss Turner has been work- ing with us. She came here as a student matron. Her first regular assignment was Synod Cottage, and while there, Miss Kate Taylor. student matron, worked under her for awhile as an assis- | tant. Later on Miss Turner moved to Lee’s; then for a time she was Rumple Hall matron; now she is | kitchen matron. A more faithful, concientious, de- pendable person has never worked for Barium. We wish there were a whole flock of just such people as she is to draw on for all vacancies that may arise here. When the boys return from the fighting fronts or wherever they may be, there are two people whom they always look up - Miss Turner and Miss Taylor: and they are quite ready to admit that they owe much to these fine women. Our hats are off to Miss Turner - and our bibs tucked in, too, by the way. We salute you and praise you with every mouthful we eat. We know that Miss Turner is human, so we don’t think we had better go any further in this eulo- gy. If we told her what the youngsters said about her while she was away sometime ago, we know that there would be no doing with her. She would just have to get conceited. They missed her from her cottage, and they missed her from the kitchen, and _ theie were mighty good substitutes at both places.

Mr. Andrews visited Clyde, Annie Marie, Idel and Carol Jean today; they are his little folks. Mr. Thomas brought us some grapes and they are green but they are ripe, too. That’s funny.

Dr. Reed gives back to the early days of the eight- teenth century. Reverend R. C. Reed, D.

With victory for the Allies in the war in the air, the home mission conference program adopted “Vic- tory” as its motiff and the ad- dresses and testimonies were all based on successes attained in the work during the past year in church extension, in city, rural and industrial areas, Negro work: evan- gelism, and benevolence.

The first school is now Amay James church. Rey. J. W. Hassell reported marked success in his new work in the mill section cf Goldsboro, and Dr. W. C. McLauchlin said his industrial work at Burlington is quickly becoming selfsupporting. Rey. I. M. Ellis, Gastonia, said the three outposts of his church were flourishing. Karl G. Hudson related the suc- cess of work in Wake county. There was only one presbyterian church in Raleigh in 1910, with 450 mem- bers. Now there are four other churches and 2,800 Presbyterians. H. H. Littrell, Rocky Mount, told of the rapid growth of cutposts near his church. Rev. Marion Bradwell. pastor at Reynolda, wes asked to describe his evangilistic work outside of his church in holding meetings, and said he held about four a year. Dr. Gillespie said 47 other pasturs had done similar work, held 60 meet- ings, and there were 400 conver- sions, with 300 joining the Presby- terian church. Rev. T. B. Ruff, Old Fort, gave an exhortation on Evan gelism. Phases of Victory. Besides the impromtu speeches, there were set addresses describ- ing successful work in various fields. W. Erdman Love, Charlotte, a building contractor interested in chapel work, told of erecting chap- els out of abandoned church build- ings and school houses. He men- tioned one on Beatty’s Ford road called Erdman Love chapeel, Avon- dale chapel, soon to be an organized church. South Park chapel, all in Charlotte, and Unity chapel near Polkton built from materials of the old Polkton church, which is now called the Hawley Memorial. Rev. G. Dana Waters spoke on the Lord’s Acre plan for rural churches, in which each member sets aside a portion of land, or one hour’s wages for church work. It enlists all members, gives poor peo- ple a chance to do something and appeals to the people outside the church. This plan pays debts, helps get full-time pastors, increases benevolence, and develops co-oper- ation. Proceeds ought to be dedi- cated in a harvest Thanksgiving service. It needs a zealous leader. Rev. N. R. McGeachy spoke on Negro work. There are 981,000 Ne- groes in the state, less than half in churches, one-fifth in Sunday School. Northern Presbyterians have done more than Southern. The U.S.A. church has 132 churches in North Carolina, with 10,138 members: while Southern Negro churches number three with 111 members, There are now six mis- sions to Negroes in the state. Negro Methodists in Charlotte number 5,490, and Negro Baptists 3,946. He exhorted revival of work among i Negroes. The conference asked that | Mr.» McGeachy’s paper be mimeo- graphed and distributed to mem- bers of the conference. Rey. R. H. Charlotte, said the cities of North Carolina have over 27 per cent of the popu- lations and are growing fast. The cities have 38 per cent of the church members. He spoke of several new churches in Charlotte and several in prospect. All the cities offer great opportunities, Rev. I. M. Ellis, Gastonia, spoke of the value of music in evangel- ism and pointed out the need of gospel songs as well as church hymns. Mr. Ellis had charge of the music of the conference. Spec- ial music was furnished by a min- isterial male quartet and a Negro girl chorus from Fairview Homes, Charlotie, Kar] Hudson, Raleigh, on behalf of W. H. Belk, Charlotte, told of the work Mr. Belk has done with his benevolence to home missions in North Carolina. He told of the J. M. Belk Fund contributed by the various department stores in the Belk Brothers cnain, and how they give brick for new churches. Mr. Belk himself makes many con- tributions to churches and work- ers and his liberality has multi- plied churches and members in Union county and many other places. Stone, Addresses Heard. The opening address of the con- ference was delivered by Dr. J. R. Cunningham. of Davidson, who stressed the importance to the home mission cause of temperance, in- terracia] understanding and good- will, and a durable world peace. Dr. Cunningham said the church must be concerned with all these things. The Negro asks for eco- nomic opportunity and social jus- tice, educational privileges and participation in a government to which he pays taxes and gives his life. Two devotional addresses were made. Rev. Marion G. Bradwell, | Reynolda, spoke of devotion to Christ, and Dr. J. A. Redhead, Charlotte, of relying on divine sup- port and having something to stand for. Dr. H. H. Thompson, Baton Rouge, La., the director of Evan- gelism for the church. pointed out the vacillating record of conver- sions of the whole church, and exhorted the church to advance in evangelism by holding special meetings in every church during the period chosen in March, keep a continuous program of evangel- ism going every Sunday, and stim- ulate personal work among church members. He said the Southern Presbyterians have proposed 50,000 conversions as their goal for this year. Dr. Thompson spoke again along similar lines at synod’s meeting, when Rev. M. O. Sommers, Ra- leigh, reported as chairman of evangelism. Mr. Sommers said con- versions numbered last year in the synod 3,407, which was an increase ia! Geachy’s address on the THE BARIUM MESSENGER is 25 per cent. Synod pledged Dr. Thompson its full co-operation, and set as its goal 9,500 new members by conversion this year, in the Presbyterian Evangelistic Crusade, Mission Report. We wish to combine with this story the report made on home misions to the synod. But before we give that report, let us note the findings on the conference. This report given by Rev. T. C. Cook. Barium Springs pastor, re- quested the publication of Mr. Me- Negro Work, urged the conference to take a stand against the liquor traffic, to co-operate with Dr. Thompson in evangelism, urged multiplication of outposts and missions, expressed appreciation to the family of Rev. A. M. Earl for the donation of his thanked Dr. Gillespie for the splendid library, and and Mr. Stone program of the conference. An exhibit furnished by Rev. O. V. Caudill, Winston-Salem, showed pictures of new church buildings and manses arected in the synod recently, Rev. J. W. Witherspoon, Lex- ington, chairman of synod’s home missions, presented the 56th an- nual report to synod. This report shows 54 workers received aid from the committee, a full-time evangelist, Rev. R. K. Davenport held 12 revivals, with 82 profes- sions: and 34 additions, and 47 pastors held 65 revivals with 400 professions and 300 additions. Dr. Gillespie, the superintendent of home missions, has managed the home mission office whiche also handles the assets cf home mis- sions as well as the collections, and other funds, emergency home missions, defense service, and ed- ucational institutions, and served as a bureau for the pastor re- vivals. About $47,000 was paid out for home missions which includes funds reserved for future use, about $7,514. Dr. Gillespie edited and distributed 30,000 copies of Presbyterian News to 7,500 fami- lies in the synod. This office hand- les about $100,000 a year. Fourteen church and manse pro- jects were aided to the amount of $4,930. Dr. Gillespie was re-elected to his office for two years, and Rev. R. J. Davenport was re-elected evangelist for one year. Rev. D. T. Patrick, Kings Moun- tain, is the new chairman of sy- nod’s home missions. The conference adjourned at noon Tuesday in time for the synod to open the same day at 2:30 p. m. Killed In Action (Continued From Page One) went into battle, he did not want to fee] responsible for other lives than his own, that the responsibili- ty of leading a squadron is enough without feeling that an error in judgment or a mechanical failure might cause him to be even slight- ly responsible for the lives of other members of his crew. We can imagine this lad in his last battle as a brave leader, hunt- ing out danger spots himself and protecting the other ships of his squadron whenever possible - sure- ly a noble leader of men! While we at Barium will never again see his face, we will cherish in our memory the high ideals and the brave deeds of this fine young man. Bruce’s mother lives at Cleve- land, North Carolina. His widew and her parents live at Barium. Bruce had two sisters younger than he at Barkim, two older than he who never came to Barium. These older sisters helped Bruce with his education, and he most generously helped his younger sisters with theirs. Surely we must all be bet- ter men and women for having accepted for our protection the life of this young man. A movement was started at Synod to honor those Barium boys who have paid the full price. At this writing there are eight boys. Synod voted to perpetuate their memory in a memorial, a gymna- sium, and the thought behind this is not just a. matter of raising money for a building, but it is in having a building here erected in memory of these boys who in years past, by their devotion and brav- ery, made possible the athletic de- velopments of the young people at Barium. The things that made them good athletes here after- wards made them good soldiers. It is hoped that in building a gymnasium to their memory, we may capture in seme way this fine spirit and transmit it to their younger brothers and sisters in the years to come. Could anybody ever become a coward who is trained in a gymnasium erected to the mem- ory of boys like Bruce? Could ahy- one ever be a slacker in a game, in war, or in the other affairs of life if he has passed the portals that had on them the list of names of these boys who will never come back to us? We hope that before many years have passed this building will be erected. What could be a more fit- ting memorial? Newcomers (Continued From Page One) living in Kannapolis. They say they like it here. From the grin on Kenneth’s face, we are inclined te believe them. David Jones - from ’way down in New Bern, a brother of Jack Jones, by the way, and he felt right at home from the first day he landed here. The Andrews family from Kan- napolis - Janie, James, Charles, and Annnie. Yes: you guessed it - Janie and James are twins. All four of these youngsters came to Barium wearing a smile. They greet you with that same smile every time you are near them. They look more serious in this pictuure than you will ever be able to find them otherwise. We are behind in our introduc- tions; there are this many more whom you haven’t met yet, but just keep watching. Their pictures will appear in a later issue of the Mes- senger. Life at Barium (Continued From Page One) plied by four large girls and two matrons, who keep the house clean, do the mending of their clothes and keep the children clean. When children first enter the orphanage, they are taught how to make their beds and keep their clothes in cor- rect order. Outside of this’ they have no other duties to perform. Annie Louise girls and Synod’s boys are the same age, ranging from six to eight years. These children do very little in the way of work. They ake their beds, keep their clothes neat, and some of the older children help with the sweep- ing in their cottage. They also keep their play grounds clean by picking up paper every morning. Two large girls and one matron are in both of these cottages to per- form the necessary duties. In Howard and Lees’ cottages the ages vary from nine to eleven. The Howard girls are better known as the bean stringers. Of course this gives away their occupation. They string enough beans to last the year round which is a very large quantity. They do no other work outside of keeping their own building clean. All boys at Lees’ cottage work on the truck farm with the exception of about four boys who do the house: cleaning. They have a matron in each one _Page Two of these buildings. Rumple Hall girls serve the tables and do the dish washing. Each girl waits on two tables, and there are seven students and one matron or teacher at each table. The Jennie Gilmer boys who are the same ages as the Rumple Hall girls work on the dairy. Lottie Walker is the building that girls live in during their four years in high school. The boys live at the Quads. All senior girls work in the sewing room. They make clothes for all children who do not receive a clothing box, aprons for girls to work in- sheets, play suits and other things that may need to be made by them. The girls in eighth, ninth, and tenth grades work in the laundry and kitchien. During the winter there are three negro women who do the washing of the clothes. We have two wash- ers which the clothes are washed in; the girls iron after school. Two girls work at the mangle where all flat work is ironed such as pillow cases, ete. The other girls work in the kitchen. Two girls fix break- fast every morning, and the diet- ition helps. The Quad boys have different kinds of work: the farm, the repair group, who fix all win- dow lights that are broken out and build the boats which are used at the camp, and repair buildings. Two boys are on the plumbing group. I have not gone in detail and explained certain work due to the fact it is being explained as separate subjects, the dairy, the farm group, the kitchen, and the serving of the food. I hope that this information will prove of value to yor and that I have answered your question satis- factorily. Respectfully: Peggie Lou Buie. School. In answering your request for information concerning our school work, I am happy to tell you my opinion of it, We are proud of our school system here at our home, Barium; and I’m glad you made in- quiries concerning this very im- portant phase of our life. We have two separate school buildings on our campus, one the grammar grade scheol, to which grades one through eight go; the other, the high schoo] where grades from nine to twelve are included. The eighth grade is not consider- ed the freshman class; this title goes to the ninth graders. The school is a state school with more teachers than are allotted by the State hired by the orphanage. In the primary school there are teachers for each grade with a separate music teacher, piano teacher, and a physical education teacher, who also teaches the kin- dergarten. The high! school is altogether dif- ferent from the grammar school. We have the State required sub- jects and in addition a two-year Bible course which is not required by thee State but by the orphan- age. The electives are third year Home Economics, Glee Club, So- ciology and Economics, Basic Math, Public Speaking, World History- Geometry, and a Safety course. The total number in both schools is two hundred and eighity-six. I have enjoyed writing this iet- ter, and I hope that it answers your questions. Respectively yours, Grace Adams. “Yes”, admitted the optimistic salesman, “business is booming. This time a fear ago my order book was half empty; now it’s half full.” Gloria: “Was your uncle’s mind vigorous and sane up to the last?” Harold: “I don’t know. The will won’t be read until tomorrow.

T. C. Cook Has Your Candle Gone Out? “Thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.” Psalm 18:28. Archibald Rutledge, in his book, “Home by the River,” has a chap- ter entitled, “Its a Dark Business,” in which he tells of some of the interesting experiences he has had with the negroes. He relates a con- versation he had with an old darky who was on his way to Church. On parting company with Mr. Rut- ledge, the old negro said: “And now, I must go light my candle by His fire.”” How we do need to pon- der the truths contained in that quaint remark! Our spiritual candles have be- come as smoking flax. The proph- ecy made by. one of England’s statesmen on the eve of the last world war has well-nigh become fulfilled. Our churches, our social relationships: and our homes have been blacked out. The lights, phy- sical and spiritual, have gone out, pretty much everywhere, And un- til we as Christians bring our candles into contact with “His fire”, our world will be plunged in- to ever-deepening darkness. Our candles can burn again with a bright flame. David, again and again suffered spiritual blackouts, put he was willing, again and again to have his candle rekindled from above. And God, as often as David came to Him, lighted his candle and enlightened his darkness. What God did for David, He can and will do fer us. There are some things, however, that we must do ourselves. We shall have to repent of our sins, individual and corporate. We shall have to stand with David. with the publican, and with the prodigal. We shall have to cry as they did: “Have mercy upon me, O God. Be merciful to me a sinner. Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned.” Once we have sincerely uttered such a confession of sin, God will hear, He will forgive, our candles will burn again with a bright light and we shall have re- stored unto us the joy of His sal- vation. Like the old negro, we can make our way to the House of God. Faithful attendance upon the ser- vices of the Church will keep our candles from going out. Many a Christian can trace the beginning of his spiritual decline to the day he began neglecting God’s House. We can spend some time each day with God’s Word. Daily medi- tation upon the Book that tells of Jesus the light of the world will keep our candles burning brightly. “The entrance of” God’s Word “giveth light.” We can spend a while each day in prayer, and we must, if we would keep our lights burning brightly. A physical candle cannot burn without air. Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath. It con- tains the spiritual oxygen that feeds the flame of the soul. It is no wonder that Jesus said, Men ought always to pray and not to faint.” If we don’t pray we shall faint. Paul discovered this truth, hence his injunction: “Pray without ceasing.” Stop breathing physically and the body dies. Stop breathing spiritually and the soul dies. Jesus, the “Light of the World” is most merciful. “A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smok- ing flax shall He not quench.” Let us go to Him. poor smoking flax that we are, at best. Let us feel “His fire.” Only thus can our lamps be trimmed and burning bright. Only thus can we shine in a world that is so desperately in need of light just now. Early History of the (Continued From Page One) 1755 that there were 14 congrega- tions in North Carolina desiring pastors. Reverend Hugh McAden came to North Carolina in that year of 1775. He had been licensed in 1755 by New Castle Presbytery in Pennsylvania. He has left a diary which traces his circuit through the state and back again. His first Sabbath was on the Hico, August 3, 1755. He came on through the Piedmont by the Thyatira and Sugaw Creek Sections on down in- to South Carolina. He passed back ALUMNI NEWS WEDDINGS Mabel Shoaf was married to Mr. Edd Lyall on Tuesday, August 8th at York, S. C. BIRTHS Mrs. Walter Howe (Mary Parks Allen) has a little daughter who was born in Memorial Hospital in Charlotte on September 11th. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Lambert (Mary Duffy Coppedge) of Green- field Mass., announce the birth of a daughter on September 8th. PROMOTIONS Gene Shannon has been promo- ted to Ist Lt. Charles Fort has been promoted to Lt. Colonel. Gwyn Fletcher to E. M. 2-C, Jack Weeks to R. M. 3-C. PERSONALS Lt. Colonel Bruce Parcell has been reported killed in action over France; he was a fighter pilot. Bruce’s death was received as quite a shock to us here at Barium. We shall miss that fine boy. Lt. Colonel Charles Fort, who is now serving in France, has been given the Bronze Star. Prior to that, he was cited for bravery while serving in Africa. VISITS During the onth we have had visits from Walter Beatty, Ed and Mrs. Ed Oliver: Paul Reid, Leland Rogers, Hervey Stricklin, Billy Me- Call, Ernest Stricklin, Margie Lail, Junior May, David Spencer, Ray Clendenin. through the settlements of East- ern North Carolina and to Virgin- nia. Later he came back to this state to settle as pastor in Duplin and New Hanover counties. He was received by the Presbytery of Han- over and set:-ed in this field in 1759. The last meeting of Hanover Presbytery held in North Carolina was at Buffalo Church in Guilford County March 7, 1770. At this meeting an overture that the Pres- bytery of Orange be formed was granted. On the 5th of September 1770 in Orange County at Haw- fields Church the Presbytery of Orange was organized. The first settled pastor in the western section of the state ac- cording to Dr. Foote was Dr. Alex- andey Craighead. He was called to Rocky River and installed there in 1758. Other early ministers of the sec- tions were McMordie, Donaldson, James Creswell, Henry Pattillo, David Caldwell and James Tate and others. Dr. D. I. Craig tells us that the first meeting of a church court in the bounds of what is now the Synod of North Carolina was at “Lower Hico” Church, Person County, October 2, 1765, when the Presbytery of Hanover met there. There was present at Center at the organizations of the Synod of the Carolinas from Orange six ministers and six elders; from South Carolina, three ministers and two elders; and from Abington, one minister; eighteen all told. Reverend Dayjd Caldwell preach- ed the sermon and was the moder- ator of this meeting. In 1795 the Presbytery of Con- cord was set off from Orange by the Synod of the Carolinas and consisted of twelve ministers. The Yadkin River was made the divid- ing line. All east of the Yadkin comprised Orange Presbytery and all west in North Carelina belong- ed to Concord. The first meeting of Concord Presbytery was at Bethpage Church Deeember 24, 1795. In 1712 the Presbytery of Fay- etteville was formed from Orange Harding 13, Barium 0 Not An Upset But A Disap- pointment. As usual, Barium Springs open- ed the football season with a Char- lotte team in the Memorial Stadi- um in Charlotte on the night of September 15th. Z It was a perfect night for foot- ball and should have been an even more auspicious season’s opening game than it was. The relative strength of the two teams was about as usual. Char- lotte teams always have a larger student body to choose from; they usually have a week’s more practice before the starting game. - They have opportunities to scrimmage between schools and have access to the playing field so that, as a rule, they have some advantage over the Barium team, and Barium enters the game as the underdog. This year for some unknown reason, the Charlotte papers and the Charlotte schools played down the strength of-the Harding team and made them the underdog, con- ceding the victory to Barium by | two or three touchdowns. We couldn’t understand their reason- ing, because Barium has been hit even harder by the wer taking the older boys and by the younger boys enlisting, and at the present time Barium has the smallest stu- dent body of boys to get a team from and a younger group than they ever had before. Be that as it may, a great many people believed the Charlotte pa- pers. From the looks of the first quarter of the game, the Barium team believed it, and certainly many thousands of people in Char- lotte believed it because the at- tendance was less than half of the number that usually sees the open- ing game. Charlotte people do not like to se their teams pushed around. This is easily understandable, and they didn’t care to see Barium Springs defeat Harding by three or four touchdowns as was freely predict- ed. It took the first quarter of the game for the Barium team to find out that they were up against a real opponent, and finding this out was a painful procedure; it upset the Barium team to such an ex- tent that for a while, they forgot most of the football they knew. During the interval Harding scored two touchdowns: both touch- downs being set up by the Old Statue of Liberty play, something that we now jook on as “kinder- garten football”. All of this hap- pened in the first quarter, and at the end of that quarter, Harding was leading 13-0. From then on it was a real ball game. Fred Cole’s punting for Barium was _ some- thing beautiful to see. We didn’t get the full advantage of his kicks, because they were not well cover- ed and the runbacks were too liber- al. Barium’s passing offense was not so good, while Harding’s would have been a credit to a midseason team. The running plays of both teams in the early part of the game were poor except for those Statue of Liberty plays. Later on Barium picked up and the ball carrying of Earl Adams, Bennett Baldwin, Seott Blue, Fred Cole, and Gene Bounous looked good. Harding had the weight on Ba- rium, and they looked like they had the experience. While Harding does not have a regular coach, one of the ex-Central High coaches, Pasco Gettle, coached for that Fayetteville Presbytery had it first meeting at Center Church in Robeson County on October 21, KINGS MOUNTAIN S. S. SENDS MEMORIAL SUM TO BARIUM The Sunday School of the Kings Mountain Presbyterian church has shown its love for its beloved sup- erintendent, Mr. C. F. Thomasson by contributing to our Memorial Fund the sum of one hundred dol- lars to be added to our church building fund. We will carry this gift in our list of Memorials in next month’s Messenger. A country preacher was inform- ed that the congregation had voted to increase his salary $200. “Tell those good souls,” he re- plied, “that I cannot accept it, I have enough trouble now trying to collect my present salary.” Johnson: What’s wrong? Yor look awfully mad. Thompson: I am. Here I have been treating a patient for three years for yellow jaundice and now I find he’s a Chinese. Clothing and Clothing Funds DUE March Ist - Sept. Ist game, After the game the students of Harding High had an open house to which the Barium team was in- vited: and it was a delightful oc- casion. It was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Knox near the Harding School. It is interesting to much different a boy looks wear- ing his social smile than he does when he is wearing his football helmet. Barium Springs took a small cheering section, which didn’t func- tion too well; too many amateurs wanted to get in on it. Some had the desire to help, some with the desire just to have fun. The Hard- ing side was as little organized as Barium; their school had not opened at the time of the game, and many of the student activities hadn’t gotten started. One of the things was that band that always adds so much to the festivities. Taking it all in all, it was a good start for the season, handi- capped as everyone was by the late starting of school and the usual wartime inhibitions. The police force evidently had such confidence in the two teams that it didn’t show up at all, not that they were needed! note how Page Three Miscellaneous Gifts Barnhardt Bros., Charlotte, Brades, Mrs. Sarah Allison’s School, Kings Mountain, large supply marbles. ? 2? 2? ?

We delight to do her honor in our paper and to present her to our friends wherever this Messenger goes. g Many of you would recognize have met her face to face. her signature; comparatively few Here she is: The Inauguration of Reverend Malcolm Mac- Donald as President of Thornwell Orphanage A lot has been written and said about the emotional strain that a father goes through on the occasion of his welcoming his firstborn, and no one has ever yet exhausted that subject. Recently the writer was invited to attend the ceremonies having to do with some two hundred children , - acquiring a new father. The cere- monies were impressive; they had to do with greetings from friends } in the same linee of work, from| neighbors, from former officials, and from the Board of Trustees. and all of this was fine. He was told how he must raise money, how he must publicize the orphanage, and how he must ad- minister that big financial business wisely, but we were a little dis- appointed. There didn’t seem to be enough talk about the really im- portant thing, and that was the business of being a father to a big family of children, to be the per- son to look to as their protector, as the person to see that they are never imposed upon, as the one whose activities provide them with the good things of life, the pleas- ures as well as the necessities. As we sat through that ceremony, we couldn’t help wondering what was passing in the minds of those children during this formal intro- duction to their new father. Thornwell Orphanage has been extremely fortunate in its presi- dents - Dr. Jacobs, Dr. Lynn, and now this new man, Mr. MacDonald. Certainly this new president has much in the path to encourage and inspire him. He has a future that is unlimited in its possibilities. He will need all his mental and spirit- ual resources to handle the job that he has taken on his shoulders, and we hope that he will reserve time and strength for those per- sonal contacts with the children un- der his care that will mean so much in their lives and their future. All of us who are engaged in or- phanage work wonder what is in a child’s mind. During these war times a good many of us are find- ing out. We were quite impressed sometime ago in listening to a group of old timers - boys and girls who had assembled back here as men and women; they were dis- cussing what they remembered first about Barium. One of them stated most positively that he re- membered ’way back when he came to Barium as a six-year old that the superintendent had called him by his first name when he spoke to him that first day. That feeling of comradeship on the day that he needed it so much had stuck in his mind through all the years. We are willing to bet that the superin- tendent didn’t even remember the occasion that was so important for that child. of the very foundation stones of | j here atv Barium greetings.

Sept. 22—-Barium has _ played her second game, and it was a thriller. It was played on Sloan Field on 2 beautiful day before a nice crowd of friendly fans, many f them from Albemarle, During the game our old friend and neighbor, Bill Kirkman, came in with his Monroe boys, they be- ing en route to Statesville to play a game that night. We won't attempt to give you all the details of this Albemarle- Barium game; there were thrills a’plenty. There was a_ blocked punt ending in a touchdown; there were two touchdowns from passes; there was a safety; there was some} grand forward passing work on both teams. The blocked punt was recovered by Baldwin; the next touchdown Barium made was a pass - Baldwin to Adams; the last one - a pass from Baldwin to Hor- ace Smith. There were other pass- es - Cole to Baldwin for a beauti- ful one. There was some nice run- ning, Adams making the longest gain from scrimmage. There was some extra nice punting, Fred Cole engineering those things. It was a grand game with both teams determined, alert, and play- ing good ball. We can stand a lot of games like that, and we feel all the better for having seen it and participated in it. BARIUM 27, THOMASVILLE 0.

Doings (Continued From Page One) at all, but the crowd was mighty slim, and that’s a pity, because they missed seeing a grand game. Thomasville this year is a com- bination of Thomasville High and the Mills Home teams, and they have plenty of good, heavy mater- ial. By Barium’s good luck, they hadn’t gotten together too well when they played us, and we beat them 27-0 with each member of the backfield making a touchdown and completing three of the points afterwards. We really felt good after that game. We were a little bit asham- eed of our defeat at the hands of Harding and had a suspicion that it was our luck more than our skill in winning from Albemarle, but there is no doubt about our being superior te Thomasville. BARIUM 14, ASHEVILLE 33 Oct. 6—“A whole lot of ‘Hip’ and a little hipper dipper” was too much for Barium when they went to Asheville. There is a boy on the Asheville team named Hipp; he is the nephew of our Miss Laura Gray Greene, our music teacher. She told us to look out for him when we went up theree. Well, we did, but we didn’t look after him soon enough, because he took the ball on the first play after the kickoff and ran sixty five yards for a touchdown and almost broke our hearts. All during the game he was in “our hair” and over the goal line a good many times. He was responsible directly for three of the touchdowns, and it was be- cause we watched him so closely that the other touchdewns were made possible. Be that as it may, if we can just forget that first half, we didn’t look so bad. The second half was 14-7 in our favor with Bennett Baldwin making both the touch- downs but with John Ammons long arms having a lot to do with both. Earl Adams, with his ball carrying and Fred Cole with his kicking also contributed a lot. The next time we go to Ashe- ville we are going to start playing the game five minutes earlier, and maybe we can change the com- plexion of things. Both this year and last year Asheville has start- ed playing the game just a few minutes before we got into it, and! that accounts for a good part of the scoring against us. THE MIDGETS Our 85’s and 100’s journeyed to Winston-Salem an September 30th and played a couple of games with the Children’s Home. Our 85-pound- ers lost 13-0; the 100-pounders tied 0-0. On Saturday night, October 7th, our mixture of heavy 85’s and the light 100-pounders played a game with a similar team at Landis, and they ended up with a 6-6 score, the Landis team coming from behind and scoring in the last few minutes of the game to save themselves from a defeat.

This point is proven by the many letters received by Mr. Johnston. I only wish every child who doesn’t have parents could go there. There are many orphan- ages all over North Carolina and the rest of the United States which are probably as nice as Barium. We always hold dear the home of our childhood. Let me tell you a few things about the orphanage as I remem- ber it. I was five years old when I entered Barium. I am now thirty years old and many things have happened since leaving there. When I was there we arose at six o’clock in the morning by the ringing of a big bell. At six-thirty we all went to Rumple Hall for breakfast. Rumple Hall was the cottage where the girls who waited on _ tables lived. The entire first floor of this building was the dinning room and kitchen. Each table had a matron or senior girl to sit at the head. At seven breakfast was over. We had our own school which started at eight. School was from eight until twelve for the high school students. The grammar grades went to school from one until five. The other half of the day we did the work to be done. The smaller children at How- ard Cottage helped keep their cottage tidy. Then there were the girls of Rumple Hall who waited tables and washed the dishes with the aid of a dish washing machine. The older girls at the Woman’s Building did quite a few different jobs. For a few months some girls worked in the laundry, others in the kitchen and the Infirmary. A few worked in different cottages to mend clothes and other little things the smaller children couldn’t do. Each cottage had a matron. We would rotate jobs so as to do every thing. When you became a senior room learning to sew. Each child receiv- ed a clothing box twice a year, summer and winter. Quite a few churches and friends clothed some of the children. In the summer we alk had a va- cation. Some spent two weeks with relatives and others with friends who liked to take Barium boys and girls into their home for two weeks. All who did not go to either went on a camping trip to Lake Wacca- ; maw, Camp Fellowship or else- , where. We were glad of the vaca- tion but always happy to get back Our B team played the same night with the Landis Varsity, los- ing 14-0. In their game they evi- dently caught a habit from the Varsity’s playing in the Asheville game and allowed Landis to score a touchdown in the opening kick- off; another touchdown in the quarter from a forward pass. Af- ter that, our boys did most of the ball carrying and advanced the ball many more yards than Landis did in the entire game, but none of it happened to be across the goal line, so the score ended Landis 14, Barium B, 0.

I used to read a little magazine called “Your Faith” that carried each month a series of articles written by men and women who had prayed and whose prayers had been answered. Following are some of the titles of the articles: “When Death Came Close, I Pray- ed”; “I Prayed When I Was Drown- ing”; “The Ship Was On Fire and I Prayed”; “I Was On The Chain Gang and I Prayed.” These people, all, did well to pray.

The first pastor of that church was Rev. John Wake- field, who for a short time was Superintendent of the orphanage, also. He early realized that it was impossible to fulfill adequately the position of superintendent and pas- tor as well, so he took steps, to- gether with the Board, to secure pastor for Little Joe’s Church. Rev. W. T. Walker was the man secured, but by the time he actually came, Mr. Wakefield had died, and for a time Mr. Walker was both pastor and superintendent. Soom after this Rev. W. M. Walsh was called to the pastorate of Lit- tle Joe’s Church, followed in 1915 by Rev. H. M. Parker, D. D. Both of these men were pastors of Front Street Church as well as little Joe’s Church, This meant that the preaching service was in the after- on on Sunday, sometimes Sunday | School being held in the morning! and sometimes in the afternoon. This arrangement was not too satisfactory, and we rejoiced when in 1924 we secured a full time pas- tor, Rev. W. C. Brown, and in just hort time thereafter, a manse s provided for him on our cam- pu Since that time we have en- joyed the services of a fulltime pastor, and we believe that it has paid big dividends in the religious life of the campus and community. Mr. Brown served until 1938; since then Rev. T. C. Cook has been our pastor. Of course in speaking of the religious life of the place, we em- phasize the work of the church. There is where the work shows up, and there is where we _ receive members, but it is not the only re- ligious organization. There is the Young People’s League; the Senior Young People’s League was organized in 1924, and Miss Alice Alexander started out with the first organization. A vear later Miss Lulie Andrews took over, and she has continued until the 'and on Sunday morning the sup- present time as the efficient and| and on the surface he seemed to be loyal head of the Senior Young{a perfect leader.

Grier has been the superintendent for twenty five years. For the last fifteen years the Sunday School has been, divided, and Mr. Lowrance has| been the superintendent of the In-| termediate and Primary Depart- ments. This particular department has its classroom work in the Pri- mary school building. All of the rest of the Sunday School, except the Boy’s Bible Class, meets in the high school, and the entire Sunday School meets in the church for the closing exercises and church wor- ship. The formal religious exercises are the Sunday School and church service Sunday morning, Young People’s meeting Sunday after- noon, Prayer Meeting Wednesday night. During the summer when the Young People’s Leagues are not operating, there is a Sunday night service under the sponsorship of the Senior Young People’s group otherwise conducted by the pastor. In addition to these there are ecttage prayers, and for a number of years there was a chapel pro- rram in the mornings following breakfast. This last mentioned pro- gram has been discontinued for several years due to the fact that breakfast has become such a hap- hazard and poorly attended meal. It is really one of the prices we have paid for the changeover to the state school system. In lieu of that, there is a devo- tional period in the school each day, erintendent conducts a devotional in the dining room following break- fast, which is a little more pro- longed than the ordinary chapel program. Most of the religious programs are compulsory. Membership and attendance in the Young People’s leagues are not compulsory, and this gives us an indication as to the popularity of religion in the lives of the children here at Barium. There is one matter that we have to be extremely careful about: it is so easy to assume that the ob- servance of Christian habits and “going threugh the motions” of be- ing a good church member is the same thing as a sincere, heartfelt religious conviction. We have made mistakes along that line at Barium, and we have had some rather shocking things to happen. For instance, we had one time a president of one of the young people’s groups who appar- ently led a very devout life; he he would lead in prayer; he would devote much time to the programs, systematically stealing accidentally left his valuables where he could he was fronted with this, he did not see the inconsistency of his position. He had the idea that his religious At another time a child who led all the others in recitation of Scrip- chism, being the first to answer a Biblical question whether that question was made in Sunday School or church, was at the same time the most profane and vulgar in his ordinary conversation. thing else he might do otherwise | without his even being penitent | for these other things. 1 We have endeavi partments to correct this particular thinking, and this has caused us to lay less strength on the mecl anics | of religion and more on individual | responsibility, At } but we believe :; approach. “It is so easy in dealing with children to atte npt desire for perfection by forcing the children to do certain things. When we have visitors, for in- stance, it is so nice to see every child come into the church and sit down, fold his hands in his lap; then when they ask for the short- er catechism for each one to recite it perfectly, to go through the whole day’s procedure in a perfect manner. The praises of the visitors are very sweet in our ears, but the situation on Monday may not be quite so happy. Anyone who knows children knows that such perfect behavioy is the case only by the fear of punishment and the prompt administration of such punishment by any failure to ob- serve these correct conventions. In our religious life we have tried to put the responsibility on the child himself. In my own con- juch more since ee to satisfy our tacts with them in the class that I teach in Sunday School, attend- ance is voluntary. There are times when many are absent. I feel maybe I am not making the lesson inter- esting enough and that it is my fault more than it is theirs.

As a rule vé few of them stay away habitually, and we do have very gratifying evidences of | the sincerety of th desire to at-| tend. Children con age at the rate of 50 to 60 a year. In five years the nover is usu- ally complete; an entire new gen- eration of children is here. At all, times at least a fifth of our young people are in their first year here. | Some of them have never attend- ed church. It is interesting to watch the reactions of a child sit- ting through his first religious worship, to watch the expressions on the faces of many when they witness their first communion. We don’t want to frighten these new- comers by the severity of our re- quirements, and yet we do want to endue them with reverence and at the same time with a love for things spiritual. Sometimes a child goes for several years without getting much of this. Sometimes they go through their entire life at Barium with- out any apparent “inoculation” of the religion that we try so hard to teach, and yet we have evidence of the Truth that if you “bring up a child in the way he should go, when he is old, he will not depart from it.” the orphan- During the past three years we have received more mail from the boys and girls who have left Ba- rium than ever before. These are boys and girls in the service. They have spoken more of spiritual things thav ever before. Some of the letters were written in the face of death, nearly all are written from faraway places in strange circumstances. In these letters these young people bared their souls in a way that they probably never would have done otherwise. We get a glimpse of just what the religious life at Barium Springs has meant to them. I received a letter just ten days ago following a rather noisy pray- er meeting. The children at this In both of these instances, the person somewhat got the idea that his religious life was entirely sep- arate from the rest of his living, that if he behaved in church and did the things he was required to do, that that made up for every- prayer meeting service were par- ticularly boisterous. They came in- to the church laughing and talk- ing, and they couldn’t seem _ to settle down, and until the service started, it sounded more like chil- THE BARIUM MESSENGER ment than in a church. Many of us were distressed over this levity. We felt that we weren’t getting children. The next morning I received this letter: it was from a_ girl who twenty years ago belonged to this times this has | talkative age group. I remember which I used to observe her and wondered if it would ever be possible for her to close her mouth long enough for the other children to settle down in preparation for prayer meeting or a church service. Whether it was in a school room, church, kitchen, or sewing room, that child’s clat- ter would rise above everything else. Now she is a settled married wo- man living in a large city; she is my “anchor to windward” for all the girls who go to that city to work. I refer them to her. Sre Page Two and second rate.

We want to make sure that even though we build it just a little at a time, it is built to truly demonstrate the place that religion does oceupy in our minds and hearts! Some Thanksgiving (Continued From Page One) servance of the rites in connection with the harvest festival were not of great significance. These rites took place at the conclusion of the feast.

Her children have grown up to be fine people. Somehow even though she avparentiy was a heedless, noisy child as a little thing, she “soaked up” something very precious that has developed in her later life and has paid big dividends. E Our boys have all been rated as being very courageous. Many have been decorated; not a om2 has ever been termed a coward or failed to do his duty in this great war. What is the secret of that?

On the last day of the feast which was the fifteen of Nisan even though it was the Sabbath Day as the sun was setting three men with sycles and baskets went out into the bar- ley fields to work. They went to a place that had already been selec- ted and the grain tied off with rib- bons. A group of people went with them to take part in the service. Before they cut any grain they first asked the bystanders these three things in order to impress the meaning of the service, “Has the sun gone down?” With this sycle?” “into this basket?” “On this sabbath?” “Shall I reap?” All having been answereed in the affir- mative they cut down the barley in amount of one ephah or about three pecks, This barley was taken, thrashed, ground, and mixed with oil and frankincense and waved be- fore the Lord on the next day which | was the 16th day of Nisan corres- ponding to our Sunday, so the first fruits of the first harvest crops that “though I take the wings ot} the year was offered unto God. Along with this waving of the flour mingled- with 9il and frank- incense was the offering of a lamb upon the altar. This observance gives understanding of the allusion in I Corinthians, 15th Chapter and 23rd verse where in referring to the resurrection Paul says, “But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterwards them that are Christ’s at his coming.” The second great feast was the age back in 1891 until the present feast of Penticost and represented time, 2,177 have entered Barium. the offering of the first fruits of the wheat harvest.

Great crowds came to Jerusalem for all of these feasts and it was at the feast of Penticost that under the preaching of the apostle Peter great numbers were converted and the harvest of souls in the New Testament church began, However, the great Thanksgiving feast of the Tabernacles, known as the Feasts of Ingatherings. This was a general harvest festival ex- want to mention something of our thinking in regard to the church. Back yonder thirty one years ago Little Joe’s Church was built on this campus. At that time it was the best building on the campus. It dominated the other buildings here, and how the children and everyone here loved it! As time moved on, however, Barium Springs has built finer buildings, remodeled its old buildings, installed many conveniences, and now practically every building on our campus is a finer building than Little Joe’s| chri. In a way it corresponds Church. As a result of this, it is dif-|t) our camp meetings in as ficult to keep religion on the plane; puch as every one was sup- pressing gratitude for the harvest of the fields. It was also an anni- versary of the beginning of wander- ings of the children of Israel through the wilderness. There was, too, the perrenial expression of gratitude for their escape from bondage in Bgypt, their safe jour- ney through the wilderness and ar- rival in the land of Palestine.

Jews came home from the whole known world of that time for this great thanks- giving harvest festival. We are told that harger crowds came to the feast of Tabernacle than to any other feast for the that the Passover reason occured when the weather was stil} cold and the feast of Penticost in the heat of summer so that the weather was better for the crowds in the early autumn. The ceremonies of the feast ori- ginally consisted of meeting in the Temple, offerings upon the altar and the singing of psalms. But from time to time other features were added, so that this feast be- came the most colorful of the feasts at Jerusalem. The first of these was the illumination of the Temple throughout the night on the first night of the feast and at daybreak the following morning they blew a three-fold blast on the trumphet, and still sounding the trumpets they marched through the court of women to the beautifv] gates. Here turning arourmd and facing toward the holy place, they repeated: “Our fathers who were in this place, they turned their backs on the sanctuary of Jerusalem, and they faced eastward for they wor- shiped the sun; but we, our eyes are toward Jehovah.” This, of course, represented the worship of Jehovah as a light unto the world. The water drawing festival was also an added feature. This was held every day, but we will de- scribe the ceremonies on the last day of the feast which was the great day which included the wat- er 1estival. All the people were ex- pected to leave their booths at day- break and as they came they each carried in their hands certain things, in the right what was known as the lulabh This consisted of palm branch and myrtle branch and a willow branch tied together.

Albemarle 18; Barium 27, Thomas- ville 0; Barium 14, Asheville 33. We will now continue from that andj tell you about the following games. Barium 0, Concord 7 - it was just too much Dorton that night and although the two played evenly through most of the game, on one drive Concord went practi- cally the length of the field for a touchdown. Dorton was the spark- plug for this drive. Barium gained almost as much ground during the night as Concord, but it was most- ly in the middle of the field and did not pay dividends. Barium 19, Lexington 7 - this game was played at Barium, and it was a most interesting game. Both Barium and Lexington start- ed the season rated as two of the weaker teams of the South Pied- mont. It never pays to depend too much on such rating, however, and when those two teams get together, be they weak or strong, it is an in- teresting game. It was a wide open gain; Barium scored two touch- downs and was leading 12-0 when Lexington scored bringing the score up 12-7. Ordinarily it is good tac- tics when a team is leading by only five points to play safe and not try any passes, but not Barium. That old passing combination of Baldwin and Ammons went to work, and the final score was Barium 19, Lexington teams a The next game was played at Davidson: Barium 7, Davidsen Preacher Paragraphs (Continued From Page One) It is a grievious mistake for one to wait until trouble comes to go to his knees.

The Home was ripe; Barium, at times, was all thumbs. Things like that happen sometimes when one team can’t do anything wrong; the other team can’t do anything right.

NGER Barium Defeated Statesville 13-7 In Final Grid Game The last Messenger ¢ game, but that last game to most of you readers is the most impor- tant one of the whole season. It was With Statesville. The game was played at States- ville on Thanksgiving afternoon. It was a beautiful day, there was a good crowd present, and the teams were evenly matched. As a matter of fact, looking at the teams before the game started, it looked like Statesville had the edge on us by a big margin. They were heavier, and they looked good. The whole first half would continue to give, you that impression. Statesville drove down the field for a douch- down, making the point after, and in all departments they looked stronger than Barium. Shortly after that touchlown we started passing that ball around. Ammons threw a pass to Jerry Young, who picked up those feet of his and just ran faster than he ever knew he could run and got down to the one-yard line. | rom there the ball was carried over, but we failed to make the extra point, so the half ended 7-6. We missed another chance to score in that half in the last few minutes of the half. Ammons in- tercepted a pass and got the ball ito the one-yard line, and at that point a substitute was sent in and since we had already had three time outs, that put us back to the six-yard line. We carried the ball to the one-yard line where it w over on downs. In the second half the touchdown was made on the ground with Am- i mons finally carrying over. In this whole game while Adams’ didn’t appear in the carried the ball more times than any other person and showed up} well in all of his assignments. Fred) | Cole, playing his last game, did his usual consistent kicking and score dy the first touchdown. The final score was Barium 13, Statesville 7, all but the season, eating. of the death of Corris Smith.

The only trouble was: | no one got a chance to brag on the ‘coaches as much as they would like with one of the coaches being toastmaster. The season’s total showed six wins, five looses with! the home igames being the ones we like to |talk about the most. They were all victories except one; that loss was wiih Salisbury. The boys who were honored by their classmates were Herman Blue, the best blocker; Ear] Allen, the best tackler; John Ammons, the most valuable player. Herman Blue wrs honored by being elected Captain for 1944. The guests were Dr. Hoffman, Mr. R. C. Bunch, Mr. Gerald and Dr. Smith from Davis Hospital, Jim Smith from the Statesville Record, Dr. Foreman, Dr. Gwyn, (Continued On Page Three) Preacher Paragraphs (Continued From Page One) year to drink willingly and often of the cup of salvation. And whether we find its contents bitter or sweet, | in the drinking of it we shall more fully experience the abundant life that comes through Him Who found the cup very bitter that | night in Gethsemane, but Who | nevertheless drank it, and by doing so won the victory. | In the 14th verse, and again in verse 18, David resolves to “pay unto the Lord” his vows. What a fine resolve that is. If it be true as David so clearly stated in Psalm |51, that we sin only against God, |then is it not equally true that ; When we take any worthy vow, we |take it as unto God? What a mar- ;velous transformation would take place during 1495 in all walks of life if we should all of us resolve ito pay unto the Lord all of the | vows we have made. There are the |!yows we made when we were re- ceived into the church; the vows ‘we made when we stood before the | marriage altar; the vows we made when we brought our little ones | for baptism; the vows we have | made in our dealings with one an- ; other day after day in our respec- | tive places of business. Such a vow made and kept would usher in the kingdom, David's last resolve in this psalm is in the 17th verse. David says |he will offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. He is going to be more grateful during the’ coming year. How badly do we all need to make such a resolve as that one. One of mankind’s greatest sins is that of ingratitude. Daily God showers His rich blessings upon us, and day after day we go about | our selfish ways, just as though there were no God “from whom cometh down every good and per- fect gift.” Instead of counting our own blessings, we count the bless- ings of those about us. All around us are our fellow-beings, hungry for a word of thanks. God, too, is yearning for our gratitude. And unless we exercise more gratitude, we shall fail to enjoy to the fullest jthe manifold blessings that God pours into our lives each day. As we contemplate the new year, let us meditate upon these worthy resolves of the psalmist. Let us make the same resolves, and by |God’s grace, let us keep them.
