JANU: ARY 1945 No. 4 == T hanksgiving Offering Greatest In History Mr. J. W. Ervin The at Barium Springs is not about the weather - it is, “Where is Mr. Er- vin?” and the person whl gets the most fan mail at Barium is Mr. John Wesley Ervin. His fan mail/ consists of matters like these: “Please fix the door on the dinning room.” “Please fix the screen on my bedroom window.” “Please put in some window glass, etc.” You've guessed it - Mr. Ervin is the main repair man, and he has something to do every day ror al- most everybody at Barium. In ad- dition to that, he has charge of the big repairs, and there isn’t a build- ing at Barium Springs that doesn’t show evidence of his handiwork. His last and biggest job was com- plete renovation of the Lottie Wal- ker Building, and you would have to have seen that building before and afterwards to appreciate the magnitude of that job. Rumple Hall, the Infirmary, the Baby Cot- tage, the school building have had their “faces lifted” under Mr. Er- vin’s supervision. | He can “start right from scratch” | and build you a building, too. About the most complicated example of this is the new mill house; there are so many gadgets and special | arrangements in that mill that a [Continued On Page Two] most oft repeated question | The Agnes Myers Memorial Offering In looking over the Thanksgiving offerings from the hundreds of Churches, Sunday Schools and Auxiliaries of the Synod of North Carolina there are many that are notable and outstanding. the casual reader would scarcely pause at the names of two church- es in Wilmington Presbytery, Del- gado which gave $165.33 and Top- sail which gave $126.65 for the 1944 Thanksgiving offering, yet for those particular churches~ amounts represent as liberal offering as any received in most generous year.

The letters here- with on Discipline and Health are the last of the series. DISCIPLINE It is my purpose in this letter to answer questions concerning discipline here at the institution. In high school we are punished by having to come back to school on Saturday afternoon from two to four o’clock. The reason for this is that every person has a special job to do after school until supper and if he is kept in after school, it really lets him out of some other work. The teacher who is punishing sets the amount of time the pupils are to stay but it can’t be over two hours. Whoever comes back on | Saturdays cannot expect to get a good grade on deportment. The grammar school pupils are punished by staying extra time in the after- | noons, writing compositions, or any |number of things the teacher may | choose.

To- day we can report that the maturi- ty value of our Memorial Bonds is $44,675.00, being an increase in maturity value in one years time of $18,575.00. The actual value of our Memorial Bonds is $33,279.95. The increase in this fund was greatly accelerated by two very generous memorials placed here [Continued On Page Two] Comord Presbytery Met In Little Joe’s Church In January Concord Presbytery held its mid- winter meeting in Little Joe January 16th, 1945.

The offering of the 1943 Thanksgiving was an all time high for this institu- tion. Already that fine record has been broken. Last year on April 17th when the books were closed the Thanksgiving Offering from the churches stood at $64,838.34.

So much is said about the receipts—that they are larger this year than last and that last year they were larger than the year be- fore. Then we are inclined to run about the country and flit from place to place seeking publicity and, in this way, pushing the work. Many things come in to take time and strength while the great problem of giving the child better training is pushed off for a more favorable opportunity. Few of us are giving the time that we should to confer- ences in which the children and their difficulties are discussed. It would be interesting to know how many of our Orphanages are hav- ing weekly, or even monthly, meet- ings in which the staff gathers to- gether to give joint discussion to problems of the children. But oughit the child be put off for anything? Ought not we to be making con- stant effort to understand each child and especially the difficult child so that we may be worth more to him? How many a little fellow is discouraged and needs encour- agement? How many lack the personal touch and the vital, living friendship of an older person? The child is the main thing. A building is a small thing. Every building is erected for the good of the child and for his service. The child comes first. The institution is organized for his benefit. It is for him that we solicit funds. Let us examine our hearts and ask whether we are giving tne child first lace. If we are neglect- ing him or pushing him off for any cause, we might as well admit that our efforts are vain. The study of the individual child should stir our united efforts. What is good for the child? What was the institu- tion built for? Whit is all our in- come meant to do? Let’s get down to the fact in the case. The child is the first consideration—The Connie Maxwell. Life At Barium [Continued From Page One] Cottage discipline is very dif- ferent from that of school. Children from ages two to eleven are sent to bed early, spanked, made to sit or stand in the corner, and do ex- tra work. Ages twelve to eighteen are given extra work to do, kept from the show or town, and if they | do something very against the rules several times like going to town or riding without permission they are sent away from the in- stitution. Although there is not much need for discipline, especially among the high school pupils, when we are punished we usually see the need of it. Thank you for your interest in the orphanage, and hope that I have answered all the questions you wanted to know. Yours respectfully, Mary Alice Stevens. HEALTH I am going to try to give you the, general facts about the health of our Barium family. When the children are sick, they are taken to the infirmary, where they are cared for until they are well again. Our nurse, Mrs. Mc- Natt, is a graduate nurse. Our doc- tor does not live on the campus, but in Statesville which is five miles from Barium. Dr. Herman is considered as our doctor and can be had at a very short notice if needed. All our operations are per- formed at Davis Hospital. Each child is examined every year by Dr. Herman, and also his teeth are checked by the dentist who comes to our campus and re- mains several days. At certain times during the year we are vac- cinated for typhoid and given the test for tuberculosis. To keep us from having so many colds, during the winter, Mr. John- ston has placed on each table in the dining room cod liver oil vitamin pills, which may be taken three times a day. The general health of our family is excellent; seldom do we have any absence from school.. Very few of the alumni of our home have been rejected on account of health by the medical staff of the U. S. Army. There are five girls at the in- firmary who help with the cleaning up. Food for the patients is cook- ed in the building. I have enjoyed writing you this information, We hope you can vis- it our home here sometime. Respectfully yours, Martha Price. Bond Funds For Church [Continued From Page One] during the Thanksgiving season. One for $1,500.00 by Mr. Jack Wagner and Mrs. A. W. Barringer in memory of Mr. and Mrs. C. H Turner. Another from Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Barringer in amount of $500.00 was given in memory of Mr. W. M. Barringer. As this fund steadily grows it brings nearer to realization the dream of a worshipful, beautiful church here that will put the Church back where it belongs in the position_of the most beautiful and the best appointed building on the campus of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. The Agnes Myers (Continued From Page One] less until the Thanksgiving of 1945 when Delgado which had given $13.00 in 1942 gave $137.00 in 1943, and Topsail that had given $83.00 in 1942, gave $125.00 in 1943, We have been informed that this wonderful development was the re- sult of the work of the pastor’s wife, Mrs. C. C. Myers. Mrs. Myers began in her class of boys the keep- ing of a little bank. This was done in each church. The banks were little dime store banks. During the year the banks were on hand each Sunday. They were opened the last Sunday before Chirstmas, and great was the interest and en- enthusiasm of the boys of the class BARIUM MESSENGER ——— when at last the banks were open- Reverend Robert Turner who comes ied and the money counted. Such enthusiasm is eontageous. The other classes of the Sunday School adopted the same method with the phenominal resu!ts mentioned above. Now we are told all the members of the Sunday ‘School eagerly await the opening of the banks on the last Sunday before Christmas. Mrs. Myers has passed on. At the request of the Sunday School this offering is called the Agnes Myers Memorial Thanksgiving Offering. Thanksgiving Offering [Continued From Page One] $1,733.77 more than the total last year. In this time when all services for the children are at a higher price than before the emergen- cy, it is indeed gratifying that our people have recognized the increased needs and so gener- ously have provided for them. Mr. J. W. Ervin [Continued From Page One] grain of wheat hardly realizes when it ceases to be wheat and be- comes part of a tasty sackful of cow feed. Mr. Ervin knows where to get every article that is needed in keep- ing up the property at Barium. He knows where to locate the men with the special skills to do the work that has to be done - be he painter, tinsmith, millwright, or what-have- you. One of the constant jobs which peeks up on rainy days is keeping furniture in condition, and Mr. Ervin’s shop does a mighty good job in this line. We have added a new tool here and there until his shop has developed into quite an enterprise, although architectural- ly it doesn’t look like anything at all. It has just “growed up”, so to speak. Mr. Ervin looks after the lawns, which means keeping up two pow- er mowing machines, and keeping these machines operating with boys who insist on each one find- ing out what makes these machines run. You can guess how these in- vestigations often turn out. These and the other headaches to which a trouble shooter is heir have not caused Mr. Ervin’s hair to turn gray, but it has caused a good deal of it to leave him. The expression on his face, however, hasn’t suf- fered. He can still laugh and is pretty good company. One of Mr. Ervin’s special charg- es is the football field, and some- how, through his ministrations, it gets more beautiful every year. Mr. Ervin hasn’t been connected with Barium so long as some of the real old timers, but he has been here long enough to become part of the institution, and the place is better because of Mr. Ervin. We have hopes that, no matter how good he is now, he will get better during the years because he has a father living with him who has seen many more summers taan Mr. Ervin; in fact, his birthdays are so numberous that he can now brag about them, but he still re- tains his zest in living and is the most consistent and constant foot- ball and baskeetball fan in the neighborhood. The more young Mr. Ervin grows like his father, the more we like him, and we like him a lot already! Concord Presbytery [Continued From Page One] ter the thirty sixth verse through the eleventh chapter and first verse. As Dr. Pritchett was the re- tiring moderator his successor who was chosen by acclamation was Reverend Thomas H. Spence who is the curator of the Presbyterian Foundation at Montreat. The Presbytery was delighted to receive at this time Dr. Roy E. Hoke from Davidson College; also to us as the new Executive Secre- tary was received from Mecklen- burg Presbytery where he has been the very popular pastor of the Monroe Church. Mr. Turner is familiarly known to the young | people of our Presbytery as “Pop” Turner as he had charge of our young people’s work and our con- ferences for some years while he was pastor of the Bethpage Church. We are glad for him to return tc our Presbytery. The other new comer in our Presbytery is Rev- erend John H. McKinnon whio comes | from Maxton Church to be the pas- {tor of the First Presbyterian | Church of Concord. We were sorry to lose our veter- an presbyter who at one time was superintendent of Home Mis- sions in the Presbytery, Dr. J. FE. Flow. Dr. Flow, who is now supplying churches in Abingdon Presbytery asked for a certificate of transfer to that Presbytery and this certificate was granted with much reluctance. Dr. W. C. McLaughlin, now ser- ving a church in Burlington, N. C. spoke at Presbytery in connection with the Foreign Mission report and his topic was “The Place of The Church In The World of To- day.” Dr. McLaughlin, from his long experience as a minister in China was well qualified to give us a very illuminating study of the mission and opportunity .of the church in the world crisis and in the days to come. Another item which always elicits much interest is the election of the Commissioners of the General Assembly. The next meeting of the General Assembly will be in Montreat, North Caro- lina on the 24th day of May, 1945 at 7:30 P. M. Our Commissioners for this As- sembly were elected as_ follows: Principals: Ministers, N. E. Oplin- ger, W. L. Lingle, W. B. Heyward, C. H. McLeod—Elders, Wilson Warlick, J. T. Pritchett, J. C. Query, J. W. Taylor—Alternates: Ministers, J. K. Parker, J. T. Bar- ham, George M. Wilcox, B. B. Shankel—Elders, C, F. Thomason, J. H. Shuford, Walter Bobbitt, W. F. Ramseur. Reverand J. T. Bar- ham, the successful pastor of the Poplar Tent Church was nomina- ted as moderator for the meeting of the Presbytery which will be held at the Concord Church, Loray, N. C. on April 10th. Members of Presbytery enjoyed a very de- lightful dinner served by the folks here at Barium. As the meal was being concluded, Presbytery adopt- ed the following resolution of thanks which was read by Dr. A. A. McLean, “Concord hereby expresses its appreciation of the privilege of meeting in the Barium Springs community. It is always a help and inspiration to be here, to have a meal in the din- ing room, and to associate with the boys and girls. We thank you most heartily for the entertain- ment.” There were 32 ministers and 32 elders representing churches pres- ent. Altogether it was a most de- lightful occasion. Preacher Paragraphs [Continued From Page One] Foreign Missions, but who are en- thusiastic about it, and who net only pray for, but support, and oftentimes, either go themselves, or send their sons and daughters. Christ has forever put us right on the Foreign Mission question. He would have us know thiat the “field is the world”; that all men everywhere need to be told the good tidings of Jesus and His love. You will notice Jesus said, “them also I must bring.” Why did He put it that way? If we can find a satisfactory answer to that ques- tion, we shall have found a way out of any indifference or opposi- | tion we may have acquired regard- Presbytery. Page Two ing Foreign Missions. Jesus, to begin with, had a full realization of the urgency of Mis- sions. Statistics show that Chris- tianity is not gaining upon heath- enism, but that heathenism is gain- ing upon Christianity. The earth’s population now is about 2,000,000,- 000. More than a billion of these are heathen, and according to the experts, they are increasing fast- er by natural propagation than tne Church by spiritual regeneration. We must remember also that the heathen are not only fast coming into the world, but that they are fast going out. Since Christ was here, about 65 generations of the earth’s inhabitants including count- less numbers of heathen, have passed away. In China alone over 12 million heathen die every year. In the world at large fully 35 mil- lions of those who have never heard of Christ pass out yearly in- to eternity. In the light of these facts is it any wonder that Christ realized the urgency of Missions? Do we need to wonder that Paul cried, “Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel”? Jesus also realized the necessity of Missions. Jesus believed that the world needed Him and what He through His Church couid give. me knew man’s need for God, for treedoin from guilt and the power of sin; assurance of tuture exis- tence. Jesus knew that there was “none other name given under hea- ven among men whereby men might be saved.” Jesus knew there could be no compromise with the other religions; that one could not take the best the non-christian re- ligions had to offer, patch them up, and let them serve as a substi- tute for His Gospel. And histery’s verdict has shown Christ to have been eternally righit. Furthermore, Christ’s honor was at stake. He had predicted one fold and one shepherd. To keep His word, He had to bring those other sheep into His fold. So firmly did Jesus believe in the ultimate success of the Mis- sionary enterprize, He gave His life. His followers through the ages, since He died have also be- lieved, and have also died. The list is too long to be printed. One must however mention a few. There were His immediate disci- ples. There were early Church fathers, many of whom suffered torture and martyrdom. Standing out in the long procession of faith- ful soldiers of the cross are men like Paton, Judson, Martyn, Bor- den, Keith-Falconer, Livingstone, the Stams, and our own Vinson. Present conditions make it dif- ficult to believe in the ultimate triumph of Missions: More than a billion still out of Christ; mil- lions here at home not members of any church; crime on the in- crease; the war and all the dozens of other evils that raise their ugly heads on every side. But we can believe. Christ says “ves.” We have the assurance of prophecy; the assurance of the Christian conviction; and the as- surance of history. God help us all to realize as did Christ the urgency, the need, the uniqueness of Missions. God give us bright hope. God help us to pray, to give, to go. God hasten that glad day when we can sing, not Jesus shallreign, but rather doth reign where’er the sun does his succes- sive journeys run. An American soldier now in Northern Ireland is said to have written home: “Dear Dad: Gue$$ what I need mo$t of all. That’$ right. $end it along. Be$t wi$he$.

C., FEBRUARY 1945 Annual Health Clinic Held Here In January Mrs. Mary McNatt | As usual, we held our health clinic during the Christmas holi- days and early in January. Every child was weighed up and measur- ed just prior to Christmas. The} Count Health Department made the} tubercular test for all new chil- dren that had come in since Janu ary 1, 1944. Of this number there were a very small percentage of re-actors. They and the re-actors of former years were further checked over by Dr. Skeen and for the first time in a number of years we were given a completely clean bill of health. Not a single child has even the mildest of childhood type of tuberculosis. We just have to stop and mor- alize a little bit. Back yonder in 1926 when we started these clinics there were nearly one hundred- re- actors and thirty-nine active cases of tuberculosis. In past issues of The Messenger we have paid tribute to Mr. Grier Five were so ill]and to Mr. Ervin.

It is true of inanimate things. Men used to Wear old-fashioned, detachable collars that were no good whatever when detached. Coat buttons, no matter how beau- tiful, are no good if detached. An automobile wheel is no good if de- tached. This truth applies to peo- ple also. A soldier, no matter how brave he is, is no good to his outfit, if detached.

A detached quarter- back, no matter if he is All-Am- erican, is no good to his team, One could go on indefinitely. Let us consider for a moment the “detached Christian.” In two general ways, he is no good. To begin with, he is no good to his Church. His Chureh may be ever so well organized.

It snowed and we made a snow man and put some clothes on him and we had a good time fixing him too. We had four games yesterday and won all of them. We are going to have a tounra- ment next week and hope we have a big crowd. One of our girls have been at the Infirmary for a good while. We hope she will soon come up. Six of our girls had their tonsils removed and we sure did miss them. Nancy Stafford Pate came to see us. She brought her little boy and we sure did enjoy playing with him. Jackie Porterfield’s aunt came to us and gave Jackie a birthday party, and we all had ice cream and cake, We sure do thank Mr. Sams for the show tickets. We have been to some real good shows. This is all for this time. Will see you next month. —Helen and Sylvia. BABY COTTAGE we've chatted with our friends and we are so glad to see you again. Some of our people have been to see us since then and we will try to spell their names - we get the letters all jumbled up. When Donnie Privette saw his daddy coming his heels made you think of the tigers turning so fast they all went to butter. Billy Harrison is all in a wad, but so sweet—when he tries to run he falls over himself, and says “I falled down,” and starts off again, he always gets there. When Jimmie Harrison’s mother came he made one little leap and REVEREND WILLIAM CARSON BROWN 1867—1944 Our community was saddened to learn of the death on December 6th, 1944, of our friend and former pas- tor, Reverend W. C. Brown. Mr. Brown had been in failing health since he left here in 1937 and made his home in Raeford, North Caro- lina until the time of his death. Mr. Brown was born in Carthage, North Carolina, March 8, 1867. He is a graduate of Davidson College, class of '93 and took his B. D. de- gree from Union Theological Sem- inary in 1896. His first pastorate was in Concord Presbytery when he came to the work at Concord and New Salem Church. Also dur- ing his pastorate there he supplied Front Street Church in States- ville and Clo Church for a time. In 1907 he left Concord Presbytery and went to Raeford, N. C. as pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church of Raeford. He remained there from 1907 through 1924 as their beloved pastor. In 1924 he came to Barium Springs as the first full time pas- tor of Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church. He brought his broad charity and wide experience and mature study to the work here at Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. His benign and fatherly presence were great blessings and benediction to the Home until he was forced to retire from ill health in 1937. His wife preceded him in death as she passed away in 1942 on June 28th. Mr. Brown is survived by a son, Mr. Lamont Brown of Alexandria, Virginia, by a daugh- ter, Mrs. Lewis Reagans of Kings- port, Tennesssee; by a_ step-son, Dr, John Adams; and also a step- daughter, Mrs. Robert A. Collier of Statesville, N. C. she caught him right in her arms, but she was close by. You know his legs are not very long yet. Little Ruth Shepherd’s little blue eyes were like stars when her folks came. Every one wants a curl from Ruby Truelove’s pretty brown ones, but she shakes her little head “No.” We have four babies now, and one more pretty little one to come from the Infirmary soon. When little Donnie Harrison came up from the Infirmary where he went to leave his cold with Mrs. MeNatt, he said, “Mommie, I’se |turned back home.” It has been a long time since! “Where did you come from, baby dear?” “Out of the every here.” We have seven little girls and twelve little boys. “IT took a piece of living clay, And gently formed it day by day, And molded with my power and art A young child’s soft and yielding heart, I came again when years were gone, It was a man I looked upon, He still that early impress bore, And I could change him never- more. where _ into Mr. Johnston came one day and took us to ride in his car and gave us all some ice cream.

Mrs, John White Moore came from Mooresville last Sunday and brought us some pretty valentine cakes - all heart shaped and sprink- led with pretty red - looked like sugar and tasted like it too. And some little animal cakes and candy in little valentine napkins tied up with little red bows - and a little paper saucer inside - we almost ate that, too.

FARM NEWS We believe that this Messenger goes into the hands of many people who live on the farm. Some of you are old timers who used to have to get up early in the morning and push your team hard to get any- thing like two acres of land plough- ed in a day. Well, that’s the way the writer was raised. Back in the days when I was a farmer boy, we were nervous in the summer time until we got all the wheat land broken, and then we were nervous in the winter until all the plowing for corn was done - if we didn’t get this red land broken in time to have a few freezes on it we were destined to wrestle with clods all summer long. Well, we had trouble here this year - the ground got too wet around about Thanksgiving Day and we couldn’t get all of our wheat sowed. The first time the land was dry enough to plow was Monday, the twenty-ninth of January, get- ting late, and we had a little more than 150 acres to break - just fig- ure out how many teams that would take. I am writing this article on the second day of February, just five days after that first dry day, and all of the land is broken. Three tractors and four teams did the job, and it is done better than in the old days when we had to de- pend on a plodding team for this work, The weather man has been good to us, giving us clear weath- er all week, and it has been cold enough at night to freeze those clods so they won’t bother us this summer. MUSIC CLUB The Barium Springs Music Club held its last meeting December the eighth at which all members were present. The following took part: Han- nah Price, Jackie Porterfield, Shir- ley Thomas, Jimmy Hayes, Lavana Morrison, Miss Greene, Shirley In- man, Louise Campbell, Patty In- man, Ernestine Baldwin, Anne Pope, Sadie Grey Buie, Peggy Neel, Myrtle Rushing, Dixie Lee Buie and a reading by Dewey Belle Buie. Mrs, George Neel was the invited quest at this meeting and we were all delighted to have her. At the close of the program the pupils presented to Miss Greene a selected box of stationary as a token of our love for her and ap- preciation of her fine work with us. Refreshments of candy and or- anges were served after which we ended our program. by singing Christmas carols. The officers of the club are: Dewey Belle Buie, president; Helen Hawley, vice president and Myrtle Rushing, secretary, VIRGINIA HALL CIRCLE The Virginia Hall Circle meets once a month and is a part of the Woman’s Auxiliary. It is eemposed of the girls of the eleverth and twelfth grades, This year the mem- bers are Dixie Lee and Dewey Bell Buie, Leona Hali, Blanche Feims- ter, Ruth May, Lucy Johnson, Nina field. Miss Carpenter is chairman of the circle. We had our February meeting on the twelfth and following the Circle programs. We made Valen- tine favors for the trays at Davis Hospital. The attendance at the Auxiliary form our Circle is very good. Mrs. Mary McNatt (Continued From Page One] infirmary not one appendix has escaped her notice to the point where the patient was in a critical state. Pneumonia, that wolf at the door, of all institutions has been kept away: we believe it is due largely to Mrs. McNatt’s skill and perseverance that this excellent report can be made. She recogniz- es a dangerous sympton in time to prevent a critical situation. Mrs. McNatt is very much on our mind during the winter months - that is when we have our tonsil operations and other operations. It is also the time when so many diseases might get in their deadly work. We have more colds during the winter and somehow earache and_ toothache assume more alarming proportions when the wind is howling and the temperature is low. Mrs. McNatt has raised a wonderful family of her own - a preacher, a soldier, a businessman, and four daughters, two of them nurses. Occasionally Mrs. McNatt gets sick herself - not often - whenever she does there is one of her efficient daughters at hand to help her and to take over. Isn’t that fine? It is nice to have a person in charge of an important department that you can feel about as we do about the infirmary and Mrs. McNatt. We do not need to wake up in the middle of the night and wonder if that job is being tak- en care of. We know it is. We de- light to do honor to this fine mem- ber of our staff. Annual Health Clinic [Continued From Page One] tors advised the stopping of all operations except emergency ones. Then last year we were right in the midst of these operations when a measles germ poked up its head at Barium and before he was through with his visit - he and his family - we had ninety cases of measles. Then one time the weath- er turned so bad that we were just afraid to continue. Well, this year there was no flu in sight, no meas- les in the neighborhood, and the weather was pretty and we thought everything was going to be lovely, we had eleven patients fresh from the hospital and four more to come, Mrs. McNatt turned up sick - im- agine that calamity! But Mrs. MeNatt has raised a fine family of her own and in that family are a couple of nurses and one of those nurses was on hand before we had a chance to worry much. - not only taking care of her mother but looking after her pa- tients also. This frightened us. We think of Mrs. McNatt every time we get sick and when she gets sick we feel mighty helpless. All in all, our health examination showed a commendable growth and improvement with only five chil- dren in the entire family failing to gain in weight. These were without exception girls who had the idea of streamlining themselves and it was not an evidence of bad health. The average gain in weight was nine pounds, with the girls out- growing the boys by a small frac- tion - theirs was 9.2, the boys 9 pounds even. A boy and girl tied for the top gain - 29 pounds. A great improvement was no- ticed in the condition of teeth. A greater portion of the fillings was necessary for the forty-two new and here on the second day when, Page Two Berryhill, Lucille Smith, Patricia; children who entered during the Hooten, Gilda and Gloria White-| year. It appears that eating sev- eral apples a day helps. For those of you who are not familiar with the set-up at Barium we have been raising enough apples so that every child has plenty all during the winter - they usually last up until April or May. They are distributed at high school and given out at recess, or as the classes change in the High School building. Some' of the girls in the High School go from the High school building to the Lottie Wal- ker building to attend domestic science classes. That is a good time to eat an apple, as they go from one building to another. They do this so unanimously and enthusiasti- cally that we might paraphrase the old battle song “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp the boys are marching” to “Chomp, Chomp, Chomp, the girls are marching.” We think it adds a_ polish to those already gleaming teeth. We believe that the good health of the children has been reflected in their disposition and maybe in their attentiveness, Three times in the last thirty days the writer of this article has made requests of all of the children - all three of those requests had to do with their behaviour at basketball games. They responded so satisfactorily that we have been delightfully amazed. If an apple a day had any- thing to do with that we recom- mend it to everybody raising chil- dren. Maybe ice cream once a week has something to do with it too. Preacher Paragraphs [Continued From Page One] detached, never participating in any way, he will forever be no good to his Church. In the second place, and this is far more serious for the individual, the detached Christian is no good to himself. In union there is strength, and the detached Chris- tian fails to share that strength that is experienced by those who are united in the work of the Church, A terrific storm struck one day in the midst of a lovely grove of pines. People living near- by, who had come to love those pines feared they would all be up- rooted. Not so. To be sure, the gale caught some of the tallest limbs, injuring them to some ex- tent, but the trees themselves, were not uprooted as they would have been had they been standing alone. They were protected by the presence of the othef trees. It is that way in the Church, A minister once witnessed the amputation of an arm that had been badly mangled in a wreck. Having detached the arm, the sur- geon casually told his attendant, “throw it away!” When the min- ister expressed horror, the sur- geon said; “Why not? It is no good, detached.” Roger Babson says that five per cent of the Christians in America can’t be found. Intentionally, or non-intentionally, they have be- come “detached.” When they mov- ed into a new community, they fully intended {some of them) moving their Church membership with them. But they just didn’t. The years have come and gone, and they remain “detached.” Their membership is either back home on their old Church’s inactive roll, or they did not get their Church letter, but it is still in their trunk. As a result, they are no good to the old home Church, and no good to the Church nearby. Most tragic of all, they are starving to death, spiritually; receiving only the backwash of the Church, when they could, and should be experi- encing its flood-tide. Dwight L. Moody once visited a member of his church whio had not only been detached for a long time, but had also fallen into grie- vous sin.

You will want to know a little more about these games. Well, in the girls’ game Statesville got away climb up and when the last min- ute started the score was 19-19.

That gave Statesville the ball and they work- ed it down to one of their girls right under the basket, absolutely in the clear and she shot what should have been an easy crip, but the ball rolled around awhile and then fell out and then the whistle blew. This was Statesville’s first loss and it disappointed them very much. Since that time the States- ville girls have lost twice to Chil- dren’s Home, and that puts them in about third place - they are still a mighty good team and will show up well in the tournament, We took the week of February 13th as a vacation while we staged our tournament here, then on Feb- ruary 20th we took on Lexington and the scores were as follows: Barium girls 47-31; Barium boys 41-27. Our Junior team played and defeated Lexington 33-23, and that brings the score almost up to date, it is a foregone conclusion that thie Children’s Home boys will win the Conference Championship, and the girls’ championship will be a tie between Children’s Home and Con- cord. Immediately after the Confer- ence schedule there will be a tour- nament and our boys and _ girls stand a good show of winning out in this tournament. In addition to the Varsity games, we have had some Midget games, playing Statesville and playing a_ small team of girls from China Grove. Then our*Varsity had two games with Bobby Whittle’s team from Charlotte - the J. O. Jones team. In all of these games our teams were victorious. Preacher eure [Continued From Page Two] Moody most cordially and asked him to be seated in front of a beau- tiful, grate fire. Thinking Mr. Moody had come to reprimand him for his laxity as a Christian, he said, “Well, Mr. Moody, I’ve got it coming to me - go to it.” Mr. Moody said nothing. Taking hold of a pair of tongs, he removed from the glowing grate one of thle bright, red coals and laid it upon the hearth. Together, he and his host watched it. In just a few moments, what had been a hot, read coal, now that it was detached from its fellow-coals, was only a blacken- ed cinder. Mr. Moody remained silent. His host looked up with the words, “I see what you mean, Mr. Moody.” Christians, Like Coupons, Are No Good If Detached! Walker (in hot argument): The pedestran was here first, you have to admit that. Motorist: Yes, and so was the to an eight point lead in the be- Indian, but where is he now?” Ninth—None. Tenth—Maggie Katen. Eleventh—Lucile Smith. Twelfth— Jon Ammons, Berryhill, Gilda Whitefield. “Yes,” said Mrs. tag n, “I am sure our victory garden is going to be a success.” “So soon?” “Yes, the chickens have tasted everything and they are erfectly enthusiastic.” Nina Jones: “My baby image of me.” Smith: “What do you care so long as he’s healthy?’ Banker (telephoning): “Mr. Co- hen, do you know your account is overdrawn $177” Mr. Cohen: “Say, Mr. Banker, look up a month ago. How did I stand? I'll hold the phone.” Banker (returning): “You had a balance of $400.” Mr. Cohen: “Vell, did I call you up?” is the living The manager and the chief clerk were discussing the new typist. “What do you think of her?” asked the manager. “How is she doing her work?” The chief clerk looked a little doubtful. “Well, I don’t know,” he said, “but she spells atrociously.” “Really,” said the manager. “She must be pretty good, then. I could- n’t spell it.” Doctor: “I’m sorry, Mrs. Brown, but I have to tell you that your husband will never be able to work again.” Mrs. Brown: “I’ll go and tell ’im. It’ll cheer him up.” Annual Tournament [Continued From Page One] utes Sherrill’s Ford went ahead 43-40. The boys’ finals were not quite so Stanley defeated Scotts by about five points. In the foul shooting Miss Stroup from Stanley won with a score of 19. In the boys’ four tied up with a score of 21; and in the play-off McNeill of Seotts won with 22. The crowds were bigger, in a better humor, the refreshment stands were kept busier, and every- close. Tournament the 15th of March. Look for its results in the next is- sue of The Messenger.

His wealthy father had very myster- iously disappeared and he, Sam, had been hurriedly summoned home by his father’s attorney. Sam, called Sampson, for short, by hiis friends at college, had taken only a nominal interest in his fath- er’s business, Beyond knowing that he belonged to numerous boards of directors and seemed always am- ply supplied with money, he knew very little about his affairs. What Sam had been more interested in than anything else was athletics, and post graduate work at the University was really for the purpose of getting one more year on the baseball team. He played football, basketball, and baseball and loved them all. Feeling that the making of money was a minor consideratign he still enjoyed college life and the place he had won for himself there by his ath- letic powers, rather than start- ing out to make his living. Sam was twenty-four, six feet two, weighed one hundred = and eighty pounds. His curly red hair was good to look upon. At the time our story opens his face wore a troubled look, not one of greif but rather bewilderment, He was now speeding on a fast train in re- sponse to the summons. above [Continued On Page Two] Barium Teams Wind Up Successful Season Taking up the continued story of the basketball season, our last report ended with our twin victor- ies over Statesville. That was about the last of the good news; attending our Varsity doings. Fol- lowing our tournament here which was most enthusiastically patron- ized both by teams and spectators, we got back into the playing. Our first game was with Lexington at Barium, our girls won 47-37; our boys 41-47, and then on the fol- lowing Friday, February 23rd, we went to Kannapolis. Our girls won 29-16, but the boys lost 32-30. In that game Barium was very much superior in the first, second and fourth quarters, but in the third quarter Kannapolis scored 19 points to our 4, and that was enough to win the ball game. On Tuesday, February 27th, we had somewhat of a repetition of these doings. Our girls defeated Thom- asville 24-19; our boys lost to} Thomasville 38-31, big margin against Thomasville in scoring by a Barium Messenger BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

He probably liked the place some days and some days he didn’t. Ten years later he gra- duated, and by that time he had developed such an affection for Barium and had made himself so useful that he was retained as a kind of all-round help man. He helped the dairyman; he nelped the farm boys; he helped the coach; and rapidly became one of the busiest folks at Barium. Several years later this young man was promoted from assistant dairy boss to dairy boss, and he never has gotten out of that job although he going to gz has acquired a good many others since.

Facing a new church year, I am thinking about certain things that I, as a minister, Would like to see accomplished in my Church. They are as follows: I would like to see a genuine deepening of the “Prayer Life” of each member, for without that, there is little that we can do that will really last. “Men ought al- ways to pray and not to faint.” I would like to see every mem- ber cultivating the habit of spend- ing some time each day in a prayer- ful reading of God's Word, with the intention of whatever God’s Spirit leads him to do. “Search the Scriptures, for they are they which testify of Me,” doing I would like to seé every mem- | ber taking seriously the matter of | attendance upon whatever services | are held each wee} means “Prayer Meeting.” the assembling of gether.” - that | not | yourselves to- ‘Forsake I would like to see everyone tak- ing a deeper interes: in the Church School.

It was a kind of community affair. The editor wrote the first and last chapters, without consultation with anybody. Of course, he wrote the first chapter first and the last chapter after the other chapters had been turned in. He just wrote that first chapter and turned it over ta a member if tne High School faculty and asked her to “write thé next chapter, another teacher wrote the third chapter and so on until five or six chapters had been written, then the editor North There were twin boys, there enough the Oxtord, Carolina 3en and Charles, little size and were two near same to be scmetimes mistaken for twins, Irene and Sarah.

Sam looked up at the lawyer and said,” “I have twenty “dollars, and I suppose that is just twenty more than Dad had when he started out from the log school house. If I’m worth raising maybe I can make it on that.” Taking his hat, Sam started out and was just closing the door when he remembered the other paper. “T believe I will read this later,” as he took the sealed enevlope from the lawyer’s hand. Out in the bracing sunshine and mountain air of that glorious moun- tain city his spirits rose, the world was not so bad, it was time he was going to work anyhow, he would go get some dinner and hop to it, He headed for his usual eat- ing place, and proceeded to order with disregard for price. Just as he had finished his order two girls in tennis flannels came in 2nd rush- ed up to Sam with a most effusive welcome, It ended by their eating with Sam and on Sam, and when he again stood in the sparkling sunshine, his twenty dollars was just a ten and some change He sought a quiet chair in a ho- tel and proceeded to open the en- velope left by his father. He first drew out a heavy paper which proved to be absolutely blank, and when it unfolded a slip of paper fell out. Sam was so busy searching the large piece for some sign that he did not look at this slip for a few minutes. When finally convinced that the slip was the only thing with any writing or printing on it he read what was written on it. Then in amazement he turned it over, but nothing on that side. His expression must have been so ut- terly bewildered that it attracted attention. He was aroused by a laugh. A young lady a few chairs away was openly laughing at him. “Pardon me,” she said, “but you looked too funny, did somebody play a trick on you? Of course you don’t remember me, I am Jenny Priest that used to admire your football from a distance, and met you two years ago.” Still puzzled, Sam held out the slip of paper to her and they both read: If doubtful but daring, get your inspiration where the creek does a toe dance and the water runs uphill. Feed your imagination where the hills juggle the juggernaut, and find your information at the eighteenth hole. P. S. This may not be pretty, but for purposes of identification noth- ing beats a snaggle tooth. Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve, but wear me next to your heart, till a mate is found.

Do this whether you work full time or, part time. 2. If your social security card is lost or destroyed, get another card with the same number on it. Keep the same account number all of your life, no matter how often you change jobs. Otherwise, your wages may not be proberly credit- ed on the books of the Social Se- curity Board, That means that, in after years, it might be difficult for you to get all of your benefits, without delay, when they are due. If you have more than one social security ecard, call or write the field office of the Social Security Beard and find out which card and which number you should keep. 3. Take good care of your social security card. That card is the key to your social security account which is kept for you by the Social Security Board. Like an insurance policy, it is valuable, Information on any subject, con- cerning Social Security may be ob- tained from the field office of, the Social Security Board. The Salis- bury, N.

The old title, “The Lunatic Legacy”, seems to be a fair enough title. There is one geographical error in the article which you people who have traveled the Sou- thern Railway from Statesville to Asheville may catch: it is in the number of the tunnels which the train goes through. The writer of that particular chapter was think- ing about the Clinchfield Road near Little Switzerland, he had counted the tunnels there and had it mix- ed up. with the number on the Sou- thern Road. Outside of that, this story is a gem, if we do say it as shiouldn’t. Mr. R. E, Jackins [Continued From Page One] the head of this article, known to you as Buck or Cap, depending on when you stayed at Barium. He became head football coach, then dean of the boys, then head of a family. In the course of the years he and Miss Laura Northrup decided on matrimony. They live in one of the apartments in the Quads - the Stultz Building. They have two delightful little girls, Beth and Joe Anne. During the years Mr. Jackins has left some enviable records as a football player, as a wrestler, as a wrestling coach, as a football coach, and as a basketball player, and finally as a basketball official. When this young man was growing up at Barium we did not have bas- ketball at all, and yet now he can play a right nifty.game and is con- sidered one of the best when it comes to calling a game. You can gather from this that Mr. Jackins is a right useful in- dividual. We at Barium have found him so, so useful in fact that the temptation is to add to his duties every year. He is a willing sort of person and a most conscientious one. If you take a look at his picture he looks mighty robust, but he has had his years of ill health which would have permanently impaired the disposition of most folks but somehow this young man has come through with his smile unimpaired, and that smile is such an effective thing that he can call the fifth foul on a girl basketball player and have her leave the court without ideas of manslaughter in her mind. We delight to do honor to this very useful member of our staff. |, THE BARIUM MsiueNees He is still very youthful looking so we won’t call him a veteran, al- though his stay at Barium as a student and as employee is now twenty-seven years.

Albemarle went on to win the championship. For the boys, they doubled the score on Kannapolis, believe it or not, but were finally eliminated by Thomasville. Now, for the real exciting news, as this report is being dictated the Junior Tournament is in progress. We didn’t think we had much this year - a passable boys’ team, but such a green girls’ team that we did not know whether they would even stand up for the first game, but to our amazement and delight our girls bumped off Catawba in the first game 35-11; in the second game they eliminated Statesville 26-15. In the third game Moores- ville was the victim, 37-17, and to- night in the finals our girls go up against Concord. Concord has pre- viously defeated Union Grove and Cool Springs. Now, for the boys: Our 125-pound boys defeated in the opening round Stony Point 32-18. Next they defeated Scotts 22-16; then Harmony 33-9; and tonight they go up against Celeste Henkel. Celeste Henkel has previously de- feated Cool Springs 25-23, and Union Grove 22-13. Final results will be in The Mes- senger in a little special box so that you will be sure to notice it. Our teams will either be the run- ners-up or the champions of one of the liveliest little tournaments you ever read about. This write-up will be the final one this year on our basketball ac- tivities. There will be some class games from the fourth up through the seventh, but no paper could in- clude all the thrills of these games and do them justice. A little inter- val of softball and tennis, and then when September rolls around King Football will take the spotlight. On Friday night, March 23, the basketball banquet will be held. We'll report that later. . 8 2 © 28 @& 2 8. 8s * .

Laughing again she looked at Sam and said, “I am a shark when it comes to working out cross word puzzles but this makes me feel rather insignificant.” Sam dismissed the subject with a laugh too, not wishing to ex- plain its source. They sat and chat- ted for sometime, discussing the recent ball games. At length Jen- ny excused herself and Sam was left to his own thoughts. He took out the envelope which contained the slip of paper and read it again. Had his father in- tended to be so mystifying? What could he mean by such a jumble of words. Were the words to be taken literally or was he to inter- pret into them something not there. Surely no one this side of Morgan- ton could expect the words to be taken literally. With a frown on his forehead, he seized his hat and without stopping to think where he was going he started down the hotel steps. He walked hurriedly for some- time in the waning afternoon sun- light, and at length realized that it had been quiet a while since he had heard the street cars or much traffic. Looking up he found him- self on the road that leads up be- hind Grove Park Inn. He continued up this road and finally found an inviting seat, overlooking a part of Asheville and giving a splendid side view of Grove Park Inn. A- [Continued On Page Two} —— ! Leaves Barium | MISS LORENA CLARK Take a good look at this picture. The article is a gort of three-prong- ffair; We have been each month noring some member of the staff for their fine work at Barium. Miss comes in that category. Whenever some former student of Barium has done some outstanding thing, that deserves an article. Well Miss Clark comes in on that. And whenever there is a wedding in prospect, the persons involved are due a write-up. Miss Clark comes in that. So here goes. Way back yonder in 1924 a flock of four little boys and one little girl came to Ba- rium. The boys all later distin- guished themselves by holding down the same position on our foot ball team - right guard. It got so sports writers would just put down that name on our team withiout consulting anybody. The one girl, and this is the heroine of this ar- ticle, distinguished herself in other ways. She was valedictorian of the class of 1931 and went to Flora Macdonald College where she made | more, and Barium Messenger 26,000 Published Monthly By Presbyterian Orphans’ Home For the Information of Its Friends Vol. 22 BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C., APRIL 1945 No. 7 | Killed On Iwo Jima || DICK PARRISH Back in 1927 two little red- headed boys entered Barium Springs from Red Springs. The youngest was little Dick Parrish. Not a very strong little boy, he had to be nursed along for several years until he began to live up to the vivid color of his hair. He lived at the Baby Cottage, at Syn- od’s, at Lee’s, at Jennie Gilmer, and in the Quads. He took his turn at all the jobs which the boys have to do at Barium, with this invari able result: every matron that had to do with! him, every foreman, and every teacher, learned to love the boy for his willingness to do, his eagerness to please, and his all- around unselfishness. Preacher Paragraphs By Rev. T. C. Cook WHY GO TO CHURCH? “Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together.” A church succeeds in proportion to the loyalty of its members. This being true, one should go to ‘Church, first of all, because the Church needs him! Cooperation brings the same results in a Church as it does in any other or- ganization. Church-going is not ‘Christianity, but it is an essential means of promoting Christianity, and an investigation will reveal that the most consistent Chris- tians are those who attend Church most regularly. The same thing is true of the best givers, the best prayers, and the best workers. The person who has quit giving, praying, witness- ing, and working, is the | erson whose interest has begun to lag; and lack of interest can almost always be traced to carelessness in Church attendance. Those who are the backbone of the Church, its spiritual strength, its pillars of faithfulness, are, with few excep- tions, those who regularly attend its services. But there is 4 second reason why one should go to Church, and that is the fact that man needs It never seemed to occur to Dick that he was ever called on to do anything hard. He accepted every task and every duty as though he were being done a favor by being allowed to have his share in what- ever was being done. He became quite an athlete - the wrestling team and the football team - and somehow the teams that he played on were always good. Dick would be the last to claim that it was his being on the team that made it good, but we who watch these things know that Dick had a lot to do with it. He was Center on our Championship Team of 1941 and made the last touchdown of the season which rounded out a perfect career. He graduated in 1942, en- tered Davidson that fall and was able to complete one year, and a most satisfactory year, and it was his hope and our hope that when he had served his term in the Arm- ed Services he would come back and complete his college career. Such, however, was not to be. He was killed on Iwo Jima on the fourth of March, and while we do not have the particulars as yet, we know that Dick was there doing his full duty and maybe a little making the company, the Church. In fact, the Church can get along without the indivi- dual much better than the indivi- dual can get along without the Seven years ago, Reverend Tom Now they are leaving us to go to sized boy, and one little boy.

His father, an architect and designer, was born at Ste Marie aux Mines in the Vosges mountains of Al- sace, France, and came with his parents in childhood to America. His mother was a descendant of the French Huguenots who on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes fled from France to South’ Caro- lina, When Dr. Raynal was eight years of age his family moved to homasville, Georgia. Three years later they moved to Birmingham, Alabama. Here, the young Charles Zaynal attended private schools. In 1896, while his family was resid- ing in Bessemer, Alabama, Dr. Raynal entered Southwesterr Uni- versity at Clarksville, Tennessee, from which institution he gradu- ated in 1903. He next attended Princeton University and Prince- ton Seminary, receiving from these two schiools the A. B. and B. D. de- grees. He was licenced to preach in 1903 and ordained in 1904 by the Presbytery of Northern -\la- bama, Dr. Raynal began his ministerial life as assistant pastor in the Ist Presbyterian Church of Birming- ham, AlalWama, where he served from 1904 until 1907. His next pastorate was at St. Paul’s Pres- byterian Church jin Charlotte, N. C., where k2 served until 1909 when he accepted a cail to the Ist Presbyterian Church of Sta es- ville, N. C., which pastorate he held until last October when, due to failing health, he tendered his resignation. Following his resigma- tion, his congregation elected him pastor emeritus. Despite his physi- cal limitations, he continued to serve his people, but finaily, veal- izing that he was growing weaker, he entered Long’s hospital. His condition became steadily worse, and on the morning of December 1, 1944, after some two wekes in the hospital, he was called to his eternal reward. Davidson College in 1941 award- ed Dr. Raynal the degree of Doc- tor of Divinity, an honor well de- served, for Dr. Raynal was first of all a minister of the Gospel, bringing to his preaching, mature scholarship, rare wit and humor, pathos and beauty of expression. He was devoted to his Church and his pastorate in Statesville was marked by the construction of the handsome $200,000 place of wor- ship that was completed in 1934, in every step of the erection of which he took an active interest, making with! his own hands much of the woodwork that adorned its walls. A first class botanist, he planned with care the planning of the church grounds, selecting rare and beautiful trees and shrubbery. Dr. Raynal did not confine his interest to his Church. He made a distinctive contribution to his community. For 35 years he gave unsparingly of his ability and leadership of the civic, education- | al, cultural and spiritual life of Statesville. He was a trustee of the Statesville Public Library, a trustee of Mitchell College, and a member of the N. C. Interracial committee. He held membership in several scientific societies, and was the author of several pamphlets, contributing from time to time to various magazines, among them, the North Carolina Review. Dr. Raynal had a number of hob- bies that called for skilled hands. His book binding, cabinet making, and wood carving were not to be surpassed. He was an_ excellent gardener and landscape artist, and he could cast a rod with the best of them. Dr. Raynal’s first marriage was to Miss Mary Graham Morrison, of Charlotte, N. C., who died two years later, In 1914 he married Miss Margaret Mayo Scott, a for- mer member of the faculty of Mitchell College, of which her father was the president. He is survived by his wife, three ‘sons and a daughter: Lt. C. E. Raynal, Jr., chaplain U. S. Navy; Capt John Scott Raynal, U. S. Army, in service overseas; Henry Middleton Raynal, student at Davidson Col- lege; and Miss Margaret Isabel Raynal, student at Salem College. Concord Presbytery will miss Dr. Raynal very sorely. The younger men coming into the Presbytery always found in him an_ under- standing friend, Almost always when a candidate had finished a sermon for licensure, Dr. Raynal was the first to reach him and give words of encouragement. Dr. Raynal once said: “It is wonderful to be living today and looking ahead to tomorrow. It would take five or six lifetimes to do all I want to do. I will die still interested in this beautiful world.” We who mourn his passing, re- joice that we have known this great soul. We rejoice that he is now a citizen of that world thiat is more beautiful than anything envisioned here, and in which he will have all eternity to fulfill his desires. Alumni News [Continued From Page One] Farmer have been promoted to sergeant. Capt, Julius Kinard, of Pampa, Texas, was a visitor on the campus recently. Louise Everett of Spruce Pine, Mrs Jonnie Kirkpatrick (Bertha Lee Broome) of Charlotte, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Clark of Granite Falls attended the wedding of Miss Lorena Clark at Barium. Jack McCall of Pyote, Texas has been promoted to Corporal. Staff Sergeant Jesse R.

Thomas C. Cook [Continued From Page One] tive of Richmond, he is a graduate of Hampden-Sidney College and a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. During the First World War he served overseas with the 146th field artillery, was in France for six months and in Germany for the same period of time with the army of occupation. He is a member of Hurst Turner Posi of the American Legion, this city, and chaplain of the post. As pastor of the church at Ba- rium, Rev. Mr. Cook was known for his friendly contacts with the Barium Orphanage family, con- tacts that he has maintained dur- ing the war with regular letters to the men in service. He has also been @ leader in activities of the Boy Scout organization, and Scout- master of the Troop at Barium. He has a wide circle of friends in the local community who regret his leaving. He had many contacts in Statesville, where he was in touch! with civic and church groups and Mitchell College. He was known for his inspiring messages to civic organitations and gifted and versatile, was much sought.as an entertainer. During the interim following the resignation of Dr. Charles E. Ray- nal as pastor of the First Presby- terian church of Statesville last October, Rev. Mr. Cook served the church as supply, preaching at the evening services and also ser- ving the congregation as_ pastor, in so far as he could do so in con- nection with his own work as pas- tor of the Barium church. During the seven years of his pastorate at Barium, Mr. Cook has had ten calls to other pastorates. Last summer he rejected a call to the pastorate of the Montreat church. The call to the Laurens church is the first that he had been led to accept. Mr. and Mrs. Cook and_ three young sons plan to leave around the first of June for Laurens. Mrs. Cook, who underwent an op- eration in a Richmond, Va. hospital several weeks ago, is still under treatment there, though improving steadily. The operation has ne- cessitated her remaining in a cast for a number of weeks. Mr. Cook plans to go to Richmond next week to bring her home.

Leaves Barium [Continued From Page One] difficult job that a woman has at Barium - Head Matron. She has had direct charge of all the high school girls, and the immediate supervision of the Lottie Walker Building. She has had the general oversight of all the other girls’ de- partments and cottages, and some supervision of the Boys’ Dormitor- ies - quite a job! And Miss Clark, in spite of her youth, has handled it magnificently. She is one person whom we had hoped would not let her light so shine before men that it could be seen of all. We hiad hep- ed to keep her as our own little private treasure for years to come, but such was not to be. At least one man saw her good works and has robbed us of our treasure, and by the time you read this Lorena will no longer be Miss Clark - she will be Mrs Piner. We know that wherever she goes there will be people who will love her, that she will make other people happy, and that the home in which she presides will be truly a Chris- tian home, All who know her, and that means a pretty large section of the Barium family both here and of our graduates, will wish her well and will be proud for having served with her at Barium Springs. Lunatic Legacy [Continued From Page Onc} gain he read this enigma which his father had left him. In his letter he had said he left him nothing unless it was a clue that he would find in a further paper. A clue to what? And was this insignificant looking piece of paper the clue he spoke of ? Evidently so. It was the only scratch he found in the en- velope. Sam sat on the rock, studying the slip word by word. “If doubt- ful but daring”’—apparently there was to be adventure, everything was not to come too easy. “Get your inspiration where the creek does the toe dance and the water runs uphill.” So his father recog- nized the fact that it would take an inspiration to make him wake up. But where was he to ever get an inspiration? “Whlere the creek does a toe cance and the water runs uphill!”—wasn’t that a defi- nite and sensible answer? “Toe dance”, “uphill.” Maybe his fath- er’s worries had been too much for him. But no, he couldn’t think of that. Evidently he was not get- ting an inspiration here. He must seek it elsewhere. He would go back and sleep over it. That night Sam soughit a theater to help pass the time away.

He seemed to be on a train, coming up the mountains with his father, the first time he and his father had made the trip together when he was a boy. His father seemed to be pointing out different things to him and about each one he had something interesting to tell, just as if he knew every crook and turn on the road and seemed to impress Sam now in his dreams was the way in which his father talked. His eyes seemed to sparkle and gleam as he spoke of a certain mountain in the distance. At length they reached Andrews Geyser and then his father’s whole face seemed to glow. But now in reality it was Sam’s turn to glow! Didn’t he hear his father saying something about dancing? In an instant Sam was wide awake. What was it his father was talk- ing about when he heard him say “dancing?” All else seemed to have escaped him but the word “dancing.” Then he remembered that it was in connection with An- drews’ Geyser. To be sure! What is it that Andrews’ Geyser does if not a toe-dance. What is it that Andrews’ Geyser does if it does not do more than run up hill? It shoots straight up! At last he now had a clue. It was to Andrews’ Geyser he’ must go to get his in- spiration. So far so good! But this was only a beginning. He must find where the hills juggle the juggernaut and the eighteenth hole and last of all the mate to this little slip of paper. This last must be the most important. Sitting on the edge of the bed, picturing in his mind the dancing water of Andrews’ Geyser, Sam realized there was no more sleep” for him. What could he do? He couldn’t be still nor could he pace the floor all night. It would never do to go pacing the streets at 12:30 at night. As he, thinking, it oc- curred to him that now was the time to get that inspiration. Sam jumped at the thought and he got ready to start on his un- certain expedition about as hastily as he had gotten ready for bed. Thinking it most suitable for such an escapade he adorned himself in his golf suit, plus a light weight overcoat, In his pockets were his few dollars, a few cigarettes and a match box. He rushed down to the station only to find that the next train was a through one carrying only pull- mans and it was not due for several hours. What should a man with only a few dollars do? Just at that moment he noticed a long freight train slowly moving in the direc- tion he wished to go. With a sud- den impulse, he swung on to a car whose door was open as it slow- ly passed. Crawling inside, he sat down and leaned up against the side of the car, just beside the door. As he sat there thinking of the unusualness of his situation, he gradually became conscious of a tiny glow in one end of the car. He focused his attention on the small light for some time and with the aid of his imagination it was first one thing. and then another. Looking at one time, it seemed to be one single glowing eye glaring at him, while looking at it again it seemed to be only a spark of fire. At length he got a faint whiff of cigarette smoke and decided that it was a cigarette. But this was more alarming than ever, because a burning cigarette was usually held by somebody. Peculiar sensa- tions raced up and down his spine, at this conclusion. He had. been riding a good while already and surely it wouldn’t be very long un- till he would be in the vicinity of his destination. If only this strang- er for surely that must be what it was, would keep still untill then, all would be well. But if----? The dim glow gradually grew fainter and fainter and then went [Continued On Page Three] . slo era it the dat Wi but arc the otk roc V= ~ n o a = 6 ww or eS ey aS 2 SS oO eS a Se nt April 1945 Lunatic Legacy (Continued From Page Two) completly out. Sam sat still listen- ing to the rumbling of the freight cars and straining at every suspi- cious sound. The suspense, the wondering about the light was get- ting the best of Sam when quite suddenly out of the pitchy darkness flashed a light into his face, so bright that it completely blinded him. Almost simultaneous to the flash of a light he felt a sharp erack on his cranium and so far as Sam was concerned, this business of living seemed about over with, for he crumpled up into a heap at the side of the door. What this unknown passenger saw when he flashed the light on Sam was a very nice looking young man, well dressed and the kind of fellow that usually carries some- thing more than matches in his pockets. Being prepared for what ever he might see, this tramp had been favorably impressed with his victim. Hurriedly he had searched Sam’s pockets only to find those few dollar bills that remained. What could be more disgusting? After going to the trouble of break- a man’s head it was more than dis- gusting not to find anything but a few dollar bills. But now that this bird of evil had ended Sam’s miseries for the time being, what was to be done with him? If he could be left there, he would come to in a short while so he must act at once, and he did. At this point Sam stirred just a little and in a flash! of the eye he felt himself rolled over and then another jolt which seemed not only to jolt his brain but to jolt his whole frame because this time it was several hours before he stir- red again. He had been rolled out of the car. However, after a long time, Sam slowly raised himself to a sitting position. He blinked his eyes sev- eral times but all for naught, for it was inky black. He remembered that brighit flash of light and then | darkness and it was still dark. Where could he be? He felt that he was surrounded by something, but what? He then began to feel around him and found on one side the railroad track, while on the other was what seemed a_ huge rock wall, He sat back down. This had been an unusually long night because it was still dark. Then unconsciously he put his hand in his pocket and drew out a cigarette. That made him _ re- member that he had had more than a few cigarettes there but all else was gone. He also remembered of having put his little jagged slip of paper carefully in his shirt pocket. With much difficulty he found it still there. After search- ing his pockets he found one match. He lighted his cigarette with his one match and as he threw it aside| G he glimpsed out of the corner of his eye, by the faint light of the match, a tiny jagged slip if paper, just like the one in his pocket. His heart jumped but all was dark again and that was his last match. (To be continued next month). Miscellaneous Gifts QUILTS First Vanguard Aux., Circles 1& 2 (1). Union (KM) Church (1).

T. C. Cook VALEDICTORY! Mr. Kyles, our most efficient printer here at Barium, has just reminded me that another month has rolled around, and that it is time again for another column for the Barium Messenger. What I shall write this month is sort of Valedictory, for it is the last contribution I shall have the the privilege of making to the Messen- ger. It has been a real pleasure, do- ing this little stint each month, and I want to thank those of you who have been good enough to write me regarding my poor offering. I wish I could type in this final col- umn, all that is in my heart, and I wish I could use words that would adequately express to you the thoughts that are now crowding my mind. I am thinking mostly of the more than three hundred boys and girls here in this home; this home made possible through the generous gifts of the Presbyterians of the Synod of North Carolina. During my min- istry in the midst of the Barium boys and girls, I have learned to love thlem, almost as my very own, and while I am looking forward eagerly to my new work, I am sad- dened at the thought of leaving them behind. I must confess that it is with genuine reluctance that I make my departure. I had hoped when I came to Barium, and that hope has grown with the years, that I might spend all my days minister- ing to these boys and girls, but God has ordered otherwise. I desire, therefore, in this last message to you to make a plea for them. Don’t forget them! Continue praying for them each day; for their matrons, teachers, workers, and all those here who are charged (Continued On Page Two) | Alumni News | News has been received that A. G.

We have just come in from work because it’s raining and we can play the rest of the day. We work on the truck farm. We went to the show not long ago to see “Tarzan”. We have been playing softball and we sure do have a good time. The seniors gave a play last night and it was grand. It won’t be long till some of the boys move to another cottage and smaller boys will move to our cot- tage. —Jerry Innis. INFIRMARY Here at the Infirmary we have been having several cases of “Pink Eyes” but except for that we have had very little sickness. Our matron, Mrs. McNatt, had a visit from her daughter, Miss Rachel McNatt, and we enjoyed having her, the few days that she spent with us. Miss Frances O’Kelly has been sick and has gone away for a few weeks rest. We hope she will soon be back with us. Two of our girls made the honor roll this month. They were Lucile Smith and Jean McDonald. We only have a few more weeks of school and we are eagerly waiting on the end. Recently we have taken in sev- eral new children. They are Ther- man Andrews, Gene ,Jimmy, Mar- garet and Carolyn Hucks, Edward, Jeanette and Tommy Lane, Charles and Edith Skipper, Carl Spices, and Edsel Jerry and Richard McArthur. Good-by until next month. —The Infirmary Girls. HOWARD COTTAGE We forgot to write you last month, but we are back now with lots of things to tell you.

ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE We are looking forward to va- cation which is not so far off now. We are planning to have great times this summer. The Board of Regents are visit- ing us this week and we are glad to have them as our guests. We are to have the birthday table to- day in their honor. Carol Jean Andrews recited the Catechism this month. Last week some people from Mooresville sent us some cookies and we had a nice party. We are making improvements in our cottage each day. Some of our members will leave this summer and go to Howard, others will take their places. We will miss these old friends, but it is also nice to welcome the new ones. Many of us will take part in the Chapel program at school Friday morning. This is the last one of the year and we hope everyone will enjoy it. The play is The Wed- ing of Jack and Jill. —aAnnie Louise Girls. BABY COTTAGE Won’t you please sit down and play with us?

It won’t be long untii school will be out and then we can start going barefooted and going in swimming. One of our girls, Peggy Ann Collins, who was at the Infirmary with three broken toes, has come back to our cottage. It is nice to have her back. We hope Betty Ann Andrews will soon come home. She has been down there in bed for a long time and would love for all of you to go down and see her. We haven’t had much warm weather, and it is almost the mid- dle of May. Maybe it will soon turn warm - we hope so. Well, it won’t be long until the jat the right time and place every time, but we are not even in the first grade, so maybe you won’t mind. “My Daddy just won’t write to me”, said Susie Truelove, and Loretta Katen consoles her. “Don’t you know why? He’s in Germany, and they don’t have pencils, paper and nothin.” “I know its summer now, ’cause bugs, snakes and worms are crawl- in”, chimes in Mary Rose Privette. Donnie Harris: “Div me back my ittle yellow car, now I say!” Chas.

I have prayed for and dreamed of this proposed new Church almost every moment of my ministry here. I know so well how badly such a structure is needed. Not only do we need a new Church, but we need, and we need it very, very much, adequate facilities for Christian Educational work. Only those who | are trying to carry on our religious program at Barium know the handicaps under which we work. All of our Sunday Schools work has to be carried on in our day-school class rooms, with the exception of the older boys Bible class that meets in Little Joe’s Church. I plead with you to keep sending in your memorial gifts. Hasten that day when through your continued gen- erosity, the children here can re- ceive all that a well equipped church plant can offer. Let us have enough funds to build a Church that will be not just a pile of bricks, but a structure so beautiful that if our children never hear a word spoken within its walls, they shall be given as they enter it an awareness of God. Help make my dream come true. Thank you again for your loyal support of Barium - your prayers your letters, your interest shown in so many ways. Pray for me in my new work, and know that I shall be remembering you and your great Home at Barium each day before His throne of grace. cl ieee nae | Donnie Privette: “Myrtle I don’t | love you any more, I like wild on- ions”, | It is so nice and warm that Ad- rian Cochran, Billy Harrison, Jim- mie Harris and Tommie Lane are rolling over and over on the grass.

By almost super- human effort he managed to roll over to one side just as the through express train swept through the tunnel leaving him trembling with fright and exhaustion. It was sev- eral minutes before he could scram- ble to his feet but the cold water that was running over him from a fissue in the rock served to bring him back to a realization of where he was. By this time hiis eyes were accustomed to the darkness so that it was possible to see the blurred outline of objects. By grasping a jutting rock he was able to pull himself out of the ditch and _ ice cold water. There beside his hand was the piece of paper he had seen by the light of his match only a few minutes before, although it seemed like an age. That is was the same paper he recognized by its jagged outline. Of course he was all eagerness to read it but = un- fortunately he had used his last match, What would he do? He would have to get out of the tunnel in or- der to get light. His foot, now that he was moving about, was paining him considerably and this tended to sober him and plan his exit more carefully than would other- wise have happened. By looking first in one direction and then in the other, he could see a faint glow in one direction but inky blackness in the other. Realizing this glow must be the nearer end of the tun- nel he started in that direction, walking as best he could in the darkness and with a lame foot. Fortunately there was a _ fairly smooth footpath between the track and the wall of the tunnel and with exercise his foot began to feel bet- ter so that he made fairly good progress. Suddenly a deafening roar was heard behind him, and laying flat against the wall escap- ed injury from the long freight train that was rushing through to the valleys below. After this inter- ruptioin he pushed on and in a short time came suddenly into the bright sunlight, for the sun was rising over the hills in the east. Sam was now eager to see the slip of paper which he had in his pocket, but he was sore and his foot and bruises pained him so that he was thankful for a seat on the boulder in the warm sunshine. Now that he could read the paper he was afraid to read to find his fate, fearful of what it might or might not tell. Carefully drawing it from his pocket he saw that it roughly matched the paper in his shirt pocket, and was certain the one he had first seen in the tunnel. But the first quick glance showed him his fate was not to be revealed by it. It was merely a scrap of paper hurled from a train that had found lodgment in a crevice there to be picked up by him. On it was a date two or three years previous to this time which conclusively showeed it had nothing to do with him. This was a blow to Sam. As he sat on the stone he began, for the first time, to think seriously of whlat he was doing and he began to realize how foolishly he had been acting. His conduct was worthy of the most untutored mind. Essen- tially he had been governed by the idea of luck, of fate, in fact, the chief motive was very near super- stition. The action of his father, he began to realize, was that of an unbalanced mind, or else it was designed tc wake him out of him- self to a realization of how un- profitable his life was becoming— how vain his ambitions. His first thought was to try to get back to Asheville which was some thirty miles away but feeling that he would like to be alone for a time he decided against that. With his mind made up to think out his problem like a man, he set off down the railroad track. He was sore and bruised and his foot [Continued On Page Three] ae s ma m a a @ r e o O m t a n v o r w r u v r w s 2 a ee a ae a ee | May 1945 THE BARIUM MESSENGER Page Three 7 100 00 S S Cl b Statesville First ................-. 165.50] Vass Aux ow C Alice & Don Harris ........-. 5.00, Lieut.

His late experience in the tunnel made him resolve that he would confine himself strictly to places on the earth, He wanted no more under the earth or in bowels of the earth, “Terra Firma,, was good enough for him, he thought as some man suggested there were adventures he could seek “in the air” if he wanted variety in his experence. Besides his money was getting low and how was he to make anymore. A job was just at hand, the rain had done so much damage and then ever so many washouts, there was an immediate demand for his help to repair Nature’s damage. Shoul- der your pick-axe and shovel and come and help us out. Sam thought such a job was much beneath his dignity, but he had to have some- thing to pay for his daily bread. He felt sorry for himself that he didn’t have a father to whom he could turn for wherewithall to spend. Perhaps it was good for him now he had to meet single handed all such emergencies. His athletic ex- perence had toughened him a little for this hard work, but whether bitter or sweet he never complain- ed. The gentleman who was boarding at the house still interested him very much. He proved to be a very literary man representing a New York periodical, attracted by the world renowned reputation of Ashe- ville as a summer resort, and while he was down here he said he was going to make a close study of the mountain people. He used to re- hearse at the supper table every night the fruits of works and words among them, said he was charmed with them, their integrity, their sincerety and their naivite. He used to invite Sam to attend with him some of their social functions, but Sam was too tired every night after his hard days work for social life. But all Mr. Blank said about moun- tain people, Sam took to himself, for was not he a mountaineer once, his father had been one of them and look how his father had risen to a position of honor and wealth, and for the first time in his life he realized he was proud of his father even if he hadn’t left him any legacy except that curious puzzle. It occured to him that per- haps his father wouldn’t be proud of him if he could see him at his present job, but necessity was laid upon him in this case. The road had to be repaired and he had to have some money to get away. But be- fore he got away there was another question he had to settle, there was 2 teacher wanted for a mountain school and they had asked him to qualify. He was a university grad- uate and would he bury his talent to that style? He would be ashamed for any of his former friends to see or hear him doing such an insig- nificant job, Oh well he didn’t have any purpose in life, and since they hesreed him so hard he consented to trv it a few months. A sneaking idea crept up in the back part of his brain any how that he ought to be willing to do a little for his own people and so like Mi- eawber while he was waiting for the next thing to turn up, he started a school for his mountain brothers sisters. He only thought he would endure the job for a few months and to his utmost surprise he found himself getting interested in his job. Away in the dim past, he had heard some Y. M. C. A, secre- tary talk about investing your life where it would bring the largest returns and that thought kept bob- bing up in his mind now. Fi He was helping those mountain boys and girls wonderfully, devel- oping them physically, socially and mentally but that was as far as he could carry the fourfold life devel- opment recommeded by the M. c. A. Sam went into their home but he was in despair over the bread they made and put on the table be- fore him . But courtesy forbids his It made him think and saying anything. 1 of a verse he read once in the [Continued On Page Four] Barium’ Messenger 26,000 Published Monthly By Presbyterian Orphans’ Home For the Information of Its Friends Vol. 22 Mr. J. F. Stinson The farm at Barium Springs is one of our big enterprizes. It is a man-sized job to keep everything on it co-ordinated, to get crops in the ground, to get them properly har- vested. Alfalfa has a habit of sneak- ing up on a wheat harvest and crab grass just sneaks up on you any time. Mr. Stinson has been the farm boss for several years. He has been a most faithful employee of the orphanage for many years before that. The farm has prospered under his management, and the yields of erain, hay and other crops have been consistently good. A lot of things have to be kept going smoothly for this depart- ment to pay off. There are two tractors, two trucks, nine mules, about eighty sheep, and some twen- ty-five boys. Stir all that up and you can get a lot of headaches if they don’t mix right. Mr. Stinson manages to keep all of this moving along so smoothly that many of us have gotten in the habit when our own headaches pile up on us to take a trip around the farm and relax. Somewhere on the farm we will see something to re- vive our enthusiasm. We delight to do our honor to this man who finds something to do 365 days in the year, and a lot of the nights. Sines Orchard Home Has House-Warming The Sipes Orchard Home had a house-warming on Sunday, June 10th. Now the weather was such that a house could warm up with very little effort on that particular day, and the crowd of friendly, cordial people who gathered to look through this new institution would warm anybody’s heart. It was our good fortune to go with a group from Barium Springs to look through the initial building of this enterprise. The location is perfect - right near a Church and not too far from a school, The building would make an orphanage man just a little envious. It is built so sturdily, and yet with an eye to comfort and beauty. It will soon, no doubt, be the home of twenty- two boys and we all wish for them the splendid career that this open- ing seems to predict. Reverend L. C. Pretty is the superintendent. He has made many visits to Barium He is a kindly man and enthusiastic for his work. We believe he is e- quipped to absorb the headaches and irritations that work with chil- dren sometimes develops; that he can face these things without turn- ing sour, that he can retain his sense of proportion and be looked upon as a true father to the boys whl will come under his care. As a neighbor in the same line of work, we at Barium wish him and his as- sociates well, and we hope there may be many pleasant contacts be- tween these institutions. See Page Three For Honor Roll Of Boys And Girls In Service The senior class of 1945 contrib- uted money for a Display Cabinet giving the names of all the boys and girls in the service from Ba- rium Springs and this immediate vicinity. A copy of this roll is being dis- played on the third page of thle Mes- senger. There are two hundred and twelve names on it. Those with a star in front of their names have lost their lives in the service. This Roll is not exactly a Church Roll, it is not exactly an Orphanage Roll, nor a School Roll, but all of the names here belong to our commun- ity. They either grew up in the Or- phanage, were members of our Church, or attended our school, or were members of our staff. They truly belonged to our family. We haive not indicated where they are serving nor what rank the various individuals have attained. We do have the addresses of most of these member : of our family and send them a letter at least every two weeks. | Honor Roll FOR SIX WEEKS ENDING MAY 25TH. First Grade—Charles Creech.

(Continued On Page Two) Geraldine Blue of Elon College | No. 9 | Annual Meeting of Board of Regents Held Here In May The annual meeting of the Board of Regents was held at Barium on May 15th. It was a record breaker in a number of ways. All commit- tees except one met on the after- noon and night of the 14th, and many of these committees had a full attendance. On the day of the meeting only one man member was absent and two of the women. Sev- enteen of the twenty being in at- tendance. Two of the absentees had attended an Executive Committee meeting just the week before so they might be credited with an at- tendance at this meeting. At the spring meeting a lot of attention is usually given to the finances, and the financial report this year was good, but more time was spent in looking into the real work of the orphanage and a re- view was made of the various en- tries since way back in 1931, There was one child in the graduating class who entered that year - four- teen years ago. The review took up each year’s list of entrants and a brief study was made of what had been done in a physical and educational way for each of them, where they had gone, and what they are doing now. Three members of the Board were attending their last meeting. The limitation for length of service on the Board being set by Synod at two terms. The retiring members are J. S. McKnight of Shelby wh« has been chairman of the Finance Committee for many years. Mr. Mc- Knight’s faithfulness in attendance and his close attention to the de- tails of the duties of his committee have made him a most valuable member of the Board. Mrs. J. M. Walker of Charlotte has for sever- ;al years been chairman of the Case Work Committee which each year reviews the intake and the outgo and the general run of applications that come to the Orphanage. Her committee, reviews the real work of the institution and her interest and enthu sm for the work of that committee has certainly put more enthusiasm into our work nere. Mr. S. Parks Alexander of Dur- i e third member to retire y . He has been on several committees, most of his work being on the Finance Committee. The successors to these three members will be elected at the Fall meeting of the Synod. Along about the middle of each month, there is a Birthday Dinner Birthday Dinner in May came so ne to the Regent’s meet- | ing that it was moved up one day |so that the Regents could be guests. {Continued On Page Four] and the Barium Springs, N.

Mrs. Massey, Miss Whitner, and Miss Bryant went home for a rest and we sure do miss them. Our new matrons are Miss Taylor and Nina Berryhill. We have three new house girls, the Coffey twins and Mary Morgan. At first we couldn’t under- stand how one girl could be around all the time but now we catch on. There are two of them just alike. Donnie Privett had company last week and so did Tommy Lane and Buddy Cochran. We went on a walk after supper yesterday and stopped by the swim- ming pool. The pool was being fill- ed so we went wading while it fit us instead of the big boys and girls. While trying to keep us from fall- ing Katherine Arrowood gave a big splash and boy did she get wet!

The printing office of Barium Springs, named after Franklin Ayery Sherill in a loving memorial to his wife, Jenny White Sherill, is approximately four years, three days, and a matter of hours old. It has served us faithfully, keep- ing out stormy weather, rough winds, and blistering heat. There are four hundred and forty five windows in the printing office and out of four years of service three have been broken. The printing office consists of five boys growing in wisdom of the art of printing everyday. We shall start at the bottom and discuss these learners.

Most of the accidents are of a minor charactor but oc- casionally there are serious cidents. We have heard a number of parents state that looking back ac- over their families’ growing years they found that each child aver- aged one serious accident a year, Well, with something 300 children that would mean a serious accident pretty near every day. We don’t have that many but we act as though we expected that many and we take double precau- tions to keep them from happen- ing. Somehow we expect these things to happen during the sum- mer, and since there are so many over dare-devil things to do at camp, we expect them to happen at camp. So far we haven’t had a single serious accident at camp. A broken ankle is the sum total of our casualties there in all the years that we have been maintain- ing the camp, but this year we had a serious accident in connection with the camp. It happened one Monday morning when everybody was supposed to be starting into their week’s work cautiously and carefully, but a truck load of boys had to go out to the camp on an errand. They went out before breakfast and were comming back and the boy who was driving the truck just had an uncontrollable desire to press down with his right- big toe, (you drivers know that that is the toe that steps on the gas,) as a result the truck went too fast to negotiate a curve and turned several sumersaults, finally landing upside down with boys pretty well scattered over the highway and an adjoining cow pasture. There were something like ten boys on the truck - all were more or less shaken up and one was seriously hurt. His head was cut in so many places that it took the doctor two hours and a half to do his stitching - we don’t know whether each stitch saved nine but they were taken in time - and resulted in a marvelous re- covery for that boy. If you look closely you may observe the scars but they are not disfiguring. Nevertheless for a few days after this accident all of us were ex- tremely uneasy about the lad’s welfare. We hope that this will be our one and only serious ac- cident for the year. The children are not the only ones who are crazy about vaca- tions - the grownups are too, and there is never a week during the whole summer when a full staff of regular workers are here. This summer Barium is very fortunate in having a splinded crew of sub- stitute workers. Miss Duke who worked with us last summer is here, Miss Brown from Red Springs, Miss Myatt, Miss Cullom, Miss Privette, and Miss Moose. And then members of our own family - Miss Irene McDade one hill and Dixie Buie, recent grad- uates who will be going to college this fall; Sarah) Parcell who is one of our students at WCUNC. Mrs. Purdy is back - she came back as a substitute but we are hoping that she will continue as a regular for at least another year. Mrs. Purdy has a magic touch about her that makes the dining-room just look like home, and every- body at Barium was most enthusi- astic over her return. 5 In spite of the fact that these substitute matrons are doing such an excellent job there are times when embarrassing things happen. Here’s one. Early this summer a little boy entered the orphanage - he is about three years old, a healthy-looking, plump little boy. He had a knot right in the middle of his little fat stomach just as though he had swollowed a thim- ble and it had worked up near the surface. Well, he was taken to the doctor and he did not think it was any‘hing serious - the re- gular nurse was told this and we went ahead not worrying, but a- bout a week ago this lad waked up one morning with a pain in his stomach and the substitute mat- ron, seeing that knot on his sto- mach, came to the conclusion that there was something serious the matter with him. It happened that our nurse was away, Miss Carpen- ter was away, and everyone was away who had any knowledge of the original examination, s9 we had to hustle the child into the hospital for a complete exami- nation. He is back at Barium now none the worse for wear but he had a lot of needles in his arm during the fortyeight hours he was under observation in the hospital. Now we all know that the little knot in his stomach which seems to be disappearing is nothing ser- ious and in the future he won’t have to undergo those painful punctures. In passing we will say that his stay at the hospital was not with- out profit to this boy. They were so crowded that they made a place for him in the hall on the floor where many nurses, doctors and patients pass. He wasn’t com- ‘pletely happy but was ready to return a smile to everyone who passed him and greeted him. As a result, he collected an amazing amount of toys and things. There was just about all one _ person could carry, of toys, funny picture books and fruit, and in his bed we gathered up money two quarters, four dimes, fifteen nic- kels, thirty-five pennies, and a big English penny - that was the result of a forty-eight hour stay in the hospital. Who was it said that doctors and nurses were too busy to pay any attention to a little kid, or that patients were too wrapped up in their own miseries that they could not see anybody else in trouble? What about crops and such? The summertime is when we do of the teachers; and Nina Berry-| our big farming, as you know; it is also the time when we have a lot of w er. There is the alfalfa to cut, wheat, oats and barley to harvest, corn to plant and to cultivate, something to do to vegetables every hour of theg day or night, fruit trees to bef sprayed and pruned and the fruit® gathered. Jt has to be dry for making hay; it has to rain to make the corn grow; storms play havoc with everything. The busi- ness of diversified farming something not intended for a pes- simist to indulge in - there is some- thing going wrong all the time. It rains on the hay, it is too dry for the corn, The wind blows the friut off the trees and blows the wheat down - something is going wrong all the time. On the other hand, an optimist can flourish like the green bay tree; no matter what happens, unless it is a bad storm,} it is good for something. He may have a lot of hay down and a rain will come up and spoil that hay but he can shrug it off by saying that the rain did the corn lots! more good than it hurt the hay; | or, if there should be a week or | two of dry weather, that’s just} fine for harvest and for doing the} spraying and such, and although the corn may wilt and look ‘sick, | the optimist can comfort himself by saying that he is getting so! much work done in the other crops} that maybe the corn can stand a little dry weather anyhow. Oh, yes, we were about to for- get - insects summer is their | time too. Flies all seem to know! when the dinner bell rings and ride joyfully into the dining-room on the backs of the children - they just like company. The mosquitoes seem to know where every slight hole is in every screen. Don’t tell us that mosquitoes can’t talk. But these are ihild little pests com- pared to the vegetable-eating kind, potato bugs, bean beetles, Curculia flies whose children are those cute little worms that you bite into when you think you are eating a peach, Then there is plant lice, and we could go on like this for hours and it seems that each one of them has a little different poison to make them desist. It means that a man who runs an orchard or a truck farm has to pretty nearly take a Ph. D. in Chemistry know exactly what poison to use on what date and what crop, but that is better than the days when a boy’s afternoon work consisted | in a pretty good-sized bottle of potato bugs gathered by his own | shrinking fingers. Why in the! world there isn't a bird that likes| potato bugs we wouldn't know! | But, there are watermelons, cante- | loupes, peaches and grapes, all to make us forget the bugs, end we can add up each day, or each week, or each month and put the head- aches on one side and the delights | on the other and we just have :o! admit that it is a pretty good o!4 summertime. is to Nevertheless, along toward the shank of summer on those _ hot August days and nights when we don’t need a blanket, when the grownfolks are all hurrying away to get those last vacations finis- ed, we can’t help but listen eagerly for the first twinkle of the schooi bell that calls us back to those delightful books and those beauti- ful days when everybody is cn the job and we can take a vacstion from vacations! | Reflections of A Wayfaring [Continued From Page One] would be too polite to say anything disloyal or in any way derogatory about Barium, but we did want, to see the expression on his face, we were relieved to see a smile ghich we interpreted as being one of self- satisfaction after going through cur grounds and seeing the chil- dren gathering for the Wednes- day evening Prayer Meeting. After a not-so-happy Charlotte (there was on the way) we spent the night at Dr. Bradford’s home. Maybe we ought to stop right here and put in a paragraph of praise for this worthy gentleman. You know, maybe it is just ordinary hospi- tality that will induce a man to invite a friend to spend the gight in his home and to furnish him a delayed supper, and maybe a per- son isn’t to be commended too highly for giving up two days of a very busy practice to devote it entirely for the benefit of an or- phanage, but when a man volun- teers to use his car for a trip of some 350 miles with the wear and tear on tires and the burning up of precious gasoline, that stamps him as one of the true nobility. Well, that’s the class that Dr. Bradford belongs in. We were a- fraid to risk our car with its damaged tires on the trip to South Carolina and Dr. Bradford used his. We made a rather early start, Mr. Archie Cannon meeting us in Charlotte, picking up Mrs. Coit Robinson at Lowell, and Mrs. George Patterson at Gastonia. We went down through Spartanburg where we could smell the peaches as they were gathered and offered for sale. It took much restraint to to a blow-out trip keep our minds on the job at hand, | namely, to get on to Thornwell where we could look over that wonderful institution and have the mid-day meal with them. We ar- rived there and were greeted most cordially by their new _ superin- tendent, Reverend Malcolm Mac- donald, and by many, many old friends there: Mrs. Copeland, Mr. Stutts, to-mention just two. It was good to be in this splendid Presby- erian institution to refresh our memories of the wonderful work that this institution has done in the past and the enthusiasm witb which the present head faces the future. We went through a num- ber of buildings there - too many in fact - and some of our party be- gan to be conscious that their feet were doing an unusual day’s work, and: most of us began to be con- scious of our birthdays - we had too many for that many stairs to climb and places to see. By mid-afternoon we started out for the last place on the sche- dule - Connie Maxwell Orphanage at Greenwood, South Carolina. This is an institution which is spread over so much ground that you can get in the middle of it be- fore you realize that you are in an institution. We located the office and were met in the yard in the front of the office-by Dr. Jami- son who called each one of us by |name and made us feel so much at home and so welcome that we just wanted to take off our coats and hats and spend the rest of the summer with him. You know some of us who hiave been in or- phanage work for twenty-three years or thereabout are _ inclined to think of ourselves as veterans, and at times get off into a corner and heap a lot of self-praise on ourselves for enduring so long. Well, we asked Dr. Jamison how long he had been the head of Con- nie Maxwell Orphanage - he non-}| chalantly said forty six years,” and he is still an up and coming man, ready to take on any new policy or program that appears to be sound and progressive. Some- how in the presence of Dr. Jami- son we feel immature and childish, and the things that we might con- gratulate ourselves on having ac- complished shrink to rather small proportions in the light of his ac- complishments. We took a_ bird’s eye view of Connie Maxwell Or- Phanage. and went into several buildings - the gymnasium, the ) Do My PAGI TWO Church - but we did not begin to | see enough, Our party was tired and we were a long way m home and our visit there was all but too short. You just hate to leave Dr. Jamison ever; he wanted us to stay and have supper with them and every time we think thiat there’s a longing in our hearts, not only for the good things that we would have had to eat. but for the pleasant contacts would have made with the other mem- bers of the Connie Maxwell staff. We journeyed on home, picking up some lucious peaches on the way - peaches that Mr. Cannon, our president, insisted on paying for. We were riding on gas that Dr. Bradford insisted on paying for, and we found ourselves at home finally with most of the money still intact that we had pro- vided for the trip. Now, what are the conclusions: Well, we found all of these institu- tions are up and coming affairs. They have been doing things some times where we have just talked about them. You know Barium Springs rather prides itself on be- ing the institution that paved the way in inter-school athletics; the kind that caused the youngsters to lift up their chins and know that they could do anything that anybody else could. Well, we found the other institutions that had fol- lowed along in this respect have much nearer complete equipment than Barium. The Junior Order Home and Connie Maxwell Or- phanage have splendid gyfmnas- iums. The Children’s Home and Thornwell have the money in sight to build fine gymnasiums at both places. The (Mills Home is just try- ing to decide where to locate theirs and Barium’s gymnasium is still in those Castles in the Air. Barium is very far behind in the ways of transporting children. It is the only institution that doesn’t have some bus_ transportation that is the only one outside of Thornwell; Thornwell being right in the town of Clinton does not need a bus as some of the other institution do. ; All of the institutions have the same program in keeping buildings in repair. Somehow where children are housed paint will wear off; window glass will occasionally be broken; plaster will break; and houses will leak. Balls and such things will fall on a roof and will sometimes break the slate. Ba- rium at times has had to reach pretty deep into the bank account to keep its equipment ship shape. Just a year ago our repair bil] was $23,000.00. It made us fee] better when we found several institu- tions exceeding this amount and one, more than doubling it in one year’s repair bill. of we We all came back home feeling much better about a lot of things, and we believe that the main cause of that feeling was meeting these other orphanage folks. We chal- lenge anybody to attempt to dis- prove that statement. If you will make a trip to the five orphanages that we visited, meet their super- intendent and staff, you will just come away thinking better of hu- manity and the world in general. If you happen to get a chance to meet the kids just as man to man, you will come away enthusiastic about the world in general. This reminds us of something: While we were at Mills Home we were surrounded at one time by a bunch of little boys from five to ten years old - they were getting rea- dy to go in swimming. One of us mentioned something about veeth and they were all intent on show- ing us how clean their teeth were. One of them hid a slightly crook- ed front tooth; it was due to a baby tooth that had stayed in too long.

When Mary saw this she broke forth again with louder lamenta- tions than before, but Sam finally sueceeded in curbing sobs into snif- fles, and closing the schoolhouse, and taking her hand, he walked down the road on his way to his boarding house. a Coming to the path leading to the McNair cabin, he yieldgd to her pleas that he should walk home with her, possibly in the hope that he might satisfy himself who the boarder really was. As they rounded a bend in the path, he saw ahead of him, a young lady but could not recognize her at that distance. Mary, seeing the lady also, let go of his hand and ran forward, calling at the top of her voice, “Miss Jenny, Miss Jen- ny, Mr. Sam has come home with me.” Then, as he came nearer the waiting girl, he realized with a start, that he really did love Jen- ny Priest whl stood before him and that he loved_her as he had never loved another girl. He could not define this feeling, yet it seemed to shake his very being and he could only stammer and stut- ter instead of speaking. “Why, Mr. Smith! What in the world are you doing here! I never! thought of you as a mountaineer school teacher!” exclaimed Jenny., Explanations followed and fare work among the people. “These are really my people,” she said, “My mother was a_ na- tive mountaineer.” “So was my father” said Sam and I like them now that I realize their rough exteriors really hide hearts of gold.” Seating themselves on a log by the side of the pathway, they talk- ed for quie awhile and finally Jen- ny asked Sam what he had learn- ed about the mysterious writing she had read in the hotel at Ashe- ville. He told her of his experiences and added that he had given up all hope. “T knew your father well,” she said, and although some _ people said he did some mighty crazy things, I found there was a meth- od in all of apparent madness. I believe that your father had special reasons for doing this cra- zy stunt and, although I can’t im- agine they should be, I am sure they are strong ones and I don’t think we should give up yet.” “I don't care a rap for the mo- ney,” cried Sam, “but I would give anything to see Dad once more or just to know that he is safe and well.” “What makes you think that he is not safe and well,” said Jenny. “Where in the world could he be then,” Sam replied. “Didn’t you say that he was a mountain boy?” “What better place could he find to disappear than right here among the moun- tains?”’ was the reply. “T am almost tempted to try again,’ said Sam. “Tomorrow is Saturday and I will not have to teach school.” So arragements were made to; begin the following day and, after | eating supper, they sat on the, porch far into the night, discuss- ing the matter and wondering where to begin. “If doubtful but daring get your inspiration where the creek does a toe dance and water runs up hill, feed your imagination where the hills juggle the jaggernaut. Find your information at the 18th hole.” quoted Sam “I know the answer to the first part of the yiddle—Andrew’s Guyser,” he added, and the second part surely must refer to the hills and huge trains running around and through them, said Jenny, “but the rer ference to the eighteenth hole, Iwhen the noise had THE BARIUM MESSENGER PAGE THREE don’t understand. If your father; diminished to emable him to make Alymni News ever played golf, I never heard of it.” “He never did,” said Sam, “He despised it, and always said he never had time for such _ sissy games, So he couldn’t have meant anything connected with golf.” Just then a shrill blast from the engine of a freight train, rushing down the track a few miles away, came to their ears, but was sud- denly hushed as the train entered a tunnel, “The Eighteenth tunnel,” Ex- claimed Jemny, “Why didn’t we think of it before?” In her excitement, she grasped both his hands and whirled him round and round in a kind of im- provised dance. At the touchof her fingers a thrill shot through Sam and it was all ne could do to re- frain from crushing her to him, covering her lips with kisses, pouring out his love for her and beseeching her to be his wife. But he reflected in time. What assurance hiad he that she cared for him or, even if she did, what prospects did he have to get mar- ried on? Only a few dollars of a meagre salary he had earned since he had been teaching here. So he turned away saying goodnight and going within the cabin he climbed to the loft where he was to share the bed with one of the he! grown boys of the McNair family found that Jenny was doing wel-! morntain | and Jenny went to her room and prepared to retire for the night. The next morning he awaked early and, dressing hurriedly, climbed down the ladder from the loft, only to find that all of the family were before him and even Jenny had made her appearence. Breakfast was then served, con- sisting of fried chicken, hoe cake, gravy and blackberry jam and butter, served because of the double honor conferred on the family by the presence of the boarder from the city and the school teacher. After breakfast a lunch was pre- pared by Mrs. McNair and Sam and Jenny set off across the woods tramping towards the eighteenth tunnel, which was only a few miles from the McNair cabin. Arriving near the tunnel they stopped beside a spring of sparkling water and ate their lunch. Just as they reached the en- trance, a train roared by and they shrunk back from the rush of air that followed it. They then entered the tunnel and began to search between the rails and beside the track for any scrap of paper. They had the least bearing on_ their had the least bearring on their quest. Returning to the east en- trance, they sat beside he track dejectedly, but, after they had rested, they began again and this time made a more thorough search, going over the ground inch by inch. Several times they had to run from the tunnel to escape trains, rushing through, on their way down the mountains; for the tunnel was too narrow to permit their remaining inside while the train passed through, without being erushed against the wall. Time passed swiftly and, by the time they had finished their second search, it was begining to be dark ‘outside the tunnel. They returned again to the east entrance and seated themselves on the embank- ment beside the track to rest. “What was the postscript on the note?” asked Jenny. “THIS MAY BE PRETTY. BUT FOR PURPOSE OF IDENTIFI- CATION, NOTHING BEATS A SNAGGLE TOOTH” replied Sam. Just then, a train rounded the curve and the light from the engine shown in the tunnel, lighting it up as bright as day. : “Look, Look!” cried Sam. “Did you see it?” He exclamed sufficiently himself heard. “Yles,” answered Jenny, “Just like a huge mouth with one single | tooth.” Indeed, it had looked that way; of the left-hand side of the tunnel, human mouth with a single tooth of the lower jaw. Sam rushed in and ran to the place underneath the fissure but, try as he may he could not reach it. He tried to climb the side of the tunnel but could find nq place for his feet; for the sides of the tunnel were smother near the lower part. He tried to jump up and grasp the rock with his fingers, but could not quite reach it. Jenny had rushed in behind him and now she, also tried to scale the walls in fevered excitement but there were no projections on which even her small feet could find support. Sam was in despair. “Lift me up, and let me get it,” said Jenny. Grasping her by the knees Sam swung her up and hold- ing the wall with one hand and thrusting her hand in the crevice she pulled out an envelope. Just then a rear filled the tunnel and looking up they were both horrified to see the light of an approaching train. Jenny stood as if petrified, but Sam clasping her in his arms, rushed towards the entrance to the tunnel. Would he reach it! Must they both be killed in the moment of success? Just as the train was on him, he reached the entrance of the tunnel, but his foot slipped and as he fell he threw Jenny from him with all his force but noted that she rolled from the track and disappeared idwn the embank- ment. Then an excrucing pain shot through his leg and he knew no more, TO BE CONTINUED Reflections of A Wayfaring [Continued From Page Twol to the lad with the tooth, and he just as casually said, “Well, pull it out then,” and we proceeded to pull it out. The tooth wasn’t very loose, ‘it took a pretty good effort on our part to loosen it and the gore fol- ‘lowing the pulling was somewhat excessive for a lad of that size, but it didn’s spoil his grin for a mo- ment. He strutted around, spitting blood, and bragging to the other kids by his very expression, and they all followed him very admir- ingly down to the swimming pool for their afternoon’s frolic. Some day you will see that boy making a touchdown in football and hand- ing the ball to the referee with the same expression on his face that he had when he stuck his tongue in the place where that tooth used to be. Well, the day was finally over and about eleven o’clock we found ourselves at home, in bed and checking up on the two days’ ex- perience. You know we had per- sonally visited all of these institu- tions before - it was the first vis- it for most of the members of the Board who made the trip. As a re- sult our thoughts dwelt more on the members of our Board who had so generously given of their time to make this trip. It gave us a warm feeling. We felt more secure in our thoughts about our wonderful institution here than we had ever felt before. We felt that we could “follow the guidance of people who were intent on knowing about the work, and that we need not be a fraid that they would lead us in-o paths that might be hurtful to the future in his field to which this work is dedicated. We hope that the contacts made with these other in- stitutions will be kept fresh and [Continued From Page One] see us recently. Lt. Sam Lackey is stationed at Sebring, Fla., now.

W, Norfleet , Reflection On V-J Day By R. S. ARROWOOD “This is the day we long have sought And mourned because we found it not. The day of peace—once more the Lost Chord of the angels song, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men been found. flags are furled in the parliament of nations, the federation of the} world.” Death dealing bombers but seconds away from their target orders from headquarters and turned away from destruction to drop their bomb loads harmlessly in the ocean. } nas rot & the Today our boys in Europe and Asia and Australia and the islands of the sea. in the bleak and barren Aleutian Islands, in fleets of ships and submarines cruising on the deep turned their hearts homeward as ] And the joy bells ring the land and there is a new song in the hearts of mil- nearly four years have waited and prayed for the return of the boys in the service. ith great joy they learned that peace is here. t throughout lions who fi Perhaps in our reflections on V-J Day there is mixed with our y a touch of sadness, sadness for those who gave their lives in this struggle, two hundred and fifty thousand of them, and for the hundreds of thousands more who are wounded and maimed in the great conflict. Our gallant leader, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was one of the casualties of the conflict. Our hearts are saddened with the thought of how near he led us to the end, how close was victory, but death cheated him of that triumph. It could as truly be written of him as of another great war president; “O Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eye the steady keel the vegsel grim and daring? But Oh heart! heart! heart! O thle bieeding drops of red Where on the deck my Captain lies, fallen cold and dead. The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage is closed and done, From the fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won. Exult, O shores and ring O bells; but with mournful tread Walk the deck My Captain lies, fallen, cold, and dead.” So with our prayers of thanksgiving for the peace we utter one to those who have given their boys in this great struggle, that God would comfort them and give toe them the vision and faith of an elder of Roanoke, Virginia, whose son was a combat pilot killed in the early Gays of the war. In his faith the father penned these lines: “They say that he’s gone; But I know that he swings On up to God's throne On his heavenly wings, And I hear his clear call To the station up there, To give him the beam That his landing be fair. They say that he’s dead, But I know that he’s not; For the words that he said I have never forgot: “If I crash in my plane Do not feel sorry for me, For I'll fly on again Through the heavens” said he. “ When you're crying down here Maybe doubting God’s love, I'll be laughing up there In the heavens above; And someday when you come In your plane, soon or late, I'll be waiting, close home At the heavenly gate.” So I feel every night As I look at the stars That I see him in flight Around Venus and Mars And on out into space Through the Pleiades, seven With a smile on his face, A sky pilot of heaven. Another fruitful reflection on V-J Day would be whether or not we have well learned the lessons of the war. The war has indeed been a call to repentance and prayer and faith. Those who have had boys in the conflict have learned to wait and pray. Men cast adrift in the deep, men coming in “on a wing and a prayer”, men jn the heat and us are the halcyon days of peace probably as great prosperity as it was after the war on the rising tide of production and the apending of large savings that have been affected during the war. It is well to reflect whether we may keep this sense of our need of God's com- fort and blessing, ovr repentance for sin, our consecration for his service. We may well call to mind the words of Kipling, “The tumult and the shouting dies; The captain and the kings depart; Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and contrite heart: Lord God of Hosts, be with you, Lest we forget.” Still it is right and proper that we should have great thankfulness and pride in the great country that God has given us and the great joy in her majestic destiny. Surely God has raised up the United States to this position of unparalled power and influence to carry out his great eternal purposes in the leadership of the nation into a higher way of life. It is a sober reflection on this V-J Day as to whether or not our nation is prepared to assume and to carry out its role as a great leader of nations and our prayer should be that God would bless our nation and enable it to worthily assume that great responsibility “The war drums throb no longer and tae battle! thus laid upon it by divine providence. “Thou too sail on O ship of State, Sail on O Union strong and great. Humanity with all its fears With all its hopes of future years Is hanging breathless on thy fate. Our hearts, our hopes are all with Thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our fears Are all with Thee, are all with Thee. Another reflection which might engage our minds on this V-J Day is that if peace is to be permanent, Christ must rule. The Lord has said through His prophet, Isaiah, “The government shal] be upon His shoulders and His name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor; the Mighty God; the Everlasting Father; the Prince of Peace. The Peace of the world can only be kept in His name and spirit for in Him and in Him alone js “Mercy and truth are met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” And yet another reflection for V-J Day is the fact that today we enter a new world. We have arrived at the end of an era and as we close the pages of the history of the greatest and most war the world has ever known, we open another book. book contains only God knows. To us the future is all unknown but we know that if it is lived in His love and fear and according to the | principels which He has given to us through His Son the future is as bright for us and for the world as the promises of God and as glorious as our faith can appropriate and realize. “He who hath helped us hitherto will help us all our journey through,” We are reminded again of the Christmas message of the King of England to his people over the radio in the dark days of 1939. “And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied, “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand if God; That will be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.’” n destructive What that > News From Some of the Cottages At Barium ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Infirmary. strain of the conflict have learned the meaning of prayer.

Then tat me fix you up. Sam found himself laughing in spite of himself, but he was im- patient to get some news of Jenny and the letter they had found in the tunnel, so he asked the old man if the young lady had left any message or note. “Oh yes,” he re- plied, “she said when you were a- wake and sensible to call her. If you are ready I will call her now.” On Sam’s agreeing this surprise- ing old man uncovered an instru- ment and proceeded to call with a telegraph key. “My wireless” he commented. “This ought to get her if she is interested, I think she will be here in thirty minutes.” Sure enough in less than that time Jenny danced into the room and clapped her hands at seeing Sam sitting up. “Oh goody” she cried, “we can see what this letter says,” and handing the much crunt- pled envelope to Sam, she sat down in the edge of the only other chair and held her hands between her knees for all the world like an impatient boy waiting for his turn of ice cream Without further ado Sam open- ed the letter and read: “Our constitution guarantees to everyone non interference in their pursuit of happiness, but doesn’t fharantee hhpwiness. Sometimes it comes to us that real happiness is only found in the act of pursuing. It may have taken you a short time to attain this far, it may have taken you years, you may have missed the happiness of striv- ing, you may be tired and want to get away and rest. If this is so open envelope number 1 and you will find directions for your per- sonal comfort and welfare for the balance of your days. “If you do not want to give up the things and people that have come in touch with you on this climb do not open envelope number 1 but give it to the bunch! of spin- ach at the mouth of the tunnel and get words of wisdom from it.” BUT MAKE YOUR DECISION NOW WITHOUT ANY RESER- VATION. Sam silently passed the letter to Jenny and tried to get his thoughts together. Plainly his fa-| ther was offering him a life of’ ease if he wanted it, and some- the world, and I wouldn’t take even a chance like that for all the money in the world. Take that blooming envelope out and give it to the bunch of spinach at the tunnel mouth whatever that is and lets Set away from here. Sam’s arms were around Jenny before he had finished this declar- ation and he held her till he had her promise to be his buddy, part- ner, and wife for good or bad. They didn’t seem to be in any hurry a- bout that, but suddenly realized that possibly this scene might not be so interesting to anybody but themselves. “Now if that is settled | will help you somewhat about the spin. ach” said a dry voice behind them and there stood their host in all the glory of his whiskers, “but of course don’t let me hurry ypu. YOU have all your life before you to fuss over and with each other, but I want a shave. And here you woodenheads have kept me wait- ing five years.” “Whats this?” cried Sam cried in amazement. “Just from your looks I thought a shave would be the last thing you wanted, but if you really do want a shave don’t let us detain you.” “Well you see its this way your father and I were friends for all , our lives. Often we would get to- gether here in the mountains and really go back to old ways of liv- ing. My work at college never made me rich but gave me enough for my needs. Your father liked to get away from his wealth, so we really found enjoyment and relief jn our vacations. This difference we al- ways had. Mr. Smith kept himself shaved and spruced up as if he were living in town, while I left all such behind. Naturally I was wild locking, and your father eall- ed me the bunch of Spinach. When he made his final preprations about disposing of his affairs we were going on a jaunt as usual, and he made me promise to stay here at this tunnel mouth until you came in case you rejected his first offer.” “Now you see I have performed my commission and can shave again and believe me, from now on I stay shaved! Suddenly the little man turned on Sam and shook his finger at him. “Young man, do you know what you have let yourself in for? I wonder if you are big enough to swing it. It is magnifi- cent, it has wonderful possibilities and jit is dangerous. But man, the reward if you have what the old man thinks you have, will be the greatest ever.” “Listen, you have seen this part of the mountains and have fallen in love with it and its people. The poverty is a clean sort, their mis- fortunes, some how are not too ugly, as if God were dealing with His own and at times laying His hand on them in mercy. But there are other parts of these same mountains where nothing is pretty but the mountains themselves the people that are raised there are raised in surroundings that are most sordid and ugly.

To give up the mountains, to give up Jenny, and as he thought of her all doubt vanished and almost before Jenny had finished he asked her for the | envelope.

They are fixing our cottage up and it is going to look good when they get through with it. Our matron came back from her vacation Tuesday and we were very glad to see her. She got two weeks vacation and so did we. We are very glad the war is won so our boys can come back and see your days.

There is also a pavilion for open air games and for protection a- gainst the rain. Another very im- portant feature of the camp is the open air kitchen and tables for camp suppers. Meals are always served from the open air kitchen when the weather permits, This camp site was acquired by lease from some interesting friends and the building were erected by the construction foreman, Mr. J. W. Ervin who is regularly employ- ed at Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. He took some of the older boys and constructed the camp eight years ago. Some money for the project was furnished by the very loyal friends of Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, The cost was surprisingly little compared to the blessing that the camp has been to the Orphanage. Presbyterian Orphans’ H 0 m e never has monopolized the use of this camp. It might be of interest to know of the various groups outside of our number who have used the camp this summer, These include the following: The Pioneer Camp of the Young People of the Concord Presbytery; a group of Methodist young people from Statesville; a group of Methodist young people from Davidson; a group from George W. Lee Mem- orial Church of Winston-Salem. There have been two 4-H Camps during the summer; one from Ire- dell County and one from Wilkes Count. These Camps average about 75 to 80 in number, In ad- dition to these we have had three groups from Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home which have averaged about 90. In other years before trans- portation “made such things difficult these facilities have been used by Mills Home, Children's Home of Winston-Salem and the Junior Order Orphanage of Lex- ington, by the Methodist Prod- istant Orphanage of High Point, by the Alexander Home of Char- lotte and also camps of Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and others. Naturally each group makes its own program and sets up its own schedule. For the children of Presbyterian Orphans’ Home it is the aim of those in charge to make it as complete a_ vacation and outing as possible. While the Young people themselves do the cooking and keep the camp clean, outside of that work they are free to enjoy themselves, Various games are furnished such as soft- ball, football, horse shoes, ping- pong, volley ball, swimming and boating. There are ten boats at- tached to the camp on the river and also a number of swings and ropes and some table games. The saftey and care of the young people of course jis vita] concern so there are always several responsible adults to head the camp. For a number of years Mr. Harry Barkley who is one of the coaches of the Barium teams has been in charge of the athletic and the safety measures for Doat- ing and swimming. Others respon- sible have from time to time assis- ted him in the conduct of camp, He conducts not only the camp for Barium but also assists in the other camps that are held there and for this reason a nominal charge is made to other institu- tions who use the facilities of the camp The water for drinking purposes and for bath purposes is procured from two deep wells that have been dug there, the water of which is regularly tested by the State Labratory.

The was WV esville and i a good game, but before we start telling you about that, let’s talk about the weather. When you read this you may have forgotten, but September 14 was hurricane weather, It started to rain on Thursday and it looked} like pre bottom: had dropped out.! it rained all T Phursd ay night and all Friday morning and part of Friday afternoon. When we held} our pep meeting Friday noon, we coujdn’t think mu about the game for thinking of the weather, but about an hour before game time it stoppel raining. During the game the sun came out and the conditions were delightful for that game, and it was a grand game. The weather stopped a good many people from coming which was a pity but even at that there was a good crowd present. Now about the game. Mooresville kicked off, Barium received and on three trials failed to gain, Barium kicked. The boy doing the the kicking was Roscoe Smith, playing his first game as a back- field man - last year he was cen- ver of our team. Well, he got off a pretty good kick and then Mooresville took over and after making a first down they kicked and then on about the third down Barium kicked and this was some so kick - it carried over the safety man’s head and rolled down to about the twenty-yard line in Mooresville territor The second this Mooresville fumbled, Barium re- vered and from that point Ba- rium marched for their first touch- down with Roscoe Smith carying over for the score - the try for failed. Thi early in the and the game il the third ball deep in territory Mooresville attemp- kick, the kick was blocked, recovered from that marched to the second with Jack Clark car- rying over. Again the try for point failed. Earl Allen was the boy who blocked that kick and Jerry Young recovered. It looked like this was going to be the final score but in the last two minutes of play Barium opened up a passing attack with it ending up in another touchdown with Earl Adams scoring this Aime. The point after was good by a pass Adams to Clark and that was about the prettiest play of the game. Clark and the man de- fending him both caught the ball - they held on,to it so tight that it locked for a time as though thie ball would have to be sawed in two, but after the referee declared thie point good they finally gave up the ball. Mooresville has a good team and by the time you read this they will probably have proved it in other games, Barium was fortunate to win the victory by so large a score. Maybe the excellence of Ba- rium’s play can be explained by the crowd. It wasn’t Home-Coming Day, | it there were so many old timers present the; it must have (G. :tinued On Page Two) point after touchdown score Was made ond quarter just that then with stay- quarter, Moores- ur ille 1 ted to > Barium and point she touchdown sec- on this project. that the showing Milton of the mov- » taken some years to acquaint the peo- ean begin work We are by Mr. Erns ies of the Hon ago did much sur ple of the state with our needs here and to give many of our friends a better idea of the work of the Orphanage, Mr. Milton’s| equipment Ww developed before toe the use of d in movies.

Of course, Mr. Arrowood attended all the sessions. Mr. Lowrance was the commissioner from Little Joe’s Church. Others of us attended dif- ferent sessions of the Synod and were greeted most affectionately by the members of Synod who were entertained at Barium last year. They asked if we had any more steak, lamb chops, or apples, everybody asked about the apples. we had to tell them that the ap- ple trees did such a wonderful job last year that they seemed to be taking a holiday this year and we have a very, very light ¢crop, so light that we will have all of our apples eaten by Thanksgiving. The program of the Orphanage before Synod this year was con- ducted by Mr. J. Archie Cannon, the president of the Board, who made his report. Speaking on the report was our neighbor and good friend, Mr. Zeb Turlington. Mr. Turlington has been a member of the Board of Regents, served a term as president, and Mrs. Tur- lington was also a member for at least eight years.

Mr. Hicks is the Chair- man of Synod’s Committee on the Orphans’ Home. Last year he was pressed into service rather late in the year succeeding Mr. J.

On that day the Presbytery ob- served the sesquicentenial of the organization of the Presbytery on December 24th, 1775. Concord Presbytery was cut off from Or- ange Presbytery which hiad been organized twenty-five years be- fore. The Yadkin river was made the dividing line and all west of that line became Concord Presby- tery. The special anniversary pro- gram was planned by a program committee. Dr. C. M. Richards was chairman and the other mem- bers were Rev. R. S. Carson and Elder J. E. Ramsay. The retiring Moderator, Dr. W. L. Lingle made the opening ad- dress on the subject: Presbyter- ianism and Human Freedom. Dr. J. H. Spence made the His torical address on the _ subject, Four Eras of Concord History. Presbytery rose in appreciation to these five addresses and directed that they be printed. Greetings were brought from the mother Presbytery, Orange, by the Moderator, Rev. N. N. Flem- ing, who is also a son of Concord Presbytery. Dr. C. M. Richards was elected Moderator of the meeting. Dr. Richards has been a member of this Presbytery for forty-five years and this is the third time he has been Moderator. Rev. A. B.

It was a long walk he had to make; it would take him several days. So when they came to a little village they stopped at some friends house to take dinner and rest in the heat of the day. And I think the people of the village began to tell around “Jesus is here; he says he will be delivered to the chief priests, and that he will be crucified; and on the third day he will rise again. And one mother said, “I would like my little Isaac to be good like he is; I am going to ask him to put his hands on him and pray for him.” And another mother said, “I am going to ask him to bless my little Mary.” And so they started to the house where Jesus was. And as they went others asked, “Where are you going here in the heat of the day?” And they said, “To take the children to be blessed by that Holy man Jesus”, and the others said, “Wait, we'll call the children and go with you.” And so they came to this house where Jesus was. Now the scene shifts to the house and we see Jesus surrounded by his disciples; and they are asking him to explain some things he had said that day, when suddenly there was a com- motion at the door; and the man of the house said: “Here are some women and children who wish to see the master.” Peter and Andrew and some more of them said to the women: “Don’t trouble the master; he has walked a long way today, and is very tired, we haven’t long to rest and must be on our way. Besides he was dis- cussing with us some very vital matters which should not be in- terrupted.” But Jesus spoke sharply to them as he said, “suffer the lit- tle children to come unto Me.” Now when we say “suffer” we think of pain. But that is not what this means. We would say per- mit or allow or let. Doesn’t it mean more to you if I give it the words as they are in Moffatt’s New Testament. “Let the children come to me, do not stop them, the realm of God belongs to such as these.” We look at Peter now; he has stepped back and hangs his head and the rest look asham- ed or angry, rebuked by the words of Jesus. We look at the children as they go up to Jesus and rest against his knees or stroke his soft beard with their hands. We look at the women, we see them kneeling before him looking up into his face with joy and adora- tion, and follow their gaze to the Master and see him reach out his sinewy hands so tenderly. And hie lifted little Isaac up upon his breast and then little Mary and he put his hands upon their heads and lifted his eyes to the heavenly Father he prayed for a blessing upon them. Then he let them down and took up others untill every one had been prayed for and blest. With the children around Him, Jesus gave this solemn teaching to his disciples, “Verely,” that is truly, “I say unto you ; have outdone itself whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child {he shall not enter there in. Peter you have got to have a childlike attitude; John, you have to be like a child.” Now that doesn’t mean perfection - children are often selfish and _ inconsiderate and cruel, But you know children do not have low and evil thoughts; they are dependent and realize it; they are trustfu] and they are straightforward, no put on; they are full of humility, and sim- plicity; and they are _ capable of growth and development. They are not dead either physically, mentally, or spiritually. In these days we take the chil- dren to George Washington or Lincoln or Socrates or David or Solomon or Isaiah or Paul or Peter. But forget not to take them to Jesus Christ. George Wash- ington was the father of his country but Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father’. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in the south; but Jesus is the Savior of the world. Yes wonderful was the reverence of David, but Jesus re- veals God, Great was the wisdom of Solomon, but a greater than Selomon is here, made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; deeper is his calm than that of Socrates: more eloquent than Isaiah; more zealous than Peter; more fervent than Paul. I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold should like to have been with them then. I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That his arm had been thrown around me And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, “Let the little ones come unto me.” I Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share of his love And if I thus earnestly seek Him below I shall see Him and hear above. Him Cho.— But thousands and thou- sands who wander and fall Never heard of that heavenly home I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. ‘The Synod Was (Continued From Page One) the Orphanage and is about as well equipped as anyone could be to speak in its behalf. The Synod was well attended and Davidson College seems to in serving the and other things to make Synod’s stay there comfort- food able, Cottage News ANNIE LOUISE Hello Folks, 4 First of all we would like to | thank our good friends of Moores- ville for the pretty pictures which they gave to us, Our house really looks good now so we want you to come up and see us. We have been getting our cloth- ing boxes and we would also like to thank our friends for them. We all look like new dolls now and we look forward to the days when we can get dressed up and parade in front of every one else. We got our report cards last week and only four of our girls made the honor ro!l but we plan to have at least twenty next time. Louise Bradshaw recited the child’s Catechism today. She will receive a gift from Mr. Belk and also a New Testament. with her name on it. Friday is Home-Coming and we expect quite a number of our folks back. Most of the boys who are out of the service hope to be with us. We just can’t wait until Friday. We should win over Lexington with all of our boys back to help us cheer our team to victory. The trees are turning and they look like someone has sent them clothing boxes, or that a painter has spattered paint on them. We' believe though they are mostly getting pretty for President Truman. As you know he is to speak in Statesville November, 2nd, and we are going to go down to the road and get a good look ed | our favorite friend. We'll be seeing you, — The Annie Louise Girls SEWING ROOM Hello Folks, There are eight of us in the S. S. S. Sclubf-Gnly two of which did not make tie honor roll. Only one subject kept them off. We sure are proud of them. Miss Mona hugged all our necks. We have mede all of us some new winter pajamas. They are not only warm, but very pretty. We ought to have a pajama party now. Did you say, “Out with the Gos- sip?” Well, here goes. Adelia Knight certainly doesn’t look like she’s going to be an old maid. Who’s that guy that fills that frame on her dresser? Maggie Katen, who’s “sleepy” now? Seems like a Freshman from State is waking up and writing pretty often now. “Red” Price seems to be spend- ing more time with the smaller children than she does with us. Say, Red, have you “Ben” getting into practice for later life? Lee “Jackie” Vinson is our new member who took Lucile Smith’s place when Lee went back to her old job as nursing. Lee’s learning fast. Wonder why? Do you think it’s because a guy she knows has just come “wading” back from overseas and she wants to impress him. “Bush” Feimster said tell every- one hello and not to worry about her. She’s doing okay, eh, Charlie! “Cherry” Pope is still hanging around, doing what bit she knows how. She thinks the “West” is okay, but it’s pretty cold. now. Say, Cherry we know what we’re talking about, don’t we? Helen. Hawley seems pretty hap- py these days. All you have to do is to “Leavy” her alone. It isn’t the furniture business she’s in- terested in now. “Wonder when he’s coming home?” Say, Mary Frances, how goes that good-looking sailor you go g00-goo over? Folks, we wish to take time out to welcome back all the old-timers on Home-Coming Day. It’s swell to see you. Hope we win our game with Lexington. Drop in and see us any old day between the hours of three and five. We'll certainly welcome you. We love visitors. INFIRMARY Dear Friends, Our epidemic of whooping cough is over except for one baby, three years old who just keeps whooping. Our only other patient, Betty Ann Andrews, is still going to school but still lives with us at the Infirmary. We will be getting our first re- port cards near the end of this week. We hope there will be good grades for all and maybe a few on the honor roll from our small group. We now have two of our older girls back at the Infirmary, Lucile Smith and Jean McDonald. We knew we couldn’t get along without them. The cold weather seems to have caught up with us and we are having plenty of it. It would be nice if we had a small radio to help pass away those long winter evenings, after we have finished our studying, of course. Annie Marie Andrews, one of our girls had a visit from her father recently. ' —tThe Infirmary Girls. LEE’S COTTAGE Now is the time for football games and we always enjoy them. We played Concord last Friday and they beat us. We are looking forward to Hal- lowe’en, we will have fun with our false faces. We have been picking up pota- toes and putting them up for the winter. Dean Upton and Frankie Smith went to the birthday dinner this month. We got our report cards last week and Tommy Scott made the honor iroll. ‘The leaves are turning red, yel- low and brown and they are pret- ty. Home-Coming is the 19th and we hope to see a lot of the old boys and girls. Lee’s Cottage Boys. Alumni News (Continued From Page One) the South and Central Pacific.

Thanksgiving [Continued From Page One] offering the magnificent sum of $70,622.69. In this year of victory when we all have so much to be thankful for surely our “sacrifices of Thanksgiving will not be less but more—” f e 8 OCTOBER 1945 The Music Club ® The Second Graders THE BARIUM MESSENGER Barium Has Played (Continued From Page One) The following week at Albemarle Barium was defeated 13-6. Ba- rium had several chances to score but did not have a touchdown play to cash in on. The field was wet, but that didn’t seem to bother thie forward passing of either team - it just seemed to be Albemarle’s year to win. On October 5th our team jour- neyed to Asheville and it rained all that day and most of the night. The field was wet and muddy and Barium did not attempt a single pass. There were times during the game when Barium seemed to have the stronger ground attack but neither team got near enough to really threaten and the final score was 0-0. Late in the last quarter Asheville did some passing that almost paid off - maybe if both teams had started passing sooner | there might have been scoring done. Here’s an interesting thing; there were only three fumbles in that whole game and only one of these was recovered by the op- ponent. One time Asheville lost some the ball through the fumble. The | following week at Barium, Barium rium lost to Concord on a perfect- ly clear, dry afternoon, and it) was a fumble which set up Con- cord’s first touchdown, so you just never can tell, fumbles do not al- ways come with wet weather. A little more about the Concord game. Barium and Concord have been playing football for a long time; in fact, Concord helped us dedicate Sloan Field and then four years later Concord did the first scoring against a Barium team on Sloan Field. In spite of all this long history their victory over Ba- rium this year was the first vic- tory they had ever had on Sloan|ed Barium. Their 85-pounders de- Field, but it was a decisive victory at that - 18-0. Concord is one of the most improved teams in the South Piedmont Conference. They started out rather slow this year but have gotten better with each game and they looked like that | many | State Champion team of years back when they through the season undefeated. This brings us right up to Home- went Coming Day - the game will be} with Lexington. Lexington is al- ways a tough team. There have been 17 games played with Lex- ington - 8 of them have been won by Lexington and 8 by Barium and |} |if they would not get across at one game was a tie. While the Varsity was having these games there were other games on the schedule too. The Conover Grammar Grades came over and played Barium’s eighth grade. Barium won 34-7. The members of the team belong to the | eighth grade and down and they weigh almost as much as the var- sity. If we can just be patient for a couple of years until these boys commence to get on the varsity maybe they will stop pushing our varsity around. Boys like Max Dellinger, Mason Traywick, Her- man Smith, Pinky Hilliard, all of those will be entertaining us one of these days. Then the B team played Landis and defeated them 26-0, 26 points were made in the 2nd quarter. The boys playing for Ba- rium were all but the first string varsity, and there was some right nifty playing. Dwight Spencer did some yery neat pass. receiving which resulted in at least two of the touchdowns. and all} feated Barium 7-0, and our 100- pounders defeated theirs 7-0. The score made by the 85-pounders was on an intercepted pass and the Children’s Home boy who caught that pass kept running faster and faster until he crossed the goal line. Barium almost had |a chance to tie the score but the boy who had the ball just couldn’t get up the necessary speed and was tackled before he got across. Barium’s 100-pound team looked much superior to that of the Chil- dren’s Home, but they couldn’t seem to get across that goal line but once. For a time it looked as all. There is much promise in that team and they will be feeding some good players to the varsity before long. There will be many games to re- port in the next issue of the Mes- senger. C.

The task of putting on the Thanksgiving appeal and receiv- ing the Offering is a very large one, There are five hundred and fifty-nine Churches in the Synod. There are over four hundred Aux- iliaries. There are five hundred and eight-one Sunday Schools. These organizations are composed of 98,073 members of the Presby- terian Church and their children. It is the purpose of Synods Com- mittee to contact and to present an opportunity to give to each one of those ninety-eight thou- sand and seventy-three Presby- terians. In the pre-war years the Com- mittee met at the Home and took time to work out the plans togeth- er in detail. Travel conditions have been such that such a meet- ing has been left off for several years. However, Mr. Hicks has spent much of his time in going about contacting the Committee- men and discussing plans with them. Naturally under conditions un- der which we work there have been many disappointments and delays in getting out the Thanks- giving supplies. We had _ hoped they would be in your hands before this. But we are making progress. Requisitions for supplies are com- ing in. We hope that very soon after you read this, full supplies for each Churchj will be in’ your hands. Mr. Hicks and the members of Synod’s Committee are not work- ing for the praise of men. They are anxious to serve the children of our Home and Him who said, “Suffer the little children and fer- bid them not to come unto me.” But I am sure we will want to show our appreciation of the spiendid and unselfish work they are doing by cooperating fully with them in their efforts. We are grateful here at Pres- byterian Orphans’ Home for the wide distribution of our support- ing organizations, We are thank- ful for the large gifts of the large churches and for the small gifts of the small churches. We are sensible that often a gift that may look small if reck- oned in dollars, is a large gift when the sacrifice is taken into account. The Master said of the poor widow who dropped in the pennies, “She gave more than they all.” For such sacrifices of Thanks- giving we render thanks. It is with this idea in mind that we are asking that a local chair- man be appointed in each Church to receive the supplies and pre- sent the work of the Home to the local Church. No Church is too small to have a part. No individual but that can make an offering. The Presbytery’s Committee- men are busy perfecting their or- ganizations and getting informa- tion out to the churches. We be- speak for them your help and ap- proval.

Mary Belle Reid and Roscoe (Continued On Page Two) Summary of Recent Football Games We have reported on our foot- ball games in former issues of the Messenger right up to Homecom- ing Day, and you would just have to have an eye-witness account of that game with gestures to get the full picture, Lexington and Barium games have always been interesting. This year was no ex- ception. It started out with Lex- ington looking like much the su- perior team. They drove Barium down and finally scored, mainiy by main strength; a Barium fum- ble had something to do with it, but the team was certainly one touchdown better than Parium all during the first half. The second half was something else. Jack Clark, playing his first game at tailback, really went to town in that half and his passing and run- ning was not to be denied. It only yielded one touchdown but it might just as well have yielded three because we missed those other two by such a smal] margin that the Lexington people are _ still shivering about it. The final score was Barium 6 - Lexington 6. The following week our Var- sity journeyed to Davidson, and the Davidson Freshmen bumped us off 18-0. This is the third year we have played Davidson, and their first victory. This victory was a convincing one, although all the scoring was done in the first half. In the second half the two teams Played on even terms with Clark again being the boy Davidson had to stop. On Nov. ist, the Children’s Home came to Barium and this was just one of those years we don’t like to think about too much. Children’s Home was so much stronger than Barium that it was not much of a contest. They beat Barium 48-12 and they used their second-string boys in a good part of the game. Barium’s scores were from passes Clark to Young - the two touchdowns being very much alike, The lightweight teams have had a full schedule. On October 17th our eighth grade team played a second game with Conover, defeat- ing them 21-0. This was a very (Continued On Page Three The Barium Messenger Speak- ing ---- Take a look at me.

I have tried to live up THE BARIUM MESSENGER As soon as we found that our printing shop was assured and that the orphanage was again to have a paper, the question of a name had to be decided. In order to get the very best name for the infant sheet, a prize was offered to the person suggest- ing the most acceptable title. Of the great number suggest- ed, the name BARIUM MES. SENGER, was _ selected and Mary Lee Earnheart was the fortunate winner of the prize for suggesting this name. Now, just a word about this name and what we hope this paper to be. First of all, we want this Mes- senger to be welcome, It will contain just commonplace news that may not always be interest_ ing to people who do not know us. Then if you see a news item that Billy Harrell bumped his nose and scraped off six freckles, you will know that this is only a minor injury if the freckle count was correct. The Messen- ger will contain some editorials, and while we will not at- tempt to settle the affairs of the League of Nations, the Pan-American Alliances, or even the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S., nor answer all the criticisms of the tariff and the income tax. Still we may at times raise our voice in praise or condemnation of some of the present day prac- tices that effect our immediate family. The Messenger will contain a list of receipts both! in money and in kind, and if in any issue the space reserved for this de- partment is not filled up the space unused will be used in talking about it The departme-ts will all be heard from, not just for the pur- pose of making appeals but that our friends everywhere will know what is being done. Every cottage will have a news editor and the news of that cot- tage written out by that boy or girl. as the case may be, and published “as is”. Then, too we want a real live alumni news column. Any person who has at any time been in the Home may have items about themselves in this column and we hope many will send news in themselves. Then lest our reading rectter become too heavy especially in the days we seem to be forgot- ten, we will have a joke column. that will publish both new and secondhand wheezes. Finally, we hope our Messen- ger will always be a cheerful one. We hone to only have good news to tell you.

His mother lives in Washington and we do not have her address. We hope to contact her and to report that this rumor is incorrect. The service letter which we mail to all of the boys in the service are returned to us when the ad- dress is wrong or when the men change posts without notifying us. The letters going to Gastone Alessandrini have been returned marked “Missing”. We have been unable to get any further news. Gastone was a member of a bomb- ing crew operating in the Pacific. Being reported ‘missing’ in that area does not always mean ‘dead’. Many members of the crews have been rescued and lived for quite a time on an island before being discovered; we are hoping this is what happened with Gastone. All of these reports have come since V-J Day - and it has made our list of casualties just as great for these few months as it was during the hardest fighting of the war. This makes a total of fifteen boys dead or missing. | Feast Days At Barium | fsa ] You know the business of eat- ing gets to be a pretty common place affair. You can fill a young- ster up and in just a few hours Three years ago when we were listening to the news broadcast of the gradual destruction of our Army in the Philippines we were much concerned over the fate of three Barium boys; J. D. Beshears, Robert Wilkes, and Ben Morrow. These three boys were captured either on Bataan or Correigdor and it was not until the end of the war that we heard the details of what happened to them. Ben Morrow died in a prison camp in May, 1942. J. D. Beshears and Robert Wilkes were released at the end of the war, but Robert died in California on the way home. He had evidently been ter- rbly abused and was too weakened by his experiences to survive. J. D. Beshears, apparently in good shape, has landed in the United States and we hope will soon be around Barium to pay us a visit. We do not know of any of the particulars of the experiences of these three young men, but we hope to give it to you in a later issue. Fall Meeting of the Board of Regents The Board of Regents of the Orphanage met on Tuesday, Nov. 6th,” the latest Fall meeting in twenty years. Usually this meet- ing occurs during the last of Sept. cr early in Oct., but since the Snyod met so late this year this had something to do with the post- ponement of the Regents meeting. There were ten members pres- ent, including two brand new mem- bers, Mrs. R. A. Young of Central Steele Creek, Charlotte, and Mr. Thomson of Kings Mountain. There was one other new member who did not get here. Mr. R. W. Bruin {from Henderson, North Carolina. One of the main pieces of busi- ness of the Board was to pass on some insurance matters which means a re-vamping of the values on all of our insured property. to us since the end of the war é The meeting was saddened by |} the news of the death of Mr. Sam 1A. Robinson of Gastonia. Mrs. ‘Robinson was a member of the Board of Regents for a number of years; in fact every member if the Board knew Mr. Robinson intimately, and to know him at all was to count him as a friend. We were all saddened by his sud- (Continued On Page Three? he is empty and ravenous again -|! the old stand-bys of grits and gravy, beans and _ corn bread, cereal and milk, are all for found- ations, but they have to be topped off occasionally with something else. The alfalfa fields have done so well the last few years that they have provided the wherewith- al for an occasional ice cream treat, which is a treat indeed in these days of scarce sugar. And then there is the meat question - pork is awfully good but after awhile we get tired of pork; beef is mighty good but it is possible to even get tired of that; so we really rejoice when something happens to give us a brand new meat meal. We had had scverai Sunday dinners of lamb and chick- en and were just about to settle | down to our winter diet of sausage | and such, when along came a gift | of venison - believe it or not!

President Edward Flowers called the meeting to order and those present introduced them- selves stating the year of gradu- ation or departure. Years repre- sented ranged from 1899 to 1945. The ’30 - ’39’s, and of course, the ‘40's had quite a jolly reunion, but we of the ’20’s and before were entirely too few. New officers were elected as follows: president, Irene McDade; vice-president, Maude Inman; sec- retary-treasurer, Walter Beattie; treasurer of Memorial Fund, Reid Brown. After some discussion as to the form our Memorial should take, and the amount needed to finance it and the manner of obtaining that amount, it was voted that a letter be sent out soon containing suggestions from Mr. Johnston, and asking that each member make a contribution within the next twelve months. It is hoped that we shall have a considerable sum in hand and be ready to de- cide the matter by vote at our next arinual meeting. It was voted also that alumni dues be raised to $1.00 per year and that all who have not paid this year be urged to do so. This money is needed for the expense of mailing correspondence to the members. The annual Thanksgiving of- fering taken at the meeting a- mounted to $103.10. We noted the following at the game and during the day: Bernice Stone Thompson, Joy Stone Som- mers, Nellie Johnson Summers, John Ammons, Wilma Campbell, Wilma Jessup, Rachel Kyles, Hat- tie Michae] Painter, Annie Bell William Dawson, Tom Clark, Doris Gant, Capt. John Lee, Major A. J.

Sara Fort, Willard Dry, Eva Sluder, Kathleen Moore Radcliff, Margaret Moore Williams, Sadie and Ed Flowers, Maude Inman, Sam Benardo, Cheek Freeman, brought to Charlotte for service and then buried in Spring Hill Cemetry in Scotland County. Our hearts were made glad when J. D. Beshears made us a visit this week. J. D. was a POW for 40 months, making the death, march from Bataan. He had four battle stars and the Presidental citation with 2 oak leaf clusters. He landed at Seattle and Howard trret him there. He will have a 90 day furlough and then report at Moore General Hospital for ex- amination. He said that there were 1600 prisoners in his Camp. He was freed by the Russians in Manchuria. He worked in a tex- ; tile plant weaving canvas. His menu was mush for _ breakfast and maize and beans for dinner and supper. He received 8 or 10 Red Cross packages. We all thought that he looked fine. Arnim East is in Kannapolis with Guy, after having been over- | seas for some time. Paul Cornette is working in Statesville.

I received a letter from Joe Long who is now a Cadet at West Point. And the boy said he had three tickets to the Army — Navy game that he was going to send to me, and right then and there I began to have notions. Just forty-five years ago and j just two days after I played my last college football game, I| | went to Philadephia to see the a and Navy play. It was tops | in football intertainment then and I knew it would be tops in enter- tainment now, so as soon as this | letter came from Joe Long I made plans. Of course, I excepted to take , Mrs. Johnston and to go in a very dignified mannar on the train, and we were to pick up Leila in Wash- ington for the third member of the party, but as the time drew }near we found that there wasn’t any such thing as getting a reser- vation on any train from any di- rection going toward Philadelphia around that time, so it settled down to making the trip by ear. On Friday morning at 9:30 we | two Johnstons set sail. We had to miss the final Barium football ;game and that was a disappoint- ment indeed, but we found that the team and the coaches forrave us for that, seeing that it took { that to get +o this other game. | Everybody around Barium seemed | to be intent on getting us off and making the trip a pleasant one. Some of the ladies gave me a couple of ties to flash on the un- suspecting Philadelphia public. | We armed ourselves with every- | thing from overshoes to hot water | bottles so that no matter what | Weather came we would be ready for it. | We landed in Washington Fri- day night and found that that very efficient daughter of ours had lo- | cated a hotel room for us in the crowded city and also located what Was even more scarce, a good meal. | On Saturday morning at 7:30, we left Washington for Philadel- | phia, feeling that three hours leis- urely drive would put us at our destination. What a thought! It is 140 miles from Washington to Philadelphia and they are the most crowded miles in the United States or they were that Saturday morn- ing. When we drove into Balti- more we stopped to get some gas. I asked the man at the filling station if the traffic was any heavier that morning. His reply was, “Man I never saw anything like it in my life. I wouldn’t be caught in that for a hundred dol- lars an hour.” That was not too encouraging, but we lit out in that traffic. It took us a solid hour to ‘gifts of gold, frankincense, and get through the twelve miles of | Baltimore, and even in the open | country the traffic was almost bumper to bumper. The only | thing that seemed to keep going} was our watches, and time was 'running out on us. How we wished | we had Joshua for a few moments to have the sun to stand still for| an hour at least, but of course we | didn’t. When we landed in Phila- | delphia we found that extra good precautions had been made for the crowd. Certain streets had | been left as one-way streets and we picked up a little time getting | to the stadium. There was ample} parking space and in a very short | time we found ourselves in the sta- | (Continued On Page Two BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., DECEMBER 1945 No. 2 The Message of the Pulpit | The Last of the Mohicans Meaning Voluntary 12th Graders By REV. R. S. ARROWOOD A Birthday Party for Jesus Christ Very Seon Very soon the world will be giving a birthday party. Now all of you like to have birthday parties and you like to go| to birthlay parties. What do you | have at your birthday parties? Well you have a birthday cake! with candles on it, one for each year old you are. Then you have games and favors for your guests. You receive presents from parents and friends. And then we like to invite a lot of our best friends. Why is that? Why don’t we just have a nice meal and birthday cake and have a good time all by our- selves, I'll tell you, happiness is something that the more we share it the more we have. A birthday is a lot more fun if we have our friends sharing it with Years ago I was alone in a great city. I had just gotten out of the hospital so [I thought I’d celebrate. So I went to a famous dining place and ordered a fine dinner. But it was no fun, I would have had more pleasure if I had picked up a bum on Water Street and given him a bow! of soup and a cup of coffee. So we like to have a big party the big.»r the better. Now the birthlay of Jesus we call Christmas. Can we imagine what a big party the birthday party for Jesus Christ is. If we invited all the people in a city to a party that would be a great party. But think if we had all the people in Charlotte and Greens- boro and New York what a great big party that would be. But the; birthday party goes all round this | big world. Millions of people re- joice in the birthday of Jesus our Lord. One of the joys of birthday is the giving and receiving of gifts. The gifts to Jesus on his first birthday were given by the wise men. They were rich and lovely myrrh. But now Jesus no longer walks among us as a man. How can we give to Jesus now? Well though Jesus does not walk on earth as a man, his spirit is here and he loves us so much that if we would give to him we must help DUIE BELLE BUIE AMOS HARDY For a number of years Barium | uated at the end of the eleventh has allowed students who were | grade.

The goal posts were just the same size, and placed at the same places. There were boys out there 99 anybody in that crowd of 102,- even-Steven, with the final score being Army Navy 13. The seore after the first quarter being Navy 18, Army 12, and that was the ball game. You might think that when this game was over that that was all there was to it, but wait a min- ute. Over the public address sys- tem the crowd was requested to wait a few minutes before leaving the stadium. There was some ceremony tak- ing place in the middle of the field which nobody seemed to pay much attention to, and then the National Anthem and everybody snapped to attention. The Army band played and since we were on the Army side, we could barely hear it - just a few high notes, more like an echo, so to us it appeared that 100,000 people were standing in absolute silence with the thousands in uni- form at salute and all the other with their heads bared and a oo omy men look on their faces that gripped you. In spite of ourselves there was a lump in our throats and we got a thrill that was greater even than the thrills that brought us to our feet during that magnifi- cent ball game. I do not think there was a person in that hundred thousand who did not feel the im- pact of tha* inoment. Then the crowd melted. It did not leave, it just shuffled around. The blue block on the Navy side and the Gray block on the Army side where the Cadets were seated simply disappeared into the crowd. Each boy had somebody in that crowd he wanted to see, and in few moments the mixture was complete and then the crowd com- menced to leave. There not much more to tell. Getting out of Philadelphia was quite a job and fighting traffic all the way home was quite a job é is 600 would have lifted their hands | to hurt the President or any of | those of our nation who have au-}| thority.

We were sitting just above the end zone on the Army side in the closed end of the stadium and five | everybody who knew football, rec- portant. It was a grand game and} it illustrated something. Maybe it| explains why we won a victory | ever two powerful combinations | of nations. Everybody recognized, that is | ognized that Navy didn’t have a chance in this ball game. Army with one of the greatest teams of any college at any time was just | too much, and in the first quarter they piled up a score of 20 points, , think of it - a regular Pearl Har-| Mrs. Johnston and I sat on the front seat. Leila and a young Navy Lieutenant sat on the back seat. They amused themselves counting the red lights that I ran through on the way home. I believe they got up to 20, which sounds bad but when you think of the number that I hit right the percentage wasn’t so bad after all. We picked up a few dirty looks from other car drivers and an angry whistle or two from traffic cops, but all in all, our memory of the trip is one of pleasant people, kind people, tolerant people. If there ever was a sample of the cross-section of this United States it was in that stadium at Philadelphia last Satur- day, and it is good to be a part of | it. We could forget the wrangles that seem to be in the air about /our foreign policy, the continued turmoil of strikes over our nation and for a time revel in the glory of America. To see the thousands They have been turning them a- way, what does he do? Of course, they have tried to build a bigger church, but while they are waiting this man preaches the same sermon twice. We went to the nine o’elock service the church was full, and that preacher certianly did not hold back. He put his whole soul into the message to that congregation. As we lefi: the church at 10 o’clock, other wor- shippers were lining up for the 11 o'clock service, at which time he would preach the same sermon a- gain to another overflow crowd. Somehow that made us feel good. We see so much! and hear so much about people trying to get more and do less, and here was this man ef God willing to do double duty so i saw that other game between Army and Navy. I am not going to wait another 45. because this trip beats vitamins, daily dozens, or any of Bernarr McFadyen’s recipes for bringing back a man’s youth.

Martin of Troutman, and his sisters Mrs. William Moore and Mrs. W. A. Clodfelder. Mr. Martin was a very active and loyal member of the Trout- mans Baptist Church. A _ lange gathering of friends at his funeral attested the esteem with which he was regarded. Mr. Martin was a valued mem- ber of the force here at Presby- terian Orphans’ Home. For over four years he hias been the shoe repair man and assisted in the vrinting department. His were the ‘hands that wrapped the Thenks- civing supplies this year and sent them out to the churches.

The Message of the (Continued From Vaze OU, 2) presents we most want. Now Christnias is Jesus’ birthday par y. Don’t you think Jesus is one we should try to make happy.? I am sure Jesus wants us all to be happy on his birthday. Such is the greatness of the heart of vesus that eveny. blessing he hes he shares with those he loves. And he knows that the greatest joy we have is in giving not getting. Did you know Jesus left directions how to give a successful party in Luke 14:12,13. He says don’t in- vite those that will invite you or give presents just to get them back, but invite the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind: And thou shalt be blessed. Jesus himself was the world’s first and greatest Christmas gift. He gave himself to the world to bless and save us. He did not do that in order that he might receive anything from us. So if we have the true spirit of Christmas which is the spirit oi Christ we will be thinking less of what we may get and more of what we may give. And surely we would not want to do anything on our Lord’s birth- day that would hurt the heart of Jesus. We would not be greedy or selfish. We would not be mean or ill tempered or fail to be con- siderate of others. Many people work hard many extra hours to serve us at Christmas. I think especially of sales people and men and women in the P. O. Dept. The ones who get up Christmas pro- grams and decorate for the holi- days. I think we ought to show our appreciation by being just as considerate cf them we can and helping them in every way | possible. | I think we ought to be a little more thoughtful, a little more lov- ing, little kinder now than at any other time of year, that is _ the Christmas spirit, that is the way Jesus would want us to be on _ his birthday. I have heard s | | as a of a little boy who had just had a very happy birthday, and that night as he knelt by his bed and prayed he thanked the Heavenly Father for ‘the blessings of the day and he | closed his praver this way; And, | Dear Lord Jesus, I hope you have a happy birthday too”. Christmas is our Lord’s birthday lets make it a happy one for Him. of the seven touchdowns made in bor as far as the Navy was con- that game were made right out; cerned.

There is no more for me to des- ness. One of the Philadelphia news- war to see these magnificent young men in their enthusiam and loyalty to their institutions and to their country is a heartening thing. Someone has said that the Army- Navy game ought to be played in different parts of the country each year. Brother, I have got a better idea than that, let therm take the road and play this game at a diff- erent place every week. Our nation could stand a lot more of it.
