We debated during the fall as to just what cause or people we would give to. It was tinally decided tu make a Christ- mas present to the children of Carols just for fun. There was a Christmas tree right in the middle of the dining room with no decorations or gifts on it at all. At a table right near this Christmas tree there were two girls. They had a quantity of cardboard decorations with strings in them. These decorations had been made by our own print shop; there was also a bowl to hold money. Any person who came up to make a contribution got a deco- ration - then this person would go and hang it on the tree. Now, in the dining room there were some- thing over 400 people. To keep it from being too confusing, several of the cottages of the smaller children had received their deco- rations beforehand so they could come up in groups, and if they needed any help iy tieing on their decorations there was a flock of boys there to kelp. It happened that during Christmas time a num- ber of our service boys came in. | There was one from the Air Corps {there was one from a Submarine, t| there was one from a destroyer, land there was one from Boot | Came, and they toek great delight jin helping the little ones arrange their decorations tastefully. There was a lot of confusion — just enough to make the whole occasion a happy one. Nobody tried to be quiet and yet the noise was not the kind that would get on anyone’s nerves. We _ sang Christmas Carols right along dur- ing all of the confusion and in a very short time - all too short, in fact - in less than an hour every person in that big dining room had placed a decoration on the tree and in the bowl there was a ings about telling the general puvlic abvut it they might get the wollon thal any set of cnildren who could dig up over one hundred dollars to give away before Christ- way of gifts themselves.

Every one in that Baby Cottage made a contribution. It wasn’t much in the lump - but to see those little tykes march up and take their decorations would make you think that they were responsible for the success of the whole business, and maybe they were not so far wrong’! at that. The weatherman was a little. rough on us Christmas. We did! not have any lights - we didn’t | have much of a way to cook and very little heat, and before they, got the lines repaired we had very little water, but it might have been a lot worse.

That morning the money continued te come in - the colored folks on the place had! heard about it and they sent in $3.50 and all of this went on to the same place. On Sunday morning we received a letter from the superintendent of this Orphanage at Oxford which was a beautiful letter. We doubt if we have ever received a more appreciative letter from anybody about anything. The gift was a complete surprise to them, but we are sure that the pleasure which they got from the use of that gift could not exceed the pleasure that the Barium family got out of making it.

C., FE "BRUARY 1946 No. 4+ Barium’s Chief Worrier This is a picture of Mr. principal of the grammar grades he is the coach of both boys and girls in basketball. There are times during the year when he looks terribly imposed upon, and then you occasionally catch the expression which is on his face in this picture. This is the way he looked in the last moment of the Barium-Kannapolis game. Here’s how come: the Barium teams had been going through a hectic two weeks. They had been having trouble with teams that were ’way below them in the standings - the girls had barely won from Lex- ington. They had lost to the Chil- dren’s Home by a scant three-point margin. They had tied Statesville after being in the lead with less than 15 seconds to go. His boys come from behind in one game to win by one point, in another game by two points, and then finally to; « lose to Statesville by two points! MR. HARRY E.

There have been some hair-raising one-point victories, and just the same sort of defeats. In the warm-ups before the con- ference season started we lost a couple of games to Union Grove. Union Grove was the Mid-Pied- mont champion of 1946 in the girls’ division, and most of their team is back this year. It was Barium’s first game and we lost both of them. Then our B teams went to Troutman just for a warm-up for their varsity teams that are beginning to function again. Ba- rium won both of those games. Against China Grove our girls won, our boys lost. Then with Scotts that one-point business started. Our girls won 30-29; our boys more than doubled the score. Then the conference games started. Our first game was with Concord. The Concord girls were co-champions for 1945; our girls defeated them 35-26, and our boys took them over for 33-21. Then! Lexington visited us. We did not ‘annapolis on their court, Kannapolis being "way out in front, the omly undefeated and un-scared team of the confer-' ence, most of us really just ex- nected to hold the score down to nething respeciaea’. Well, our boys took the lead at the begin- ning of the game and never re- linquished it - it ran from two points to six points, and the game ended with four points. The above expression on Mr. Barkley’s face was caught just as Earl Adams scored an amazing shot in the last thirty seconds to really sew up the game. It appears’ that friend Barkley is beginning to re- alize that the world is a fairly de- cent place to live in after all - this dawning realization can be observed in his expression - may- be mixed with it is the thought that Barium still has a chance to ‘ome out on top in the conference, although a mighty slim chance. with his!

R. S. ARROWOOD THE GLORY OF COMMONPLACE THE II Cor. 4:7—We have this treas- ure in earthen vessels. Dr. J. R. Miller tells us that a number of years ago some Am- ericans were in Cairo for a journey across the desert. They went out to buy some vessels to carry their supply of water for the journey. And they bought in accordance with their pleasure. Some bought brass vessels beautifully engraved, others bought porcelain delicately ornamented, others bought plain earthen ware vessels. The brass vessels heated and the water be- came tainted, the porcelain crack- ed and the water was lost; so the old earthen ware vessel was found to be the most useful as it pre- served the water and kept it cool. Therefore, in its usefulness, the earthen vessel shone more bright- ly than brass and was more beauti- ful than porcelain for the treas- ure was safe in the earthen ves- sel.

It may that on the night that Christ was born, Caesar Augustus had a great reception in Rome. There, as they reclined about sumptuous repasts with vessels of gold and silver and the rich viands from erated be all over the world, suppose some- one had the gift of prophecy to say, “Tonieht your imperial high- ness, there is born in a stable in the province of Judea of peasant blood, One Who shall establish the greatest kingdom ever known, Who will be known and loved when } you are forgotten and even the time of your illustrious reign will be dated from his birth.” How that would have amused Caesar. stable at Bethlehem to- day is the object of teeming mil- to who Augus- tus Caesar is unknown and his palace forgotten. The same might be said of the little town of Nazareth which was a by-word in those days, “Can any good thing come out of Naza- reth?” But now we sing in our hymns of Nazareth and Bethlehem glorified by the presence of Christ. I suppose if Jesus had seen fit, He could have selected as His birth-place the finest palace in suppose He could est uni- aeaiics and schools in the world, but He chose for His college, a carpenter’s shop. And I think He did that because He knew that some day He would stand and say, “Come unto me all ye that labor,” and He did not want anyone to say, “What does He know about me, or the way I have to live, or the work I have to do.” Jesus took homes and scenes more humble more crude, more austere, and Jerusalem.

The church is made up of all sorts of folks and I know of no church that does it’s heartiest to everybody of whatever station. But there are those who rightly or wrongly feel that the Church feels above them. They can never lay that charge against Christ or a true follower of His. Herod was doubtless riding in a pleasure boat of silken sails all aflutter with flags and pennants. The Emperor Tiberias doubless sailed about the Mediteranean with trireme driven by scores of galley slaves. But Jesus elected to go about in the boats fishermen odorous with the smell of fish, And the friend- ships he formed and cemented there the beginning of life time oempanionships. His thorough fellowship on the Galilian Lake lead His friends into a higher service, “Fishers of Men.” Yes, the presence of Jesus with the of Galilee have sur- rounded that Lake with a halo of but the Sea of Galilee, not extend ot were fishermen gr] a4, gory.

But you find in Christ's teaching no high flown rhapsodies on these marvelous works of nature. His hearers might not have had imagination enough to follow that.

They might want the children to be saints, but they never commanded the saints to be children. None other so tenderly took them up with words of kindness and blessed them. The encircling arms of Christ has ever surrounded child- hood with a kalo of glory. I wish you to notice to the monument by which He wishes 1o be remembered. When Mausolus, King of Carea, prepared for death, he prepared a vault upon a base 250 feet high, on which stood a chamber surrounded by an_ inoic ‘colonade of 36 columns, and upon this was a pyramid of 24 steps. Upon the truncated apex of this pryamid was a marble four horse chariot and in the chariot colossal statues of Mausolus and his wife, Artimisia.

The old song is Jesus in His parables spoke of many classes of men, kings, Jords, princess, judges, farmers, tax ga herers, fishermen, : chant- men, but I want yeu to >-nerially observe His glorifying the profes- sion of the shepherd. Our concep- tion of the shepherd of Palestine is high and noble. It was not 50 regarded as a wh le in Palestine. It did not require any decree of} : industry | hath shaken kingdoms down, whose education, intellegen~e, or to be a shepherd. It was a lazy| man’s job and shepherds generally were not held in such high esteem. | t Jesus seizing upon the heroic elements, ' true— “On a hill far away stood lan old rugged Cross, the emblem of suffering and shame.” The Ro- mans reserved crucifixion for the punishment of the foulest crimin- _als of the foreigners. No Roman | was crucified. But Jesus dies on | the Cross and now the. Cross is | transformed. Well has Alfred | Noyes written: “Whence came this prentice Carpenter, Whose voice menial gibbit rises triumphant o’r the wreck of empires and stretches out its arms amongst the Stars.” The Cross reconciled God and the romatic features of| man. The Cross saves from sin. a rather unheroic and unromatic | “So we love that old Cross for the dearest and best, for a world of lost sinners was slain.” No doubt in this day of careless thought, the Cross is often care- lessly sacrelegeously used to or- nament an arch or to enhance de- coletee beauty, but to those who believe it is the power of God, so that Christians of every tongue sing: “In the of Christ I glory, Towering o'r the wrecks of time, All the light of sacred story, Gathers round his head sublime.” Paul tells us in another place that there are a! sorts of vessels, Cross some of honor and some of dis- honor, but we have this treasure in earthen’ vessels, the power of God. Jesus said, “The glory that thou hast given nie, I've given them.” What or specimens of humanity we find in a world with- | out Christ, but how Christ can! transform them by His presence | even as He transformed the son of Thunder, and Simon called | Peter, and Thomas, the Doubter.

He formulated the idea at an early age that a man had to fight for everything he got, and that the other fellow was not to be considered—unless one could afford to do But Tim learned also that society was de- pendent on itself for its existence. 50. He therefore determined to like people, despite his disbelief in them. Tim developed a pleasing per- sonality. People liked him because |he pretended to like them. He | was ambitious and successful. Be- } fore he reached the age of twenty- ‘one he had overcome the handicap | of poverty-stricken At | twenty-five, Tim Burton was near a millionaire. Before he was thirty, parents. } he had doubled his first million. | Then he quit; he reasoned he had | enough money. Now he determined |to spend it in a mann to suit | himself. His habit of } r people caused him to enter upon some | unique experiments. He decided |to search out young people who | were trying to get a foothold in | their chosen professions, and give them a boost. He found young doct law- | vers, writers, singers, engineers, jand actors, young businessmen and bewildered youths. He travel- ed the length and breadth of the country, and whenever he located someone who was working hard and not getting ahead, he would | present a sizeable voucher, con- | sistently refusing collateral. | Tim acquired a reputation. He | became known as “Liberal Tim.” People flocked to him, and he never turned a deaf ear to an | honest request. He had no illusions. He did not decieve himseit into believing that if something happen- ed to hiim, and he needei help, these selfsame people would rush and fight to pay the debt. He did {not believe that things worked ; out that way in the scheme of | life. People would fight to get, | but not to give. That was natural jhuman instinct. The friends he had made were fair-weather friends—and that was all right | with him. Some men bought ocean |} cruisers, or fine houses, or furs and jewels. He chose to buy the vision of hope in the eyes of a des- pairing young singer. ‘There was no difference, as he saw it. Tim Burton’s reputation far and wide. His friends began to wonder if there was no end to his wealth. Tim did not worry about this; he was too shrewd, he ' figured, to lose all his money. But something did happen. <A bank failed. An oil well ran dry. A pros- pecting expedition failed. One day Tim Burton found hifself a bank- rupt. He grinned, and disappeared. |He wanted to spare his friends the pain of refusing to return the favor. He thought they would want to forget what he hiad done, and would avoid him. For two years Tim roamed the world under an assumed name, spread trying to recoup his fortune. One (Continued On Page Three) boys lost 35-20. And then States-| / ville, and when the final whistle blew our girls had tied Statesville 25-25 and our boys lost 25-23. The junior teams at this writing, have only had one game each, our ninth grade girls losing to States- ville 15-10; the 125Ib. boys losing to Statesville 29-7. Here is what we have yet to play: Kannapolis, their boys’ team is ledaing the conference so far undefeated; then a gpme with Union Grove, not a conference game; then with Mornroe, Moores- ville, and return games with Kan- napolis and Statesville, and then the tournament. We will probably enter the Landis tournament and the Salisbury tonrnament. Our junior teams will enter the tour- nament at Barium about the mid- dle of March, When that’s all over there will be some tired referee's whistles or tired ears fom hear- ing those whistles, and maybe some tired basketballs, the players Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, Barium Springs, N.

He pretended not to know | Stone, and endeavored to pass, but Stone exclaimed, “For the life of me—Tim Burton!” Tim was caught. He merely said, “Hello, Frank.” “IT am in a terrible rush, Tim,” continued Stone; “where are you living?” “Oh, at the Wise Bard quarters,” answered Tim, and regretted the answer the next moment. Stone shook his hand vigorously and dis- appeared. “Well,” said Tim under his breath, “it’s what I asked for, and I can take it.” Four nights later five men call- ed at the Wise Bard to see “Tim Burton.” They were informed there was no such man registered. But after a minute description of the man sought, the host produced “John Sampson.” “Tim,” exclaimed the men, “we knew you; you will have to come with us.” Tim endeavored to withdraw, but the spokesman took his arm gently, and he walked away with them, Fearing that he might be suspected as a fugitive, he asked the men to explain, but they push-! ed him into a waiting cab. In a few minutes the cab stop- ped in front of a great building. There were crowds of people in| front, cheering and shouting. Tim | thought he could hear his name | called. The men _ rushed him} through the crowd into a great room in the building. The room was filled with people—thousands of them, it seemed to Tim. The men led him to the rostrum, and gave him a seat. Confused and be- wildered, he endeavored to speak | to the men, but the cheers drown- | ed his words. One of the five men stood up to speak. Tim now saw it was Frank Stone. He talked glowingly of some man’s honor. Tim was on excited to comprehend the mean-| ing of what was happening. Fin-| ally Stone stepped up to Tim, and} said affectionately, “Folks, here’s the fellow I mean ” Two men lifted Tim to his feet. The cheering was tumultuous. Tim began to see a new light in human nature. He looked at the audience and recognized many of the old faces—the faces of those he had assisted with his money. Some- one was elbowing his way to the front. Then he thrust a slip of) paper into Tim's hand. A_ tiny! note was attached, which read: “Just a little token of appreciation from the folks you befriended.” The slip was a voucher for a large sum of money. “Frank—” Tim turned to his/ old friend, “Frank, tell these foul- weather friends of mine—” But the tumult of cheers made further speech impossible. Tim's’ eyes were drenched, and in his throat was a something that would not down. Richard Hill Wiikinson. RULES FOR GRAMMAR Three little words you often see are articles a, an, and the.

Johnston, Dear Mr. Johnston: The literature on Barium you sent me reached me safely, and I found it to be very interesting, especially the pamplet on Little Joe’s Church. This brought to my mind things I have not thought of for many years. I must say that it is true Joe’s favorite song was “When the roll is called up yonder,” although I had not thought of that in many years. Joe could be crying and we could say, “Laugh Joe, Laugh,” and he could start laughing with the tears still rolling down his cheeks. Once we were singing songs in the chapel and we sang “Old Black Joe”, and Joe began crying. Miss ‘Celeste Boyd said, “Joe, we are not singing about you, we are singing about a black man named Joe.” Then Joe began laughing with tears still rolling down his cheeks. We also sang “Hail Columbia, Call the Muster Roll, All true men are with you heart and soul, Wave Old Glory, let the eagle scream. Truth and right and justice are supreme.” Joe though the words of the last line were “truth and right and just a saucer of cream.” (Continued On Page Three) $227.21 Raised By Barium School Since the beginning of present school term the following amounts have been collected by the Barium Springs School for thle causes listed below.

BENTON “A Light in a Dark World” The world in which we live is a place of beauty and goodliness in which God has made _ bountiful provision for all the needs of his creatures, But evil long ago made its entrance into God’s world and the trail of the serpent which is everywhere evident has time and again threatened to obscure the handiwork of the Creator. The day in which we live is dark with prob- lems brought on by hate and greed and fear. Men yearn for something that will lighten the darkness and give them assurance that good will prevail. God in his wisdom and love has provided an unfailing light for all who will use it. The Psalmist, fac- ing the evil and darkness of his own day, knew of this light and exclaimed, “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” And Peter, writing centuries later in another period of dark- ness, echoes, “We have the word of prophecy made more sure, where- unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp that shineth in a dark place.” The scripture makes a definite j claim to throw light upon the areas of greatest human need. Throughout the Old Testament a beacon is focused upon the com- ing Christ who shall win the vic- tory over evil for all men. The New Testament presents the claim of Jesus of Nazareth to be this deliverer and King and offers the promise of His unfailing care to all His followers. To those sunk in sin it says that “He that be- lieveth is not condemned”. To those confronted by death it says that “he that believeth hath ever- lasting life’.’ To those who are worried (and there is cause for worry today if ever) it declares, “Be careful for nothing but — let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” No matter (Continued On Page Two) Death Notice “Mrs. Prayer Meeting died re- cently at the First Neglected Church, on Worldly Avenue.” Born many years ago in the midst of great revivals, she was a strong healthy child, fed largely on test- imony and scriptural holiness, soon growing into world-wide promin- ence, and was one of the most in- fluential members of the famous church family. For the past several years Sister Prayer Meeting has been in fail- ing health, gradually wasting away until rendered helpless by stiff- ness of knees, coldness of heart, inactivity, and weakness of pur- pose and willpower. At the last she was but a shadow of her former self. Her last whispered words were inquiries concerning the strange absence of her loved ones, Rev. and Mrs. F. B. Benton and Elizabeth The entire community at Ba- rium is overjoyed at the coming of the new pastor and his family to Little Joe’s Church. You will see the three reasons why just above. The whole family of three has already endeared themselves to everyone, Rev. Francis B. Benton is a na- tive of Alabama. He graduated from Southwestern University at Memphis in 1936, with the degree of B. A. After teaching two years at McCallie School in Chattanooga he took his Seminary training at Columba Seminary, Decatur, Ga. where he graduated in 1941 with the degree of B. D. Mr. Benton was licensed and or- dained by the Presbytery of Knox- ville, May 11, 1941. Before coming to Barium Mr. Benton had served in two very | | successful pastorates in Etowah 'Memorial Fund Continues To Grow The Memorial Fund for the new church at Presbyterian Orphans’ Home continues to grow steadily. It has now attained the wonderful total of $43,364.23 which is the actual value of the bonds and cash on hand. For the past two years this fund has grown on the aver- age of one thousand dollars per month, If building conditions were normal we would begin at once on the first unit of our building as we estimate that in normal times we could build either the auditorium or the Educational Building for $50,009. But owing to abnormal building conditions the Committee on Buildings and Grounds do not plan at this time to begin any major building pro- gram. They hope that by waiting, to get much better value for the funds contributed as memorials. Vhile no final plans have been approved by the regents it is thought that the Auditoruim and the Educational Building can be erected for $100,000. We «re happy that we have made such fine progress toward reaching that goal. Attends Convention in Winston-Salem On March 8th and 9th in Wins ton-Salem at the Robert E. Lee and Dyersburg, Tenn. In January 1944, Mr. Benton was married to Miss Mildred Thomas of Chiarlotte. Mrs Ben- ton is a graduate of the Assembly’s Training School in Richmond, Va. The third and most interesting member of the family group is is Elizabeth Louise better known as Betty. We heartily and happily wel- come this family to Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. We cordially in- vite the members of our Messen- ger Family to attend worship with us and hear Mr. Benton preach. We are sure you will agree with us that we are very fortunate in securing this man who has accept- ed the unanimous call of Little Joe’s Church.

Library Notes Our library here at Barium is one of the things we are very proud of. Perhaps no other school in Ire- dell County system has so well hotel, the annual State Beta Club Convention was held. Four of us members - W. A. Johnson, Maggie Katen, Lucile Smith, and Dewie Belie Buie were chosen to repre- sent our local chapter. We were very fortunate to be accomodated with nice living quarters at Chil- dren's Home. A talent show was staged by. Beta members of va- rious chapters on Friday night The show lasted weli into the night but none became restless, becaused skilled talent was displayed by every contestant. Saturdajy, we attended several business meet- ings which dealt chiefly with ways of promoting leadership and ac- tivity among the individual chap- ters. The election of state officers was held in the afternoon after which the meeting was adjourned. From 4:60 to 5:00, the girls were invited to an informal tea at Salem College. Following the tea, we scurried “home” and donned our formals for an exciting evening.

Edna Ellis and Pattie Inman had visitors last Sunday and they stayed most of the day. We are practicing our play for the Kiwanis and we hope some of you can come to see it. We got our report cards this month and just Pattie Inman made the honor roll, but everyone is go- ing to try very hard and see how many can bring home the honor roll next time. We went to the show Saturday and it was very good. That is all for this month but you will hear from us again next time. — The Howard Girls ANNIE LOUISE Hello Folks, This is the Annie Louise Girls bringing you the latest news from our cottage. We got our report cards last week and very few were on the honor roll, but we hope to have twice as many next time. Lois Dellinger; Linda Inman, Shirly Plyler, Shirly Shaw, Phebee Cochron, Martha Nell Hall, and Mary Bowles have recited the Catechism for young. children. Most of the other girls in our cottage have recited it before. Our basketball teams entered a tournament at Landis. Our boys lost out but our girls go to the finals tonight. We also enter a tournament at Catawba College this week. Our last game of the year was with Statesville and we won, We are all enjoying these beau- tiful days. It seems as if King Winter, Jack Frost, and Queen Snow have returned home after wearing out their welcome.

They should be watch- ing those wonderful games, I wonder why Betty Joe, Lucille Stricklin and Ernestine are so ex- cited about the big tournament coming up this week. It could be that Landis is entering. Hey, “Strick,” quit turning flips. Our “all star” player, Adelia Knight is a little on the blue side now. Could it be that she hasn’t heard from the Navy in a good while? Is it that he is out of the service or on a leave? We all wonder what Earl Adams was doing over at Howard playing dodge ball? He looks okay outside but how about inside, “Red” Price. Mary Francis Isenhour doesn't seem so sad because Donald Pettus left. She seems to be doing better with Roscoe Smith. This seems to be the first time we haven’t caught Lee Vinson writing a service guy. Could it be that she has lost all interest in boys or is she looking for a better one? We haven’t much to say about Helen Hawley since she has al- ready received a diamond. But the guy isn’t bad at all. This wedding that Willie went to two weeks ago.

Peter can Anyone can make claims, say, “We have this word of proph- ecy made more sure.” He and the others who followed Jesus dur- earthly ministry knew that of which they spoke. They had heard the divine voice at His baptism, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” Tney have seen this same Jesus glorified in the Transfiguration. And even more important, they had seen Him risen from the dead and as- cended into heaven. It is on the basis of such witnesses that the claims of the Scripture were f given credence. Nineteen ceniur- ies have added such overwhelm-! ing proof in the lives of countless! Christians that denial is no longer possible. The Word of Ged is a never-} failing light for those who will. search the Scripture and lay it up in their hearts. It is the one lamp set ifst the gossip from our cottage. with power to lighten the dark-| |mess that is over the world today.

Our accession book shows that we have catalogued 5 559 PAGE TWO | books 329 of these books were add- ed this year. 177 of these books were sent to the elementary school. Sixty six of the books added this year were gifts. We are particular- ly pleased over a new set of Comp- ton’s Encyclopedias. Our library has been newly painted this year and flourescent lights have been installed. Posters by Adelia Knight and Ear! Allen help to make it inviting. Fifteen magazines and _ three newspapers come regularly to us; friends on the campus supplement this number by giving us their copies. These are all filed for re- ference. An attractive display of our new books was made and shown at a teachers meeting last fall. The pages are working on col- lecting and mounting pictures to have available to teachers who wish to use them in connection with their particular subjects. Another of our projects was to make possible a small library at Rumple Hall for the girls that live there by putting in their living room juvenile books which were not regularly classified for high school students. Most of the children at Barium like to read books. We like Words- worth’s quotations about books which we have on one of our post- ers: Dream books are each a and books we know Are substantial world both pure and good.

AP APRIL 1946 No. 6 Memorial Service for 15 Barium Boys Who Died In Service Rev. Joe H. Carter to! Basketball Banquet | Deliver Com’encement Was Held April 12th Address at Barium Commencement is just the corner. It is amazing things happen in the spring. One| day we are shivering from the March winds and the next day all the leaves are out and we are talk- ing about commencement. Already commencement doings are taking place. The seventh grade have put on their minstrel, and a most enjoy- able occasion it was. As this is written the fourth graders have themselves all dolled up and are planning for their performance at the chapel hour today. There will be something from each class or each section of school until the big day - May 12th and 138th. Reverend Cliff McLeod of the First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville will preach our bac- calaureate sermon on the morning of May 12th. Mr. McLeod was a seminary classmate of our pastor, Reverend F. B. Benton. On Monday night the final com- mencement exercises will be held, and our speaker for that occasion is Reverend Joe H. Carter, D. D., pastor of the Newton Presbyterian Church, lately moved back to North Carolina from Anderson, Carolina. The speaker for Sunday night has not been secured at this writ-! ing. The sermon on Sunday night is addressed to the members of the Young People’s Societies, but the congregation is the same which hears the baccalureate sermon on Sunday morning. Our graduating class this year is the smallest in many years. In fact, this is the year when the high schools all over the State have very small graduating classes. Four years ago no one was pro- moted from the elementary schools to the high schools due to the fact that an extra grade was added to the elementary school. We have two boys and five girls. In next month’s Messenger we will have their pic- tures and a brief write-up of each one and their address at that time. Vacations You can pretty well tell the time of year at Barium by listening to the conversation of the children. If it is the fall of the year for a time it is about Thanksgiving and football games, and then it is about Christmas. In the winter and spring by the time basketball has ceased to be a subject of conversation the question is, “when can I go on my vacation?” Well, this article at- tempts to answer that question. Our school will be out May 13th. There are many things to be done during May and we are going to have a daily vacation Bible school early in June, and this means that June 10th will be as early as vaca- tions ean commence. Vacations must be over by July 27th at the latest. Our camp on the river will start the following Monday and be over by August 17th. We will pro- bably start school the following week, or early the week after that. I hope matrons, children, rela- tives, and friends will clip this par- ticular article and not make any arrangements for any vacations except between the dates mention- ed. The maximum length of time for each vacation will be two weeks unless there is some extraordinary reason for a longer vacation. South |! | banquet was held last night with just homefolks attending. This is | the first time since these banquets were started many years ago that ino outside guests were invited, but just the Barium Springs folks teachers, matrons, and their families, and it was a large gathering about 160 being present. Reverend R. S. Arrowood was toastmaster and handled the talk- ing part of the occasion in such a happy and expeditious manner that the banquet was over at 8:30. The letters for the Junior Girls’ team were delivered by R. E. Jack- ins. Mr. Jackins has officiated in a good many games and had seen our Junior teams play. His com- parison as to the spirit and sports- manship of our teams was most gratifying to hear. The Junior Girls receiving letters are as fol- lows: Dickie Arrowood, Annie Star Langly, Vivian Jacumin, Francis Stricklin, Nellie Isenhour, Ann Wicker, Lorena Hall, Margaret Bullard, Juanita Young, Elsie Vest, and Dorothy Shepherd. Joe Ben Gibbs, a returned mar- line, delivered the letters to the , 125 - lb Boys. Joe Ben was a mem- (Continued On Page Two) workers, Short On Pictures This Month We had hoped to have cuts in this Messenger of Miss Maggie Adams and Miss Mona Clark, and one of the pictures having to do with our memorial service, but we were unable to get any of these pictures. Next month the Messen- ger will be decorated with the pictures of our graduating class. Four years ago these pictures took the entire front page of the Mess- enger - there are not so many this year but you will be glad to look at them. We will be homesick for them when they leave us. Speaking of pictures, there is one that remains in our mind and we wish we could reproduce it for you. The event took place on Easter Sunday morning - twenty-two young people joined Little Joe’s Church, and twenty of them were baptized. There are many beauti- ful and solemn occasions in our little church here at Barium. Com- | munion is always such an occasion to see this church full of small chil- ren perfectly quiet, and partaking of, without fully understanding, something of the spiritual bless- ings that come with a Communion Service. And then the occasions when a number join the church - it is not often that as many as twenty-two join at one time. The occasions are beautiful and we do not believe that they are for- gotten by those participating in any way in these occasions. We wish we could picture to you the beauty and solemnity of this wonderful thing. Those joining the church were: Florence Andrews, Rachel Bulland, Donald Campbell, Junior Cox, William Ennis, James Freeman, James Harrison, James Harwell, Eugene Hucks, James Hucks, Rena Hollifield, Thomas Jordan, Edward Lane, Clayton Miller, Donald Moore, Edsel McArthur, Leroy (Continued On Page Two) 7; Gen.

JOHNSTON | Barium Community Saddened by Death of Two Workers The Barium Springs community has been saddened by the death of two of its most faithful workers, Miss Margaret Adams and Miss Mona Clark. Miss Adams was for many years matron of the larger girls and then head matron of the whole institu- tion. During her stay at Barium at least a thousand girls were under her supervision and care. This many women living today have had their lives touched and to a certain extent moulded by the work of this consecrated woman. Miss Adams gave up her work at Barium in 1940 due to failing health. She has lived in nearby Statesville since that time with her sister, Miss Mattie Adams. There never has been a visit from return- ing Barium people who knew Miss Adams but that their first inquiry was “How is Miss Adams?” The news of her death as it will be spread over the country in this Messenger will bring sadness to many who knew Miss Adams and loved her. From far away Portland, Oregon, came a young woman with ton, W. A. Johnson, and Billy Lybrand. | Only one of these contestants received a rating of I. That was (Continued On Page Three) The Junior Mid-Piedmont Awarded Legion of Merit Tournament This is a story that should have gotten into the last issue of the Messenger.

Here's the | ir =| way things turned out in the tour- The nament. The first girl’s team which we Pastor’s Paragraph met was Celeste-Henkel, the one- time champions. The Barium team of Davidson, Dr. Prichett made the memorial address, pointing out the beauty of service, the nobility of sacrifice and the abiding hope of reunion through faith. Rev.

This ce, the elaborate the reading of the angels at the spired preaching of the glorious Easter truths have thrilled our hearts, reminding us anew of the gift of life which the first Easter brought to us. As we turn back from this mountain top experience into the vally of every- day living, we need to be reminded that even eternal life is a worth- less gift unless we are willing to received it and use its power. Some time ago I heard a story, whether true or not I do not know, of a small community back in the mountains near the North Caro- lina-Tennessee border. The advent of T. V.

Just as Miss Adams had help- ed develop character, so did Miss Clark, not only character but personality and appearance. The well-dressed appearance of our girls was largely due to Miss Clark’s efficient methods. For a number of year. we had arranged it so that the vacation in the sew- ing-room would be during the months of January and February, at a time when the larger girls were so interested in basketball, and that the sewing-room would work right on through the summer when other people were having vacations. Miss Clark helped to work out this idea and managed her work most efficiently. As she was closing up the sewing room for this January and February vaca- tion, she asked us if we could not brighten up the sewing-room with and Sometime paint with a few decorations.

The last patient we sent up had mumps. We are looking forward to our Easter parade with all of our new dresses and shoes, Betsy Dishman and _ Vivian Jacumin have had visits from their sisters. Jean McDonald, Betty Ann Andrews and Vivian Jacumin are keeping up our record of having someone on the honor roll each month. We were delighted to receive the news that our superintendent, Mr. J. B. Johnston had been elected president of the Tri-State Con- ference of Orphanage workers. We are already talking about the close of school so near. We only have three weeks till school is out. Basketball season is over and Vivian Jacumin from our cottage received a certificate for playing on the junior team. We were also champion and got a lovely trophy.

I Christians there are who are chronic worriers! They live constantly in fesr of what some tomorrow may brine. They fear for their own health or for of other members of their family. They worry about their ibs or their futures or about any one of a thousand other And yea the cift of eternal life assures us that “all things work together for good to them that love God.” We are rerinded to “be careful for nothing byt in every- thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your re- quests be made known unto God.” Easter’s gift is intended to give to us “the peace that passeth all States Army Air Corps. One of our (FORM OF BEQUEST) “1 give and bequeath to the REGENTS OF THE ORPHANS HOMF SYNOD OF 1 Under the laws of the state of North Carolina, (HERE NAMF things. } NORTH CAROLINA, /ncorporated understanding” in our hearts. Pessimism is another burden | that many Christians carry need- | lessly. It is true that the outlook | for our world is dark today if we have no power beyond human strength and goodness upon which we can rely. But the Christian has a faith which can make him an optimist. “If Christ be not risen, your faith is vain”, but Christ is risen and our faith in God’s plan to redeem the world from sin and evil is a certainty. The resurrec- tion is a token to us of God’s love that overcomes every evil. Resting upon it, we can see the light that glows even in the darkest time and we can face the future with confi- dence. Selfishness is a burden many Christians fail to recognize as such. It restricts one’s interests and pleasures to the small world of himself and his own pleasures. The eternal life which Christ gvies makes us members of the great family of God and opens,for us worlds which cannot be known otherwise. It gives our lives a great purpose and a noble plan. We learn the pleasure of serving others and enjoy the privilege of sharing with God in the building of His Kingdom. David Livingston, when questioned about the sacrifices he had made going to Africa, showed that he had learned this truth. “Sacrifice!” he replied. “Why I have never made a sacrifice in my life.” His work was not a burden was bearing but a means of rolling away the burden of selfish- ness. he Consider your own life and you will doubtlessly find other burdens that you are bearing thus needless- ly. The gift of life on that first Easter morning was meant to set us free. Christ is risen, and we can leave the load we are carrying in his empty tomb. Let us then live the luxury of contentment, faith and service which are meant to he ours along with eternal life. in Memorial Service for (Continued From Page One) memorial to each of the fifteen hovs, giving a brief sketch of each | hov.

The address by Dr. Pritchett followed the In Memoriam and after that General Smythe was introduced who in turn presented General Eddy. General Eddy had a special mission, the presentation of the Legion of Merit to the mother of Lieutenant Colonel James Johnston. Colonel Johnston served under Major General Eddy and General Eddy paid tribute to him as comrade at arms, personal friend and a man of high courage, steadfast principals and devotion to duty. Major Wylie read the cita- tion that accompanied the award and General Eddy then handed the medal to Mrs. Joseph B. Johnston, who stood, with her husband, to receive it. The citation is as fol- lows: : Lieutenant Colonel James OD. Johnston, as Commanding Officer, 2nd Battalion 47th Infantry Regi- ment, displayed exceptional lead- ership and ability from November, 1943 to June, 1944 while organiz- ing, training and leading his out- standing combat unit into battle. His courage and relentless deter- mination enabled his battalion to establish a highly enviable record in Tunisia, Sicily, and in the criti- cal stages of the Normandy cam- paign, when it swept gallantly across the Cotentin Peninsula and insured against any possible es- cape of enemy troops contained therein. Until mortally wounded by an enemy shell he was a con- stant example to his command, a ; battalion which earned three Dis- 11. Bruce Parcell, Lt. Col., U. S.! Army Air Corps.

Representatives from the families of the boys who were memorialized were present, some coming from a distance, and there was a large group of interested friends present also for the service. Basketball Banquet (Continued From Page One) ber of the original 125-lb team got- ten out by Barium Springs, the first team to win a championship in the Junior Tournament. He is still almost small enough to make this 125-lb team. He was discharg- ed from the service and landed at Barium in time to see the Junior Tournament this year but very few of the Varsity games. His com- ments on the play of the Juniors was highly complimentry. Those receiving letters are as follows: Jimmy Williams, Rufus Clark, Donald Mitchell, Paul Barnes. James Reid, Fred Feimster, Ray Huddleston, Bert Atwood. Mr. Barkley, coach, delivered the letters to the Varsity Girls. He spoke of the pleasure he had in coaching this team and the spirit which they had displayed all dur- ing the season. In spite of the fact that many of the games during the season were won or lost by one or two point margins, he did not lose very many of the remaining hairs on his head. Lee Vinson, Guard, was elected captain of the team for the year, and also voted the most valuable by her team-mates. Those receiving letters are as follows: Lee Vinson, Janie Hall, Helen Hawley, Tony DeLancy, Hannah Price, Lucille Stricklin, Adelia Knight, Helen Vinson. The Varsity Boys’ letters were delivered by Joseph B. Johnston who had a few remarks to make on the record of the team. The fact that Barium was the only team to defeat Kannapolis and Children’s Home on their home courts was a matter that seemed worthy of comment, The girls team played all of the good teams in the confer- ence and was the only team that did so, and in spite of this only lost two games. Boys winning letters are as follows: Earl Adams, Jerry Young, Benny Gregory, Charles Barrett, Jack Jones, Dwight Spen- cer, Earl Allen, The captain elect- ed for the year was Earl Adams The one voted most valuable his team-mates, Jerry Young, Attention was called to the trophies won during the year.

Streamers of pastel - colored crepe paper decorated the room. Easter colors with emphasis on blue and white, senior class colors, were carried out in all decorations. The place cards, rabbits with funny faces, long ears, and high collars, were made from boiled eggs. The programs also carried out the “bunny” scheme. Blue candle in white holders (made and painted by the boys) furnished the light. Narcisis and blue iris were arrang- ed in erystal bowls as table center pieces, After the welcome song by the junior class, W. A. Johnson said grace. A five course dinner was served by Dickie Arrowood, Mild- red Monroe, Elizabeth Johnson, Dorothy Plummer, Betty Sue Wolfe, Bradley Manus, and Kath- leen Monroe. Kenneth Manus, , Rufus Clark, Jimmy Williams, ! Kenneth Jackson, and Donald Moore assisted “back stage”. Dwight Spencer gave a toast to, the senoirs, to which Roscoe Smith responded. Margaret Katen gave the toast to Mr. T. Ward me (superintendent of Irelell County! Schools) and his wife. Lee Vinson | toasted Mr. Wm. Hethcox, the prin- cipal. These toasts, written in> rhyme, were done in colaboration : with an English project on “Savoir Faire”. | Group singing lead by Mary Ann | between | Ryder was enjoyed courses. The guest speaker, Rev. Homer Keever of Union Grove, a former | member of our high school faculity, | was introduced by Benny Gregory. | Guest to the banquet included | the members of the senior class, | Adilia Knight, Lucy Johnson, Lucille Smith, Blanche Feimster, Dewie Belle Buie, Amos Hardy, and Roscoe Smith, and the mascot Bobby Arrowood, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Johnston, Mr. R. E. Jackins, Rev. and Mrs. F. B. Benton, Miss Rebecca Carpenter, Miss Sara MeNeil, Rev. and Mrs. R. S. Arro- wood, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Barkley, Mr. J. H. Lowrance, Mr. and Mrs. T. Ward Guy, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Keever and members of the high school faculty. The juniors who were hosts were as follows: Earl Adams, Earl Allen, Mary Ann Ryde~, Myrtle Rushing, Lee Vinson, Hele. siaw- ley, Mary Frances Isenhour, Elea- nor Pope, Miriam Huddleston, Margaret Katen, Jeanne McDon- ald, Benny Gregory, Dwight Spen- cer, W. A. Johnson, Toni Delancy, | Buddy Lippard, and Hannah Price. | The banquet was under the cap- able direction of Miss Cloyce Moose, junior class sponsor. —Hannah Price The Junior (Continued From Page One) brought us up to the finals and the team Barium faced in the finals was China Grove. Now: China| Grove had defeated Scotts and Cool Springs, two good teams, and were the favorites to win in the finals. The first half was on rather easy terms, but in the second half | Barium pulled away and won 24-18. Now for the boys. The boys started out against Cleveland. Cleveland was a much weaker team and the score was lopsided- 42-3. In the second go-round Barium met Celeste-Henkel and defeated that team 24-18. And then into the finals against the team that had beaten us badly twice during the season - Statesville. The Barium boys would just not be denied - the final score was Barium 28 - Statesville 20. Just a word about this tourna- ment. It started out about six years ago with 16 teams participating. Very few grown people came to see the youngsters play, but the tournament has grown in popular- ity and this year there were almost as many spectators as there were for some of our big tournaments. Plans are already on foot to ex- pand it from 24 to 32 teams in 1947, making it cover as much ground as the big tournament. The fact that there is double elimination means| WYacDonald College many more games and much more| spring holidays at fun, because sometimes after one of these teams lose a game they really enjoy playing the other games. Any team that wins two of the three games wins a trophy. The other teams that won trophies were the Statesville Girls, Moores- ville Boys, Scotts Girls, West Yad- kin Boys, Catawba Girls, Trout- man Boys, Cleveland Girls, and Celeste Henkel Boys. The runners- up were the China Grove Girls, and! the Statesville Boys and they, of course, received trophies too. Barium Community (Continued From Page One) this had been done, and she ex- pressed great delight over the pros- pect of coming back to these brighter surroundings at the end of her vacation. As we know now, she was not permitted to come back. Her illness became more severe and she passed away early in April. It would be difficult to name two people whose lives were more filled with usefulness and who touched more other lives for good. We mourn their passing and their memory will continue to inspire us to ever try to make Barium a better place, High School Enters (Continued From Page One) the alto soloist, Dorothy Shepherd.

C., MAY 1946 No. 7 yen 9 po THE 1946 GRADUATING CLASS One of the most pleasing parts | iw i Vol. Z of the Barium Springs commence- ment programs each year is the awarding of various medals and prizes to outstanding students by the Orphanage Superintendent, Mr. Johnston. Few people knew who the ones were who would re- ceive prizes, and it was interesting to watch the expressions of pleasure, and sometimes, surprise, as the names were called. Cash prizes for those in the grammar grades and high school who made the highest grades during | the year went to Tommy Scott, Hazel Creech, Louise Campbell, Shirley Inman, Peggy Neel, Mary Morgan, Ernestine Baldwin, Han- nah Price, Margaret Katen, and Dwight Spencer, Mr. Fred Sherrill of Statesville each year gives forty dollars to be divided among the pupils who have shown the most improvement, not! only in scholarship, but also in} general attitude, conduct, and ef-| fort. This year, those who received | awards from this fund were: James Jackson, Sarah Bradshaw, Bobby Johnson, Peggy Plyler, Elizabeth ; Johnson, Lorene Hall, Frances Adams, Margaret Bullard, Mildred Monroe, Bennie Gregory, Earl Adams, and Roscoe Smith. Prizes were given to Mary Mor- gan and Jeane Steppe by the libra- rian for service to the school through outstanding and consistent work in the library. Certificates which were received at the District Music Contest in Charlotte some weeks ago were presented to Dorothy Shepherd and Bradley Jean Manus, Soloists, and | 4 to representatives of the girls’ trio, mixed quartet, and mixed chorus. Helen Hawley was given a prize Fin j by the piano teacher for consistent ‘By ; work in music. i be Three medals are presented each year at the commencement pro-| Top to Bottom: gram.

Roscoe entered that year and is the last of the Smith connection from Pink Hill. Of the two families there were nine altogether. Roscoe is the biggest of the lot. Top to Bottom: LUCY JOHNSON - Entered in 1939 from Tarboro and she plans to live in Tar- boro from right now on. Lucy is the second of a family of three girls and leaves a younger sister, Elizabeth, to carry on at Barium, of Bible passages.

RUEUN scans scancieiees sclpiincs 5.00 eS SS _ Vol. 23 Concerning the Once A Month Sunday School Collection Some months ago there was an article in the Messenger telling in fable style of the death of the Prayer Meeting. This article is about the slowly dying of the once a month Sunday Schoo! Collection. This Sunday School collection has been approved by the Synod of North Carolina for over twenty- five years. It has been practiced in many churches and it apparently has had a wholesome effect, not only on the Sunday School in in- creased interest in Barium, but in- creasing its interest in the other benevolences. In by far the most instances it has shown a commen- dable increase in the Sunday School collection for that Sunday, and some improvement in the other Sundays, even when the Barium cause has not been stressed. In cases where there has been an enthusiastic promoter of the Barium cause Sunday School col- lections have reached amazing pro- portions, and yet with all of this, the sum total of the Sunday School offerings has never reached an impressive figure. We do not rely on that as a major portion of our support, and yet we are enthusi- astie about the idea. Children grow up knowing about Barium and they early get the thrill of doing some- thing for Barium. There are very few Sunday Schools in our church that do not have some contact with Barium, either by having a child to go from that Sunday School to Barium or to go from Barium to that Sunday School. In many com- munities there are families where either the father or mother was raised at Barium. These are always enthusiastic supporters of Barium. It is so easy to work up enthus- iam for this wonderful place that Report On Meeting | of General Assembly | The news of most importance | |to the Presbyterians of North Carolina is of the meeting of the | General Assembly which was he in Montreat, North Carolina, on | May 23rd through May 28th. | This Assembly was very well | attended as there were 371 present | out of a possible 378 Commission- ers, so only seven places were va- cant. The Moderator’s sermon ‘was preached by the retiring Modera- tor, Dr. C. K. Young of Memphis, Tennessee. His very timely topic was “Christianity’s Most Excel- lent Way.” Quite a spirited contest was held for the Modenatorship, and finally Dr. J. B. Green of Decatur, Ga. was unanimously elected. Dr. Green is retiring as Professor of Theology of Columbia Theological Seminary, but will next year teach Homeletics. The reports of the various com- mittees were generally very en- couraging and challenging. From the Foreign Missions Re- port we learn that we now have 341 missionaries, some of whom particularly from Asia, are now in the United States, but these are anxiously awaiting the time j ween conditions will allow them to return. Last year we spent on foreign missions $1,209,185.00. The | Churches are asked to give | $1,430,000.00 next year. From the, Report of the Assembly’s Com- mittee on Home Missions, we learn 'that we have 479 workers engaged in 812 projects. The receipts for the Assembly’s Home Missions last year were $521,544.00, and we are asked to give for this cause for the coming year $699,750.00. The Committee on Evangelism | wipente that 18,913 were received BARIUM SPRINGS, N. © the Sunday School offering be-}on the profession of faith last comes not a burden, but a delight-| year. The goal put before us for ful privilege, and in all of our years | next year is for 500 new Sunday at Barium we have yet to hear a| Schools and 50,000 to be received person express the thought that/on profession of faith and 50,000 what they gave to Barium hurt|by letter and restatement. them, or made them unhappy.

F. B. BENTON “OUR FATHER’S WORLD” The season of the out-of-doors ‘has come again, Everywhere men and women and children are leav- ing the crowded cities with their clutter of man-made civilization and going forth to enjoy the refresh- ing qualities of the world of nature As we turn to the mountains, the woods, the seashore, we come face to face with God. Only those the eyes of whose souls are blinded can fail to see Him. Out under the open sky “the heavens declare the glory of God” to us as we turn our faces upward. he immensity of space - the home ef the sun and moon and stara - reminds us of the bigness of our God who created the universe. His glory and majesty and power and wisdom are all written there for us to read. We are moved to ask as did the Psalmist when looking heaven- ward, “What is man that thou art mindful of him?” And in our day of world-wide crisis and evil we might add the question, “What is the power of so insignificant a creature as man to thwart the eternal goodness of the Creator of the heavens and the earth?” The message of God written in the vast- ness of the open sky brings life into its proper perspective and thus brings peace to our souls. Many of us this summer will be journeying inte the mountains, and there again God is about us every- where. “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills”and find there the strength and stability of Maker. As the crashing of much with which we have clothed our lives and our hopes echoes across their sometimes fear th the world, we t we are to be left naked and de- fenceless.

We go to bed talking this subject and its the first thing we think of in the morning. More about this later. Our summer is also bringing about changes such as: Have you folks ever gone through the experience of joy and sorrow at the same time? Then you can feel for because that is just how we feel now. Our joy came us with the coming of Mrs. Mary Bryant, resident director of the Y. W. C, A., Charlotte, who will be he new dean of girls and of Mrs. , who held the same yosition as Mrs. Bryant in Texas. We take this opportunity to give pT £ em warm hand-clasp of wel- come. But as I said we are feeling sorry too at this time because Miss Sara McNeill, who has worked with us, played with us, and felt for us when it was needed, leaves take up work in the First Pres- hbyterian Church in Reidsville, N. C. We are going to miss Miss MeNeill in everything we do. We hate to her leave from our midst but ner she will take our love and us to see ation along with our best wis! for great success in her new work. Come back often, Miss McNeill, and God Bless you. We have a wide awake recrea- tional program this summer, thanks to our summer director Mr. Jerry Newbold. Mr. Newbold came to us from Wilmington soon after leav- ing the Seminary in Richmond where he is studying. Things began to “pick up the day he arrived as he immediately launched a “whiz” of a tennis tournament. the champ- ionship for the girls lies between Peggy Coffey and Margaret Kat- in. The boys have not yet finished the semi-finals but we're for the winner! Specially if he'll be generous as to let us wear the me- dal. One night each week we're hav- ing a program of fun in the gym. Tonight its’ a quiz program. Wish vou could come up and join us and show off your intelligence. so Two afternoons and nights each werk Miss Ruth Troutman, our hives schcol librarian, opens the library for us to keep up with the evrrent events, so our minds will ‘ h-eore too rusty! We get out bo'-ks and Miss Troutman has a study hour with the younger child- ren. To return to vacations you'd be surprised how we miss cne or two girls from our “family of 50” in Womans Building when they go away. Anne Wicker left Saturday and Margaret and Joyce Katen are going tomorrow. The others who are scheduled so far to go this month are Dorothy Plummer, Mary Anne Rhyder, Lee and Helen Vinson, Mildred and Kathleen Mon- roe, Betty Lou Williams, Nellie NORTH CAROLINA, /ncorporated girls! Remember everything so you can tell us all about it when you return. We’ll be going soon. — The Womans Building Girls SYNOD COTAGE Hi Folks, Gee, we are just having loads of fun playing and going in swimming since school is out. None of us can swim yet, but we betcha we'll have some by next month. We already have some expert divers, so we think! And now for some good news. Our matron, Miss Taylor is now sailing on the high seas for Eng- land, to visit relatives. We call this good news because she well deser- ves this three months vacation which she has been looking for- ward to for some time. We miss Miss Taylor an awfully lot, but we are also glad to have Miss Faye Stevenson to help keep us clean and settle our fights and fusses. Really we aren't so bad; it’s just that “Boys will be Boys,’. Vacations have started and two of our boys, Johnny Collins and Idell Andrews are away at the pre- sent. Have a good time boys! Oh yes! We must tell you about the new member of our family. Eleanor Pope and Shirley Inman. They’re our new big “sisters”. Welcome Eleanor and Shirley, we hope we won't cause you to get too many gray hairs. We want to say thanks to Mr. Gene Fraley from Statesville for the box of chocolate candy he gave Miss “Lulie” to give us, yum yum, it was so good! So long for this time folks! We hope you all have a very pleasent summer. As for us, We've already got a grand start so be looking for us next month and we'll tell you about it — The Synod Cottage Boys INFIRMARY Hello Folks, Here we are again bringing you the news of the many different cases we've had since you last heard from us. Our patients have been scarce since the glass and many rocks have been removed., No stumped toes and hardly any} cuts on the feet. Vaccination has i doubtful abo caused a few of the children to visit us. The swimming pool has been a great comfort to us on hot days especially, put, rain or shine thats where we're found most of the time, unless we’ve been bad. We are very proud to say that we have one of our girls going to the conference Monday. Have a' nice time Hazel! Vacations begin the tenth and we sure are giad, but jt won't seem right not having our sweet matron, Mrs. Hoover with us.

One of tiem is a housecat, his name is Pal ner Willcox. Miss Ford is )ianning to take a vacation for tw. weeks. The Floating Group have been working in the Green Woods. We have been cutting down rotton trees. All the house boys are going on a vacation Mr. Newbold has come up to Barium to teach us sports.

We are looking forward for camp to come soon, Some of the girls have gone on a Vacation, these are the girls that have gone: Carol Jean Andrews, Peggy Ann Collins, Aline Thomas, Betty Hollifield, and Letha Walker. — The Howard Girls BABY COTTAGE We are very little but as every- one knows very loud. We have a big time now as we can play outside most of the time. We all had to get punched two week ago and have had very sore ‘arms, but we are great big boys and girls when it comes to any thing like that. We have two new girl with us and a new matron, Miss Moles. We all like them very much. We are al] excited over vacations. Clyde Andrews has already gone and we are all looking forward to our time. And too, several boys will soon move to Synod Cottage to start to school and we are so glad. Well this is about all for now, love to everybody. — Baby Cottage WALLACE COTTAGE It’s been quiet some time since we last made our report on the happenings of the day. Charles Barrett took a journey to Fayettville and we trust he spent an enjoyable “week-end”. Dwight now rooms alone due to Charles Barrett now rooms with Herbert Good and J. D. Everett has left us. Ed Walker, one of our faithful supporters, has become a “printers devil” on the Printing Office. Vacations have begun but so far our building remains intact. We'll close and try to report more often. Over and out— — Herbert Good LAUNDRY Listen Folks- Since school is out for the sum- mer, we naturally spend most of our time working in the laundry. We don’t mind this though, be- cause we find much happiness in our work as well as in our play. We now have a new ‘washer, which helps make the work easier. This month we also have several new girls from other cottages who have come to live and work with us. They are catching on to the work fast, and we are fortunate to have them. Due to the summer vacations the: laundry will be short of help, but | with the full cooperation of every- one we have no doubt in our minds but that we will manage it. Recently visitors have come down to see our work, and they weren't disappointed. Come in any time to see us for you are cordial- ly invited. Look for our news next month. — The Laundry Girls RUMPLE HALL Hello Folks, Here we are again bringing you the cottage news. Everyone made their grade year except one person, ! and we hope that she will do better next year. Since the younger girls have} moved over we have twenty-eight | girls at our cottage. We hope they, will enjoy their stay here. All the girls are looking forward to their vacation. Nancy Jo Walker is leaving today and so are Louise Campbell, Kathleen Ellis, and Mary Lou Nunn who are going to con- ference. Our original matron, Lucille Smith, who has been with us for a few weeks has taken over the posi- tion of being assistant to another, Mrs. Smith, from Red Springs. The Smiths seem to have us under control here at Rumple Hall. (Girls, with two matrons we will have to start heing very good). We all are sorry to say this is the last month Miss McNeill will be here. We like her very much and we want to thank her for everything she has done for us. Mr. and Mrs. David Spencer are with us for a while and we like to play with their daughter, Jean. Well folks, we will have to say good-by until next month. — The Rumple Hall Girls JOHNSTON COTTAGE This is the first time you have heard from us in a long time, but we will try to let you hear from us more often. Everyone is happy now because vacations have started. We will lose one of our gang Wednesday and scon we will lose more of them until vacations are over. We have a new director here who helps us in our games. He has already helped us much in tennis and he will continue to help us much more. — Donald Mitchell SEWING ROOM Here’s the Sewing Room’s Atomic News letter, and I don't mean just a block buster either.

Since vacations has begun, we are keeping our heads at the ma- chines trying to get out dresses and athing suits in time for each girl to take with her on vacations It really keeps us on the go, be- lieve me. We are planning more entertain- ment this summer than ever before up here. Our thanks go to Mr. Jerry Newbold, who has contributed much toward this. He has been with us only a short time and he is already known and loved by everyone here. He has even made some of our worst “wallflowers” take an inter- est in athletics. Thats how good he is. When you have time, come up to the sewing room and see our nev curtains. We made them ourselves, with the help cf Mrs. Hudson, and they really are pretty. Three of our girls are leaving for their vacations this week. Hurry back! As for news of the girls, here goes: Jeanne McDonald, our “han- dy girl’ has already lost four pounds running errands for us. If you know Jeanne, thats a great loss. Helen Hawley said not to give away her secrets, so I don’t guess we can. Mary Anne Ryder turns a flip every evening when the mail comes. I know one boy who can make her do that. Billy Everette came to see Mar- garet and he really looked good. Now she’ll be getting letters from the U. S. Navy instead of State College. Miriam Huddleston and Willie Stinson have finally reunited, after so many months of feuding, it’s about time. Wonder why Myrtle has lost that certain sparkle in her eyes. Can it be that W.

Concerning the Once A_ | (Continued From Page One) treasurers say that they thought the Church was extending itself too much for Barium, and in many instances took measures to protect their Church and Sunday School | from what appeared to them to be Some of the friends with the best of intentions, we know, have prevailed on the Sunday Schools to discontinue the once a month col- lection for Barium, feeling that the giving to that source was too big in comparison to the giving to other Church causes. We contend that this is bad logic, bad psychology, and bad Church finance. We do not believe that there has been a single Sunday School which has discontinued the once a month collection but that some individual from that Sunday Schoo! has written us deploring the change. Many have sent in money direct which they would otherwise have contributed through the Sun- day Schoo]. In some instances there We want to congratulate Mary Adams on her graduating from Flora Mcdonald College, Sarah Parcell from Woman’s_ College, Greensboro and George Faison from Lenoir Rhyne College.

We really be- lieve that the generous giving to |the Orphanage instead of depriv- ing or impoverishing the other causes is an inspiration for the Sunday School and Church to give more to them. Let’s use some everyday illus- |trations, A farmer plants wheat, | corn, cotton, and a number of other | things. Suppose he makes a great success out of one crop and a very poor success out of the others, what would you advise him to do? To) try to build up his other crops to | / that good crop, or to cut down the |good crop so that all the other| crops would be on a par with it? | If your child came to you with his report card from school showing | a good mark on one subject and| very poor marks on the other sub- | jects, would you spend your time encouraging him to pull up his ‘poor marks to the good mark, or, would you insist that he cut down | his good mark to the level of the poor marks? Isn't this business of stopping | the Sunday School offering a good | |deal like telling the child to cut) down on his good mark to be on a par with his poor ones? We have been told from our very beginning in orphanage work 'that we had to keep the orphanage | and its needs before the public. | The organization of the Woman’s| Auxiliary, the Presbyterial and the Synodical, all stress this we have letters by the score asking us to tell them about Barium and its needs so that they can stress it in| the various organizations. We would certainly be considered dere- lict in our duty if we failed to keep the Auxiliaries and the other Church organizations informed. What is the purpose of this? Isn’t it to create a lively interest in our institution, to keep it on the hearts of our friends throughout the State, and ds a by-product to give them a chance to have a part in this work? Now, if this work in the Sunday son Lee of Morganton. Born to Jimmy and Lilly Beli (Smith) Dorton of Alemeda, Calif. on May 6th a son, James Richard Lee.

Little Mary Mauldin - back home now with he: parents and making friends jus: as fast and just as permanently as she did during her short s* at Barium Springs. She has a talking smile that says, “I like you and 1 know you are going to like me, so every- thing is all right.” School - which is one of the main agencies for instructing and in- forming our Church about the in- stitution - is wrong, should we cease to publicise, or is the Church saying to us by inference that “we will penalize you because you are doing well what the Church has instructed you to ’” Shall we sit still and simply : on the bud- get, saying nothing about our work and allow the money to come in as a percentage of the general bene- volent impulse of ovr Church? How! long would we or any other Church cause survive if we did that? We go to one Church Court and are told that if we don’t p ise we will starve; we go to another Church Court and see machinery in opera- tion which tells us just as plainly, if we do publicize we will be cut down. Let’s do a little sober thinking about this thing. Are the friends who oppose the once a month col- lection in the Sunday School, are they really afraid of Barium Springs? Can they recite anything in their experience where Barium Springs has taken one dollar out of the treasury of another cause? Can they prove that these Sunday School collections have in any way lessened the giving to any other cause? Can ihey find any member of the Church who complains about the opportunities to have themselves and their children con- tribute to Barium Springs once a month? It is said and believed by many that we don’t need to worry about the finances of an orphanage, that pecple will always take care of that. Well that belief has some- times caused the children here to go hungry. Money doesn’t just rain out of the clouds for Barium and | it takes a sustained system of giv- ing and of education to keep the flow of money to the level where it can do an adepuate job. The expenses of running an or- phanage have increased just like maintaining your home. There are many things that have to be paid for now which used to be given to us. Many things are required of us receive a certain amount of money or else you would get the scrubs. That children needed a certain amount of food, clothing, educa- tion, and health program, and all of this costs money, and that the | * . | Seneral practice over the entire nation had established a pretty accurate minimum below which mo institution dared fall and_ still claim to do a first-class job, The Presbyterians of North Carolina, if we know anything about them at all, will never be satisfied with anything but a first- class job, if they are kept inform- ed and their interest kept alive. The slow death of the Sunday School offering will bring about a slight decrease in revenue, but as the years go by it will mean a de- cided slackening of interest until the time may come when we will be forced to do a second-rate job, and nobody will mind it very much because they will have lost interest. This article started out to be a sort of a pep talk to keep going those Sunday Schools that may be now debating the wisdom of dis- continuing the monthly offering. Our plea is to consider seriously all the angles - consider what you would gain by it, if anythine and consider what you would lose in addition to what we would lose.

Hitherto the negro work of the Assembly has been under the direction of the Assembly’s Home Mission Com- mittee. A new Committee has now been constituted composed ef the following men: H. L. Gladney, J. McDowell Richards, M. Ray Dou- bles, W. L. Dansey, Frank C. Brown, Arch E, Taylor, W. J. Gipson, Hen- ry W. Mack, and Albert Kissling. This Committee jis to operate with a budget of $106,000.00, and with the expressed purpose of making the Stillman Institute a four-year college and with the Assembly proposing to raise a million dollars ‘for its support. The following are interesting statistics: In_ the Presbyterian Church seventeen Synods;_ eighty-seven Presbyteries; 2,623 Ministers; 3,524 Churches; 44 Ministers have died , during the past year; there are 19,270 Ruling Elders and 22,793 Deacons; there was added on by profession of faith last year 18,913 cate 28,502 members; the total number of Church meimbers now stands at 593,613; the total Sunday 423,012. in the United States there are members and added on by certifi- | School enrollment last year was | PAGE THREE ———— => The next meeting of the Assem- bly will be at Montreat, North Carclina, on May 29th, 1947. Flora Mcdonald College cele- brated its semi-centennial at the commencement season. Dr. Varaell, who founded the College fifty years ago Was on hand at this occasion. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. J. J. Murray, Dr. Vardell’s son-in-law, of Lexington, Virginia and the commencement address was delivered by Dr. Frank P. Graham, President of the Uni- versity of North Carolina. Diplo- mas were granted to 51 graduates. Among new Ministers recently received into the Synod are Dr. Sidney A. Gates, now pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Salisbury; Rev. Samuel M. Houck, Pastor of the Concord Church at Loray, North Carolina; Rev. M. J. McChesney, now pastor of the Tay- lorsville group of Churches; Rev. E. H. Clark, Pastor of Warsaw and Bowden Churches; Rev. J. M. Smith, Pastor of Faison, Clypso; and Sanford Churches, Rev. B. F. Brown, Pastor of Rockfish, Wil- lard, and Potts Memorial Churches; and Rev. W. B. Hood, Pastor of the Wallace Church, Pastor’s Paragraphs (Continued From Page One) ever.” As we drive through the country- | side, the wild flowers and luxur- iant greeness about us urge us to “consider the lilies of the field, how they grow.” Or as we “behold the fowls of the air” and listen to the joyous song of the birds, we are reminded that “your Heavenly Father feedeth them.” Nature is prolific with the promises of God's constant care for His own. Too often the anxieties of the business of living weigh heavily upon us, but out in God’s open spaces these fall away and we find rest at iast. Are you going to the woods this summer? The poet has described them as “green cathedrals” where trees “lift their leafy arms to pray.” Somehow to the soul that is alive the quietness of the forest brings ja feeling of the presence of God. | He is there, and in the stillness we }commune with Him. when life’s strain is heavy upon us, there is | no better antidote than a trip |alone into the woods. As the noise | of the outside world is left behind, its stresses also fall away. And there, alone with God, we find once more “the peace that passeth all understanding.” | “How great is His goodness, and | how great is His beauty!” Oh, that |we may see them and know them las we go out into our Father’s | world this summer. For then the beauty of the Lord our God shall be upon us and in us and shall shine forth from us unto others. i tw girl no longer marries a man for better or for worse.” | “Indeed!” “No; she marries him for more ‘or less.” ¢-— Barium Springs, N.

We told him the figures. according to our last report, ex- pecting criticism from him since our cost had gone up so material- ly in the last five years. Instead of that he made this statement, “Well, I am glad to know it. Be- cause any institution like yours that spends less than that figure is cheating somebody.” He elabor- ated on this much more than we will in this article.

Mrs. Beatty calling the meeting and making arrangements for the details. The program will be conferences vith the Orphanage Superinten- I dent Mr. J. B. Johnston, with the Treasurer, Rev. Robert S. Arro- wood; Miss Lulie E. Andrews, Clothing Secretary; Rev. F. B. Benton, Pastor of Little Joe’s Church and possibly other members of the staff. The ladies will also have an op- portunity to look over the grounds and visit the cottages and other buildings. They will have dinner with the children in the big dining room and see the various enter- prises of the home in operation. Before the war and the conse- quent restriction on travel such a delegation was quite the usual thing here as we had many groups visiting us from time to time. War practically eliminated such visits. The Home is poorer because of this because the con- tacts with the loyal people who so generously support the Home were very stimulating and helpful to all the children and workers here. This is to issue a cordial invita- tion to all our friends to emulate the example of the Orphanage Secretaries of Concord Presbytery and to come to see us. conditions THE HOME IN DANGER Enriched and improved in many ways and enjoying the highest standard of living and comfort in the world, the American home is nevertheless exposed to the grav- est of dangers in these post-war years. A recent booklet, “Temperance Begins in the Home,” written by Dr. Raymond A. Smith, of Greens- boro College, has just come to our attention. It is reprinted from The Christian Home, one of the publi- cations of the ‘Methodist Church, costs but fifteen cents a copy, and and may be ordered from the Meth- odist Publishing House, Fifth and Grace Streets, Richmond, Va. Dr. Smith has done an excellent piece of work, and the study of the prob- lem with which he deals is urgent. North Carolina Christen Advocate.

OLD MAN RIVER Kindergarten at Barium Springs Seventeen Years Ago Just as the last issue of our Mes- | senger left the press we received | the news of the death of our dear friend and fellow worker, Creasy Kinien Proctor, for many years the most efficient and lovable head of the Oxford Orphanage in Oxford, N. C. Eighteen years sgo Oxford had the misfortune to jose their super- intendent after a very brief illness. We who knew of the splendid work of Mr. Brown wondered where the Masonic Fraternity would turn to find a man to fill his place: it seem- eda hopeless task. Well, they found one in Mr. Proctor he took up where Mr. Brown left off and has made of the Oxford Orphanage one of the outstanding institutions of its kind in the nation. It was his lot to weather the years of the depres- sion; it was his lot to meet the vastly changed conditions of the second World War. He met these problems and crises in a quiet, ef- ficient, uncomplaining manner and from them emerged a stronger and better institution. We who have lived in the same generation with Mr. Proctor can This is the Kindergarten at Ba-| again this fall.

Most of re our boys are back from their va- cation and we are glad to see them back. Jack Jones took us to the show the other week and we enjoy- ed it very much, We have been picking black- berries and we enjoy the black- berry pie they made for us. Miss Ford went home for the week-end she came back she brought us back a lot of funnie books. We will go to camp July 29th and when and stay a week. — Tommy Scott HOWARD COTTAGE Our special topic for conversa- in this cottage at present is it vacations and we want to tell you something about it. Most of our girls have already gone somewhere for two weeks vacation. Martha Nell Hall, Elizabeth| Ann Huddleston and Phoebe Cock- ran went to Hickory Dockery camp. Martha Nell enjoys telling us a- bout how she fell off the pony. Mary Jane Andrews expects to go the 23rd to spend two weeks. While Margaret Hopkins was on vacation she went to the Atlan- tic Ocean. She brought several of us some shells for souvenirs. For recreation we have been go- ing in swimming most every day and sometimes Mr. Newbold takes us on a walk. Last Saturday he took us to Kesler’s bridge. We'll be seeing you next month. __ The Bean Stringers. BABY COTTAGE Hello There, It’s news time again, and here are the babies. Just let us know when you want to hear the latest, we know it all - or think we do. All fifteen of us went swimming this morning, more fun! We al- ways go the first of the week be- cause the water isn’t deep then. You should see little Jimmy jump off the side. And Charles can swim like a fish until he turns loose the hooks. Mrs. Nelson is in Montreat now “Nanner” Berryhill is taking her place and is almost always carrying an o’le wash rag around for our hands and ears. Miss Moles backs he~ yp with the comb and hair brush (We do hope she will continue to use the hair brush for our hair only). Ruth Shepherd is home from the hospital, and we’re so glad. Essie Jean Lee is our only vaca- tioner now. Won’t she be surprised to see our new sliding board? Oh, yes folks, we do have a new sliding board in our play pen. At first the newness of it kept us from sliding good. We’d stop right on the half way mark every time, but Ann Wilcox fixed that. She slicked it with bread paper and Johnson’s wax.

Bye now and come to see us. — The Babies ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends, So many of our group have been home or are going that we really don’t have much to tell you this time except that we want to thank each and everyone of you who have made our vacations possible. Now that vacations are over we ward to. Camp! We have a whole week down on the Catawba River and we just can’t wait until the 29th, We would like to thank someone for the magazines that were given to us. We don’t know who it was but we will thank them and may- be they will read the messenger this month. Hope you all had a pleasant 4th. We had a picnic supper and we had some extra special things. Thanks to our matron. We'll be seeing you next month. — The Annie Louise Girls LAUNDRY Hi Everybody, This is the laundry girls bring- ing you the news of the month. Most of the girls here now have been on their vacations, but there are still a few who have not been. Anne Wicker has just returned from the State’s Tourist Center, Pinehurst. Mary Morgan went to Rockingham, Bradley Jean went to Norfolk, Betty Lou Williams to Durham, Margaret Bullard to Kan- napclis and Mildred and Kathleen Monroe to Washington, D. C. We all had a wonderful time, but are glad to get back to work. Mrs. Neel, our matron, has not taken her vacation yet, but is leaving August 1st. We certainly are going to miss her. Right now the topic of conver- sation is our yearly trip to the river, We are all planning to have a good time. Well Folks this is all until next time. So long, Bradly Jean Manus Mildred Monroe SEWING ROOM Knowing that you enjoyed our Atomic news letter last month we somehow couldn’t let another Messenger slide through the press without making sure the news and gossip of the S. S. S. S. (Sit, Sew, Sweat and Spread) girls were in- cluded. Although most of the girls are on vacations there is still enough little bottoms hit the ground.

Most of our girls are back from their vacations now. We are planning to go to the skating rink Friday night if noth- thing happens. We are all looking forward to the camp which starts two weeks from Monday. We have been going in ming and having lots of fun. swim- 15th and we sure will miss her a great deal. We are going to have ice-cream for dinner and‘are going to have] chicken two times a week, yum! yum! We had better stop talking about food we might make you hungry. Well good-bye for this time. The Dish Washers THE WOMAN’S BUILDING Hello Folks, Quite a few things have happened since we wrote you last. Many of the girls are still on their vacation but they are returning every day. We really miss them while they are away, and will be glad when they all come bac! Our thoughts have now turned to camp which is only a few weeks off. Going to camp is always lots of fun and it is just another little vacation before school begins. Wish all of our friends could see our new recreation room. It’s really nice. Our upstairs living room just didn’t seem to get used, so to make it more attractive, it was decorated and furnished for games and recreation. One night each week we have open house for high school groups, including the boys, we really have lots of fun. One of the nicest things in way of equip- ment for the room is a lovely auto- matic record-player. We are really proud of that. Well, Folks that’s about all there is to tell for this time, but we'll be back next month with more news, so be sure to look for it. — The Woman’s Building Girls INFIRMARY Hello Folks, We are so happy to be back with you again this month. Vacations are almost over now and we are so happy that we all could go on a vacation. Annie Marie Andrews went to Manchester N. C., Elsie Vest went to Kanna- polis, they are back now. Vivian Jacumin went to Valdese, N. C., Haze] Creech went to Wilmington, the dozens and to keep everyone N. C. Betty MeMannen is going to MOTHERS AND JUVENILE DELINQUENCY It is no happy experience to re- flect that something has come over far too many of the mothers of this country to interfere with fundamental homemaking jand child training responsibilities. We ascribe it to the times and to the customs of this age and let it | their at that. These have for a fact, reacted upon moth- erhood with a pernicious impact. They have forced masses of wo- into go times and these customs the atmosphere of our world, and for this they are not to be censored. Economic pressures rather than personal inclinations have been in many of these cases the contriving as well as the controling factor. Even so, these are not the only nor perhaps the major, influences, which account for a sort of faded glory to be hanging around the heads of modern mothers. In the cases of all too many they have lost their old-time attachments to their paramount concern. The consequences of this deser- tion of the responsibilities of their own firesides are alarming, Upon what other factors in our modern men work-a-day life is the laxity in the morals of today’s youth to be led than at this point? The American home has within | late times become invaded by | various distracting influences | which tend to break it up and it is! the one human institution upon which through the ages the struc- rested, . . . . } temporary life, this ancient citadel | : of decency and Democracy, of right | and of character in our national bled. Excert for this wreckage which been made of the American home by whatever evil influxes you may care to designate, the nation’s standards of moral idealisms and} of spiritual understanding would has not today have had their flags dragged so humiliatingly in the dust. Mothers who are sentivive to their superior obligations to their children must have an awareness of their responsibilities for much of what has happened in this regard. In forgeting moments, multiply- ing into months and then into years, they have left their own throne seats in their homes and their children, leaving these latter to be brought up, trained and in- structed, guided and influenced by proxies. In North Carolina we have lately been shocked by some authentic findings as to the increase of de- linquency among juveniles in this state. These studies show that there Durham. We hope they will have a good time. We still go in swimming every- day. The swimming pool is a very good place to go when you are hot. Camp time is just around the corner. We sure do have a good time at camp and we are eagerly looking forward to camp time. We are having very few pa- tients now. And that is a great help, during vacation time since we have less girls. We are glad that everyone is feeling good. But when you do feel badly you are welcome to come. We had a pleasant week-end having Mrs. McNatt’s son, Charles and his wife visiting us. Betty McMannen had a visit from her Aunt and Uncle Sunday. We certainly are enjoying the radio which Mr. Johnston brought to us and we wish to Thank him very much, The apples this year are very good. has been an increase in mischeif- making and evil-doing among white children of 41 per cent during the 30-month period following the na- tion’s entry into the war. And here is the most desolating of all these statistics. White girls showed the highest rate of increase in delinquency, namely 46 per cent, If it is assumed that no one has a more contagious influence over the boys than the father, it must be equally true that no one has such a powerful influence over a jgirl as her mother, The above statistics are preach- ing our modern mothers some harsh | truths. — Charlotte Observer WHERE PERSONAL RES- PONSIBILITY BELONGS How Jesus would have scorned that limp sense of personal respon- sibility which forever lays blame for its moral failures upon the con- ditions where it finds itself! He drew a picture of a wayward, dis- obedient son coming back to his father’s house, not with an elo- quent indictment of the social and political conditions in that “far country” where he had gone pieces. This young man came back with this frank statement on his lips, “I have sinned. I am no more worthy to be called my father’s son.” Had he blamed his misfor- tunes on some political party, or upon the Anti-Saloon League, or a high protective tariff, or the profit motive, he would be in that far country yet.

People are told to say, “Create a better social order, O God, and renew right relations be- tween all these various classes of men.” We do need better conditions, political, industrial, social. But the better conditions will be created and maintained by better people. We are still compelled by the logic of events to go back and offer that basic petition, which has come down to us hallowed by the ages, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” If people generally were of- fering that prayer with sincerity of purpose, “all the kingdoms of this world,” business and politics, education, recreation, and the rest would be in a fair way to “become kingdoms of our God and of his Christ.” — Charles R. Brown WHAT KIND OF EVANGELISM By Richard L. Ownbey, D. D. Some leaders in Methodism seem to be greatly distressed by publish- ed figures showing results in num- bers from the Crusade for Christ emphasis on evangelism to date They ought not to be disappointed! How could any Methodist leader ever hope that we could have a chureh-wide revival of genuine evangelism by the hocuspocus of adroitlp organized ecclesiastical machinery with the “power” com- ing chiefly from episcopal, secre- tarial and general board pressures Surely none of us should be sur- prised at the failure thus far of a campaign for souls in which em- phasis on quotas and numbers and the like make it look strangely like another drive for the big money. What kind of evangelism is this? Is it a gesture of skeptcism of evangelism in Christian education -the only type of evangelism to which a liberal Methodism may look with any hope? Is it a resur- gence of the superficial, fundamen- talistic, “come to Christ” evange- lism that is more concerned about bringing people into “our church” than about indoctrinating them in the truths of real Christianity? — The Infirmary Girls (Continued On Page Three) _ JULY 1946 WHAT KIND OF EVANGELISM (Continued From Page Two) There is no Christian evangelism in that—it is an un-Christian mis— evangelization, and the pity of it is that our country is overflowing with it already in a hundred evan- gelical, non-liberal sects today. The Apestolic Overcoming Holy Church of God has had an increase of 664 per cent in membership in the past eighteen years. Are we Methodist looking enviously in the direction of that kind of evangelism? In eighteen years the Church of the has 183 per Nazarene increased cent in membership, and _ the Christian Congregational Evan- gelistic Association 2,033 per cent. be that Can it any intelligent Methodist is intrigued by the methods and type of religion pro- moted by these and other fastgrow- ing cults? God forbid! This special Crusade emphasis on evangelism began too soon. Be- fore such a campaign can succeed the Church must itself be evange- lized by being indoctrinated with a liberal interpretation of Christ- ianity and fired with zeal for the expansion of the Kingdom of God on earth. Half the Methodist in this country do not know what liberal Christianity is, and of the other half ninety per cent are not evan- gelistically minded. Most of them are interested in being “saved by the blood of Christ,” but have never had a serious intention of trying to live like Christ. What would we do with a million mem- bers of that sort uniting with our churches in 1946? Jesus began a revival in Judaism by teaching a new and spiritual interpretation of religion in an age of fossilized legalism. Martin Luth- er led a tremendous advance in Christianity by emphasis upon the spritual as against the ritualistic religion of the Roman Catholic Church. John Wesley and his co- workers, under God, evangelized organized Christianity in the eigh- teenth century, and Methodism was born. And now Methodism must be evingelized so that its thousands of congregations may become mighty forces for spiritual pro- duction instead of remaining fallow fields to plow in and weep over, but that kind of evangelism is not visioned in the set up of the pre- sent drive. To be sure some people seem naively to think that iz we could somehow get large numbers of unevangelized Methodists busy evangelizing others they them- selves might ultimately be evan- gelized! But by what kind of evan- gelism? Our churches go haltingly about the work of evangelism because their life is shot through with the spirit of secularism which imperils Receipts Continue to Show Increase In First Quarter We are glad to say that our first quarters’ receipts from the organizations of the churches con- tinues to increase. The following table gives the picture by Presby- teries. Five Presbyteries show an increase and four a decrease. These figures are not conclusive as they merely reflect what has come into our hands during that period. They do indicate that the church is mindful of the higher costs of caring for our children and are helping us meet that in- crease. 1946-47 1945-46 Increase or Presbytery April-June April-June decrease Albemarle $ 809.18 $ 718.60 +$ 90.58 Concord 2,209.83 1,780.36 + 519.57 Fayetteville 2,149.01 1,529.97 + 619.04 Granville 428.21 440.28 aan 38.07 Kings Mountain 1,351.77 1,253.46 + 98.31 Mecklenburg 1,960.85 2,416.62 — 455.77 Orange 1,319.84 1,444.12 — 124.28 Wilmington 797.55 640.29 + 157.26 Winston-Salem 498.72 594.72 — 96.00 TOTAL $11,524.96 $10,828.36 + $696.60 = the sensate society with which they are too elosely identified.

Because in things pertaining to the church mediocrity and cheapness are the accepted standard. Recently a highly competent science teacher in one of our south- western missionary colleges got her class interested in the produc- which had just been magnificently | ,, et | 45.4 that we may have a very a‘lequate | tural progress of himself and his }family. When shall we awake to | the fact that our minister is, and must be, a highly trainel profes- | sionial expert, with numerous special qualifications required of a pastor, yet we pay him as if he were a truck driver or less. We are cheap in our giving. At |a time of indescribable world need, iwith millions facing physical and | spiritual starvation, we Presbyter- ians give an average of 9.3 cents |per week to all Presbyterian be- | nevolences, including the wonder- ful work of our boards. And for icurrent church expenses we give cents. These figures reflect little real love for our religion or for our church. We ought to sup- port our church better or join an- other faith to which We can give more wholeheartedly. We Presbyterians have got to ltake the job of discipleship more seriously. We must awake to the \fact that our religion is the most ‘important thing in life—more im- | portant than our business, more important than our homes, more important than life itself. If we }once convince ourselves of these |things, Christ will get more than | pennies and nickles and dimes.

It was seldom that we had a good day. Then we commenced to experiment with having it earlier in the sea- son and it worked out so well that this year we are putting it on the Fourth of October. All of you alumni mark that date on your calendar - it is going to be a great day. We are going to have a big football game that day, too. For the first time in the history of things a Charlotte team is coming to Barium Springs to play - we have always gone to Charlotte for our games. Harding High will be the opponent and they have beat- en us the last couple of years. That won’t do, and we want the Home- coming crowd to help change that. There will be some brand new seats to sit on down at the football field and we will try to have every- thing else in apple-pie order. We hope the time will come when there will be too many alumni to accom- odate in our dining room and we will have to have an outdoor pic- nic dinner for them, That would be nice, too. That is the way Home- coming Days are usually handled at other institutions. Just to remind all of you alumni (Continued On Page Two) Successful Season At Camp Fellowship As the Messenger goes tu press the last of the Bariura Campers will have returned to the campus and the camping season for the children of the home will be over for this year. This has been a fine Camping Season with wonderful weather all summer. Only one rainy day put a stop to out door activities. During this summer there have been twelve groups using the Camping facilities. They were: Davidsen College Presbyterian Church, Two groups of | Concord Presbytery Young People, One * WVoun~= People from Winston-Salem Presbytery, a group of Methodi county, Methodists from Davidson county and West Jefferson, Meth- odists from Catawba county - Sub. district A, two groups of Hickory Methodists, Four H Clubs of Wilk- es county, and three groups from Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. Other groups will use the Camp on into September. Ir. Harry Barkley has been at and has as- charge of oro ‘ Zz oup ¢ sts from the camp all summer isted or has been in every group. He has been assisted water front and in the rec- reation by Ernest Stricklin and Pleas Norman, These young men have done an outstanding service at the camp this summer.

Benton SATISFIED- In Paul’s Letter to the Philip- pians we read a remarkable state- ment; “J have learned in whatso- ever state Iam, therewith to be content.” It is unusual to find one who can make that statement truthfully. Most people are dissat- isfied with their lot in life. We have only to stand on a busy street corner in some city and watch peo- ple pass to see dissatisfaction writ- ten in the great majority of faces. We have only to look about us at our own friends to find someone who has struggled all his life for some goal, only to find upon attain- ing it that it was not what he wanted after all. To be satisfied, that is the goal for which people really seek. In the sixteenth Psalm we have a beautiful picture of one who has learned the secret. There David gives us the key in a lively poem that has well been called “The Song of a Satisfied Soul.” He has learned, as Augustine said, that “Our souls are made for God, and they are restless until they rest in Him”. The first four verses of this Psalm are David’s confession of faith -- a statement of his belief in God. He recounts the power of God to preserve and protect, and the righteousness of God which de- lights in goodness and punishes evil, And David looks up at this Lord of the universe and writes “my” across Him. “Thou art my Lord.” If, as students of human nature tell us, we are and do what we be- lieve -- if our beliefs determine our character and actions -- then | such belief in God must orient life and give it purpose and direc- tion, It gives a sense of safety in a tumultous world for it enables us to say at all times, “My life is hid | with Christ in God.” God is man’s richest possession. It is good to sav, “I am thine, O Lord.” But life becomes complete only when we can add, “And thou art mine forever and forever.” The second four verses carry us another step toward satisfaction h life. They move from confes- sion to communion, and in them we find some soul-satisfying state- ments. “The Lord is the ion of my inheritance.” In cow his | riches, he names God as first and | ‘hiefest, “T will bless the Lord who | has given me counsel: -- oa use|’ We is at my right hand I shall not be moved.” Experience has ee kis beliefs with an unanswerable | proof that makes his sot 11 invulner -| able. j The richest possession that a| man can have is a true man’s best friend is God. No dis- ecntent is possible when we can} say, “He walks with me and He talks with me ne He tells me tha t | T am His own.’ | I like the story of the man who | called for a light that he might go| | ahead into the future. And the an- \swer came back, “You don’t need | that would combine the uses of the during the) 4 light; step out into the darkness | and put your hand into the hand of (Continued On Page Three) friend, and | jy | Jerry Newbold, Jr. | | s | | | An outstanding addition to our staff during the summer months has been Mr. Jerry Newbold, Jr., a studant from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. He has filled a need that has long been felt on our campus, serving as director of recreation for the children dur- ing the vacation period. From the first day that Mr. Newbold arrived he won the affec- tion of all through his sympathetic understanding ar’ his pleasant personality. He soon became known as the one person who always had time to stop and talk or play, and the children gathered around him in groups wherever he appeared. Under his supervision game equipment sprang up all over the campus. Horseshoes, tennis, bad- minton and other games have flourished through his leadership, and in the afternoons he could al- ways be found adding to the fun at (Continued On Page Four) Recreational Program Needed At Barium We carry in this month’s Mes- senger an article about the fine work done on our campus by Mr. Jerry Newbold.

Under their leadership each child prepared a notebook on the Gospel of Mark and made various articles such as dresser scarfs and model airplanes, A feature of the school was a watermelon cutting at the end of the first week. Needless to say, participation in this event was as enthusiastic as in everything else done in the school. On the last morning of the schoo] each department held open house to show the work that it had done. Many visitors came in to see the various things made by the boys and girls. Then all adjourned to the church for a program of songs and recitations in which the children demonstrated what ¢hey had learn- ed at the Bible School. Certificates were awarded to all who had at- tended regularly, and the program was closed with the benediction by the pastor.

Girls WOMEN’S BUILDING Hello Folks, This is none other than the young ladies of Barium Springs, bringing you the headlights of the month. Everyone has returned from vacations and a few have been to Camp. Today over half of our girls left for Camp so you can see we are mighty busy. The younger children started to Bible School this morning. We are proud to say that some of our girls were asked to help out a little. Our sitting room downstairs is beginning rapidly to take shape. We have been working on it all summer and it seems to be a great success, It isn’t long before we will be getting our books and rushing off to school. We have enjoyed the summer but are always glad for a change. We’ll be covered in books beginning the twenty-seventh of this month.

We have just gotten back from camp.We can not express what a wonderful time we had swimming in the river, going on boat rides etc. We have had only six patient: in the past month.

Our swimming season will soon close (much to our regret) because we must again take up our books and go back to school, but football season is coming around so we won’t mind missing swimming very much. Be sure you don’t miss any of our football games. Louise Campbell, one of our girls here at Rumple Hall is over to our next door sitiias “The Syned Cottage.” We will all miss her very much even the distance is short. We will be back again next month and so until then, Goox — The Rumple Hall Gir! SEWING ROOM We have been having a wonder- ful time at Camp Fellowship and we about let this month slip by without bringing you the latest gossip. However, here we are and we hope you enjoy reading about us. This is the first time we have worked in the sewing room in three weeks. We have worked in various other places on the campus because Mrs. Hudson’s son came home from Quam and she took a short vacation. When her vaca- tion ended, ours was just begin- ning. We all went to Camp the day she returned. It seems good to be running our machines again. Our school starts next Tuesday and since we are seniors we are real excited. Some of our girls are helping with Bible School this week. They seem to be doing a good job. As for the gossip about family, here goes: Mary Anne Ryder is always talking about spending her honey moon at Coney Island. How about that, Roscoe? The Fleet came in and it brought with it Maggie’s flame, Billy Ever- rett. He really looks sharp, Maggie. Myrtle and W. A. are still hit- .ting it. Myrtle is all smiles. Toni said that we didn’t have any gossip about her, but if you were here around 6:30 to 8:30 each night you’d find out different. When Mary Francis finds out Esau is coming she about runs us crazy. We see why though. Lee Vinson is trying to find a way to go to Greensboro. Is it be- cause Herbert McMasters is lo- cated there? There are only two things Han- nah Price talks about, Earl Adams and going ~o Mississippi. Jeanne McDonald said she was still here. She hasn’t faded away yet. Helen Hawley always gets twenty cents in her letters from Wilming- ton. Could it be that someone wants t or g going though l-bve. ANNIE LOUISE Hello Folks, Here we are again bringing you the latest news from Annie Louise Cottage. “School” - that word has been the most used word around here for the last month. We are all looking forward to next Tuesday. We have all had a nice vacation, swimming, playing, and helping string beans but we would rather go to school. This summer we have been very lucky to have Mr. Jerry Newbold of Wilmington here to help us keep entertained. Thanks a lot, Mr. New- bold, and remember us next sum- mer when you get out of school. The gate will be open to you. Also we want to thank Miss Ruth Trout- man for having the story hour twice a week. We really enjoyed it. It won’t be long before we put up our swim suits and put on shoes and that will suit us just fine. Be sure to read the latest news in The Messenger next month. — The Annie Louise Girls our THE PLUMBERS This is the debut of Plumbing group news.

The worth of the man is in the volume and the quality of the contents of his mind. Ideas are the creative forces in the world. Every act is the expression of a thought. Every invention was first an idea in some man’s mind. The mind moves the hand, sees through the eyes and hears through the ears. The mind sees, hears and acts. The mind is the man.

They’ve dressed us, the twenty- four tourists, in trench coats or coveralls, belts, miners’ hats, lamps and battery. First we see the engine room of the 4500 H. P. electric hoist that lowers and lifts miners and ore into and out of the mine. We are packed, seven to a eage, and lowered 3300 feet into - the “Worlds’ Richest Hill.” Our guide shows us how the mine is developed and each pocket filled after the valuable ore is taken out.

Hard thivking, high thinking. wrestling with great thoughts, | grappling with large ideas make for strength of character and worth ot character and worth of conduct and accomplishment, There is a constant interplay and inter-dependence between the moral] character of a man and the quality of his thinking. What the main thinks, that he is; what the man is, that he thinks, Thinking, character, conduct, these three, are one and indivisible, and the indiv- isible one is the human personality. This fact of the nature of per- sonal life means that the mind, its eontents and employment, has a vital, an essential place and part in the religious life, in determin- ing the character and directing the conduct of Christian people. Great thinking makes great Christians. There is no doubt about it; there is no other way. It is dif- ficult to understand how any man can be a Christian at all without being deeply stirred by great thoughts and moved to action by creative ideas. He must contem- Plate the greatest ideas the human mind can contemplate, ideas of the infinite and the eternal, the idea of God, of the immortal human spirit, of righteousness and truth, of measureless mercy and fathom- less love, of inescapable responsi- bility, and of judgement to come, of redemption and forgiveness of sin, of the Kingdom of God on earth and a heavenly home. He can’t read the New Testament or sit at the feet of Jesus without be- ing disturbed by great thoughts of the greatness of life or without getting some stirring glimpse at last of the limitless eternal infin- ite glory and grandeur of God’s thoughts for men. How can he who has had that ex- perience of thinking with Jesus, ever again think little things of himself or of any man, or doing little and mean things, or living a small, narrow, selfish life. Life surely has come to mean to him something large and wide and high. The human body is limited to the reach of the hands and eyes and ears, but to the Christian mind there are no boundaries, no hori- zons, no impassable barriers to its interest, its understanding, to its sympathy and compassion, to its outreached hands of service. — Baptist Courier {on those big comfortable Grey- | hounds, Well, I’m on my way!

These are good sandwiches they serve at our stop in Cherokee Indian Reservation, and I sense 2 pride in the bearing of these pretty Indian girls and the stalwart men and boys. The idea of stopping in Nash- ville, “hardly out of sight of home,” seemed a joke, but it gives me a good idea of how long a stretch I can stand and what clothing will be suitable and more comfortable for traveling. Just what could be the meaning of that well-dressed man’s low spoken suggestion that he has a car going to Memphis- “would the lady like a ride?” “No, I’m staying here,” (for a few hours, at least.) One does meet interesting people, especially these ex-service men with their varied reactions to civilian life; this boy, hardly “dry behind the ears” is evidently re- turning to camp and feeling very clever to have “got by” the bus driver with his bottle; this one has already had too much to drink and is quarrelsome and profane; he has served his country and can’t understand why any and all the girls don’t welcome his insistent attentions; this one came through still level headed and able to face readjustment at home. Now, southerner, this is St. Louis, Mo. and you'd better begin to accept the equality of races. And already, with Kansas City you think you’ve had enough of strangers and big cities! Kansas City is a shining example of civic pride.

As usual, I arrive here without hotel reservation, but my third call is successful so I’ll have a night’s sleep in a bed, at least. Note: Travel by Express bus whenever possible. Stopping at every small station to discharge and take on passengers gets very tiresome. They really keep people moving at this Cincinnati station, Even the maid sees that no traveler takes a nap in the lounge monopolizing a whole couch. Loafers and drunks are hustled out of the waiting room. How do these young mothers manage a bus trip with a babe in arms and two others scarcely older.

Softball games at twilight and other activities during the evening hours kept him busy and the children happier. At Camp Fellowship this month Mr. Newbold gave valuable assis- tance in directing games and in sponsoring tournaments and other programs. His campfires and ghost stories will long be remembered. In addition to his recreational activities, Mr. Newbold has made a valuable contribution to the re- ligious life at Barium Springs. He taught a Sunday School class dur- ing the summer, served as one of the department heads in our Vaca- tion Bible School, led the singing at out door vespers on Sunday even- ings, and supplied the pulpit of Little Joe’s Church several times in the absence of our pastor. The boys and girls here will not soon forget his vivid “first person” sermons and talks. Mr. Newbold came to us this summer because he is interested in going into full time orphanage work when he graduates from the seminary. He felt that this was the best chance for him to learn what orphanage life is like. We send him back to the seminary with the hope that we have benefited him as much as he has benefited us. We know that he is admirably suited to the work he has chosen, and we pray God’s blessing upon him in his further preparation. Recreational Program (Continued From Page One) home.

The enrollment showed that there were in attendance 380 re- presentatives of Churches. This is the largest attendance on record. The Retiring Moderator, Dr. J. A. Redhead, preached the opening sermon on the subject, “The King- dom of God is at Hand.” Dr. 0. C. Williamson, Pastor of Cooks Mem- orial Presbyterian Church was elected Moderator of this meeting and served most efficiently and acceptably. Rev. C. M. Gibbs was re-elected Stated Clerk of the Synod for a term of three years. Dr. J. O. Mann and Rev. R. K. Davenport were re-elected to the positions of Di- rector of Religious Education and Synod’s Evangelist respectively. Among important matters that were approved by the Synod was the authorizing of the rebuilding of the William Black Home at Montreat. This structure was burned during the past summer and was a total loss. The estima- ted cost of replacing it with an additional building is $50,000. The Synod approved that amount for the Home. The Synod also reap- proved the campaign for $100,000 for Presbyterian Junior College at Maxton. The Synod voted to establish a home for the aged in Greensboro and authorized a campaign for $300,000 to be used in building and in endowing this home - the cam- paign to begin October ist. Appli- cants of this home must have been Presbyterians for five years and must pay $500 on entrance plus $150.00 for burial fee. A benevolent budget for the year 1947-48 in amount of $880,- 000.00 was adopted. Benevolent gifts last year amounted to $982,- 055. Total gifts to Synod to cur- rent expenses and _ benevolences amounted to $2,571.068.00. Among the fine addresses that were heard by the Synod might (Continued On Page Two) —— ST BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C. Pastor’s Paragraph By Rev. F. B. Benton WAITING ON THE LORD In the fortieth chapter of Isaiah we find the prophet writing to a people who have difficult times ahead of them. He is imparting to them the secret of strength that he has found for his own life. As a climax at the end of the chapter come the words of promise: “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” I used to have the idea that he meant by “waiting upon the Lord” a pious folding of the hands and sitting back in serenity amidst the constant turmoil of life. Such may be possible for some people, but most of us are not constituted for serene inactivity. The method of “waiting upon the Lord” which it seems to me that Isaiah meant as a renewer of strength can be illustrated from an experience of my own college days. For three years it was my job to wait upon the faculty table in the college dining hall. There I was in constant touch, three times a day, with a number of my profes- sors. Each of them had definite likes and dislikes about his food, and I learned what they were. In time I came to take pride in serv- ing each one in just the way that would be pleasing to him. There was nothing degrading about such service; rather it won for me the most valuable friends that I made during my college years. The as- sociation swith those worthwhile men jn the intimacy of mealtime, hearing their conversation and learning to know them better than was possible in the class room a- lone, proved a real source of strength to me. In the same way those who “wait upon the Lord” by serving Him find added strength coming to them from their service. His servants will certainly seek to learn His likes and dislikes and to satisfy these in all their actions. They will study His words as they are given to us in the Scriptures for this pur- (Continued On Page Two) A Letter From the Vice-President of sale the Barium Alumni Association To The Alumni, Barium Springs Orphanage, Barium Springs, N. C. It is my information that three hundred letters haye been sent out to members of the Alumni, offering to each of them the privilege of contributing ten dollars to the Memorial Fund, and that only thirteen have responded. I am of the opinion that this is the result of carelessness on the part of the members, and does not represent any spirit of indifference, or ingratitude for the wonderful benefits each of us has received by the generosity of others in the past. Surely we cannot expect others actively to participate in this grand work if we fail, who so well know the wonderful hyork the Or- phanage has, and stil! is doing for those children who otherwise would not receive the educational advantages and Christian training so neces- sary to fit them for their proper place in our social and domestic world. Appreciating what we have, ourselves, received, and desiring to fur- ther the activities of the Orphanage in the upbuilding of character and fitness for citizenship, it is more of a privilege than a duty that the response to the request sent out be one hundred percent. Let’s all give to this effort our whole-hearted Support, not only with our sub- stance, but with all the moral support of which We are capable. What is really more important than the money itself, is the atten- dance of each member at Home-coming Day. This year let’s break all previous records for attendance and cooperation. Sincerely yours, MAUDE INMAN Vice-Pres.

He came as a teacher in our High Schoo! and as a coach in basketball, track and MR. R. G. CALHOUN football. A few years later he was promoted to principal of the school and continued to give great assis- tance to the athletic teams.

This contest was sponsor- ed for the purpose of securing a fitting name for our faithful ol’ dairy mule. First prize of $3.00 goes to Miss Vivian Jacumin for the name “Matilda” and for her original twenty-five word explana- tion as to why the mule should be given that name. Second prize of $1.50 goes to Miss Kathleen Ellis for her entry, “Caledonia;” while the third prize of two free show tickets goes to Mr. Edward Walker for his suggestion of “Boss.” The mule has been properly christened at the Christening Ceremony held in front of Rumple Hall in the pre- sence of the entire Home and henceforth she shall be known and loved as “Matilda.” She had been very ill at Davis Hos- pital for the past five weeks. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends. Born to Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Mor- row (Edith Powell} of Mooresville, en August 24, a daughter, Vicki Euleen. August 31, in Mt.

The game started out with a fair return of the kick-off, but Barium unable to gain and make a first down kicked: the ball was fumbled by the Mooresville safety man and Barium re- covered deep in Mooresville’s territory. It looked like things were go- ing Barium’s wey, but Barium was stopped just short of a first down within the ten-yard line. The ball went over and Mooresville kicked out and on this drive Barium scored. Here are the particulars of the score: it was third down and quite some distance to go - a forward pass was incomplete and then every- body seemed to take a good grip on their chewing gum and started another play. This was one of those long passes - Clark to Your g - which Young took on the ten-yard line and on over to score. The extra point which turned out to be the deciding point of the game was made by Dwight Spencer on a quarterback sneak. Shortly after this score the quarter ended and Mooresville had the downhill pull and it looked bad for Barium. Mooresville got to the six- yard line, first and goal to go but gave up the ball on downs. The defensive play of the Barium team was plenty good.

They frequent periods in the intimate conversa- tion of prayer. Their Lord’s wisdom will flow into their own lives, and they will naturally grow to be like Him as they learn what He is like. God’s waiters become His friends, and in His friendship there is strength for every need. The good waiter’s likes and de- sires are unimportant to his job. His one purpose is to please those whom he serves. He learns to say in all sincerity, “Thy will be done - - - by me.” The Christian who learns this attitude toward his Lord can cheerfully “deny himself and take up his cross” of service daily. Because he becomes but the expression of will, he is strong to meet every situation of life. God’s waiters. even in our twen- tieth century, can “mount up with wings as eagles.

The Synod changed the term of office of the Committee on Orph- ans’ Home so that those who are elected at the meeting of Synod in 1947 and subsequent Synods will take office at the end of that Church Year, and the ones whose terms expire will continue in of- fice until the end of the Church Year.

In spite of the fact that his work have exempted him from service, he felt that as a single man he should leave the teaching profession to married men. It was not until the time approached for his leaving that we fully realized the value of this man to the life of Barium Springs. The students themseives waked up to this fact as well as the grown ups. At the final Basket- ball banquet the players presented him with a trophy. It happened that he had lead this group of boys to three succes- sive championships in the South Piedmont Conference. It is tough to win that championship one time; it is almost unheard of to win it three times in a row. would Barium’s opponents in the South Piedmont attempted to explain the success of this team on mater- ial - that Barium just happened to have a bunch of good athletes all at one time, but when it was shown in their third championship year there were none of the players who participated in the first champion- ship year it knocked this argument rather high, so then a good many people said that Barium was just lucky - they had a rabbit’s foot. The players heard this so much that they decided to hunt for the rabbit’s foot and they finally de- cided that Mr. Calhoun was it, so they presented the trophy to the rabbit’s foot that had been giving them such good luck in their bas- ketball careers. By the way, it was at this pre- sentation which was a complete surprise to Mr. Calhoun that we saw him speechless for the first time.

A lot of love along the way: It takes a morning and a noon, A father’s voice, a mother’s croon; It takes some task to challenge all The powers that a man may call His own: the powers of mind and limb; A whispered word of love; a hymn Of hope—a comrade’s cheer— A baby’s laughter and a tear; It takes a dream, a hope, a cry Of need from some soul passing by; A sense of brotherhood and love; A purpose sent from God above; It takes a sunset in the sky, he stars of night, the winds that sigh; It takes a breath of scented air, A mother’s kiss, a baby’s prayer. That is what it takes to make a day: A lot of loving along the way. — William L. Stidger. KILLING THE PREACHER A church known to me once buried its pastor, and on the fol- lowing Sabbath held a memorial service in his honor, A large con- gregation overflowed the house. One speaker told of his worth as a preacher, another of his tender administrations as a pastor, others spoke of him as a citizen, Finally they called on me to speak. I said, “All you have said of my brother is true. He was a man out of the ordinary and gave his remarkable powers without stint or reserve to your service. But if you had while he was yet alive—filled these pews as you have today, and had said of him and to him what you have just said. he would not now be dead. Empty _ broke his heart, and did not know of the love of which you have just been speaking. He died for the lack of the things toda ry sO bez autifully said you have and done.” —L. O.

In the apple orchard, all during the year the fruit trees have been developing and maturing their fruit to bring it to ripened perfection. The most beautiful season in the orchard is in apple blossom time when the fragrant blooms are lovely to see. But the most satisfying time is when the trees are ladened with the red or golden apples, then all the care and work which have been spent to bring the fruit to perfection is repaid. This is the time too, “When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.” Or should we say the fodder is in the silo? That is less picturesque but more economical, Here at Presbyterian Orphans’ Home we are very grateful for a fine apple crop. We have had a very good year in regard to other crops too, for which we are thank- ful. We join the fellowship of all others in expressing to our God, the Giver of every good gift, “the thanksgiving of our hearts.” This is also a time of ingather- ing of the funds required to run this big Home for our many chil- dren with their multitude of needs. During more than half the year we do not receive enough funds to meet our needs, but this special offermg has for several years taken care of the amount needed. We have only to go back ten or more years to find a very differ- ent situation. Then the Home was in debt and not able to keep up (Continued On Page Two) The Paper Shortage Hits Presbyterian Orphans’ Home You will note that the paper on which this paper is printed is different from the kind we have been using. This was a_ special concession from the firm that sup- plies us. This company has been expecting a supply of paper for several months. If it does not soon arrive our next Messenger will have to revert to newsprint. You will note also that the paper on which our Thanksgiving leaf- let is printed is of lower quality. Also we have had to reduce the number of leaflets. There are one hundred thousand Presbyterians in North Carolina. We would like to print a leaflet for each one, but we a oo paper for 60,000. We hope t these will be so handled (Continued On Page Three) BARIUM SPRINGS, N.

Much credit for leadership in correcting this con- dition should go to a group of men in Albemarle Presbytery who led the way in organizing and_in- forming the churches of the needs and opportunities at Barium. So the present organization of the Synod was set up with a chair- man for the Synod, one for each presbytery and local chairman in each church. For many years this work was most efficiently led by Mr. J. A. Cannon of Concord, who is now president of the Board of Regents. The chairman of the the Synod now is Mr. C. Spears Hicks | of Durham, who has given of his time and talents most unsparingly. He is doing a fine job. Chairmen of Presbyteries are as follows: Albemarle, James G. Johnson; Concord, Richard E. Lackey; Fay- etteville, H. H. McKethan; Gran- ville, J. R. Webb; Kings Moun- tain, T. N. James; Mecklenburg, A. Ray Morrow; Orange, M. E. Yount; Wilmington, Wm. L. Mc- Intire; Winston-Salem, R. S. Halti- wanger. We are very grateful to these fine men for giving of their time and efforts. We know that they will receive a ready response from the churches of Synod and that this will be a time of ingater- ing for Presbyterian Orphans’ i Ir Rev. R. S. Arrowood, Treas..

You know, this thing cf being friendly and kind is catching. It is one of the most contagious things in the world and what some- body does one year inoculates some- body else and they do something special the next year. The ladies of Laurinburg, Hickory, Durham and al] around send us cakes. Dur- ing the last few years they have not been able to get sugar but they manage to get us cakes some way even though they don’t bake them themselves. Steele Creek Church has sent us chicken for our Thanks- giving dinner for so long that Thanksgiving would not be Thanks- giving without that fine gift. Then something else happened this year and if any of you Steele Creek folks read this don’t let it interfere with you for we have more than one Thanksgiving dinner. Here’s what happened. Every year we have as our guests the Civie clubs of Iredell County. They completely fill our dining-room and our din- ing-room is so big that you can hardly recognize a person from one end of it to the other and when its full of people putting away a big meal you may begin to wonder. where all the food comes from. Well, two of our neighbors in Statesville have been guests at these meetings for a good many years and they, no doubt, com- menced to wonder what miracle it was that put the food on the table. As it happens, they have been raising turkeys on the side this year and they have done well. Would we be stretching the thing to say that the Lord had blessed them in it? They are kindly folks and do many kind deeds in their regular line of business and have helped Barium Springs out of many a dilemma when it came to getting machinery, trucks, or trac- {Continued On Page Three) The Battle of. Iredell — Barium 12, Statesville 6 Elsewhere in this paper you will find an account of our football do- ings up to Friday, November 22nd. This take up the story from that time on. The doings of Iredell County in a football way have not been such as to cause any state-wide or na- tional talk. Only one Iredell County team seemed strong - that was Mooresville. Barium was lucky to win a one-point victory over this team early in the season. Later on Mooresville took Statesville apart, but the game between Barium and Statesville did not come along un- til near the end of the season. Both teams were just a little bit sensi- tive about their records: they had been pounded by so many teams that their victory columns requir- ed a microscope to read. So it all added yp to this that the only sat~- isfaction either team would get out of the season would be to take it out on the opponent in this par- ticular game. Barium has had a lot of limpers in all of its other games but the players were so eager for this game that they forgot to limp, or forgot the cause of their limp- ing. Statesville looked better than they had all season. A big crowd of enthusiastic rooters were out to see the game and the weather was per- fect. The bands did their stuff and the cheering sections did theirs The officials solemnly tossed a coin, the whistle blew and the e started. Barium threatened first, missed their chance, (Continued On Page Three) BARIUM SPRINGS, \. C NOVEMBER 1946 Youth Convention On World Missions The third Quadrennial Youth Convention on World Missions will be held In Nashville, Tennessee December 27-30, 1946. The conven- tion will be held in the War Mem- orial Auditorium in Nashville. The general theme will be “The World, the Gospel and Ycu”. Those who may attend are all young people of our church, ages 17-25 with che understanding that college, sem- inary, and training school stu- dents and members of Synod’s Young People Councils are eligible regardless of age. Delegates do not need to officially represent any particular group or organization or to hold any official position in a local youth organization. Each delegate is expected to pay his own transportation, all meals, and a registration fee of $3.00. The Nashville Committee will pro- vide room for each youth delegate. Delegates from our Presbytery should be able to attend the Con- vention at a cost of from forty to fifty dollars—Depending upon amount spent for food and trans- portation. The prognam will be built around the theme “The World, the Gospel, and You”, and will consist of wor- ship, addresses, reports of commis- sions, forums, and discussion in small groups. Among the speakers will be found such names as Dr. John A. Redhead, Dr. Walter Judd, Dr. C. Darley Fulton, Dr. John A. Mackay, Dr. Oscar Blackwelder, Miss Ruth Seabury, and others. Herbert Good and Lacille Strick- lin will represent Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at this convention. } j | Pastor’s Paragraph By Rev. F, B. Benton “I BELIEVE IN GOD” Recently here at Little Joe’s Church we have been making a series of studies on the Apostles’ Creed. By request of some of our members we want to summarize them in printed form and share {them with you through this para- graph during the next several months. From the earliest Christian times believers attempted to state the essence of their faith in short summaries or creeds. These were necessary even from the beginning as tests of membership in the church, Usually they followed the baptismal formula in the Great ‘Commission, being built around the “name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Ghost’. Early Christian documents show a slow evolution of statement until by the fifth century our so-called Apostles’ Creed had taken approx- imately its present form. Since then it has been the common creed of all Christians, The first article of the Creed opens with the simple statement, “T believe in God.” There is no at- tempt at proof of the existence of God, for the Creed like the Scrip- ture upon which it is based takes this for granted. The evidence is overwhelming, and to seek to prove it would be as foolish as at- tempting to prove that one has been born. The Bible opens with God already present and active and then proceeds to show what He is like and what He has done. The Creed follows a parallel course. Through the centuries atheism has had brief periods of fashion- ableness, but men have always come back to the truth taught by their very natures. Several years ago Dr. A. J. Cronin, an English physician and author or note, epi- tomized this ted wandering and return to faith of mankind in | an autobiographical Easter edi- torial entitled “Why I Believe in and then God”. He told of his early years Continued On Page Two) ( Huddleston Family We are printing this month the picture of our biggest family. Somehow Barium Springs always manages to have one family, and only one, of six children. The Hud- dleston’s have been holding this spot ever since the Smith’s abdi- cated this position. The head of the family is Miriam, a_ senior. Next is Ray, then Earl, then Rich- ard, then Elizabeth Ann, and the little one, Ralph. They did not all come to Barium at <.e time - the four older ones did and then Eliza- beth Ann. She happened to arrive here on Christmas Eve and her first impression of Barium was that Christmas morning explosion that takes place with most empha- sis in the Baby Cottage - she was a Baby Cottage youngster then. And then a little bit later Ralph came in.

Presbyterian Orphans’ Home And Special Offerings The administration of Presby- terian Orphans’ Home has had two letters in regard to the Thanksgiv- ing tabulations published in the Messenger calling attention to the fact that the two churches repre- sented, took ca f their responsi- bilities to the Presbyterian Orph- ans’ Home in otlicr ways than the. Thanksgiving Oifering; in one case through the regular church bud-| get, and in the other through in- creased Sunday School givings and that this tabulation which only showed the Thanksgiving Offering was not a fair indication of what they had done for the Home. The names of the two churches are: The First Church of Morganton and The First Church, Rockingham. We are glad to correct any mis- apprehension that may have been caused and publish below the total gifts to the home from all sources from these two churches. From First Church Morganton, year ending 1945, $512.78, year ending 1946, $474.41. From First Church Rockingham, year ending 1945, $485.48, year ending 1946, $472.45. There are doubtless some other churches of the Synod who give Football Season Drawing to a Close There hasn’t been one word said about football in the Messen- ger since the September and we have received § so many letters inquiring about what doing that we have to give this feature more space in this issue than we might otherwise have done. issue, is Up to now we have only report- ed the result of the Mooresville- Barium game played on the 20th of September, and that game re- sulted in a victory for Barium 7 - 6. Up until the time we write this article that game is the be- ginning and the ending of the var- sity’s victories for this season, but hold on a minute! The varsity still has two games to play and one of them will be reported pbrief- ly in this same paper - that is the game with Statesville. It will take place November 22nd and the Statesville papers are rating Ba- rium as the underdog. However this article is about the games which have alrea:ly been played and not about prophesies for the future. On Friday, Septeinber 28th, Al- bemarle played Bariun at Bariuzn. Right at this momen: Albemarle lis leading the conference, and for the first half of the game they certainly led Barium, getting 27 points in the first half. In the se- cond half, however, Barium not only held Albemar'te scoreless but scored 6 points herself, with tne game ending 27-6 in favor of Aibe- marle.

We are printing below two letters which should be of a great deal of interest to those of you who were at Barium in its early days. You will note that the writer admits that he was the boy who built the fire that overheaded the stove that probably set fire to the old hotel in which the orphanage was first housed. His second letter is in reply to a letter from Miss McDade, the president of the Al- umni Association, We would like to have more letters from you old- timers so that we can keep history straight. Some of you who did the washing tell about where you did it and how. The old spring has pretty well disappeared - that is the spring where you first did these things. Morganton, N. C. October 18, 1946 Dear Miss McDade: This being my 52nd anniversary ‘of my leaving Barium Springs, I thought it a good time to express my regret at not knowing of a re- union there until too late. I just returned to North Carolina after forty-one years living in other states, the last twenty-five in St. Louis, Mo., and I am completely out of touch with everything. I am wondering if it is possible anyone I | know ever go to reunions, or be- long to the Alumni. These may be strange names to you, but it would give me much pleasure to see Ja- cob, Jack, Jim or Rebecca Woods, John Sterling, Minnie Reynolds, Jennie Maiden, William or Tom Blaylock, Dan Carter, Julia or Ophelia Carter. I euuld go on nam- ing them, but some may not even be living now. I met one, Charles Daughtry, recently in Charlotte. He owns a business and is very prosperous. Incidently, he was the third boy admitted to the Home, and I was the fourth. I went through the big fire that destroy- ed the original building, in fact I was the culprit who made the fire that overheated the stove that burned the house down. The old trap went up like a stack of straw. But I had been scolded for not making a big enough fire to warm up the big dining room, which was used both for eating and for morn- (Continued On Page Two) Honor Roll for Six Weeks Ending Nov. 15 First Second Grade: Harriet Barkley, Nancy Lee Kyles.

You’ll never know how much we enjoyed it unless you could come and live with us and hear us talk. On November 11, at 3:30, Circle No. 2 of Mooresville met with us in our cottage. We put on a pro- gram for them and after that they had their business meeting. We really enjoyed seeing how big folks do things. They gave us a shower of fruit and each of us a nice coloring book and crayons. We have really been working on those coloring books every day after school.

BABY COTTAGE Since the last time we gave you the news we have become very in- terested in painting. When we grow up we want to be painters and paint all the cottages on the campus. That’s why we wouldn’t dare miss seeing the men paint the windows during quiet hour and we just keep the corner of one eye and all our ears open to learn everything. No, some of us aren’t sure that we can paint, so just in ease we can’t, we have practiced enough to take Mr. Johnston’s, Mr. Benton’s and Mr. Hethcox’s places. Of course you knew when Hal- loween came, for we blew horns to warn you. Just ask us and we can tell you all about “Black Beauty.” Mr. Grier took us to our see the tables. We'll soon be making Santa Claus. Until then - that’s all. Good bye and come to see us. —The Babies. ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Hello Folks, Here is the latest news from our cottage. We have really been doing a lot of things this month. First of all on Halloween night we hada big carnival and the spooks, oh my goodness! We weren’t really scared at all. The leaves have been beautiful and we have enjoyed raking them up very much. We get paid for each sack and we plan to use the money for our Christmas gifts to someone. ville to sing and they reported grand time.

Someone is giving us turkeys for our Thanksgiving din- ner. We have our last football game next Thursday and we hope to win. Then we will start basket ball. We have been raking up the leaves and they use them at the barn. We have filled 450 sacks. We went to the show this after- noon - saw Roy Rogers. We enjoy going to the show.

Right now some of the girls are cleaning the dining hall (and what a job) while the others are resting until our time comes (time marches on). We have completed another six ; weeks of school, our report cards looking much better than they did last time.

We really did like those Davidson games we saw this season, and we thank the friends from Scotts whe so kindly took us in their bus. Lucille Smith, our matron, had a visit from her brother and a friend, who are stationed at Fort a r e e +| Bragg. We liked their visit as “Lu” did.

To all of them we express our ap- preciation for their support in any way they choose to give it. We in no way wish to criticize or dictate the financial policy of any Church. That would not become an institu- tion supported by the generosity of the Church. Nor is it in the power of the Presbytery or the Synod to dictate.to the Church as. to how its money shall be designat- ed. It were well however to take a look at our finances that we may . =] see how dependent we are on the . * ¥ .

So each year the Synod has called on the Churches to make a generous recommended to the Sunday Schools a special offering once a month for the Home. In 1940 the budget of Synod re- commended that 9 per cent of be- nevolent gifts be allocated to the Home. In 1946 the Synod recom- mends that 7 per cent be given to the Home. sf Presbyteries have put the Home in the budget for the following percentages: Albemarle .... 5.5% Concord 6.5% Fayetteville % Granvils erie . 5.5% Kings Mountain ................ I % Mecklenburg ............. --.------- 4 % Oe cee ciseeree 6.5% Winmrien.....-.. ...... 6 % Winston-Salem .............------- 1 % So we see that six out of nine Presbyteries have reduced Synod’s budget for the Home sharply. The results of this policy is in-| dicated by the following receipts as shown in our report for the year ending March 31, 1946. From the regular budget $32, 020.19. Special Offerings from Sunday Schools and Auxiliaries $41,231.24. Thanksgiving Offering $80,073.08 Again we reiterate that we want always to give credit where credit is due and we appreciate every gift large or small given for this great work committed to us, the eare of dependent children.

I feel sure that was the fall of 1891, in November. I could almost write a history of those old days, but that is not my purpose. I would like to get more in touch with things, I would like to join the alumni if I am not a rank outsider to those who are in it, and if my joining can be to any good purpose. Let me know the requirements, and if “Our Fatherless Ones” is still published under that name. Reference in the Charlotte Ob- server to the “class of 1924” struck me as an indication of great pro- gress since the old days when we just went to school. Of course there were elementary and _ ad- vanced classes, but we just quit Pastor’s Paragraph (Continued From Page One) spent in an atmosphere of narrow secterian bickering which made him bitter toward religion, and of his medical education which left him a confirmed atheist. Then, he he says, he began his practice at a charity hospital in a city slum area. There he soon had his first experience with death, and was puzzled by an acute consciousness of the departure of something at the moment his patient expired. He laughed when older doctors told him that this was the flight of the soul, but he could offer no other explanation. Years went by, and repeatedly the young doctor was puzzled upon noticing people involuntarily break into prayer in times of crisis. Still more he was puzzled to see some of his patients come back from the very brink of death, apparently in answer to prayer. Finally came the great crisis in his own life, his wife’s illness. For days she lingered be- tween life and death. Afterwards his friends told him that during those days he had walked the streets of his neighborhood talk- ing to himself. But he knew that in the hour of his extremity he, like so many others, had turned to God for help. At last emotion so powerful as to overrule his reason had opened his life to the eviden- ces of his own nature, and he had found God. The Apostles’ Creed uses two terms to describe God, only two out of all those that might well have been chosen. But these two, “Father” and “Almighty”, gives us the essential picture. In the Godhead the Father is planner and architect of our salvation. In His relation to men He is Father in the fullest and best sense of all that name implies. As our Creator He is responsible for our being, and His infinite love makes that responsibility a delight to Him. “Father” is a name which makes it possible for us to understand the showers of good gifts which He sends down upon ws, and en- ables us to trust Him even in the valley of the shadow of death. ter way of teaching the goodness Even Jesus could think of no bet- and love of God than to call Him “Our Father”. The second descriptive term, “Almighty”, gives us assurance that God is able to do all the good which His being our Father makes He wills ‘only that ‘which is good; and as the Almighty “He can do all His holy will”. Thus He created the urtfiverse by the word of His power; thus He laughs to scorn the puny efforts of evil men to flout His will, and thus’ He gath- sASERT W2. . we spat Him desire for us. As a Father|, when the time came, no class of this or that year or time. Respectfully, | T. M. ALEXANDER Box 252 Morganton, N. C. Morganton, N. C. October 28, 1946 Dear Miss McDade: I thank you for your nice letter, and assure you I am interested in the matters mentioned and will act upon them. I am enclosing a clipping I took from the Observer which will explain the reference to the class of 1924. It was by this story I learned there had been a home- coming, and gave me enough in- formation to start getting ac- quainted with the new Barium. Being a teacher, you may be interested in knowing I have a son (my youngest child) who is a teacher in the St. Louis public schools. He is right now dividing his time between university work and his teaching job. He will get his master’s degree next June. He had his B. A. before going in- to the Army and the Army sent him to University of Alabama and Carnegie Tech for nine months - eight of them at Carnegie. He is already a member of two honor- ary scholastic fraternities at the age of 26. His thesis for his mas- ter’s degree was a masterpiece, and I feel it had more to do with the invitations by these fraterni- ties than his class work, which was high. You will understand it is a father’s pride which calls this forth. I want to add he served overseas - landed in Normandy a short while after the original in- vasion. Sincerely yours, T. M.

That was a red-hot game with Harding showing much superiority in the first half and scoring a touchdown. In the second half Barium played great defen- sive ball and managed to score a touchdown herself and the final score was 7-7 - a wonderful game that left the spectators thrilled. On October 11th Barium went to Concord and the game there was rather one-sided. Barium 7, Con- cord 35, with Concord getting stronger all through the game, The score at the half was 7-14. Then on October 18th we went to Lexington. This was the ‘first game in which Barium was held scoreless, the final score being Lexington 25, Barium 06. ‘That game ~9s probably the turning point for Lexington; from that time on she has been a real contender for top honors, and this week will try conelusions with Albemarle for the conference championship. On October 25th, Barium had a most delightful game with the Davidson B team and the final score was Davidson 19-Barium 6. Davidson did all of their scoring in the first half and Barium did her scoring in the last three min- utes - an interesting game. On November 1st Morganton came to Barium. Morganton is the undefeated leader of the Western Conference and appeared to be the best team that has visited Barium Springs this year. The final score was Morganton 39-Barium 6. On November 8th Barium entertained Salisbury and Salisbury played a grand game defeating Barium 12- 0. Both teams looked good, with Salisbury packing a little more punch. On the night of November 14th, Barium journeyed to Wins- ton-Salem for the annual contest with the Children’s Home. Barium was crippled up with more players not able to play their usual bang- up game than in any game during the season. The Children’s Home was at their best nd the final score was Children’s Home 42- Barium 0. And that brings us up to the eve of the Statesville- Ba- rium game, and on Thanksgiving day Barium will wind up her var- sity season entertaining Thomas- ville. Now, a word about the Midgets. On Saturday, September 28th, our 85-pound team opened its season at Winston-Salem, losing to the Children’s Home 13-0. The 100- pound team losing the same day to the Children’s Home 34-0. On the following Saturday, October 5th, the 85-pound team lost to Con- cord 6-0; the 100-pound team lost to Concord 7-0. The B team lost to Concord 25-0. On Monday, October 14th, the 115-pound team defeated Cramerton 13-0. This team was or- ganized to meet the conditions of the Cramerton team with the main part of the team being hundred pounders with about three players from the lighter 125 pound boys. This is Cramerton’s first year in midget ball and they are a great bunch of kids. On Monday, October 21st, the B team was defeated by Statesville 26-0 at Statesville. On October 26th Children’s Home mid- get teams came to Barium and the pound game resulted in a tie. The 100-pound team - Children’s Home 33 - Barium 6. On Monday, October 28th, the B team played Jackson Training School at Con- cord, defeating them 12-0. On Sat- urday, November 2nd, Morganton’s 100-pound team came to Barium and was defeated by Barium 48-0. This was the only revenge we had for the defeat by them of our var- sity 39-6, On November 4th our B team defeated Statesville 7-6. On Armistice’ Day night ‘our 115- pound team journeyed to Cramer- ton and in a most interesting game defeated them 7-0. This was the rhe ; first time this year that any of our midget team played a night game. On Saturday, November 17 th, we had our return three games: with Concord at Concord - remem- ber Barium lost all three of these games when they were played at Barium and won all three when they played at Concord. The 125- pound team started off the fire- works by defeating Concord 24-13. The 100-pound team defeated Con- cord 13-0, and the 85-pound de- feated Concord 6-0. One most de- lightful feature of this game was what happened right afterwards. When the Concord boys came to Barium we furnished them with apples and the boys liked them so well that some of the boys suggest- ed our bringing apples along when we went to Concord to play them there. Some of the little Concord kids even went so far as to say : we would bring some apples they would bring some lunches. Well, that is the way it worked out. Our team took about four bushels of apples and the Concord boys brought about four bushels of lunches, and after all three games had been played all these teams pitched to find out who was really the champion eater and it ended up in an all-around tie with the complete disappearance of every apple and every lunch but about cne hundred thoroughly satisfied boys. There are still three games on the midget schedule. The 100-b. team plays Jackson Training School and then journeys to Mor- ganton on next Tuesday, and then a final game with Davidson high schoo! midgets Friday after Thanksgiving. We will try to stick the results of these games in some where. Then on Friday, December 6th there will be a banquet and we can chew the fat and have a lot of fun re-playing all of our games. We wish you could all be there at the banquet to help ys re-enjoy our season, The list of victories is mighty slim but there has been some he- roic stands and some brilliant play- ing nevertheless, and while we are not up at the top where we usually roost we are still in the league and raring for next year’s contest to begin. We will be seeing you. Alumni News (Continued From Page One) home in Mt. Airy. Horace Denton spent the week- end at Barium. He is a Paratrooper and at present is at Fort Bragg.

Well, these folks decided to furnish the meat course for one of those Thanksgiving dinners, and it is going to be Turkey. Now, here is the plan. On Thursday, Thanks- giving Day, will be Steele Creek day and everybody will eat that dinner except the football boys. They have to play a game that afternoon so their chicken will be saved until after the game, and then on Sunday when the football boys and everybo’y else can for- get training and relax, we will then absorb those turkeys. If any- body visits us that Sunday after- noon, please pardon us if we are a trifle sleepy. We are going to stay awake through Sunday School and Church and then we are going to do justice to that dinner and then we are going to relax and digest and think of what good friends we have. We will bet you that everyone who eats of those chickens and those turkeys will catch that pre- valent disease of being kind to folks and it will spread up and down and sideways until it takes in all the people at Barium, those who visit Barium and those who love Barium and that’s a lot of folks. That is just a few of the things that will happen to us Thanks- giving week, thanks to you. The Battle of Iredell (Continued From Page One) Statesville threatened and made good and the score was 6-0 in favor Statesville. After that it just look- ed like anything could happen. Statesville tried a forward pass; it was intercepted by Dwight Spen- cer who took it to about the four yard line and from there Jack Clark carried over for the first touch- down - the score 6-6, and the first half nearly over. Barium kicked off and after an exchange of punts tried a little passing and one pass carried to the five yard line and from there again Jack Clark went over for the second touchdown, the score 12-6, and that is where it stayed all through the second half. Barium threatened and then States- ville threatened, but neither threat- ened hard enough, In listening to the comments of the people who watched the game, we overheard these remarks: “That Jack Clark is certainly hot tonight: his passing, his running, and his kicking are right up to snuff.” “That Jerry Young and Charlie Barrett are certainly playing one bang-up defensive game. They are stopping those end runs like no- body’s business.” “Benny Gregory is certainly calling a good game and carrying out his assignments whether it is carrying the ball or blocking. He looks like a million dollars.” “That Jack Mangum is playing his best game. When he} was called on to kick during Jack Clark’s absence from the game he got off a kick that staved off a Statesville threat.” “That Jimmy Williams playing his first entire game as center is certainly stop- ping those passing threats.” “Ken- neth Baker is really demonstrating what football he has learned this fall: that boy is really playing a grand game.” “Herbert Good is just like his name sounds: tonight he is really good.” “Earl Allen has been playing 2 good game every game and is just as good tonight, but you can’t tell it because those other boys are playing right along beside him.” An s6 on, and so on, until every man who played or| substituted was mentioned. We hate | to admit how small some of the substitutes were who went into that game. All in all it was a pleasant even- ing. The Statesville folks did not rected by David Walter Morris!

DECEMBER 1946 No. 2 Our Christmas Tree This story has to be written just before the event happens. Report- ers do this lots of times without admitting it. We are admitting it but we know we are going to have such a big time that it won’t hurt to tell the story before it happens. On Wednesday night, December 18th, Barium Springs will have her big “Give-to” Christmas tree. The affair will start at six o’clock. All of the children of the Orphanage and of the neighborhood will be pre- sent. We will eat a little, sing a lot, and do a lot. When the affair starts there will be a Christmas Deceased MRS. S. A. GRIER The angels came and took her home, With the setting of the sun she went from us into the presence of her Savior. On December 1, 1916, Mr. and Mrs. Grier came to live at Barium and since that day many, many boys and girls have found in them the sweet forbearance and under- standing and strength that seemed lost to them with the loss of their own parents. Her own went in infancy to be with that holy, happy band of child- ren around the throne of God in heaven, and so Mrs. Grier gave a mother’s love unstintingly and without bitterness to the children of others. For many years she was the beloved teacher of the begin- ners in Sunday School. To her neighbors, the babies and the little girls at Howard Cottage, she was a ray of sunshine passing by and going in and out amongst them, never too hurried to listen to their ; ! small troubles or to be happy with them in their triumphs. To the older boys and girls she was an ideal of unselfishness and Christian faith. Her greatest joy was their trust and confidence, and many of us can recall how her in- terest and sympathy stood by us through the difficult times. Mrs. (Continued On Page Two) tree in the middle of the dining room with no decoration whatever on it. There will be a bowl on a table and a box full of decorations - that’s at the beginning of the meal. An hour later the tree will be highly decorated with some four hundred decorations. The box of decorations will be empty. The bowl will be pretty full of contri- butions. We will sing Christmas carols and just have a whopping big time. As each child leaves the dining room he will have a bag of apples, nuts and candy, - just a foretaste of the good things ahead for the next ten days, and they will also have a nice warm feeling in their hearts in having done some- thing for other people first before enjoying the many things which people do for us. The gift this year is going to the Home for the Aged - that new cause which t he Presbyterian Church so heartily endorsed at the last meeting of the Synod. We hope that the people receiving money for this cause will be the busiest people in North Carolina during these Christmas days. There are many people anxious about this enterprise. They are wondering if this home can be built in time to help them. They are peo- ple who just a few years ago were vigorous, helpful people who help- ed ali of our church causes to func- tion. Now they need help and time is running out on some of them. It is the prayers of every contributor to our “Give-to” Christmas tree that our mites may be added to the dollars to quickly furnish a haven (Continued On Page Two) Pastor’s Paragraph By Rev. F. B. Benton | | “I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST” This article is being written at the beginning of the Christmas season, and certainly there could be no fitter subject than » second article of our Apos: Creed. Last month we thought together of the first article, ‘I believe in God the Father Almighty”, and now we come to the statement of that which Christians believe about Christ. It is the longest and most important section of the Creed. “T believe in - Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pon- tius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Al- mighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.” This section of the Creed empha- humanity of Christ and presents Him to us as our Lord and Savior. The opening words, “Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord”, present to us a livine Being, He is Ged’s Son in a way that no mere man could ever be. The human mind can never understand the mystery of the Trinity, but someone has given us | the work of salvation. The Father is the architect who conceived the plan, and the Son is the contractor who actually builds the structure. He is the executor of the plan of God for our salvation. Christ is also our Lord. The dic- tionary defines “Lord” as “one who has power and authority, a master, proprietor, ruler’. And when we use the Creed we own Christ as all these things to us. We | belong to Him, for “you are not, your own; you were bought with’ a price”. And that price was His! own precious blood. Christ is our Lord and also the Lord of all crea- tion. He is our King and the King of the universe whom the Father (Continued On Page Two) Barium Springs is not a large high school. Sometimes we run as high as 115 students, then some- times as low as 70. We are down on the low end right now, and that makes this story all the more un- usual. It is a rare thing when a oe Scout receives the Eagle Award and becomes an Eagle Scout. It is some- thing for the boy to remember “as his life and something for his com- lie senesdeceoen munity to be proud of. Well, on Friday, December 6th, there were three students of the Barium High School who received this Eagle Award. The ceremonies were held at Barium Springs in the high school auditorium. The boys did not all belong to the same Scout Troop. Dwight Spencer, a senior at Ba- rium, was a member of the Barium Troop, Reverend F. B. Benton, Scoutmaster. Buddy and Ricky Lip- Given Scouting’s Highest Award — The Eagle Badge | | } pard are also students of the Ba- rium High School but are members of the Troutman Boy Scouts and they were the other two who re- ceived this award. There was a Statesville boy, Duke Fowler, making four alto-| gether to be honored and to honor our community on that occasion.

The great work of God is| | that row. except one saw service. Winter Sports The last issue of the Messenger told the story of our football sea- son up through the Statesville game, and al! that remains to be told in this issue is the story of the final varsity game and four mid- get games and then the biggest event of all - the banquet. First about the varsity windup. This final game was played on Thanksgiving Day at Barium. Themasville was the team furnish- ing the opposition and some of you may remember that it was Thomas- ville who spoiled the end of our season last year. Last year we were leading Thomasville by one point until the last few minutes of the game when they scored. This year our team started out like they were meaning business and scored two touchdowns in the first half, but did rot complete the point after (Continued On Page Two) Alumni News ae Jack Jones is in the Navy and is stationed at Bainbridge, Md.

The next words in this article of | the Creed emphasize how Christ! became man. They recognize His preexistence, for as Brother Bryan of Birmingham used to say, “He was the only man who ever lived before he was born”. The eternal , Son of God became man, not by natural generation, but through the work and power of the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary. His miraculous birth fulfilled the pro- phecies given long before to en- able men to recognize Him, and kept Him free from the guilt of Adam which corrupts all born in ordinary manner.

T took our sins paid the penalty which God de- mands for every sin. And by bear- ing our sin He became the means of our forgiveness and reconcilia- tion to God. Being complete man He could represent us, and being complete God He was a worthy sacrifice. Here is the very core of the Christian’s belief about Christ. But our belief in Christ does not end with His death. “The third day He rose again from the dead.” That is the final proof of His Messiah- ship and divinity; and there is our assurance that the penalty for sin has been paid in full. Death, sin’s consequence, has been conquered. Believers are assurred of deliver- ance from its clutches through Christ. And Christ is alive forevermore. “He ascended into heaven.” Heaven is not the dwelling place of the dead, but of the living. The ascen- sion was the final consummation of the glory of Christ and the final mark of His love, for He has said, “I go to prepare a place for you.” In heaven He sits today at the right hand of the Father, having carried humanity to the very throne of the universe. There His wounds make .constant intercession for us and give assurance that He will be heard for our salvation. The last part of this article of the Creed concerns the work of upon { | low, Lugene White, Leila John- ‘ston, Linda Culp. Christ at the end of the world: | “From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead”. We today have little to say on the sub- Jeet of a final judgement, but the Creed is clear. Judgement will come to all, and the same Christ who offers Himself as Savior will then judge every man. On that day those who have accepted Him will hear His “Come, thou blessed of my Father, and inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the founda- tion of the world”. And on that day those who have rejected Him will find themselves rejected. Then the Son having put all enemies under His feet, He shall reign forever and ever. Then every kingly prophecy concerning Him will be fulfilled. The Apostles’ Creed thus gives us a strong statement of the essen- tial Christian beliefs about Him who is Head of the church and Sav- ior of all who call upon Him. It allows us to disagree upon many such minor points as the mode of His baptism, the manner in which He worked His miracles, and the various theories as to how His death accomplished its saving work. But the essentials which it does give are those upon which all Christians must agree. The Creed is still as good a test of a man’s Christianity as it was in the first century. All.who can say sincerely, “I believe in Jesus Christ - ”, can be welcomed into the family of Christians as brothers, Mrs. S. A.

Winter Sports (Continued From Page One) touchdown in either case. One of those touchdowns, by the way, was made by a 65-yard run by Jack Clark. It was a beauty. It seemed that somebody stepped on one of Jack’s toes early in the game and as it turned out it was broken, but he did not know anything about this when he started on that run and he made that run with just nine working toes. There is no tell- ing what that boy could do with a couple of more broken toes. Any- how he went ahead and finished the game jn fairly good shape, but the next day his foot was a mess. Our boys thought that the game was sewed up at the half but Thomasville didn’t think so and they came back in the second half and clearly outplayed Barium scoring 7 points and threatening again, but the final score ended 12- 7 in favor of Barium which gives us three conference wins and four losses and puts ys at the head of the second division of the confer- ence. While the varsity was finishing up this last chore the midgets on Tuesday Nov. 26 journeyed to Mor- ganton - the 100-pounders and played a gnand game there defeat- ing Morganton 21-0. Then on the 29th they took on a brand new team from Davidson. This team did not have very much equipment and it had to borrow a good many helmets from us but they knew their feot- ball and played on even terms with Barium during the entire first half. In the second half, however, Barium really got serious and ran up 21) points. The final score was Barium 21 - Davidson 0. In the return game on Wednesday, December 4th, Ba- rium defeated Davidson 7-0. This game was played on Richardson field and a good many Davidson students came out to get their final football meal - they seemed to enjoy the game. The Jackson Training School 100-pounders came over on Thurs- day, November 21st, and the final score was Barium 12 - Jackson Training School 6. Jackson Train- ing School’s team has one boy on it who is mighty hard to stop; when he really put his mind on it the Ba- rium team could not stop him and that is the reason why they scored 6 points. All in all, our midgets Season was enjoyable. We started off slow but ended up good. On Thursday night, December 5th, we had our football banquet. Mr. Calhoun presided and that means that it had to be good. The meal was different and the guests were different. For the first time in a number of years no outside guests were jnvited - just 160 foot- ball players and friends right here at Barium. A home raised Barium hog furnished the barbecue meal with a little ice cream and cake to —_—- top it off. Letters were awarded as follows: 85 LB. TEAM (B. 8.)

V.’s which was a combination of 125 pounders and B teamers and Mr. J. B. John- ston the varsity letters. Earl Allen was elected the team captain and was also voted the best tackler. Jerry Young was voted the best blocker, Dwight Spencer was voted the most valuable player. Our Banquet was moved up to Thursday night to leave Friday night clear for the Scout Court of Honor. You will read about that elsewhere in this paper. That, of course, winds up this year’s foot- ball schedule but it does not end the duties of those who have to do with football - schedule meetings and such. On Thursday, December 12th, the coaches and principals of the South Piedmont Conference met at Ba- rium Springs. All afternoon and in to the night they chewed the rag and chewed apples, taking time off at six to chew some more durable rations in the Barium dining room, and when it was all over they had selected their all-conference team, which is as follows: Ends — Klutz, Concord; Angell, Children’s Home. Tackles — Walsen, Lexington; King, Children’s Home. Guards — Alexander, Moores- ville (Captain); Allen, Barium. Center — Bowles, Mooresville; Back — Thompson, Albemarle; Singleton, Mooresville; Poole, Children’s Home; Lefler, Albe- marle. You will note that a Barium boy is on this team for his second year. We received a new member into the conference and reinstated an old one. North Wilkesboro was the new member; Mills Home was the old one. Schedules were arranged in football, basketball, and baseball, and here is Barium’s football sched- ule for next fall; Sept. 19th — Mooresville at Ba- rium.
