Barium Messenger, 1947
Barium Messenger Vol. 24 A Revival of the Student Conference A number of years ago an idea was suggested by the Children’s Home of Winston-Salem - it was to have meetings twice a year of selected students from several of the larger institutions. Eventually five institutions participated. The Children’s Home, The Mills Home, The Lexington Junior Order, The Hughes Memorial School of Dan- ville, Va., and Barium Springs. The war came along and broke into this conference as it did so many other gatherings and now all of the students who ever participated in this conference have graduated and moved out. The Beta Club at Barium is at- tempting to revive this conference and has issued invitations to the Orphanages that participated be- fore and to the Raleigh Methodist Orphanage and the Oxford Ma- sonic Orphanage, too. Their invi- tation is to meet at Barium the lat- ter part of March - March 27th to 29th to be exact, and it is hoped that this will again become a go- ing concern to carry on the good work started by the original con- ference. If these other institutions accept the invitation more detailed description of the program and plans will be in the next issue of The Messenger. Alumni News We would like to take this op- portunity to wish for each of you a very Happy New Year and to tell you that we appreciated the Christmas greetings very much. We wish that we could acknowlege each one. Elizabeth Langly is now Mrs. M. D. O. Parker, 311 Jones St. Ra- leigh, N. C. Charles Starling, a student at the University of North Carolina, was a visitor at Barium during the holidays. We were happy to have many of our boys home for the holidays, Rufus Long, Paul Horne, Ernest Stricklin, Amos Hardy, students at Davidson College; George and Ray Lewis, David Burney, Univer- sity of North Carolina, Beulah and Bennett Baldwin of Whiteville were visitors at Barium at Christmas. We had a Christmas card from Mr. & Mrs. Henry Alessandrini, but no address and no particulars. Elaine Faircloth is married but we have no other information. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ziegler on December 16th a daughter, Theresa Mell. They are living in Charlotte and we would like to have their address. Jack, Tom, and Billy McCall spent the holidays in Charlotte with Marion. Billy is back at David- son, and Tom at the University of Iowa. Jack is planning to enter} peen bad almost continuously since Catawba in February. Lugene and David Spencer and little Jean spent the first part of their Christmas holidays in Spin- dale with Joe and Evelyn White and the last part at Barium. Joe White is Director of City and _BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., JANUARY 1947 No. 3 January Doings You have been in the movies when the picture changed from something like “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” to a news-reel, and the change is so abrupt that it takes you a moment or two to get adjusted to it. Well, that is something like the change at Ba- rium right after the Christmas holidays. We have such a big time with our presents and our parties and our picture shows during the holidays, and then all of a sudden school starts again and we find ourselves in the midst of not only {school activities but the annual health clinic, starting to make out the Duke Endowment Report, and getting started in a new athletic season, Well, we have had all three of those things. First, a little bit about the Duke Report. We find that we have had 1.4 children less daily population than a year ago. The average age of the children is about a year younger than a year ago. We have not yet worked out the per capita cost to see how much it cost to keep well, how much it cost to keep appetites satisfied, and to keep clothed. All of those things wil] be interesting to check on after the final report is made. In the health clinic the first thing on the docket is to weigh and measure, and we find only one boy in the whole place who did not make a satisfactory gain during the past year. In the tubercular test there were five reactors among the new children but none with even incipient tuberculosis. The general examination showed a good many enlarged and diseased tonsils, and we have already had our first ton- sil party - three little girls went to the doctor on January 16th, came back to Barium on the 17th, minus their tonsils and managed to smile, a little bit weakly it is true, but able to enjoy a large help- ing of ice cream. These little girls to start off the tonsil activity of the season were Shelby McEwen, Caro] Harwell, and Nancy Yandle. Another party is scheduled for Jan- uary 21st. In athletic activities: at this writing our teams have played four conference games, our girls win- ning from North Wilkesboro, Mon- roe, and Thomasville and losing to Children’s Home. Our boys winning from North Wilkesboro and Mon- roe and losing to Thomasville and Children’s Home. The midget teams | are beginning to pratice and will open their season against Oxford School in Catawba County on Jan- uary 29th, Arrangements are al- ready being made for our two big tournaments. The Mid-Piedmont will start on February 19th run- ning through the 24th. The Junior Tournament will start March 18th, and run through March 24th, Tro- phies are already on hand for these two tournaments and inquiries are already being made. Don’t we-wish we had that new gymnasium to stage this year’s tournaments in! We have a good basketball court but not nearly enough room for the spectators. Boy Scout activities are progres- sing even though the weather has the first of the year. Industrial Recreation in Spindale.

Benton “] BELIEVE IN THE HOLY GHOST” This month our discussion of the Apostles’ Creed brings our atten- tion to one of our closest, though least known, friends and helpers. As Christians we say that we be- lieve in a God of one Being and three Persons. The First Person is familiar to us as our Father in heaven. So is the Second Person, for He is Jesus our Savior. But to most of us the Third Person, the Holy Ghost, is a mysterious char- acter about whom we know very little. The word “ghost” recalls to our minds the spine-tingling stories we heard as children, Then our fears were quieted with the know- ledge that “there is no such thing as a ghost”, and association of ideas brings this teaching into our sub- conscious minds when the Holy Ghost is mentioned. Though we may learn that the “ghost” of childhood memory and the Holy Ghost have no relation, it is hard for us to free our selves from the sense of unreality about Him. It would be well if we could use the more modern form, Holy Spirit, exclusively. We learn early that “God is a spirit”, and we are ac- customed to recognize the reality of a spiritual Being. Thus we~are prepared for acquaintance and fel- lowship with the Third Person of the Godhead. Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit is like in being to God the Father and God the Son, and equal to them in power and glory. He is always mentioned by names in- dicating a real, living personality. The adjective “holy” describes His nature, which is that of God. He is called “the Spirit of Truth”, in- dicating that His work is to en- lighten the hearts of men with the truth of God. And He is called Com- forter or Counsellor (the word really means “one called along side to help”), for He is the Helper whom God has sent into the world Honor Roll For Six Weeks Ending January 6, 1947 First Grade: Second Grade: Nathaniel Craig.

Christmas Doings We wish that every person who has mailed a post-card, sent a pres- ent, or done anything else to make Christmas at Barium happier, to read this. Every year we start out with the best resolutions in the world - we are going to make a note of every post-card sent to us individually or to the Orphanage and acknow- ledge them, but before Christmas arrived we are hoplessly snowed under and it is out of the question to acknowledge or to even list those wonderful messages of good-will. We wish it were possible to ac- knowledge by specia} letter every individual gif, that is sent to the children at Barium, but that be- comes an impossible task. To ac- knowledge these by post-card be- comes a big job. We fzel badly a- bout this because it is so easy for a person to think that we take their gifts lightly and that we do not appreciate the many kind things done for us here, individ- ually and as a family. This article is an inadequate ex- pression of our thanks for the many kindnesses done for us this year. It seems to have risen to a larger volume than ever before. Our chil- dren were Letter taken care of and we want everyone who had any part in making this possible to know that we thank them and appreciate high- {ly what they have done for us. Christmas is such a busy time. Before we have gotten our family together again after the Christmas holidays other things are crashing in on us. There is the annual health examination, which becomes more and more important every year it seems; then there are reports to make out; the Executive Commit- tee of the Board wants to know how our finances stand; the Duke En- dowment Report is due to be made out; the basketball season starts off; and there are nearly always some new worker starting in at the first of the year. All of this makes January a most hectic month. We wish we could spend it in just saying Thank You for the many kindnesses that make our life here so worth living. to be with men always. In answering the question as to exactly what the Holy Spirit does for us, let us return to an illustra- tion used last month. We likened the Father to a Great Architect, Doings of A Dozen at Annie Louise Cottage A most enjoyable party was given on Friday night, January 17 by the matron to the dozen little girls who have recited perfectly, the Child’s Catechism. Those par- ticipating in the social activities of the evening were as follows: Shirley Ann Hollifield, Mildred McFarland, Betty Lou Johnson, Laura Jane Craig, Florrie Garris, Shirley Shaw, Peggy Privette, Jackie Liverman, Jean Carol Har- rison, Evelyn Cox, Shirley John- son and Marie McNeil. Games were played and contests engaged in by all. A delightful social hour followed. Mrs. Gentry, assisted by Miss Blakney and Mrs. Craig served delicious refresh- ments consisting of a fruit salad plate with sandwiches, crackers and cocoa followed by ice cream and pound cake. This was a nice reward for the efforts of these little girls who deserve much commendation for this first mile post in memory work in our Sunday School. We all wish for them much success in their journey forward and hope the next mile post will be reached soon. —Written by a Friend and Ad- mirer of these little workers. NEWS FROM ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE We are just beginning to get settled down since Santa has come and gone and we want to tell you all about his visit. Christmas Eve night we found it almost impossible to go to sleep but when we did we dreamed only of Santa’s visit. He played a trick on us this year. He usually leaves our toys under our beds, but this year we awoke and there was not a play thing in sight. We hurried down stairs and still no toys and after we were dressed and ready for breakfast our toys were found in another room, It was a good sur- prise but next year we will all go to sleep.

The Son we com- pared to a contractor or builder who executed the plans of the Fa- ther and performed the actual work of salvation. One thing yet remains to be done before we can enjoy what has been prepared for us. There must be a mover to move us into our new home. This is the work of the Holy Spirit in the plan of salvation. He works in the heart of the individual, applying the saving grace and uniting each of us to Christ. He completes the work of Christ by applying it to men. It was with this work in mind that Christ taught, “It is to your advan- tage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counsellor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” The Holy Spirit has remained continually in the world. speak of God’s being here and of having the presence of Christ with us. In reality what we have is the , presence of the Holy Spirit, for the Father and the Son are present with us today only through Him. He works in us to convince us of sin and of our need of a Savior. Then He helps us to accept Christ, for we have no power in ourselves to turn to Him, But even here the work of the Spirit does not end. Jesus told His disciples just before the ascension, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,” and that Spirit-given power was exhibited at Pentecost. It is still found among believers, though less dramatically, today. It enables men to overcome sin and live right- eously, to witness effectively for Christ, and to advance the King- dom of God. The Holy Spirit is the Christian’s daily companion and guide. He walks the path of our life with us and points us heavenward. He gives us strength in time of trial. And it is through His voice that we hear the call to Christian service. Can we say then that we do not know Him? Perhaps we have _al- ways called Him by some other name, but we have long loved Him and depended upon Him. Let us thank our loving Father in heaven for sending Him to us, and let us think of all He means to us when we say, “I believe in the Holy Ghost.” Wel View, Va.

CORRECTION: - We wish to make a correction in regard to the report in the Oct. Messen- ger which gave no credit to Fairfield Church, Orange Pres- bytery as giving a Thanksgiv- ing Offering. On April 6, 1946 we received through Presbytery’s Treasur- er $17.60 as a contribution from Fairfield. We took that to be a regular contribution. We now know it should have been Thanksgiving.

C., FEBRUARY - MARCH, 1947 Mid-Piedmont Basketball Tournament Held At Barium Springs February 19th - 24th Many things happened in February, including greoundhoe day. The weather sometimes cuts up and usually February is the month when the flu bug gets in his heaviest lick. In spite of all this we manage to have a big time at Barium and very little of it ever gets 942% 2 a ~~ 4a koe * Trophies that were awarded at Barium’s two Basketball Tournaments held at Barium February 19th - 24th and March 18th - 24th. to the papers. What we are referring to in particular is the Mid-Piedmont Tournament. vitational tournament in which Ba- rium Springs plays host to the consolidated schools of the adjoin- ing counties. It started out on a very small scale, but there were some ideas about it which seemed to make it very pepular. The mem- bers of the Barium teams act as sponsors for the visiting teams. The students manage the refresh- ment stand, the time-keeping, the scoring, and nearly all of the ac- tivities. All of this is supervised by some grown person but the students enter into it with such enthusiasm and do their work so effectively that they have made themselves very popular with the visiting teams and made the whole tournament very popular. The tournament started out with 32 teams being invited and this continued until the war years, then it looked like the tournament would have to stop, and we did not plan a tournament for one year, but the neighboring schools were so insistant that we did finally stage a tournament late in March for that year. Next year we went ahead at the usual date in the mid- dle of February. Some of the regu- lar participants dropped out dur- ing these years for lack of trans- portation, then when the war was over they wanted to come back. We found that 382 teams was not enough and we had to expand it. Last year it was expanded to 42 teams, this year to 50. Now elim- inating 48 teams to finally arrive at the two champion teams re- quires a lot of games. The first day, Wednesday, February 19th, 18 games were played, starting at 11:50 a. m. The games were short- ened, being ten-minute halves and were run off the first two days a game every thirty-five minutes. Sixteen games were played on Thursday, eight on Friday, four on Saturday, and the finals Monday night. The people attending the games come from all of the par- ticipating schools and they have a grand time cheering and boosting their teams along. This year there were eight Mecklenburg teams entered and the Mecklenburg teams all had their cheer leaders which added to the occasion. The teams are the best-looking teams you ever saw. There has been a trophy awarded to the girls’ team that was the best-dressed and neatest in appearance, and it has become harder and harder each year to determine the winner of this trophy. Stanley boys and Scotts girls were the champions of the tourna- ment. The refreshment stand sell a quantity of soft drinks and sand- wiches. The seventh-grade boys are the “cleaner-uppers”, gather- ing in the bottles and cleaning up after each day’s play. In cleaning up they run across many lost art- icles - car keys, purses, letters . . these are turned in at the judges’ stand and are usually there by the time the owner misses them. Many things are turned in, but this year was the first time that we ever This tournement started 16 years ago. It is an in- had a live lost article, and it was a sixteen-year old gir! who announc- ed that the party she was with had gone on home and forgotten her and here it was 10:30 on a snowy night and she had no place to go. Well, we made arrangements to get her home but she was called for before that necessity really arose. Her party finally missed her and came back after her. This year an event happened that ought to get into Ripley’s who owns a Chevrolet ‘36 model will read this article, because they might look in the trunk of their car and find the lost articles we are talking about. Here’s the story. This boy was on the Thomasboro team. He came to the game with his parents. They parked the car in the parking lot and came in to watch the game. Before the game was over, however, the boy’s par- ents went on to Statesville and another car of exactly the same model and make came and parked in the place where this car was. Well, after the game was over the boy went out and took his key which was the duplicate to the key which his parents had and pro- ceeded to unlock the trunk of this other car, thinking it was his own, put his suit inside and his Sunday shoes, locked it up again and went back in again to watch the other teams play. Later on in the even- ing his parents came for him and he got in their car and went home. and then they discovered that this was not the same car in which he had put his clothes. The coincidence of a car of the same make being in the same spot would be rare enough, but to have a lock that could be opened by the same key is just too much to believe all at one time, and yet it really happened. All you Chevrolet own- ers go out immediately and look in the trunk of your car and if you find this suit and shoes, please return them to this boy at Thomas- boro. We are showing elsewhere in this paper a picture of the trophies that are awarded at this tourna- ment. There are quite a lot of them. Also in this picture are the trophies for the Junior Tournament which is staged a month later. The profits of the tournament and the profits of the refreshment stand go to defray Barium’s athle- tic expenses. In the first years the tournament barely broke even on expenses, the paying of the officials and the purchasing of the trophies taking most of the profits. But in recent years the attendance has been so good that the net profit of the tournament has materially helped to defray the expenses of ail of our athletic teams. The big trouble today is accomo- dating the people who want seats; we could easily fill a gymnasium three times as large as our basket- ball court which is in our grammer grade school building. We are look- ing forward to the day when we (Continued On Page Two) Pastor’s Paragraph By Rev. F. B. Benton I BELIEVE IN THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH. This month we come jin our study of things that we as Chris- tians believe, to the fourth article of the Apostles’ Creed. Already we have examined the first three articles, which deal with our be- lieve in God. They have shown us God the Father as the archi- tect of the universe and of our sal- vation, God the Son as the Master Builder who wrought out the work of salvation on Calvary, and God the Holy Spirit as the applier of salvation to our hearts and the presence of God with us always. Now as we pass from our belief about God to our belief about the instrument through which God works in the world, and we say, “I believe in the holy eatholic Church.” Before discussing this doctrine, let us define the terms. I have found that children are often confused by the word “cath- olic”’, thinking that it refers to the Roman Catholic Church. Of course, there is no such meaning. “Catholic” is simply an adjective meaning “universal” or ‘“world- wide”. This article might better be restated today: “I believe in the universal Church”. In the Epistle to the Ephesians column, and we hope everybody | , we find the heart of the Scriptural ‘doctrine of the Church. There we are told (1:22, 28) that God gave Christ “to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body.” From that statement we gather two useful figures which help us to understand the Church. First of all, Christ is called the head. The head, which is the seat of the brain and the will power, rules over the body, directs its activities, and controls its move- ments. It is His, for He is its foun- der. “Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell February and March Issues Combined You readers of, the Messen- ger may be somewhat puzzled, and you have a right to be. The February and March issues of the Messenger have been com- bined into one issue for this month. Here’s why. The paper problem still exists and it has been quite difficult to get enough paper for all issues of, the Mes- senger. Right now we are faced with the necessity of skipping one issue for lack of paper. The April issue is always a big one. It contains a lot of information covering the end of the Church Year, and the only issue whicii could be well combined with another is the one of February, so we are combining February with March. This is the first time sinte the Messenger started many years ago that we have failed to get out an issue each month, and we hope that this will not happen again. We do not want to revert to newsprint, so we are hoping that by skipping this one issue we can get along all right for the rest of the year. Be patient with us and we will do the best we can. thing else we have ever known. It is a glorious thing to be a part of this great, true invisible Church. But membership is not just a matter of getting our names on the roll of some earthly church. It is rather a matter of an over- whelming belief in our hearts that turns our lives around and makes us like Christ. The Church in the world has a two-fold task. The great Com- mission instructs us to go and make disciples of alf nations. The Church’s first task is to preach the gospel for the salvation of souls. It is God’s rake in the field of the world for the gathering in of the harvest of those to be saved. Number 4 & 5 A Letter to the Alumni Association Burlington, N. C. Route No. 6 Dear Alumni, At Barium Springs, Home-com- ing day, I was elected to that most cherished position of Secretary and Treasurer of the Memorial Fund. This fund is to be set aside to es- tablish a memorial to the boys and girls of Barium Springs who served in the Armed Services. The nature of this memorial will be decided upon at the next Home-coming meeting of our Alumni Association, Now, I was instructed to give each person an opportunity to con- -cibute to this fund so that each of us will feel as though he had a part in this small way to express our deep appreciation to those who gave so much and to the memory of those who gave everything. Won’t you please send to me your most liberal contribution so that next Home-coming we may have a sizeable fund with which to establish a memorial to our gal- lant Brothers and Sisters. Your Foster Brother, D. REID BROWN. The above is a communication from Reid Brown, a most enthusi- astic member of the Alumni As- sociation. He is very anxious to get a more complete mailing list of the alumni, and if every one of you who read this will send him your name and address it will help him lots. If you will call this to the at- tention of any other members of the alumni that you know, we will appreciate it. We know that many of the alum- ni read The Messenger whose ad- dresses the Alumni Secretary does not have. The alumni mailing list has been incomplete from its very beginning and you can now help put it in better shape. Give Reid a hand in this and it will make for better work all around. By the way, while you are think- One distinguishing mark of the! this duty - the true preaching of | the Word of God.

It serves as His arms and legs to do His work in the world. It is under His direc- tion and control and will. This figure pictures for us the Church in a way that all of us can understand. In the sense that we who are mem- bers of the Church are the chosen instruments of Christ, we can say that “Christ has no hands but our From another viewpoint we ask what the Church is, and we re- ceive the answer from our Con- fession of Faith that it is all those who believe in Christ as Lord and Savior through all the ages. The Chureh is bigger than just our local congregation, or even than all the local congregations in the world today. It includes all be- lievers, past, present and future. Thus when we become members of the Church, we join the vast throng of the saints of all ages. We iden- tify ourselves with Abraham, Paul, Luther, Calvin and Wesley. We become linked to that innumerable host that is around the throne of God in heaven, and to multitudes of those yet unborn.

S. A. GRIER We, the members of the Auxiliary of Little Joe’s Church, wish to pay loving tribute to the memory of our dear friend and co-worker, Elsie Morrison Grier, who died suddenly at sunset on November 30th 1946. Mrs. Grier was devoted to her Church and every phase of the Aux- iliary work was dear to her heart. She was ever ready to do her share and more, and accepted responsi- bility in the Auxiliary willingly and cheerfully. She was especially in- terested in Foreign Missions and inspired us all with her enthusiasm and devotion to the cause. In the year 1925, when the “Ladies Aid Society” was organiz- ed, Mrs. Grier became the first President and did a large part in shaping the constitution to fit our local conditions. After some years she was pressed into service again as president - then Foreign Mission militant Church, fighting the bat- tle against Satan for the souls of men. Only when Christ returns and ushers His Church into heaven will it become a Church trium- phant and at rest. While we must grant the theor- etical possibility of being saved without becoming a member of an earthly church, we are remind- ed that “the church is the means through which men are ordinarily saved.” It is the natural way to Christ. And the church offers us the best environment for growth and service. There we have the companionship cf other believers to strengthen us. There worship and Christian study are provided for us. And there we have the best opportunity to serve Christ our Lord. “I believe in the universal Church.” And, believing in it as it has been presented here, I can- Secretary, and then Secretary of | Spiritual Life. In recognition of her service, the Auxiliary present- | ed her a “Life Membership”. Her life was rich in service, beautiful in faith and trust - and gracious with the simplicity of true culture. Her death, far from bringing a feeling of sadness, gives us a sense of triumphant victory. It is a fitting climax to a life of loving service that she should enter into the man- sion prepared for her and hear her Savior’s “well done good and faith- ful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord”. We cherish her memory and pledge ourselves to seek to imitate her goodness, in order that we may be more like the Savior Himself. “CROSSING THE BAR” Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark: And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark! For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Miss Rebekah Carpenter Miss Sadie Brandon Mrs. Joseph B. Johnston Committee Pastor’s Paragraph (Continued From Page One) ‘re life in heaven. We are far from perfect when we come into ‘he Church, but its preaching and ‘eochine should constantly aid our cevelonment in that direction. There are many tasks to be done on earth, but just these two are the work of the Church. All its proper functions aim at call- ing lost sinners to come to Christ and helnine the saved to grow more like Him. Any work which cannot be comprehended under one cr the other of these aims is out of line with the true purpose of the Church. The Church in the world is a not but throw my life into its great work of bringing in the Kingdom of God. Mid-Piedmont (Continued From Page One) will have such a gymnasium and ‘then our tournaments can really help in defraying our other ex- | penses. The Barium teams do not par- ticipate in this big tournament they help make it a success. In fact, everybody at Barium Springs has a hand in it. The school teachers sell tickets and that is quite a job. The Domestic Science department make sandwiches out of hanis that were raised by the farm crew and cooked by the kitchen crew. A group of boys look after the parking ar- rangements. | The printing office gets out the programs, posters, tickets, etc. One school principal has charge cf the score keeping and timing; another school principal has charge of the arrangements; others have 'charge of the seating of people - \the ushering. Another one of the ‘staff is one of the four officials {handling the games. { There is something to be done by everybody and they have all done their work so efficiently that this tournament is one of the most popular in this section of North Carolina. Just a month Jater another tour- nament is held - the Junior Mid- | Piedmont Tournament. The girls’ /teams entered are from the ninth |grade on down. The boys teams lentered are 125-pound weight limit. There will be 32 teams en- tered this year and they will play double eliminations and each team winning two of their three games will get a trophy. The play will start on Tuesday, March 18th, and run through March 24th. Barium’s teams participate in this and have won a good percentage of the championship trophies in the past. Barium Springs students have on opportunity to come in contact with the students of many other schools in these tournaments. They enjoy them and it makes friends for themselves and for Barium Springs 00. REGULAR FERUARY RECEIPTS Clothing Outfits Olney Aux. (2).

APRIL 1947 Campus Happenings The Barium Messenger coming out just once a month cannot carry reports of all the interesting events which take place at Barium. This time it is increasingly difficult be- eause this particular issue covers nearly two months of activities, and during that two months so many things have happened. To be- gin with, there was the Junior Mid- Piedmont Tournament, and then there was the Student Conference, and then a lot of the grown folks went down to Charlotte to attend the Tri-State Orphanage Confer- ence. Then we have had the Senior Play and the different classes have put on Chapel Programs which have been most interesting, and as this is written we are getting all dressed up for the big music re- cital. Then there is the basketball banquet, and all of those things ought to be talked about, but we will just have to devote a little bit to each one of them. Let’s begin with that Junior Tournament. This year there were 32 teams entered. Play began on March 18th, and every day that week from then on four games were played in the afternoon and four at night and the following Monday afternoon four games were played with the finals that night. On the eve of the first day’s play one of the girls’ teams dropped out and Barium substituted a second team, so this year Barium had two girls’ teams and one boys’ team entered, and two of these teams went into the finals on Monday night, and in the finals our boys were defeated by Mooresville and our girls came through victorious. There were 16 trophies given at this tournament and we believe more fun was had at it than at any of the big tournaments. Just a week after this we had the basketball banquet. Our pastor, Reverend F. B. Benton, was the toastmaster, and the following boys and girls were awarded monograms No. 6 or letters: Earl Allen, Benny Gregory, Dwight Spencer, Charles Barrett, Jack Mangum, Jerry Young, Her- bert Good, J. D. Everett. Hannah Price, Toni DeLancy, Lee Vinson, Helen Hawley, Janie (Continued On Page Two) ———= he is to everybody at Barium. MASCOTS The mascots for the class are Joe Anne Jackins whose Daddy was raised at Barium and whose Mother taught at Barium and who is named for Mr. and Mrs. Johnston. The boy mascot is Adrian Cochran, but nobody knows him by that name - Buddy ic TOP TO BOTTOM First Row: Mary Ann Ryder, Lee Vinson, Dwight Spencer, Class President. Second Row: Eleanor Pope, Han- | nah Price, Myrtle Rushing, W. A. | Johnson. Third Row: Frances Isenhour, Margaret Katen, Jean McDonald, Benny Gregory. Fourth Row: Toni DeLancey, Helen Hawley, Miriam Huddleston, Ear] Allen. We are presenting in this issue of the Messenger our graduating class for 1947. There are 16 in this class, but only 15 pictures. The other member of the class is a neighborhood boy who did not get his picture in in time - Buddy Lip- | pard. He has been a most consis- tent member of the high school for the last four years. The girls great- | ly outnumber the boys as has been the case since the war started. It | will continue through next year’s, class, and then we hope it will | even up. The member of the class who has been at Barium the longest is Jean MacDonald who entered from St. Pauls, N. C. in 1933, the young- est of a big family. Earl Allen is next. Earl entered | in 1934 from Lexington, the same | and | 1944 the baby of the class entered year that Hannah Price Myrtle Rushing entered. These two | Charlotte, ELEVEN GIRLS AND FIVE BOYS GRADUATE AT BARIUM SPRINGS THIS YEAR girls came from different parts of Union County. In 1935 Helen Haw- ley from Wilson, N. C. entered; in 1936 Dwight Spencer from just over in Mecklenburg (Cornelius) entered, as did Lee Vinson from Johnston County. In 1937 Toni De- Lancey from Charlotte and Mary Ann Ryder from Durham entered. None of the class entered in 1938 or 1939, but 1940 brought in Frances Isenhour from Concord, and in 1941 Margaret Katen from Lexington, Benny Gregory from Eleanor Pope from Elizabethtown, and Miriam Hud- dleston from Wilmington, and in - W. A. Johnson from Laurinburg. Pastor’s Paragraph By Rev. F. B. Benton I BELIEVE IN THE FORGIVE- NESS OF SIN” The oldest problem of the human race is the problem of sin. Hell used to be a favorite sermon topic for preachers, but we don’t talk much about it any more. The con- sequence of sin is still eternal punishment in hell, but we today that more people can be loved out of hell than can be scared out of it. The writers of the Apostles’ Creed expressed the phasis that we use today. They spoke not of punishment but of forgiveness. The fifth article of the Creed states, “I believe in the forgiveness of sin.” Here is the core of Christianity’s appeal and the keystone of its hope, for the cape. We have discovered same em- The ever present fact of sin keeps constantly before us the need of forgiveness. Of course, many people manage to dull their consciences enough to put it out of their minds, especially when things are going well with them. But sooner or later the inescapable fact creeps back upon them, and their guilt before God makes it- self known. I shall never forget calling at a home during a for- mer pastorate in an effort to in- path of forgiveness is the one path| terest a family in the church. In prefer to stress the means of es-! to eternal life.

School will be out the tenth of May and we will be glad. The campus is pretty now and it is our job to keep it clean and we are dcing a good job. Hope you’ will come to see us this summer. We are going to take off our shoes in a few days and we are all excited. \ We have been studying the Child’s Catechism and the follow- | ing boys have recited it: Tommy ried in May. We are very glad she is getting married this soon after graduation because we will have the opportunity of seeing the wed-' ding which will be held in Little Joe’s Church. One of the most interesting fea- tures at Barium was the Student Conference which was held here last month. Delegates from many orphanages attended and stayed with us for three days. We learned a lot about the other orphanages, as well as making many friends. The Woman’s Building housed the girls, while the quads took care of the boys. The girls were hostesses at a tea given for the delegates on Friday evening 27th. Until next month this is all the news, so don’t forget to read our column next month. — The Woman’s Building girls HOWARD COTTAGE Hello Folks, We have a new girl over at our house, she has not been here very long, and her name is Betty Ann Blackburn. We have a new substitute ma- tron over at Howard. She is in the eleventh grade and her name is Ernestine Baldwin. She is nice to us, and we like her. She has been our matron this week-end, and we enjoy having her. School will be out in about a month. All of us will be glad to lot cur minds rest a while, how- ever our hands will be busy string- ing beans.

We are all interested in soft ball now. — Lees Boys Pastor’s Paragraph (Continued From Page One) answer to my invitation the fath- er in the home replied, “We feel no need of the church. We live as best we know how, and we are certainly getting along all right without it.” His words pretty well summed up the man’s feeling of self-sufficiency. But later I was called back to that same home. Conditions had changed an d trouble had entered. The father spoke again, quite diiferently | this time: “We realize now that we have been neglecting and dishonor- ing God, and that we need Him.” Sueme would say that God was punishing those people for their jsin. But I believe as the Scrip- ture tells us, that God brought ‘them low in order to bless them. Our God cf love would rather for- |give than punish, but often He has to use severe means before He can make us ready to receive His forgiveness. All sin is primarily against God, and all failure to honor Him and to ‘obey His law is sin. Even so great a man as David had to learn this | truth by painful experience. When he committed his great sin of tak- jing the wife of Uriah the Hittite ;and was confronted with his sin ‘by Nathan the prophet, he left us 'a record of his repentance in the fifty-first Psalm. And the great burden of that Psalm is in these words, “Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned.” Beside the offense to Ged, the offense to others fad- ed into insignificance. Every sin is first and foremost against God. ut the Christian can say with jeen idence, “I believe in the for- knew her personally, we count- ed among our friends, because she was so near to one of our number, Mrs, w. F. Andrews, mother of Miss Lulie E An- drews, Cashier and Bookkeeper of Presbyterian Orphans’ Home. Her cheery presence will be greatly missed when we drop in at Miss Lulic’s apartment. Our thoughts are with Miss Andrews jin the loss of her mother. who is offended has made a way of escape for al] who have sinned. Perhaps we are used to thinking of some as “hopeless cases”, but Christ teaches that all who look to Him can be foryiven. The case | of the paralytic who was brought ; this truth. He was in a hopeless condition when his four friends brought him to Jesus. And Jesus spoke to him first of his most serious need, “Thy sins be forgiven thee.” Only when the bystanders whispered in hor- ror of blasphemy upon hearing these words did Jesus continue his healing and move from soul- need to body-need. In doing so He made it plain that the physical healing was but proof of His pow- er to forgive. “That ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive, I say unto thee, arise and walk.” Yes, there are no hopeless cases. But perhaps our error is at the opposite extreme, and we take the forgiveness of God for granted.| This same miracle corrects this| error by showing us that the one basis of forgiveness is the power of Christ. As sin is an offense against God, only He can forgive. The mission of Christ to the world was to establish a means of for- giveness commensurate with God’s justice. His death on Calvary un- locked the door of forgiveness, for only by bearing our guilt and paying the penalty of death for every sin could this be done. God’s justice and mercy were reconciled in the cross, and only in Christ and through Christ is forgiveness pos- sible. Nor may we forget that we too have a part in obtaining forgive- ness of sin. We must repent and believe. Repentance, which is the burden of David’s great Psalm that we have already mentioned, has been defined as “being sorry enough not to do it again.” Belief, or faith, is emphasized in the story of the paralytic. John sums up both in his great statement, “Tf we confess our sin, He is faith- ful and just :o forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unright- eousness.” There is yet one more thing we must notice, and that is the ex- tent of God's forgiveness. Human forgiveness is seldom complete. The memory of a wrong lingers on and crops up again under the prop- er conditions. Often the wrong- doer is less jntimate or less re‘ spected by the wronged one than before. But this is not so with the forgiveness of God. His forgive- ness is total and complete. When He forgives, He then looks upon us as if we had never sinned. He sees us clothed in the righteous- ness of Christ, and thus as pure and sinless as our Savior. Such forgiveness is always ready for those who come through Christ in faith and repentance. It is there for the child standing on the threshold of life, for the re- probate as near to death as the thief on the cross, and for every! Raeford Christian who seeks forgiveness for his sins anew each day. forgiveness of sins”, I imply other things as wel!. I must also mean, “I believe in the love of God — in the atoning death of Christ for me — and in the power of the Holy Spirit to change my heart.” _EME BARIUM MESSENGER There has gone from us one j! whom, though not all of us $4,000.00 PAGE TWO More Given by Sunday Schools.— Eight More Sunday Schools In Clubs Each year when the offerings are all in for the fiscal year just clos- ed we make up a report on the gifts from the Sunday Schools of the Synod that take a_ special Home. In this we do not include the Thanksgiving Offering. We ‘will print that report later. The returns this year are indeed gratifying. To make special men- ‘tion of the increases in each case would almost require two lists. The total amount from these clubs this year is the splendid sum of $28,472.39.

Benny Mac Gregory was voted the most valuable boy player, Earl Allen was elected captain for the season. Among the girls, Helen Hawley was voted the most valuable and Hannah Price the captain. The banquet was just a home affair with not more than three outsiders these being from the press. Quite a number of old boys and girls were here and there were altogether around 200 present. It was quite an occasion Just a little later we had a very remarkable gathering at Barium. This was the Student Conference, a revival of an organization that commenced to function about ten years ago but had to drop its act- ivities during the war period. It is composed of a selected number of students from The Childven’s Home, Mills Home, The Kennedy Home, Lexington Junior Orphanage, Ox- ford, Hughes Memoria School at Danville, Virginia, and Barium. The Beta Club at Barium spon- sored the meeting and ‘hey got off to a good start on the night of March 27th. Their meeting lasted through the night session of the 28th and adjourned Saturday morn- ing, the 29th. Two of the members were commissioned to present their findings to the Tri-State Orphanage Conference which met in Charlotte on the night of April 8th. Dwight Spencer of Barium was the tem- porary chairman to convene the meeting and was elected perman- ent chairman for this meeting. Jerry Young was elected president for next year and the meeting will, no doubt, be held in the neighbor- hood of the latter part of March, ; 1948. Dwight Spencer of Barium ,and Ben Tucker of Oxford were the two commissioned to present their resolutions to the Tri-State Orphanage Conference. They did this on the night of the 8th and did a splendid job - they were well received by the Conference. The program of commencement has been pretty well prepared and the activities of the school now are looking toward commencement. Our baccalaureate sermon on the morning of the 11th will be preach- ed by the Reverend John McAlpine of Lexington. The sermon on Sun- lday night will be delivered by Reverend Samuel M. Houck of Lo- ray, and the commencement add- ress on the night of the 12th will be delivered by an old Barium boy, Reverend Samuel E. Howie, D. D., of Fayetteville. The senior play was quite interesting as well as (Continued On Page Three) APRIL 1947 EEE (Continued From Page Two) the other programs. The sixth grade put on a mock wedding which was so perfect in all its details, that we expected a shower of rice when ‘it was over. Barium had a rather large meet- ing on April 21st. This was the an- nual meeting of the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association. There are 30 schools in this Association and 20 of them were represented at this meeting, about 50 delegates altogether. The Executive Committee met during the afternoon and all took supper in the big dining room that even- ing, the annual meeting following immediately. People seem to like to come to Barium. We had a steak supper that night, and that may have had something to do with it. The fact that we always have ap- ples to eat has a lot to do with it, but the smiling pleasant way that our young girls serve the dinner guests has the most to do with it. Oh, yes! Here is a big piece of news. Ever since Barium got out its first athletic team there has been a problem as to how to get that team moved from place to place. We have solicited friends to furnish cars. We have really worn out the cars belonging to many of the folks who live at Barium. The business of transporting a football team and midget teams and basket- ball teams, etc. amounts to a lot in a year’s time. Every time we have had to make a trip we have come back home dreaming of the day when we would have a bus. Well, back yonder nearly two years ago we reached the point where the Beard authorized us to buy a bus and we placed the order, and then we thought we would never get it, but here on the day that our athle- tic season ended the bus was de- livered, and it is a beauty. It so happened that the very next day after we received the bus 28 of our music students were to take part in a contest in Salisbury and they got to make the first trip in that bus. Since then it has been used for a number ot things. Every month the Playhouse Theater in Statesville gives a free ticket to each of the two leaders in every grade. Well, that is just a bus load of folks and sometimes it takes a whole month to get those young- sters in to the theater a few ata _ time, but now we just load them up and take them in at one time. How lovely! There are many other oc- casions which we use it for. Up to now it has made one trip to Char- lotte, one to Mooresville, one to Salisbury, and dozens of trips to StatesviNe, and the new hasn’t worn off of it yet. Softball has come to life again. When we lay aside our highly com- petitive sports like football, bas- ketball, etc. we want to relax and still we like to play. Mr. Calhoun seems to be a genius at capitaliz- ing on this desire. He has organiz- ed a four-team league of softball. Twice a week we meet for a dou- ble-header. It is a faculty team and three student teams, and already eight games have been played. The season Jasts until the end of school and then we will take up something else, The tennis experts are beginning to flex their muscles - these mus- cles, by the way, have to be first used in getting the weeds out of the tennis court then they can use a racket. It will soon be time to commence cleaning up the camp. The camp is already booked solid from June 6th to August 21st. There is just something doing all the time. Happy Days! Music Contest Barium Springs School was re- presented in four events in the district music contest held at Ca- tawba College March 21st. Virgin- ia Presnell] was selected from four contestants in a loca] contest to represent the school as soprano soloist. Other numbers entered were a mixed quartet, girls trio, and the mixed chorus. Barium’s mixed quartet is composed of Dickie Ar- rowood, Anne Wicker, Good, and Charles Barrett. Mem- bers of the girls’ trio are Callie Dunn, Virginia Presnell, and Dickie Arrowood. The number of entrants was greater, the competition keener, and the judging seemingly stricter, than in former years; with the re- sult that none of the Barium con- testants received a rating of “I”, which entitles them to enter the state contest. The trio received a rating of II, which gave them a certificate. They were the only Barium contestants to receive rat- ings higher than III, but a ratin of III is considered “Good”.

The children are happy that school is out for a few months. The seniors are happy that their period of preparation is over and they can go to college or out into a life work. The sadness comes from the fact that our graduates scatter rather widely and so have to part from life time friends. Friendships formed here are very close and vital and parting for new environment is the more poignat for that reason. Members of the graduating class whose pictures appeared in last month’s Messenger are Mary Ann Ryder, Lee Vinson, Dwight Spencer, Eleanor Pope, Hannah Price, Myrtle Rushing, ‘7. A. Johnson, Frances Isenhour, Mar- garet Katen, Jean McDonald, Ben- ny Gregory, Toni DeLancey, Helen Hawley, Miriam Huddleston, Earl Allen. This was a splendid gradu- ating class. There were more hon- or students in this than any pre- vious class. Of the fifteen, four girls and thiree boys plan to enter college. Fine sermons were preached on Commencement Sunday by Rev. John McAlpine, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Lex- ington, and Rev. Samuel M. Houck of Concord Presbyterian Church, Loray, N. C. The subject of the Baccalaureate sermon was “The Merchantman Who Sold His Possession to Gain the Pearl of Great Price.” The qyeaing sermon by Mr. Houck had the subject “Building Bridges.” The inspiring Commencement Address by Rev. Samuel E. Howie, pastor of Highland Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville, N. C., was on “Paying the Price.” Certificates for perfect aiten- dance were given to over sixty boys and girls by the grammar school principal, Mr. Harry Bark- ley. The eighth grade certificates were delivered by the superinten- (Continued On Page Three* Honor Roll for a Last Six Weeks First Grade—Nathaniel Craig, Ethel Lane, Jerry McArthur, Jew- el McFarland, Janet Woodall.

N.C... Vay 1947 The above picture is of the wealthy classat Barium, those people who have more unused and unspent years ahead of then than anyone else at Barium Springs. They are the Baby Cottage crowd. The mature looking individuals in the back row will be going to school next year, and you can see that this responsibility is already commencing to weigh heavily upon them. From left to right they we Charles Bowles, Donny Privette, Richard MacArthur, Jimmy Harrison, Richari Blackburn and Larry Terry. _ The middle row from left to right are William Harrison, Jimmy Harris, Bud- dy Cochran, John Shepherd, Douglas MacArthur Byrd, Tommy Lane. The girls from left to right - Mary McEwen, Jackie Taylor, Ruby Truelove, Nancy Yandle, Sheila Wilson, and Ruth Shepherd. And the little blondes out in front are Linda Shepherd and Brenda Shepherd. These young ladies have al- ready commenced to take on some of the responsibilities of living. They have had their vaccinations and inoculations, and litle Jackie Taylor has even assisted in a wedding. In this picture they show up just as blondes and brunettes. In technicolor there would be some brilliant reds, with little Nancy Yandle the par- ticular star. Ruth Shepherd has had the most hospital experience cnd the deep- est dimples. She forgot to put those dimples in operation when this picture was made. Mary McEwen has the widest range of expression - to see her snile and to see her frown unless you were right there to see the transformation you would not believe it was the same person. Little William Harrison must belong to a different political party from the rest of them. He seems to be viewing every- thing with alarm. We wish you could know these youngsters. They will be our regular citizens from right now on. rr ed el we Th a l , In the April issue of The Messenger we always glorify the graduating class. In this issue we are introducing the rising seniors, the ones who will have a large part in making Barium Springs a good place in which to live during the next twelve months. There is a little larger percentage of boys in this class than was in last year’s. Here are the names: The big boy in the front row is our one and only G. I. - Kenneth Baker. Then Betty Jo Smith, Peggy Coffey, Janie Hall, Betty Cof- fey and Harold Myatt. In the middle row, left to right: Charles Barrett, Sadie Gray Buie, Mildred Monroe, James Reid und John Whiting. In the back row, Pearl Morgan, Tommy Hudgins, Bradley Jean Manus, Ernestine Baldwin, Lucille Stricklin and Jack Clark. _ If you have any old annuals if you will look back about eleven years you will find five members of this class in the Baby Cottage picture of that year. These are Charles Barrett, Betty Jo Smith, the Coffey twins and Mildyed Monroe. We hope that you will look at this picture and learn to like these folks. They mean a lot to us and we are counting on them ina big way. si n a No. 7 46 Children Joined Little Joe’s Church Easter Sunday was a memorable day at Little Joe’s Church, On that day we had the thrilling exper- ience of seeing forty-six children received into the membership of the church at one time, Our pastor, Mr. Benton, had been conducting a com- municants class for several weeks preceding Easter, instructing a communicant’s class the meaning of church membership and receiv- ing the children in clear profession of allegiance to Christ. We wish that every one of our readers could have been with us to see the impressive scene. As names were called, the line of children grew until it crowded the whole area in front of the pulpit. Then, while their eager, upturned faces responded to the required questions, it seemed truly that “the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them”. And most impressive of all was the mass baptism with which this part of the service ended. Thirty-eight children were bap- tized upon profession of faith at that time. They were: Carol Jean Andrews, James An- drews, Mary Jane Andrews, Helen Barnes, Shirley Jean Byrd, Mary Bowles, Barbara Bradshaw, Louise Bradshaw, Sylvia Buie, Billy Burke, Edward Cannon, Albert Clough, Peggy Collins, Donald Dean, Lois Dellinger, Edna Ellis, Martha Nell Hall, Billy Hardin, Betty Hollifield, Margaret Hopkins, Margaret Hucks, Elizabeth Ann Huddleston, Linda Inman, Patty Inman, Jimmy Johnson, Sarah Lee Liverman, Bobby McEwen, Mary Elizabeth McNeill, Betty Jean Page, Shirley Plyler, Jackie Poterfield, Aline Thomas, David Thomas, Shirley (Continued On Page Two) Perfect Attendance Certificates for Year First Grade — Peggy Sellers, Jewel McFarland, Jerry McArthur.

News From Some of the Cottages QUADS NEWS Howdy Folks, With spring here for 1947 it’s about time we were getting our “annual” message to you into the messenger, The spring sports have come so quick that we have hardly had time to catch our breath from playing basketball. We have organized three softball teams from the boys in high school and the faculty has one also. With these four teams we have four games a week, giv- ing each team a chance at the other three. The faculty and Jack Clark’s “Mugwumps” are tying for first place with three wins and one loss apiece and with Jack Mangrum’s “Little Wonders” and senny Gregroy’s “Playboys” bat- tling it out for the third place. School is out and four of our boys are missing from the summer work line up. We miss these boys but maybe Barium won’t go bank- rupt in their absence. Their names should let you know how valuable they are; Benny Gregory, Earl Allen, Dwight Spencer, and W. A. Johnson. The rising Senior boys with Charles Barrett as their “Generalissimo” should take care of matters. We’ll sign off for now with hope that we'll be able to get in another few words to The Messenger before next Spring. With all our spring fever, “The four sided boys” (Quadrangles) ANNIE LOUISE Hello Friends, School is out at last, and grad- uation is over and we have really started our vacations We are going barefooted and all the rocks are getting us down, but that doesn’t matter just so long as we get off our hot shoes. Some of our girls are moving up to Howard, we will miss them a lot but we hope they will be happy in their new home. One of the little girls found a bird hath and is still watching it in hones a bird will bathe in it. Miss Blakeny, one of our teach- ers, gave us a party the other night. We had a nice time and en- joyed jt very much. Our matron took thirteen of the girls who made the honor roll to the show. We hope that we will have more on the honor roll this time. We will see all of you about this time next month. So long. ~—Annie Louise Girls SYNOD’S COTTAGE School is out and without our shoes we are enjoying our lawn of grass, clover, and also the bees. Marble season is almost over and Marvin Garris has the great- est collection. 360 of them. We dressed up in our new shorts and polo shirts, and attended the graduation exercises. We were thrilled, as it was a new experience for some of us. We were happy that our big sister, Eleanor Pope graduated but we all were sorry to see her leave. She will attend Flora Macdonald next year and we hope to have her visit us often. Moving time is here and six new boys from the Baby Cottage are coming: Rickie McArthur, Charles Bowles, Donnie Privett, Donnie Harris, Richard Blackburn and Larry Terry. Six of us will move to Lees. We are proud of Shirley, our big sister, who is assisting in playing the piano this summer. She will enter high school in the fall. Louise Campbell, our other big girl, was awarded a lovely letter of congratulation on her improve- ment in school by Miss Faye Stev- enson. Four of our boys were given perfect attendance certificates in school and we are very proud of them. We are quite happy to know we —s Barium Springs, N. C.

Pastor’s Paragraph By Rey, F. B. Benton “I BELIEVE |\ EVERLAST- ING LIFE” Through the past several months we have been thinking of the Apos- tles’ Creed and the eveat fundemen- tals of Christig: with which it deals. The Cree! begins with our belief in a Triune God, the Father our Maker, the Son our Savior, the Commun- to us. It proceeds sur belief in a end the Holy Sp icator of salvatio to a statement of great Christian community, the Church, and the fellowship of all saints in that community. Then it expresses Christianity’s answer to the greatest human need, the for- giveness of sin. Finally it ends with the ‘answer to man’s great problem, death, by expressing man’s great hope, everlasting life. The efforts of men to look be- yond the grave are as old as the human race. Job asked the ques- tion, “If a man die, shall he live again?” And his faith answered, “I know that my Redeemer liveth;” David expressed his belief in im- mortality in the twenty-third Psalm: “And I shall dwell! in the house of the Lord forever.” But the final answer was reserved until the resurrection of Christ and His promise that “in my Father’s house are many mansions - - -- I go to prepare a place for you.” It is because of Him that we can say with full confidence, “I believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.” People hive always speculated as to what lies beyond death, but to the Christian alone is given the answer to the problem and the assurance that the grave is not the end. I shall never forget my first experience with death after I became olj enough to realize its meaning. A friend of mine died while we were in high school, and I went witha little group to her home to pay our last respects. I do not know what I expected to see, but as I looked into the coffin there I experienced an amazing sen- sation. My friend was not there! She had departed, and what re- mained was but the shell in which she had lived, And in that moment ' knew that her soul was still liv- ing. The Scripture teaches me that what I experienced that day is true. The believer’s soul is inde- structible. It is hard for us to dis- associate the soul from the body as long as the two are joined in this life, but in death we realize the destinction. Our bodies are no- thing but the house in which we live. Death frees the soul from this earthly habitation and allows it to flv upward te God. : Death is then but a change of state, and not really an end at all. As the moment of death approaches Christ whispers to every believer, “Today thou shall be with Me in paradise.” The end of this life ush- evs us into the state for which we Were created. No wonder that Paul could write, “I have a desire to de- part and he with Christ.” What comes after js a fuller life in which Iran regains the blessed privilege walking with God which was lost in Eden, Christ gives many benefits to believers in the present life, but the fullest and best are reserved for the time of death which so many fear and dread. The Scrip- ture teaches that we are then made perfect in holiness. The everlast- e ef Alumni News | Dr. Sam Howie, minister at Highland Presbyterian Church, Fayetteville delivered the com- mencement address. He was. a- warded the ace medal that is given to the alumni for outstanding work. We were happy to have many of our former children back for commencement. We noted Lucille Smith, Wilma Jessup, Dalma Jes- sup, Arthur Sigmon, Donald Bol- ton, Esau Davis, Richard Shoaf, Anna Bell Williams Dawson, Mar- guerite Jordon Tysor, Will and Sam Warlick, William Wadsworth, Fdna Maples, William Billings, Jack McCall, Joe Long, Martha ing life given to ys the moment we first accept Christ as our Savior bursts forth into full bloom, Like the butterfly emerging from the cacoon, we appear in full beauty and glory. And like the butterfly soaring upward on its newly given wines, we soar upward to join Christ in glory. It is hard to bury a loved one, but we can only bury his body, And even that body remains under the care of God. It is still united to Christ in some mysterious way we cannot understand. Its condition is expressed in our Confession of Faith by the beautiful word “rest” as it waits the day of resurrection, And we do believe that the time of resurrection will come. Then the resting body will be raised up and reunited to the soul. It will be raised in glory, a better body than we place in the grave, with- out spot or blemish, fashioned after the resurrection body of Christ Himself. The fifteenth chapter of I Corinthians gives us such a beau- tiful picture if this change as to make us await it with eagerness. On that last day, when the be- liever’s soul and body are reunited he will stand before Christ for the final judgement. It will not be an cecasion for fear, for Christ will recognize His own. “Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, ‘Come ye blessed of my Father and inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the found- ation of the world.”’ The judgment day will be a day of joy, for then will begin the enjoyment of the full blessing of God throughout eternity. We have the assurance of God’s own promise that “in Thy presence jis fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are plea- sures forevermore.” As long as this world lasts, death will bring sorrow into the lives of men, but it need not bring despair to believers. Sorrow is for the ones left behind, those who are lonely without the loved one who goes be- fore them. But for the believer who leaves this life for his final home, death is an experience to look forward to, the greatest joy that life holds. We express this confidence when we say, “I believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.” 46 Children Joined (Continued From Page One) Thomas, Richard Vest, James Wheeler, Mack Wicker, Jerry Williams. < Six others who had been baptiz- ed in infancy also came with the group and made their public pro- fession of faith.

Benton Flere in the summer of 1947 we want to forget about the war, but just to remind us that Barium Springs was very much in the war we are printing this picture. There was no doubt a good deal of mail from Barium Springs headed toward Adolph Hitler. This particu- lar package was directed and sent on its way by William Lindsey who is also in the picture. MESSAGES OUT OF THE DEPTHS Facing death with fortitude is nothing new or unique among men, but it never loses meaning. Written on a rock above the bodies of thiir- teen miners who died in the Cen- tralia disaster were the words: “Look in everybody’s pockets. We all have notes. Give them to our wives.” The contents of these notes are revealing. One might have ex- pected to find some echo of the long, bitter struggle of the miners for safety, for protective measures which’ might have prevented the disaster; but not so. Thoughts of loved ones were uppermost, and of Ged. WO mu . asked their wives for forgiveness seeing the mistakes of the p in a different sotting.

Two Delegations Visited Campus Two large buses brought a fine delegation to visit us from the Men’s Bible Class of Cherryville on the afternoon of May 20. Rev. George L. Riddle, the Church pas- tor, headed up the group and spoke of the fine work of this class. They brought six nice boxes of oranges and apples, as well as some crayons and drawing books for our little folks.

THE GREATEST TASK IN THE WORLD By Thos. A. Frazier, Knoxville, Tenn. The preaching of the gospel is the greatest task that has ever engaged the mind of mortal man. It’s great because of him who said go and preach. It’s great be- cause of the value of that with which it deals. Who can calculate the value of an immortal soul]? It’s great because it deals with time. eternity. It’s great because it deals with that which man cannot give and money cannot purchase. It’s great because its subie mat will live when the star old and the sun grown cold, ind when a?! ing lave been brushed aside. ere cau its’ 1 of Y broad ° f ) 1 1 } ve ' da hful 9 ae h be ‘thful ( r a few thi will ke thee ver many things.” And do know that the ume God who aid preach also said teach?

(Continued On Page Three) “THE BREAD OF LIFE” Have you ever seen anybody starve to death? Real hunger is so far from us that it is hard even to imagine not having enough to eat. Yet America is one of the few nations in the world where there is enough food today. A British leader recently characterized his country’s diet as one of slow star- vation. And on the continent of Europe, with even less food than England, constant hunger over the past several years has left child- dren weak and stunted and has allowed disease of all kind to reach alarming porportions. All over the world people are crying for bread and are ready to follow anyone who can provide it. Bread is one of the fundament- al necessities of life. This has al- ways been true. Therefore, when Jesus spoke of Himself as the “bread of life’, He intended to show the essential nature of His relation to us. Let us think togeth- er this month on His enlighting words: “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger.” By these words Jesus would tell us first of all that He alone can satisfy the gnawing pain inside our souls. Bread is a staple filler that gives needed bulk to the diet and produces a feeling of satisfaction. In recent years scientists have de- veloped concentrated foods to the extent that a person can now get - all the necessary food values for his body by merely swallowing one or two little pills at each mealtime. But experiments in the use of these concentrated foods over a period of time have proved them a fail- ure. Their users invariably become unhappy and irritable after a day or two. They miss the bulk which their bodies require for full sat- isfaction. We who live here with growing boys and girls are used to seeing them reach for the bread plate to- ward the end of the meal and eat two or three slices of bread just to top things off. That is perfectly normal during the fast growing years, for nothing else satisfies the craving of our stomachs and gives a feeling of well-being so id, \y J uld ve us know corre nding 1] is wrong with them, their souls are hun- filled. And Jesus is the t be miserable with- ily filling by Him. in, “I am the bread Jesus nourishes our souls and enables them to gro lop to maturity.

The pool has opened and every one is getting his share of swimming. Our tennis champs have been occupying the court from morning til night. Our recreation room now has a piano. Now every- one who isn’t a Beethoven can really enjoy himself playing chop sticks and boogie woogie. i Mrs. Bryant, with the help of the girls, has been turning our long neglected back yard into a garden. The seniors have taken over at the sewing room and have turned out many pretty clothes. That is about all the news for this month, but we’ll be back next month with more facts. about our building and our “gals.” — The W. B. Girls SEWING ROOM Hello Friends, When you last read the gossip and bits of news from the sewing room, you were hearing from a group of seasoned veterans. Today you are reading the news from a bunch of girls who have been sew- ing only three weeks. However we have turned out.many dresses and other items. Mrs. Smith has been slowly but surely pumping the “do’s and don’ts” about sewing into our heads. Sadie Buie isn’t tearing up the machines as fast as she did in Home Economies but no B-29 could beat her on the take off. Mildred has been singing “Its Benny a Long, Long Time.” Lucille Stricklin hasn’t quite hit the jack pot yet but she’s still bet- ting on those corny radio programs. Betty Jo is leaving us next week to go to a conference at Red Springs. (Good luck Jo) We wonder why Peggy and Betty always spell please — Pleas. Bradley Jean certainly is happy these days. Could it bé because she is hearing from Robert so often. We wonder? Va. Presnell sews so much until we don’t know anything to say about her. Ernestine Baldwin got tired sew- ing, she went to the Infirmary. Pearl Morgan is hoping she can wait on tables in Laurinburg this summer. She always did like to wait on tables, Enough of this gossip. Folks just remember to read our column next month. — The Sewing Room Girls SYNODS COTTAGE Dear Friends, We are so busy playing and go- ing to Bible School that we almost let our cottage news slip by this time. First of all, we want to tell you about our Bible School. It started Monday morning at nine o’clock when we all went to church and were divided into classes accord- ing to our age. We are learning something new every day and oh gee, what a good time we are hav- ing! Next month, we will give you a full report on the outcome of Bible School. Mrs. Bowling has gone on a two weeks vacation to Stanford, Ken- tucky and we miss her very much. Dewie Buie, one of our former big sisters, who is back from Flora Macdonald College for the sum- mer, is seeing to it that we keep our hands and faces clean and get to Bible School on time along with her many other tasks. it is almost warm enough to go in swimming and we are looking forward to it very much. Here’s hoping we’ll have a long list of boys to repert to you next time who know how to swim. So long until next month when we hope to have lots of news to report. — “The Wigglers” PRINTING NEWS Our school days have ended for the summer and we have been en- joying the three weeks that school has been out. Most of the Printing Crew will leave us this month for their beloved vacation. There is, Jimmy Reid our right hand man in the printing business.

Also six of our big boys have moved to Synods’ Cottage. Miss Richards has taken Miss Moles place as our little girls’ mat- ron. We all miss Miss Moles but are happy to have Miss Richards with us.

Love and Luck, Jane Feimster and Rachel Bullard Doctor was trying to check an epidemic in a village. Visiting a family, he asked, “Are you taking precautionary measures to prevent the spread of contagion?” “Yes, sir, Doctor,” replied the head of the family, “we’re even bought a sanitary cup, and we all drink from it!” DANGER Dr. Jchn R. Mott I have just come back from the most exhausting but illuminating trip of my life. I have visited nine principal zones of Europe, repre- senting five world-wide agencies, and I know from what I have seen and felt, that while this is the most dangerous era the world has ever known, it is also incomparably, the greatest opportunity to build and develop a future that will far transcend anything in the past. I have in my collection, 115 sets of findings which have been adopt- ed by various organizations, com- mittees on post war requirements, international and national welfare organizations, problems incident to the «comic bomb and others of a religious character, all of them dealing with resolutions looking toward the betterment of mankind. Never has there been anything quite like this. Many groups of thoughtful and serious people a- ercss the breadth of the world are trying to take stock of our world situation, asking the question — “Where are we heading?” When I think of human tragedy, as I saw it and felt it, of the Chrrist- ian ideals sacrificed as they have been, the thought comes to me that God is preparing the way for some immense, direct action.

I beleive we are on the thres- hold of something far greater and more portentous than the world has ever known. These piled up figures, Dr. Vick- rey has assembled, are not an ex- aggenaticn, Their only fault is that bev are an under-statement. What is money? It is so much stored up personality, whether the driblets of the poor or the rivers of wealth. Money is a solemn trust end responsibility. Apart from money, we cannot do the larger things, What is organization? The means of distributing force more advan- tagoousiy. With the impulse to go forward, and gathered momentum, what can we not do? What = does the _ inereasing thoughtfulness and turning to re- ligion mean? It means the hour is here. We are summoned to some- hing that will far transcend any- thing in the long history of man- kind. Man’s extremity has ever been God’s opportunity. We are on the thresh-hold of something that may be marvelous, We should walk soft- ly here, today. Are we sufficiently responsive to recognize God’s visitation? — The Baptist Courier. SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL POWER NEGLECTED The Church has been neglecting the source of its spiritual power. We can never know accurately the state of the Church until we lcok into the Scriptures. If the Bible is the Christian’s only rule of faith and conduct, it is no less the one standard by which the Church can gauge its power and spiritual con- dition. More specifically, the book of Acts sets forth clearly the plum- met which God places alongside the Church to show the degree of rec- titude. Here is not man’s measure- ment; here is God’s. The test ap- plied is not: Is the Church getting on in the world? The question is: Is the Church fulfilling God’s pur- pose, is it indwelt by His life? The Church is God’s husbandry, God’s building. He had laid the founda- tion. Christian fellowship is the temple of God. If any man defile the temple of God, him will God destroy, for this spiritual habita- tion of God is holy. When a minis- ter of Christ breathes deeply and long in the pure, pungent atmos- phere cf the book of Acts, he is bound to come forth from the ex- perience with some deep convic- tions concerning the state of our churches. The change in atmos- phere is arrestive— even start- ling. And the difference is summed up in one fact; namely, that the Holy Spirit is not honored in our churches as He was in the infancy of the Christian movement. ~— United Presbyteris ... HOW DO YOU RATE AS A PARENT? Parents have report cards too! The Piedmont, California High School Dads Club issued a report card which parents graded them- selves, according to the Bulletin cif ‘thle National Association of Secondary-School Principals. For each of the following questions to which they could answer an un- equivocal “Yes” they received ten points: 1. Do you provide a quiet study room for your child away from family, telephone, and radio? 2. Do you schedule a regular study time, and insist on its being kept? 3. Do you make an unsatisfac- tory report card (grades 3 or be- low) or a delinquency slip an oc- casion -for a parent-faculty con- ference, at once? 4. Do you require your child to stay at home and study every evening before a school day? 5. Do you see that your child gets adequute sleep? (9 hours Jr. High) THE BARIUM MESSENGER (8 hours H, 8.)? 6.

Yes, but home is more than that. It is the laugh of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father. Warmth of loving hearts, light from happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship, Home is first school and first church for young ones, where they learn whiat is right, what is good, what is kind, Where they go for comfort when tney are hurt or sick, Where joy is shared and sorrow eased. Where fathers and mothers are respected and loved. Where children are wanted. Where the simplest food is good enough for kings because it is earned. Where money is not so im- portant as loving kindness. That is home. God bless it!__Madame Ernestine Schumann-Heink. — Baptist New Mexican. LIQUOR PICTURES Far too many of our young peo- ple are seeing the wrong pictures in connection with liquor traffic. Wet propaganda and liquor adver- tisements portray the person who drinks as an elegant gentleman or glamorous lady imbibing amid surroundings of culture, sophisti- eation and refinement. Unfortun- ately, that is the only picture many people seem to see. But there is another that should be kept vivid- ly in the imaginations of youth: the broken home, the foul-smelling drunkard, the mangled victims of automobile accidents caused by dyinking drivers, the depraved criminal, the pathetie alcoholic. Quite often, the cartoonist pictures the ardent dry as a fanatic with a long face, long hair, long coat, long nose, tall hat, and bulging umbrella, lifting a warning face. The caricature of the temperance advocate, offensive to the imagina- tion, has probably done more to prejudice ylung people against the dry cause than all the argu- ments and editorials of the wet press taken together. There is a- nother picture of the brilliant doc- tor or the learned judge, or the unprejudiced social worker, or the impartial scientist, or the judicious minister, who intelligently and conscientiously oppose the liquor traffic because of the tragic ruin it has wrought in human exper- ience. —- J. Maurice Trimmer in Watchman-Examiner. FATHER OF THE R. F. D. City residents of this country have never had much reason to complain of Uncle Sam’s mail ser- vice. Since the year 1858, their let- ters have been delivered regularly at their front doors. It has been different with far- mers and other people living in the outlying rural areas. Less than fif- ty years ago, the people of these sections had to walk or drive to the nearest post office. Often this meant a journey of ten miles or more. On the facé of it, this ar- rangement seemed hardly fair. No one had considered it seriously enough to do anything about it for all those years. The establishment of the R. F. .D. changed all that. Rural free de- livery routes now extend over most JUNE 1947 of the back country roads, and tin mail boxes dot nearly every high- way. From Bad Axe, Michigan, southward to Rough and Ready, Texas; from Sudden, California, to Meddyhemps, Maine, and pack again to Evening Shade, Arkan- sas, these boxes stand along the road. Who brought about vavala! tionary improvement? Curiously enough, “the father of the R. F. D.” seems to be forgot- ten today. He was Perry S, Heath nguarded ‘ and was appointed f istant postmaster-general by President McKinley. He had hardly stepped into his new office before he heean to plan for better wail service for the farmers. To him, more than to anyone else, the nation owes its present rural free delivery system. The son of a Methodist lay min- ister, Heath was born in Muncie, Indiana, on August 31, 1847. He must have been an up-and-coming young man, for by the time he was twenty-one, he was so] of the Indiana city’s 1eWspap- er. Then, succumbing the West- ern fever, he sold out and move. t) Aberdeen in Dakota Territory, where he launched another paper. Washington, the national capital city, was his next stopover, and here he made quite a name for him- self as a journalist. Heath became well acquainted with Republican party leaders. They were so im- pressed with his ability that they asked him to take an important part in managing William McKin- ley’s campaign for the presidency. It was 1896, and William Jen- nings Bryan was making speeches up and ‘own the country on “free silver.” Heath decided on a differ- ent approach for his candidate. He decided that he would make an ap- peal to the voters of the country through the newspapers. He had 25 carloads of campaign litera- ture printed and distributed throughout the coantry. He hired 3850 writers to produce “Republi- can copy” for more than 12,000 newspapers, The result of the election every- body knows. Grateful for the part Heath had played in his election, McKinley appointed him first as- sistant-Postmaster-general. It was an office that the publicity direc- tor was well qualified to fill, and as soon as he took up his new duties he began to make changes that at the time seemed very start- ling. e proprietor His biggest innevatien was in country mail delivery. The R. F. D. already existed in a small way, but had never been given any whole-hearted backing by his pre- decessors in office. Skeptical of its success, dceming it impractial, earl- ier postmasters-general refused to ask Congress for any large outlay of funds. The biggest appropria- tion that had ever been made was $50,000. and for a nationwide ser- vice it can be imagined how far this, would go and how ridiculously inadequate it proved. Grangers and farmers flooded Heath’s office with petitions de- manding better mail service. Even if the 9ssistant had not been con- vineed a vast improvement was possible, he would have had to listen to their appeals. As qa matter of fact, Heath was all for the ex- periment and made such a strong plea that Congress granted him $150,000 for the R. F. D, the first year. The following year, the allot- ment was doubled. By that time, Perry Heath’s work was beginn- ing to show that the experiment in free rural delivery could be a success, Congress sat up and took notice since the public approved the service so enthusiastically. By 1900, the number of rural delivery routes had increased from 44 in 1897 to 1,214. Encouraging as this was, Heath foresaw the time when it would be of nation-wide benefit. In his re- port to Congress he pointed out, “It no longer is in an experimental stage, but has reached a pratical stand-point. With the cooperation of Congress, this rural free delivery service should be extended to the entire rural population.” Not long afterward, Mr, Heath resigned his Washington office return Oo hewspaper but his three years of organiza- tion had been a triumphant success. The people of the rural sections owe him a lasting debt for the mail service which has proved so worth i } vhile, pward.

Pastor’s Paragraph (Continued From Page One) years, leaves a person weak and stunted for life. It makes dwarfs, both physically and mentally. And soul starvation has exactly the same results. The world is full of spiritual dwarfs and weaktings whose condition is just as pitiful and just as apparent as that of the physically starved. They are in- different to God because the starv- ed soul is sluggish and unwilling to put forth the effort to think and work. They blight the world with their immorality and other crime, which are results of their souls not being fed. Jesus alone provides food to build the bone and muscle of the soul. Only by feeding on Him can we grow and develop into spirit- ual adults. Our entire lifetime in this world is the “growing age” of our souls, and we need large amounts of the “bread of life”’every day. There may be some reason why people must be physically undernourished, but there is plenty of “bread of life” for all. Finally, “I am the bread of life” means Jesus can provide strength for the work God gives us to do each day. All of us know that if we are going to do hard work we have to eat heartily to prepare ourselves for jt. Bread is a source of energy that enables the body to accomplish the tasks set for it. Some people are afraid to try the Christian life because it looks too hard. In reality, they remain inactive because they are so starv- ed that they are weak. they need the assurance that the “bread of life’ can nourish and strengthen them, and enable them to do their duty to God. The well fed soul can say with Paul, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthen- eth me.” There js no need to remind you readers not to neglect your three square meals a day for your bodies. But Jesus would remind you not to , neglect the feeding f your soul as regularly and as well. “I am the bread of life’, He says; “he ‘ ? .» who cores i iver, Miscellaneous Gifts Mrs, J. H.

Jury 1947 The Cruise of the Little Red Angel Being the Vacation Trip of the Johnston Family By JOSEPH B. JOHNSTON On June 4th, the remnant of the Johnston family, consisting of Mrs. Johnston, daughter Leila, and myself set out on a month’s vaca- tion. On that morning we gaily waved good-bye and set sail in our little red chariot to explore the United States, and thirty days and 430 gallons of gasoline later we pulled up at our home, winding up a Exhibit “A” = Re e ie The Three Vacationers series of most thrilling experiences, chief among which was the con- viction that however great our nation may be and however wonder- ful the different states may appear there is nothing quite so nice as that particular part of North Carolina known as Barium Springs. But wait a minute! Let’s get started. We went to San Fran- cisco. We spent nine nights and ten days on the way there. We spent ten nights and nine days in San Francisco; and we spent eleven days and ten nights on the way home. The first night we spent in Corbin, Ky., then Olney, Illinois, then just outside of Kansas City, then Colby, Kansas, then Love- land, Colorado (what a place for a honeymoon), then Vernal, Utah, then Ely, Nevada and Carson City, then Yosemite Valley and on in to San Francisco. On the way back the first night was at Bakers- field, then Boulder Dam, then the Grand Canyon, then Winslow, Ari- zona, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Elk City, Oklahoma, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Iuka, Mississippi (look that up on your map), Chattanoo- ga, Tennessee, Fontana Dam, North Carolina, and then home. On that first day out we really said good-bye to North Carolina at Montreat where we stopped with friends for a word or two and then lit out for foreign countries like Tennessee and Kentucky. In Tennessee we passed through the upper reaches of the Norris Lake and on to Louisville - we will re- member that Norris Lake before we get back. Across the river from Louisville we had lunch with son Bill and his lady Nell and from that time until we reached San Francisco not a single person did we see that we knew, but every- where we met people who knew about North Carolina. In Olney, Illinois where we spent our second night, the talk was about the heavy rains in Iowa and Nebraska and the damage it might do to that part of the country. We crossed the river at St. Louis - that is the big united Missippi and Missouri - and it looked mighty peaceful on the way out. It really did not look any larger than the Ohio which we crossed at Louisville. On across the Missouri and then into: Kansas, we commenced to see those big wheat fields and corn fields which made us wonder why people would take the trouble to farm little hilly fields like we have around Barium. The farther we went the bigger the fields seemed to get. The biggest crop of all was wheat, although! alfalfa was plentiful and it seemed to grow so rank that there was hardly enough land where it grew for it to cure; it had to be spread out so the sun could get to it. But the rivers commenced to look ugly. Those we crossed were beginning to get (Continued On Page Two) No. 9 Death Makes Two Visits to Barium Early in the morning of Jun 5th death visited Barium Springs. Richard Lee Huddleston, a thirteen year old lad, was stricken sudden- ly, taken to the hlospital and just a few hours later passed away, The doctors diagnosed his trouble as meningitis. It struck suddenly and without warning. : Richard was born May 26th, 1934, He entered Barium Springs Nov- ember 22nd, 1941. He was a mem- ber of the largest family at Barium during his lifetime - four boys and two girls. Richard was beloved of everyone at Barium. He was eager to help, always cheerful, thoroughly depen- dable. On an occasion several years ago he and his sister just younger than he went on a vacation to a camp. His devotion and protective attitude toward his little sister made him the favorite at the camp. This was such a common trait in Richard’s makeup that we at Ba- rium just took it for granted. He * was very popular around the fami- lies where there were young child- ren - he liked tu play with them and protect them. No one could hlave been missed more from our community than little Richard, The tokens of love, not only from those of us who live here but from all who knew Richard, indicatéd the deep affection in which he was held. His body rests in the little cemetery at Barium Springs. Just one month to the day after the death of little Richard Huddles- ton, death again visited Barium Springs and this time took a faith- ful colored man who had worked at_Barium for over twenty years - Everett Young. Everett became ill about a week before his death. He was taken to the’ hospital and became rapidly worse, passing away early in the morning of July 5th. He was buried near his home in Troutman on July 8th. His funeral was attended by more people than could get into the church. Many expressions of ad- miration and love for this faithful citizen were made. Barium Springs will long miss Uncle Everett. A number of years ago another faithful colored man, Uncle Abner, died. There was a team that he worked and one of the mules, Abner’s favorite in that team re- fused to eat after his death); for a time it looked like Old Cordy would die. She lost three hundred pounds before she began to pick up. We had a veterinarian to check her over and he could find nothing wrong. We finally decided that the verdict of the other colored men was correct, that Old Cordy was grieving for her master, Well, there is a team of mules at Barium Springs right now that are griev- ing for the man who drove them for so many years. They will, no doubt, miss for many months the sound of their master’s voice. We all miss Uncle Eb, Alumni News Mrs. D. W. Morris returned to her home in San Francisco, Cali- fornia after a month visit with the Johnstons. Rufus Long, who has graduated at Davidson this year, has accept- ed work in the Treasurer’s office at Montreat. Bill Starling who was at Ba- rium a number of years ago spent a day at Barium. He lives at Hy- attsville, Md. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Max May- hew (Margaret Presnell) on June 17 in Mooresville a daughter, San- dra Ann. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Williams (Elise Ferguson) of Aberdeen have a young son, James Teddy. Born to Herbert and Frances Accepts Call to Decatur, Ga. Rev. Frances B. Benton resigned from Little Joe’s Church June 15th that he might accept the call of the Oakhurst Church! in Decatur, Ga. REV. F. B. BENTON Mr. and Mrs. Benton and little daughter Betty came to Little Joe’ s Church fromm Dyersburg, Tennessee in Feb- ruary 1946. His pastorate of six- teen months was all too short for his many friends at Barium. Mr. Benton is a fine preacher; an excellant pas- tor; and a very capable organizer. He was a_ most efficient scout- master and as- sistant football coach. His influ- ence touched the life at Presbyter- ian Orphans’ Home at every point. The chil- dren loved him and his family and every member of the church was delighted with his services. He and his family will be greatly missed. The good wishes and prayers of the entire community go with him to hiis new and challenging field of service. Goes to Black Mountain Barium Springs is losing one of its landmarks, the Barkley family. Mr. Barkley has been the principal of the Grammer School, basketball coach, and assistant football coach for many years. has been supply teacher and dur- ing the past year has taught the sixth grade most acceptably. We had hoped that the Barkley’s would stay here until they had forgotten th e year they came, or until memory failed, but an op- portunity for larger service presented _ itself and they moved to The Mountain Orphanage at Black Mountain, N. C. The best wishes and love of every one at Barium goes with this family in their new work. We believe that both Mr. and Mrs. Barkley are par- ticularly well qualified to han- dle the job to which they are going. Itisa Presbyterian Or- phanage in the Presbytery of Asheville - a good Mrs. Barkley H. E. BARKLEY place, a good work, and we know these good people will make it better. Mr. Barkley’s successor has not been selected but someone will be secured to carry on the work which he did so well. this family for many a day.

News From Some of the Cottages RUMPLE HALL Hello Friends. Well here we are bringing you what news we have for this month which! isn’t much. Since you last heard from us there has been lots of excitement going on in our cottage about va- cations. Most of us have gone and come back or getting ready to go. Miss Eva Sluder, a former stu- dent, has come to be our matron in the dish hall. We all like her and hope she will be with us for some time. We want to thank Mr. Calhoun for the nice ping-pong set he bought us. We all have fun playing with it. We are sorry to tell you the sad news of one of our Barium boys, the angels came and took him home with the rising of the sun, he went from us into the presence of his Savior. This boy was Richard Hud- dleston, Our news is running short so we will have to say so-long until next month. — The Rumple Hall Girls. Dorothy Surles Mattie Marie Plummer LEES COTTAGE Miss Neely Ford, our matron, is on vacation during the month of July, Miss Alice McConnell from Charlotte is taking her place. She has been teaching us some new games three evenings during the week. She has also been reading King Arthur stories to us and other good stories. We enjoy going in swimming everyday. Lots of the boys have enjoyed two weeks vacation this month. We go to camp in August. We have been picking blackber- ries almost every day for the past two weeks. Although we have pick- ed 300 gallons. Some have been used to make pies which we have en- joyed. The rest are being canned to use this winter. Along with the blackberries we have hiad extra visitors in the form of redbugs. We think Amos Hardy is the best “boss” we have had. He keeps us so busy we don’t have time to ee into mischief. We hope he will ave another good year at David- son. HOWARD COTTAGE We have been enjoying our swim- ming pool these hot afternoons. A few of us can swim and several girls have learned to dive this sum- mer. The time from 2:30 to 3:30 P. M. each day just seems to fly. Miss Richards and Miss Moose have given us two water melon feasts. The babies were going to ioin us for the last one Wednesday afternoon but the rain forced them to stay at home and us to make a retreat to the back porch. From the ladies of Circle Num- ber Six of the First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville we received a generous box of cookies and can- dy. These were very nice to have when we finished stringing beans and were tired and hungry. Sixteen girls have returned from their two weeks of vacation. Jackie Liverman has gone to Hickory Dockory Camp. There she will get to learn new games and handicrafts. Jackie will like to ride the ponies which are named, “Beauty”, “Lucky Star”. “Tony”, “White Rose” and “Chocolate Drop”. The few girls wh do not get va- cations will go to Camp Fellowship. That is always fun. Miss Jackson, our matron, will soon return from her vacation in Virginia. We have missed her and it will be good to have her home at Howard again. Reporter — Carol Jean Andrews ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Hello Friends, Well we are back again bringing you the news from our cottage. Since the last time we wrote you most of our little girls have gone on their vacations. They are back now having as much fun work- ing and playing as much as ever. A few days ago the truck came backing into our house and sat down 25 beds. We are real proud of them and every time some one comes to see us we just have to show them our new beds. Our matron has gone on a va- cation for a month. We miss her but we hope she is enjoying her- self. We have a girl who graduat- ed from Barium now she is work- ing up here this summer. We really like her and will be sorry to see her leave this summer. We are helping the Howard girls string beans and we really like to do them. You will see us again next month and we will probably be getting ready for school. Until next month. — The Annie Louise Girls Barium Springs, N. C. You will find enclosed $ A MEMORIAL GIFT Rev. R. S.

C.: We are having a wonderful time playing in the sun. We are a bic lonely since six of our big brothers moved out to be ready for schoo] and there are only six boys left, but we still have ten little sisters and two big ones and two big mamas to take care of us and believe me they sure do thlat and make us walk the chalk line too. Since our last letter to you two little girls haye come to live with us. They are real little it makes us big boys feel so big to have three little babies live with us. They are cute and we love them. Not many of us got to go on a vacation I guess we are just too little but we will move out very soon and then we will get to go. We have a new matron for the girls and we all love her so much. Miss Moles came to see us July 4th. We sure were glad to see her and wish she would come back to live with us, Ann Wilcox has been gone on a vacation for the past two weeks we are looking for her home today. Florence Andrews, our other big sister will go to camp pretty soon. We had a watermelon party July 8th for Ruby Truelove and Billy Harrison’s birthday. We had a hap- py time. We wish we could have many more melons to slice they are so good. We are so glad to see Mr. John- ston back from his vacation but sorry for Mr. Benton to leave us. We miss him so much. Well bye now. — Baby Cottage Alumni News (Continued From Page One) Business Course in Charlotte spent a few days at Barium. James Shroyer and Anne McDon- ald were married June 18.

The Cruise of the (Continued From Page One) out of bounds and some of the crops were being destroyed. A few weeks later the worst flood in a century crashed down over these lands and through the cen- ter of Missouri, All through Kansas, while the land was level, it rose and we could begin to tell the difference when we crossed over into Colo- rado. Then we began to hit dry country and by the time we reached Denver we had almost forgotten about there being such a thing as rain. The approach to Denver is something which a person whio has seen it can not soon forget. There are clouds in the sky, but as you approach nearer you see that they begin to separate and then you realize that the lower part of those clouds are snow-covered mountains, and as you get nearer and nearer to Denver they become more and more distinct and you be- gin to wonder if you are going to have anything to do with those mountains later on. Well, after spending a delightful half-day and night in and around Denver we started out to find out. Up through Thompson Canyon into the Rocky Mountain National Park we went to an elevation of something over 12,000 feet, and there we saw plenty of that snow. We went through places where the snow plows hiad cut the road through drifts at least twenty feet deep, and we thought it extremely interesting and funny that we would be here on the ninth of June driving through snow drifts. Well, before that day was over it ceased to be too funny because at a place called Rabbit Ear’s Pass we ran into some new snow - a snowstorm, believe it or not, and for twenty-six miles we had some of the toughest going on the whole trip. I am sure that if that snow had laid on the ground there would have been at least six inches of it. At times the road was clogged with stalled cars and our faces were very red for a number reasons when we slid into the ditch ourselves. A highway truck pulled us out. We finally pulled into a town called Steamboat Springs and waited for the snow to stop before proceeding further. That was our introduction to the wonderful state of Colorado. We had an experience climbing the mountain that was in- teresting. As you go up from Den- ver to the high point in the Rocky Mountain National Park you have some wonderful scenes along the road. We pulled out at one of these places and immediately there was a great scurrying among the rocks just below us, and in a few minutes the chipmunks were sitting all around looking at us. Finally, one sickly looking little one crawled up to where we were standing and stood on its hind legs. We gave it a peanut, and in less time than it takes to tell it there was another and another, and finally the old Daddy Rabbit of them all, seeing that we were harmless tourists, came up and filled his jaws with our peanuts. This was the official recognition that we had that we were tourists - a traveling gravy- train to the inhabitants both four- legged and two-legged. It was not an unpleasant experience and we still have a very kindly feeling toward the little chipmunks who recognized us as harmless travel- ers ready to give them a hand-out. As fine as Colorado was we even- tually pulled out of it and into Utah, and there were more inter- esting scenes, all climaxed by Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake. We spent a good part of a day in Salt Lake City. We listened to lec- tures on the Mormon Church and soaked up a lot of their history. It happens that this year they are celebrating the one hundredth an- niversary of their move to Utah. The state of Utah recognizes this and has some words on their auto- mobile license plates which were the words that Brigham Young said when he first laid eyes on the Salt Lake valley - “This is the place.” The whole state of Utah seems to be dominated by this Church! and they have done some wonderful things - things of which any church might be proud. They certainly started from scratch in that dry, harsh country and have made a garden spot of it. We thought of this as we left their beautiful city, journeyed out by the Great Salt Lake and the Great Salt Lake De- sert. There we saw geology of re- cent times. You can see the out- line on the mountains of the an- cient shore-line of Salt Lake when it used to be one thousand feet deeper than it is now. All of that was wonderful but we hadn’t seen anything yet when it comes to studying geology. .After leaving JULY 1947 this state we bounced into a state that instead of being organized around a Church and its religion, was one that very frankly derives its revenues from the weaknesses of men - the state of Nevada. The sign that greeted us as we entered this state was something like this- “Nevada - the state that has no ad-valorem tax, no license tax, no gas tax, no sales tax.” We happen to know that the revenue of the state is largely derived from gam- bling machines and liquor sales, so you could just feel the differ- ence when you commenced to cir- culate in Nevada. In some of the other places we had been there was an eating house in the front with a gambling house in the back: in Nevada the gambling house was in front and the eating place was in the back and the slot machines were in evidence everywhere we went. We spent our first night in Nevada at Ely. We did not know a thing about the town before we got there, but found it to be one of the most interesting places on our trip. We could spend a lot of time talking about Nevada. I had just read an article by ex-president Herbert Hoover in which he said that the United States was unable to feed the whole world and itself too. He made a rathler depressing picture of it. Well, I wonder if he had ever traveled through Nevada. There is enough land there which does not seem to have any inhabi- tants on it at all that might be ir- rigated and turned to use that would feed a good part of the world by itself. Nevada, one of the largest states, has less people in it than one good sized North Caro- lina city. One of the most remarkable things about traveling in this state is what it does to your eyes. After we entered Nevada at Wendover we entered a valley which appear- ed to us to be about two miles wide and to have a lake at the lower part of it. We found that that val- ley was fifteen miles wide and that the lake at the bottom was a mir- age. We crossed a small mountain range and into another valley ten miles wide with a mirage lake in the bottom. We crossed so many of these between Wendover and Ely that we lost count. The land in these valleys was practically level. There was no sign of a person or anything alive but prairie dogs and an occasional squirrel. At one place a coyote took a look at us and seemed inclined to trot along beside us just for company, but gave up the job after a little while. We passed only one town in the hun- dred miles between Wendover and Ely - that was McGill, Nevada, and we could see its lights twenty miles before we reached it. It snow- ed on uS a little as we entered Ely and the next morning it was rath- er cool. As we left the town we came to a sign in the road which said that nearby was the biggest man-made hole in the world. We had to investigate. It turned out to be a copper mine and we ure will- ing to admit that it was certainly the biggest hole we ever saw, man- made or otherwise, up to that time. It started out to be a mountain but they had mined the copper ore with steam shovels, hauling the waste and dumping it in a valley and now the valley is a mountain and the mountain is a hole in the ground. I would not say how deep that hole is, but there were at least twenty levels with a railroad track on each level. While we were there a train with a crew had started and was about half-way down. We under- stand that it takes about an hour and a half to go from the top level to the bottom level. Well, we must not stay too long at Ely. Our next stop was at Carson City where we landed early in the afternoon. We secured a place to stop and then set out to explore Lake Tahoe which lies partly in California and partly in Nevada. We drove completely around this lake - 74 miles. It is * (Continued On Page Three) a ee ee ee a ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ou t om ’ om ae . a ee a ee ee ee ee e ee e ee ee ee Qo .

I asked one of the people there what became of that river and he said it just disappeared or dried up out in the desert - it did not get anywhere. This is a very deep lake with whole mountain ranges in it and the color of the water is beautiful. In driving a- round it you see it from highland and from lowland, in places you almost look straight down into it and it is a wonderful place. We think of Lake Waccamaw and White Lake as being pretty good- sized springs, but neither of these would make any impression on Lake Tahoe at all. The next day we left Carson City and set out for Yosemite Val- ley. On the way we passed Lake Muno and that is an amazing lake - it has no outlet, it is not salt, it is alkali, the alkali is so strong in it that it sometimes crystalizes on the surface and this makes it look as though it were frozen over in spots. We will have to talk a little geology to explain that lake. Whien the Rocky Mountains were being pushed up and the things that after- wards became the Yosemite and the Grand Canyon and other places were rising up, part of it slipped and fell back. Geologists call it a “fault”, and on one of these places is what is now Lake Mono. After leaving this place we started to climb and if any of you have an idea that you have done mountain climbing in a car by go- ing up from Old Fort to Black Mountain, or from North Wilkes- boro to Sparta, don’t say anything about it until you have gone from Lake Mono to Tioga Pass - it is equivalent to climbing up the top of Mount Mitchell and then climb- ing the same height - it is over 10,000 feet when we get up there and the road is steep and narrow and sometimes there appears to be nothing but air under you. It look- ed terrifying to us on tlie way up. I know it must hlave looked twice as terrifying to anyone coming down. We happened to have the inside track going up and we met a man who would have to pass us on the outside. He just couldn’t take it - he pulled over against the wall or precipice and waved us to pass him on the outside which was to his left. So much for that. We landed in this part of the Yosemite Park - over 10,000 feet. There was snow there. The ranger described the road we would take to get down - he said it was a one- track road and had just been open- ed for a week, that is the snow had just been cleared off of it, and we would have to look out for up-com- ing cars as those coming up have the right of way. In other words, if we should be on a narrow place and meet a car coming we would have to climb a tree with our car to let him pass. It sounded dangerous and we would not re- commend that twenty-six miles which starts you down as just an everyday pleasure drive. However, it was fun. We got our first glimps- es of the deer there although they did not bother us - they did later on when we had to stop twice to let the deer get out of the road. We couldn’t understand this at first, but we believe that the deer had been reading the literature that they have in all of the parks in- forming all of the people who come to the Park that they are not al- lowed to harm any of the wild ani- mals, so the deer naturally know that we cannot harm them even with an automobile, and they are not in too big a hurry about get- ting out of the road. We finally landed down in the Yosemite Valley, climbing down (by road, of course) through the northern side of the gorge. We had a most delightful day there. There are so many things about ‘it that it would take too much space just to tell all the things that we saw and heard in this marvellous place. We learned some geology. We had always looked on Stone Mountain as being a pretty respectable chunk of granite. We had even heard it said that it was the biggest chunk of granite in the world. Well, the Yosemite Park which! is the size of a fair-sized county is just one chunk of granite which a little river cut a slice through. The last thing we enjoyed in the day in the Yosemite was the fire fall. We sat at the base of a cliff and saw the pouring of live coals over a precipice at Glacier Point. it had the appearance of a falls just like it were water - a most impressive sight and something of nightly occurrence in the Yose- mite. The place where this went over the top was just a mile and a half from where we sat. The next morning we drove thirty-five miles to reach that point and eat break- fast. Later on in thiat day we went to the grove of the big trees that are in the Yosemite Park and drove through the big tree that has a highway cut through it and hliad our pictures made to prove that we had been there. Then we left the highland and went down into the valley. We had been living up high so long that we had gotten used to the cool and rarefied air, and it made the San Juacin Valley seem oppressively hot and close and we did not spend too much time there as we drove right on to San Francisco. San Francisco is a magic city and man has added two wonderful things to it - the two bridges. We stayed about equidistant from the two, maybe a little nearer the Golden Gate Bridge. We drove a- cross both bridges several times. They seemed more wonderful every time we went on them. Alcatraz, the most famous prison in the United States, was in the Bay in easy sight of where we stayed. Ann Fayssoux, our daughter, was our hostess and guide in San Francis- co and the ten days we spent there were busy, delightful days. The Golden Gate Park, The Cliff House, the cable cars, Fort Mason, Trea- sure Island, Oakland, Berkley, the terry over to Berkley, the fisher- man’s warf, Nob Hill, Chinatown. A too brief summary and not near- ly inclusive enough, One of the most wonderful things about San Fran- cisco is the intense loyalty of every- body we met. I took the car to a garage for a check-up. The man in charge was originally from Cleveland, Ohio. I discussed with him some of the difficulties of an Easterner understanding the traf- fic regulations in San Francisco. He said, “They are the worst of any place in the world, but if you stay here long enough you will get used to it but if you stay here that long you will never be able to leave the blankety-blank place you will be so in love with it then that no other place on earth will satisfy you.” While in San Francisco we had a meal at the famous Omar Khay- yam: we saw a show at one of the big opera houses: we went to the Standard Oil Hour with! its big symphony orchestra: we went to see the Ice Follies - the very tops in entertainment: we rode the ferry to Oakland. Leila and David Mor- ris went to Sacramento for a side- trip. We spent a hlalf a day in the Zoo until the monkeys were al- most ready to claim kin with us, and we left San Francisco feeling that we had not begun to see all that was to be seen. Leila went off to Los Angeles for a day, flying down and arranging to meet us at Bakersfield, so she missed one of the most delightful days of that trip. That was when Lt. Eston Lackey took me over the Navy Yard, into a submarine, all through a big airplane carrier, and all over Treasure Island which now belongs to the Navy. We saw the wreck of the airplane carrier, Independence, which was one of the smashled up vessels in the Bikini bomb test. We met Eston’s wife, baby and little step-daughter - a delightful family. On Sunday we had a visit from Betty Lou Hooten who has grown taller and prettier than she even was at Bariam. On Monday, June 23rd, we bade farewell to San Francisco and journeyed down the pennisula through the hottest, dryest eoun- try I think I have ever seen, We followed a river, the Salina: and it had big bridges across it both for railroads and for highways, but not a drop of water in it. As a matter of fact, in that part of California there is far more oil than there is water and yet the country is low and the production of crops is tremendous - all irriga- ted. Bakersfield is the center of the California oil fields and when you leave there to go East they really talk of your going on to the desert. We thought we had been in dry country before but we did not know the half of it. Most people carry an extra supply of water, not only to drink but to feed the automobile, as the water in the radiator usually boils out before you are half way across. Our little car behaved nice- ly, however, and we did not have to pamper it but that thermos bottle that was so thoughtfully given us when we started our trip saved our lives many a time. We would fill it up every time we stopped and drink that cool ice water be- tween stops. We finally left California and went back into Nevada to Los Ve- gas and then to Boulder City and the Hogver Dam, spending the night there and having a most in- teresting day going through that big enterprise. You go down an elevator from the top of the dam down to the level of the power- house. A guide takes you down and explains everything to you. I won’t attempt to do that here except for the wonderful feeling that man had within the last ten years conquered that Colorado River and put it to use. Before that it was a destruc- tive thing, destroying more than it helped. Now it not only yields electricity but it has stopped flood danger and_ supplies irrigation water for enormous sections of thle country and water for the city of Los Angeles. Before we arrived there we had begun to realize the absolute importance of water to that section of our country. After our day at Boulder we drove to the Grand Canyon, and there had another thrilling day. Mrs. Johnston and Leila gave me an extra thrill in paying my way on an airplane which spent about thirty minutes over the center of the Grand Canyon. You konw this Canyon is so big that you cannot see the river from the top - you know that the river has cut the Canyon and you want to see it, but it is hidden by the trench! that it has dug but from an airplane you can see it plainly and it is a wonderful thing. There we had another lesson in geology which was most interesting. It made us believe that the Yosemite was just a recent occurrence - that thirty million years was all it took to do the job - whereas the Grand Can- yon took at least a billion and a half. From the Grand Canyon we had hoped to spend the night at Flag- staff, Arizonia, but were unable to get a place to stay so we missed several interesting things - Sunset Mountain and the Metoir Crater near Winslow but we might have spent too much time if we had lin- gered. We went on to the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert and the reason people don’t talk about those things so much is because nobody would believe them. We brought back a little piece of pet- rified wood to prove that there was such a thing as the Petrified Forest, but there is no way to prove anything about the Painted Desert. We were still passing rivers that had no water in them and the first THE BARIUM MESSENGER time we commenced to find water was when we reached Albuquerque. There the Rio Grande at this time of year has a little water in it, but we understand that it dries up by midsummer. Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico are wonderful states. We won’t attempt to describe Texas although we went clear across the Panhandle without having to spend the night in it. We did not see enough to really know about Texas. This country through there is another great wheat section and we hit it right at the time when combines were in action on every hand. The grain elevators were busy and the roads were ful] of trucks hauling wheat to these ele- vators. Certainly going through Kansas and coming back through Oklahoma and Texas, a person could not be afraid of running out of bread. We spent a night in Al- buquerque, and our next night in Elk City, Oklahoma. In the morning there I turned my radio on to get the news, and whit should I get but the “Voice of Carolina” - it was the Briarhoppers from WBT in Charlotte - and didn’t they sound good! Claude Casey, Fred Kirby and all the others with Kirk Web- ster announcing. The station tuned in on was Wichita Falls. This was Sunday morning, June 29th. We journeyed on, stopping for church at Oklahoma City and then on to Fort Smith for the night. The womenfolk of the party had pretty well had their way about what we should look at and what we should miss, but I was deter- mined to show them some North Carolina doings that would at least compare with things like Boulder Dam and the big bridges in San Francisco, so we set Fontana Dam as the place we would stop last. On leaving Fort Smith we decided to see some of the Tennessee Valley doings. We dropped down into Mis- sissippi and spent the night at a little town called Iuka; it is the county seat and is about thle size of Troutman and full of good, friendly folks. They told us a lot about the Pickwick Landings Dam and the other Dams so that the next morning we were prepared to enjoy seeing the Wilson Dam at Florence and driving across the Wheeler Dam and soaking up a lot of information about the var- ious dams that had made the old red dangerous Tennessee River a series of lakes. Forty-two years ago I was in Sheffield, Alabama. At that time the Tennessee River could not be used for anything. It was a danger in flood time and it was too shallow in dry times to support any ships. It was a menace. Now it not only furnishes navigation all the way to Knoxville, Tennessee, but it protects that whole land from floods and helps to control the Ohio River so that it ceases to be a menace from Paducah down. We spent the entire day sight-seeing in the valley, finally arriving at Chattanooga and getting a bird’s eye view of the city from Lookout Mountain. We spent the night there in a delightful Motor Court and then set out for N. C. We passed through a section of country which is slowly being brought back to life. It is around Ducktown, Tennessee, where there is a copper smelter. For years the fumes from the cop- per refinery were allowed to settle on the country which destroyed all the vegetation - not a living piece of grass, tree or shrub remained, and the land washed away. Now the TVA is getting trees and grass started back on that land. We passed some wonderful dams and finally arrived at Fontana. Fontana is the fourth highest dam in the world. It dams up the little Tennessee, the Nantahala, and the Tuckeseegee rivers, and creates a lake over thirty miles long. After a delightful day and night there, Mrs. Johnston and Leila took a boat and proceeded up the lake to Bryson City. I took the car and traveled sixty-five miles around JULY 1947 the mountains to meet them there. Then on to Montreat and home by nine o’clock, and the nearer we came to Barium Springs the bet- ter the air seemed to feel and thie happier we became. We came back with memories of wonderful things, No longer do we think of the United States as an old, settled cauntry. It is a young vigorous country and we are just now commencing to do things with it. When you look at the Grand Canyon and the Yosemite and the other marvels of nature it makes you feel mighty small; then when you see things like Boulder Dam, the big bridges in San Fran- cisco, and the miracle that the TVA has accomplished, you are grateful that God has permitted his little creatures, men, to do things like that. All of these things have been accomplished within the last fif- teen years, and there are so many more things to accomplish. For in- stance, as we crossed the Missis- sippi on the way home all the land above us was in distress. We cross- ed at Memphis, but at St. Louis and all above there they were suf- fering a flood - a flood such as used to devastate the Tennessee Valley and the lower reaches of the Colo- rado. Now those things are under control - surely within the next few years men will be able to con- trol the Missouri and the Mississip- pi and the Ohio and other lesser streams. Another thing that impressed us was the kindliness of people. We don’t think we came across an ill- tempered person on the whole trip. They were busy - sometimes they were inclined to charge too much for the things that we needed - but, all in all, they met us with a smile, served us well, and waved us on as good neighbors. We crossed state lines - many of them - going into twenty states altogether and only once were we stopped - that was for an inspection to see if we were carrying any fruit. Every time we passed one of these lines we could not help but think of what it meant in other countries to cross from one commonwealth to another where passports, visas, and all those sort of things were neces- sary. Surely God has wonderfully blessed our nation. We attended worship in Love- land, in San’ Francisco, and in Oklahoma City, twice in big church- es, once in a post chapel, and once in a little church where the congregation was so small that the pastor met each member at the door when they came in, gave them a hymnbook, and carried on a con- versation with different members all during the service. There was real religion there and you could feel it, even though the church was small and the congregation was few in number. The best part of the trip was in getting back to Barium and seeing how well things had gone along in my absence. I really beleive that it did Barium more good to be rid of me for a time than it did me to be rid of Barium. That’s an idea! Don’t talk it too much, however!

Arrowood I Cor. 12:31, But Covet earnestly the best gifts. Dominant Desires We all have desires - Those de- sires are mingled. We have good desires and bad desires. They often conflict. That was the experience of the Apostle Paul. He says, “For the good that I would I do not, but the evil that I would not I do.” There are sometimes conflict be- tween desires which are both good. The Apostle Paul had a desire to remain on earth for the good of his work. He also had a desire to depart and be with Christ. Now the desires which are strongest and so control us we call dominant desires. Dominant Desires tend to attain their objects. Little can be accomplished in life without an earnest desire. Robert Burns the poet did much for his country Scotland. He tells a 7 dominant desire of his child- ood. “E’en then a wish (I mind its pow- er) A wish that to my latest hour Shall strongly heave my breast, That I for poor auld Scotland’s sake Some useful plan or book could make Or sing a song at least.” A greater Scotchman was John Knox. He changed the life of Scot- land; gave a plan for public schools established a Church goverment; gave a tremendous impression up- on the world so that his ideals had much to do with establishing the free institutions in America. The great burden of John Knox was uttered in his prayers, “Lord give me Scotland or I die.” The great Dominant Desire of Christ he expressed in these words, “In the volume of the book it is written of me I have come to do Thy will O my God”. Do we won- der that from the excellent glory (Continued On Page Three) Vacation Hangover (The Pleasant Kind) The account of our vacation trip to the West Coast brought so many letters that I feel I must make some acknowledgment in this paper. At first I attempted to acknow- ledge all the letters that came in but, believe it or not, too many of them came in for that, so this is a public acknowledgment and thanks to those who wrote in or called in about that article in last month’s Messenger. It is most gratifying to know that so many people even read the Messenger, and stil! more gratify- ing that so many people are inter- ested in the movements of us here at Barium. Many people wrote in who had made a trip something like that. They had stopped at some of the same places and the article stirred up pleasant memories. Let- ters from others told of planning to make such a trip and they were inclined to follow the same routing that we used to such good profit. One man wrote in even threatening to enter suit since our description of the trip had created so much enthusiasm in his family that he saw he was going to hiave to send or take them on that same trip and it was going to cost him a lot of money. He felt that he had a justi- fiable suit against me for stirring up all that enthusiasm! Of course, that was all in fun. There is nothing we like to do more than to meet old friends and to make new ones, and this trip was so prolific in both of those - not only thle trip itself but the tell- (Continued On Page Three) BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C... AuGusr 1947 é It Prints The Barium Messenger 1 OU, ER, CIE i ete ee a ee The pictures which we present in the Messenger are usually of people. This time it is a picture of a machine at work - a very important machine - it prints the Messenger for you every month. Ordinarily, it is a right good-natured bunch of metal, but there are times when it is just as cantankerous as flesh and blood. There was a time when the Mcssenger was quite a young publication and the type was set by hand and printed on a hand-fed press. It took a lot of doing to get it ready but the mailing list was not so large, so we managed to get it out on time every month - that is most every month. One time a boy was carrying the forms to the press and stumped his toe and drop- ped the type which had been set up for one whole page. The echoes of the groan that went up in the printing office still resound at J3arium. That was a calamity of the first water. The type was pied - it had to be picked up and separ:.ted and then reset, and such a time that turned out t» be. As time went on a linotype machine was put in and that made the type-setting easier, but it did not make the printing any easier, and as the mailing list grew from five thousand to ten thousand to fif- teen thousand and finally to twenty thousand it was quite a job to get that paper out. Then we installed this completely automatic press. You are supposed to pile the paper on top of it and it feeds itself, prints the paper and deposits it on a platform. All you have to do is to pick that paper up again and put it on top and let it run through and print the other side, just as simple as that. Well, that sounds nice and the boy can just stand there and look on as the paper goes through when everything is working right, but there are some five hundred different things that can go wrong in this piece of machinery. The paper can be too dry and get static in it, or the ink can act bad, or the feeding apparatus can get out of fix, or the paper sticks to the rollers. Mr. Kyles, who is the head of the printing department is entirely bald on top of his head. He is the only member of his family who has lost his hair. It did not fall out - it was pulled out just a little bit at a time when this big machine would take a notion to have a bad day. However, Mr. Kyles still has some hair left and an enormous amount of patience, and as a re- sult this machine behaves nicely most of the time. Once a month it prints enough Messengers for a mailing list of twenty-five thousand. It prints our Annuals, and does a lot of other special work in the course of the year. It is like the little girl with the curl right in the middle of her forehead, when it is good it is very, very good, and when it is bad it is horrid. School at Barium To Open Aug. 28 on Dr. A. T.

This is the largest working de- partment at Barium. It is sub- divided into three groups, all of which are under the general super- vision of Mr. John W. Ervin. The three subdivisions are as follows: The Campus group, the plumbing and Electrical group and the Car- penter group.

They are kept busy repairing bath rooms, fixing faulty wiring, broken irons, supplying the campus with light bulbs and other electrical appli- ances. This summers work has been composed largely of installing plumbing in the chicken farm at- tendents’ house, wiring the new shop and moving in, cleaning the water tank. They are right now in the midst of putting a new wall in the cold storage. This group is one the campus could not do without.

The campus group. This group has twenty nine boys on it, and is directed by Mr. R. E. Jackins. It is more an_ occupational group; formed to give boys from 9-12 years of age something to keep them busy and prepare them for heavier work, There are three larger boys who do the heavier work and Amos Hardy, a Davidson College student, who is “foreman” of the smaller boys. He sees that the lighter work is done. As the name would imply, the campus group keeps the cam- pus clean. They water shrubs and new trees that have just been set out, clean the drainage gutters, cut weeds, and pick black berries that are taken to the kitchen and served. They have just completed the hard job of clearing the fence of vines which obstructed the view and also distracted from the campus. This work is valuable; not only for what the group accomplishes, but also for the training and experience the boys receive in working as a group among many groups. The third and last group is the Carpenter’s group. It has the larg- est number of high school boys and older men than any of the other groups in the department. On it there are nine high school boys, who are: Jack Clark, Jack Man- gum, Jerry Young, Johnny Merony Kenneth Walker, Kenneth Manus, James Wheeler, Paul Barnes, and Charles Barrett; four Carpenter employees, who are: Mr. M. F. Gabriel, Mr. T. A. Rumple, Mr. Joe Ben Gibbs, and Mr. Roscoe Smith. The last two named are Barium graduates. This is directed by Mr. John W. Ervin. The Car- penter’s group does all repair work on the buildings, such as painting plastering and they also repair furniture. They construct most of the buildings, except the domitor- ies and main buildings. This sum- mer we have had experience in all Barium Springs, N. C. You will find enclosed $ EAnnnAnANnReREmnNnn A MEMORIAL GIFT Rev. R. 8. Arrowood, Treasurer, Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, three types of work; Constructive, destructive, and cleaning up. First we have built a nice dual bus ga- rage for our two new buses. We have completed our large new shiop which has a large basement for the plumbing group. I don’t be- lieve my group would like it if I didn’t brag a little on the new shop. The building is very well construct- ed and will look better after it has the green lawn growing in front of it. Most of the machines in jt are new and when the rest come in we will be able to do the finest type cabinet work. In the back of the shop are two large rooms and a bath room completed with a show- er bath. There is plenty of room and it will be a great improvement over the old shiop. Another item we are now work- ing on is our warehouse, It is to the right of the shop, and will be a storage house for our lumber. I'll give you a brief summary of the work we’ve done this summer besides what I have already named. We have repaired, plastered, paint- ed ,and varnished the Lowrance house. The swimming pool got its first coat of paint. Claude Stin- son’s house has a new coat of paint along with the dairy barn fences the dairy barn, and Jennie Gilmer basement. Mr. Johnston’s roof has been painted and now plans are in pro- gress to do the same to Annie Louise Cottage. Some of our sum- mer work, that hasn’t yet been completed is painting all the chick- en houses, and major repairs on the Barkley and White residences. The work and training that one gets on one of these groups largely takes the place of the vocational training that is taught in other schools. These groups, although separat- ed in name are not independant of the other groups. Each group is in constant need of the other, and by cooperating, we gain a smooth working department. —Charles Barrett in memory of "ADDRESS NAME OF DECEASED " SURVIVOR TO BE WRITTEN "DATE OF DEATH ADDRESS RELATIONSHIP OF SURVIVOR TO DECEASED ONE GIVING MEMORIAL ADDRESS LODO xlmxmmmln mer SN A ID PPP PPPS PPP PIII ANNIE Louise COTTAGE Hello Friends, Here we are hack again to tell you every thing that has happened since last month.

The first thing we did was to put lipstick and finger nail polish all over us. We kept it on al] week and we still can’t see how the girl’s and boy’s who went down to look after us put up with ys, but I guess when they saw how we looked they just wondered what we would look like in 3 or 4 more years. But we still had a good time going in swim- ming and everything that goes with camp even with our looks. Now we are back and looking forward for school to start and the teachers coming back, Our flower garden is real pretty now. We have flowers all over the house. We have one little new girl to live with us. Her name is Bernice Kuykendall. We are very glad to have her live with us. Until next month. —Annie Louise Girls BABY COTTAGE Dear Friends, So much has happened to us this month we hardly know where to begin. First of all, Mama Nelson has been on her vacation for a whole month, We missed her very much, but Miss Cloyce Moose was a very good substitute. We hope she has enjoyed being with us as much as we have enjoyed having her. We have been swimming lots of times this month when the weather was good and hot. We are all crazy about the water and some of us boys think we already know how to swim. ‘Miss Richards, our matron up- stairs for the girls, and Miss Moose gave us a birthday party and we invited Mr. Johnston and Miss Carpenter. The cake was mighty pretty and also good! We all had such) a nice time! Our two big sisters - Florence Andrews and Anne Wilcox - are out at camp this week. Elsie Vest and Callie Dunn are helping keep us nice and clean, A mighty big job, isn’t it Elsie and Callie? All of us girls have had a short hair cut and you should see us now. Some of us hated to part with our curls, but we all look and feel very cool now, Wonder if everybody has had as much watermelon as we hlave had lately? We are beginning to lose count of the number we have had now, but we can tell you they all have been very, very good! Linda Lee Byrd, our next to thie youngest baby, + just about to out Weigh us all, She is two years old and weighs forty pounds. We all like to tease her about swal- lowing a watermelon seed and it is taking root in her “tummy”. We have been to the movies several times this month in our big yellow bus, It is just lots of fun to go riding in it and especially when we get to go to the show. Paul Horne took us out to camp in it, and oh boy - did we have a grand time. We played in the sand until we Zot so dirty that Miss Richards could hardly tell us apart when we got ready to leave. Well folks, this is all the news for this time. Look for us again next month when we will be back to tell you more about our good times. Until then - so long. —tThe Babies ’ a LEES COTTAGE Vacation is over and we are look- ing forward to starting back to school. All the boys in our cottage went to camp for a week and we sure did have fun. We went swimming twice a day and some of us went boat-riding, We enjoyed having Miss MeCon- nell with us during July, hlope she can come back next summer, Charles and Ray Smith’s mother visited them Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Beard and Mr. and Mrs. West came with her. They brought us ham and chicken and we had a picnic supper. Thank you folks, We have been working at the office, fixing the yard. Miss Car- penter is going to put out some pansy plants. We will be practicing football soon and then we will have fun. Will have more to tell you next month. ‘ —Lees Boys INFIRMARY Here we are bringing you the news from Sick Bay. We have all returned from va- cations and camp. The seniors were in charge of camp this year and we want them to know we had a won- derful time. The men of our cottage are back to live with us again and we are very glad to have them. Louise Harwell had a visit from her father and grandmother Sat- urday. One of our girls, Vivian Jacu- min left us to make her home with her sister in Valdese. We still have Melva, Marie, Haz- el and Louise to nurse the sick. We are having a few sick peo- ple mostly sore throats and sore ears, nothing really serious. Well guess we will say so long until next month. — Marie Andrews Melva Powell SEWING ROOM Hello Dear Friends, We have just returned from a two weeks leave of absence to bring you the latest news from the Sewing Room. Mrs. Smith has just returned from a two weeks rest period which we think she deserved very much after struggling through the sum- mer with us. All of us had the privelege of being councilors at Camp Fellow- ship this year. We enjoyed our- selves very much and we hope the children did even more. Lu. Stricklin is walking around with her head in the clouds. The reason, too many long distance calls from the air corps boy lately. Sadie Buie is busy collecting pictures from the sports page of the newspaper, Thiaat’s the reason she hasn’t been sewing so much, We never see “Ernie” Baldwin at night. We wonder why? Every- one is guessing. Bradly Manus and Lu. Strick. have been “feuding and fighting” over who they were going to in- vite to the Virginia Hall Social. Mildred Monroe is wearing a class ring on her left hand. Is it the Marine from Camp Lejeune? Betty Jo Smith is wondering if a certain team will enter the bas- ketball tournament this year. Kinda early, aren,t you Jo? Peggy Coffey has been hearing from a Marine lately, so we hear. What are you holding back on us, Pug? Betty Coffey is busy thinking about the Kentucky Derby and a horse named Don. She doesn’t think he’s much of a horse though. Va. Presnell has been dressing up even to come to work lately. Wonder why? Could it be some one is next door? The people on the second camp all ran out to greet Pear] when she came to visit us. The gravey cer- tainly looked better. It looked more like gravey than it did the day before. Isn’t that right, Lu? If we don’t stop it'll take the AUGUST 1947 whole Barium Messenger for us alone. What would everyone else do? Look for us next month. — The Sewing Room Girls HOWARD COTTAGE Hello Folks, Drop by sometime and see our house, it has been varnished and it looks so pretty. We went to camp August fourth and we had the best time. When we had to come back some of the girls almost cried. We have a new girl at our eot- tage, her name is Catherine Kuy- kendall, All of our girls went on a vaca- tion except four, their names are Shirley Shaw, Betty Lou Johnson, Shirley Jean Byrd and Carol Jean Andrews. They went to the show with the Baby Cottage and rode around with Miss Carpenter. Miss Moose is coming over to live with us this winter. We are glad to have her, We have six music students, Louise Bradshaw, Shirley Byrd, Linda Inman, Lois Dellinger Mar- garet Hucks and Larua Jane Craig. We can hardly wait for school to start. —The Bean Stringers SYNOD’S COTTAGE Hello Everybody, August is always a month of hap- piness for the Synod boys. The first week was spent at Camp Fel- lowship under the watchful eyes of Miss Dewie Buie and it was an event that we will always cherish and we have resolved to be good “Little Men” so we will be allowed to go again next year. We boated, swam and some of us fished, and we all hunted for uncle Remus and all of his animal friends, but most of all we surely did eat, and at bedtime we were lulled to sleep by the water from the river flow- ing over the shoals. Louise Campbell and Shirley In- man our big sisters went to the second week of camp, reporting much fun and a most satisfactory rest and recreation period. Mrs. Arrowood gave a see-saw to the boys of Synod’s and Lees Cottage and we sure do thank her for it. The board is just a bit short (all the 26 little boys can’t get on it at the same time) so we left it out in the rain hoping it will grow. We are indebted to Miss Alice McConnell for the lovely book, to be used in aur devotional period. “Three Minutes With! God.” We remember her kindness and stories she told us. The following conversation was overheard by our matron: George Truelove: “Miss McCon- nell you tell stories so good, you must be Uncle Remus.” Jimmy Campbell: “George, she can’t be Uncle Remus.” George: “Maybe shie Remus.” Jimmy Campbell, Walter Plyler, and George Truelove ail had birth- days and enjoyed the traditional spanking, George is still laugh- ing. We, Nat Craig, David Reid, Mel- vin Cannon, Richard Blackburn, Ralph Huddleston, Donnie Harri- son, and Larry Terry have started our fall football training, by eating our food well so in eight years we shall be able to be on the varsity team. is Mrs. The wigglers signing off. Good-bye. RUMPLE HALL Hello Friends, Here we are again, all back from vacations and camp, ready to start school again which! starts August 28th. August 11, we went to Camp Fel- lowship to spend a week. The sen- iors and Miss Carpenter were in charge, and oh boy! what a good time they did give us. Mrs. Craig, our upstairs matron, has come back from her vacation and we are glad to have her back.

The quads are very glad to have two new house keepers, Mrs. J. D. Lackey and Mrs. White. We know they will do their best to keep the buildings clean. Peaches are now in full swing and everyone is enjoying them. Mr. Jackins just got back from his two weeks vacation at the beach, Paul Horne, a Davidson student, took over his work. —Reporters, Jim and Rufus. WOMAN’S BUILDING Dear Friends, Since we are all back from our vacations and camp we have be- gun thinking of school which is not very far off. I believe every one of the boys and girls are ex- cited about its beginning. We are all very happy that we have gotten our house cleaned up, the halls upstairs and down stairs have been varnished. They shine so well that you can almost see yourself in them. Mrs. Bryant is now taking hier vacation during the month of Au- gust. We all hope that she gets plenty of rest. The campus seems natural to have Mr. Calhoun back from his vacation. So long until next month. —Elizabeth Johnson, PRINTING NEWS All of our valuable men are back with us as the motors start rolling again for the messenger, We are all postive that our crew members had a grand vacation. Two of our important members have just ar- rived from their week at Camp Fellowship, where we had a most enjoyable and pleasant week. Since June, something new has been added. He happens to be the one and only Rufus W. C. Clark, we cordially welcome him to our staff. We say good-bye until Sep- tember. —Donald Mitchell JENNIE GIMER Hello Everyone, Our vacation and camping days are over now and we all have many pleasant memories of the times we've had all summer. Our thoughts are turning toward school and foot- ball. Practice begins to-morrow for football, and that is the type of work we all enjoy. We missed Mr. and Mrs. John- ston the month they were gone, but are glad they could make the trip. We read all about the good times they had in the last Messen- ger, One of the circles in Mooresville has been doing so many nice things for our cottage. We want to thank them all and especially Mrs. Mel- choir for the books, candy, and the birthday gifts for the boys. Well, we wish you all the best of everything until ncxt time. —The Jennie Gilmer Boys. THE MINISTER’S CAR Isn’t it about time you elders, deacons and members of our churches waked up to the fact, that your pastor’s car is just as essen- tially a part of your church equip- ment as your building, organ, pianoes, furnace and the like? It has a vital place in the life of your church, It is used not just on Sun- days and a few times in the week. It is used every day, night and day, to carry forward the word of the Kingdom. It makes possible for your minister in pastoral visiting, to cover a wide area in the shortest time possible, and to meet promptly emergency calls. It is a constant moving force for mercy, right- eousness and loving-kindness. It is an essential part of the life of the modern church. Face the facts of the cost and maintenance of an automobile in constant use and service. From actual experience, I know that the cost of purchase, and maintenance of a low priced car averages around $500-600 a year. This, of course, includes running expenses, depreciation, insurance and replacements. Your minister gives, as you do, to every phase of the life of your church. He has un- numbered calls upon him for charity which come to him because he is your representative. Is it fair to him to ask to shoulder, in addition, the expense of $500-$600 a year, to purchase and maintain a car, which is used almost exclusively for the good of your church or mission ? — The Presbyterian Outlook. IMMORTALITY Death is not the end; it is only a new beginning. Death is not the master of the house; he is only thle porter at the King’s lodge, appoint- ed to open the gate and let in the King’s guests into the realm of eternal day. And so shall we be ever with the Lord. And so the range of three score years and ten is not the limit of our life. Our life is not a ljand-locked lake enclosed within the shore lines of seventy years, It is an arm of the sea, and where the shore-lines seem to meet in old age, they open out into the infinite. And so we must build for those larger waters. We must lay our life plans on the scale of the infinite, not as though we were only pilgrams of time, but as children of eternity! We are immortal! How, then, shall we live today in pros- pect of the eternal morrow? — John Henry Jowett in the Watchman-Examiner. NO TIME I have no time to find fault with others, I have too many faults of my own; While I, myself may not know them I’m sure to others they’re known. I have no time for idle gossip, It may all be a lie, And soon the story will die out If everyone passes it by. I have no time to believe every- thing I hear, And to others the story repeat; I would rather obey the Golden Ruie And be kind to all whom I meet. I have no time to listen to those who tell Something to stir up strife. Far better to tell of good deeds done And brighten the journey of life. I have no time to be moody and lonely, No time to be gloomy and sad. It takes all my spare time planning How I can help make others glad. BIRDS The merry singing of the birds, Ts wonderful to hear. The song must have such pretty words, For a melody so dear. If ever you've listened to a bird, Singing so brave and strong, It’s the prettiest sound you’ve ever heard Singing such a merry song. Whenever you are down and out, And ready for a tear, A bird’s song says, “Cheer up, Cheer up; Be happy now for Spring is here!” —Kathleen Monroe THE BARIUM MEssr 5 EEEEEEE:-,E-»«_-7;,,,,—<——————————————————— ee Clothing and Clothing Funds DUE March - September Alumni News (Continued From Page One) Church.

Vacation Hangover (Continued From Page One) ing of it afterwards, that we are more firmly convinced than ever that it is our duty to make a trip like this every year, so look out! If this ever becomes boresome, re- member a lot of you had a hand in bringing it on yourselves. When you come to think of it our trip only touched twenty states and there are forty-eight states in this big Union of ours. That is material for several years of such tripseas we made, and in every part of this nation there are things to thrill] and inspire one. It would be interesting to get on a boat at New Orleans and ride out to open sea in the St. Lawrence - NGER that can be done; or to take a boat at Pittsburgh and finally land at Knoxville, Tennessee, or up the Missouri just as far as you like to go. It takes time for these things, but wouldn’t it be fun? While on the Mississippi it would be a good idea to have a big stack of Mark Twain’s novels to bring the Mississippi alive to you. All of this is just by way of warn- ing that probably next July you will be reading in the Messenger about the ramblings of those itchy- footed Johnstons off on another trip, and we hope we meet as many interesting people’ and hear from as many old and new friends when we come back to tell about it. Dr. A. T. Jamison (Continued From Page One) years, not only in the South bit in the Nation. He was a pioneer in Mother’s Aid Programs. He led the South in case work. He was an ex- ponent of the Cottage System and his was one of the first institutions to use boarding homes as a sup- plement to institutional care. Dr. Jamison was one of the char- ter memebers of the Tri-State Or- phanage Conference, and through 1945 he never missed a meeting of that Association. Upon his retire- ment he did not attend the one meeting which was held between his retirement and his death. Dr. Jamison will be missed by more people than any man we know. School at Barium (Continued From Page One) not make mistakes that we might have made had we not heard the experiences of other people in the same work, Following the Institute for ex- ecutives, a week for Cottage Moth- ers was held, and Mrs. Mary Bry- ant took thiat in. So during the sum- mer months while the children were vacationing the grown folks were going to school. The Message of the (Continued From Page One) was heard the words of God the Father, “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.” The reason Dominant Desires tend to attain their object is be- cause we thus concentrate our pow- ers in that direction. John Bur- roughs said, “If you have a thing in mind it is not long before you have it in hand.” I am not speaking of idle day dreaming, air castles which lay no foundations and build no walls. I am speaking of real de- finite dominant desire. Also in the pursuit of our do- minant desires, if they are right and proper and in accordance with God’s will, we may count on the help of God Himself. For God an- swers prayer and as the old hymn has it. “Prayer is the souls’ sincere de- sire unuttered or expressed”. If our dominant desires are high and holy. If we strive for them with our lives and pray with our lips our prayer will be answered. We show our dominant desires by whiat we are willing to sacrifice for. If a boy or girl wants an ed- ucation bad enough, it can be got- ten. If a man or woman wants to be good strong enough, sin will be given up. If we really want the world to be saved we will give our effort and money to that end. Paul’s dominant desire made him the great missionary of all time. Chirst’s dominant desire made Him the Saviour of the world. And so we would ask ourselves what motive controlls us. What is my dominant desire? Is it sqme- thing small, temporal fruitless, empty and frivolous, or is it noble high and true, one that I may feel is a part of the great purpose and plan of God for His world, as eter- nal as God Himself. “For the world passes away and the lust (the desire) thereof. But he that doeth the will of God abid- eth forever”. PRAYER Our Father God we are very grateful for another day begun in Thy mercy. We have lain us down and slept, we have arisen because thou hast sustained us. As the sun has chased away the shadows of the night may the sun of Right- eousness arise in our hearts with healing in its wings to drive away all darkness of sin all shadow of sorrow that this may be a joyous day in Thy service. AUGUST 1947 For the talents of hand and heart which Thou hast given we offer to Thee our thanks. Grant that none may use the gifts of a generous God in a low or evil manner.

B. JOHNSTON Synod met this year at Flora Macdonald College, and evidently the memory of the delightful meet- ing at Barium in ’44 still lingered in the minds of thle commissoners because they honored me by elect- ing me Moderator. This was the first time that I was elected com- missioner to attend Synod since the meeting here in ’44. There can be no doubt but that it was the splendid way in which Synod was served while here that brought about thiis election, and not from any excellence on my part. The Synod was on its best be- haviour. No controversial matters were brought up. The actual busi- ness of moderating the assembly appeared easier than at any time in recent years, and the final hymn, “Blest Be The Tie That Binds” was sung with enthusiasm, and I believe without any mental reser- vations. Next year Synod meets at Mon- treat. This is the first time, we believe, that it has met out of the bounds of the Synod. Montreat is just twelve miles beyond the ex- treme limit of the North Carolina Synod. Some day we will have them back at Barium. We hope we will have a new Church for them to meet in when they do meet here. | Alumni News We have had a number of visi- tors on the campus this month: Wilma Jessup, Paul Burney, Donald Pettus, Jack Caldwell, Mott Price, Pleas Norman, Billy Dunn, Ray Huddleston. Earl Adams, Gene and Thelma Shannon of High Point, Clarence Robards and his wife and Elizabeth Robards, Bennie Gregory, Nina Berryhill, Lucile Smith and Hannah Price. Marley Sigmon is coaching foot- ball and teaching at the Mills Home, Thomasville. Dennis Williams came by to see us. He is buying and selling cars and at present is in Ashe County. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mosley (Ida Bell Dunn) of Laurens, Ss. C. were visitors on the campus. We were glad to have Ruth Bob- bitt and her family visit us, also Robert Blue, his wife and two children. Born to Clarence Clarke and his wife on September 6th a son, Joe Stephen, weight 9 pounds. Toni DeLancey of Charlotte spent the week-end at Barium. Born to Wallace and Birdie (Whitener) Twombly, at Davis Hos- pital, September 17, a daughter, Ruth Elizabeth. Fred Cole is spending some time in Statesville with Ed. He has been away for two years. He will be stationed in California at the ter- mination of his leave.

Home-coming Day Will Be October 17th Anawine Home-coming Dav ‘és near. It will be on October 17th and part of the attraction for the day will be a game of football with Lexington. We hope more of the old-timers will come in early in the morning of the 17th. We count on them (that is these early com- ers) to help at the pep meeting which we always have on the morn- ing of Home-coming Day. It does something to our football team and they seem to play better ball that afternoon than in any other game of the year. They will need en- couragement like that this year because the team which they will meet is one of the strongest on our schedule, one which has already beaten Statesville 35-0. However, the football game is not the biggest event of the day. It is getting back together and re- newing friendships and making plans for the future. Several days ago we had a visit from an old- timer, Laxton Sherman. He was one of the very first children en- tered after the founding of the Orphanage, and was part of that family which was living in the old hotel when it burned. Home-coming days were not so well attended during the war and that was understood. Now, we are looking for more and more of those (Continued On Page Two) The little brunette was a new-comer She is now as happy and smiling as her companions. The Message of the Pulpit By Rev. R. S.

I have watched the workmen as they select a pattern, say of a part of a stove, put it in a hinged frame, fill around it with moist sand Then, lifting th frame take out the pattern, leaving the imprint in the sand. Then they would pour in molten metal and the molten metal would fill every crack left by the pattern. So when the metal cooled and hardened it would be exactly like the pattern.

The Mooresville team was the visitor, and along with the team came Mooresville’s splen- did high school band and the big- gest crowd of rooters that we have had in many a day. The afternoon was hot but the game started out as a fast reoposition and it was good throughout, although in the second half the heat slowed both teams down somewhat. Ba- rium’s lone score was made by Jack Clark, and in that second quarter it was Jack who did most of the ball carrying. The back- field was composed of Jack Clark and Jack Mangum, veterans; Char- les Barrett, a veteran end but play- ing his first game in the back- field and Paul Barnes playing his first game as a varsity player. In the line Mason Traywick played his first conference game and stay- ed through the entire four quar- ters, The whole team did surpris- ingly well. Mooresville brought an experienced, well-coached team. They showed evidences of power and played a_ splendid defensive game. They will be heard from later in the season. This game with Mooresville is the only con- ference game that Barium plays in September. A Committee Meeting The Board of Regents usually has an Executive Committee meet- ing during the summer, and one of the things that was supposed to be looked after was the purchase of furniture for Lees Cottage liv- ing room and a few other things. Well, the summer seemed so full of so many things that this meet- ing was never held, but a special committee visited Barium on Sep- tember 22nd and unanimously ap- proved the purchase of this furni- fure. So in a short time the Lees boys can be as proud of having visitors as the Howard girls are at the present time. A number of years ago we had contests in housekeeping and each month some visitors would be ask- ed to inspect all of the cottages and to award the prize for a month. The prize was the privilege of flying a particular flag at that cottage for a month. The practice was discontinued owing to the difficulty of getting people to do the judging. We believe that if it were in practice today the Lees boys would rate high. althouch the competition would be mighty keen. Rn Rae Rev. R. S. Arrowood, Trea Barium Springs, N. C.

Ss arr A Message of the (Continued From Page One) to make it. Before a church is built pictures, designs, blue prints of the walls, the framing, the spire, the heating, the lights, the arrang- ments of the seats has to be pre- pared. It all has to be done accord- ing to pattern. Before a weaver can make a yard of cloth a pattern must be made. In an automobile there are thousands of parts. Be- fore any one of them is cast a pat- tern must be made. Now in the making of Character in the building of a life; in the weaving of a fabric of our exis- tence we need a pattern to go by. What patterns do we have? Happy is the boy who can say I want to be as good a man as my father. Happy is the girl who can say I want to be sweet and lovely like my mother. There are other great and good men whom we may take as our pattern. Paul could say “Whatso- ever ye have seen in me do”. James says “Take my brethren, the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of pa- tience”, But the complete and per- fect pattern we find in the life and character of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hear him as he says, “Come unto Me all ye that labor.” “Take my yoke and learn of me”, Peter says in his first letter, “Christ suffered for us leaving us an example that ye should follow.” It means a copy to write under. Do you remember the copies in the old copy books? We wrote under them and the further down the page the worse our writing. The blots the smears the thumb marks and the scrawls gave evidence we were get- ting farther away from the copy. Then we would turn the page to another copy. Yes keep close to the pattern of Jesus. At His last pass- over He washed their feet and said, “I have given you an example that as I have done ye should do”. And Paul says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” There are flaws in every pattern but that of Christ, so mould your life according to His pattern. Say, “Make me and mould me after thy will. While I am waiting yielded and still.” Where is the pattern seen? Our text says the pattern was “showed in the Mount. Do you re- member how Jesus went up into a Mount and He sat down and taught them saying “Blessed are the poor in spirit’? On another day He was transfigured. Yes on enother Mount He was crucified. On another Mount He said “Go ye and desciple, baptizing’. On an- other Mount He ascended and a cloud received Him. Yes go into the realms of the spirit world to get your pattern and go down into the valley to serve as He did. If we mould our lives real closely after that of Jesus Christ we may be given the blessing of being an example for others who are not close enough to Jesus to have Him for an example. That is what Paul meant when he wrote to Titus. “In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works”. We are apt to say to others “Don’t do as I do, do as I say do”. But the ur- gency is upon us not only to de- liver the precept but also to set the example. There is one more little word I want to speak of. It is a little word of three letters but it covers a lot of territory. The word is all, A-L-L-. See that thou make all things by the pattern. That means that we are to be like Jesus when we kneel in prayer. And not only then but when we are eating our dinner. And not only then but when We are engaging in games or en- joying pleasure, or in our work or when we are in the market place or off on vacation, or when we are in our homes or visiting with others. Earthly pleasures vainly call me I would be like Jesus. Nothing worldly shall enthroll me I would be like Jesus. Be like Jesus this my song In the home and in the throng Be like Jesus all day long I would be like Jesus. Shrubs and Flowers (Continued From Page One) day night supper and the food prepared and served there tastes, if anything, even better than thiat served at Camp. The Sunday be- fore our opening game the girls prepared a steak supper for the boys. Well, after that the boys just couldn’t help but win that first game. The next Sunday it was outdoor fried chicken, and that deserved another victory. Barbecue is on the menu for the next Sun- day. In addition to this grill, Mrs. Bryant has interested herself in flowers and shrubbery and_ she says that she can use all of such things that our friends can give her. So keep that in mind. If you have any bulbs, shrubs, or flower that you wish to donate you will find them flourishing later on in this Lottie Walker park. Home-Coming Day (Continued From Page One) returned G.

George IT IS CHRIST OR NOBODY I have looked the whole planet over, and ] see no man but Jesus only who is able to take away the sin of the world. I have sat at the feet of the world’s crowned re- ligious’ leaders, and I have seen all the great religions in their homes, and I know that it is Christ or nobody. No one else has the slightest chance of winning the homage of the entire human race. More and more, he is what he was to Saul of Tarsus—“The image of the invisible God.” More and more, he is to me what he was to John the Beloved—“God made manifest in the flesh.” More and more, he is to me what he himself claimed to be, the eternal Son of the living God. To know him in establishing on this earth the kingdom of right- eousness and peace and joy, this is what makes my life more and more worth living. — Dr. Charles A, Jefferson, — Watchman-Examiner. acters ailiiig th aI ae a PREJUDICES By Russell H. Conwell There is such a thing as being insanely conscientious. It is a kind of unnatural false form, an imita- tion, a sort of counterfeit of real conscientiougsness. With such people their prejudices are often their con- science. If a man be prejudiced against a thing, his false con- science will immediately arise and condemn it to be wrong. Did you ever study human nature enough to see how many good Christian people get a prejudice, and try to support it by the Scriptures? Everything is wrong against which the man happens to hold a pre- judice. Every thing is wrong which that Christian man or woman dis- likes. If he thirfks it is wrong for himself to go to church in one cut of clothing, it is wrong for another person to go in that style. of suit. If he dislikes anything in social life, then it is wrong for any per- son to do that thing. We find it also exhibited in the tendency of some excellent Christian people to think all religion must be sour and gloomy. The person’s conscience persuades him to feel that nothing is religion unless it is dark. He is not sensitive to anything that is cheerful, not sensitive to anything that is beautiful. All things to him work together to bring gloom if they work together for good. Hence his religion is all conscientious dullness against everything hope- ful, against all brightness and cheer.” — Ex. erences a The salesman was demonstrating an old army jeep to a prospect when suddenly the jeep hit a bump and the prospect’s wife was thrown out of the back seat. The salesman glanced over his shoulder. “Ang the jeep has many other advantages over an automo- bile,” he cautioned in his sales talk.

Since that time the Home has ministered to over two thousand dependent children. The Home undertakes not only to give the children under its care a subsistence, but to give a normal life of study, work and play, so that they may live while here a happy life and be fitted for usefulness in the Church and community.

We are sure you will not be unmindful of that The High Cost of Orphanage Financing And the Thanksgiving Offering Eleven months in the year we try to bring to you in The Messen- ger the news of the Home, interesting events in the lives of the indi- vidual children here, interesting things that happen to us as an institu- tion, the doings of our alumni, and in all of these months we try to keep in the background family matters, such as paying the grocer, meeting the payroll, etc. But in this one issue which comes to you just before Thanksgiving we have to let our hair down and really tell you some of thle things that we face. We only have to go back a few years and compare prices with those that we have to pay now and it does not seem like we are liv- ing in the same country. As an ex- ae - ot treme example let us tell you about coal. Fifteen years ago we _ in- stalled stokers in order to utilize the very cheapest grade of coal which we bought at that time for fifty cents a ton. The railroads brought it to us for half freight rate, altogether thle coal cost us at our boiler less than $2.00 a ton. Now we pay a full rate and $5.10 a ton at the mines for this same identical coal. We have put in coal- saving devices but our coal bill is more than doubled, of course. All the clothes that we buy and such food as we have to purchase has increased in like manner, al- though; not to that extent. We are raising a larger proportion of our food than ever before and we have been blessed with bountiful crops. As we write this our barns are full of hay, our cribs are full of corn, we have enough] pigs and steers to guarantee us our meat rations for the winter, our apple house is fill- ing up with apples, and potatoes and other things are being stored (Continued On Page Thiree) Report of Barium Alumni Association The Barium Springs Alumni As- sociation met at 1 P.

Following ‘the report of the committee on disposition of the Memorial Fund, it was voted that the Alumni Association would buy the pulpit furniture for the new church.

King Hezikiah’s life had been spared fifteen more years. He had been drawn back from the jaws of death by the mercy of God. So he meditates upon the true meaning and values of life. The light grows brighter and we hear him say Lord, by these men live. Hezikiah had been very sick and in that time of trouble had found that men live by prayer. He had prayed to live and God had heard his prayer and granted his request.

Then we maved it back to October and for several years we have had perfectly clear beautiful weather. We did not always win our ball games during that pretty weather but outside of that the Home-coming was perfect. This year we had a return of the rain and it looked like a lot of our fun was going to be rained out. It rained so much in the morning that we could not have our outdoor picnic dinner - we had to have that inside. At the half at the football game it really did pour, but the crowd hung on and witnessed a very good football game with Barium staying on the short end of the score. Barium Children Take Mountain Trip Several weeks ago some of our larger girls had occasion to make a trip to Morganton. They were so impressed with’ the mountains on either side of the road as you go to Morganton that we thought it would be a good idea to let them see some real mountains. Mrs. Bryant first conceived the plan and it has worked out so well that she deserves a trophy of some kind. Here’s how it worked out. On Saturday morning around nine o’clock a bus load of about 32, a station wagon of 10, and a carload of 5 left Barium Springs on High- way 21. They journeyed up through Elkin, Roaring Gap, took a quick look around the grounds of Grey- stone Inn, then on to the Parkway, and along the Parkway to Wild- cat Rocks where the party stop- ped for a weiner roast and for a ramble. Then back home by route 16 and North Wilkesboro, arriving (Continued On Page Three) People began coming in to Home- coming on the afternoon before. Maude Inman and her sister, Anna, were the first to come and then Anna Turner came in. Incidentally, Anna brought lots of folks pres- ents and the one she gave us was the most beautiful of the lot. By ten o’clock there were so many that we had to reserve a special place at our pep meeting for them. The boys in college were parti- cularly in evidence. There were six from Carolina, two from State, two from Catawba, and one from Davidson and two from Mitchell. More would have been present from Davidson but for a football game which took place there on the same afternoon. Children were more in evidence than ever before. Nellie Culp with her four and Linda with her one were about the biggest single carload that came in. At the meeting of the alumni the same officers were re-elected for another year: Irene McDade of Barium Springs, president; Reid Brown of Burlington, treasurer; (Continued On Page Three) PaGE Two THE BARtTUM MESSENGER re THE BARIUM MESSENGER PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME Jos.

Campus News HOWARD COTTAGE We had a nice begining of school this year. Twelve girls made the honor roll, they are: Laura Jane Craig, fourth grade; Linda Inman, Lois Dellenger, Betty Anna Black- burn, Phoebe Cochran, Shirley Shaw, Shirley Ann Hollifield, Mary Bowles, Letha Walker, fifth grade; Shirley Byrd, Louise Hradshaw, and Carol Jean Andrews, sixth grade. Three out of four of the sixth grade girls made the honor roll. Elizabeth Ann Huddleston just made one S-. Each child that made the honor roll will be reward- ed with something nice done for them. We went to the fair on Wednes- day, Oct. 8. We were lucky not to wear our shoes because if we had they would have gotten messed up. We had a wonderful time. There has been several football games this year. Our last game was on Home-coming. Our luck was rather bad that day. We lost the game and also during the game the rain just poured down and we got wet to the skin. The day had a wonderful ending after all. We saw several of our old friends and after supper we had fun blow- ing plastic ballons. We have new Sunday cpats, they are red, blue, green, brown and plaid. Some of them were made at the sewing room and they are just lovely. You must come to see us when we get dressed up. — The Howard Girls LEES COTTAGE Dear Friends, We are having a good time go- ing to school. We got our report cards the other day and some of us are going to have to do a little better next time. We are enjoying the football games. We are sorry we didn’t win the Home-coming game. We all got wet. Now is the time for us to pick up apples and put them away for winter. The campus has been beautiful for the last few weeks, the leaves are ialling now and we will be rak- Ing usu up svon and carrying them to the barn. We are enjoying our concrete waik in front of our house. We went to the show the other week and had a good time. — The Lees Boys BABY COTTAGE It has been a long time since you have heard from the Baby Cot- tage. We are all here except one, Nancy Yandle. She is now with her mother. We miss her very much. We have been enjoying nice fall weather and go out on the campus and gather nice acorns. We also went to the Home- coming football game. Mrs. Arro- wood is teaching us kindergarden so you see we are getting ourselves ready for schoo] next year. We feel like big boys and girls going to school every morning. You should see our Holloween faces and pump- kins we have been making at kind- ergarden. You should see us with our Holloween costumes. Tomorrow we have a birthday table for the ones who had a birth- day in the month of October. Only one baby girl and one big sister get to go. They are Linda Shephard and Florence Andrews. We have had quite a bit of com- pany these past two months. Well folks this is all the news for this time. Look for us again next month when we will be back to tell you more about our good times. Until then so-long. — The Babies SEWING ROOM Hello Friends, Here we are again bringing you the latest news and gossip of the last two months. The sewing room looks different from what it has in previous years, because of the many coats and skirts Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Fox have been busy making while we have been at school. Last Saturday we made a de- lightful trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. where we spent the day roaming the mountains and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Incidentally our matron, Mrs. Bryant had been there before and could show us many sights we would not have noticed otherwise. We don’t know who enjoyed it most, the girls or Mr. Johnston. Since the gossip is usually the main subject of our column, we'll start on it now. Virginia Presnell now looks her age. She has recently cut bangs. Incidently she’s seventeen. Janie and Mildred have been talking a great deal lately about bears. Is it time for the hunting season to start? Bradley felt right at home Sat- urday in the mountains. To watch her climb the mountains you would think she was an old hand at it. Ernestine Baldwin, better known as Mrs. Elizabeth Porter to her classmates, hopes to be the first woman president of the United States. You have stiff competition, Ernie. Sadie Buie is having a hard time trying to make up her mind?? Lucille has been feeling mighty sharp lately. Could be she’s eating too many Clark candy bars too. Look for us next month. — The Sewing Room Girls WOMANS BUILDING Hello Friends, Since you heard from us last, two or three big events have hap- pened to us. The first and most important event was Hpme-doming which tock place Friday. Usually thie Home-comers at the dining room, but this year they ate in the basement 0° the Woman’s Building which wis decorated by Mrs. Bryant, Mr. Harwell, Mrs. Gresham and Mrs. Williams in the Autumn motif, I: the afternoon of the same day we saw our boys defeated in foothall by the Lex- ington “Yellow Jackets.” A second big event to happen to the Woman’s Puliding girls alone, but which will happen to the Rum- ple Hall girls next Saturday was a trip to the Blue tidge Mountains. We traveled alony the new Scenic Highway which provided us with beautiful autumn scenery. We stopped at Wildcat Rocks Picnic Grounds to eat aud roamed around for an hour enjoying the picnic grounds. We wish to think Mr. Johnston and Mrs. Bryant for making it possible for us to see the moun- tains at a time when they are at their prettiest. Not long before school opened a grill was built behind Woman’s Building for our use at any time. The Junior and Senior girls have been cooking supper on Sunday nights for the football boys ever since it became usable. We are proud to boast of the high percentage of honor rolls we had at our cottage last month. I find it a privilege to list the names here. From the Senior Class we had Ernestine Baldwin, Bradley Jeanne Manus. Mildred Monroe, Betty and Peggy Coffey and Lucille Stricklin. From the eleventh grade, Margaret Bullard. From the tenth grade, Lorene Hall and Betty Sue Wolfe. From the ninth grade, Joyce Katen and Frances Stricklin. — Margaret Bullard ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Hello Friends, Well, here we are back again with the cottage news and we have lots to say. We have gotten our report cards for the first time and eleven of our little girls got on the honor roll and one of our big sisters. We are all proud of them and hope that all of us can get on it next time. Friday, Oct. 17 was Home-com- ing at Barium. It was so nice to see all of our friends back. Our game Friday was almost rained out but we still had a good time. The campus is very colorful now with all the leaves changing it makes it very beautiful. We hope they will stay on the trees a long time but soon we will be raking them up and the trees will be bare. But we won’t mind raking leaves as long as the days are pretty and bright. We’ll get them up be- for the winds start blowing. I guess every one knows how hard it is to rake leaves when the wind is blowing in every direction. Holloween is just around the corner. We are all looking forward to it very much because that is the time when we can look as ugly as we want too. Until next month. — The Annie Louise Girls INFIRMARY “Up to the moment.” Hi Folks, Here we are bringing you the news from Sick Bay. First of all we wish to thank the Circle No. 4 of Mooresville and Circle No. 1 of Washington for the nice books and other things they sent and brought us. We sure were glad to see the visitors who came back for Home- coming Friday. We had a picnic lunch for them and then we played Lexington and they won 31 to 0. Although it rained the last half of the game the boys kept on play- ing but most of the visitors left. We are having a few sick ones, some with colds and _ headaches, nothing really serious. We will say so long until we bring you the news from our cot- tage next month. — Infirmary Girls Marie Andrews SYNOD COTTAGE Hello Friends, We sure wish you could see how beautiful our campus is now. All the trees are turning and their colors really do make a pretty picture. The Lees boys have been busy raking leaves. Our report cards came out Mon- day and a number of us made the honor roll. More of us are going to try to make it next month. The Board of Regents came to see us Tuesday and we had the birthday table then. Only three of us went. They were Richard Black- burn, Jerry McArthur and Mem- ory Thompson. The Regents went too. We had Home-coming last Fri- day and a football game with Lexington. We lost 31 to 0. During the middle part of it there was a hard rain. Most of us left. We'll be seeing you next month. — The Synod’s Boys RUMPLE HALL The Rumple Hall girls have been busy this month with! their home duties. Mixed with these, we have had lots of pleasures. Ball games at Davidson and Charlotte. Mr. Johnston was good to let us go. We had such a nice time Oct. 17 which was Home-coming day. Our boys played Lexington and they were our supper guests. We are always glad to have guests. We are going on an all day trip to the mountains Saturday. Mr. Johnston, Mrs. Stephens and Mrs. Harwell are going with us. We are expecting a good time. We hope it will be a beautiful day. We are thankful for all the good things that have come to us. We are very glad that school has started, we are having a very nice time in school. The next game that our boys are playing is going to be with Davidson Freshmen. Basketball will start in the mid- dle of November. The last football game that we are going to play will be with Statesville. The Rum- ple Hall girls will play during the half so if you want to see a good game come to the very last one that we play. We have two girls up at Rumple Hall that made the honor roll. They are Patty Inman and Aline Thomas. — The Rumple Hall Girls “The Busy Bees” Cc. SPEARS HICKS, DURHAM GENERAL CHAIRMAN JAMES G.

It does not sound like much in this brief tel- ling and yet the number of adjec- tives used by these 43 girls, there were four grown people along, would if placed end on end certain- ly reach around the world. The elevation produced symp- toms resembling sleeping-sickness, high blood pressure, bad hearts, and plain hunger. As the day progress- ed and the journey lengthened a‘: the other symptoms merged into just one of plain hunger, and when we finally arrived at the picnic grounds and were trying to coax some reluctant wood to burn so that we could roast our weiners, the hunger pangs became acute. We had intended to have a weiner roast, but the fire was so slow in . burning and our hunger was mount- ing so rapidly that we lived on smoked weiners rather than roast- ed weiners, but the digestions we carried along were perfectly cap- able of handling weiners in any style. The girls spent a little more than an hour ranging over the grounds at this picnic place in the mount- ains and got enough scenery in their systems to pretty near fill them up to capacity. They were not too much interested on the way home; in fact, some of them slept through the interesting down- mountain trip, but they came back home most enthusiastic about thle trip, North Carolina and the coun- try at large in general. We were impressed with the beauty of the Scenic Highway, the way it is kept up, the efforts made to beautify it the care with whiich spaces have been provided for cars to stop and view the scenery. While we were at our picnic grounds two of the park’s rangers stopped and inquired where we were from. They gave us valuable road information about the return trip and were most solicitious for our pleasure and safety. We told them that we were planning to bring another group of younger children on the same trip and they gave us valu- able tips as to how to arrange that to make the trip even more delight- ful. These things make us so en- thusiastic about our country that we are inclined to pay no attention to the headaches that arise around January 1st to March 25th when income tax reports are in order. A Message of the (Continued From Page One) And in his hour of sorrow he had done more than utter a petition for himself, he has found fellow- ship with God and worshipped him. So have sorrowing souls in every age. Jesus said “My soul is exceed- ing sorrowful even unto death, tarry ye here and watch with me.” And he went a little further and fell on his face and prayed. “All ye who journey soon or late Must pass within that garden gate, Must kneel alone in silence there And wrestle with some dark dispair. God pity who only say ‘let this cup pass’ Who never say ‘not mine but thine,’ and cannot see The purpose of Gethsemane. Hezikiah lived by obedience. In verse three we read ‘Remember, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.” To most of us life is not always serious sickness, sad bereavement, terrible tribulation. Our lives are subject to these things. They hap- pen sooner or later to all. But for the most part our life is in the workaday world doing our part in the home, the school, the commun- ity, the church. In all our dealings we should live by high moral prin- ciples, walking in truth with a per- fect heart, doing that which is good in the sight of God. Hezikiah lived by faith. The historian who wrote the eighteenth chapter of the Book of II Kings says this of Hezikiah; “He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord - - - He trusted in the Lord God of Israel - - - He clave to the Lord and departed not from following him.” Hezikiah had shown great faith all the days of his life. As a young man he had succeeded his no good father, Ahaz, on the throne. Ahaz had sold out to the Assyrians; had removed sacred furniture from the Temple; and had brought in heathen gods and shrines. The Chronicler, after he had with blistering words described the iniquities of Ahaz, wrote for him the devastating epitahl; “This is that King Ahaz.” Hezikiah took the throne when the Temple was closed; no priest, no worship; the country disorgan- ized; groaning under the rule and tribute of Assyria; the people were THE BARIUM MESSENGER ————————————————————_— — | at a low ebb spiritually, Isaiah de- scribes them aS SMear eyed, dull eared, and fat hearted, worship. ping the gods of nature on high hills and under green grass; bow- ing down to the old brazen ser- pent Moses made in the Wilderness and forgetting to Worship the God of Moses. Hezikiah showed his faith by his works. He hewed in peices the brazen serpent; he cleansed the Temple; and restored its priests; liturgy, and choral service. In close cooperation with Isaiah and Mieah, he led the people back to the wor- ship and service of God. He looked to God in faith and by a miracle the army of the Assyrians was destroyed and Jerusalem was sav- ed. “This is the victory that over cometh the world even your faith,” Hezikiah lived by a conscious- ness that God loved him. In verse seventeen we read; “Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it,” Sometimes the providence of God is hard to understand. “He leads us on by paths we do not know.” But when we can believe as did Hezikiah that every stroke of chas- tening is in love; that the blows we endure are not the bludgening of blind fate or the vindictive fury of an angry deity, but the way a God of Love leads us through storm and tempest to a higher holier life, we can say with Job, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” Hezikiah! lived by praise to God. In contemplation of the goodness of God and his mercy in prolong- ing his days, Hezikiah wrote this passage which we are studying to- day, set it to music so it could be sung in the Temple supported by stringed instruments. (See verses 19 and 20) As we approach the Thanksgiv- ing Season we are reminded that we should not confine our praise to one day in the year but every day should be Thanksgiving Day in America. In this land which is still safe and still free and still pros- perous and still full of plenty, we should daily praise God from whom all blessings flow. And when at last by prayer and faith and righteous service to our loving Heavenly Father we reach the haven of our souls and enter into a closer fellowship with God; when with undimmed eyes we know as we are known, and enter into a deeper experience of his bound- less love, then may we rest our souls in his compassion, and the abundant life will possess our spirits. Then from the fulness of our hearts we will join the much people of heaven saying “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power unto the Lord our God.” And life will grow sweeter and richer and fuller throughout eternity. For by these things men live. The High Cost of (Continued From Page One) away in abundance. But the cost of producing the:< things has in- creased - fertilizer, the labor such as we have to employ, the equip- ment, the expense of running that equipment and keeping it in re- pair, all have advanced tremendous- ly, so much! so that the money that we thought was ample just a few years ago will not carry the load today. We have added to our case work department in an effort to more thoroughly work out every possible means of caring for child- ren without crowding Barium Springs. We are utilizing more and more the boarding home idea, es- pecially for very young children. This is more economical because we can often enlist the help of other agencies in this. All of this is an effort to stretch your dollars further, but in spite of it all we find ourselves more in need of a bountiful Thanksgiving Offering than ever before in our history. Those of you who have kept up with Church affairs know that every year more and more things are added to the budget of the Church and the giving to the var- ious causes, such as Home Mis- sions, Foreign Missions, and the like has been increased, and no one can find fault with that. The need is great and must be met, but these things have meant the lowering in many instances of our gifts from the regular Church bud- get. Our percentages have been cut and we today can depend on less money from that source than before. The only large source of revenue other than this on which we de- pend is the Thanksgiving Offering, and that is right before you now. What you do during Thanksgiving Season will largely determine the welfare of Barium Springs for the next twelve months. We had hoped that when Social Security and Aid to Dependent Children began working we would feel its effects and that many cases of dependency would be wiped out. That probably is the case, but in their place have come many, many other calls. The adjustments necessary fol- lowing the end of the war have not all been made; many homes are broken in spite of the best efforts of the parents to make a go of it. The helping hand of the Orphanage is needed in more different ways now than ever before. Barium Springs has endeavored in every way not to be greedy. Back in ’41 plans had been made for making an intensive drive for building funds, but before this could get going the war came on and those plans were dropped. Ever since there has seemed to be some- thing of a greater necessity than our need for new buildings and this plan has been postponed from year to year. Even today we do not con- template starting such a campaign. The money has come in to us for our Church from a different source, - Memorials. Money has come in to us from individuals that will enable us in the not too distant future to start our Children’s Village. We hope money will come in for our Gymnasium, but we are not trying to shove any of these things ahead of the various drives of our Church, but we do come to you and lay the case of the Orphanage before you. We are trying our best to be eco- nomical and to make the money go as far as possible, but the total needed from you this year is great- er than any sum we have ever ask- ed from you before. If we measure this sum in terms of a day’s work it does not look so large, because the average income of our Church! members has in- creased along with expenses, but if we measure it in the old time dollars it takes more of them. If you respond to our call as we have every reason to believe that you will we will not bother you with other headaches that may come our way, but will try for the rest of the year to bring you the cheerful and the happy news of this big family which we believe still oc- cupies a high place in the affec- perro OCTOBER 1947 tions of our Church. We look to you with hope and confidence. Home-coming Day (Continued From Page One) Walter Beatty of Charlotte, secre- tary. There were quite a number of this year’s graduating class present - Dwight Spencer, Lee Vinson, Earl Allen, Benny Gregory, Frances Isenhour, Myrtle Rushing, Miriam Huddleston, and then at the other end of the family was Mr. T. M. Alexander who was in the original group of children who started Barium Springs. He was here from 1891 to 1896. Of the couples of Barium children who were back there was Ed and Sallie Cole, James and Ann McDonald Shroyer, Howard and Grace Adams Beshears, John and Mabel Vinson Lee, Ed and Sadie Eudy Flowers, James and Lois Mott Hannon, and then, of course, there was Ralph and Bobby Marlowe Spencer and Wallace and Birdie Whitener Twombly. To those of you who are inter- ested, the football game turned out 31-0 in favor of Lexington. We could not soften those Lexing- ton boys up on the football field, but we did certainly soften them up at supper. They had part of the meal prepared for the Home-com- ers and they seemed to enjoy it. In fact, they enjoyed the whole day and we did not feel too badly about it. : Report of Barium (Continued From Page One) considerably more than the pre- sent $650.00. General officers for the next two years are: president - Irene McDade; vice-president - Walter Fraley; secretary- treasurer - Walter Beattie. ee Correction: In our list of Thanksgiving Offerings in September we did not give cre- dit to Morven Church in Meck- lenburg Presbytery for any Thanksgiving Offering. We received $40.50 which was de- signated as a Regular Offer- ing but which we now know was a Thanksgiving Offering. We are glad to make this cor- rection.

C., NOVEMBER No. 1 The Message of the Pulpit By Rev. R. S. Arrowood Ece. 11:9 - Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgement. Ecce. 12:1 - Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth. REJOICE AND REMEMBER A certain man who had followed the false philosophy “to try any- thing once,” wrote out his exper- jences and conclusions and they have found a place in Holy Writ. Out of his life time of experiment- ing with the possibilities of study, of worldly pleasure, of amassing a fortune, he made some discoveries under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He has given them to us. Among those conclusions can be found our text; “Rejoice and Re- member.” Rejoice, O young man in thy youth. Enjoy life, have your fun with sports. Get all the joy and pleasure out of life that you can but remember that God will give you an examination at the end of the course as to how you have used the body and the time and talents he has given you. For that reason be careful ~o keep the body clean and strong and pure for him. “Know ye not that ye are the Tem- ple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” There is a little fable of the Foolish Skylark. If you think this story is too silly to tell, I am re- liably informed that Luther Bur- bank liked and repeated it. Once upon a time there was a foolish little skylark that was just learning to fly, soaring into the sky; and as it soared it sang. They do say that the singing of a sky- lark is most beautiful. Bu; this little skylark heard the tingle of a little bell on the ground and came down. And there he saw (Continued On Page Three) | Alumni News Gladys Katen Formico and her husband came to Barium recently. They are living at 508 Summit Avenue in Greensboro.

There have been times when we have had an outstanding varsity team. The fall of 1941, for instance, when we were about the best team in the state, 1940, when we were one of the best, and many other times in our athletic career. There have been times when our 125- pound team was the talk of the country - that team which was called “The Light Brigade” which took championships all over the country, and then later on the team that was called “The Rhapsody in Gold.” And then we hive often had 100- pound teams that broke into the headlines. We had a 100-pound team that went for several years with- out a defeat. They were so good that they ran out of competition. They were the ones who had the name “Symphony in Blue.” Now, we have an 85-pound team that is our pride and joy. We have spent some unhappy eback. afternoons and nights watching our varsity play - the weather had a lot to do with it and the strength of our opponents had a lot to do with it. We have not won all our games. Our 125 or B Team has had an excellent record and we have all enjoyed seeing them play. We have gotten a lot of fun out of the 100-pound team which is a little better than average, but the team that has really brought out all of our enthusiasm is our 85-pound team. Take a good look at them. The upper part of the picture shows them lined up and raring to go: the lower part of the picture is the squad. They are noted for their long runs and tricky play; in fact, anything that the big team does this team apparently can do just a little bit better. Show them a play one day and they will per- form it the next. The record for 1947 is as follows: left guard; Charles Hall, left tackle; BACKFIELD FROM LEFT 10 R'GHT: Gene Hucks, wingback; Woodie Smith, spinback; Jimmy Johnson, tailback; Dean Upton, blockin Barium 14-Concord 0: Barium 13- Newton 0: Barium 21-Huntersville 0: Barium 16-Newton 0: Barium 48-Huntersville 0: and as this is written they have one more game to play with Concord. In addition to this the members of this team have often substitu- ted in the 100-pound team and have had a big part in their vic- tories. The record of the 100- pound team is as follows: Barium 26- Concord 0: Barium 2-Cramerton 0: Barium 7-Newton 0: Barium 25- Davidson High 0: Barium 7-Newton 0: Barium 20-Davidson High 0: and as this is written they still have games with Cornelius and Concord. We are proud of this grand bunch of players. Watch for them as they make the larger teams, and in about three more years some of them will be getting on the varsity. Watch out! Football Season Ends At Barium Springs The football season is over - all but the eating - the banquets and such. Our varsity has played 10 games: they have won 3. They lost 4 conference games and 3 games outside of the conference. We have not had any out-and- out 125 pound team. We have play- ed a number of games, each one under a little different setup. Two games were B team games with everybody below the varsity re- gardless of weight and age. Then we played three games with 140 pound weight limit and sixteen years age limit; and then we play- ed some with 130 pounds. All of them are listed, however, under B. Team activities. The 100 pound team has been quite a team. We have held to 105 pound weight for the most part, but some of the teams that we played were allowed a greater weight limit to make up for our greater experience. The doings of the 85-pound team are written up elsewhere in this paper, so we will just add the sta- tistics for all of the football games. The weather has been bad and it was hard to play on many occa- sions. It has certainly affected the gate receipts, but there is nothing we can do about that and we just take it as one of the things that (Continued On Page Three) News From Other Presbyterian Homes Mr. Ralph Moore, who has been superintendent of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Lynchburg, Va. has given up his work there and is with ¢he Bachman Memorial School in Tennessee.

The above topie is the one that has been chosen for special em- phasis on this day of National Education Week. It is also the top- ic that was assigned to me for an “Education Week” newspaper ar- ticle. Although this matter of building America’s future is the chief business of all schools, I shall confine my remarks to the one school in which I work: the School at Barium Springs. It may be that there are those who think of the Barium Springs School as a private, or privately supported, institution. The truth is that it is a state school, whose teachers are - for the most part - paid with state funds; it is a part of the Iredell County administra- tive unit; and makes up a part of District Number Six. This is as it should be; for, after all, the chil- dren are citizens of the state of North Carolina, and are just as much a part of the state’s respon- sibility as the children of any other town or community. However, the people who sup- port and control the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home feel that they, too, have a definite responsibility for the education of these children; and so, the matter is not left en- tirely to the state. Since many of the children who enter this school are retarded and maladjusted, and since each| extra year that the pu- pil stays in school because of re- peated grades will cost the Or- phanage several hundred dollars; the orphanage authorities feel that it is good business - to say the least - to try to have the best school possible.

We are going to have a holiday. We are having a ball game in the afternoon. Mrs. McLelland from Moores- ville brought us some cookies, candy, and chewing gum. Folks cer- tainly are good to us. A group of the Lees boys went to Mooresville and put on a pro- gram for one of the Circles. We really had a good time. We hope a lot of our friends will come and see our pretty tables and chairs. We are proud of them and we are going to take care of them. We all went to Statesville and got some work shoes. The leaves are falling and we have been raking them up and they use them at the barn. Some of the boys went up to Synods the other night and Mrs. Bowling gave ys some pop corn. We will be looking for Santa Clause the next time you hear from us. — The Lees Boys. ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Hello Friends, Many things have happened since the last time you heard from us. Halloween night the little boys who are the same age as we invit- ed us to a party at their cottage. We played games and before we lad anything to eat we went up in- to the ward where the little boys sleep. Our big sisters had arrang- ed the beds so that you couldn’t get out without crawling under the beds. After we got out we had crackers, cookies, pop corn, and lemonade. We had a _ wonderful time and wish that all of our friends could have been here with us to enjoy the fun. This past Sunday Circle Number 5 of the First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville came to see us and brought supper for all at thle cot- tage. Before we ate we gave a short program and walked with our friends around the campus. Here are a few of the things we had to eat. There were about a doz- en di:ferent kinds of cookies, sand- wiches and cakes. For our drink we each had a Pepsi Cola. They al- so brought us toys, funny papers and books and puzzles. We have a lot of eating and reading to do for the next week. All of us would like to thank our Mooresville friends and hope they had as much fun as we did. Thanksgiving is just around thie corner and we.are all looking for- ward to it because the children at Barium hiave a lot to be thankful for. Hoping each and everyone of you have a happy Thanksgiving. — The Annie Louise Girls. INFIRMARY Here we are again bringing you the news from our Cottage this month, We have not had many sick folks lately. We are proud of our smaller football teams we would like to let you know why. They haven’t lost a game the entire sea- son so far. Well we guess we will say so- long until next month. — Marie Andrews. QUADS The Quad boys are looking for- ward with great interest to our annual football game with States- ville this year. All of our “Stars” including “Jack Clark, J. D. Ever- ett, and Jack Mangum” are very confident of a victory. Of course the “Three Musketeers” will be down on the field cheering the team on. If you’re not familiar with these fellows they are Tommy, Buster and me, three of the best boys at the Home. Bill Stern Berryhill and Ted Huesing Clark predict a great victory over Statesville. They also predict Carolina over Duke, Army over Navy, and Southern Califor- nia over Notre Dame. But don’t put your money on their predic- tions because they are usually wrong about 5 out of 6 times. The grading period in our school is about over now and we hope to bring the boys “honor roll’ total up to “three” at the most this time which will make a great improve- ment over our two of last month. Well here’s hoping you will have a grand Thanksgiving with a big turkey on the table, but remember the food shortage in Europe and don’t waste anything. Take it easy till next time. Your “Ace” Reporters. Whiting, Hudgins and Myatt SYNOD COTTAGE There is hardly time to take our Halloween faces off before Thanks- giving comes around. On Halloween night we had a party and had heaps of fun. Mrs. Bowling made a ghost out of a sheet and a pumpkin, and it did look like one. Louise made a witch out of a mop and chair and decorated our sitting room and clothesroom to look like a real ghost gallery. We had punch! and cookies, served to us by some of the senior girls. Our good friend Jerry Newbold was here to help us celebrate. All of us have new shoes and galoshes and we have started wear- ing our overalls and knickers. We wrote our Christmas letters this week in school. We are all ex- cited about Christmas. Just 35 more days. For Thanksgiving we get three days holiday. Whiopee! They had the birthday table last week. Louise, Shirley and Rickie McArthur were the only ones to go. We'll be seeing you next month. —. The Synod Boys HOWARD COTTAGE Mr. Johnston is so nice to us. He arranged a way for us to go to two Davidson football games. Best-of all we got to go in person- al cars. Mr. Johnston, Mr. Calhoun, Miss Carpenter, and Mr. Lowrance took us. We got to go because we were good girls. The second game we went to, Mr, Grier, Mr. Calhoun and the Barium bus took us. We all were glad to ec! to go. our leader in year. For Hol- Lees boys and Miss Carpent« Junior League t loween she took :): Howard girls to Statesville in the Barium bus. She le! us watch the people in the costumes. When we got back we had Coco Cola and cookies for refreshments. On November 10, Circle No. 6 of Mooresville met with us. We gave them a program and then they had their business meeting. They were so good to us. They brought us all kinds of candy, a lot of cookies and al! kinds of jelly. Shirley Shaw was not here when the Circle came. She went to Mor- ganton with) Miss Carpenter. Carol Jean Andrews, Shirley Byrd and Louise Bradshaw have been to Statesville shopping and to a show for making the honor roll. The other honor roll students will go soon. Written by Louise Bradshaw WOMANS BUILDING Last month I touched on the sub- ject of the Junior and Senior girls preparing supper and acting as hostesses on Sunday night to the football boys. This month I wish to tell you more about these Sun- day night suppers. Until the weather prevented it we cooked these suppers on our grill behind Woman’s Building, but now that it has gotten so cold we find it quite convenient to cook at the kitchen. We all enjoy these suppers be- cause they are informal in that they are served S and W style. Since it is the Woman’s Building girls who help fix most of the meals, we find it suitable to tell you about a new improvement at the kitchen. The carpenters here at Barium have replaced the back porch by enclosing it with! glass windows and wood walls, whereas before it was enclosed with screen. All vegetables and meats will be prepared (cleaned and cut) on the porch before entering the kitchen, therefore preventing the kitchen from becoming dirty and cluttered. Basketball practice starts soon and everyone is excited. It is hard to tell exactly which sport is the most popular among the children here at Barium - basketball or football - because so many parti- cipate in both. The Juniors and Seniors wish to thank Mrs. Bryant and the carpen- ter group for our new dressing tables. They not only make our rooms attractive but are quite con- venient. Each girl is making her own spread and curtains for her room. In the middle of the spreads a design of a flower has been sew- ed on. Every month Mr. Sams, who owns the theaters in Statesville, sends two tickets to each| class in school. Many of the girls at our Cottage received a ticket because of out- standing school work. We commend these girls, namely; Lucille Strict- lin, Betty Jo Smith, Virginia Press- nell, Lorene Hall, Betty Sue Wolfe, Jeanne Steppe, Helen Vinson, Bet- sey Page, Mary Frances Price and Margaret Bullard. We'll be with you next month so look for us, Margaret Bullard SEWING ROOM NEWS The sewing room has been quite busy since we last wrote to you. We have been busy making bloases for the Glee Club girls; making coats for the younger girls and curtains THE BARIUM MESSENGER for various cottages on the campus. There has been almost more talk in the sewing room about the foot- ball game with Statesville Friday than there has been sewing. This is “the” game of the year for us. Since basketball hias_ started most of the girls aren’t with us too much of the time, so we don’t have much time for gossip. There- fore you won’t find the usual gos- sip this month. Most of the girls have been talking about Christmas and what they plan to do during the holidays. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Fox, (our matrons), seem content to listen to our chatter, but our guess is that they are thinking about the holidays too. To each of you we wish a happy Thanksgiving holiday. —tThe S. R. Girls. JENNIE GILMER First of all we wish to thank the circle of Mooresville for the nice gifts that they brought to us. We are very sorry that we were not here to see and be with you. The scarfs are all so nice. We could hardly pick the one we want- ed for our room. Everytime some- one comes to our rooms we have to show them to them. We all think that the candy, cookies, and oranges had a big help in making us win our games. We also want to thank you for the beauti- ful Camera. Basketball has started now and we are very glad. Besides football this is the next best liked sport among us. We hope that you can come up to see us play sometime. Read about us in next months paper. Jennie Gilmer Boys RUMPLE HALL Dear Friends, Here we are bringing you the news again this month. We wish that all of you could see our play room. We have a new victrola and some nice records. We like to get in our play room and do acrobatics. The Junior Choir went to Tay- lorsville last week and gave a pro- gram in the First Presbyterian Church. After the service the ladies of the Auxiliary served delicious refreshments. We are going to get new coats from the sewing room by Christ- mas, we hope. Good-by until next month. — The Rumple Hall Girls News From Other ‘Continued From Page One) 1900. He was a good young man. He has been a most efficient pas- tor and orphanage superintendent. The Talladega institution will long miss his services. Dr. Lynn, the former superinten- dent of Thornwell Orphanage, still retains his home at Montreat and meets his many friends there every summer. He holds a pastorate in Florida. Speaking of orphanages, there is an orphanage in Australia - the Melbourne Orphanage - whose sup- erintendent Mr. Butler, has kept in touch with us for many years. We exchange literature, reports, and letters. During the critical war years the things that their insti- tution had to do brought us a close- up picture of the war front. Today they are recovering, but the re- covery is slow and the additional burdens on this institution seem to be greater than those on us here. We know that wars upset the lives of children in many ways, and we feel it in our lives, but these things are tempered to us by dis- tance and by many other things. Australia was near the front and there was not much to temper the shock of these disturbances to them. We remember a letter which we received from Mr. Butler during the early years of the war. It was at a time when the Jap drive was nearing Australia. There did not seem to be any strength lying be- tween the advancing Jap armies and the relatively undefended NOVEMBER 1947 shores of Australia, and then as: he described it one morning they suddenly found the streets of their cities full of American soldiers - big, strapping, self-confident, and unafraid. “They just took over,” so he said. “They ate up all our steak, all of our sheep, and nearly everything else that we had, but how we thanked God that they were here. We are now no longer afraid.’” Some of our own Barium Springs boys were in that crowd of early soldiers on the streets of the Aus- tralian cities. They wrote back and gave us their impressions, too, and it made us feel close kin to these neighbors down under. We have just received the Annual Report of this institution. Their buildings are badly in need of repair, new buildings are needed, but building conditions are even worse in Aus- tralia than they are here. They have also had an epidemic. We can say that was due to the war too - an epidemic of ringworm, so severe that they had to stop taking child- ren into the orphanage until it could be gotten under control. Diptheria and other things have had a hand. Well, we sympathize with them and then give thanks for our doctors and the health measures that are possible here at Barium. For instance, we had an epidemic of a new kind of ring- worm. It was new to some of the doctors. It was a tropical job that was picked up by our army and brought back to the United States, and eventually reached us. The old methods of handling ringworm and kindred diseases did not seem to work with this, but eventually af- ter many attempts it was gotten under control. We know they will manage it somehow, sometime, at this Australian institution. It all adds up to this, that when you are dealing with children there is never a dull moment. Even behav- iour problems sometimes shrink by comparison with some of the more urgent and distressing health con- ditions. Sometimes we think we are suffering more than others, but the report from Australia opens our eyes to the fact that we are living in a mighty good place.

One most valuable speaker was a former Barium boy, Rufus Long, who presented Barium most effec- tively on two occasions. It is gratifying to be invited; it is most heartening to feel the af- fection and loyalty toward Barium by our friends all over the State. Many things are calling for help. That we at Barium are remember- ed so generously at this time gives us renewed courage. Football Season Ends (Continued From Page One) we have to take in stride. There are only six boys in the se- nior class at Barium and just half ot these play football, a much smaller percentage than is usually the case with Barium seniors. Of the three who do play two of them are regulars and the other a migh- ty good substitute. The one who has made the head- lines more often than any is Jack Clark, tailback, punter, passer and runner. There are times when he has lar: u magnificent ball. Some- times he has been slowed up by injuries. Barium will miss this blonde boy, but there is another blonde coming up from the eighth grade who will attempt to fill his shoes. Charles Barrett, fullback, con- verted from end, has played a good consistent game all year. That boy has played when he was hurt and turned in an excellent performance, He was the only regular back who was left in the Salisbury game and he made a real game out of that. James Reid lacks only one thing and that is size. He has the know- how and a most willing spirit, but he is too small for the competition we have been up against this year. However, he has seen much ser- vice as a replacement when any of the other backs had to leave the game. He has played just about as much as anybody. There are enough juniors on the team to assure us good leadership in 1948 and some mighty likely prospects moving up from the eighth grade, so we are looking for- ward to 1948 with lively hopes for a better season. The final game of the season was withi Statesville. Statesville is our nearest neighbor and keenest rival. The game with Statesville climaxes the season, and all com- parative scores are forgotten when the teams take the field. This year Statesville beat Barium - the mar- gin was small, 7-6, but it was a de- feat - the first since 1928. This does not mean that Barium has been better every year - many things contributed to these victor- ies and some of them might have been the result of luck. It looked that way especially to the States- ville rooters. This year Statesville had a good team. They did not have as good a record as Barium. They had been defeated the week before by a team which Barium had badly defeated a week earlier. You mathematicians add this up. Barium defeated Spencer 26-6; Spencer de- feated Statesville 31-0; Statesville defeated Barium 7-6. The rivalry between Statesville and Barium, keen as it is, does not carry with it some of the disagree- able aspects of other rivalries. The players, the cheering sections, and the team followers (spectators) all seem to have a genuine affection for each other and the game ended with a lot of hand-shaking and no fist-shaking. May it always continue so. VARSITY Barium 6, Mooresville 0. Barium 0, Morganton 12. Barium 12, North Wilkesboro 27. Barium 0, Thomasville 6. Barium 0, Lexington 31. Barium 6, Davidson Jayvees 12.

McCaley (Cleo Sluder) on Novem- ber 10th in Thomasville a son. Roger David, weight 7 pounds, 8 ounces, The Message of the (Continued From Page One) a strange sight. A jack daw coming down the road pulling a little cart and ever and anon tingling his bell and calling “Worms, worms, beau- tiful, fat, juicy, worms.” The little skylark loved worms so hl sidled up and said “How much for a nice worm?” And the jack daw said “I’ll make you one cheap, just one wing feather.” And after that the jack daw had a steady customer. Every time the foolish little skylark heard “Worms, worms”, he came running with a wing feather. One day he noticed he could not soar so high and hiis song in flight was shorten- ed; but “my those juicy worms! I'll just have to have another”. So it went on till at last he could- n’t fly at all, and he didn’t feel like singing. So he went out and began to dig up worms and he got a pile together and took them to the jack daw and said “Here take these worms and give me back my wings.” But the jack daw said “Silly boy, I buy wings, not worms.” What happened to the little fool- ish skylark then? I don’t really know. I hope his wings grew back and that he never sold them for worms again. But there are boys and girls just as foolish! who sell the finest things of the soul by which they may soar ypward unto God, giving up purity of life, clean- ness of conscience; an unsullied body; selling for that which is un- clean an unholy, clipping the wings of the soul and spoiling the song of the heart. We are to rejoice in life and en- joy its pleasures but we are to re- member that we Were made in the image of God; That when God made man, he breathed into man the breath| of life and man became a living soul. Since man is the only creature made in the image of God, man should value his own person- alit ty. “Whit shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” Because one soul is of more value thin all the world. There is a story that when Louis XVI king of France was executed his son, called the Dauphin, was put out with an abandoned charac- ter. When she tried to get the Dau- phin to do evil things, or utter pro- fane or vulgar words, he would say, “But I am a child of the king.” “Beloved now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purificth himself, even as he is pure.” We shiould remember God by seeking Him in the beautiful and sublime. Everything beautiful is made to praise Him, everything useful is to be dediested to His service, All things are for his glory and God is revealed in his creation. We should apprehend him not only by our intellect and our sense of the esthetic but we must per- ceive him by the exercise of the powers of the soul. His glory which expresses his love can best be ap- prehended by love. “The night has a thousand eyes The day but one Yet the light of the bright world dies With| the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes And the heart but one Yet the light of the whole life dies When love is done.” “Whatsoever things are lovely - think on these things.” Remember God. Seek him in the Holy scriptures. While muchi of the wisdom and glory of God is reveal- ed in nature, the full orbed glory of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is only revealed in his word. There God is revealed in the person of His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. “God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath! shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” Jesus Christ is the answer to the needs of the world. In him we may rejoice in our youth and our joy will be full, containing nothing which we need dread in the day of judgment. Life following him will be an age of achievement. And when we remember God in our youth those evil days will never come when thou shialt say “I have no pleasure in them;” for old age will be an era of blessed memory. Farewell, ye dreams of night, Jesus is mine. Lost in the dawning bright, Jesus is mine. All that my soul has tried Left but a dismal void; Jesus has satisfied Jesus is mine. Building America’s (Continued From Page One) the orphanage supplements the amount allotted by the state, and uses this supplement principally for the employment of additional teachers. As a result. we do have a schlool of which we are proud, and we believe that there are cer- tain features of our school that might well be emulated, whenever possible, by other schools of our state. Our teacher load averages about twenty pupils per teacher instead of thirty-five or more as in most schools. All of our teachers have THE BARIUM MESSENGER Sooo OO Class A or Graduate certificates. On account of certain conditions such as smaller classes, less ex- pensive living arrangements, some- what less of the “extra duties” found in most schools, freedom from political interference, and a feeling that their job is secure as long as their work is satisfactory; we have been able to secure and hold some of the best teachers to be found in the state. Our attendance averages better than 98 per cent. There are few absences except on account of sick- ness, and far less than the aver- age amount of sickness, due to the outstanding health program of the school and orphanage. An orphanage can never take the place of a “Good” home, and certainly a matron with twenty or thirty children to look after can not take the place of “Good” par- ents. Nevertheless, there is more cooperation between matron and teacher than can be found in many instances between parent and teach- er. Which leads me to make a plea for more cooperation and a better understanding between par- ents and teachers. Know your school! Visit your school! Get ac- quainted with the people whio teach your children! From what has been said, one might get the idea that the Barium Springs School had about reached perfection. Nothing could be fur- ther from the truth. We have pro- blems every day. In spite of our smaller classes and excellent teach- ers, some pupils fail in their work, and a few have to repeat their grade, and far too many drop out of school before graduation. On the other hand, many do graduate, and many continue their education beyond high school. Forty-four Barium graduates are now in col- lege, and our teachers share with all other teachers the great satis- faction of feeling that they are having a very important part in building America’s future.

When you read this it will be wy vact football season - even the Bowl games will have been pleyed, but there is just one game you must hear about. It happened on Thanksgiving Day at Barium Springs and it was between the Mitchell Co-eds and the Barium Alumni. Now, the Mitchell Co-eds are boys and there are about 85 at Mitchell College. The idea for this game started out as sort of joke, but as time went along the boys got more and more serious about it and when Thanksgiving Day finally arrived the event took on the appearance of a Bowl game. There was a grand crowd out to see it: the weather was beautiful a nice, sunshiny afternoon. Men women and children came, and the Barium Alumni looked formid- able. They brought so many wives and children with them thiat it took a separate section to handle them and it was difficult to keep the second generation off the bench. Listen to this line-up, you old football fans. At center for Ba- rium was Roscoe Smith, a recent graduate. At ends were Toe Don- aldson and Lee Spencer. Toe has children in high school and he be- longed to one of those teams of way back yonder when Barium’s annual occupation was to beat the State Champions. We did it so regularly and so neatly that we were called “The Giant Killers”. We liked to pick out the chazapion in each of the Conferences and work on them. There was Buck Brigance, that motorcycle racer, who is so toughened up from spills from his motorcycle that a little thing like a tackle or a block did not even irritate him. He did hive to stop for breath occasionally. By he way, Brigance came all the way from Jacksonville, Florida, to get in this game. There were three boys from Chapel Hill - Benny Gregory, George Lewis, and Dave Burney. From right here at Barium in add- ition to the ones already mentioned there was Ralph Spencer at guard, Joe Ben Gibbs in the backfield, and even old man Jackins, the Ba- rium Coach. When Jackins used to play as a regular he was one of those slim, willowy, slippery backs. Now he has sacrificed a good bit of his speed to weight, and he can- not carry his 225 plus around like he used to earry his 150 but he was still potent and toted a mean ball all during that game. He real- ly set up the one touchdown that was the margin of Barium’s vic- tory. Arthur Roach was here with his wife and baby to watch him, and he looked just like the Roach of old. He made the touchdown that won the victory. Dwight Spencer, now a student at Mitchell College, was torn between two loyalties - whether to play on Barium’s team or Mitchell’s. He finally chose a Barium uniform. His half-brothers, Fred and Clyde Johnson, wearing the same uniform created too much of a pull for him. Kenneth Baker, another Barium alumnus, played on the Mitchell team, so that even- ed things up. There was Charlie Sears whom a lot of Davidson f lke remember as the midget back who helped to defeat V M I one year while at Davidson. Ed Oliver, the boy who led Barium to a 28-0 vic- tory over Greensboro; Ed flowers, the speed-boy of one of our former teams and who now lives in States- ville, and to complete the list of Eds there was Ed Cole, one of the backs of that miracle midget team, who was so good that he finally made the varsity without getting (Continued On Page Three) BARIUM SPRINGS.

Everyone and that includes all of us, thoroughly enjoyed that fine nicture. And then on last Tuesday night, the 9th, the fraternities at Davidson invited 157 boys and girls from Barium, practically every- thing below the high school and above the Baby Cottage. Eleven fraternity and independent groups did the inviting. There were a- round fifteen children as guests at each of these eleven parties. Thc groups were arranged by Mr. Calhoun. They went down on our buses and trucks right after sup- ner Tuesuay night. They were met in front of the Chambers Building by a boy from each of thle inviting eroups. The Barium children were introduced by one of their number who who had been appointed moni- tor and then the parties began. who saw it, We would not attempt to des- cribe any one of them.

A most delicious steak supper was served, at beautiful appoint- ed tables set in Rumple dining hall at Barium, and with their decorations suggestive of the past football season and of the = ap- proaching holiday season, made a most attractive scene as some one hundred or more officials, alum- nae, workers and invited guests enjoyed a most delightful evening together. During the supper, Miss Rachel Hickman, music director at Barium and g sextet of singers at the home made the occasion a most delightful one with some snappy and entertaining song hits. Those composing the sextet were Misses Betty and Peggy Coffey, Betty Jo Smith and Messrs. Her- bert Good, Charles Barrett and Jerry Young. Genial Mr. Joseph B. Johnston, superintendent of the home, wel- comed all present and introduced a number of his guests of the evening, including a number of the alumnae of Barium Springs. Messrs. Sid Bost and Bill McLain of the Statesville Daily Record, Alwyn Morrison of the Statesville Daily, assistant coach Moneyhan of Davidson College, and Heath Whittle, who incidentally is Mrs. Southerland’s son-in-law.

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME Py CHARLES BARRETT Member Senior Class, Barium Springs High School, Barium Sprines, N. C. HAT does Christmas mean to me? At this writing I can’t attribute its meaning to any one thing and say, “That’s what it means to me”, In writing this composition, I shall try in an informal, subjective way to aquaint you with the dif- ferent attitudes I have taken to- ward Christmas during my past seventeen years. What the first few Christmases meant to me can be described in one word - PRESENTS. I was strictly on the receiving end, and what interested me most was whether I got more presents than anyone else. But, as a few more years pass- ed, I learned a new significance of Christmas. I now divided the season in two parts: Santa Claus’s part, and Christs’ part. The latter I didn’t fully understand; in fact at the age of six, I thought “Silent Night” was a Halloween song; and as far as going to church and hearing beautiful music, I enjoyed that; but we went to church all year; therefore I didn’t get the special significance out of the re- ligious Christmas festivities, know- ing only one phase of Christmas, that of Santa Claus, my thoughts centered wholly around him and what I would receive. When I was in the fourth grade, and about to celebrate my eleventh Christmas, our teacher asked us to prepare a Christmas note book. Wanting mine to be different, I decided to try my hand at poetry. The result was the following poem, entitled “Christ’s Birth”. > Christ Child lay, watching o’er Him, round about them. With His par And the angels And the wise men from afar, In the East had seen His star, As they rode out to the West, Where the star wzs soon io rest. Came As they sz Christ lovely, For He was born in Bethlehem. And the anvels as they flew, ind told the ; hepherds voo, i ’ Our minister had it published in the bulletin. My ideas of Christ- mas were changing. It was two years later that I gave my first Christmas gift. I shall never forget it It was a sivole pleture of the American wih a prayer for a_ better ] itten below it. I gave it to my mother. She was more sur- prised then anything else, but she kept it. The act of giving that first Christmas gift meant some- thing to me - I believe that after that gesture in Christmas sharing to k o> a new meaning to me. in ibe forcgeing paragraphs, I Feve tried to show the change that has taken place in my think- ing since I was first introduced to Christmas. Now I shall try to reveal how I feel about Christmas now. The thing that means most to me in the celebration of Christ- mas is the beautiful music. The music written for this season is the most beautiful ever written, in my ovinion. Great composers were inspired to write magnifi- cent Cantatas such as Handel’s “Messiah”, which is probably the most famous. The Christmas ly- rics have many lessons one would do well to learn. In mentioning these beautiful hymns and can- tatas, I wouldn’t minimize the many heart-warming stories such as “The Birds’ Christmas Carol”. From these stories and lyrics we can largely get the real meaning of Christmas. In them we find wonderful lessons on _ tolerance, love and kindness. An example is, “Good will hence forth from heaven to men.” What does _ it mean? To sre it is the fulfillment of what the provhets had been saying all through the ages. At last a Savior was coming who would save the world from sin. It means God will redeem man from his sins and give him a sec- ond chance - which none of us could do without. Christmas has become a time of joy! To me, joy is the keynote of Christmas; and joy is incomplete unless it is shared. Joy, it has been said, is the sign that the soul has found an object. To me the chief source of joy is found in a demonstration of thoughtfulness to others. During Christmas our joy reaches new heigats, because we celebrate a new the birth of our Savior, “Who came to minister; not to be minis- tered unto.” “The keynote of Christmas is joy”. Christmas to me, means the joy of giving, of receiving, and of the rebirth of Christ in the hearts of all mankind. Dickens, in his inimitable story, “A Christmas Carol”, has express- ed my feelings of Christmas far better than 1 can, when he has Scrooge’s nephew say, “Christinas is a good time; a kind, forgiving, Charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of the long calendar of the year, when men and women secm by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as fellow passengers io the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.” Iuy Christmas prayer this year .S a p-ayer that could be univers- aly prayed. “Give Peace for all time, dear Lord, and fill our hearts and the hearts of all men every where with the love of Christ Jes- us,” who was born in an humble stable two thousand years ago. This is what Christmas means to me. Campus News SEWING ROOM Dear Friends, It hardly seems time to write sewing room news again. Every- one’s mind has been on Christmas, ainly flown by. ats since we so the time has ce We finished mak wrote you last, 1 we are now working on dress for the Wo- man’s Building girls. Our mater- ials are steadily reasing since is’ have come like the the “new long | out. Incidentally, new longer dresses. We certainly are proud of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Fox who hav een working so well since we f to school. We are in the sew! room only a small part of the day, so our two matrons are really kept busy. Three of our girls, Lucille, Sadie, and Betty Joe are on the basket- ball team. We had a game last night with Celeste Henkel and won. Another of our girls, Ernie Bald- win, is book-keeper. She is quite a mathematician. Virginia Presnell is the manager ;his year and is kept very busy by our famous “All Stars”. Our twins, Peggy and Betty, are having a happy birthday today. They’re suffering from longevity today since they are now eighteen. — The Sewing Room Girls WOMANS BUILDING One of the most enjoyable fall parties was the square dance given by the Juniors and Seniors the night following Thanksgiving. Most of us wore jeans and dressed aS much like hill-billies as possible. We succeeded I think. The gym was decorated in the barn motif, and believe me it looked more like a barn than a gym. Without too much trouble we rigged up gq horse out of a carpenter’s horse, but failed to locate a “cow”. Hill- billy music was provided for the square dancing, which was called by Mr. Neill and Mr. Hostettler, both of Troutman. After standing in line for three hours the Juniors and Seniors finally boarded the “Freedom Train” and explored the documents searching for some thing that our history teacher, Miss Thompson, had not already told us. Mr. Sams, of Statesville, invited us to g “free’ show and we wishi to thank him. We enjoyed the show very much and recommend it to you. (Lots of Freedom!) We wish for all of you who read the Messenger a merry, joyful Christmas and a healthy and hap- py new year. — Margaret Bullard INFIRMARY It is so near time for Santa and we have been writing our Christ- mas letters . We are just about +o write this in letter form. We have had only three or four sick ones in the past month. Don’t tell anyone but maybe the reason for no sickness is because they have heard Santa doesn’t visit the sick. But little David Reid doesn’t think the way everyone else does, He has spent the past two years and says he wants to again this year. We had two girls, Marie Andrews and Haze! Creech on the honor roll, we are proud to say just one or two unsatis/actory marks kept the other three virls off. Glad to weleome two new comers, David and Sidney Morrison into our home. We wish to thank Circle Number 4 of Mooresyille for the candy, cake and chewing gum they brought us. We surely did enjoy it. We hope Santa is as good to everyone as he is to us. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. So long. — Marie Andrews SYNOD COTTAGE Hip, Hip, Hooray. We boys have a new boy - Little Bobby Synod, our dog. Dr. Nesbit visited us Saturday afternoon bringing us candy and a beautiful white and black puppy three months old. We received cookies and candy for Thanksgiving from the Busi- ness Women’s Circle. “Yum Yum, so good.” Thanksgiving day Mr. Inman visited his daughter bringing a fifty pound bag of pecans. Shirley ive does make good fudge with pecans. Someone, we don’t know who, brought us some goodie- eo d home made candies. We hope you see this, thanks, Circle No, 4 from Morganton sent us some books and we are sure enjoying them. Louise and Shirley are reading to us one half hour each evening before going to bed. We certainly do appreciate the money for candy from the same ladies. We all were treated to a trip to see “The Miracle o! th St.,” at the Playhouse Theatre. It was so wood, Now we all are sure Santa wil! answer our letters. We had eight children on the honor roll, of which we are very proud, Leaves are falling and we are trying to help clean the campus. Our champion “sack-filler” in the leaf cleaning crew is Nat Craig. He has a system all his own he lays the sack on the ground and with his back to the bag puts his feet on the opening of the bag, bends over and pulls the other part over his back, with hands like little diggers he soon has his bag full then he jumps in and packs them down. This should be seen to be appreciated. This is his own idea. We are a happy group and in unison we shout: Merry Christmas to all from Synod’s Boys, Girls and Housemother. HOWARD COTTAGE We have been raking leaves since the last time you heard from us. We have raked up 224 sacks. The faster we rake them the fast- er they fall. We had thirteen girls on the honor roll last time. Margaret Hucks made the 13th one. The ones that made the honor roll the first month got to go to a show and window shopping. Christmas will soon be here and We are all excited. We hope you have a Merry Christmas. We got to go to a free show in the Barium bus. The name of the show was, “Miracle on 34th Street.” It was a very good show about Santa Clause. Some of the small cottages get to go to a party at Davidson on December 9th. ‘Most of us have new boots and galoshes. They are brown and red. Well I guess we had better sign off until next time. — Written by Carol Jean Andrews Elizabeth Ann Huddleston Shirley Byrd Louise Bradshaw RUMPLE HALL We are back again bringing you our news for this month. We have so much to tell you that we can’t write it all down on paper, so we are counting on you to come to see us sometime. We were invited to Davidson College last week to a Christmas party. The children of the gram- mar school grade were divided in- to groups of fifteen and the dif- ferent Fraternities saw that we had g good time. We played games and sang car- ols for a while and then saw mo- tion pictures of some of Davidson’s football games. They were very in- teresting. Each Fraternity house had a Christmas tree with pres- ents for everyone. A boy played Santa to us and we had a grand time, Another thing that is very im- portant to us is that our rooms are being painted. We are so happv about it that we just had to tell you. We are very proud of them and hope that you will come to see us sometime. Good bye yntil next month. —The Rumple Hall Girls.

He had been to Davidson possibly a thousand times during his life; he was so entertained by the thirty or more children telling him about the party on the way home that he got lost in Mooresville. That is something that ought to be sent in to Ripley. Mr. Hetheox who drove another bus brought back tories of individual experiences at one of these parties that would till a small-sized book. We have received letters from Davidson mentioning the results from the beys’ side and it altogether adds up into one perfect evening. Who- ever thought up that idea and those who carried it out should be com- mended and have this as a plea- sant memory as long as they live. ; this article is written, we are now beginning the last week of school before Christmas. The big event of the week will be the “Give To” Christmas Tree on Wednesday night. This is an occasion where all the children and grownups at Ba- rium make a contribution end de- corate a tree. The contribution gets the decoration which is then tied en to the tree and when it is over it is a very much decorated and beautiful tree. This is the third vear we have had this and it is a beautiful oceasion, one in which everyone joins. Mr. Arrowood and Miss Hickman will lead the music during the decoration of the tree and, all in all, it is a very happy occasion, and some worthy cause ev individual is the recipient of our Christmas giving. Following this on the same night will be the Cantata, arranged by the music department, which will be held in Little Joe’s Church. Then there is g ball game on hursday night, and then the Christmas parties really begin. The long part of the vacation comes before Christmas Davy, but every one of those days will be pleasant with Christmas Day being the cli- max - a great occasion. Already Christmas boxes are be- ginning to come in. One of the rooms which is ordinarily used for a Sunday School class is uséd for the assorting of these Christmas presents. Yesterday thle Sunday School class had to meet some- where else, as this room was al- ready filling up. By next Sunday there will be places where the pile will reach to the roof, and by that time several of us will have dropp- ed all other duties to see that Christmas presents are properly handled and distributed. Football Banquet Held (Continued From Page One) piled the fine record this past season of seven games won in seven attempts, and the players receiving their letter certificates on this team were: Billy Lybrand, Donald Mitchell, Ray Clark, Mack Berryhill, Jimmy Williams, Cecil Burleson, Kenneth Walker, Bobby Johnson, Earl Huddleston, Terrell Hall, Fred Feimster, John Bul- lard, Bobby Allen, Charles Ste- phens, Buddy Maples, Johnny Hudgins, Norvin Hilliard, Jerry Ennis, Cecil Creech, Jay Terry and Paul Dellinger. Before presenting the varsity lads their certificate letters, which also entitles the player to his regular Barium letter, Mr. John- ston stated that six years ago, Barium made a most enviable record on the gridiron in that they were one of the highest scoring football high machines in the State, but along came the war and from then on up to the present season, the Barium varsity team had not quite the success of for- mer seasons, but are gradually building back to the period, before the war wrecked their football fortunes. It was the 85, i00 and 125 pound teams at Barium during the war years that kept things going in a football way at Barium and helped the varsity teams to win some of their games by feed- ing some of their players up to the varsity eleven. For a school that had only about 35 boys in the high school department, Bari- um has done exceedingly well on the football gridiron, and some (Continued On Page Three) Ww 0 n— s © - a to g > SS —s mA we r A MA ss ee sm e oo mo _ oO 3s od se & FT CO ~e — 2}] er ve le he ty ut he nt 10 es ld ve on 1e ds O- se n- a- e. re ig ye hy 1 a~ “dd ar 1d od th id ic Vv se 1r : i m Le 1e 'y nt i- 1e or or aS Ly e- 1- Ly le at p- ly PAGE THREE Football Banquet Held (Continued From Page Two) - of these 35 boys did not take part in football. Those receiving their varsity certificate letters were: Tomes Reid, Jack Clark, Charles Parrett, Jerry Young, Johnny Me- roney, Jack Mangum, Ricky Lip- p2ard, Herbert Good, J. D. Everett, Curtis Baldwin, Kenneth Manus, Rufus Clark, Mason Traywick, Pel Barnes and Bert Atwood. By a vote of the team, Charles Pervett was elected captain for the 1947 team; Jack Clark was se- lected unanimously as the most valuable player to his 1947 team. Jerry Young was voted the best blocker and Charles Barrett he best tackler, the latter two receiv- ine miniature sterling silver foot- ball charms for being selected as the best blocker and tackler, these medals being given by your cor- respondent who is inierested in clesn sports. With this presentation program completed, the banqueteers ad- journed to the school building where assistant coach Moneyhan of Davidson showed technicolored pictures of two of Davidson Col- lege’s foot2ll games, these being the Dayidirn - William and Mary game and the Davidson - Richmond t'l.. This concluded a most enjoy- able evening by all who had_ the pleasure of enjoying this most de- ligniful ef events on the Barium sports calendar of the year. Eighth Grade Presents (Continued From Page One) preted his role best and to the one having the best costume. The cast of characters was as follows: Mrs. Ruggles — Louise Campbell Kitty — Elmina Johnson Peoria — Sarah Bradshaw Clem — Carl Spicer Sarah Maude — Carolyn Wicker Cornelius —- John Plyler Larry — Dwight Reid Mrs. Bird — Kathleen Ellis Carol Bird — Bonnie Odom Peter Ruggles — Johnny Hudgins. Mitchell Co-Eds vs. (Continued From Page One) out of the midget team’s weight. He still weighs about 125 pounds, but knows what to do with a foot- ball. Also, Bobby Reavis mustach and all, got in there for some play. Bobby was one of the backs on the midget team that earned a Nat- ional championship. The game was an interesting one. A Barium cheering section, of course, took over for Barium and the Mitchell cheering section add- ed some extra thrills. They had a little comedy sketch that they had planned. Here is how it was sup- posed to work: one of the Mitchlell boys would pretend to be hurt - completely knocked out. The bug- ler in the Mitchell cheering section then would stand up and play Taps in a very solemn and heartrending manner. After awhile the boy would commence to stir. His ren- dition of Taps would then speed up a little bit, then the boy would get up and start to walk and the Taps would swing into ragtime. Well, it went off apparently ex- actly as rehearsed. The boy on the Mitchell team was down; the bug- ler did his stuff and everybody in the stands thought it was tremen- dously funny. The only trouble was that the boy who got hurt was not in on it and it was not a fake hurt but a real one. The boy was knock- ed almost unconscious and when the fog cleared up in his head he heard Taps being played and he got the idea that the Mitchell cheering section were making fun of him. There might have been a girl involved in there some way; anyhow, he had to be restrained from climbing all over the bugler. However, by nighitfall the bugler was able to come out of hiding and everybody went to bed happy with no hangovers of this most interest- ing sports event. Both sides were so enthmsiastic over the outcome that they want to stage it as an annual event, so if you are looking around for some- where to go next Thanksgiving, drop in at Barium. You will very likely be highly entertained. By the way, the proceeds of the game were divided, the Mitchell boys using theirs for equipment, and the Barium side going into the vacuum caused in the athletic bank account by so many rainy Fridays. Thanks to Mitchell and thanks to our Alumni for the fine entertain- rent they put on. The Message of the (Continued From Page One) “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the image of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory even as from the Lord the Spirit.” “Ye are the light of the world” says Jesus. Phil. 2:15 “Be the Sons of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.” Yes we should have our lights burning just now. The world is so dark that Christians should be careful to have their lamps trim- med and burning. I was interested in seeing a wise quotation from an apocryphal book of the Old Testament II Esdras 14:25 which! said, “I shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out.” We live in violent times. In days when ideas principles and their ex- pression are matters of life and death. It is a“fime when we need to exercise ourselves; to be very chari- table, very sympathetic, and very understanding. It would be easy for us to forget that we are Chris- tians and that we follow a Master that even as they drove the nails prayed, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” Yes, may we have in our hearts lighted the candle of our understanding which’ shall not be put out.” Another candle that should be lighted in our hearts is the candle of joy. I am not referring to light or frivolous pleasure. There never was a time when #iat is more out of place than now. Surely the thoughtless will be restrained from using this season in excess of drink- ing and foolish or riotous living. But it should be a time of deep Christian joy that as a people He has been so good to us. We have our homes where we still have safety. We have an abundance of food, clothing and shelter. We have open churches and open Bibles. We can gather and tell and sing the Christmas story and worship at the manger. We can gather round our family altars and sing our songs and exchange our gifts and our love. And above and beyond all we can live by faith in Him who loved us and gave himself for us. It is a time when we shluld keep the candle of lcve shining very brightly. O there is so much unbridled hate in the world. So many cruel unmerciful things are being done; so many hard words being said, its natural to fall into the spirit of the age. We have a hard thing to do but we must not shrink from it because it is hard. Hear the words of Jesus, “Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; pray for them that dispisfully use you and persecute you that ye may be the children of your Father which art in heaven.” Yes, against the mantel of dark and cruel hate, Christ and love should flame out. “How far the little candle throws its beam” said Portia, “so shines g good deed in a naughty world.” Isaiah, who so clearly saw the dawning of the light of Christ, al- so so eloquently prophecies of the duty and privelege and joy of Christians to bring light to the darkened world. “The people that walked in dark- ness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the sha- dow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” Isa. 9:2. Isa, 42:6 “I the Lori have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand and will keep thee and give thee for a covenant of the people, and for a light of the gen- tiles.” Isa. 60:1-3 “Arise shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For be- hold darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the peo- ple, but the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee and Gentiles shall come yo thy light and kings to the bright- ness ot thy rising.” isa. 60:19 “The sun shall be no more thy lighic by day; neither for brighiness the moon give light unto thee: put the Lord shall be unio thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.” REGULAR November Receipts Miscellaneous Gifts QUILTS & BLANKETS: Smyrna (F) Aux., two Hopewell (M) Aux., four liarper-Southerland Aux., one Olney Aux., Circle 38, two palem (O) Aux., one West Avenue (G) 5S.
