BARBER COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
Anniston, Alabama.
Let's Go! This College, established to of
fer full College Courses for young wo
men of the Negro race, will open its sec
ond year, September 15,1925.
It is the only Presbyterian Woman's
College for colored women in the world.
Like the colleges exclusively for women,
it encourages the ideals of true women
and offers courses of study for young
women such as the best women demand,
and such as prepare them for their spe
cial work. Through the noble generosi-.
ty of its founders with Presbyterian
ideals, Barber College makes it easier
for a girl with energy and ability to be
come a College Graduate, and reach her
highest usefulness.
Graduates, obtaining the College Di- I
ploma, will be able to meet the increased |
requirements of the State Boards of .Ed- l
ucation, and be fitted for all conditions i[
set for teaching and higher studies. :i
With an enlarged Faculty and increased «
facilities, Barber College offers to capa- ||
ble Negro women a great opportunity [
for higher development, usefulness, and |
privilege. Is
With it is associated Barber Memorial
Seminary which will continue to offer its *
secondary courses of study and also act
as a Preparatory School for the College.
All the advantages of the Seminary, with
its able Faculty, increased facilities, and
attractive surroundings, will be open to \
students of the College. ij
Located in the foot-hills of the Blue
Mountains in Northeastern Alabama, <
the situation is unsurpassed. It would be *
difficult, if not impossible, to find a bet- !
ter school building. Large rooms. Two in s
a room. Steam heated. Electric lighted.
Newly furnished throughout. Modern in
every way. Plain, but plenty of food. Ab- *
solutely pure mountain spring water,
none better. Large Faculty. Small class
es. Personal supervision.
For further information, address the
President, Rev. John EJ. Scherer.

MT. TABOR CHURCH NOTES
Sunday morning, September
27, our pastor, Dr. J. L. Hollo
well, preached a very impressive
sermon from Acts 6:7. His sub
ject was, “How the Word of God
Increased.”
At 3 o’clock he preached to us
from Mark 9:36. Both sermons
were strong and inspiring.
On the third Sunday in Sep
tember Mr. John Smith,. Mr.
and Mrs. Howard and Mrs.
Howard and Mrs. Richardson,
of Broad Street church, States
ville, were welcome visitors in
our Sabbath school. Both Mr.
Smith and Mr. Howard made
interesting talks on the Sabbath
school work, telling how we
should train a child to come to
Sabbath school. We were glad
to have these friends with us.
Mr. Everett Taggret has been
confined to his bed for seveijal
days.
Mrs. C. A. Rankin was ab
sent from church on last Sun
day on account of illness.'
On the second Sunday eve
ning in October the Missionary
Society will have a pew rally.
We pray to have much success.
Mrs. Emma Clement was the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. William

MINGHAM, ALA.
A D. V. B. School was held
beginning July 6 and ending
August 6, 1925. There was an
enrollment of 209. On the first
day less than ten were enrolled,
but with the coming of each new
day came new pupils until we
had reached 209.
Miss Naomi Williams, special
organizer for this Presbytery,
supervised the work for one
week. She, was assisted by lo
cal talent, namely: Mesdames
W- J. Harris, L. A. Bolden, K.

and E. F. Roberts. The follow
ing order was carried out:
1. Devotional period, 15 min
utes, conducted by Mrs. W. J.
Harris.
2. Memory Work Period, ^5
minutes, Mrs. W. J. Harris.
3- Music Period, 15 minutes,
Mrs. E. F. Roberts.

Announcements.
Dismissal.
Mrs. W. J. Harris acted as
principal of the school. The
boys and girls learned to recite
the 1st, 19th, 23rd and 100th
Psalm, the Beatitudes, 13th
chapter of I Corinthians and
several questions from the Cat
echism.
A number of songs were
taught the children from
“Songs for Service,” the D. V.
B. S. Music book, and a few
melodies.
At the close of the term pic
tures of the school were made,
a picnic was given; and a pro
gram, “A Tom Thumb Wed
ding,” was rendered by the
children. The D. V. B. S. made
a number of new friends for our
church and day school work.
This fact is being demonstrated
by the large number of new
pupils we have had in the school
and new members added to the
church.
Mrs. L. A. Bolden was our re
presentative at the School of
Methods which was held at
Swift Memorial College, Rog
ersville, Tenn. She brought back
a number of new ideas which
she is attempting to put into
practice.
The Sunday school picnic was
quite a success. It was held at
Bankhead Beach, about twelve
miles from the city. Five
trucks were used to carry the
people, while others went in
private cars. Everybody was
served lemonade while on the
ground.
Rev. W. W- Mayle came and
held a week of evangelistic
meetings which were very suc
cessful.
Rev. Sample has just returned
from Atlanta, Ga., where he has
been assisting Rev. Dr. Thom
in an evangelistic meeting. He
reports much success on the
trip.
Elder B. L. Greer has just an
nounced his marriage to Miss
M. E. Coleman, of this city.
The Synod will convene in
Miller Memorial church, Octo
ber 20, 1925.
It is pleasing to note the lo
cation of Dr. H. C. Harrington
in Birmingham. Since his lo
cation he has been a constant
visitor in our church.

ECHOES FROM FERGUSON
MEMORIAL (PRESBYTERI
AN .CHURCH, LOUISVILLE,
KY.
By Mrs. Rath M. Rogers.
Sunday night, September 27, ^
closed a very successful day for ^
group No. 1, of Ferguson Me- j
morial Presbyterian church. ]
Through our President, Mrs. .
Marguerite Nance, group No. 1 j
was favored with a very excel
lent program rendered by “The j
Helping Hand,”. ,a benevolent j
society of the cit|r, jorganized
some years ago by Dr. C. H. i
Parrish, President of Simmons
University. ]
The program was as follows: .
Song by the choir.
Scripture reading, Rev. Coxe.
Selection, Marquet male cho- 1
rus.
Welcome address, Mrs. Mc
Cauley. 1
Duett, Mrs. M. Brunson, Mrs.
M. Fountleroy.
Selection, “Little Flock.”
Paper, Mrs. Threkeld.
Song by choir.
Sermon, pastor, Rev. J. A.
Coxe, subject, “The Hand.”
Song, choir.
Remarks, Dr- C. H. Parrish.
Silver Offering.
Announcements.
This group, like the other
groups of the church, is doing
its part toward raising money
for the $500 rally to be held
October 25, and as our Presi
dent happened to be a member
of this great society, she voiced
the sentiment of our group in
asking this band of Christian
workers to be with us^and I
must say, group No. I was ben
efitted by “The Helping Hand.”
The welcome address, by Mrs.
McCauley, member of group No.
I, was very appropriate and I
am quite sure all knew they
were as welcome as “the flowers
in May” by the hearty welcome
extended by this young wom
an.
The pastor’s wife, Mrs. J. A.
Coxe, has given two entertain
ments at their home during the
past few weeks, for the benefit
of the rally. Both were success
ful.
The sermon on “The Hand”
by Rev. Coxe is not to be de
scribed. We only wish more of
Louisville could have heard it.
No less inspiring were the re
marks by Dr. Parrish. He em
phasized the strong point,
“What is in thine hand?”
We regret to note the illness
of Mrs. J. C. Buckner, life
member of Ferguson Memorial
church. We all wish for her an
early recovery.
Mr. Charles Brown, captain
of the “Whites,” losing side of
the Christian Endeavor Cam
paign for new members, is plan
ning a surprise entertainment
for an early date in October.
When in Louisville visit the
“Friendly Presbyterian church,”
12th and Madison Streets. You
are welcome .
ALBION ACADEMY NEWS
By John Martin.
Albion Academy opened its
doors Monday morning, Sep
tember 7, and a host of old and
new students entered for a
year of hard study.
The faculty has been re
newed a bit. Among the new
teachers are Prof. J. T. Turn
er, of the class of 1925, of
Johnson C. Smith University,
and Prof. Thomas Archer, of
the class of 1925, of Lincoln
University.
Sunday morning, October
10th, the Y. M- C. A. was led
by Mr. Angus McEachin. The
topic, “Self-Control,” was dis
cussed thoroughly by the
young men.
The football team defeated
Mary Potter School of Oxford,
Friday, October 9. The score
was 3-0. Both teams played
phenomenal football. The star
play of the game was made by
Jefferson Perry, of Albion, who
intercepted a forward pass and
ran 45 yards before being
downed by Thomas of Mary
Potter. The game was won by
the good judgment of Quarter
back Baker, within two min
utes of the time when he made
a drop kick from the twenty
yard line.
“Go ye,” Christ says to us,
as he said to his first mission
aries. “Go ye into all the
world,”' says Christ. For it is
all the world that needs the
gospel of his love.
