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 ploma, will be able to meet the increased requirements of the State Boards of Ed ucation, and be fitted for all conditions set for teaching and higher studies. With an enlarged Faculty and increased ^facilities, Barber College offers to capa ble Negro women a great opportunity for higher development, usefulness, and privilege. 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. 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 a room. Steam heated. Electric lighted. Newly furnished throughout. Modern in solutely pure mountain spring water, none better. Large Faculty. Small class es. Personal supervision. For further information, address the President, Rev. John F. Scherer. SCOTIA WOMEN’S COLLEGE CONCORD, N. C.

Also a course in Music, including Piano, Public School Music, and Chorus Work.

For catalogue, application blanks, and any desired in formation, address the President, REV. T.R. LEWIS, D.D. MT. TABOR CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday morning our pastor, Dr. J. L. Hollowell, deliv ered an excellent sermon from Acts 8:29, “Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.” At three o'clock the Mission ary Society had a pew rally and gave a short program. Mrs. Hollowell assisted us in the pro gram. We are always glad to have her with us. The Oakland choir rendered some fine music for the occasion. The neat sum of $27.05 was raised. We thank the people so much for helping us out. We were glad to have with us in our rally Mrs. Taylor oi New York, who made a good talk on Missionary work. She has been a President of the Missionary Society for 35 years, and there fore knows something about missionary work. Our Sunday school is getting on nicely . MINISTERING TO THE NEG LECTED CHILDREN OF THE COMMUNITY. By Miss Y. Louise Davis. This is indeed a great sub ject, and an important one. We live in one of the most enlight ened ages man has ever known. We now glide through the air with the ease of an evening swallow. We sail over the wa ter in our own private yachts. We put on our diving suits and explore the bottom of the sea. There is not any realm man has not touched or attempted to .touch—why, we even attempted to communicate with the planet Mars. In our schools children are being cared for, at least physi cally and mentally, and Christian parents and philanthropists are holding and supporting Daily Vacation Bible Schools in order that their children’s education might be threefold; that is, phy sical, mental and spiritual. But, are the children getting this training? Are all being cared for as they should be? 1 answer sadly, No! No! Some parents, for apparently no rea son, wilfully neglect their chil dren. Others have not the means wherewith to supporl their children, and, justifying themelves by this reason, leave their training to others, saying, giving them food and housing is enough—failing to realize tha1 “as the children of today are so will be the men and womer of tomorrow.” And still others allow their children to roam un tutored and uncared for. Observing and realizing this uplift clubs have been organized to go into the community and search out the needy; and most Sunday school teachers and some pupils make of themselves missionaries and go into the humble homes and wherever the neglected children are found Now, quite naturally, the question arises, How shall we minister to them? First, we must get into conversation with them and make them love us and make them believe we love them and are friends to them; then, in a tactful way, find out something df their home life, parents, school hab its, environments, and their re ligious training. You will notice, no doubt, I put religious training last, and rightly so, because we must have the physical right first be fore we can successfully admin ister to the mental; and with the two, physical and mental, in working order, we can press the spiritual. Many a little dirty urchin would love to be clean and tidy and to sit welcomed with other boys and girls in a day or Sun day school class; and it is here, I believe, the parochial schools of our Church stand in class A, because many a one who is on the upward road now would not have been, were it not for some good parochial teacher. The Sabbath school and paro chial or day pupils, too, should go around and invite pupils that are not in school to come to school. Children should be taught not to scorn a less fa vored child, but consider it his or her duty to help the less for tunate because “One is our Master, even Christ, and all we are brethren.” When we have gotten them into the day and Sunday school let us not feel our duty done. When they are absent, go to see about them; when they are sick, minister unto them; if they be hungry, feed them; if they be without clothing, dress them up. “And it may be that the chil dren We have led with trembling hand, May be found among His jewels In that far and better land/' Lynchburg, Va. “We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do and loads to lift, Shun not the battle; face it; 'tis God’s gift. Be strong!" ST. JAMES CHURCH GREENSBORO Sunday morning Rev. H. C. Miller spoke from Matt. 25:10, “And the door was shut." By way of introduction, the speaker related the ancient custom of marriages and the wedding feasts attending, etc. The speak er said that opportunities come to all men. The results but in dicate whether these opportuni ties were used or neglectd until the door was shut. Here he made historical re ferences to men and na tions who waited until the doer was shut. The speaker did not mince words in showing to the members of St. James the splendid chance they had for service, citing the fact that right here we have more class es in the Sunday school than there are teachers to man them; that it would be easy to run the enrollment up to 350 instead of 215 but for the fact that men and women of ability are sleep ing on the job; that classes are going to pieces for lack of teach ers. God, said the speaker, will transfer this opportunity to some other church if we fail to rise to the occasion, and, for us, the door will be shut. The Sunday school was large ly attended. Banner for finance has been with Up and Doing class for the past five Sabbaths, while attendance banner re mains with Earnest Workers. Three persons volunteered to take classes in the Sunday school after the morning’s dras tic appeal by the pastor. Those attending Synod of Ca tawba which met at Charlotte were: Rev. Miller, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. McNair, Mrs. E. B. Meares, and Mr. W. L. McNair, Jr. ine missionary society gaye their monthly program Sunday night in the presence of an ap preciative audience. Mrs. R. E. McNair, the President, told of the doings of the Synodical at Charlotte. Many were the things suggested to make the work grow. Selections were given by St. James male quar tett, "Mr. WT L. McNair, Jr.7 Mrs. S. W. Carter, and a paper by Mrs. E. C. Miller. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bridg es made the trip to Charlotte Saturday afternoon, returning with Mrs. Meares at night. Mrs. Mary Oldham continues on the sick list. Her many friends hope she will soon be able to be out again. Mr. R. S. Alexander spent last Sunday in Gastonia visiting his sister. He reported a very pleas ant trip. The Women’s Missionary So* icety met with Mrs. Andrew Bridges last Thursday after noon on McGhee Street. The meeting was very brief as the President was attending Syn od. After the meeting ice cream and cake were served very liber ally by the hostess. The Christian Endeavor So ciety met at the. residence of Mr. and Mrs. Burgin on Market Street Tuesday evening. Each member and visitor recited a poem. Much business was dis cussed in general. Refresh ments were served plentifully at the close of the meeting. Mr. D. D. Carter, of New York City, N. Y., was in the city last week visiting his mother and brothers, leaving last Friday night enroute to Miami, Fla., where he will open an art shop, specializing in cocoanut souve nirs. YAUK1JN WKoTKKM (Continued from page 1) Morton. He read as his Scrip* ture -lesson John 14:1-15. Just before the sermon there was a solo by Mr. Jno. H. Smith, “The Harvest Field Is White,” his own composition. Rev. Morton took as his subject, “Peace,” based upon John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.” The peace that Jesus Christ gives is a perfect peace, a peace that the world cannot give. The world gives a mixture of peace with trouble, sorrow and dissatisfaction. The world can not give you the peace that will satisfy. This was indeed a powerful sermon and was enjoyed by all. After prayer by Mr. Jno. A. Smoot, Mr. Jno. H. Smith sang a solo, “He Will Whisper Sweet Peace to Your Soul.” Donations to the Chime Clock Fund to Date. Delegates to School of JXLC?vUUUo .. .
