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 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 every way. Plain, but plenty of food. Ab solutelypure '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. A well-equipped School under the care of the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, Division for Colored People, for the Higher Education and Industrial Training of young women. A Seminary Course or High School Academic Course for those desiring to prepare for College, and a High School Normal Course for those desiring special prepara tion for teaching. There can no longer be any question among the friends of Scotia as to her being on the accredited list, inasmuch as the graduates of this year were each grant ed by the State Board of Public Instruction an Elemen tary B Certificate for three years. An Industrial Course, including Domestic Arts and Sciences, with special instruction in Sewing and Cook ing. for those desiring special preparation in these lines. Also a course in Music, including Piano, Public School Music, and Chorus Work. There are two large Dormitories with pleasant rooms, steam heated, electrically lighted, and pleasantly situat ed in a large and beautiful campus near the center of the city on Concord and convenient to the Railroad sta tion* For catalogue, application blanks, and any desired in formation, address the President, REV. T.R. LEWIS, D.D. A great musician once said: “If I go a single day without practicing, I can tell the differ ence when I touch ,the keys of my instrument." So if the Christian goes for one day without real communion with the heavenly Father it lowers the tone of his spiritual life. Nowhere does constancy count for so much as in the right cul tivation of one’s religious na ture.—Southern Methodist. Vaat is the mighty ocean, but drops have made it vast. De- ' spise not the day of small things, either for evil or for < good; for a look may work thy : ruin, or a work create thy < wealth.—Tupper. < SOME NEEDS OF CATAWBA (Continued from page 1) the accursed cotton plant crowding the very threshold of their rude dwellings and thrust ing its limbs into their, very windows, their lot is indeed pit iable. ‘Their sons and daughters come to manhood and woman hood, desert the farm and are lost in some distant communi ty. Finally, when their pil grimage is over, they are laid to rest in the rude churchyards of the country; others take their plaices and continue the fight. They have established no per manent home, their kith and kin are scattered far and wide, and the places that knew them once know them no more for ever.” I cite these instances to show that the country life problem is one of the greatest problems confronting America today and the church must take the lead ership in the solution of the problem, sfiid one step in the direction of a solution is to give to the rural church a more ad equate pastoral ministry. Among the needs of Catawba Presbytery to which I have called attention are: 1. A minis try and eldership that are more informed about and more deep ly interested in the organiza tion and Program of our Church. 2. A more business like grouping of the churches in our bounds. And 3. More pas toral oversight of the churches, especially those in small towns and rural districts. The first step, though, of any program of reformation will call for more of our time as minis ters. This is an issue, brethren, that we must face squarely. What is going to be the major interest in our lives, the minis try of the Word of God or ser vice in some secular capacity ? I know something about the struggle we all must face to eke out an existence in these days of the high cost of living. I know something about the anx ieties that bear heavily upon us because of pressing obligations, and yet, brethren, I am con Tmcechgf thrfgctthat "thyme? ment we let some secular voca tion overshadow our call as ambassadors of God we seri ously handicap ourselves for usefulness in His Kingdom. Any time that a minister is so tied up that he can not get away to give the needed time to the attendance of the Church courts and other meetings for the advancement of the cause of the Church he has incapaci tated himself for usefulness. Or to be more specific, any time a minister is tied up in a public school work from 6 to 9 months in the year, it means that he has mortgaged his major inter est to the State and that he is going to be prohibited from do ing the most essential part of his duty, which is the pastoral work of his parish. I am not bringing an indict ment against members of our Presbytery who are so shackled and handicapped, but I am bringing an indictment against us as a Presbytery for failing to make plans to remedy this evil. I believe as a Presbytery we ought to seek to emancipate our ministers from this semi serfdom in which they are en thralled. What we want to do in our Presbytery is to develop more men of character, men of cour age, men of honesty. This can not be done as long as we have to resort to subterfuge, pad re ports, and make other misrep resentations just to get by. I believe every one of us de sires to give full-time service to the Church as all true ambas sadors of God should. But un der the system that we have been operating it has been out of the question to do so on an average salary of a thousand dollars a year or less and part of that coming with no system of regularity or uniformity. The Presbytery of Catawba ought to have a commission to study this entire matter of min isterial service and support, rhis commission should lay its findings and recommendations before Presbytery. When the natter of service and support las been carefully worked out the Presbytery should strictly mforee its policy. For it is un- i fair, unethical and bad prece- , lent to have men serving two < lifferent fields at the same sal- i . — ary, yet one gives his entire time to the development of the one field and the other is al lowed to reduce his service to a maximum of 4 days to a month and is permitted to engage in other lines of service that take up his full time Brethren, 1 do not know how you feel about these matters that we have discussed. But I can speak for myself; they weigh very heavily upon my heart. Some of us as individ uals may sit back complacently and say these matters do not concern us I want to say that no individual that is a member of this Presbytery can escape responsibility for the conditions that we face. And I for one serve notice now that as long as I am a member of this Pres bytery I will be found working vigorously for the reforms that I have outlined here this eve ning. Or will be found heartily supporting reforms suggested by other members of the Pres bytery that will accomplish the same ends. EBENEZER CHURCH, NEW BERN, Adopts Resolutions on the Life and Death of Mrs. Bessie R, • Sanders. Whereas, it hath pleased our Heavenly Father to come again into our midst and to remove from labor to reward one of our co-workers, Mrs. Bessie Rattley Sanders; and Whereas, she was the devoted wife of our pastor, Rev. O. E. Sanders, a teacher in the Sab bath school, a member of the Missionary society, and a most useful member of the Stitch and Chatter club, a club of young women which she organ ized as a part of the working force of Ebenezer; and Whereas, though quiet and retiring, she was always study ing and bringing forth plans and suggestions to further the use fulness and scope of the society and club, and through them making larger and more effec tive the work of the church; and Whereas, though in our midst has made her influence felt and has done faithfully the tasks assigned to her and has been a blessing both in the church and the community, Be it Resolved, first, that we, the members of Ebenezer Presbyterian church, Sabbath School, Missionary Society and Stitch and Chatter Club, bow in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father. Second, that we extend to the bereaved husband, sister, brother and aunts our deepest sympathy in this their sore af fliction. Third, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the be reaved family, and to the Afri co-American Presbyterian for publication, and that a copy be kept in the records of our church and Sabbath school and club. No parting yonder, and no sad good-byes No pain, no sickness, and no weeping eyes; But, best of all, my Saviour I shall see, No cloud will come between my Lord and me. No burden yonder, all sorrow past; No burden yonder, home at last/' Respectfully submitted by Committee on Resolutions, HON. R. W. WILLIAMSON, Senior Elder. MISS W. G. BLACKLEDGE, Sabbath school.
