We can never get entirely away
from the thought that "life is. real
and lifo is earnest." Christ is the:
hope of the soul, the hope of society,
the hope of the world. There is no
Mb*tllute for Him. And there is
no healing for the world's wounds
apart from Hint. But t.he indivi i
dual must take Him in earnest, so-:
eiety must- take Him in earnest, the
world mast take Him in earnest. We
most take Him in earnest. We must
believe thoroojthly in the workability
of Hie program which means that
we ehut put His program to work.

Six Person County children have
been sent to the Orthopaedic Hospital
in Gastonia for treatment, and
have been wonderfully benefitted.
There are a number of other little
helpless boys and girls in the Coonty
who should have this treatment.
The requirements for admission to
the Hospital are:
1. Possibility of improvement.
2. Sound m%id.
3. Inability to pay for services
rendered.
Each application blank has to be
signed by the family physician, the
cashier of a bank, one of the County
Commissioners, and one other county
officer. All this Is done to prove
that if is la worthy case, that the
parents ar^ unable to pay for treatment.
The State of North Caroline pays
all expenses for board, laundry, surgeons
and nurses. We sinrply have
to (pay for transportation getting the
children to and from iGastonia.
Some of the children have made
several trips for treatment at dif
ferent times. We think the average
expense for each child will be about
$50.00.
|The money for the work that has
already been done has been donated
principally by individuals, in
amounts ranging from $1.00 to
$50. 00. Mt. Zion Church has paid
the expenses of a child from that
neighborhood, by raising the money
throujrh different organizations?
The Epworrth League, The Woman's
Missions ry Society and the Junior
Order of the neighborhood.
We need more money. We need
it urgently and at once. Will you
send us a check for $1.00 or more
rinrht away ? Think of rebuilding a
little twisted body for $50.00!?Of

Roxboro Rotarians Have Ladies
Night.
1 Last Thursday night the Roxboro
Rotary Club observed Ladies Night, t
'and-it was a delightful social affair. |J
The principal attraction was the ad- a
(."dresa by Rev. Sid Bost of Durham, t
; If you ever heard Mr. Bost you know, 1
what you missed, but if you have not v
had that pleasure then take our ad-1 g
[vice ond' do so at the very first op- a
J xrrtunity. p
fihere were aeberal members lof j,
the Durham Rotary present and the a
Herald carried the following item r
concerning the meeting: 0
J^fierc is a strong bond of friend
gnnip, and fellowship, between the o
Rotary clubs of Durham and Rox- ^
boro, almost akin to that of Jonathan
and (David. The Durhamitic '
members rotate over to Roxboro. J;
and the Roxboroeans ijn turn rotate
over to Durham. A splendid hard- c
surface road binds the towns toirether,
and make sthe distance only 3
a ferw minutes.
(Thursday evening the Roxboro *
Rotary club observed ladies' night, *
and gave a moet delightful -luncheon,
which was attended by the wives *
and sweethearts of the members, *
and it was an eveing of splendid
social enjoyment.' Durahm was well
represented on this occasion, as several
frinds here accepted invita- 8
tions to attend. Rev. S. S. Bost, J
V. Dermott and M. S. Llewellyn, of
this Qitly, motored over and were r
