RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
Methodist Orphanage.

Form of Bequest.
I give and bequeath to the Methodist Or
phanage situated at Raleigh, N. 0.,
(Here designate the bequest.)
I wish to call the attention of our
friends to the fact that we have now
two hundred and fifteen children in
our Home. To feed, clothe and ed
ucate this large number taxes us to
the utmost. Unless our friends con
tinue to rally to our support we shall
face a serious situation. Provisions,
clothes and all other things have
greatly advanced during these recent
months. With a growing faith in
the goodness and generosity of our
Methodist folks, I face the future
with confidence, knowing that all our
needs will be supplied.

Just one dollar came to us last
week for our kitchen equipment. It
is earnestly hoped that there may be
a more general response during the
coming week to this most worthy
cause. It is impossible for our
friends to realize just how seri
ously handicapped we are with our
present poor equipment. Let me iiri?e
all the women of the Church to make
a sacrifice and send us help NOW.

Just a few words to our Sunday
school Superintendents and schools.
All our Sunday-school workers are
particularly anxious to make their
schools a great success. Candidly, I
believe that one of the best ways to
infuse new life and enthusiasm into
all our Sunday-schools is to commit
them to doing something definite for
our Methodist Orphanage, the pet In
stitution of our Conference. Many
of our most succesful workers in
the various schools have told me they
have found nothing that helps them
to keep sustained enthusiasm like
giving a monthly collection to the
Orphanage. Dear workers, let me
urge you to throw the weight of
your influence on the side of this In
stitution of the Conference. By
committing your schools to our cause
both will be mutually benefited.

Several years ago when I was pas
tor of the Oxford Circuit I had the
pleasure and privilege of meeting and
knowing many of the best people in
Granville and Vance Counties. The
pleasant and holy association of
those years will always be to me a
most precious heritage.
A few weeks ago when I made a
business trip to Oxford I had the
pleasure of spending a night with my
good friend, Brother J. P. Hunt. For
three years Brother Hunt and his
cultured family stood nobly by me
in all the work of the Church. No
one can partake of their hospitality
and enjoy their delightful fellowship
without realizing that they are
among some of the best people of
our State. Few parents are so for
tunate in bringing up their children.
In this home culture and pure and
undefiled religion are happily blend
ed. I feel the richer for having had
the privilege of being guest in this
Christian home.

After a month and a half of pa
tient waiting our little boys have
moved out of the laundry building to
the Page Building. The boys in the
Page Building moved into the new
Dormitory which has just been com
pleted and accepted by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trus
tees. Of course the little boys are
very happy to get into the commo
dious Page Building after being
crowded together in one big room.
The large boys are equally as happy
to move into their new building. It
would be hard to find a better build
ing of its kind any where in the
State. Those who have made this
needed building possible have the
gratitude of all our children. The
Board of Trustees feels very grate
ful to the Methodists and friends
who have so generously contributed
to this worthy cause. It is need
less to say that the writer feels very
happy over seeins fifty of our large
boys comfortably 'domiciled in this
new building. He hereby extends his
sincere thanks to all the people of
the North Carolina Conference for
their hearty co-operation and liberal
contributions.

WALKING THE 11KST SPUING
TOXIC.
YTalk some every day, has been
prescribed as a preventive of spring
fever. But this does not mean
walking in and about the house or
standing on your feet while at work.
It means going for a walk in the
open air and sunshine, relaxing mind
and body, leaving cares behind and
enjoying walking for the good it
will do.
As Spring comes on the body. re
quires extra attention. It needs ton
ing up in order to properly adjust
itself to the change of season, and
to completely recover from the bad
effects of high temperatures and in
door living during the winter. Hut
drugs, pills, and purgatives are not
needed. They do more harm than
good. Spring tonics that are worth
while are exercises that will take
you out in the open air, sufficient
and regular rest of mind and body,
and a diet mainly of fruits and veg
etables. Walking every day in the open
air is particularly recommended,
whether it be walking to work or
walking for health sake. As to the
health value of walking, Dr. Wil
liam A. Howe says:
"This means of improving health,
like fresh air, is within the reach
of most people. Its energizing in
fluence should be more widely util
ized. A reasonable distance should
be walked every day, regardless of
weather conditions. It is not well
to walk so rapidly or so far as to
induce fatigue from which one does
not promptly recover. Neither is
it advisable to walk rapidly in the
face of a strong wind, or on a rough
road, or in ascending a hill. Un
less already accustomed to walking
it is far better to begin by going a
short distance each day, at a mod
erate pace, gradually increasing the
distance and speed."
Oh, that we could always think of
God as we do of a friend, as of One
who loves us even more than we do
ourselves! Richard Baxter.

ADVOCATE PIANO ( lu
PROTECTS YOU.
Since the European war broi
in 1914 the cost of everything T
goes into the making of a thorouT
ly reliable piano has been stearin
advancing. As a result many m I
ufacturers have lowered the qual
of their instruments and many
ers will suffer disappointment
sooner or later. The best maker
have refused to do this, preferring
to suffer temporarily rather than t
ruin their reputations permanently
The Club has met the situation
most perfectly, and its advantages
to the piano buyer were never so
marked as now. While the quality
of many makes of pianos is being
sacrificed, the quality of the Club's
pianos is unchanged and the guar
antees remain the same. In piac!
ing your order through the Club
you will avoid the risk of disap
pointment, for the Club gives you
absolute protection as to the qual
ity and durability of your instru
ment. The convenient terms of pay.
ment and big saving in price, which
results from clubbing your order
with those of ninety-nine other Club
members in a great wholesale trans
action, make it decidedly to your
advantage to place your order
through the Club. Write for illus
