to the boys and girls on the duty they

Most people who Study shorthand do
so because of the opportunity it af
fords of earning a livelihood. It is ab
solutely true that in no other direction
I can a young man or woman so readily
obtain a foothold on the ladder which
leads to business success. Shorthand,
like the telephone, the telegraph, and
the trans-continental express, lias be
come one of the indispensable mediums
of modern business. It is sometimes
said that letters are "the silent sales
men of the business world.” By means
of letters the American business man
reaches out to the uttermost parts of
the earth and gets business in every
city, in every town and village, to which
the mails are oarried.

A TRIBUTE TO REV. EDGAR TUFTS
‘Faithful unto .Heath" Is the -record
of the life of ,cne of God’s noblemen,
the Rev. Edgar Tufts, of Banners Elk,
North Carolina, who died Saturday
morning, December 6th. His fatal ill
ness was doubtless contracted through
exposure to cold and contagion In min
istering tn the people to whom he ded
icated his life, as pastor and teacher,
friend and counsellor.
His idea of duty was revealed in his
answer to the question of a fellow stu
dent as they were leaving the seminary
for their respective fields of service.
His -friends, knowing he had calls to
several attractive places, asket? why
he had chosen Banners Elk, then con
sidered one of the worst places in
North Carolina. His answer was prompt
and characteristic: "That is the rea
son I am going there." .His choice has
been fully justified by the change
wrought through his unfaltering devo
tion to his purpose, to make the bad
good, and the good better.
Without a church building o? school
house, he preached wherever he could
gather a little congregation and taught
a few children arouhd. his study fire,
on winter evenings. His kindness and
tact quickly won the. confidence and
Inenusiiip of his immediate neighbors
and later the support and co-operation
of friends in this and other states.
This small beginning has grown into
the Banners Elk Presbyterian church,
Lees-McRae institute, witn graaea ana
high school departments, Grace hospi
tal, and Grandfather orphanage.
The church has an active and grow
ing membership,' which for some years
has worshipped in a beautiful and ar
tistic building of native stone, erected
by native workmen—a building that
could not be erected in a city for less
than thirty or forty thousand dollars
The Lees-McRae institute, • until re
cently housed In three wooden build
ings, has already sent out more than a
thousand girls, some of them making
Christian homes as wives and mothers,
some serving as teachers and trained
nurses. These wooden buildings are
being replaced by larger permanent
stone buildings, one already completed
and Mr. Tufts had the joy of knowing
that the ground was broken for the
second before his death.
The wooden Grace hospital building
is now being replaced by a substantial,
well-equipped brick building. This
hospital, though handicapped by lack
of space and equipment, has nobly met
a great need in a large and scattered
I community, and this new building with
its complete equipment will enable Dr.
Tate and his assistants to render a
larger service to an even larger terri
tory.
Grandfather orphanage has grown
: from a small house, accommodating a
dozen children, to a large plant com
I prising buys’ and girls' dormitories,
(school and industrial buildings, and a
baby cottage. Under the superinten
dency of Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb, with
their efficient helpers, these buildings
house a happy family of more than 50
children of school age, and the baby
cottage will care for about twenty ba
bies. The orphanage farm contributes
largely to the support of orphanage
and schools. The electric light plant,

"Tanlac built me up twenty-two
pounds, gave me good health in. place
of misery, and 1 am glad of the chance
to tell how thankful I am.” declared
M. F. Cook, a well-known farmer and
mica miner of Belwood, N. C.
“My stomach got out of order sev
eral years aeo and just kept getting
■worse till I was mighty badly run
down. Everything I ate disagreed with
me and I got so I was afraid of food,
and had no appetite. Sour stomach,
gas and dizziness made my troubles a
hundred times worse. I had splitting
headaches one right after another, and
never could get a good night’s sleep.
"Soon as I started on Tanlac I began
to get better. Now I have an appetite
I can hardly ’satisfy, sleep like a log
and feel so good all over I can do as
much work as any man. I can’t rec
ommend tanlac too strongly.”

Mr, Tufts' enthusiasm for service
was infectious, and drew to him a porps
of teachers and other helpers, of mis
sionary spirit, on salaries less than
half paid for similar service elsewhere,
thus enabling him to offer educational
opportunities at V6ry low cost.
This great cahtructive work, built up
out of nothing under his direction, will
be his permanent monument. But his
best memorial is in the hearts and
lives of those whom he has served, and
those who have served with him. His
genefous and active guidance and co
