The program starts at 11 o’clock, Ruih Milleit Has Soothing Word For Irish By RUTH MILLETT K was probably just human for the Irish to get riled up over the will of Mrs. Bernard Shaw, who left $400,000 to teach the Irish elocution, self-control, and deport ment. Nobody likes to have it hint ed that his per sonality could be improved upon. But actually Mrs. Shaw’ s money, if it buys ^hat she wished it to, couldn’t be better spent. In part, her will says: ‘‘I have had many oppor tunities of ob serving the ex. tent to which the most highly in structed and cap- Ruth Millett able persons have their efficiency defeated and their influence limit ed for the want of any ’organized instruction and training for per sonal contracts. . . and how theii employment in positions for whic*1 they have valuable qualifications is made socially impossiblle by vulgarities of speech and other defects easily as corrigible by teaching and training as simple literacy.” mere is reaiiy no reason iui her neighbors to get their Irish up over that because what Mrs. Shaw says of the ppeople of her husband’s country is equally true of the people of other countries. SAD AWAKENING We have a very real example of what Mrs. Shaw is talking aboui right here in America. Lool around you at many of the people who hold good jobs today ever though they don’t know anythin; about the simplest rules of cour tesy. They have their jobs now be cause jobs are plentiful. But whei jobs are scarce again, the em ployees who don’t know how ti behave in the business world ar< going to be out in the cold. They would benefit by a care ful reading of Mrs. Shaw’s forth right will. -V Twice cracked, the Liberty Bel was recast in Philadelphia. /TOU WOMEN WHO SUFFER FROMv HOT FUMES If you suffer from hot flashes, weak, nervous Irritable feelings, are a bit blue at times—due to the func tional "middle-age" period peculiar to women—try Lydia E.

A. Huggins of Raleigh, and the Rev. Jacob Gartenhaus of Atlanta, Ga. Dr. McMilllan, who spent seven months in a Japanese interment camp, said he had derived great faith from associating with Chi nese Christians and had found that the Grace of God was suf ficient for all things through pray er.

He added that of the 2,550 churches in the convention 1,800 were rural and were not go ing to be ignored in convention work. He urged wider interest in foreign missions. Gartenhaus told the audience the persecution of the Jews in Europe had made many of them Chris tians and commented that they were realizing that only by the principles of Christ could there by any peace. Today’s session was opened with devotional exercises led by Miss Cleo Mitchell of Meredith College, Raleigh, after which Mrs. J. S. Farmer of Raleigh, president, sub mitted her report.
