The school prospered -the future was bright, everybody was delight ed. Then came the world war, call ing our boys away and sadlv dis rupting the work. For a number of years the situa tion was unsettled and uncertain. Then the men of the Church toow charge. The farm was run down and badly in need of drainage. Its lo cation was a handicap, far from Asheville, and the roads, sometimes impassable. Tile Men's committee, headed by Mr. II. A. Osborne, labor ed diligently, and Mr. Osborne crave loyally and unstintedly of his valu able lime. Several Superintendents served successively anil gradual im provement was made. Under Mr. J. K. Lancaster, the soggy bottom acreage was drained and converted into fine farming lands and diligent effort was made to place the farm in position to as sume a larger measure of self-sup port. A I lllie time the development of sturdy Christian manhood was par amount and numbers of boys have gone out into really useful Chris tian citizenship a. result of Mr. and Mrs. Slagle's splendid deed and Asheville Presbytery's generous sup port.

Consid erable expense has been incurred for seed, fertilizer, etc., and this is added to bills payabl.e "hilt! ine hoys are waiting lor Cod s sunshine and rain and their own hard licks to contribute toward their support? won't YOU ? a friend of homeless boys, send your check now to R. L. Prevost, Treasurer, Waynesville, N. C., or to Dr. R. P. Smith, Asheville. The NEED is pressing ? Cod is calling. Help these boys NOW. Asheville Presbytery has always responded. ? Contributed.
