BARBER COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
Anniston, Alabama.
Let’s Go! This College, established to of
fer full College Courses for young wo
men of the Negro race, will open its sec
ond year, September 15,1925.
It is the only Presbyterian Woman’s
College for colored women in the world.
Like the colleges exclusively for women,
it encourages the ideals of true women
and offers courses of study for young
women such as the best women demand,
and such as prepare them for their spe
cial work. Through the noble generosi
ty of its founders with Presbyterian
ideals, Barber College makes it easier
for a girl with energy and ability to be
come a College Graduate, and reach her
highest usefulness.
Graduates, obtaining the College Di
ploma, will be able to meet the increased
requirements of the State Boards of Ed
ucation, and be fitted for all conditions
set for teaching and higher studies.
With an enlarged Faculty and increased
facilities, Barber College offers to capa
ble Negro women a great opportunity
for higher development, usefulness, and
privilege.
With it is associated Barber Memorial
Seminary which will continue to offer its
secondary courses of study and also act
as a Preparatory School for the College.
All the advantages of the Seminary, with
its able Faculty, increased facilities, and
attractive surroundings, will be open to
students of the College.
Located in the foot-hills of the Blue
Mountains in Northeastern Alabama,
the situation is unsurpassed. It would be
difficult, if not impossible, to find a bet
ter school building. Large rooms. Two in
a room. Steam heated. Electric lighted.
Newly furnished throughout. Modern in
every way. Plain, but plenty of food. Ab
solutely pure mountain spring water,
none better. Large Faculty. Small class
es. Personal supervision.
For further information, address the
President, Rev. John F. Scherer.

GOD IS NOT ELECTIVE.
“I have often thought of the
sentence that Dr. Stryker wrote
when they wrote him to know
what he thought of making
chapel exercises at Yale elective.
He wrote just one sentence:
*God is not elective.’ You may
leave French out or put French
in; you may leave German out
or put German in; but you can
not choose between leaving God
out or putting God into that
philosophy of life and that prep
aration of life which we mean
when we speak of education.”—
Bishop McDowell.
Some men think they need
more capital when all they re
ally need is more ingenuity.

FROM ETHEL, MISS.
We had a fine Sunday school
at Ethel Presbyterian church,
Sunday, September 13. All
seemed to enjoy the lesson.
After school was dismissed
we went into our services. Rev.
Van Horn Murray told the peo
ple our revival meeting would
not begin that day as every one
was expecting. The meeting
was put off until Thanksgiving
Day as many were tired from
attending meetings for a month
or more. He then preached a
fine sermon. His text was Isa
53:23.
At the night services we had
Rev. Miller, a Baptist preacher,
with us, who preached a beau
tiful sermon. His text was
Psalm 23:7. We enjoyed Bro.
Miller’s sermon very much.
