SEVENTH STREET
CHURCH NOTES.
By Mrs. Hallie Q. Mayberry.
With this issue of the Africa
please accept my resignation at
editor of the Seventh Streel
church column. I have greatly
enjoyed this work and regret tc
give it up, but as duties call me
elsewhere on the Sabbath I feel
that a regular attendant at the
services can give a fuller report
and write far more intelligently
than I. My interest in the
church will ever linger.
On last Sunday our pastor de
livered two strong and very
practical sermons. Sunday
morning he spoke from the
subject, “Humility.” His text
was Matt. 12:19. His subject
for Sunday evening was “La
boring with God,” text Luke 10:
2.
Five dollars was sent to Mr.
J. E. Hemphill, chairman of the
deacons’ board, by Mrs. F. P.
Sanders, of our church, who is
now residing in New York City.
The members of the church
greatly appreciate the interest
and financial support given by
the members outside of the
city.
The financial committee is
asking one hundred members to
raise or pay $10.00 each to the
support of the church by the
first Sunday in December.
An interestihg Christian En
deavor meeting was conducted
at our church on last Sunday
evening. -Among the musical
numbers were a solo by Little
Miss Helen Gibson and a duett
by Misses Catherine Yongue
and Lucile Henderson.
A Hallowe’en Party will be
giv'en at the home of Mrs. A. L\
Lindsay, 402 N. Alexander St.
tonight, Thursday. The proceeds
will benefit the Building Fund.
The members of the Seventh
Street Guild will hold the first
business meeting this afternoon

ranged an excellent program at
the close of which reports from
the Secretary and Treasurer
of the church were received.
Reports from all the organ
izations of the church for the
first six months’ work were
read. All the reports showed
progress along many lines. All
the auxiliaries seemed to be
alive, with a well organized pro
gram. A rising vote of thanks
was, given for these splendid re
ports. > .
Delicious cream and cake was
served at the close.

SEVENTH STREET GUILD
ORGANIZED.
On Thursday afternoon, Oc
tober 22nd, at 5 o’clock, a few
of the members of the West
minster Guild met at the home
of Mrs. Ada Andrews for the
purpose of disbanding. For some
time a controversy, has been go
ing on relative to the age limit
for members of the Westmin
ster Guild chapter. As most of
the members of the Westminster
Guild were above the age limit
required for Westminster chap
ters /the members deqmed it best
to reorganize and meet the re
quirements. The requirements
necessitated the organization of
fCV^tminster chapter and cir
cIe jv Bqth of these organiza
tions have been organized and
are doing excellent work.
Dti Wyche, the p&stor of the
church, was with us at this
meeting and acted as chairman.
Having full authority vested
in him by the members present,
he declared the Westminster
chapter dissolved. ...X’-.V
The new organization was
then perfected with the name,
Seventh Street Church Guild.
The officers are President, Mrs.
L. M. Alexander; Secretary,
Miss M. L. Lindsay; Treasurer,
Mrs. M. E. Muldrow. A motion
was made and carried that we
work under the World Service
Program.
The pastor stated that we
were not connected with any. lo
cal society, but are one of the
independent organizations of
the church.
The new organization was
constituted with prayer by the
pastor. Members present were:
Mesdames L. M. Alexander, M.
E. Muldrow, Ida Henderson, C.
M. Stafford, Isabella Ezell, An
geline Porter, Rosa Goodwin, Ju
lia Douglass, Janie Miller, Janie
Watson, Ada Andrews, Misses
Demetria Grier, Martha Young,
Marie Lindsay.
Mrs. Janie Watson and Mrs.
Janie Miller are new members
who have looked upon the work
of the Guild with such interest
that they desired to become
members.
At the close of this wonderful
meeting (we say wonderful be
cause of the spirit prevailing)
our hostess served a delicious
chicken salad course, followed
by ices.
The pastor was made to feel
he was at home to a regular
supper because of the appetiz
ing dishes placed before him. :

BARBER COLLEGE
NEWS
By Myrtle Brodie
On October the ninth, Mrs.
Agnes B. Snively, Secretary of
the Division of Missions for
Colored People, was a pleasant
visitor to this school. She
spent three days with us and
each day during her stay we
were favored with a chapel talk
from her. On Friday morning
during our devotional hour she
placed before us our responsi
bilities. In doing so she asked
us to give bur lives to God, to
place service in front of other
things of life and to answer the
call of the world. She impres
sively compared each student
to a lamp and urged each to live
such a life that the rays of her
light, when thrown upon others,
would be beneficial. The fol
lowing day she gave a talk to
us on “The Giving of Gifts,” at
which time she asked for us the
gifts of Prayer, Wisdom, Hon
or, Ambition, Duty, and the
Cultivation of Beauty, The talks
by Mrs. Snively will long be re
membered by us all.
The Sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper was observed at Calvary
on the II,th. Rey. Mr. Rice
preached ’ a glorious sermon
from Luke 29:19. The servic
es, were very impressive.
Our two Endeavor societies
held a joint meeting on Sunday
evening.' ‘ Mrs, ' Snively ad
dressed us, and Helen . Jones,
President of the Senior Christian
Endeavor, and Naomi Williams
gave reports of the work they
had done, the past; summer in
organizing paily Vacation Bible
School ih ' our . Synod, The
meeting was most interesting
and challenging CO the rest of
us. We anticipate touch inter
esting and effective work in
these societies this winter. i
Vesper services were conduct
ed as usual upon the catopus
Smith. She talked to us about
“God’s Garden” and left us all
questioning ourselves as to what
kind of plants we really were.
All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy, and our Dean
realizes this, so she permitted
UjS to attend the County Fair
on Friday and Saturday nights.
We enjoyed the outing very
much and were enabled to start
the next week refreshed and re
invigorated. .' V
Miss Kinhiburgh represented
the Mission Board at the meet
ing of ‘ Catawba Synpdical at
Charlotte last week and reports
a splendid meeting.
Prof. A. A. Adair ,of Chester,
S. C., was’a delightful visitor
on our campus Friday evening.
Miss Thelma Miller, a mem
ber of the Freshman class, was
called home last week to the
bedside of a near relative. We
mi,ss her and hope that she will
be back with us soon.
Barber College has ... indeed
been honored by visitors lately.
(Jn Saturday morning Kev. Wil
liam,. Ralph Hall, Director of
Young People’s Work in the
Prpsvbyterian Chqrch, U. S. A.,
came to. spend twenty-four
hours with us. It was his first
visit to our school. He was
personally . acquainted with
many of our teachers and so he
wa,s especially interested in see
ing the work of the school. Dur
ing his stay he delivered two
wonderful addresses. . He spoke
to us on “Life, the Greatest
Thing in the Worl.” He told us
of the "importance of building
life’s structure well and care
fully. We learnedJ that honesty
andr self-controlM are essential
factors in the building of life.
The talks given by Mr. Hall
still remain dearly in the minds
of the'Students.; - 1

'“Bless the Lord, 0 my soul;
and all' that is within me, bless
his holy name. Bless the Lord,
0 my soul, and forget not ail his
benefits,” etc. The theme of this
discourse was “Our Attitude to
God for Past Blessings.” This
was indeed a strong sermon.
