BARBER COLLEGE FOR WOMEN |
Anniston, Alabama.
Let's Go! This College, established to of- \
ter full College Courses for young wo- |
men of the Negro race, will open its sec- l
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, i
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 f
for a girl with energy and ability to be- g
come a College Graduate, and reach her
highest usefulness. f
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 t
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 :j
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 j
students of the College. j|
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.

EDWARD WEBB CHURCH
By Mrs. J. H. Clement
“0 give thanks unto the Lord
for he is good: because his
mercy endureth forever.” Psa.
118: 1. These were the words
of the text used by our pastor,
Rev. J. H. Clement in our
Thanksgiving service. “Oh,
. i
how thankful we should be,” he
said, “for what the Lord has
done for us during the past
year. We have not had a link
broken in the church member
ship; not once has our church
bell tolled for a funeral. We
should all give God thanks for
He has been merciful unto us.”
We had a splendid program.
All seemed to enjoy it, and the
little folks did well. Master
John Young, age 5, recited in a
pleasing manner. The little folks
felt that this part of the ser
vice was theirs. f1
Master Thomas M. Gilmer and
Little Miss Esther Young lifted
the offering. A neat sum was
realized.
Miss Mabel Gordon spent
Thanksgiving with her parents.
Mr. Joe Greenwood, Miss Ed
na Kirk and Mr. J. Kirk, of
Booneville, spent several hours
in the city Sunday.
The Missionary Society met
at the parsonage Friday eve
ning and will hold the next
meeting at the home of Mrs.
George Coble.
The little folks are wide
awake. Some have paid their
rally money in order that San
ta Claus will leave something
on the Christmas Tree. The
happiest moments of my life are
when I have a crowd of little
folks around me trying to train
them to do work for the Mas
ter. How sweet were the words
of the Savious when He said,
“Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of
heaven.”
ST. JAMES CHURCH
GREENSBORO
By Mrs. S. W. Carter
Sunday, December 13, Com
munion was administered at
both the morning and evening
services. Each service was well
attended. Rev. H. C. Miller
spoke from Romans 5:8 and
John 15:13, using as a theme,
“Christ’s Coming to Save Man
is the Greatest Expression of
Unmerited Love.” The speaker
contrasted the love of parents
to children, of patriot to his
his country with the love of God
as manifested through the giv
ing of His Son. The service was
enriched by the singing of Mr.
W. L. McNair, Jr.
The Missionary Society met
with Mrs. Roxie Watkins last
Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Wat
kins is a recent addition to our
church work and is showing
herself extremely interested in
building up the church. At the
conclusion of the meeting deli
cious refreshments were served.
The trustees of St. James
placed an order last week for
the installation of pews in the
church, hoping to have this done
by the meeting of Presbytery.
Much credit is given the ladies
of the Missionary Society who
made on the first payment $235;
also the S. S. , Earnest Workers
and Up and Doing Bible classes
and the Male Sextet. Each
made a creditable showing on
this venture.
Mr. Lee Scott continues on
the sick list. His many friends
hope to see him out soon.
The St. James Male Sextet to
gether with the Female Quartet
gave a recital at Thomasville
last Monday night. The effort
was quite a success. The Sex
tet is composed of the follow
ing: Messrs. Arthur Booker,
Robt. Gillespie, Wm. Barber,
Wm. Turner, Frank Jordan and
Rev. H. C. Miller. Mr. W. L.
McNair is special singer, Mr.
A. Bridges, pianist.
The Female Quartet is com
posed of the following: Mrs.
E. B. Meares, Mrs. E. G. Miller,
Mrs. R. E. McNair and Mrs. S.
W. Carter.
The Sunday school was large
ly attended Sunday. The ban
ner for finance was won by
Earnest Workers Bible class,
while Up and Doing won the
attendance banner.
The Sextet will appear in re
cital at Sanford Monday night,
December 14th, and at Salisbu
ry during the holidays.
Quite a successful entertain
ment was given by Up and Do
ing class last Tuesday night in
the basement of the Church. A
neat sum was realized.
Mr. Robert Gillespie and Rev.
Miller spent last Thursday in
Salisbury in the interest of the
recital by the Sextet. They re
port having had a pleasant trip.
Mrs. Laura Bridges is indis
posed at this writing. Her many
friends and Sunshine Band
(Young People’s Class) missed
her from service on Sunday.
LISBON SPRINGS CHURCH,
LOWELL.
Sunday morning, December 13,
Rev. L. C. Alexander spoke
from Habakkuk 2:4, using the
thane: “The Just Shall Live
by Faith.” The speaker ex
plained to u the real meaning
of the theme. He went on to
say that by the resultsof faith
the just shall live, and not by
works or merit.
He went on to say, further,
that a man being good is not
all that is necessary to make
him fit for the kingdom of God,
but there must be a cpmplete
surrender of his heart and soul
to God, and he must have faith
to take God at His word. Abra
ham believed in God and it was
counted to him for righteous
ness,” and for the faith and
trust that Abraham had in
God’s word, his seed were
blessed. This is a splendid ex
ample of trust, said he, of a man
who deposited his faith in God’s
Bank of Trust'. And any man
who will deposit his faith in
God’s i5ank of Trust cannot
fail.
We ar^ glad to note that Mr.
Frank bioan, a member of our
churcn, who met with an acci
dent some time ago and has
been in the Good Samaritan
Hospital, of Charlotte, is geting
along nicely and is able to be at
home again.
We were pleased to have Miss
Brown, oi Wooster, Mass., who
is now a teacher in the Graded
School of Lowell, as a visitor at
our church services Sunday
morning.
Miss Virgie Webber, of Kings
Mountain school, was also a vis
itor at our morning services.
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Ashley
are splendid workers in our
church.
HIGH PRAISE FOR DR. WARD
Dr. C. A. Ward, who is
acknowledged to be one of the
most learned, popular and up
right ministers who has ever
pastored a church in Newport
News, left with his wife and
children for his new charge in
Toledo, Ohio, last Tuesday af
ternoon. He had been the pas
tor of Carver Memorial Pres
byterian church for the past
ten years, and during that time,
he has added at least a hundred
members to the church, many
of whom are leaders in business
and professions. So genial and
friendly and correct' in manners
is Dr. Ward that he makes
friends of people of all callings
and denominations, and he has
been most fortunate in the se
lection of a wife, as Mrs. Ward
is pronounced by all who know
her as a most lovable and amia
ble woman, sympathetic and
kind to everyone, and is one of
those exceptionable characters
who can smile through tears.
Their places will be hard to fill
and the blessings of all the peo
ple go out to them, and they
have the prayers of a most de
voted congregation of loyal, sin
cere friends.—Newport News
Star, Dec. 5.
SILVER HILL CHURCH

of November, Rev. F. C. Shirley,
accompanied by the S. S. Mis
sionary, Mr. G. R. Marsh, con
ducted a Sunday School Insti
tute at Silver Hill church. The
services were largely attended
each night.
The Sunday School workers
seemed to get a lot of inspira
tion from the new ideas that
Rev. Shirley brought to us and
are anxious to have him come
again.
Sunday, December 6, at 11
o’clock, Rev. Funderburk, a
Zion Methodist minister, from
Charlotte, preached a soul-stir
ring sermon. We were proud
to have him come by and bring
us such a glorious message.

indeed good. Part of it was of
fered to the beloved ministers

services.
Just a word about our church
work. Our Sunday school and
the Christian Endeavor Society
and the Missionary Society are
doing nice work.
