A well-equipped School under the care of the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, Division for Colored People, "for the Higher Education and Industrial Training of young women. A Seminary Course or High School Academic Course for those desiring to prepare for College, and a High School Normal Course for those desiring special prepara tion for teaching. There can no longer be any question among the friends of Scotia as to her being on the accredited list, inasmuch as the graduates of this year were each grant ed by the State Board of Public Instruction an Elemen tary B Certificate for three years. An Industrial Course, including Domestic Arts and Sciences, with special instruction in Sewing and Cook ing. for those desiring special preparation in these lines. Alao a course in Music, including Piano, Public School <Muaic, and'Chorus Work. There are two large Dormitories with pleasant rooms, steam heated, electrically lighted, and pleasantly situat ed in a large and beautiful campus near the center of the city on Concord and convenient to the Railroad sta tion. For catalogue, application blanks, and any desired in formation, address the President, REV. T. R. LEWIS, D. D. JOHN HALL’S MONTHLY AC TIVITIES. The second Sunday was con sidered a high day at John Hall church. The people responded both in attendance and with con tributions. The following amounts of collection were real ized* namely, church, $32.50; Sunday school, $15; Women’s Missionary Society, $14.58. To tal, $62.08. Dr. G. N. McMillan, dental surgeon, the brother of Rev. J. E. McMillan, of Sanford, was present. After making timely remarks, he rendered splendid service in our Sunday scnool, which meets after preaching ser vice. ** Rev. F. C. Shirley, our pro gressive organizer and Synodi cal Missionary, came to our field a few weeks ago m compa ny with Rev. A. H. George, the efficient pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian church, Wilson, and organized two societies, the Men's Brotherhood and the Boys' Club. Both are progress ing wonderfully. At our church tonight, Thursday, February 18, there will be a Lincoln Birthday pro gram. The proceeds will be for warded to the Board of National Missions, Pittsburgh, Pa. The citizens of Carthage, represented by all denomina tions, assembled at our church during the month of January to consider a name for our section of the town. The highest num ber of votes were cast in favor of the late Dr. H. D. Wood, so our section war named Wood land. You can see clearly tha^ though being dead he yet lives in the hearts of the people. Sad! Sad! We have just re ceived information through Miss E. G. Johnson, of Trenton, N. J., concerning the death of another friend of John Hall, a Mrs. Fisk, her sister having died about two weeks ago. Among other deaths is Mrs. Dixon’s, their pastor’s wife. LAUR1NBURG CHURCH. The Pastor’s Aid Society of our church is making a wonder ful success under the leadership of our Pres., Mrs. Annie J. Ber ry, who is a very talented young woman and puts all of herself into whatever she undertakes. By so doing she makes a very fitting President for our Pas tor’s Aid Society. On the 4th Sunday afternoon in January this society rendered one of the best literary programs that has been given in the city for some time. The program was given by representa tives of the various churches of the city, as follows: Mesdames P. B. Price, L. L. King, of the Baptist church, and Mrs. H. H. Johnson, of the Methodist church, played a very important part in the musical side of the program. Rev. Wilson, of the Zion church, made a splendid address on the subject, “Christ’s Masterpiece.” It was a treat' to hear Rev. Wilson unravel the subject. Rev. Winchester of the M. E. church, made a masterly ad dress on the subject, “A Round Education.” The audience re gretted very much when he closed. Mrs. W. S. Sanders, wife of Rev. Sanders, pastor of the Bap tist church, made a fine address on the subject, “The Part Wo man Plays.” It was generally thought that it would mean much to have this address print ed in the Africo, so I am send ing it to the paper. An offering was taken and $8 realized. The program was closed with a few remarks of thanks and appreciation by the President, Mrs. Annie J. Berry. Mrs. J. B. Francis presided. (REV.) J. B. FRANCIS. CALDWELL CHURCH NOTES, HUNTERSVILLE. Sunday, January 10, God in His infinite wisdom saw fit to call to her heavenly reward Mrs. Carrie Potts. She was a faithful member of Caldwell Presbyterian church. The fun eral was conducted at Caldwell church by Rev. J. J. Foster, January 12 at 2 o’clock. She leaves a husband, a faith ful and loving mother, one sis tre, one brother, one son and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss Sunday, January 23, Rev, J. J. Foster spoke from St,, John 4:14: “The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband.” Sunday, February 14, Rev. Foster spoke to us from Psalm 32:5, “I acknowledge my sin un to thee and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord. And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.” This sermon made us look within ourselves. It seems as if God was with the minister. The Woman’s Missionary So ciety named Mrs. Clyde Patton to attend the District Presbyte rial meeting which will convene at Concord Saturday, the 20th. Mr. Alford Black is quite ill. A MEMBER. THE WORKERS’ CONFER ENCE AND CHURCH STAND ARDS. The Workers’ Conference is one of the most helpful meetings held by the Presbyterians, U. S. A., in the South. It is both very inspiring and informing to all classes of workers and specta tors because the subjects all deal with practical church work. One of the commendable feat ures of this Conference is that it is composed of some of the leaders of the Boards which are directly connected with the work in the South, and the workers on the field—teachers, preach ers and Sunday school missiona ries. The program rendered at Brainerd Institute, Chester, S. C. , this year, was excellent. To my mind the subject of a stand ard for churches asking for aid is superior to all others for many reasons. It is not superi or because of any latent power which, if put into practice, may embarrass or cripple any church, but it is superior because of its import, when properly used, to encourage said churches to de velop their own powers for church benefit. We must admit the fact that our people are not doing what they can and should do for the church, and that re gardless to the opportunities found in the large cities our churches are not supporting their cause there as they can do. Is "it not true that after sixty years of help for our churches, today we have not a half-dozen churches which offer decent sup port for the pulpits and at the same time will pay their full quotas to missions? Note them from New York to Texas. It is not because they can not do so. This fact should stir us to great er efforts. The only conclusion I can reach is that they are great ly in need of training. If “it is more blessed to give than to re ceive,” we are sorely in need of more, of it, to give more. The only parties to train our people are the preachers. They have been trained as experts to train the people. To do so the preachers must set them selves to the task and decide upon some uniform rule or standard for each Presbytery or there will be no improvement of the present condition. At the last' Workers’ Confer ence the undersigned committee was appointed to draft some standards for said churches. The following seven standards were adopted by the Conference to be referred to the Presbyte ries for their consideration, viz., for churches to receive aid they: 1. Shall have an active Wo man’s Home and Foreign Mis sionary Society. 2. Shall have a Daily Vaca tion Bible Class annually. 3. Shall have a Sabbath school every Sabbath through out the year. 4. Shall carry out the every member canvass annually. 5. Shall raise the full quota for missions. 6. Shall reduce the amount of aid asked for annually. 7. Shall send the money raised for missions at least quar terly. Committee: Rev. H. C. Cousins, Rev. S. D. Thom, D. D., Rev. C. E. Tucker, D. D., Rev. Zander A. Dockery, D. D. , Chairman. Z. A. DOCKERY.
