BRAINERD NEWS By Mrs. R. Howell Harris Our semester examinations, which^began Monday, January 27, and will continue through the week, mark the end of half the scholastic year of 1929-’30. Such^tests help to develop self reliance arid firmness for which there is no substitute. One suf fers who lacks them j. After the students spent five ? days studying conscientiously ? trying to master all that is at s tainable, they thoughtfully and readily gave attention to the following exercises. Friday evening at 8:30 o’clock an all star program was rendered in the chapel. Sever al of the Brainerd students and teachers rendered musical and literary numbers. Even though 1! the exercise was for the benefit £ of Carmel Presbyterian church, we had ir. our midst a variety cf talent, which always helps students to appreciate the cul tural values in education. Saturday evening at 7:30 o’clock the Science Club held the usual semi-monthly science meeting in the dining room. These meetings which are held in lieu of the regular lyceums, seem to be an incentive to delve for the truth, which is the one requisite of this experimental age Sunday morning at 8:45, stu dents and teachers gave atten tion ~ttr the Sabbath school les son The subject, “Standards of the Kingdom,” was studied with interest. The lesson was ! concluded with Bible verses I that contained the word “Mer cy.” Evidently the standards of the kingdom and a worth while citizen are inseparable and we hope" everybody was helped af ter having studied the lesson. The Christian Endeavor at 5 o’clock way”also a meeting of interest arid enthusiasm. The topic,'“Sharing,” was appro priate for young people, who are hoping to put their thoughts into harmonious actions Members of the Y. W. C. A. l\eld their meeting in the dining frbom at* the usual hour, 7:3Q r.-o’dock'. The topic, “Looking Beyond Our Community,” seemed to have been an eye opener to some of the fine qual ities in students that will auto matically help men to live full er and better lives. HAYMOITNT PBJESB'^TERI AN NOTES. FAYETTEVILLE After a pleasant holiday sea son and greetings exchanged with students who were home for the holidays, we have be gun the new year with resolu tions for earnest work and more prayerful lives. The large number of young and old who gathered at the church on New Year’s Eve made open and strik .; .inging expressions of their de fy sires to live more useful lives. The Lord’s Supper was cele brated on the first Sunday. Our pastor, Rev. H. S. Davis, deliv ered a wonderful sermon to parents concerning their re v sponsibility for the new year in the training of children. He used as a text the 5th chapter rf Deut., verses 1 to 7. The forcefulness of the message was felt by the extraordinarily large audience present. The Week of Prayer was ob served with cottage prayer meetings in six homes, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. AU the six groups re ported highly spiritual meet ings. The Wednesday night ser vice at the church was attend ed by about sixty people and was another occasion of testi monials and spiritual awaken ing. We t are glad to report that the sick members of our con gregation are much improved at this writing. We have great ly missed the three elders who are ill, Messrs. Fred Fleming, Arthur Manly and Adam Mc / liister, and are praying that their strength may be soon re stored!*" ; * Tlie Tuxis Girls held a splen did meeting with Mrs. L. S. Seabrook. Thursday. Ten mem benP were present. Two new deacons were made and installed the first week in . January ...namely: Messrs. John D. McNeill and Henry A. Jen kins, and we are wishing them Cod speed as . they labor in God’s vineyard. The Deacons’ Board met Mon day night, January 13th. At this meeting Mr. John D. Mc Neill was elected Chairman; H. A. Jenkin*, Secretary; W. J. Flliott, Treasurer, and Willie Williams, Assistant Secretary of the Board. Mrs. Nina McNair and Miss Willie Belle Crump, of Wil mington, spent the week-end with relatives here. The pastor wishes to ac knowledge here the receipt of Christmas messages from for mer faithful members who are cut of town: Miss Sudie Mc Neill, of Monticello, Ark.; Mrs. Alice Hatwood, of Claymount, Del.; and Mrs. Alice Hender son, of Winston-Salem. MT. PISGAH CHURCH, WAXHAW, N. C. Sunday morning, January 26, our pastor, Rev.C. P. Pitch ford, brought to us a very strong and helpful sermon, based on Psalm 37:3- He urged his congregation to trust in the Lord at all times and under all circumstances, and*to do all the good they can, and to be better men and women this year than they were last,. This was indeed a good sermon. Our members are gradually taking on new life. In Decem ber we divided our membership into 5 clubs, as was stated in a recent issue of this paper. The captains reported on Jan uary 26 and the results were surprising; and, too, some of the main pillars of the church have recently moved away and could not be present to help us on this occasion. The captains asked to be allowed to continue their work until the 4th Sun day in February. Mrs. Hattie Morrison, an aged but very ac tive member, asked to be al lowed to work as a .captain. Miss Louise Stewart, a young lady of the church, also asked to be allowed to work as a cap tain. Her request was granted and we will have seven captains to report on the 4th Sunday in February; ofter this a full re port will be published in the Africo. Our folks at Mt. Pis gah are determined to make a good report on benevolence this year. Our Sunday school is doing nicely under the leadership of our young Superintnedent, Mr. Sanford Morrison. A MEMBER.

Wharton , We were delighted to have with us last week from Tues day evening until Saturday morning Rev- J. B. Barber of Chattanooga, Tennessee. There is no doubt that each teacher and student has a more vivid realization of Jesus Christ from the messages which he brought us in both the morning chapel exercises and in the service held each night at 8:15. The main theme for the week was “What shall I do with my life?” Tuesday night’s answer was, “Your life must, be tested bv storms. “Lives that are able to stand the test are those that have extended to Christ a wide open door. There are two word's that aid us—extension and es tablishment. Our age has ex tension, but the quality lacking is establishment. We need the new foundation of Jesus Christ, and should build upon God the abiding rock Wednesday night’s answer was, “Daring and Courage.” “Our lives are recorded by the courage we show. The great es sentials of life in God can be accomplished only by a great deal of resolution. “Being right is better than sucess. “It means sacrifice and loyalty to God, and your living the life Christ would have you live. Are yoq faring to live for Jesus Christ? Thursday night the answef was to “Open our minds.” Fri day night was the last' of the very helpful series of services. The answer to the question “What shall I do with my life?” was, “Concentrate your life in God, and consecrate it to his service. “This means more than serving, it means giving our selves. Rev. Barber held sev eral group conferences, an4 talked with many of the stui dents answering questions, and trying to show them that be hind every cloud there is a sit ver lining. As a result of hii interesting way of putting thj truth before us two students, the only ones who had not' pro ? fessed Christ before coming to Barber, did so before the close of the meetings. They and two others were received into the church Sunday. Sunday morning the Sabbath School lesson was discussed as usual. Since the awakening spirit has arisen in us so vivid ly, we can see more and more beauty in our worship services. At eleven o’clock every one wor shipped with Rev. Rice. The day’s message was brought to us by Dr. Scherer, former President of the college. At 4 o’clock the Vesper Chorus und er direction of Miss Nunes, Miss Dilts accompanist, gave the regular Fourth Sunday pro gram. We were very glad last Thurs day to welcome some friends of President and Mrs. Hosack who stopped on their way to Florida—Mr. and Mrs. George Whilhelm, and Mr. and Mrs. W. Wilhelm of East Liverpool, Ohio. Wednesday of this week Miss Foresman attended the opening exercises of the new practice school building at Miles Memo rial College in Birmingham.

There is a tendency for some crowds to crush that which is best in us. We are afraid to initiate big movements, gives ideas to Christian Endeavor or Sunday school in the form of talks, or take part in the choir. We are afraid of criticism. The fear of criticism keeps us from being ambitious. When initiative and ambition are lost, we are not up and doing- We do not get an opportunity to exercise our abil ities. We soon become lazy and indolent. Discouragement keeps us from planning, studying, thinking and working. Finally, we become narrow. We are crushed. We should never let ourselves, our personalities be crushed by the crowd. We must be men and women who stand for something worth while In the third place, when the standards of society can be im proved and we are able to im prove them, we snouict men break aw?v from the crowd. Progress itself means breaking away from present conditions. Prosperity means trying the new which is better than the old. Freedom of women meant breaking away from the con vention of keeping women in the background. Science meant the downfall of superstition. We shall make our places in the world according as to how much we do as individuals. We must be original thinkers, im prove the standards of our fel lowmen, construct something to the welfare of others- But to do this means breaking away from the crowd. It means to ac cept nothing from anyone, un less it is the best; to tolerate nothing but the purest, to seek nothing but the noblest and the right. Permit me to repeat in con clusion these words of the po et “Tis not what you get, but what you give; ’Tis not what you say but how you live, Giving the world the love it needs Living a life of noble deeds. ’Tis not whence you came, but whither bound; ’Tis not what you have or whither found. 1 Strong for the right, the pure, 1 and true; ' These are the things worth while.” i ___ I CALVARY CHURCH, WINNSBORO, S. C. ' Sunday, January 26, was 1 Communion day. In the morn ing, our pastor, Rev. G. M- Ul mer, chose for his text Luke 18: 8, “When the Son of Man doeis I come, will he find faith on the . earth?” He preached a soul stirring sermon and the church 1 was filled with the Holy Spir ) it. > After the sermon we had communion and baptism- Our ' nastor baptized 12 children. ) The morning offering was ) $11.50 > Again at night Rev. Ulmer 1 preached another soul-stirring 1 sermon using for his text ) Luke 18:23, ‘Then Peter said, ) Lo, we have left all and fol ) lowed thee.” His subject was ) “One Hundred Per Cent.” The ) services throughout the -day ) were at high water mark.” ) We were very glad to see Mrs. 1 Jessie Russell, who has been ) sick for two weeks, able to be i out Sunday morning, and eve ) ning. ) elder j. w. McDowell.
