On Sunday, Jyly 26, the An
nual Women’s Day Services were
held with quite a. large audience
in attendance. Mrs. R. B. Mc
Nair presided over the morning
service. After the Scripture les
son (I Cor. Chapter 13) was
read by Mrs. E. O. Favors, Mr.
J. W, Mitchell brought to us a
forceful message, subject, “The
Tripod of Life”
“Life is made up of a num
ber of elements,” stated Mr.
MitcheU, “namely, health,
alertness, fidelity, honor, etc.,
but the dements of a successful
life as given by the Apostle Paul
are Faith, Hope and Charity.
These virtues of life can not be
measured by man.”
He further stated that the
women in history were rich in
the ‘Tripod Life,”—such wom
en of our own race as Mrs. Ma
ry McLeod Rethune, Miss Lucy
Laney and Mrs. Maggie L.
Walker. How, then, can we ob
tain these virtues? By being
co-partners with Almighty God.
Following the address Miss
Cecelia Miller sang: “Pass It
On.” i r
We were pleased to have a
new member cast her lot with
us in the person of Mrs. Caro
line Humphrey. We heartily
welcome Mrs. Humphrey and
hope that her uniting with us
will be mutually helpful.
The Sunday school hour was
devoted to the election of offi
cers and teachers. All were

Him.”

—“Curfew Shall Not Ring To
night."
Mrs. A. J. Taylor then gave
a short but forceful address,
subject, “The Cycles of Life.”
She said impart: “The time in
which we live is termed a cycle.
Ai! things apparently move in
cycles, even our lives. If our
lives would be properly set to
run this cycle—Dawn, Noon
day and Evening—we must
cultivate that initiative to find
opportunities in every difficulty
and not find a difficulty in every
opportunity. If our hearts are
loyal and true; if we have striv
en to rebuild the walls of our
church, and to administer to the
needs of mankind, when the
evening of life comes, wo may
say as Paul did: “I have fought
a good fight_I have fin
ished my course.”
Mr. Daniel Miller then sang:
“Thy Love Abides.”
Mrs. T. B. Jones, Mrs. Min
nie Biggs and Mrs. Plora Me
bane were in charge of the spe

CHURCH, MOUNT AIRY,
HOLDS DAILY VACATION
BIBLE SCHOOL. i
Two weeks of interesting Bi- j
ble School were witnessed at
the Edward Webb Memorial i
Presbyterian church, Mount
Airy. The school began on the
6th of July and closed on the i
19th. Mr. L. B. Washington, a,
student of the Theological Sem-.
inary of Johnson C. Smith Uni- j
versity, Charlotte, and who is |
serving this church, supervised
the school. The interest of the >
pupils of the school was high |
throughout the entire period)
of the school.
The teachers who taught the
pupils* of the Bible School were
well prepared for the work.
Most of these teachers are col-,
lege graduates and they really 1
put themselves — souls and)
bodies—-into the work. The
teachers were as follows: Miss j
Geraldine Jones, (instructor of)
the Intermediate class; Mrs.,
L. C. Bryant, instructor of the
Beginners class No. 1; Miss Lu- j
cile Mittman, No. 2 group of
the Bdginnerig; Mrs. . Lillian
Franklin, Primary group No. 1;
Miss Eva King, Primary class,

The enrollment of children
was seventy-three. A picnic was
given for the children on Fri
day, July 17. The school closed
Sunday afternoon, July 19, at
4 o’clock, at which time the
public was invited to witness;
the progress of the children
during the two weeks of Bible ;
school.. A special sermon was
delivered by Mr. L. B. Wash
ington. jThe sermon was very
impressive. The subject of the
discourse was: “Choose for
Yourself That Which Is High
est &nd Best in Life/’
The speaker brought out the
idea that many children have
gone astray because of the
false idea of love on the part of
their parents, who have put
drawing loops around the necks j
of their children by allowing
them to do as they please, in
order to make the children
happy, They call this love. He
^aid that this was only a false
idea of love. His warning to the
children was to hear the in
struction of their parents.
Mr. Washington has gone to
Booneville to direct a school.

our pastor cam*.; her* and we
are able to say he is the same
Christian gentleman he was
when he came to us. H© is still
striving to make our church one
of the leading churches in the
Presbyterian field. He should be
complimented for the splendid
principles he cherishes. He Js
broad-hearted and wants the
congregation to come into con
tact with the ministers of the
Presbyteries. He observes every
day designated and sees to it
that the leader of that organi

here to fill the pulpit and speak
on i that phase of the work. Dr,
