Flow and Athers
By MRS. KNOX WOLFEHAKGETT
Sometimes we have cause to com
plain that the aftermath of occur
rences are bitter. There :s some
thing that is disturbing, we are rest
less over it. and we wish we cou d
Co back over it. and recall the whole
affair. Now the Methodist Confer
ence of Western North Carolina has
come and gone but the aftermath is
rivinj: to us a sense of feeling that
the entire event was successful in
manv wavs financially, sp-.ntually.
ndWial!. and we "eel kwkI over
it. Wha beautiful little hurried
notes the many pastors mailed back
to the cor.i'ei-en.c host, I. I.
Weaver, and the chairman o: vntvr
tainmcnt committee. M. W. blake
nev. tellinB how royhliy they w. re
taken care of. and the trreat plan
that had been gotten lit) to entertain
them in such a mami.ic?nt manner.
Oh." vou say. "It's alvays thus,
everv conference is eu'.otf ze 1 in the
sc:ne manner. It's demanded of this
body to do so." Not so! One min
ister wrote saying. "ou set a non
standard for entertainment." Another
Best managed conference ever at
tended." These are not chestnuts.
More of the Letters
Others said: "Let me congratulate
you and the Monroe eople for the
treat plan in which you entertained
the conference. The conference at
Monroe will bo long remembered.
"Never had a bigger t:r'.e 1:1 n.y life,
than 1 had at Monroe. 1 suspect that
I had the best homo in the city.
Every preacher I have see l, however,
cla ms the same thing. Y '.i enter
tained us royally." One of the m n
isters was very sick while here, and
was compelled to go the hospital.
He wrote tack t-i I'r. Weaver such
a note of appreciation for everything,
we feel a real desire to .ell it out.
"1 ju-t feel like I want to i;k yen
to puldicly thank your Iii.nl people
of Monroe for me for the very g.-'.-ii
generosity shown nu djri: my ill
ness while in your midst. never
had just such a stream of khdiu s
to llow into my life as w.i done by
vour treat-hearted people of Monroe.
The good hospital force seemed to vie
wi.h ine another to sec who could
shovr the most courtesy ;:nd constant
care. The climax tame whe) I went
to sn good-by to the hospital super
intendent, when she told mo in ans
wer to: "What is my bill?" "Vou do
liot owe tH one cent, thv a 1! lias been
fet led." It liktd to have swept me
oft my feet. I shall never forget
these tokens of k indue shown me
while n your m;dt. The suil'e rings
I had t endure, the loss of ass cia
tiorts with the biTthnti of the con
ference and other sacrifices were
largely over-come ty the acts of
irie.tcships made manifest to me by
th? kind people of M.m.-oe. As Tiny
Tim said: 'May Cod bl. ss all of us.' "
Bapt:sts Hear From 'Iheni. Too
Dozens iV-l ke letters veri? received
by the pastor of Central church and
ir. I'.iakeney. Then we interview the
Baptist, and Mrs. V,'. C. Saunders
told us g!onous m.ws from the'r
woik down at the brotherhood Hut.
She said if they ha J not cleared
one dollar, everyiing v; worth
while, for they did so enjoy being
associated with this body of good
men, and getting together tnem
telves, and every thing t.-.ken as a
whole it was a delightful occasion.
One lady remarked that sh? had iio
idea there was so much enjoymen'.
in go.t ng together r.nd dc.r.g a k'reat
work like this for the church, and
that she felt nearer to ail the Baptist
lad;es than she had ever felt before
l.r she had not been a re-il a. und
ent on the church services in the
past. Then I was told '. the big
gcod sum that they realized from
their hard work down there. "Wc
cleared o-er S 'OO," she tel l r.ie, "and
we rave the Auxilary hc.--. t?J0."
Wasn't th s a tine report; ve Meih-
, odist are just jubilant over the
fpontaneous manner in which they
tame to our aid. We h ;e to bj aide
to dj likewise for tlieni s me day
and are glad they came o-t with such
a good financial report.
Weather Was Ic'cal
Providence came to cur aid,' too
The weather was idea!, n.it too cold,
nor too hot. and gilden sunshine
was rhowerekveryvhere. The whole
county took it in. Although it was
cotton picking, and corn shucking
' t.me, the farmers workeJ til day anc
drove seven' and eight miles after
dark to enjoy the meeting. We did
not see many of the old ministers
that we once knew. They had passed
away and the young men have taken
their places.
How the Young Men, Did Sing
Oh, how these young men did sing!
The old people thrilled as the great
volumn swelled up from this vast
throng and fairly made the founda
tions shake of the edifice. "My faith
is built on nothing less than Jesus
and His righteous. No need for
hymnals, this familiar song and word.
" were on the end of the tongue ol
every member of this conference and
thy roiled out the words and the
jnus'c.
Vi e were glad cnee more to t hake
the hand" of Rev. W. P.. Ware, out
wie time pastor and nxt door neih
lor for four years. v were sorry
to miss see.ng Rev. R. H. Hiyle. Ht
too ws our pastor and neighbor for
t everal years. As the past brings up
li face, it br ngs abo the 1'keness
4.1 a wh.te cat that wore a beil, and
loamed at wil in our httir.e and or,
n:cm.2, as well 1 thj preraij?
of sa d pastor. He didn't I.k the
privilege that tnis cat was invested
with, i. e., in coming after the femdy
ret red for the nigh, .and ringing this
bell unnecessarily, right at their
window. Often he declared laugh
iniflv that -He would get him yet!"
He was big hearted and good. We
wish him long life.
Hinds Out Some Bouquets
We have several bouquets to hand!
out- One to Mr. R. F. Beasley. What j
a clean cut. and brilliant talk that
was he made twfore the delegates j
from the North Carolina Collegiate
Press Association at Meredith Col-;
lege, a few nights ago. The Journal!
carries an account of it, which we en-;
joyed. He knows what he is talk.ng
about, for he has been an inde'.i-.
gable worker as a journalist s nee ;
boyhood, and he knows all about the!
difficulties of it, and he hit square in ;
saying to the aspiring college youths;
that it was nothing to be lightly
regarded as a "game." He let us
know that he did not regret all the,
troubles that went with an editor's
life. Being our friend we wish for
him all the smooth sailing and grac
ious favors that an infinitely wise;
God hands out to his children here.
We point w.th fruit anl thrill-,
irg setisat'on lo the humane deed
Mr. M. L. Flow executed m his office
here Monday in discharging the!
eleven-year old boy. George Gurloy,
indicted on liquor charges. Judge,
Landis could not have done better. ,
and it sounded like his big heart when
Mr. Flow exclaimed: "l just could-;
n't bar the idea of sending a boy of,
such tender years up to the Federal
court. The bov had aided his father,
h. was young and knew no better. j
What a difference this is from a poem
we have of asboy's tine trust in a,
noble father who was a sea captain. !
Some one asked: ;
"Dost thou not fear this awful storm
Will soon our lark o'erwhelm?"
"I have no fears" the boy replied,
"My father's at the helm."
Oh. happy boy! w'ut faith was thine!
In that dear luthers htmil; i
He felt he'd take them ail in portj
And bring them .-afe to land.
!
Oh, give us faith like that sweet
child's
When storms our souls o'erwhelm, '
With smiling faces look up and see
Our Father at the helm.

During the course of a political meeting an address was being made by one of the candidates,
who unfortunately had a weak vx)ice.
One of the audience who was sitting near the back cculd not hear so well and cegan
yelling, "Speak louder! Louder!" x
Finally one of the opponents sitting near the front, becoming annoyed, arose and in a
strong voice asked the gentleman in the rear, "What's the ..matter back there?; can't you
hear?"
"No," came the reply.
"Well, thank God, and sit down," advised the man in the front row;
Now, we do not want to yell too loud, but we want you to hear what we have to say:
