How Um#uI An You?
Nut long ago Bishop Johnson made
thin somewhat nnurluMf MMrtim,
t emark&ble for ■ church'man at hut:
"I am not very much interested in
your sins; 1 don't believe God cam a
great deal about your little pecca
dilloes. 1 think what He want* to
know is whether you are useful."
What greater tent is there for all of
un, individually or collectively, than
the toot of usefulness?
As club women we might ask our
selves a few pointed questions, such
lis:
Am I a god dub member?
IK) I really do anything beyond
pitying my dues?
Am I informed on local problems
of club work?
IX> I attend the mating regularly?
Am I serving on any committee?
l>o I take that service seriously ?
Am 1 a good advertisement for my'
club?
Ho I try to increase its influence?
Mow many of us can give "an un
qualified "yea" to all of the above
questions? Yet, if our duh is not
whikt we want it to be. It to because
we fall ihort of this standard of re
quirements.
Organization—A Compara
tively New Thing.
Fifty yivrn ago organisation wu
almost an "unknown quantity." Up
to that time men like Tfeoreau and
Kmeroon had been telling u* that
verything guod that had evw been
dune in thi* world had been accom
plished by individual*. Then along
mine the psychologists and sociolo
gists, who began to teach ui that the
spirit of a well organized body of peo
ple vhk much bigger and finer and
more efficient than that of ttw name
number of people in a looae collection.
I Whereupon we all began to work to
ilet her in organisation*.
North Carolina ha* no organisation
we should be more proud of than the
North Carolina Federation o f
Women'* Club*. Its member* are
women who have organised, not only
for self improvement, but for pro
gre** both social and civic. The
different clubs that make up Hi or
ganisation are being a real power for
good. One of the best loved men
North Carolina ever had—Dr. Ed
ward Kidder Graham, of Chapel Hill
—said as far back as 1909: The
most widely spread, persistent, and
serious intellectual effort in North
Carolina today is represented by the
women'* dubs."
Mrs. I. H. Leonard, of our Educa
tion Committee, who It spending the
winter at h»r Florida borne, has bee*
given a transfer from the local club
to the Woman's Club of Wtntsrfcaven.
Mrs. Leonard tells as that it is s very
active and progressive club and w*
are looking to her for a number of
new Ideas in elab work upon her re
tarn.
