Afternoon at 3:300 o'clock The public is cordially invited SMALLPOX AND VACCINATION This seems to be an opportune time to have something to say about smallpox and vaccination, as we see from the daily press and reports from the Bureau of Epidemiology that there is little smallpox in North Carolina, and there are two eases in Hali fax County, when there should not be a case in North Carolina, Few of the infectious diseases show such complete indepen- dence such as race. ae. occulta " twn "d sanitary surroundings as smallpox. It thrives only oni unvaccinated people. The mor-' The tality bears from it spares only the When an epidemic oi smanpox breaks out those w ho are vacci nated are as safe as the children of Israel were from death, when the lentils and posts of their doots were sprinkled w ith the Blood of the Lamb. Before the days of vaccination smallpox counted among its vic tims princes, kings, and queens. We are still ignorant as to the precise way in which smallpox is conveyed. A view generally held is that is air borne and en ters the respiratory tract We do know this, that it is a pre ventable disease, and the most easily preventable of all the pre ventable of all the infectious diseases. The man that through prejudice or ignoranee would allow his children to grow up un protected against this loathsome disease is worse than infidel. The Good Book says that "a man who does not provide for his own household is worse than an infi del." Vaccination virus is the specific principal in a matter obtained from the skin eruption of ani mals, being known as cowpox. There are therefore two ways of ootaining me virus, une iron; the scab of vaccinated human be ings, and the other from young calves and called bovine virus. The old way of using viru3 from human beings is about done away with and we have thereby done away with infection, and trans mitting disease to a great extent i The bovine virus is put in gly cerine and the harmful bacteria is killed in this manner. Vaccination is a most simple operation but should be done in a most careful manner. Every thing used in the operation should be thoroughly stcrlized. The reason and the only reason bad sores after vaccination is that the place of vaccination has been infected either by scraching j the vaccinated arm with dirty fingernails or by tieing the arm up wjth dirty rags or bandages Then jt ghould be treated just as any other infected place. Immunity from smallpox 'ap pears on the eighth, or tenth day after successful vaccination. The question is often asked "how I long does vaccination protect against smallpox: I he pro tection is somewhat variable. From what information obtain able it should be about 12 years. Wlm ihnuM 1 vnwimiwP Vv. ery unvaccinated person from babies four weeks old to people 104 years old. People should be revaccinated when there is an epidemic of smallpox. Children cannot attend school when small - pox is in the family, nor can toucher attend school ah n hnnrH in a family where there is small pox. There are two cases of small pox in Weldon Township at the present, and there are a number i of scattered cases throughout worth Carolina. There is no I lour fnr nnnrantinincr smallnnv the vaccination is an absolute protection. If every one were vaccinated there would be no smallpox.

Speaking of ttesueysof aix- ty dioceses, whichhad been re- chance to prove the virihty ofjAtianta. is visiUng her sister mai tniun m K-imc in limine-I ous cause which waa caught in France and at home in the past two years. Here is the oppor tunity to show that we really be lieve the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be true. On the financial side we know enough to 'lay the ghost' of the "Twenty Million Dollar Drive" idea by which the Campaign was characterized last spring. Re member the financial needs of thirty proceses have not been analyzed yet Without them, the financial needs, diocesan and general, are twenty-fourmillions. The point is that the Church must find those thousand work ers or else all the millions cannot be spent The Campaign is not a 'drive' for an arbitrary sum ! fixed ahead of time. It is a movement to man the Church's trenches as to provide adequate supplies for maintaining her war riors. The results of the Nation wide Campaign Survey are being compiled into two bookr. One of them' will treat topically the work done and needed to be done at home and abroad, among the mountaineers, the Indians, the negroes, the foreign-born, in rural sections, in congested com munities, in the fields of Religi ous Education and Social Service our opportunities in Latin Amer ica, in Asia and Africa. The other book will deal with the pro blems, plans, and opportunities from the diocesan standpoint setting fourth what each diocese intends to do for meeting the situation presented by the recon struction era here at home. 'The survey blanks will form the printed report which the Board of Missions will submit to General Convention for its ap proval. The Convention will be asked to convert the survey into the Nation Wide Campaign Bud get, and divide the responsibility among the dioceses. On the Sun day evening following the open ing of the Convention the usul missionary sermon will give place to a presentation of the need of the Nation Wide Campaign at such a time as this, and a setting forth of the great spiritul verities underlying the movement. The national committee of the Campaign at its meeting on Sep tember 10th adopted a memorial which will be presented to the General Convention urging not merely the endorsement of the Campaign but that the place and work of the Campaign receive primary consideration at the ses- ions of the General Convention. The romance of it all is that for the first time in history per haps, the Church is going to know the truth about herself. And that truth will make her free free to serve, to labor, and to rejoice in her revivified sense of stewardship. The vision will be burnished up, the task will be crystal clear -and a redication of life and means will inevitably fol low. Someone has said that to accomplished these ends, the Church needs not reformation but information. That informa tion now at hand. "The most pertinent fragment of it gathered so far is that 54 dioceses need 737 new members to man their fields adepuately. roanok rapids personal j AND LOCAL ITEMS Mr. P.
