Thus the local high school becomes the first in the district of twenty- two counties, over which Miss Parrott has supervision, to adopt the plan of the State Board and inaugurate this teacher-training program. 1 he plan provides for young women of the Senior Class only to take this work, l here are eight young women in the Senior class here and it is worthy of note that six of this number de cided to take the course.

Rochester, N. Y. writing in re gard to the Nation Wide Cam paign of the Episcopal Church says: 'The Nation Wide Campaign has come as a timely answer to a V whih M r' throughout the church. People wtT w invir reill'n' a- : ,urt" arT us to carry on?' If the Church is to conserve and continue to give expression to the spirit of sacrifice and the willingness to serve which was developed dur ing the perud of the war it was essential that an adequate and vital program and challenge should be offered. We, there fore, welcome with enthusiasm, the program and challenge offer ed in and through the Nation Wide Campaign." The object of the Campaign is distinctly spiritual. It should result in giving to the Church: (I) The definite knowledge and extent of her responsibility and mission. 2 The opportunity to educate her children in the light of the revelations. 3 The call to consecration in the light of obligation and privi lege will be vital and compelling 4 The opportunity to voice the j call of the Father for means Manning, Tom Lush. J. E. Mc through men and women and Xw attended the Raleigh Fair money, will give emancipation this week, from selfishness and materialism j Mr. Wiley Johnson and family and thus enrich and empower attended the Raleigh Fair Wed the Life of His Bodv. nesday. 5 It will further present an jr- Ti yy. Munen i9 tending adequate objective in tne realm i of service and self-expression for transmitting the blessing of power and inspiration communi cated through the Eucharist and every other act of public and pri vate devotion into the life of the Kingdom of the Christ who is ever seeking, through His Body, to give Himself to the world. Tuesday night at 8:00. the Rev. John L. Jackson, rector of St. Martin's Church, Charlotte, and head ot the Nation Wide Cam paign of the Episcopal Church in the Diocease of North Caro lina will explain the campaign in All Saints Episcopal Church. The public is cordially ipvited. BAPTIST 75 MILLION CAMPAIGN The 75 Million Campaign is be ginning to move among our local Baptist congregation. The church is now organized for the "drive" and some of the mem ers are becoming intensely in terested in the movement, which is realy the most significant un dertaking the denomination has ever entered into. The Wednes day night prayermeeting hour will be given to a consideration of the camDaien from now until , tne fjnai drjve 0n November 30th, ' and the campaign hymn is to be j at every service in the church during the month. The other leading denomination have successfully conducted such cam paigns, it is significant that the Baptist are engaged in similar campaign at the same time. This indicates that the need and opportunity for Christian endea vor is recognized as never before. If we had been more aggessive in missionary work and Christirn education in the years that have passed, the terrible war through which we have just passed evi dently could have been averted, "anlistment" services will be held in the church next Sunday. The subject at the morning hour will be: Calling out the called. and at the evening service, The response to God's call. In ac cord with the change of time, the B. Y. P. U. will meet at 6:15 and the regular evening service will be at 7 o'clock. The other service will be at the usal hours. The members of the church are especially urged to attend these services, and the public gener ally is cordially invited.

THE 20TH CENTURY MOTHER'S CLUB (Contributed) For two weeks, Mrs. Coburn. the Stat'? Organizer has been working earnestly in the inter est of this great cause. On October 20th, at the home of Mrs. W. L. Long, about thirty mothers met together to organ ize this club, whose object is to develop the mental and physical faculties of the child. There are colleges and schools of all kinds preparing men and women for the different voca tions of life but for the mother, upon whom falls the greatest un dertaking, the training of the little ones whom God has given her, there has been up to the past few years no source of help. Mrs. Coburn brings to us Dr. Drapers Self Culture with a pro gram mapped out for each month. It means better trained parent hood, raising of the standards of home life, and making this world a better place in which to live. Mrs. Coburn is very deeply in terested in this great work and knows from experience the need of our mothers. We hope that all the mothers in town will feel their resposibil ity and incapability through lack of training in this particular line and take advantage of the Mothers Club. The officers are Mrs. W. L. Img, President, Mrs. J. M. Jackson. Vice-President, Mra. W. F. Joyner, Secretary, Mrs. A. L. Bain, Corresponding Sec retary.
