POUNDING THAT RESULTED
IN SOMETHING BETTER
[ We take this method of express
ing our sineere thanks to the good
?oiks of Beta for the generous wav
?n which they welcomed ns to the
?community and the new pastor's
?home.
'It was about eight o'clock Monday
? night, February 12, when we mere
? called Jo the front door of the par
I sonage by ' ' Helios ' ', buzzing of autos
I and rattling of wagons, where we
I were greated by a crowd, it seemed
I a hundred strong, in a downpour of '>
I rain. They filed into thp dining room,
I kitchen and porch, with more good
I things to supply the needs of a hoyie
I than time and space here will per
I mit mentioning.
Deacon Bryson ordered the crowd
I to assemble in the church for a wei
I come service for the pastor and
I family. After some songs, speech
I making was in order. T. C. Bryson
I led the meeting with a splendid ad
I dress of welcome to pastor and fam
I ily. He was followed by W. C. Reed,
I Dan Bryson, Carl Fisher, Clyde Fish
I er and George C.Snyder. What these
I brethren said was uplifting to their
I pastor's heart. It gives us courage
I and renews our strength for the task.
I Then a few feeble and broken remarks
I were extorted from the pastor, after
I which" Bless Be The Tie That Binds'*
I was sung. The spirit of the meet
I ing was so fine we felt that some sort
I of opportunity ought to be given for
I those struggling with a call to ser
I vice to unload their hearts by pub
I licly expressing, thjp feeling, upon
I which came three young men, sob
I bing and in tears, saying they were irn
I pressed to preach the gospel. Along
I with these came two young ladies,
I with melting hearts, saying they
I were impressd that God wanted them
[ to be missionaries. Then a time, such
' as is not Often seen, began. In my
thirty-odd years' experience in the
ministry I never saw just such dem
onstration of the DivineSpirit.Everv
one seemed happy. We forgot the
material things brought fqr our tem
poral support, and fasted on bread
from Heaven, sweeter than the clus
ters from Eschol.
The Scotts Creek church does the
royal thing when she moves. God is
with her. She has begun to do things
in a larger way and God is bleusine:
her in a bigger manner. They arc
great folksMt is gocd to be here.
Surely our lines have fallen in
pleasant places.

: LITERARY SOCIETY WORK IN

?>> 'V? y ;? -
Tj^;^ro?o]^iian and Colombian
Li^raiy So^fics at Cullowhiie are
j doing good v&rk thig_ year. These
f organisations '/are widely known
through t':e State and especially in
Western North Carolina. Some of
-the best citizens and greatest states
men that North Carolina has ever
produced baY?t been member* of one
or the other oft these societies.
The, motto of the Columbian So
ciety is /'Scientia est Potentia"
(Knowledge ifi poVer) ; that of the
Erosophian is-^'Petimus Alta" (We
aim Iiigh). The members of these
societies are endeavoring to live up
to their mottoes this year, i - f'
These societies give as good liter
ary training as any in Western North
Carolina. The societies meet in their
respective halls weekly and render
very interesting programmes. The .
programmes haVe been so interesting;
this year that many visitors come to
the regular meetings.
' The members of these societies are.
striving to make 'this year the most'
brilliant in the history of the organi
zations. It seems as if the student*
here realize more than even, before
the value of literary training. They
can sde the need of it in their every
day life; for no matter what a per
son intends to* do he will find liter
ary training to be'' of great value to
him. A literary society is one of the
most important factors in the school.
A schouk that .does not give literary
trainings incomplete. It trains the
students to speak more correctly and
to tliink moro^iuickly while on tho
