A department conducted for
The Warren Comity
Memorial library
By MABEL DAVIS

Closed For the Week
The library will not be open for
service next week. Monday will be
given to boxing the books ready for
moving on Tuesday. Several days
will be required to get them in their
proper places on the shelves in the
new building. When that is completed
the floors will have to be
finished and waxed before we can
open the doors to the public. Tn
the mean time we hope that the
error made in filling our order for
the iron guard rails for the steps
i._ j J t-u ,
will nave Deen correcieu anu nrconcerete
steps may be finished.
We think these things will require
the entire week, and necessitate
closing the doors to our friends
during that time. We will open
again on Monday afternoon, July
30th( at which time the public is
cordially invited to a very informal
opening of the new Warren County
Memorial Library.
Window Shades For the Library
Just how to provide shades for
the six large windows in the library
without incurring further debt was
settled for us by a friend, who suggested
that she would give one and
she thought she knew others who
would do the same. A good shade
for windows as large as ours is expensive.
They cost wholesale $3.30
each. At this writing, Thursday,
five windows have been provided
for. Those giving snaaes are Mesdames
C. A. Tucker, T. J. Holt, C.
S. Perkinson, E. S. Allen, and Miss
Mabel Davis.
Other Appreciated Gifts
We have received beautiful flowers
this week from Misses Lucy
Pridgen and Belle Dameron. Nelt.je
Blanchard's "The Bird Book,' which
is considered high authority on the
subject, came to us from Mr. M. C.
Johnson( Norlina, and $2.00 for out
almost non-existent book fund was
left at the desk by a lady who realized
our need.
The library is also deeply indebted
to Misses Mary Drake; and
Mamie Gardner. To Miss Drake
for typing some letters for the
finance committee, and to Miss
Gardner for valuable assistance in J
preparing a mimeograph catalogue
of the 5,500 books in the library.
She gave weeks of service to the
work, cutting nearly fifty stencils.
The catalogue will be ready for se
in the near future.
A Timely Suggestion
It has been suggested that the
public be given an opportunity to
contribute something toward paying
off the indebtedness on the building
through a silver offering at the
opening on July 30th. Some of our
friends have already^ contributed
generously. We believe there are
others who will welcome an opportunity
to contribute to the cause in
this way. The ibrary has never
been in debt befort. If we all pull
together we sfiall not be very long
in lifHncr the debt and cett.in? readv
to buy some of the new books you
are anxious to read.

Elijah Hears God's Voice.
Lesson for July 22nd. 1 Kings
19:9-21.
Golden Text: 1 Samuel 3:9.
Our lesson tells of Elijah's recovery
from despondency. First an
angel commanded, "Arise, and eat."
The worn out body of Elijah needed
the refreshment of food. A square
meal is a first rate means of banishing
gloom. His appetite appeased,
the prophet, like Moses, spenl
forty days and nights in solitarj
communion with God.
Then the Lord asked a searching
question, "What doest thou here
Elijah?" There was important wort
for the prophet to accomplish. A
discouraged man usually needs nol
less work but more. The prodiga'
son. in his degradation, doubtles:
heard a query much like that hurl

Warrentor, North Carolina
ed at Elijah, /aid he answered by |
going back to his old home, and ,
getting to work. John Bright, famous
English statesman heard a sim- j
ilar inquiry as he mourned the loss
of his beautiful young wife. It came
to him in the appeal of Richar.l ,
Cobden who urged him to give his j
life to the repeal of the unjust corn !
laws.
And now the divine voice spoke
a third time. "Go forth," it said,
"and stand upon the mount." How
important it is to ascend to an elevation
where one may see the broad
horizons of God's providence! It
[was from a mountain that Moses
I looked into the Promised Land. t
And when Elijah had ascended,
an altogether extraordinary spectacle
met his gaze. Magnificent
displays of physical power greeted
his astonished eyes. But God, much
to the prophet's surprise, was not in
the wind, or the earthquake, or the
fire. He spoke, instead, in a still
small voice. And so Elijah learned
that the Lord can speak softly, as
well as loudly, peacefully, as well as
in the storm.
Do we hear the dulcet tones of
the divine appeal? Do we allow the
Lord to enter the citadel of our affections
on a wave of stillness? Listen
to a great verse spoken by the
psalmtst, "Thy gentleness hath
made me great."

RETROSPECTIVE CORRECTED
In the last issue of The Warren
Record, under the heading, "Retrospective,"
giving the news of ten
yeais ago, appeared a paragraph
relating that M. M. Drake and E.
L. Green had been elected to police
the town.
That statement was wrongly
copied. It should have read M. M.
Drake and Fate Weaver were appointed
to succeed E. L. Green. Mr.
Green had resigned a short time
previously, due, he stated at that
time, to a $25 cut in salary and an
increase in his duties.

Founded in 1719, seventy years

William Penn, the little cemetery
