V olume VII. THIS, M j AND 1 OTHER (Mrs. Theo. B. Davis.) I hat friendship quilt, made "yo-yo” pattern, which the ladies of llephzi bah and Wakefield communities made and gave me is one of my treasures. As yet I have not even put it away, but keep it on a settee in our best room, where it will be convenient to show all who come.

O In last Sunday’s News and Observer Nell Battle Lewis was apologizing for her hero worship of four years ago, when she was almost fanatical in her espousal of the cause of Alfred E. Smith. At the time she seemed to me rather school-girlish in her at titude and in her expressions—ex- cept that no schoolgirl could hope to; use English as Miss Lewis does, but I* never objected to any of her hymns jf praise. The thing I did object to *-as her saying that all who opposed Smith did so because of his religion and their own narrow prejudice. Therefore I am glad that she has ad nitted that her idol has feet of clay. It reminds me of what my grand- 1 mother used to say to us children vhen we wer£ unduly enthusiastic in araise of anyone. “Watch out,” she vould caution us, “don’t ever swallow anybody whole. If you do, you are sure to get sick.” And the years have ;aught me the truth o-r ' -*• 1 KIVIORI A I. yIV * . . * I BETHLEHEM CHURCH SUNDAY There will he an all day memorial erVice at the Bethlehem Baptist at Rilej’s Cross Roads, on the 'rartklin-Wake County line, next Sun ay, May 20,.
