2Thr 2rlutlmt SU'cnrit THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSFAFEK—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND .FRANKLIN VOLUME XIV. This , That, and The Other MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Here is a new definition which was sent me by my brother, R. L. Davis, of Palisades, Washington, He said that at a meeting of young people one youth was trying to discuss the topic, Meditation. A hearer concluded that the speaker did not understand the subject and asked him what meditation is. He said it meant “meddling in oth er people’s business.” He must have thought it was “meddle-ta tion.” Minutes of proceedings of Bap tist associations frequently state that Brother Somebody presented the report on some subject and that Brother Somebody Else “spoke to the report” before it was adopted. That speaking to the report bothered Staley Denton no little when he was setting type and came across it. He wanted them to speak “on” it; and only the explanation that it was writ ten according to custom of long standing pacified him. It really does sound odd; though, having been practically brought up on such accounts of meetings, I had never noticed it before. A few days ago the mail brought me a letter from a friend whose name is withheld for obvious reas ons. In the last few years her daughter, her mother, and her hus band have died. Devoted to them all, she has borne her sorrows in away that is like an answer to that petition in the Club Women’s Collect which asks that we may grow “calm, serene, and gentle,” going on with her work in the church and community, and mak ing a home for those who aje left of the family. «• Because her faith means much to me, I want to share the expres sion of it with readers of this col umn. A part of the letter follows, and, though I use it without ask ing her permission, she will, I think, understand. Dear Mrs. Davis tmmm m nmnm mH I have gotten up a little earlier this morning, so that I might have time before my work is begun, to tell you how much I appreciate the “Extract from Snowbound” printed on last week’s society page. These lines have become a part of my life these past few months — because “How strange it seems with so much gone Os life and love, to still live on!” Since my high school days I have known them, but not until lately, did they become my very own. There is another portion (six or eight lines) beginning “I cannot feel that thou art far Since near at needs the Angels are” that I love. Then in speaking of the home going of the little sister he says “A loss in all familiar things— In flower that blooms, and bird that sings.” Surely the great heart of the poet was filled with understand , ing and sympathy for bereaved folks like me. I just wanted to tell you how much I treasure tills little clipping. ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, FEB. 4,1938 PROMINENT BAPTIST EDUCATORS M jpihal DR. CHAS. E. BREWER, President Meredith College CLUBCOLUMN The Garden Club will meet on next Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 8, in the A. V. Medlin home, with Mrs. Medlin and Mrs. J. G. Kemp host esses. The subject, Civic Beauti fication, will be discussed by Mrs. N. B. Edgerton, Sr., of Raleigh. It is hoped that all members will be present. New Shop Open The Elite Beauty Salon was de layed until Saturday in opening, but did a rushing business that day. Mrs. A. D. Parrish was win ner in the naming contest. With its gleaming cleanliness; its colors of black, red, cream and shining chromium; the new shop is distinctive in appearance and already ha* an individuality that is impressive. Practice Teaching At Wakelon V in .4 4 Seniors at State College who are preparing for teaching are doing practice work in various schools of the adjacent sections. A number of these come out daily to Wakelon to work under observation in the class rooms. For several years Wakelon has been one of the schools selected for practice teach ing in the high school department, and this has given to young men and women a personal experience that stands them in good stead when beginning work without such direct supervision. TO MARRY IN JUNE John Roosevelt, youngest son of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, i* to be married in June to Miss Anne Clark of Boston. Elaborate plans are already being made for the ceremony. I shall keep it in my Bible. However, I am perfectly willing to leave to the Supreme Architect the building and planning of my mansion (or humble house) in ev ery detail —if He should judge me worthy to inherit one.” If you haven’t read Whittier’s Snowbound recently, try it. You, too, may find much you had not known it holds. m. '£<rs%fsssur ML I mini v DR. THURMAN D. KITCHEN, President Wake Forest College Founders Day Campbell College Campbell College is planning for a big celebration of Founder’s Day, Friday, February 11. An all-day conference on the “Church-College,” to which all Baptist pastors in North Carolina have been invited, promises to bring together many Baptist lead ers to discuss the inter-dependence of the church" and the denomina tional school. President Thurman D. Kitchin, Wake Forest, and President Chas. E. Brewer, Meredith, will preside over the morning and afternoon sessions, beginning at 10:30 and concluding at 3:30. That morning Dr. J. Clyde Turner, First Baptist pastor in Greensboro and former president of the Baptist State Convention, will speak oh “The Place of the Christian College in our Denomi national Program.” Secretary M. A. Huggins, of the Baptist State Convention, Raleigh, will discuss “My conception of a Chris tian Education PrograVn for North Carolina Baptists.” Dr. Charles H. Durham, First Baptist pastor in Lumberton, will leaß the open forum on “How Our Baptist Col lege May Better Meet the Religious Needs of Society.” In the after noon Dean D. B. Bryan, "Wake Forest, will present the case of the colleges under the topic, “The De mands of the Christian College Upon the Churches and their Leaders.” “The purpose of this confer ence,” explains President Campbell, “is to bring together the leaders of our college and church groups for a better understanding of their inter-dependence, to encourage greater co-operation in a common cause, and to discuss plans for a greater achievement in the future.” Representatives from all Bap tist colleges will be asked to par ticipate in the discussions. At the luncheon, at which all visitors will be guests of the col lege, Dr. Herman T. Stevens, alum nus, Newport News, Va., pastor, will deliver a brief address on an appropriate Founder’s Day theme. Two or three leading church workers are invited to join their pastor here that day. That evening the Dramatic Arts Department wijl present A. A. (Continued on Back Page) ffi§ggw&j j§i j^9|9|| DR, LESLIE H. CAMPBELL, Resident Campbell College CHURCH NEWS The associations of the Greens boro Division of the W. M. U. Aux iliary to the Baptist State Conven tion held a meeting in Raleigh on Tuesday of this week at Hayes- Barton Church. The attendance was unusually large, all associa tions except the Randolph in the division being represented. While planned especially for association al superintendents and chairmen of different departments of the work, others interested were also welcomed. Mrs. Ira Knight, Mrs. J. S. Farmer and Miss Mary Cur rin made the principal talks of the morning, explaining the plan for the Jubilee Year of Southern W. M. U. work. In the afternoon various conferences were held to study in further detail the outlines given. The hostess church served lunch at the noon recess. . r Hiway Straighten’d As a part of the work of straight ening the Wilson highway where it enters Zebulon on the east the house formerly known as the Mul lins home, and the Wall home are being moved. This was necessary because they stood directly in the route decided upon in making the change in the road. This curve has long been known as one of the more dangerous of those along i the highway, numerous accidents having occurred from inability of drivers to make the sudden turns unless traveling slowly. Rail Bus Service Discontinued On Tuesday of this week the Norfolk-Southern Railway Com pany discontinued the rail bus that has for nearly three years made daily trips to and from Raleigh. The fact that this was made neces sary ag a measure of economy does not lessen the regret of those who found the bus a great convenience in going to the capital city for a day’s shopping and returning at an hour that put them home before night. From Feb. 1, Zebulon has only one train each day from Ra leigh—the one bringing the morn ing mail—and one going to Raleigh at 5:26 p. m. These afford no op portunity for shopping but no one can blame the railroad for not running trains that do not pay. NUMBER 31 DEATHS MRS. C. C. PIPPIN The death of Mrs. C. C.
