PAGfeTWO
WOMANJ3 CLUB MEETIN#/ "
, * ^ - APRIL 7th. 1924.
fcThose
sixty or more Club members
in attendance at this meeting needed
no proof that their organization was!
alive and active. They knew matters
of real note and importance would be discussed
and decided. The President,
Mrs. B. G. Clayton presided.
When the minutes of the March1
meeting had been read and approved,
the task of selecting the Lyceum
numbers for another seaspn was attacked.
With the help of Mr. Geo.
Brimer of the Lyceum organization,
the Club determined to sponser the
following?for the good and enjoyment
of the town in general as veil
as its own members: f-"J
1. The Barnes Co. (Magicians and
impersonators). , ! " j
l ' 2. Male Quartet.
3. Play, "The Bubble":

the earnestness with -which the

problems in tSe best way was the re""7"
port of "Clean Up Week" recently
'< ?. 5 w. sanctioned and prosecuted by the
Club. Trash in the residential and
business sections evidently did not.
"rest easy" from the reports made-.'
The majority reported active runner- i
- "ation and splendid spirit on the part
of home-makers and storekeepers in
this drive for a clean town. An or.
dinance, lately passed by the Town
Board, designed to help in the good
work was hailed with delight. .
Mrr. R. L. Wilbum, of the Education
Department, besought all Club 1
members to be present at the De- '
clamation' and RecitatioiP l^i^test of i
fhe Graded School children tthich is. i

The business section of the meeting
being longer than usual, the
President suggested that any who
did not feel they could stay for the
program on "Woman" could feel free
to leave. Few departed. Those who
remained felt amply repaid. Mrs. W.
O. Sample, in an informal way. told
of the "Sphere of Woman Fifty
Years Ago" dwelling particularly on
- the manner women were hedged about
by the rules of etiquette prevailing
at the time. Mrs. WL G. Miller read
_ a thought-provoking article on "The
I Business Woman" Miss Bessie Heath
Daniel, in about fifteen minutes, read
a paper dealing with "Woman in Polities".
In a delightful vein, but with
facts as a basis, she. showed by references
to women of our State who
/have already accomplished much and
~ * to pending legislation of peculiar interest
to women, that the woman has
a definite place as a voter.
n The.Club, by a rising vote of thanks,
expressed its gratitude to the retiring
President for the effifcient and;
tactful manner in which she had carried
on the work of the past yoar. (

away April 1, 1924 and went to live
with Jesua who said, "Suffer little
Children to Come Unto Me and Forbid
Them Not."
He was a great sufferer for about
a week with measles.
We eannot understand why this little

THREE PATIENTS LOSE LIVES
IN MORGANTON. HOSPITAL FIRE
Morganton, N. C., April tl.?Throe
patients lost their lires and one other
was probably fatally injured in a
lire which early today partially destroyed
Broad Oaks sanatorium, entailing
a property loss estimated at
$25,000. The dead are: John P. Green,
Charlotte contractor who died early
tonight; Mr3. Isabella Hereford, of
.Union, W. Va., who was found after
the fire smothered to death in her
bed,' and Mrs. Julia Hamilton, of
Jacksonville, Fla., whose room was
cot off by the flames rendering rescue
impossible ?n? whoso-^charred body
was rfount^ following the fire. Mrs.
Cornelia Gaines, a patient from Georgia,
was terribly burned. It was said
tonight at Grace Hospital, where she
was taken, that no hope is entertained
i'dr her recovery.
The fire had made considerable
headway tvliei: iliscuteied by the night
watchman, Duraiit Williams, and
spread so rapidly in the frame struc- 1
turc only by heroic efforts on the
part of doctors, nurses and attendants,
assisted by the Morganton fire
company, a volunteer organization,
that most of the 42 patients were
ro-cued. A group of firemen with a
ruck from Hickory, 21 miles away, "
-ante to the assistance of the Morganton
firemen Rnd rendered aid in stopDing
the spread of the'fire.
CHURCH ADVERTISING
The First Baptist church has entered
upon the first definite advertising
campaign to be put on by a
thurch in Durham. There has been
me cr two in-and-out efforts at
:hurch advertising in the past, but '
it was not a sustained effort, or a
planned campaign. The venture by
the First Baptist church wHI be
.vatched with considerable interest,
>3 the results from that will probably
letermine the attitude of other
thurches along that line.
There .is no reason" why a wellplanned
advertising campaign should
pot prove beneficiai to the cause in
vhich the churches are laboring. The
churches are working toward a definite
object, that of "saving human
souls. We might say; without being
sacriligious, that the church is trying
to sell itself to the public, and it
is well established that 'the best
means for selling anything is through
the medium of newspapers. That
statement is no longer controverted,
as the best business interests of the
world have fully tried out the merits
of advertising, and have found it the
best, and only way, of secuTing patronage
in quantity and quality needed
for the success of business.
The church, to succeed in its mission,
must reach the people whom it
is .attempting to save. The mere fact
that its cause is good is not sufficient.
It must convince the world of the
goodness of that cause.; The devil
doesn't hesitate to advertise, he "having
long ago realized that it is his
best means of reaching the people.
The church, to offset that, must also
advertise.
, Saving souls is a business?a most
serious business. To save a man or
woman, his or her interest must first
be secured. If the, people can be induced
to go to church, they will become
fnte^ested in its work, and become
responsive to its appeal. It is
difficult to make a good Christian out|
of a person who won't attend church. I
Wo might say that attending church
| services is a habit. Once you start,
you will find it no trouble to keep up.
But, let a man or woman stay away
from church services for an extended
period of time, and his or her interest
in it is either completely lost
or reduced to a serious minimum.
On the other hand, after attending
services regularly for a few weeks,
It becomes a part of the people's
lives, and they keep at it'. We would
consider that one of the most important
steps confronting the church is
to get the attention of the people,
and to get that attention, -they must
be induced to enter the church. Personal
work helps jfong that line,, but
it can cyily reach a limited number.
On the other hand, the newspaper
reaches the thousands of people, and

1fol* chbreh attendance, sotting forth
its interesting. features, will attract
the way-farer the same as the commercial
advertisement attracts patThe
First Baptist church is to
be commended, for its far-sighted,
ness in launching Into-a definite advertising
campaign, and we believe
that it will prove so beneficial that It
will become one of th*. church's fixed
policies.?'Durham Herald.

AT WORK ON NEW ^
THEATRE BUILDING.
^ ' ' i
Mesa. Kirby Bros, saw the first
brick laid last week on their new
theatre building. Mr. J. F. Reams has
the contract for this building and will
rush it to completion. This will be
another ornament to the town, as the
bnilding complete will represent an
expenditure of something like $36,000.
We have the promise of a cut of the
building as it will appear when completed
and we hope to be able to let
you have a glimpse of it soon.
IN MEMORIUM.
?o?
In the death of H. J. Whitt, which
occurred on March the thirtieth, not j
only -does his wife lose n loving com- j
panicn ana nis cnnaren, a devoted
father, but Pet-son County, at a
whole, and Providence community in
particular, loses a citizen of excellcnt
character and ..invaluable uuitli.
Mr. Whitt was a consecrated christian
gentleman. In politics he was
clean, in business he wa3 honest,, in
christian service he was zealous, and
to his friends arvd family he was
sympathetic, .generous and loving.
His entire life of sixty-two yetTfs
and civ mnnths hp hart spent in Pcrson
County working for the 1-ctterment
of his community and liu
county. In putting forward anything
for the good o'f.the people, anyone
could count on the support and untiring
effort of JoTiahrWhitt. He, indeed,
used the talents God gave him,
and I'm sure his efforts won for him
the welcome words, "Well done thou
good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joys-of thy Lord."
I can not say, and I will not sayt
That he is dead. He is just away;
With a cheery smile, and .a wave of
the hand
He has wandered into ah unknown
land.
And left us dreaming ^how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers
there.
And you, oh you?who the wildest
yearn
For the old time step, and the glad
I ystattn? - -
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there, as the love of
here;
Think of him still as the same, I say;
He is, not dead?he is just away.
One who- loved him.?M. W
THE OLD HOME PAPER.
I" 0
Sometimes the resident of h community
does not value the home paper
as highly as does the man or
woman who has moved away. There
is a short poem which though annoymous
has been going the rounds of
papers in other sections of the country
for several years and explains
the feeling of the reader who has
moved away from home. We would
like fi^r every Teader of The Courier
to read this little message of appreciation.
It follows: _
It's printed old-fashioned and homely,
Bearing name of a small country
town; ... .
With an unfeigned sneer at its wrapper
queer,
The postman, iu scorn, throws it
down.
But I scan every line that it offerfe.
Each item brings something to view,
Through the vista of years, through
youth's pleasure and fears,
It serves their keen touch to renew,
The death of the girl I once courted,
The growth of a firm I once jeered,
The rise of a friend I love to commend,
The fall of a man I revered. ,
As I reqjl I drift dreamily backward
To the days when to live was a joy,
I think and I po$e, till the city's dull
roar
Grows faint and again I'm a boy.
Rare perfume ef green country byway*,
.>
Fair music of flowers and bees.
And the quaint little town with the
streets leading down
* Via iim.1/ nn/t thn lrtUf_Kftn^inff
* V# VI1C v-i tea UI1U HIV iv/n-wviiui>in
trees.
Around me the forms of my comrades,
About us earth's glories unfurled,
Each heart underfilcd, with the faith
of a child,
Looking forth to a place in the world,
And the paper tells how all have
prospered,
1 follow their lives as they flow,
Applauding each gain and regretting
each pain
For the sake of the days long ago.
Above all the huge city dailies -v
With ponderous utterance wise,
This scant page hath power to spread
for an hour? ?~i
A fairyland sweet to my eyes.
-Apuy good ieei for th?_hbihF gsrSutmcriho
