THE GASTON! A DAILY GAZETTE ...a 'jwSSXR SUNDAY AT A Directory Showin Where Service Will Bo Held Tomorrow In The Churches Of The City And County ' Of All Denomination, Together With New Item Concerning Religious Activities Of All Sort. In Caiton. 1 Rev. George , SONG OF THE TIMES. 04 imposes not a burden Heavier than man can bear; taTobly borne, it proves a guerdon Mortal man might hardly spare; Tear the burden from hi heart, i . Ma, and all he lovee would part. h " ' Pear thou not, encounter boldly That which meet thee on thy way; Ha who went before hath told thee ' Thou shalt overcome one iay. '; Nerve thy heart with strong assurance, Brace. thy limbs to long endurance. Soldiers, face the hottest battle Till the day is bravely won, Disregard the cannon's rattle And the carnage and the gun; Victory achieved today Helps tomorrow on its way. 3axy hands with toil unceasing. " Throw the shuttle to and fro. While the damask wub increasing ' Gleams among the threads below, Weary labor never ceaseth While the lengthy web increaseth. Shrink thou not nor be faint hearted J untoward circumstance Fires are quenched and waters parted For the saints deliverance; Fear thoo not what may befall then, ; Boldly go where duty calls thee. T" . Selected. The Grouch. f 4 Th fellow who persists in creating a "blue' atmosphere, in the church, in 1 "'" and at home," with his pessimistic views,, reminds us of the professor who 1 -t was, lecturing to his pupils on the rhi v aoeeros and who said, "I must beg you to give me your undivided attention. It is absolutely' impossible that you can form a true idea of this hideous animal aniens you keep your eyes fixed on me. ' ' School Week. ' Whatever may be true of a departure - generally from the true standard of edu cation ia present day schools, we of Gas tenia, with a sense of observation, can sot fall to be impressed by the progress f the public school system in Gaston eoaety. -As we drive through our rural districts 'aad suburban mill communities sad note on every hand the handsome . ani commodious school buildings com pleted, or in course of construction, we reaSM something of the progTesa that has bee made, but this is not all. A lass percentage of the men and women in these communities were privileged to sajoyv at th best, the simplest and most 1 swftktteataiy knowledge of education, and . aaawy of these were deprived of even a "smking knowledge of the three R's '-tiers being a little more fortunate in ; - attending, for 'restricted periods, six weeks or at the most, three months temrs i wf sjehool. When we remember this, then it is that the full significance of "school week" dawns upon us and we realize .that Gaston county school children are reaping the educational benefits denied their parents. Notable instances of this . can be seen at Ranlo, District No. 12 and ' Booth Gastonia. Not only handsome and splendidly equipped buildings but with educational systems that provide capable and competent teachers, all of the ad vanced methods of teaching, the full . eight-grade grammar eourse in each school, ' and employment of teachers twelve months in the year. School week iny Gastonia and Gaston county should atne us who boast of " city advantages ' ' to 'ait np" and compare the erowded cwaditioa of city hchools with improved conditions in the eounty. , Encouraging. With all the curtailing of production, tewaward trend of markets, reduction of wages and all the gloomy talk concern ... : iag declension, depression and dire pre- oeatiaaent, our people are attending hrch in larger and increasing numbers aad taking more active interest ia things . . ,v pertaining to the kingdom. "If you kaow you are doing ; ' Tonr best every day, With the 'right on your side, Never mind what 'they' say." . Aaable night returns a shining morrow -Aad days of joy ensue sad nights of sor- ' The days of bliss be not on beds of down, he that had no cross deserves no ' -' crown." ' Gaston MinisUrs. The next meeting of ministers of all -sVwomiastions ia Gaston eounty will be "heM ia Gastonia oa the second Monday ia January. Tbey will have dinner at ths) Loray Cafeteria and meet afterward fm discussion In one of tho Loray -sote the date and arrange to be present, wot the date and ararnge to be present . Ismtations will be mailed later. ' Ths Near East . - At a meeting-of the Gastonia Minis terial Alliance held last Monday mom Jag. Bev. C. Barrett was appointed committee of one to invite Bev.: Dr. . T-ere, of the ' Baptist Home Mission Ssard, Bictmoad, ,Ts-, to come to Gas towia tomorrow night T and present the anse of relief for suffering ia the Near Tut at a union meeting of tha down town congregations. Dr. Love has per son ally visited the foreign fields of suf--fering and starvation and could have told how "in one place the starving, dirt-be-gTimed children gathered around him oa the street begging, crying, and actually trying to elirob up his limbj fo food hs held in his hinds," and how "after d'v'ullpg 'his portion With them it was ncceMary for him to wash lis hands from THE CHURCHES R. Gfllespi. Kditsr tbe contact." ) It is to be regretted that Dr. Love could not come at this time. It is the request of the Gastonia Minis terial Alliance, through its president. Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway, that every pas tor ia Gastonia make an appeal to his congregation tomorrow in an effort to add Gastonia 's share to a substantial re lief fund. All persons interested are re quested to make generous offerings through their respective churches. "They reach their little hands to you, Their hands so tbin and white; They trust to you, while winter steals I' pon them iu the night." 8ion M. Lynani iu Presbyterian Staud ard. Presbyterian Ministers. The Gaston County Presbyterian Min inters will meet at the First Presbyterian church iu Gastonia Monday afternoon, December 13, at 3 o'clock. A matter of vital importance is to be discussed and a full attendance is desired. Pastor Doing Good Work. Bev. M. A. Matheson, pastor of the West Airline M. K. church, has been em ployed by the Gastonia School Board to teach tho illiterates of the city, and he is now conducting night schools in sev eral city districts where the school census showed a number of persons who could not read or write. Mr. Matheson will soon organize day classes for those em ployed at night. This is real missionary work and one that will be productive of results. Card of Thanks.

"i suppose you have been reading ooti of those fool sun shine books, and you think a man can be In a good humor Jn.st by saying be Is going I to .be. BaUa man f ."can't "control his j ; ' humors any more i than be can con-';- trol dreams. V "Some days I r; feel like the orlg- -u- toal Sanay San ueL and I Just naturally go around shedding light Into the dark places, and making everybody glad. At such times the world seems an unqualified success, and the fact that I was born Into it does not cause me any remorse. If some prominent citizen backed me up against a fence and asked me what made me feel so gay, I couldn t give him any helpful Information. I don't know, myself, what causes the chip per feeling. I suppose It must be be cause my works are In good condition, doing their digestive stunts at the old stand. "After a few days the glad feeling passes away, and instead of being a Sunny Samuel I become a Mournful Moses. I have all kinds of presenti ments of evil. I have a firm convic tion that the bottom is about to drop out of everything, and that TH be mixed up with the wreckage. I take a pessimistic view of everything, and go grouching around until even the cows are sick of seeing tne. and they give me a lift with their hind feet as a gentle bint that I should come out of my trance. "If a leading bnsiness man asked me to explain ray melancholy I couldn't do It The world seems to be moving along as though nothing bad happened, the same old sun Is shining on the day shift, and the scented zephyrs are blowing through my whiskers as of old. "Often a man begins the day wrong, through some accident or unpleasant experience. Then he knows why be has a grouch, but that doesn't1 help him to get rid of it This morning I was lying in bed dreaming that I was the only original white bope, and Mhat I was making a herok: effort M bring the laurels back to the Cauca slan race. I was Just administering an uppercut that seemed destined to bring home the bacon, when I fell out of bed and practically ruined my bead against the floor. ."I came downstairs In a beastly hu mor, and after breakfast I went over and picked a quarrel with old Doo llttle, so that he had to shin up a tree to escape violence, and all because I j wns feeling ornery. It wouldn't have .; been safe for any man to tell me that j In order to begin the day right all a I man has to do Is to begin It right. j "I have gone out from the house to milk the cows In the morning, many a , time, feeling as blithesome nnd glad as a dlckeyblrd, and quite fntlsfled j that the day was going to be one ' round of pleasure. Then a cow would give me a poke In the ribs with one of her .celluloid horns, or push her big spiny foot Into a brimming bucket of milk, and the joyous stuff was all off. and Td be so sore all day that Aunt Julia would hand me my meals with a pitchfork. "The other morning I got up feeling so mean that I was ashamed to look in the mirror. . I went downtown after breakfast. In the mood to rob a blind organ grinder of bis few plugged nickels. Then I went to the post of fice and got a registered letter. A man who had owed me $2 for five years had an Ingrowing conscience at last and sent the money to me. When 1 1 left the post office everybody com 1 mented on my winning smile and said i I was the little sunbeam of the town." 1 Twins Strangely Linked.
