The author —Mrs, B. yon Herff. As it is an editorial in itself, we print it here: “I see in The Pilot that they are going to build a new postof fice on the grounds of the Southern Pines Hotel and I want to call your attention to a ver>’ beautiful tree which Dr. von Herff planted there many years ago. “Please make it known to the builders not to cut dowTi that tree; it is ver>' valuable, an evergreen oak, very rare in those parts. Charles Deaton, the flor ist. can point it out to you. When we were there two years ago w^e saw it still standing and in a very fine condition. You know how much my husband al ways tried to introduce new trees and plants to his beloved Southern Pines. Very little is left of all his efforts. He cared so much for that tree.

Simonds West Broad Street Southern Pines JUST ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR WHY A ds) we best accomplish these Chris tian teachings? The answer is evident: through the twin agen cies, the Church and the Sunday School. Then w'e are in favor of these agencies or institutions, and we recognize their great and important objectives and the tremendous influence they are actually exerting upon the relig.- ious, moral and business life of our community. That’s good, but that is not sufficient. These good institu tions cannot exist unless you and I DO something. What must we do then? We must support them. How? By attending them, and I mean regularly, until we form the habit. We will then be sufficiently interested in the church and Sunday School that we will want to and will main tain them financially including the up-keep of the church build ers’ salaries and all the other es sential activities of the c'hurch. This truth I want to impress most strongly upon my readers: Yon cannot and will not be very much interested in anything un less you know something about that thing; the church and Sun day School, which we have ad mitted are great and good insti tutions, cannot exist without necessary support, and they can not get that support from people who are not interested in them, and the only way inat people can get interested in them is by learning about them, and the best way to learn about them is to attend them and attend them regularly. Besides all that the services are enjoyBble. Let’s ti.y it.
