C., TUESDAY MORNIN G, NOVEMBER 13, 1928 EIGHT PAGES TODAY NUMBER 90 District Meeting Episcopal Ladies Seventy-One Representatives From Wake, Johnston ant Harnett Met Friday Witt St. Paul's Church Here — Rev. Ellwood L. Haines Speaker F By MISS MATTIE POL The Wake County District of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Episcopal church mjet for the eleventh session with St. Paul’s church, Smithfield, last Friday, Nov. 9. Seventy-tone representa tives were present, from churches in Wake, Johnston and Harnett counties. Holy Communion was celebrat ed at eleven o’clock by Rt. Rev erent Joseph Blount Cheshire, Bishop of the diocese, assisted «by Rev. II. G. Lane, of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Raleigh. The business session was call ed to order by the president, Mrs. J. S. Holmes, of Raleigh. After the opening hymn, “Lead on oh King Eternal,” the address of greeting was made by Mrs. If. L. Skinner, president of the hos tess auxiliary. The formality /which usually characterizes such c?W^sions, was happily broken by Mrf. Skinner, when she said that when she was called upon several years ago to make a similar ad dress, she had prepared an elab orate speech, but that when the crucial moment arrived. she found that stage fright had driv en every word of the speech from her mind. So now she declared that she would only say that her auxiliary cordially welcomed the visiting branches, and felt high ly honored by (thei;tj presence. The response, in an equally happy vein, was made by Mrs. II. K McIntyre of Raleigh. M* n Vsess E 11 Sec suh f the his After the reading of the min utes and roll calk, four special topics were taken up. “The Edu cational Institute at Christ Church, Raleigh next Tuesday, November 13.” "The Spirit of Missions.” “The Legislative Coun cil” and “Hodgson-Enteral Hos pital at Sewanee.” Mrs. Lay and Miss Margaret Lee, of Raleigh, and others discussed these sub jects in an interesting manner. Noonday prayer followed, and en the principal address of the ession was made by Rev. | wood L. Haines, Executive retary of the Diocese. His ject was “The whole work »> whole c’jhurch” and , while theme was all-embracing, his in timate knowledge of every phase of the work enabled him to pre sent it in closely condensed state ments, which were at the same time impressive and easily re membered. Several >^Lat/enients especially linger in the memory. That today, in the United States four million children have no contact with church or Sunday school. That there are now 350,00(1 Indians in the United States whom the church is trying to lift out of the sloth and ignorance re sulting fr^m their reservation life. That St. Augustine Univer sity, in Raleigh, maintained by the Episcopal church for young negro men and women, has more stu dents today than both Tuskegee .and Hampton institutes combined. *^iThe portion of Mr. Haines' ad which dealt with foreign missions was especially impressive ■because he spoke with the voice of experience, having been himself for several years at the front. He was in charge of a school for ne gro boys and girls in Africa— Turn to page five, please Tantalizer There are exactly enough let ters in the line below to spell the wame of a person in Smith field or Johnston county, and if the right one deciphers his name and will present it to the Herald office, we will present him with a free ticket to the Victory Theatre.
