If all of Gastonla, or any very large part of It, had heard Miss Sa rah Askew's address on "What a Library Meant to a Community," de livered before the North Carolina LI brary Association at ..the auditorium Wednesday night, we believe that the next twelve months would un doubtedly hare seen Gastonla's pub lic library housed in a good build tng and Its equipment enlarged to a point where It 'would be one of the - most powerful and far-reaching in etltutlona In the town and county. By concrete examples the speaker showed what a library has done for other communities. What it has : - done for others It can do for Gasto nla, The right book put into the hands of the light boy or the right girl at the right time has been the means of . giving the world many of lta great est educators, artists, scientists, bus iness men, writers, etc. t A fully-equipped, up-to-date li brary In Gastonla would result in better cotton mill operatives, wbicn ' would mean better products at bet ter prices. It would result In better " health, .better -sanitary . conditions, better government, more educated, intelligent, efficient business men and citizens of all classes. ; Gastonla .has a public library, we are proud to say and it has done great good. It remains a fact, bow ever, that our library has had only scant support and Is handicapped for lack: of funds, lack of a building and lack of Interest on the part of the town as a whole. , , The Gazette expects to see a mod ern public library In a good building la Gastonla some of these days. Why put it off? We are losing every . day br not having it. This is a sub ject well worth consideration. PSESSTTEES 10 ME" BALL!

Of outstanding interest and special Importance In the calendar of the Southern : Presbyterian ' Church the present year is the rally day in the interest of. the endowment fund for ministerial relief, to be observed throughout the church on Sunday, April 16. Before that date there ill be sent to the pastor of every church in the General Assembly, from the office of Rev. Henry H. Sweets, D. D Louisville, Ky., secre tary of the executive committee of ministerial relief, all necessary printed matter regarding the need of the beneficiaries of the church retired ministers, widows of minis ters and orphan children of minis ters and the duty and obligation of the Church to provide for the same adequate support. Special effort will be made on that day to get the entire membership of every church to contribute liberally to the endow ment fund for ministerial relief and thus enable the church on that day to go as far as possible in meeting the terms of the liberal offer of one ruling elder of the church to give to this endowment fund during the present year $68,000, provided the church contributes to the same fund during the year an amount twice as large, or $136,000. The endowment fund for ministerial relief at the present time is $332,000' and when the terms of the offer of this ruling elder have been met this fund will 5 j2Js BACI0CPn2)lK . .;.

An average contribution of only $11.50' from each of the 11,803 rul ing elders of the church or the same amount from each of the 11,845 deacons during the year would meet in full the terms of this offer in Uie interest of "the claim supreme but forgotten" of the chuveb. The opinion is growing rapidly that the chief reason the cause of ministerial relief has not claimed the attention and the support of church es as It should is due more largely to lack of information upon the part of the membership of the church than to lack of gratitude, and special effort is being made by the Southern Presbyterian Church to supply this lack of Information as rapidly as possible. The salaries received by ministers during the years of active service in the church are so small, in by far the larger per cent of cases as to preclude the possibility of making provision for the needs of their de clining years and for the support of dependent members of families. A minister who is known the world around has this to say regard ing the small salaries of ministers: The man who wears himself out. day by day, in service for others should not be compelled to worry about how he will meet the needs of the body in old age. If a minister has worn himself out for the church. it is the basest Ingratitude for tbe church not to care for him in his de clining years. It is radically wrong . when a prize fighter In 15 minutes can earn more than a country parson does in 15 years. A penny expended for the support of aged ministers and teach ers is a penny expressing a nation's gratitude to the most faithful of its servants and the truest of its citizens." A recognized leader in the inter est of ministerial relief in tbe Pres- nyterian Church. U. S. A., has writ ten as follows on this sublect: "No self-respecting church can continue to maltreat its aged ministers with out losing that self-respect.

GROWLING KNOCKED OUT. Charlotte Observer. A cable order from Petrograd on the Gastonla .Manufacturing Com pany for yarns that could not be fill ed reveals a thrifty condition of all the mills in that city, the warehous es being pretty well cleaned out and the mills running at full capacity to keep up with business. When, mills turn down orders because they have not the supply of goods, business must be about as good as could be desired. The fact is, that the past iz montns have brought about an unparalleled Improvement in the cotton mill situation. The mill men naa Become almost as great a set of growlers as the farmers and the manufacturer who did not have something to complain of was not considered a happy man, but times have changed and the face of both the mill ma,n and the farmer has been contracted to normal shape.

ORIGINAL THIRTEEN WITH MISS ARMSTRONG. At her home on South York street yesterday afternoon Miss Clara Armstrong entertained the Original Thirteen Club. Tbe hostess, charm ingly gowned in white taffeta, was assisted during the afternoon by her sisters, Mrs. Clyde Armstrong and Ethelda Armstrong, and her house guest, Miss Nell McLean. Cut flowers and potted plants were artistically used in decorating the reception hall and parlor, where tables were ar ranged for rook. The score cards were exceedingly quaint, being hand painted Kewpies. Most delicious Balad and ice courses were served, in which the Easter idea was carried out. Mrs. C. B. Armstrong, mother of the hostess, graciously invited the guests into the dining room, which was quite spring-like with its bow ers of dogwood blossoms. The ta ble was strikingly effective and pic turesque with its beautiful lace cov er in the center of which stood a lovely basket, tied with yellow tulle ano nned RECEIVED TODAY a shipment of cake.

On this special rally day for min isterial relief in the Southern Pres byterian Church every member of the church will be reminded of the declaration of the General Assembly of 1915 that the endowment fund for ministerial relief "should be re garded as an opportunity for special liberality rather than as a part of the regular budget." It is believed that as the result of this rally day in the church, this inherent elaim will be recognized more than haa yet been true, and in accord with the following impressive words of Dr. 8weet in this connection: "The church takes a man in his youth, de mands that he shall spend a number of the best years of bis life in its schools, that he shall turn aside from the avenues into which other men go In pursuit of wealth, and that he shall give the church ail of hia tim ana strength in service. In return tbe chnrch promises suDnort for him. self and for those who are dependent upon him for life, and it is reasona ble to suppose that' the fnlflllment nf thla promise will be according to the ability of the church."
