TO SUPPOR T AH ORPHAN HEART (IF GASTCK1A GIRL TOUCHED Reading About the Terrible Salter , Ings of Children In n ar-StrUen France Led Little Miss MartHa Klizabeth Moore to Organize Her Girl Friends Into Club to Support an Orphan T!) Irty-Thrce Dollars Already Sent, . Gastonia "grown-ups hare no monopoly on "doing things." The young folks of the town are as wide awake as their parents, especially when, it comes to doing , charitable and humanitarian work. The latest morementlnaugurated among the young folks of Gastonia is one looking to the support of French orphan, it culminated a tiay or two ago In the formation of the iFleur de Lis Aid Club comppsci of fifteen young girls, aed ten to twelve yeara. The president is Miss Jennie May Henry, the daughter of Mr and Mrs T. A. Henry, and the secretary- treasurer is Miss Martha Elizabeth Moore, aged ten. duaghter ' of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew K. Moore. This club has undertaken to sup port a French orphan. The sum, re quired to keep one of these "war orphans with its mother or other re lative is $73 for two years. The money Is sent to Life, the well-known New iork publication, which is lost ering this work and which sends the money direct to France far the pur pose designated. Last Saturday the club mailed its check tor ?oJ to Life as a start no its tund, having raised this amount aa soon as the organiza tion was perfected. They expect to make frequent remittances and If any charitably Inclined Gastonian wants to help them such person can do so by sending the amount It is de sired to contribute to Miss Marina Elizabeth Moore, clty.l The idea of supporting a French "war" orphan originated with little Miss Moore who had for some time been reading about the great suffer ing among the 'women and children of France aa a result of the war. &o strongly was her sympathetic heart impressed with the need for help in that war-stricken country that she be gan to talk to her young- school mates about it and Inspired them, under her leadership, to undertake to support at least one French or phan. This is a splendid work ana The Gazette wishes to commend the club in Its effort and hopes that their coffers may be flooded with contri butions from generous-hearted Gas-tonidns. The only male member of the club is Master Tom Moore who has been chosen as page to the club members. L CAPTAIN COY AT WORK. ATTEXDIXG DOKIE MEETING. Many Gastonia Votaries of ft. O. K.

The following from yesterdays Hickory Record will be of interest to Gastonia inasmuch as Capt. Coy -is former resident of Gastonia and had had charge, of the Salvation Army here several months ago. With an advisory board to assist him In his work. Capt. D. G. Coy, in charge of the Volunteers of -America, has taken additional steps to handle the cases of charity and distress thac puzzle Hickory people from time to time. The committee is composed of Messrs. A. K. Joy, Mayor S. L. Whltener, C. W. Ellington. Chief o: Police E. W. Lentz, H. E. Whitener and D. L. Martin. They will be called together to handle all doubt ful cases. The ministers of the city co-operate with Captain Coy, but sometimes they are out of town and the advisory board Is necessary. Captain Coy said today that If the Sunday schools of Hickory would ar range to pay the house rent of his home $20 a month he would find it easier to meet the other expenses of the organization. It has been sug gested that , the Sunday schools re gard the work here as home-missions and that is what it is and raise a small sum every week for the cause. MAKES ANOTHER DASH TO SEA. German Submarine DeutNchlano . Makes Hold Start For Bremen Sailing Out of Harbor in Broad Daylight Waa Without Convey. Xew London, Conn.. Nor. 21. The German merchant submarine Deut schland. with a $2,000,000 cargo and official mail for Emperor Wli liam aboard, made another start for Bremen this afternoon, her dash last Friday being frustrated when she sank a convoying tug necessitating a return to port for minor repairs Her skipper, Paul Koenlg, instead of stealing out to sea under the cover of darkness, boidly sailed down 'the harbor in broad daylight and without convoy. Local marines were sur prised when he again elected to send bis craft through the dangerous wa ters of the race, where the collision occurred in which five of the tug's crew were drowned. . The tug Alert, of the Tascott Wrecking Company, sub-agents of the Eastern Forwarding ' Company, remained a half mile astern today. Passing the .Race safely, the Deut scbland turned- her nose to the east and headed "for Nantucket shoals. The Alert followed her a. short dis tance andsjeturned to her pier. The Deutschland passed Watch Hill, R. I., tonight moving eastward through Black Island. She was with out convoy, 10 miles off shore. Mr. Delehay Promoted. Friends of Ma. J. L.

' Richmond. of , LouUrille, Kentucky, fn - a" recent address to members of the Rotary Clubf gave his definition of a good citizen. which at this particular time is worth passing around: ; "Unless human nature la ; revolu tionlzed," he declared, ."men . . will continue to lore their country above any spot on earth.' They will oe Jealojis of her greatness and valiant in ner aeiense. rioeir eyes wm spar- ie witn prme as tney gaze upon their flag and tbeir hearts thrill with love as the strains oi their national songs reach tbeir ears. "Surely such emotions are worthy they must hare aMlrlne inception. for God never planted a lie in the bu man heart. From the time the exll ed Jews weptyby the waters of Bab ylon to this good day, patriotism has been a powerful factor in the life of all peoples; and long after Carl Marx's attractive theories shall have been consigned to oblivion, men wilt continue to love the land of their fathers and be ready to defend It against the world. "The American nation Js a partner- snip oi citizens; our laws are tne composite thought of our citizens and our national ideals are the pro ducts of their hearts and brains. "One of the distinctive features of a good citizen Is unselfishness. He subscribes to that fundamental po litical maxim the greatest good for the greatest number, as opposed to that sinister philosophy, as hideous as it is prevalent the greatest gain for the favored few. Such a citizen Is willing to vote for good roads bonds, even if the road doesn't toucn his farm. He is willing to tax him self for good schools, even tbougn he has no children of school age. He works for and helps pay for an audi torium, even though it is not built in his backyard. He has in him tne spirit of notary,- for be lires our motto He Profits Most Who Serves Best. "The good citizen is one who re fuses to be a pawn of a political ma chine or party, but votes as con science and Judgment guide him. He is free from the hide-bound political prejudices and bigotry. "A man that dares scratch a tick et, change his party affiliation, dt vorcing himself from the shackles of party name, commands my unstinted admiration and respect. I have heard men of affairs and of fair in telligence boast of the fact that they had never scratched a ticket! Any man who has voted for ten years and never scratched a party ticket has failed to perform his full duty as a sovereign voter. I stand pat on that statement. Ticket scratchers in the United States once were called 'Mugwumps.' This title, once brand of shame, is a badge of digni ty and honor. Tne good citizen is constructive in his activities. He doesn't stoop to carping and vengeful criticism. If he offers criticism, it is prompted by duty and tempered with charity, and it is constructive criticism. He does not stop with mere criticism any fool can criticise and most of them do but he offers a wholesome sub stitute. If he destroys the picture, he supplies another more beautiful to take its place. He is a builder, not a vandal. 'Deliver me-from the man who is agin' everything; from the man that never sees any good in anything or anybody; from the small and de spicable body of misanthropes who wear smoked glasses, feast on blue pills, and quench their thirst with vinegar. "But how wholesome and inspir ing are those choice spirits who can see good in everything! One reason I love Bobby Burns so much is be cause he, big-hearted man that be was, discovered a little good in the deril 'Good citizens are men who can give those elected to office by vicious rings and by unscrupulous methods, credit for doing the square thing sometimes, and who are honest enough and broad enough to com mend those officials for so doing. "The good citizen is a forward looking -man. He does not get . all his inspiration from the past. But we must not deceive ourselves into thinking that every new theory is good merely because it is new; nor are we to admit the infallibility or all old philosophies because they are clothed y ln moss-covered precedents and-have the dignity of age. We too often err by going to one or the otb- er of these extremes. "And, finally, a good citizen is a man who places a higher value on the soul than he does on a dollar The political and economic philoso phy of the past concerned itself chier iy with the rights of property; tne new and infinitely better philosopny. destined soon to be the heart and spirit of all our laws, is that whicn places human rights above all other considerations. The lowest basis on which any question can be settled, moral or political, is the dollar ba sis. No question ever has 'or ever will receive ultimate settlement on that ground. Runnymede,' Bunker Hill and Yorktown, the French Rev olution, and Appomattox all sup port the proposition .that every great issue is disposed of finally In favor of the rights of man. "That must be the dynamic phil osophy of America, and of the world, until every selfish Interest is made subservient to the good of all; until every licentious business, that saps the life and the manhood of our peo ple, is destroyed, even if it destroys property by the billions; yes, until all the world shall turn their eyes toward the motto of Rotary He Profits Most Who Serves Best."

Hebrews M:aV i The weekly prayer meeting has been called the'pulse of the church, but it is more ; It la really the heart itself; It is the ideal church in wor ship; it Is the church gathering of the Apostolic days. There were two fo'rms of public worship among; the Jews In Christ's day, the temple and the synagogue. The first was ritualls- . 1 1 anil aolanf Hffl yjjjj the tsense that the priests and Le- ritea conducted It The second was simple and v democratic in the 'sense that all the people took part in it. There was only one temple and that was located In Jerusalem, but there was a synagogue in erery town where as many as fen male Jews resided. Ita order ot service consisted merely In the reading of a portion, of the law and the prophets, the chanting of a psalm and an extempore prayer. Then the meeting was thrown open, as we now say, and the people (the men, at least) were at liberty to take part. The Christian church Is built not on the model of the temple tut the synagogue, as we see from Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians where, at chapter 14, he Is correcting certain disorders that had crept Into the as sembly because of the liberty thus granted to the people A Popular Gathering. Our texl applies to -such a gathering as this. That Is to say, the writer has in mind not a formal service, such as is represented at a Sabbath gathering In one of our present churches, but a popular gathering of the people where the meeting is thrown open for all to exercise their spiritual gifts. It is just such a gathering as a prayer meeting always ought to be. (1). He enjoins such an assem bling of ourselves together as a duty to be obeyed., We ought not to for sake it, just as in other places God tells us not to commit murder, not to steal, Hot to be guilty of adultery, not to bear false witness; so here we are nt to forsake the assembling of cur- selves together. In other words it ia it command that Christians cannot es cape. (2). It is a privilege to be enjoyed. for the context tells us that thus by prayer we have "boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus," and that we have "an High Priest over the house of God." This being the case, what blessings aiy we being denied If we inus iorsiiKe me assemDiing or our selves together! Some of these olesslngs are of a rery practical every-day sort. The Continent tells of a business house in Chicago which asked a country corre spondent to recommend a man for responsiwe position. Tbe reply was. A young man passes my house every Wednesday evening on his way to prayer meeting at precisely a quarter of eight. I like the looks of that. Shall I Inquire further about hlmf' The result was a position at a salary larger tnan tne young man ever dreamed of receiving. The editor add ed what is entirely true, that the pray er meeting habit Is a good asset. The prayer meeting young man Is likely to have the right basis of character. Tltere are hypocrites there, but that is an evidence of the genuine. (3). It represents a need to be sup- piled, for the context says, "Let us hold fast the DTofession of our faith without wavering and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works." The relation of our -t ... wnsiian experience in the prayer meeting and the exhortation and ap ical that accompany it. express our consideration for one another as breth ren In Christ, and the result Is stimu lating unto love and to good works. It is thus that we are able to hold fast the profession of our faltb. There was a man, the father of a family-that attended my church at one time, who resisted ail, my anneals to win him to the -Savior, and his wife told me he had resisted similar appeals 4 rrom ner former pastors. By and by on his death bed he accepted Christ and witnessed a good confession be fore his family and friends. One day I asked him what was the cause of his conversion, and found that he attributed it to no 'sermon he bad ever beard, hut to the testimony of an elderjy woman In a prayer meet ing in the country t&wn where he lived more than 40 years before. He resided with an aunt who com pelled him to go because she would not leave him alone in the house dur ing her absence. He hated to go, but he had to go, and there he heard the testimony of this woman from which he had never been able to get away. Now that he was facing eternity It had moved him to receive and confess Christ. . - ' . r Let. roc urge yon to stand by your church prayer meeting, and to do yoar part to make it of vital value.
