Ben ; ne11svi 1 le Advocate*. Methodists Plan 1 Orphans Day1 It has ong been the custom f<>the Methodists of South Carolina o] observe :?n annual "Work Day" for Kpworth Orphanage. The idea being! for every Methodist to give his earn-i ings of that one clay to carry on the, work of caring for and training a! large family of 325 orphans at Ep-j worth Orphanage. I This year the clay has been set for Saturday, September 19, the offering to be made on the following Sunday in all the Sunday Schools and tflci churches of the denomination. The 294 pastors and 727 superintendents of Sunday Schools have made their plans for observing the clay throughout the state. Many ofi the larger Sunday schools have ar-' ranged a contest between the differ-, ent departments in the matter of giv-l ing to the Work Day fund. In many! of the rural districts some good men in these communities, who have a great deal of cotton to pick, have )f-j fered to furnish transportation and pay an increased price for picking >\,i all who will give their earnings t>! the day to the Orphanage. In fact,1 thousands of the children of t!i. : ( hurc'n will tinc 1 some j<^bs to do on Saturday. September 19, that they j might earn something to give when! the Work Da\ offering is taken on, Sunday 20. A goodly number of the Methodist! Sunday Schools take an offering on<-e a month throughout the year but Work Day is observed by nearly all. As a result, just about the same amount is received from the Work Day offering as is contributed all the year through monthly offerings. This year, mure than ever before a liberal Work Day offering is needed. Monthly offering;- have been smaller consequently the1 need of a liberal Work Day offering is great. However hard' times may be. surely everyone can afford to give one day's work to help those who are les- fortunate. Ju-t i one day out of all the days of tlv j | year to help orphan children.
