NELL A. STALLWORTH,
The McCormick Spirit
One night recently two fine
Christian gentlemen, one a Baptist,
the other a Methodist, drove up cc
the house where Rev. Leon T.
Pressly, the A. R. P. minister, and
his wife are living, and began to
unload all kinds of packages. The
pastor quickly asked what all this
meant and the reply was: “Oh, just
a ‘ House-Warming,’ we knew you
had only a few members so we
wanted to help you a little.”
Well, did one ever hear of any
thing like this before—members of!

\ The Mt. Carmel H. D. Club met
in the club room September 9th, at
thp usual hour.
Meeting called to order and de-

Song—America.
Roll call was answered by nam
ing a piece of furniture renovated
or some work done.
Reading of the minutes by secre
tary and approved and adopted by
club.
As September is always the time
to elect officers, re-organization
was the subject for the afternoon.
Mrs. McAlister has been our very
efficient and splendid president for
two years and we regretted very
much to have to give her up.
Miss Susie Patterson was elected
president, Mrs. Ollie Watson, vice-
president, and Mrs. W. H. Horton
re-elected secretary and treasurer.
A discussion of attending the
meeting of the S. C. Council of
Farm Women of Piedmont District
which was to be held at Anderson
College on the 17th.
After a discussion on State plans
the meeting was turned over to Mrs.
Stallworth. She put before the
clubs different programs for the
work; for instance, “How can Ex-
.ension Work help in this time of
depression.”
Poultry raising, dairying, garden
ing, food conservation and cloth
ing were suggested, but Mt. Carmel
Club selected a program on better
homes and gardens which will be
the subject for the coming months.
We were delighted to have Mrs.
Charlie Morgan of McCormick with
us for the afternoon. Mrs. Carrie
Connor and Mrs. J. W. Boyd were
hostesses for the social hour and
served delicious ice cream. Recre
ational part, which was a treasure
hunt, closed the meeting. Mrs.
Horton found the treasure.

things that are so dear to the heart
of Him who gave his all for her?

ing,” the other night, was some
thing entirely out of the ordinary
and much too good, from ih^ pas
tor’s viewpoint, from which to keep |
the general public in ignorance, the |
knowledge of which, will make or
should make all of our good people
to rejoice in this concrete Evidence
of Christian love and harmony.
Now, the faithful and dependable
members of the Baptist and Meth
odist congregations have always
been just as kind and considerate
of their own pastors a$ loyai
Christian people can be, and the
A. R. P. pastor and wife, all along,
have been the recipients of a good
ly share of this good will and gen
erosity, but this last “out-break”
is “news,” and the public has a
right to hear about it and to know
what kind of people compose che
membership of the McCormick
churches. I’m often asked what
kind of people have you in Mc
Cormick, and why do you stay
where your own church is so small,
numerically? This fine Christi'xn
'Spirit (and let me call it “The Mc
Cormick Spirit,”) of which I am
writing, is an answer to both of
these questions. There are> no doubt
some folk in McCormick County,
and some who are members of the
different denominations, who do
not love, honor, please or obey the
Lord; yet there is no question that
McCormick has some as genuine,
true followers of Jesus Christ as
can be found in any community.
This “stunt” that these good men
pulled off the other night as rep
resentatives of many* of their res-
j ct ve churches, and in the name
of their Master, has deepened our
already high esteem for them and
produced in both of our hearts
feelings of strongest and sincerest
appreciation and lasting gratitude,
not unmixed with a very keen
sense of our own unworthinses for
such splendid and unusual co-op
eration, Christian love and good fel
lowship.
Right here, it is only fair and
just to say that more than once W2
have had opportunities to go else
where, however, this most happy
little act the other evening serves to
confirm more strongly an oft re
peated statement and desire of
mine that God will grant me the
privilege of finishing my work as a
minister of the gospel of Jesus
Christ in your kind and hospitable
community.
May God better fit and equip us
each day for serving here.
With our best wishes and heart
felt thanks, we are,
Cordially yours.

Makes Speeial Appeal
For Safety Of The
School Children
MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO EX
ERCISE PARTICULAR CARE
NOW SINCE SCHOOLS
HAVE OPENED
GREENSBORO, Sept. 26.—An ap
peal to motorists to take cognizance
of the new traffic hazard created
by return of children to school
rooms throughout the Carolinas has
been made by Coleman W. Roberts,
president of the Carolina Motor
Club.
Mr. Roberts declared that mo
torists should exercise particular
care to see that the brakes of the
car are in good condition, and also
to familiarize themselves with
driving speeds in the vicinity of
schools.
“In the vast army of school chil
dren are little ones of five and six
years of age leaving the protection
and safety of their homes to enter
an entirely new world,” he said
“There are problems enough with
out that of the reckless driver.
“While there is no doubt that
the teaching of safety in the
schools, safety posters and the •''f-
fective work of the schoolboy pa
trols have done much to protec 4
these youngsters, the problem stil
challenges the best thought of all
citizens.
“Every motorist should feel ob
ligated to have a part in this grea 4
humanitarian work, and they
should realize the enormous dif
ference their care and considera
tion would mean in keeping theSc
children safe from physical harir
as well as from a fear that the;,
may mar the rest of their lives
Such a spirit on the part of thr
car owners will do more than any
thing else to make for safety.”
