They all left Sat urday morning for Beaufort. Beneva Black, of Beaufort, who was For about thirty years one Sat urday in the month of September has been set apart as a day on which every member of the Meth odist Churches • and Sunday Schools of South Carolina has been asked to work and give the proceeds of the day’s work to Ep worth Orphanage. The idea has always been popular with the young people and chil dren of the churches, as well as with many adults. In rural com munities the children have gone in groups to cotton fields to work for their less fortunate friends at Ep worth Orphanage. Others have secured odd jobs around home or in the community to make money on this day to send to the children at the orphanage. The adult mem bers are asked to give an amount equal to one day’s earnings that the children at Epworth Orphan age' may have opportunities to make good in life. Work Day is the one big day of the year for Epworth Orphanage in that the offering on this occasion amounts to about one-half of the total offering for the year. There are in the two conferences in South Carolina 8p9 congregations. Very few of these neglect the orphan children of their church on Work Day. If every one of the 160,000 members of the Methodist church in South Carolina would observe Work Day, the income on this oc casion would be more than enough to pay all expenses for the entire year. Yet, no one would be mak ing a very great sacrifice by giving just one day out of all the year to make life worth while for orphan children. Special envelopes have been dis tributed. The great majority of those who observe Work Day will bring their offering in these en velopes to Sunday school or church on Sunday, September the 15th. Others who are prevented from at tending services on that day will send in their envelopes. Still oth ers will make contributions direct to the orphanage. Epworth Orphanage is caring for 323 orphans. “Work just one day out of the year for the orphans of your church.” Among the students leaving for their studies at the various col leges are: Winthrop College, Rock Hill— Miss Elsie Langley, Miss Willie McComb, Miss Mildred Britt, Miss Sara Schumpert, Miss Martha Lang, Miss Annie Laurie Sturkey, Miss Billie Morrah.
