Wide Recreation
Training Institute
< "
The Works Progress Administra
tion provided a State-wide
Recreation Training Institute held
in the Clemson College Community
House located at the Sand Hills
Experiment Station, Pontiac, S. C.,
January 20-24.
Each county director attended
and in some instances other work
ers came, making a total of 50 or
more in attendance. The program
^ 0 1 was well planned by Mrs. Davies,
Sunday School Lesson women’s work consultant.
The recreation leaders feel that
the State was indeed fortunate as
well as having derived much bene
fit from lectures given by Dr.
Harold D. Meyers, W. P. A. Recre
ational Coordinator.
The following topics were dis
cussed in regular class period:
A—Community Organization.
B—Community Recreation.
C—The Place of Recreation in
Modern Life.
D—The Recreation Council.
E—Bibliography and Recreation
Leadership.
The Institute welcomed Mr.
Leon Clayton, Recreation Instructor
of the Extension Department,
Clemson College. In his very in
teresting lectures he stressed Rec
reation for rural communities.
Also gave demonstrations of how to
put on recreation parties or com
munity nights.
Other interesting features of the
week were, Construction, Operation,
and Promotion of Marionette and
Puppet Plays; Observation of rural
and urban community centers;
Singing led by Mr. W. H. Huey of
the Youth Administration; Lecture
by Mrs. J. A. Riley on “How H. D.
Clubs Can Cooperate With the
Recreation Director;’’ Dr. Roger L.
Coe, State Youth Director, explain
ed W; P. A.-N Y. A. Cooperation
in Extending Recreation Facilities.
Announcement was made that
Miss Betty Brooks had been ap
pointed our New State Director of
Recreation.
Each county Dixector is expecting
to accomplish more by having at
tended this training Institute.

mm:
What did Jesus teach? It is clear
that his doctrine was influenced by
the best Jewish morality of his age.
But in his hands the traditional
moral code became a new system,
with a new unity, a new emphasis
on the value of the individual soul,
and a fresh approach to God. More
over we find a positive accent in
the gospels which is a welcome
contrast to the negative note of
the Old Testament legislation.
Then, too, we discover a preoccupa
tion with the inner life. In the Ser
mon on, the Mount, a part of which
has been chosen for OuV lesson, we
find the Master insisting that the
moral quality of an act is determin
ed by the thought or intention be
hind it. Jesus here teaches, says
Prof. E. F. Scott, ’ that “the best
conduct is worthless when it is only
an outward performance for the
sake of show or reward, and not
the revelation pf a man’s inner
self.” Best of all^ We find the Mas
ter’s lofty philosophy of living ex
emplified in his own person. He
was not an idle dreamer who failed
to practise what lie preached. Jesus
actually lived what he taught.
Of course his emphasis is con
stantly on right living. This in
volves renunciation. “He that
Jbseth his life shall find it.” Earthly
goods, valuable as they are, must
be* cast aside if they interfere with
the Wealth of the spirit. “What
shall it profit a man, if he shall
gain the whole world, and lose his
•wn soul?” In addition, right living
demands humility/ How often the
Master attacked' self-advertise
ment! Courage; too, is essential.
The key to the meaning of the
gospel is fouhd in the oft-repeated
watchword “Fear not!” Then faith
fulness is underscored by the Mas
ter. Several of the finest parables
are built around the theme of fidel
ity in one's stewardship. Finally,
absolute sincerity is Insisted upon.
All useless oaths and every trace
of hypocrisy must be abandoned.

Tribute to Miss
Annie Lou Morgan
It is our privilege to pay a trib
ute of love to one whom it was our
pleasure to know, and to teach,
in the day and Sunday school in
her youth.
Annie Lou Morgan was bom and
reared in a Christian home where
God was deeply reverenced; was a
devout, pure-hearted, obedient
child. This home training was re
flected in her school life. We found
her thoughtful, kind-hearted, un
selfish, obedient, and loyal to every
duty.
In early childhood she gave her
young life to her Savior, and was

McCORMICK, - - - - S. C.
zealous in good works; a faithful
laborer in the Lord’s vineyard. She,
at different times, served as leader
of the Sunbeams and R. A’s, and
was a conscientious teacher of a
Sunday school class as long as she
was physically able to serve.
Hers was a life of service and un
selfish devotion to her home, her
neighbors and her church. Her un
assuming manner and faithfulness
in the performance of life’s duties
meant much in her influence for
good, and was an inspiration to
many.
Loved by all who came in touch
with her beautiful life, she stands
as a challenge to us for greater,
more unselfish service.
It seemed her chief delight to
lend a helping hand to those less
fortunate than she, and to speak
a word of cheer and encourage
ment to one in distress. She will be
sadly missed, not only in her own
church and community, but in
homes where The Edgefield Ad
vertiser and McCormick .Messenger
made their weekly visits. Already
the absence of her letters to the
county papers has been felt, as she
was an interesting writer.
This tribute is an expression of
love for her, and our sympathy for
those who mourn, but:
“Why should we mourn departing
friends,
Or shake at death’s alarms?
’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to His arms.”
In mourning, we rejoice in the
memory of her exemplary life, and
in the comforting assurance that
she is not dead, but has been called
to a richer, fuller life in that glo
rious land, where “God shall wipe
away all tears,” where she shall en
joy “an inheritance incorruptible
and undefiled, that fadeth not
away.”
We now extend to her loved ones
our heartfelt sympathy, with the
assurance that she has gone to
dwell in the home of our Heavenly
Father, whom it was her delight
to serve.

Tribute To Miss
Annie Lou Morgan
Editor of the Messenger:
I noticed by your paper a few days
ago of the passing of one of the
best friends I ever had, and I feel
that she was also a friend to many
in the county and even beyond
its bounds. The name of Miss Annie
Lou Morgan was almost sacred in
the homes of her community, and
has been since she was a small
girl, because she always stood for
the highest and best in life.
The people of the Rehoboth com
munity have lost their best friend.
No one who has come into that lit
tle church for years has not felt
the influence of her life upon them,
and I dare say all of them have
either been spoken to or received
a letter telling of her interest in
their spiritual welfare. I know when
:,he was received by her Heavenly
"ather He told her of many good
deeds that she didn't realize she
had performed, and she is indeed
wearing a crown that is richly de
served.
I don’t know the day when she
wasn’t a Christian, and she was
only a few years older .than I am.
Her life from a small girl was filled
with good works. She was a most
unusual character; intelligent, well
read and a lover of the beautifail.
There was never a time that she
didn’t have some flowers in bloom
around her home, and it was al
ways her delight to share them
with her friends. She has cheered
many a lonely heart that had few
cheering words from the public.
Her weekly letters in the Mes
senger will be missed by those who
have migrated to other sections of
the state to live. They were always
full of news, and her tributes to
the passing of friends will ever be
cherished by grief stricken loved
ones.
Her passing has been a great
grief to me. I loved her and real
ized her worth. The rich heritage
she has left behind should be a
stimulus to those who knew her
to live better lives; to imitate her
Christ-like life, and to make the
best of life as she did. She carried
on to the end and the fragrance
of her life will always permeate
mine as long as I live, and I am
sure there are hundreds of others
who give the same testimony of
her beautiful life. I thank G
her. I praise Him that
spend her days so usef
community, and I tru§j
who now reside in tj)
both community v/ilj
their lives to His
perhaps prayed ,iti
secret. Gcd g-^nt 1
and may His light forever shine
upon her. *•
