NEWBERRY DISTRICT LUTHER LEAGUE The Newberry District Luther Lea gue held its regular Fall Convention at Mt. Tabor Lutheran church on September 28th, 1941. The topic was “Always Christ’s Way," which was brought out in the sermon by the lo cal pastor, Rev. D. M. Shull. Pastor Shull preached a most forceful ser mon, and one that will linger with- the leaguers for sometime. The good ladies of the congregation served a most bountiful dinner at the noon hour. The afternoon session was devoted to a n Institute conducted by the State Officers and Dr. Paul 1 M. Kinports, of Philadelphia, Pa. This was very bene ficial as well as interesting to those present. The newly elected officers for the year 1941-42 were installed by Rev. E. Z. Pence, president of the Lutheran Synod of South Carolina, and local pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran church, Little Mountain, S. C. The names of the officers are as follows: President, Miss Pearle Hamm, Sil- verstreet, S. C. Vice-presiuent, Miss Sara Mae Ki- nard, Newberry, S. C., R. F. D. Recording Secretar”, Miss Azilee Graddick, Newberry, S. C. 1 Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Otis , Shealy, Little Mountain. , Treasurer, Miss Mirian Singley, Prosperity. Educational Secretary, Miss Mary Elizabeth Cmints, Pomarla. Miss. See., Mr. C. A. Cameron, Prosperity. Life service secretary, Miss Ida Mae Franklin. Newberry. Publicity secretary, Mr. John Ful mer, Newberry. The leaguers feel the great need of some way in which they can better raise their obligations, and due to that need they have chosen a Finance Committee, which is composed of the following leaguers: Mr. James C. Kinard, Jr., Chrm., Newberry; Mr. F. E. Metts, Little Mountain; Mr. Robert StoudemJre, Little Mountain; Miss Marian Singley, Prosperity; Mis® Mildred’ Lester, Newberry. The Sustaining Membership Fund is another very important phase of our league work, and we felt the need of a special committee for this too. They are as follows: Mr. William Pesry, Chairman, New berry; Miss Azilee Graddick, Newber ry; Miss Bonnelle Buzhardt, Newber ry, R. F. D. We also, have other important com mittees, which are doing a great work The “Cheer Committee", com posed of the following members: Mr. Carroll Taylor, Chairman, Pros perity; Miss Ida Mae Frankhn, and Miss Elizabeth Boozer of Newberry. Their duties are wide and varied, and are highly appreciated in the work that they do. Their name is truly correct for they do lots of good:, and bring cheer to those less fortunate. The Newberry District Luther Lea gue hopes to have a much better year than the one just passed. This is the beginning of a new >ear, an<j we trust that all Lutheran young people that are of league age will become affiliated with a Luther League in their own home church, or if not con venient to be there, somewhere else will be all right. Boys and girls we need you to help carry on the vast work of the church, and you need the church. So let us have you. The State Convention will be held here in Newberry next summer at the Luth eran church of the Redeemer, and it is hoped that we will have an excel lent record in every way. Always remember our slogan: Of the Church —By The Church—For The Church. Pearle Hamm, Dist. Pres. TRANWOOD CLUB MEETS WITH MRS. D. B. SEASE H-D COLUMN By ETHEL L. COUNTS Optimism Talk happiness—the world is sad enough Without your woes. No path is wholly rough; Look for the places that are smooth and clear, And speak of those, to rest the weary ear Of earth, so hurt by one continuous strain Of human discontent and grief and pain. Talk faith — the world is better off without Your uttered ignorance and mothid doubt. If you have faith in God, or man, or self Say so; if not, push Back upon the shelf Of silence, all your thoughts, till faith shall come; No one will grieve because your lips are dumb. Talk health—the dreary, never chang ing tale Of mortals maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please By harping on that minor chord, di sease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. How To Read A great amount of reading does not always mean a great amount of learn ing. Many times the reading ia too rapid and the subject matter being read is not absorbed and digested. Martin Luther said, “the read-rrof too many books prodvceth confusion rather than learning”. Carlyle said. “Learn to discriminate in your read ing 1 —to read faithfully." A valuable method of reading is by subjects. Learn what the different writers have thought about the sub ject you are interested in—for exam ple a country woman became so ab sorbed with her chickens, garden and other work, that she did not read at all. All at once she discovered as she said herself, “that she was becoming fuzzy minded”. In other words she had lost interest except “wifchlir the four walls of her home" a thing that none of us can afford to do. She be gan 'to study history, reading a little each day. She has continued this now for several years and ha* not only gained a vast amount of know ledge but an immeasurable amount of pleasure as well. Different people have different interests, but we should all do some careful, systematic read ing. It is often worth while to re read books. Some of our greatest literary men tell us this is the most valuable method of reading. The rural people of our country have wonderful opportunity to im prove themselves by reading, ^ooks are brought to the various communi ties by the Traveling Library and if we wish this service continued we should take advantage of this oppor tunity. UNDERGOES OPERATION The many friends of Little Eugene Marlowe, 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Marlowe, will be glad to learn that he is improving after un dergoing an appendix operation in the Newberry county hospital last week-end. Tranwood club met in the home of Mrs. D. B. Sease on Odtober 9. Her associate hostesses were Mrs. J. W. Abrams and Mrs. R. G. McGill. Mrs. J. W. Abrams led devotional, using Matt. 14 and led in prayer. The President had a very interest ing program on South Carolina. Some very interesting facts about the state are: South Carolina was the eighth * state to come into the union. It was admitted May 23, 1788. This is something that every South Caro linian should know. “The Palmetto State” is the nick name. It is also known as “The Won derful Iodine State” because of the iodine in its milk, fruits, and vege tables. Because of this South Caro, lina should produce every vegetable possible in order to improve the health of our citizens. The Palmetto has been officially adopted as the State tree, and the Carolina Jessamine was officially adopted by the General Assembly, February 1, 1942. The Sou/th Carolina flag was de signed by Col. William Moultrie in 1775 and was adopted, with the addi tion of the Palmetto tree, as the State flag in 1777. The background is a beautiful blue with a crescent and a palmetto tree on it. In 1775 Col. Moultrie was de fending a fort on an island near Charleston and his men wore blue uniforms with silver crescents dec orating their blue caps. His design for the flag was a compliment to them. Next year, 1776, the British at tacked the fort, Which was made of soft palmetto logs, on Sullivans Is land. The cannon shots sank into the soft logs and were stopped. This kept the enemy from taking the fort, and the picture of the Palmetto tree was added to that of the crescent on the flag.
