composed of women who think ,/or
themselves, and have a vision of
_ the future: women who have dropped
petty jealousies. Self aggrandizement,
and even personal opinions have been
Bubmeiged in the surge to solve the
great piubleins that confront us; wo
men who arer wilting to lift as they
climb the ladder of morality and intelligence.
Like the ancient Greeks
and Romans, than whom^no, greater
defined people lived, who had written
over the threshold of their doors the
word welcome, so South Carolina lias
written across every entrance into
the state the word Welcome, Welcome

PLACES OF INTEREST HERE
AND THERE IN AND
-AROUND COLUMBIA -
* (By I. M. A. Myers)
By June 30th more-than one thousand
visiting men arid women of he
A. M. E. Churches in the Southern
States will be fn Columbia for the
meeting of the Quadrennial session
of the Woman's Home and Foreign
Missionary Society. With the large
number of people from over the
State coming to the meeting it is estimated
that fully 2,000 out-of-city
people will be in Columbia for at
least eight days.
The Quadrennial session of the
,W. H. and F. M. S. is a gathering of
unusual interest. The task of giving
these church workers a splendid
entertainment devolves^r,upon_a_
few who represent the executive places
in tills Stnto onrl
among the responsible heads come
Mrs. R. C. Channelle, Mrs. S. G. Simmons
and Mrs. E. A. Adams who
heads the placement committee in Columbia.
All of these ladic* have had,
distinguished minisleiial connections
and have been in a position to get fine
tfflininpr in wnrV They knOW
what to do when it comes to directing
the work for the general entertainment
of the many delegate^
hrrp a .fpw weeks hence.lake
Murray
Among the many places of interest
in and around Columbia is Lake Murray
.near "Irmo. This is said to be the
largest artificial lake in the world except,
the Panama Canal. It will be
educative for the delegates interestt"i
in tli- nf the
iTnitpti iin jrrnnral firl Fftiif1
Carolina in particular to see and stu-.
dy Lake Murray.* The officials, of the
Broad River Power Company would
be only too glad to furnish the local
committee booklets giving detailed
information about Lake Murray.
THE COLLEGES
Allen University and Benedict College
will furnish auditorium space
for many of the assemblies of the
Quadrennial meetings. It is .true
that people- may assemble in the auditoriums
of these two great -colleges
and yet "hot see" them. Knowing
President Sims and President Starks
a? do thpre is no need of expecting
anything else but thAt llm I'ul
leges will be not only shown in an
impressive way but facts about the
schools will be passed around. Then,
too, State College?the pride "of the
Negroes of South Carolina?is qnly an
hour and fifteen minutes ride in a
good car. The sight-seeing commit-,
tee may find it a pleasure to take a
party to see State College any morning
before breakfast. It is a glorious
place to behold and most especially
around seven in the morning
when the lawns are sparkling with
dew and the flower gardens make pictures
in one's eyes because of their
beauty and colorful background.
Claflin College is doing; splendid
work under the direction of-"President
I J. B. Randolph.?The school iq locnt.
ed next to State College. It has a
rwost beautiful campuj, manj^ hand smw
-buildings?and .an imposing
view. Visitor^ would enjoy a trip
to this historic school, one of the oldest
and best known institutions of
learning among our people in the
South.
Harbison College near Irmo is one
of the mo/t attractive places near
Columbia. Its location is ideal and
a campus ~ with?fretrnt if til-shrubbery
and trees of different kinds are plentiful.?Pracidfrit
