TRINITY PARISH NOTES..
HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.

A beautiful and ideal September
evening assisted in making the Har-
vest Home festival at Trinity church,
Sunday night, a success. The attend
ance was excellent, the singing by the
children's choir inspiring, while the
sermon by Rev o. o. Wright on the
theme, "In Garden" was exceeding
ly appropriate, and was enjoyed by
everyone present. The service Of
prayer was conducted by the rector,
Rev J. H. George, while Rev Mr.
Wright read the lessons of the even
ing. The altar was decorated with
bouquets Of dahlias and asters, while
the fruits of the field and orchard
made beautiful the chancel. Rector
Wright chose his text from the Song
of Solomon 6:2. The Song OF Songs is
a poem or collection Of poems. 1t is
one of the most spiritual books OF the
Bible. Solomon was not only an ex-
ceedingly wise man but man of many
gifts. He was naturalist as we'll as
poet. A lover of nature, he spoke of
the trees, the brooks, the fishes and
the beasts of the field. The Song of
Songs is love song, but it honors the
Creator. 1t expresses the love of the
bride for the bridegroom in the most
beautiful Oriental figures. The love
OF God is the source of all lofty aspira-
tions. All life is sacred and deeply
significant. 1t is not SO much what
we are as what we shall be in the great
eternal future. This is the seed time
of the Lite Eternal. What we put
into this life we shall reap in the spir-
itual harvest. The natural is a type
of the supernatural. This is a school
of experience in which we must learn
patience. Here on the earth we are
to grow into the likeness of Our Living
Head. The goal of human life is char.
acter. This life is the seed time Of
principles. We are planted in a gar.
den. 1t is a garden of beauty as well
as a garden of penalty. A garden OF
refreshment and garden of sell
denial. The garden of God Is wherever
we may be, provided we walk humbly
in the spirit of God.

SOUTH STANDS IN
DAWN Of NEW ERA.
So Declares DIR. Mitchell in A'd-
dress Before Fulton School
Patrons.
ELEMENT OF PERSONALITY
The Speaker Discusses Its Rela-
ton, in Various Ways, TO
Modern Life.

DR. s. C. Mitchell. of Richmond Col
lope. delivered last night in the Fulton
gaptjst Church very interesting ana
thoughtful address on THE Element OF
Personality in Modern Life. The lecture
was delivered before the public patrons
OF El,lton as a means OF enliyenins the
already awakened interest in school mat
,e,s In that vicinity. There was a fairly
largo attendance. with liberal sprinkling
of the younger folks seated beside their
parents.
In very forcible manner and with
,n,,oh earnestncss, both in thought and
gesture. the speaker held the undivided
attention of his audience for over an
hour. He divided his arument under five
heads first with reference to the IN
dustrial world: secondly. with reference
10 the war; thirdly, with reference TO
politics. fourthly, with reference TO eau
cation and filthy and lastly with refer
ence to religion. All these sub-heads
were treated in detail, the speaker adj
uancing facts almost indisputable to
show the correctness of his line OF
thought He showed how in the indus
trial world this age of machinery tends
10 dwarf personality and TO make man
1 mere machine. In talking of education
Nc smoke of the necessity OF bringing
she boy and girl to the consciousness
where the purposes of life assert them
,elves and where they discover that the
things without are plastic to this inner
rurposc, Just as the child in the kinder
sarten molds the putty to its fancy.
Much depends on the teacher, who must
seek to draw out the child's personality,
for through personality the results of
life are to be achieved.
In religion lie showed how Jesus pos
sessed the faculty of drawing out and
fostering individual personality, and how
He always believed In the goodness innate
liz every human heart. And In His con-
versational preaching-the best that the
world has ever known-how He drew
near to every man and woman with whom
He came in contact, thus developing in
dividuality In ALL The speaker spoke
ual. for his having an eternal faith in all
humanity and by reason of this attitude
toward men and women, which He every
where displayed.
In conclusion, DIR, Mitchell congratu-
lated the children that they We're stand
Ing in the dawn of a new era, when the
South is Awakening to her resources and
10 her feeds. lie believed that in the
next few decades Richmond would be-
ZONE the educational center OF the South.
For all the sorrows and trials endured
in the past. the South is receiving her
compensation to-day In the enriched man
hood of her sons and in the increased
thrift, intelligence and virtue of her
ueoples
