W. q. .G.U.C Column
{Continued from last week.) FIGHTING FOR "DE GANG" !"
Edited by Mrs SturdIvan

dedConeSS asked the next week. In spite of her multitude of other duties she had determined to take the Pug Alley gang into her own particular charge. Guided by her tactful suggestions, the boys took violently to the plan. Their attempt at organization was d study in boy psychology that went lar to compensate the dea- coness for her extra burden. They made rules, of course, which were written with many flourishes and unconscious den- onstratlons of the simplitied spell ing by the blissfully important little secretary. "He, he," gig gled that youngster, looking fur lively about as he transcribed the d1ctum. Any member of this club must not steel. ssIIe, he, bet there ain't guy here dat don't snitch t'ings.'
 There was a rule against swear ing too, and getting drunk. The deaeoness wondered If they would think Of tabooing eigarets, but that was too much to expect the first meeting. Indeed, she had reason to be suspicious many times that winter that none of the rules were expected to be kept outside of the club room and her own presence. But keeping them there was something, and she never allowed herself to be discouraged by their lapses out side.
 The name of the club was a difficult problem. No one seem ed 10 have an idea what to sug- gest till Oscar Lagoni, who had heard of the girls .Pansy Club, y suddenly shot to his feet and proposed, "Mistah President an fellers, l move we call dis club de Rosebud"
 The motion was about to carry unanimously when the deacon ess, with all eye to avert future guying on the part of the cruel world, asked why they didn't call themselves after some great hero.
 "Aw, Roosevelt's de guy" shouted one, and all the others chorused, "Roosevelt's de guy, till the Rosebuds were luckily forgotten.
 It vas a life the Roosevelt Club led the head deaconess that winter. It came to be proverb about the Settlement that If any thing went wrong 1t was the fault of the Roosevelt Club. Tuesday nights were toe far apart, and the boys fell into the habit of coming in every day and at any hour of the day. They sprawled about on the floor play ing checkers or reading the books that always lay conveniently about. Some of them would sit and talk to anyone who would listen, or watch the stream of visitors come and go, sure to see some delicious piece of mischief before they left with which to re- gale themselves and torment their long suffering hosts.
 No boy was sent away, how ever, unless he was unbearably bad, and that was not often. Imperceptibly at first, and then quite perceptibly, these street lads began to echo the manners and speech of the men and wo. men they met at the Settlement. The doctor gathered them al into his Sunday School class Several ot them were thrifty and put daily or weekly sums into the Penny Savings Bank. Before spring nearly everyone of then had been enrolled in the Anti. Clgaret League. During the evangelistic meetings held by the pastor of the Settlement

CHURCH TROUBLES GET into COURT
One of Oldest Churches in This Section Torn by Dissenson
Each Faction Has Turned the Other Out

held that the church is above all in
situations of men.
About twelve or fifteen years ago
there arose a restless spirit in the
church among some younger preach
ers, who seemed to want to improve
and make the old church more at
tractlVe, and who set about to change
certain custOms-small ones at first,
but as they got an opening for one
they would slip in two. The 0ld-line
Baptists were opposed all the time
to the innovations, but put up with
them for sometime.
Some of the things that were
brought in were alien baptism, or
gans, and the assessment of so much
upon each member, and all of them
advocated prOtracted meetings. One
elder said that it would be all right
for a preacher to preach his sermon
into photograph and send it to the
church to deliver it for him. Some
few years back the Baptists began
to divide on these things, and the
division has now spread all over
Georgia, especially where these
things have been advocated.
"Our section was about the last
to divide at the church. There
was one element in favor of fellow
Shipping the advocates of these pro-
gressive Baptists, and the old-line
Baptists had to choose one of two
things-be dropped from the fellow
ship of all old Baptists or cut loose
from the new element at home
There has been an effort made to
create the impression that the divis-
ion is a local trouble, but that it
not true"
An Old Church.
Chickasawhatchee Primitive Bap-
fist church is one of the oldest
churches in this section, and the
news that dissensions OF such char
acter have arisen that the courts
have been called upon to adjust the
trouble will be learned with regret
everywhere. Only last September
the church celebrated with interest
ing and impressive services the
fiftieth anniversary Of it's organiza-
ton.
The friends of the church (Which
means everybody in this section)
and Of the good people who COM
pose its membership hope the differ
ences may be amicably adjusted and
harmony restored.
