Another novelty IN n season that bids
fair to nc rcplcte with novelties is the
announcement of Miss Christine Lums-
don's Conversations in n studio AZ so
much per" which will occur on Tues
days beginning on November 10. The
following topics have been chosen for
the six conversations: art and Art
Expression" "The Secrets OF Art"
Stimulating n Love for Art" Truth in
Painting" Ten Living American Art
lists" and "Whistler's Valentine" The
NTH Of these conversations ought TO be
especially interesting. Miss Lumsdon
should have the ten living artists pres

it WAS perhaps the very greatest mo-
mcnt for etching. one could have cX-

ut appears from this that while there
have been TWO periods. one about 1925
to 1850. and another from 1850 to 1875,
that were far stronger than the present
day in etching, there have been many
other periods, two centuries in fact.

A Good Suggestion

The suggestion by one of our
fellow townsmen in last weeks
issue of Plain Talk that there be
an organized and systematic
effort to care for our poor and
destitute this winter is very timely,
a nd ought to appeal to every one
of us. Let's put money and food
and clothing in the hands of some
responsible party and draw on it
from time to time for the needy
whose cases come under our OBJ
servation. / am ready to contrib
ute my part and | think can as
sure the support of my church in
such an undertaking.

Rev. John c. Orr

Rev. John C. Orr will preach at
the Southern Methodist church
Sunday at 1O:45 a. M, and 700 p.
M, and will hold the Quarterly
conference, at the close of the
night service. At. the beginning
of the morning service at 1O:45 he
will baptise any infants who may
be present for this purpose. All
the parents who desire to have
tn cir babies baptised will please
be there on time so this can be
done at the very beginning OF the
service, thus giving them an op-
portunity to retire if they so de-
sire. At no time is one a better
subject for baptism than during
infancy, so let the parents who
have them bring the babies for
this part of the service.
We have organized a Senior
League now which will meet
every Sunday night at 600 p. M,
in the basement; all the young
people not connected with some
other society are cordially invited
to the League. There will be a
social meeting Of the League next
week; time and place to be an
nounced Sunday night.
A cordial welcome to all our
services.

Harmed S Chapel

Quite large crowd greeted the
w. H. M. S. Thursday night in the
play Home Missions by Air Ship
The object of the play was to de.
scribe the work of the Society
There are over forty Industrial
Homes for young people of the
Negro, Spanish, Indian, Chinese
Japanese, Alaskan, Porto Rican
and White races; over twenty
mission schools. Each home was
represented in the play. Besides
these homes the society maintains
eight hospitals, three national
training schools for missionaries
and deaconesses, forty-one dea-
coness institutions, eleven indus
trial buildings and kindergartens
connected with these, six orphan
ages, and many forms of mission
work maintained in mining re-
gions, among foreign people, and
in cities. So many make the mis-
take in thinking that home mis-
sionary work is just for those liv-
ing in our doors. Of course we
must begin there, but do not let
it end there, for does not every
person and every home under our
American flag belong to US, and is
considered under the Home Mis-
sipnary work. How we ought to
help both in Home and Foreign
Missionary work, for only eternity
can tell the good that the little we
give will accomplish. What a
blessing it would be if we could
only have what is spent for liquor
and tobacco, to help spread the
Gospel. Our cause would not have
to go "a begging" then. How our
churches need to be awakened
to their duties along this line.
Every church member ought to be
a member of the society, to one if
not both, and all the children to
the Children's Societies, for will
not the children of today very
soon be taking our places, and
may our Heavenly Father help us
to train them that they may fill
our places far better than we do.
| heard of preachsr once telling
the people not to give to the mis-
Sionary work, as some rich people
were only getting richer on what
we give. Now, | know it was
only through ignorance of the
work that is being carried on that
he could say such a thing, for
when you think of the homes that
must be kept up, the children
clothed and fed, we know no one
could get rich.
There has been much sickness
among the children in our COM
muuity. All are better.
Rev. E. K. Rowe filled his first
appointment at this place the 4th
Sunday; was also present at the
entertainment Thursday night, ad-
ding much by his opening prayer
and closing address.
Miss Irene Bewley will give a
reading at this place Friday night,
December 4th. We hope a large
crowd will attend,as it is not often
we have an opportunity to hear
one who is graduate in elocu-
ton and so famous for her read
ing. Admission 25 and Is cents,
Miss Bewley returns to Boston
after Christmas.

Appeal to Sunday School
Children of Newport

many people as in the State OF
Tennessee. Of these at least one
million are little boys and girls
like you. Did | say they were like
you? meant to say they were
like you before this dreadful war
began. They had pleasant homes
and kind fathers and mothers, who
worked hard to give them clothes
and food. They were happy, con-
tented, fun-loving boys and girls
like you just a few months ago.
Now, thousands and thou ,an.!s OF
them have no hing in the world
lef,; not roof over their h ads,
no money, no clothes, no i3od;
their fathers killed or fighti g in
the war, and no way to earn q NV
ing of any sort. They are s,irv-
ing and dying in the Geld OF the
winter.
Do you not feel thankful to God
for the peace and plenty and safe
ty Of your own bright homes in
Newport? Do you not feel glad
that you live in America, which
has been called the Land of JOY
full Children?" All OF you are
looking forward to a happy Christ
mas at home and in your Sunday
Schools. Your Sunday School
teachers will plan to make you
happy then, because it will be our
Lords birthday. They will, all
taken together, spend quite little
money for treats and presents
things that you could dc without
almost as well as not. You would
still be neither hungry nor cold,
and would have so many nice
things at home that you would
hardly miss the Sunday School
treat at all. Would you not like
to share it with the little children
who have nothing? They are
looking to America for help, and
the grown people are sending
ships across the ocean filled with
food and clothing. Many Sunday
School classes are helping, for the
boys and girls are anxious to do
their part. Are not the children
Of Newport just as big hearted
and generous as any in the world?
All they need is an opportunity
and someone to show the way.
One of the best ways is through
the Belgium Flour Fund, care of
the Literary Digest, New York
City. This fund will send a whole
shipload Of flour, just as soon as
It is given. One barrel of flour
will feed a family of five for two
months. What a message Of light
and love will go in each barrel!
The boys and girl, of Newport
can easily send five barrels Of
flour by sharing their Sunday
School Christmas
We make presents to our friends
upon their birthdays. Would you
not like to make a present to the
Christ child through the hungry
little war children of Belgium ?
Let each Sunday School Superin-
tendent present this thought to
the primary and junior pupils
next Sunday and see what re-
sponse they will make. 1t will re-
quire no additional demand-only
divert part of the usual Christ
mas outlay, with the consent of
the children, into channel of
blessing to those in dire need, and
we have His word that the bless
ing will return upon us like bread
cast upon the water.
Parents, please read this letter
to your children. Let them make
a free will offering, and have a
real part in the blessedness Of
Christmas giving.
The relief committees guaran-
tee that 100 per cent. of food sup.
plies reach Belgium. There will
be no transportation charges from
New York. Flour is rated at Sc
IzI.o.
