OLDEST SUNDAY SCHOOL

First Sunday School of North Caro-
lima Conference Organized at Oil
ct, Robson County, in 1917
(From "Historical Sketch of Sum-
day School work of N. C. Conference"
by M. ". Brabham in Raleigh Chris
tan Advocate)
The oldest school in our conference
which l have been able to find au-
thentlc record Of was on the old Bla-
den circuit, which in 1917 extended
from the Little Pee Dee river on
the south and west, to the Cape Fear
river on the north and embraced all
OF Horny and part of Marion coun-
ties in South Carolina, all of Robe
SON, Columbus, Brunswick. Bladen
and part of Cumberland counties in
North Carolina. Rev. John Oliver
was a local preacher for more than
slxty-seven years. While a young
men he moved from Moore county
into the lower end of Robson coun-
ty, living near the present town Of
Marietta. In his "Scraps of His
tory" he gives the following facts:
"The old church known as Grantham's
was organized in 1900. In 1917 they
built another small log meeting house
which was situate HARDLY the resi-
dence of my father. This was call
ed Grantham's new church. Here
they had a better day and a more
prosperous season. They prospered
so greatly here that they soon or
ganized Sunday school. This was
the first Sabbath school ever organ
lied in the community and primary
spelling books were used exclusively
by the children"

ed in His Honor
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Red Springs, Jan. 19-Lee-Jackson
day was observed with appropriate
ceremonies in the auditorium of
Flora Macdonald college, under the
direction of the Red Springs ladies'
chapter, the junior reserves and the
Major Vardell chapter, U. D. c. The
program opened with "My Country
IT'S of Thee, and Rev. Mr.. Park
er, pastor of the Methodist church,
offered the invocation. The college
orchestra effectively rendered "Poet
and Peasant" and Miss Bean read
"Lee to the Rear" with great beauty
of expression. The Old North State
was then sung and Major George H.
Hall introduced the orator of the
day, Rev. H. M. Dixon, who paid
tribute to General Lee as citizen and
soldier.
"Sleep, Noble Hearts" was given
with delightful sympathy by a sex
tette from the college chapter.
One of the most interesting num-
bers on the program was the pre-
sentative of copy of the photograph
and papers of Major W. G. Vardell,
to the chapter named in his honor
uniform of the beloved Confederate
gray and the papers include his COM
missions as captain and major and a
letter of thanks for $50 pounds of
lead which he sent to the arsenal at
Charleston, the lead having been TAX
en- from the window weights in his
home. The picture and papers were
arranged and photographed by Mr..
Allen Vardell of Dallas, Texas, and
by him presented, through DIR. c. G.
Vardell, to the chapter in Flora Mac
donald college. The chapter presi-
dent, Miss Louise Williams, in ac-
cepting the graceful gift, very beau
tifully said: "On behalf of the Ma
jor Vardell chapter. I accept the
portrait and credentials of the
worthy major for whom our chap
ter is named. We, the present mem
bers, in anticipation of the future
members. wish to express to you our
appreciation and the honor we feel
III the recipients of this gift. The
gift is especially endeared to us,
coming as it does from the hands of
the majors son, who has stood for
so many years at the head of our
college, faithfully serving as did his
father who wore the gray.
"May this noble countenance, these
records of merit, inspire us to be
more loyal, more faithful, more de-
pendable. May they increase the
gratitude which we owe to the men
who wore the gray"

Forward Movement of the Alumnae
of Greensboro College for Women

Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
The alumnae of Greensboro college
have given fresh proof of their love
for their alma mater in a progress
sive and practical way. At meet
ing last week of the executive COM
mittee of the State organization
steps were taken toward q definite
enlargement Of their work. Among
other things decided upon, local alum
nae associations are to be organiz-
ed wherever alumnae are found.
This will make it possible for every
old student to be member of some
local association. Miss Lucy Belle
Totten of the class of 1915 was ap-
pointed Official secretary and will
carry out the plans of the alumnae
throughout the State. While in her
senior year Miss Totten, as president
Of the student association of Green's
boro college, was conspicuous for 10y
atty and high purpose as a student
and showed qualities of leadership
her new work will doubt
less call into full play. She is
daughter of Rev. W. T. Totten of
Yadkin College and taught with her
father last year.
