only a few alterations. But the moth
en- Of the home sickened and died,
and strange hands, amidst the confu-
sion, have act been able to find them.
One Of the needs of the home men
toned by the visiting friends is
wash pans or basins. The children
use the Iavatories. and do not need
the wash pans. The great need at
present is helm. The executive board
said "Hire the washing" This was
done until cotton picking time, and
since then the children have been do
ing the washing for the same reason
that many of the white people in Gov
ington are doing their washing.
"Help" has been the cry from the
orphanage. 1t is the same cry that
has been coming from the lips of the
farmers, merchant, housewife and
others. The trouble with the cry
from the orphanage is that il has not
had even as much response as some
of the others have had. We saw
the needs of these sick children and
sought help. The Covington Red
OIUSS gave JHclI 5elNlGS9 III aGNu+
inc help.
What / want OF say is, the orphan
age is in trouble now, not because
of a lack of support by the church or
a lack 0 interest in those who have
given Il il services directly, but
because sickness and a lack of
help.
Some of those who have observed
conditions seem to forget that these
are unusual times when it comes to
securing help, and that the cry for
man-power and woman-power has
been louder than the cry for money.
Now, the real way to help is to offer
your services, Do hear anyone say
they win go? W. G. KERR.

ALMYRA GLEANINGs

There are still a few cases of sick
ness in the Dunlap Orphanage; and
some Of them are very sick Mrs.
Sweeney, the trained nurse, has been
there two weeks last Monday, and it
has been two weeks of most faith
fin service. Besides nursing the
sick, she has filled well the position
Of matron of the home, carefully
looking after all its interests in and
about the house. Miss Rubye Moi
fatt was faithful helper until the
latter part Of last week, and the
Red Cross Of Covington sent Miss
Ruby Bringle to take Miss Moffatt's
place in looking after the culinary
department Of the home.
Mrs. Estes Williams, of the Almvra
neighborhood, was very sick the lat
ter part of last week, but seems to
be improving now.
Miss Matte v, Kelley, of Almyra,
has had protracted spell of the
"flu" the past two weeks, but is inn
proving now.
Robert Thomas, a prominent color
ed farmer of the Almyra neighbor-
hood, died last Monday about 5 am.
He had a stroke of paralysis on the
previous "Wednesday evening, which
caused his death. His remains were
Inferred in a colored cemetery near
Arlington Wednesday about noon.
Thomas started out in early life as
a school teacher, but soon turned
his attention to farming, and was a
successful farmer. At the time of
his death he was one of the wealth
lest colored men in the 9Th district,
owning nearly 800 acres Of good
farm land.
On last Thursday and Friday Rev.
l. S. Caldwell, pastor of Salem A.

needs. have been observed. These
I friends who nave visited the home
have published abroad its needs upsn
their return. It is because these
needs, and these seeming needs, are
4 before the minds of the people Of
Covington and Upton county, that !
write, And what | shall have to
say will be more in the nature of
an explanation.
\ For seven months it was my priv
/ ilege to serve the Sharon congre-
/ CATION, which is known in the Asso-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian Synod
as our "Orphanage Church" Soon
after taking up the work there, the
4 superintendent and matron of the
| orphanage resigned. The orphanage
board, being unable to secure a SUI
perntendent. asked me TO act in
/ that capacity temporarily This
attempted to do. Living in the manse
which is near by, we were able to
make frequent visits to the home.
During the summer | was offered
the pastorate of the Covington
church Upon accepting this call, we
planned to move the first of October,
but postponed our moving because
the superintendent and matron who
had been elected a short time before,
were providentially detained in COM
ing. But near the last Of October
Rev J NJ White, who had succeed
ed me in the church work, offered to
help care for the orphanage, and we
moved to Covington
A few days after moving we learn
ed that influenza he'd made it's APP
pearance in the orphanage. We made
visit and saw the situation. A
number of the ,dren were in bed
and the matron sick, and the home
which Mrs. Wellons and Miss Miller
were able to keep in fair condition
while all were well, was beginning
to show signs of neglect as any
home will do when the children and
mother are sick and help scarce. We
sought, through the Covington Red
Cross, the help Of some trained nurs-
es. This we did, not for financial
aid, but because we Knew the Red
Cross was IN more direct touch With
the nurses and could come nearer Sc
curing their services.
The A. R. Presbyterian church sup
ports the institution we'll She con-
tributes more than $4,000 annually

dies of clothing, new and old quilts,
bed linen and other articles from the
churches over the south. Mrs Well
Ions, a Southern Presbyterian, who
was reared in refinement, often said,
"The church certainly remembers her
orphans home" The need of cloth
ing, to a large extent, is only seem
ing. Mrs. Wellons spent several days
folding and laying away clothing for
the winter. There are two rooms full
Of clothing. Much Of the clothing is
ready now, and other articles need

AN EXPLANATION in REGARD

gone have not only showa their in

taken with them MANY things that
were used for the comfort and re-
lief Of the sick children. A great
number Of the Coyington people have
given to these orphan children dur
ing their sickness. For these express
sions Of interest the children in the
home are grateful, and, | am sure,
the entire membership Of the A. R.
Presbyterian church are grateful.
