REV. DIR. BROWN MOVES
CONGREGATION TO TEARS

The auditorium of the Grace
Methodist church was filed to over
flowing at the final meeting of the
convention on Sunday evening and
the large annex was throw open and
nearly filled with those who arrived
late. The service was very impress
sve and the sermon "The Supreme
Need by Rev. William A. Brown of
CHICAGO, was a fttino ending of a
most beneficial session Mr.. Brown
made stirring appeal for larger
Christian work moving his audience
to tears at parts of his sermon and
to spaSms Of laughter at some of his
stories.
Rev Mr. Brown spoke on the sub
ject "The Supreme Need" He said
the supreme need of the world was to
become a brotherhood instead of a
neighborhood. He said there were
too many spite fences in the com
munity, in the country and in the
world. He said the world was work
ing for reconstruction while what it
needed was reconciliation.
He said that religion was not en-
tirely a matter Of education. He said
the members of the Tennessee Legis-
lature who took 81 600 brides could
read and write. Jackson, Williams,
Felsch and others of the White Sox
baseball team could read and write
but this did not save them from sell
ing out to the gamblers in the scandal
which had so injured the hearts of
the youngsters who so loved the |
great American game of baseball. |
There is something missino in our
ives when conditions like these arise.
1t is the supreme need to meet and |
overcome such conditions.
We are fast becoming known as the |
nation of Big Talk and Little Deeds
This condition worries me a lot. A |
great newspaper published an edito-
'ial on religion for the father and the |
mother. 1t was copied throughout |
he land and was used at one time or
mother from nearly every pulpit But

| er only when we begin with the child
and in scientific, systematic way
provide for the gradual development
! in his life of the Christian principle
Of life.
How well we are prepared to do
this is revealed in part by the surveys.
To succeed in the future means that
% we must provide a program that
will reach all those who are not now
receiving religious instruction instead
of the present proportion of out of
10 children: (2) We must provide for
more time than is now being given to
religious education; ca Closer sup
ervision and better training must be
had for our teachers;( az Enriched
courses of study must be secured;
and (5) more generous financial sup
port must be secured
It should be burned into the hearts
Of our people that the church which
does not reach children cannot save
the world.
Grace Methodist church was well
filled at the SUNDAY afternoon service
which opened with devotional and
singing exercise, led by Rev. E. NJ.
Fuller of North Stratford Rev
A. s. Woodwork followed in leading
in the singing of one hymn, after
which President Glynn presented
Prof. Locker who gave the address Of
the afternoon, followed by questions
and answers.
Prof. Locker said Christ taught
folks while too many teachers have
been teaching the Bible rather than
teaching the folks in his class. A
Sunday School teacher should have a
keen conception of the purpose of the
church school If Dr. Bushnell is
right that one-half of all YOU can DO
for the religious nature of the child
must be done before he is three years
old, what is the church and the home

DR.. ALLEN new
REDCROSS CHIEF
Sumter County Chapter
Recognized = New
Work Planned.

DIR. H. B. Allen was chosen chair
man for the Sumter County Red
Cross chapter, succeeding Stephen
Pace, who has held the Craftsmanship
for some time, at a reorganization
meeting Tuesday in the Red Cross
headquarters in the Federal build
ing, at which the annual election
of officers took place.
The meeting was held with Miss
Lucy j. Chamberlain, field repre-
sentative and supervisor of Red
Cross work in Georgia, present
Miss Chamberlain came to Americas
for the purpose of infusing new life
into the local chapter, and this was
done by her able handling of the
topics in hand. She gave her audi
ence the benefit of her long and va
ried experience and observations
cleaned throughout her work over
the state, and many helpful sugges-
tons were passed on to the chapter
here. Miss Ruth Clark, chairman
of the home service division of the
chapter, has done a remarkable
work since taking charge a year
ago, and many people have been
reached through her instrumental
ity. She has been in close personal
touch with the soldiers at Souther
Field and the ex-soldiers who have
returned to their homes in the city
and county, and these have felt the
supervision of the Red Cross or
ganization in material manner.
1t was suggested at the reorgan-
ization meeting yesterday that Miss
Clark give out reports of the work
done by the chapter, these state
ments to be given to the public at
stated intervals so that it may be-
come acquainted with the accomp-
lishments of the chapter in the city.
New Work Planned.
In the election of officers Miss
Chamberlain was of great assistance
in arranging attractive details for
the children and grown people. I'm
der direction of the new chairman
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-10-13

an extensive health campaign is
planned to be conducted in connec-
ton with school work with the aid
of the county health officer and the
local school authorities.
Representative from John d.
Mathis Post, American Legion, were
present to discuss plans for coop
Grafton between the Red Cross and
the legion in the continuance of
work for the disabled ex-service
men. This will prove of exceptional
benefit to the local chapter in keep
ing IN constant touch with return
ing ex-soldiers.
The personnel of the chapter OF
ficers is as follows: DIR. H. B. Allen,
chairman; Rev. Silas Johnson, vice
chairman; E. B. Everette, treasurer
Miss Ruth Clark, executive secre-
tary; Mrs. r. c. Moran, publicity
chairman; Mrs. w. L. Thomas, chair
man branch chapter, Plains; Mrs
Frank Wilson, Jr., chairman branch
chapter, Leslie, and G. C. Thomas,
chairman branch chapter, Cobb. I'm
der the leadership of these officers
it is hoped that many new members
will be secured for the organiza-
ton and work will forge ahead in
the future.
Plans for the fourth annual roll
call were begun and announcement
OF roll call officers will be made pub
lie at an early date.
School Health Crusade.
Another movement in connection
with Red Cross work is the organi-
cation of movement to enlist the
children o fthe city and rural
schools in a health crusade. Merit
badges will be given the students of
the schools who study closely the
methods of modern hygiene as out
lined by the literature to be sent
from headquarters. Mrs. Olin Viii
liams and Miss Clark will sponsor
this movement, Mrs. Williams to
take it into the rural school, with
Miss Clark supervising the work in
the city. Badges of merit will be Civ
en- out to the children who adopt
a perfect cleanliness of person,
such as constant care of the teeth
and gums, with a corresponding
scrupulousness in regard to nails
and body. DIR. B. F. Bond, in
charge of the health department of
the city, will give talks from time
to time concerning the new meth
DDS of hygiene, these talks being OF
the most utmost simplicity so that
an accurate comprehension of the
methods may be instantly under
stood. He is sponsor for this move
ment, giving as his potent reason
that children learning early in life
the best precautions against dis
eases can better grasp the conditions

beautiful statue acts depicting scenes
from the great war, dainty eques-

feats upon the bare backs of dappled
horses with as much easenand grace
as though it were quite the easiest
thing in the world, instead of the
most daring Miss Glynn and Dem6tt,
two beautiful young ladies, gave
some wonderful exhibitions of horse
manship, and the applause that met
their efforts were sincere and thun-
derous.

of health later in life. DR.. Bond
assures the chaptersthat where these
methods have been used in the
schools, the spread of diseases has
been diminished. Posters will be
placed in public places, and the chill
dren furnished with pamphlets from
the national Red Cross. The course
will cover a period of thirty weeks,
certain amount of work being
scheduled for each week. Prof. C.
M. Hale, Prof. J. E. Mathis and
Supt. E. J. McMath have given their
hearty cooperation to the move
ment, and this will be taken into the
schools at nearly date
Another feature of the movement
will be the Inauguration of classes
of women for a health crusade. This
course will be in the nature of a
nursing course, and will assist the
mothers in the homes to grapple
with conditions of illness in the
home, especially in rural homes
where physician may not be read
lily had under urgency. 1t is hoped
that many names will be enrolled
in this movement, and that home
nursing will become an established
factor in every home in the city and
rural districts. Miss Chamberlain
hopes to return to Americas from
time to time to give talks along this
home nursing line.
