Making Plans For
A Great Revival

The Rev. Jesse D. Franks and his
parishioners are making plans for a
great revival Of religion at the First
Baptist Church of Columbus. The
services will begin on Sunday, Decem-
ber 4th, and will continue for an in
definite period.
The preaching will be done by the
pastor, who will have the assistance
of Prof. Charles H. Butler, Of Louis
vile, KY, singing evangelist of the
Southern Baptist Association, one of
the foremost singers of religious
songs in the South
The Rev. Mr.. Franks is not posses
sed of an ambition to "get up an ex-
citement" in his church. His method
of evangelization is to present the
Gospel of Salvation in an earnest,
logical, straightforward, understand
able way, in which the heart, the soul.
the intellect ard the calm reasoning
faculties of the hearer may see the
right course to pursue in the aeeep-
tance Of the Plan of Salvation. Those
Of our people who have heard sermons
from the Rev. Mr. Franks know that
he knows the value of an immor-
tai soul. and that he wants all men
saved. Not only the members Of the
First Baptist Church. but Columbus
people Of all churches will unite IN
the hope that the forthcoming revival
will prove to be a great blessing to
the community.

More HOnOrS For The
Columbus Creamery

The excellence that follows great
labor, and the honors that grayitate
in the direction of the deserving, are
coming at regular intervals these days
to the Columbus Ice Cream & Cream
cry Co., the greatest butter producing
institution south of the Mason &
Dixon line.
A few weeks ago, at the Mississippi
Alabama Fair at Meridian, the Col
umbus Ice Cream & Creamery Com
pany won first prize on its exhibition
of butter prints. The contestants at
that time were from the two states
only, Mississippi and Alabama.
The past week, at the Southeastern
Fair held in Atlanta, Ga, there were
exhibits of butter from twenty-seven
states of the federal union. Many
prizes were offered. and Of these the
Columbus Ice Cream & Creamery
Company received three.
The Dispatch extends hearty con-
gratulations to Mr.. D. S. Cox, Sr.,
and his son on their success. The
winning Of prizes speaks well for
them as butter-makers, and it also
speaks well for those Of our citizens
who furnish cream to the creamery.
II shows that they have selected good
cows and know how to handle the
animals.

Memphis Lady Makes Substantial
Gift To w. S. c. W. To Establish
The Professorship of MOthercraft
Department Charge Professor Martha Oliver EcfOd Who
Has Peen Especially Trained For The Work at Col
umbia University and Johns Hopkins.

Ifession of parenthood was overlooked
The Mothereraft movement seeks to
reciify that oversight, and to train
girls for the full duties and respons-
Utilities Of motherhood. The course
at M. S. c. w. is designed to give
specific training to girls in the care
of the infant, the young child, the
child of school years, either as ''little
mothers" to their younger brothers
and sisters at home, or as the actual
mothers of a few years hence. The
physiology and hygiene of childbirth
will also be taught, to the end that
the frightful mortality of mothers
and babies may be reduced. Students
will also be trained in methods of in
structing high school girls 50 that
eventually they might receive the
same knowledge. This is felt to be
imperative, as the great majority Of
high school girl graduates never en-
ter college, and it therefore becomes
necessary to take the training to them
in the high schools.
Professor Martha Oliver Eckford,
who will teach the course during the
present session is thoroughly and
specifically qualified to do so. She
has had course in Child Hygiene at
Columbia University and at Johns
Hopkins. In addition, she studied dur
ing the past summer the work in the
clinics of Louisville, KY, and the or
ganization of the Bureau of Child
Welfare of the Kentucky State Board
of Health.

The Mothercraft movement, which
started in London few years ago,
has met with considerable response
in this country, Boston being the first
to adopt the idea as a part of it's
educational scheme, and other cities
and institutions of learning followed
its lead. The idea is now we'll ac-
climated, and courses in Mothercraft
are being rapidly introduced into the
schools and colleges throughout the
country. The introduction of the
course at M. S. C. W. is in line, there
fore, with concerted movement in
educational circles and Mrs. Marshall
is being congratulated upon her
splendid foresight and generosity in
fostering the course. The college
authorities are greatly indebted to
her.

INCIDENTS RELATED OF
DAYS THAT ARE PAST
AND GONE
WORK FOR NEGROES
In Ante BeIlum Period Highly
Appreciated And Productive
Of Great Good Among
The Black People.

The historical service at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
ON Wednesday night proved to be in
teresting and enlightening. Facts
were brought out that to many Of
those present were unknown; or, II
known, had been forgotten.
The service had chiefly to do with
the attitude of the white people of the
South, in the days before the war,
with reference to the training and in
struction Of the black folks along
religious lines.
The generation coming upon the
stage of activity since Appomattox
learned that, while using the slaves
for profit, the slave-ow owners did not
neglect the spiritual side of the
slaves development, but contributed
in all ways to the black mans crav-
ing for the good which comes from a
knowledge of God. 1t developed that
in many homes family altars were
maintained and that the negro house
servants were invited to seats with
the families during the private house
hold devotions. The Christian in
fluence thus started would spread to
other negroes and an untold amount
of good resulted.
The service was opened with a song;
then the Rev. Thos. H. Lipscomb Of
fered prayer. He then spoke briefly
of his own treatment of the negro,
and of how his father and mother
taught the Bible to negroes and pray
ed with them when he was a boy. He
said that to this day, when the hour
comes for family worship, he calls
the negro house servants into the
room in order that they may receive
a part of the benefits that come from
private family worship.
1.-The negro" said he, appreciate
religious teaching 1t makes them
not only better people, but it makes
them better servants"
The Rev. Mr.. Lipscomb stated that
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, had done and is doing a great
work on behalf Of the moral, intel
lectual and spiritual uplift Of the
black race. They have established two
schools for their training and develop
ment. one in Tennessee and one in
Georgia. The Southern Methodist
Church also organized a conference
for negro Methodists, known as the
Colored Methodist Conference. "But,"
said he, "our opportunities are greater
than our activities. There is yet
much for us to do for the negro.
General f. T. Sykes was called upon
to give "reminiscences Of ante-bellum
days. General Sykes said, in part
''To understand the negro, you must
understand his viewpoint. The pres
cnt-day negro is not like the negro Of
slavery times. The ante-bellum negro
