Much local interest is attached to
the Christian educational movement
of the Southern Methodist church.
The campaign for the raising of $685.
100000 for the institutions fostered
by the southern church will open
next week. The campaign is of par
tic11lar interest to this community IN
view of the fact that Carlisle school
is to participate in the fund to the
extent of 100000, if the entire
amount is pledged. The campaign
pledges cover a period of five years.
Carlisle school is one of the very
best assets Of this entire section, and
the progress of the campaign will be
watched by all friends of the local
school, regardless of UNCONVENTIONAL
choice. Carlisle school is part OF
Bamberg, and as such is not merely
a denominations school. Friends OF
the school, of whateve denomination,
are anxious to see the school make
progress. We should all like to see
the school made a Junior college, and
this appears to be more than posi-
bilitv. If the school can attain the
rank of Junior college, one may not
have to stretch his Imagination far to
see the prospects Of a full fedged
college in ,Bamberg before many
years. The fact that there is not
college of any kind, denominational
or secular, in this section OF the
state makes the possibility Of the
establishment of such an Institution
only a matter of a few years. If
Bamberg wants such an institution.
now is the opportune moment to lay
the foundation. With greater Car
Isle school. promoted according to
the plans of the educational move
ment, there will be located here the
best equipped plant by far that could
be used as a nucleus for college.
With the people Of Bamberg whole
heartedly behind the school during
the campaign, there will be no doubt
in the minds Of southern Nethodists
that Bamberg wants greater school.
It is to be borne in mind that an
educational institution is prize
that is coveted by all progressive
towns and cities. and there are many
that are willing to put their money
up for it's location.

Faith Sunday in the Educational
Movement.

In our Educational Movement, June
9Th is to be known as Victory Sun
day. Why not call May 29th Faith
Sunday? The Christian religion has
its sources in faith and moves in the
realm of faith. and never outside OF
it. Rationalism has its source in the
visible. tangible and humanity possible.
It's creed is, according to Your cash
so be it unto you, but TO the Christian,
his creed is, According to your faith,
so be il unto yoU.' This is the vic
tory that overcometh the world even
our faith" We are eXhorted to walk
by faith and not by sight.
In the Educational Movement too
many of us are insisting on walking
BY sight. We are saying wait until
times are prosperous, then We will do
this great thing which means wait
until We get the cash and then We VIII
accomplish this task. II We wait for
the cash, we will have no need Of
faith. Faith comes when we have no
cash. Faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the proof of the unseen -
Faith extracts cash out Of the skies
when we do not have it.
The man who says that we cannot
do this job has lost faith.
First: he has lost faith in his God.
He does not believe that passage
which says "Take no thought for to-
morrow, what We shall eat or where
withal We shall be clothed, sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof If
God so clothed the grass Of the field
which today is and tomorrow is cast
into the oven, Will He not much more
clothe you, oh ye Of little faith.'
Such man does not believe there
will be any more sunshine and show
ers. He does not believe there will be
any more seed time and harvest. God
is dead, and Providence has made an
assignment and he has enquired for
the nearest Juniper tree.
Second: he has lost faith in himself.
He knows that he has been able to
achieve in the past, to earn money,
to produce. But today both hands are
up and he is down and out and say
ing by acts if not by words | can new
er come again, I can never achieve,
never earn any more, never can pro-
duce. He has not faith in himself.
Third: ne has lost faith in his coun-
try. There was time when he gloried
in the greatness of the south, its ma
tural resources, its agriculture, its
manufacture and it's commerce. But
all that is a thing of the past. The
south has no future. He has no faith
in the future.
Is it not strange how quickly men
forget: In 1914 conditions were far
worse than they are now. Everything
was stagnant in the business world.
The streets Of our southern cities
were piled high with cotton and there
was no market. It would not even
bring the pittance of five cents per
pound. There was a patriotic appeal
made to the people to buy at least one
bale of cotton from a patriotic motive,
so we bought it and set it on our front
verandas to proclaim our patriotism.
In five years time, just the period of

FOLK SONGS ABOUND
DESPITE JAZZ CRAZE,
W0MEN'S CLUBS TOLD
fRy Associated Pressl

~NSSONi6NNh
MUNCIE, Ind. Oct 20.--America,
despite its youth has wealth of folk
songs, which it should develop, Mrs.
Anne Faulkner Oberndorfor of Chica-
go, told the delegates to the thirty-sec-
ond annual convention of the Indiana
Federation of clubs today. Jazz is only
a revival of music used by almost
barbaric negroes as the accompani-
ment of the voodoo ceremonies Mrs.
Oberndorfer said. AS national music
chairman of the General Federation
of Women's clubs Mrs. Oberndorfer
appeared before the Indiana women
to suggest an improvement of music
in the homes.
The folk music of any land is its
most important musical asset" said
Mrs. Oberndorfer, yet it has only
been recently that we in America
have come to realize the wealth Of
our own folk material We are just
beginning to recognize the marvellous
strength of our Indian music, just as
at last we are discovering the true
worth of the Indian legends. In the
native songs of the American Negro
are to be found the most interesting
and unique expression ever contribut-
ed to literature and music by primi-
tive people"
Urges Daily Music Hour.
Song titles and the cover illustra-
tons on popular music are enough to
brand some of the songs as vile, Mrs.
Oberndorfer declared. Large indus
tries which started community sings
during the war have been compelled
to forbid the singing of jazz music be-
cause of its detrimental effect, the
speaker said.
When we know what the evil music
is and where it is then we must search
for a substitute" said Mrs. Obern-
dorfer, "and the best substitute will
be OF no value unless we make our
music a vital part of our everyday life
in America, from our own homes out
to every part of our community.
Let US start a daily music hour in
our homes when We sing the good old
folk songs of the whole world. Let
us encourage our children to play good
music for us in our homes. Let US
use our monographs and player-pian-
os as a force for good music and edu-
cation in our home circle"

How You Can Help the Unemployed
BY FREDERICK J. HAskIN

agitator, and his most receptive
auditor.
The Woods committee aims to act
as a clearing house for information
as to how the unemployment problem
may be met by communities. Port
land, Oregon, for example, is solving
its unemployment problem with great
satisfaction In this as in other cities
charity and waste are frowned upon.
Portland announces that one of its OBJ
jects is to make soup kitchens IN
necessary. After all, soup kitchens
and bread lines are a confession of
failure
The Portland committee also an
nounces, as one of its purposes to
keep employers from taking advantage
of the situation 10 reduce wages.
Portland has one committee to urge
the undertaking of as much public
work as possible. Another handles the
industrial phase of the problem, and
urges industry to do as much construc-
ton work as possible. 1t also solicits
the householder to provide odd jobs.
There is a special director for the en-
ployment of women For the floating
population wood yard has been es-
tablished which will produce and sell
cord wood, A municipal rock pile
will be operated for those who refuse
to work.
No Unemployment Allowed.
So if you don't want to work, don't
go to Portland.
Colonel Woods also is advocating in
the nation at large the undertaking of
as much public work as possible. He
does not advocate that either states
cities, industrial concerns or individ
uals have work done merely for the
purpose of affording jobs. That is
waste. He advocates that in the case
of cities and states, work for which
| appropriations have already been
made should be undertaken at once
Work ordinarily done only in the sum
mer, as is the case with much street
and other municipal work, should be
continued as long as the weather per
mits. The individual should lool
about for things that need to be done
and have them done now.
The unemployment situation already
! shows marked signs of Improvement
! but the fact should not be overlooked
that many men are still employed il

will come this winter.

BOSTON To CONTINUE
COMMUNITY NIGHTS

BOSTON, Ind, Oct. 20.-The unani-
nous decision to continue community
night entertainments and make them
a regular feature of life in Boston
was the result of that towns first
community night, held in the Masonic
hall Wednesday night.
The play program was under the dl-
rection of Mr.. and Mrs. Ora Stegall,

Beetley, 48 South Tenth street, and
Mrs. P. J. Heery, 2314 North F street,
all of Richmond.
About 125 people were present to
enjoy the oyster supper and the pro-
gram of entertainment and games.
The community night feature was sug-
gested by Rev. Thorn of the Method
list church and was initiated with the
cooperation of that church and the
Masons of Boston.
Music for the evening was furnish
ed by the Boston band of which Char
les Gregorson is the leader. This was
the first public appearance of the
band.
The frequency with which commun
ity night meetings are to be held in
the future and the dates, are expected
TO be announced soon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20-You
may not be in a position to offer a
regular job to anyone, but neverthe-
less you can do your share toward
helping the unemployed.
You can do this by having done now
work that must be done sometime. II
the front porch or the barn needs a
coat of paint, if the furnace needs
fixing, if you contemplate building a
chicken house or laying a sidewalk, if
your premises need cleaning up-have
it done now. Even to have your hair
cut or your shoes shined when you
can we'll afford it and might otherwise
neglect it, is to add something to the
sum total of work.
This is the plea of Colonel Arthur
Woods, of New York, who is Chair
man of the Committee on Civic, Com
munity and Emergency Measures of
the Unemployment Conference. His
job is to find immediate ways of plac-
ing people in industry while the con-
ference makes a thorough study of
the situation, and especially to help
in municipal and other community eff
forts to solve the problem.
His work has just begun. He is get
ting in touch with the mayor of every
city in the United States having a
population of $4,000 or more, with the
exception of some cities which have
already tackled the problem with such
energy and skill that they are obvi.
ously not in need of any help.
Cities Doing Good Work.
The number of cities which are al
ready doing good work is consider
able, and will evidently grow. That, in
fact, is the striking feature of the
situation. The country is carrying the
unemployed on its conscience in q
way that is wholly unprecedented
There have been many worse spells
of unemployment in the history Of this
country than the present one. The
usual attitude toward them in the past
has been to ignore them. The theory
has been that if you do not talk OIL
write about hard times, they will dis
appear. Bury your head in the sands
of otipmism and you are safe. This
ostrich-like attitude has suddenly dis
appeared. The unemployment prob
lem is a leading feature of news anG
conversation. The country seems sud
| denly to have awakened to the fac
! that a man who wants to work and i!
able to work, but can find no work t.
! do, is a political and economic liabil
| ity which the country cannot afford
| He is proof positive that the socia
machine does not function well. He i!

accomplished if a method could be
worked out for shifting men to where
they are needed. For example, from
towns in the cotton belt comes word
that not only is there no unemploy-
ment, but more cotton pickers are
urgently needed. Grand Rapids, Mich
! igan. needs furniture upholsterers. The
list might be heightened.

phases of the problem which the con-
/ ference will deal. with in due course

/; National measures will be got under
way in due course But it does be-

undoubtedly begins in the cities. They
are the ones who must do the emer-
gency work.
