Batesburg, Feb. 14.---Last Sunday,
DR.. q. G. Ridgell, Superintendent of
the Bateaburg Baptist Sunday school
presented the Jewish Relief fund call
TO help the millions of starving war
orphans and Jews, before the Sunday
school and congregation. His appeal
was graphic. fervent and effective.
The first to respond was O gentleman
recently moved to our town, contribut-
ing $1,000. Two young men and two
business men were appointed to solicit
for funds. DR.. Ridgell is chairman
for Lexington county for this Relief
fund and has asked all the Sunday
school superintendents OF the county,
through the newspapers, to present
the call and appoint solicitors. The
doctor says the people of Lexington
county always respond to distress calls
when they have the facts and are
worthy. and he is depending on the
superintendents to inform them.
The suffering and distress are ap-
palling state messages received from
Russia. These messages record moth
ers eating their own children and
people perishing from hunger are
eaten by wolves. If we would save
life, we must act immediately. no
time for delay.
A number of members of the I,uth-
eran church in our town met Sunday
afternoon and organized Sabbath
school by electing Mr.. Leffie c.
! Shealy, superintendent and Mr.. H.
l.. 'F'ulmer assistant. Mr.. Baron OK
ner was elected secretary and treas-
urer. Three teachers were also select
ed to teach the. classes organized at
the meeting. For ,:le present the
meetings will be held in the hall over
the post office at $3.50 O'Clock in the
afternoon. An organ has been Sc
cured for the school and the members
enrolled expect to begin regular work
at once. MIR. S. Pickens Derrick gave
on the lesson. One of the churches in
town has already rendered the school
the use of their building every Sunday
afternoon pending the arrangements
TO secure permanent quarters.
