Easier Prayer
Ralph Methen Thomas
Lord, make me sweet, that I may bless
Somebody’s day with happiness.
As onward though the years 1 go,
Let me not last nor bitter grow;
But may I greet the mocking miles
With cheerful songs and sunny smiles
I would become a "welcome guest
Among the lovely and oppressed,
A missionary to the worn,
The downcast, and the trouble-torn;
A minister of hop, and joy
To those whom trials many annoy.
Especially may 1 be true,
Forgiving, f 1 i and honest through;
And faithful in the little things,
From which so much of heavem
spring.
1 want the privilege to slip.
In thine my hand in fellowship,
So, fill my heart with love untold
For rich and poor, and young and
old,
And' thoroughly instil in me
The spirit of humanity. j
Day in and out, along life’s street,
Let come what may, Lord,
make me—sweet.

HELPING FEED Ol R *
ORPHAN CHILDREN
Each year the Baptist women who
r< ally serve, -the Lord send to the
Baptist Orphans Home at Hapeville,
for empty fruit jars to refill to re
plenish the pantry at the Home, there
/re some who will do no other mis
sion work hut always help with car
ing for Orphan children. In many
places you give out one jar and al
ways get hack two filled.
During the berry season the chil
dren in the' Sunbeam bands and
young folks in other organizations
will help pick, can and otherwise use
berries for the poor little orphan chil
dren whq have no mother or daddy
to love them and pet them and give
: .em sickles to spend for goodies.
If mother'asked them to do this
too of ten’ll is a fact that the sun is
too Hot, the briars too sharp, and
ar.d girls get sick and
have the toothache and headache so
suddenly when .mother has-hard jobs
for them, but not when the orphan
children need the jobs done..
We have already gotten one barrel
of empties for the Douglas V/. M. U.
Brother Pat Anderson '•ays he has
-*ver a hundred barrels of empties
and .hopes we will call for many
more, surely we will not stop at one
when we think how many of us there
are to do this work. ,
Thd way we think and feel about 1
a thing,.'decides how we act. Let us |
look at our own dear children and
Does your eyes smart
§
and run dry when driving have you
noticed the twic.hing and blinking
that worries you as ■yvel.l as others.
Procure your correction made m our
special lenses for preventing hurtful
light that makes frownt and eye aches.
W. R. Wilson,'Opt D.
i
ask ourselves, “If I were dead, and j
mine left would the women cf my j
own church refuse to do this little 1
thing for mine?” Who can be sure j
they will be with their children next j
year, or just what the future holds.
There’s just two reasons why we j
should do all we can to fill as many
jars as possible for the orphans, first
became Christ loved the fjttk chil
dren. He saved us that wo might
serve, the Bible is full of tenderness
for the widow and the Orphan and
puts a curse on one who robs them.
Second, for the love of little chil
dren, and the hope that our own may
never know want, neglect or unkind,
ness, “Blessed are the merciful fc.-i
they shall obtain mercy, ‘God is
love”, and “If any man have not the
spirit cf Christ he is none of His.”
Let us do our work for love of God
and little children, not look on it as
a bqrtk n, or that some officer is pres
sing it on us, or some one wants to
have- nothing to report, a good of
ficer wi uld do it all if she could, just
to keep from having her sisters feel
that way towards her for on- minute.
ECHOES f ROM BAPTIST
INSTIL!FIT \T M RAE
It would b>. vt to impossible to
record all tin good work of the In
stitute, but for the benefit of those
who did not go ar 1 to help carry
on the work to a higher measure of
efficiency w hope to keep some few
points before us from time to ti re.
The matter *of taking care of the
necessary exp 1 - of the work of our
South-East division, and paying the
expenses of offic- rs was discussed,
the general run of members are not
informed m the subject of expense,
hence the ,ack of funds so often to
meet expenses.
It was voted to create the office
of Treasurer of the Division, and
Mrs. Z. T. Daniel was* elected Treas
urer. At once, each association was
apportioned a fair share of expense
fund, and asked to accept or reject
it then and there. Smyrna Associa
tion as assessed $25, the six members
who were present felt -we could meet
that, so Mrs. Breriizer as superinten
dent accepted for the association. All
of us should take notice of this and
help have this money ready to send
in right after our Annual meeting or
better still, on or before the 15th of
September so we coul I make a report
to that effect at the Annual meeting.
Oui schools was anothe§ vital ques
tion called to our attention by Mrs.
Carlton, wife of President of Pied
mont and Brother Nicholson, field
worker for our division, Miss Allen
and others. It is a sad fact, that we
have been seemingly asleep to the
needs of Piedmont, our own school
.right at our own door. Mpst of us
have tender hearts and willing hands
if the work is presented to us, Broth
er Green was right when he -aid, one
visit' to our school toith' an eye. to its '
needs was all it would take to stir j
us to action. So please let u<? each j
when we go to Waycross take time |
to go and see our school, and look i
for the things we can do to help.
Tne women of our Association had
j been gathering coupons from Octogan
soap products to send to the Mary
F. Williams school so that they
might get such articles of silver or
cl Ter-premiums most needed, but af
ter hearing of the needs of our
school here at our door we feel sure
the ladies will decide to send them
to Piedmont. We expect to send about
•5,00.' alsoflour sacks to be used for
dish clothes and towels. A full ro
re) oi t i f this wi),l be made later.
Me/: Alien, State leader of Young

we get down to cold facts and seek
real results, not to have any of *he
• hristian Science doctrine mixed in

who thought he went to Heaven in
an automobile when he only rode in
