Y. Times.) Above the rolling drums is heard The tune of Bonny Doon, And Annie Laurie keeps her tryst Beneath the misty moon. The Flowers of the Forest fall, And rocky road and glen Are ringing to the tramping feet Os Cameron’s marching men. The Campbells they are coming, too, By gloomy lochs and braes, And Afton Water gently flows Through Summer’s golden haze. The melancholy pibrochs call The scattered clans again From miles of heather wild and wet, And sheep-folds gray with rain. For lo! the pipes are all awake And playing as of yore They played before the Highland chiefs On Scotia’s ancient shore. The flash of tartan plaid is seen Along the front in France Wherever hearts beat high and strong, And dauntless troops advance. The crimsbn cross, the tricolor, And the star-flag are unfurled. And charging side by side to bring Salvation to the world, And the Kilties blow the skirling pipes Until they’re out of breath, To cheer the allied armies on To victory or death. * * * SWIMMING PARTY FOR SUMJAY SCHOOL ( LASS.

A. Ray, District Secre-, tary of Missionary work done by the Methodist church in the Americus dis trict : Our country is in war. Individual citizens and multiplied organizations are thereby called to loyalty, patro tism, and service. Much fine work has already been launched by women’s organizations, as well as by men’s civ ic clubs, which challenges the church to organized action. To the church comes the double responsibility of continuing her institutions with un diminished zeal, that the soul life of the nation may not suffer, and of rend ering service for war relief and for the moral and spiritual upkeep of the sold iers in mobilization camps and on bat tle fields. The Committee on Chaplains, ap pointed by the College of Bishops, has headed its work in the Home Depart ment of the Board of Missions; and in conference with this committee, the Woman's Missionary Council has draft ed a plan of operation for the begin ning of service of the women of the church. In harmony with the plan of the Chaplain Committee, this definite woman’s war service will operate through the Home Department of the Council. Every auxiliary is urged to hold a special meeting to organize for sepec ific war work. The plans outlined by the Council apply to the individual wo man, to every auxiliary and church in the connection, and furnishes a special line of activity for those societies and churches near mobilization camps. Let every woman in the church pledge to give a special season each day to prayer that our officers and sol diers may be kept pure, strong and true, that our nation may be without blame in this bloody strife, and that peace may speedily come. That we may not duplicate activities, we urge every Methodist woman to have mem bership in a Red Cross, chapter. If there is not a chapter in your com munity, you can connect with the same through your bank or post office. Organize auxiliary and church pray er circles and pray definitely, persist ently, and unitedly that the miracle of peace may be wrought. Organize a “War Committee” dele gated to carry into operation the will of the auxiliary and plans of the Coun cil in their efforts at war relief. ■ Through this connecting committee, various efforts can be made to put the ( church in touch with its sons and tablish a steadying, reassuring relation ( with these men. in their hours of test and peril. AVe are made bold to get : the church thus mobilized for inspira-! tion and protection, because these are. the sons of the many mothers who for these years have made our missionary societies. Rise women of the church, rise up and gird yourselves to answer this first call to serve your own! The ap pended program makes clear the to be done now. Large or more con-! structive work may come later, but for today the church is sending this e plan: : The Individual Woman. 1. In these times of strain and sor-. - row keep alive the spirit of prayer, that •> men may be sustained by the consci d ousness of the presence and power of God. 1 2. Urge every woman to have mem bership in the Red Cross Society. 3. Let each church make an urgent 1 call to its membership to assist in, preparation of materials needed in. 1 sickness, suffering, and travel. This is: I to be done according to government 1 i regulation. 4. Let none forget those ministries, of the spirit to which the Christian is I committed. JI * * # iIETTER FROM £ MRS. HOWARD M’CALL. e | The following letter has been sent . B ;by Mrs. Howard McCall, state regent j' I of the D. A. R., to all the regents of 3 the various chapters: Atlanta, Ga., July 24, 1917. 3 Dear Madam Regent: I have received letters from Mrs. ’ Matthew T. Scott, as chairman of the l jwar relief service committee of the j I national society, and while I know: * I just how hard it is to keep the chap-| 1 |ters together during the summer! ' months. I hope that you can publish I this letter in your local paper, and in ’ j that way reach every member of your ' i chapter. For our war relief work is | urgent, and we hope to keep Georgia 1 D A. R. foremost in all good work. 1 Ail organizations are now doing 3 splendid work and the woman’s com -3 mittee, Council of National Defense, was created for the purpose of co-ordi nating the organized force of women 1 in order to secure greater efficiency in the defense work of the nation. As ' state regent, I represent the D. A. R. , r on this board of Georgia, and Mrs. S. , W. Foster is state chairman of regis-'. 3 tration. All D. A. R. reports are sent , t me as state regent. Under this plan | nc organization loses it identity. 1. —The D. A. R. registration blanks ( were sent in June to the chapter re-L 1 gents. Only 60 have been returned to me. Please try to have each mem-j, ber sign and return blaks to me. The 1 blanks sent out by’ the National Lea gue for Woman’s Service, Mrs. Wm. Lawson Peel, state chairman, in no way 1 interferes with our registration blanks. s All blanks furnish useful material to the National Council of Defense. 5 2.—Red Cross Work. As the Na- ( ’ tional Red Cross Society is for the spe- , ’ cific purpose of aid in national calami- , 1 ties, and the organization recognized 1 and directed under government super- , C vision, it is the most direct way to render national aid. At our state con- ■ ference it was decided that all of the ( ’ D A. R. chapters engage in active ‘ work for the Red Cross, in the way best suited to the locality, keep an account , ‘ of the work accomplished by your members, in order that a splendid re port can be made by the D. A. R. > 3. —The Woman’s Section of the ’ Navy League. This work has also 1 been endorsed by the national socie- , ! ty, instructions in regard to the knit ‘ ting of sleeveless jackets, arctics, muf ' flers, wristlets and helmets have been 1 mailed to you. Comfort-kit bags can - also be made. You can send finished ! articles direct to Mrs. Roby Robinson, ! state chairman, Peachtree street, At-| ’ lanta, Ga., or to me as state regent. Keep an account of finished articles , 1 for report. 4. —Jelly. In order that the daugh ters may be preparing for every erner- ‘ gency, chapter members can furnish 1 their chapter regent with a supply of 1 jelly, to be held in store by her as * hospital supplies are needed. 5. —Clippings. The national society 1 has endorsed clippings to be used for 1 hospitals. Finished scrap books for ’ convalescent soldiers can be ent to 1 Mrs. S. W. Foster, chairman. : 6.—Conservation. As your state re- 1 gent, I pledged to the national council ( ! of defense that 3,000 D. A. R.’s in Geor ! gia would do their part in the national , ’ crisis toward conservation. AVhen a country is at war, the economic and ’ domestic conditions of that country are 1 in the hands cf the women. And it | is then that the best and finest in wo- j ■ manhood comes forth, and I am sure ; ’ the American woman will show her es- ] ficiency now and in the months to come. Mrs. Sheppard W. Foster is now ; ' national chairman of conservation, and £ if you have not appointed a chairman t of conservation in your chapter, please t I appoint one at once. Mrs. Oswell Eve, f 1 of Augusta, is state chairman, and she , • ( will communicate with you before the t first meeting in the fall. t i'l 7.—War Relief Emergency Fund. In t my first letter to you after war was de-' ( THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. '■ larcd. 1 urged that every chapter begin immediately to create a “war relief . fund for emergency,” to be raised in any way that seemed advisable and to‘ be "sed if we were called on by the national society for a specific purpose, or if it was needed by the state. No request has been made by the national' so< iety for the D. A. R. on concentrate for any specific purpose. At the June j board meeting a full report was given' by Mrs. Scott for war relief work. It was suggested by Mrs. S. AV. Foster, ■ vice president general, that the D. A.; F in Georgia concentrate on one spe- ! cific thing—that an army ambulance be I purchased by them and presented to i our government, either for service in this country or abroad. As state re- 1 gent, I approved of this plan, and it was . suggested to you in her letter of July. Sth. Many of the states have decided cr the purchase of an army ambulance. ■ Georgia always wants to do her part. Please communicate this plan to buy an ■ ambulance to your chapter at their first ' meeting this fall, and advise Mrs. i Frank E. Fleming, state chairman of 'the war relief committee, Augusta, Ga., ’ of your decision, and what amount you wish to contribute as a chapter. The ambulance will cost about $1,500. The plan will then be brought be fore the executive board when it .meets in November, and definite plans toward the purchase have been made, j* Many inquiries have come to me in, I regard to the French war orphans. If your chapter wishes to donate to this beautiful work, send your contribution direct to the state treasurer, Mrs. L. H. Chapman, Quitman, Ga. The usual work of our organization ! will not be stressed this year, as our j patriotic war relief work must come first. AVe must be ready for any emer- Igency; prepare ourselves for service; be courageous, encourage others, and above all, pray every day—for prayers strengthen one’s purposes and help to hold one true. With sincere love to you and to your hapter members. MRS. HOAVARD M’CALL, State Regent. FOR SALE. Will sell this Bank s equity in the place formerly known as the S. C.
