HUGE TASK DONE
BY CENTENARY:
Work Being Carried Or In Nine
Foreign Fields And This
Country
“The great work of the Missionary ■
CcntenarjTtof the Methodist Episcopal
church, Smith, is being carried on in
the ninejfipreign fields and the home
land,” Dr.' W. W. Pinson, missionary
secretary, of the Methodist church, I
told a gathering at the First Metho- ,
dist church here Moiuiay night.
“In Europe over 300,000 people
schools, orphanag • and hospital'
have been clothed and fed. Church ■; ,
have been erected in Belgium, Pol
and and ■Czecho-Slovakia. At Bol
logne, Surma, is located the .
recuperating camp where thousands
of people Have received nv lical at
tention Under the direction of skilled
doctors and trained nurses.
“In and Mexico, churches,,
schools ail'd hospitals have been pro- |
vided for and our work in these two
fields is in a’flourishing condition. ’
“The Centenary has made it possi
ble for US to greatly enlarge our
building program in Brazil. During;
the Centenary we have completed fif
ty churches, twenty-four parsonages |
and nine schools. The native Brazil
ians have contributed dollar for dol- I
lar in our building program and have
manifested great interest in our mis
sion work.
"New buildings have gone up in Ja
pan and China, greatly adding to ■
our present equipment. The total I
appropriations for the past three
years to China are $693,027.60, to
japan $745,888.62. The contribu
tion per member in the Methodist
Japanese conference to the Centen
ary was much larger than per mem
ber of the home church. This should
be an inspiratjon to us to do larger I
things.
"The Centenary ha.- trained and 1
sent into the fields 175 new mission
aries, with 2,000 in training; 1,000 i
new preachers, with 5,000 valunteer |
for life service that have offered I
themselves to the church for definite I
work, making it necessary that w? I
(mould collect our Centenary pledges
in order to train ami equip the. i- vol
unteer’s.
“The Centenary evangelistic pro- ■
gram in’ Czechoslovakia and Korea ;
has touched over 20,000 persons that ,
have become believers and identified
with out church. As a result. <Jf th
evangelistic program in Korea over
JOO new Methodist churches were cs- I
tablished in the past year.
“The Centenary has made if possi- j
ble for Methodism to enter Manchuria ■
\ and Siberia and within seven months I
we have churches with a membership
of 1200.
"Missionary appropriations for tb
Southern Methodist church in 1918, I
were $1,218,000.00; in .1922, $5,088,-,
000.00. Percent of increase in four
years, 317'1. Group meetings are
being held in every district in the ’
South Georgia conference, making
plans for World Week from March
26th to April 2nd, when every chur.-h ;
will be requested to org. nize and en
deavor to collect its Centenary i
pledges to date, that. ;e church may ’
keep its promise ana meet its obli- ■
gations and continue its program in :
the mission field.”

Miss Parkman
Miss Bonnie'' Parkman, recently
chosen successor to Mrs. Olin Wil
liams as home economics agent for
Sumter county, made a number of
visits to the various county schools,
organizing the clubs for the year. So
thoroughly systematized has the work
been done under the able direction
of Mrs. Williams, retiring agent, that
Miss Parkman had little to do be
sides introduce herself to the (J'.ib
girls and women and invite their con
tinued support of the work.
‘ It is the ambition of Miss Parkman
to make Sumtes county the manner
club county in the state this year, and
she has pledged her untiring efforts
to this. The schools which she has
visited also have pledged their hear
ty co-operation to making Sumter
prominent on the club map.
Mi:» Parkman announces that an
interesting course has been prepared
for the club girls in cooking, simple
• owing and millinery, together with
the work of canning and raising fine
poultry. It is expected that with the
coming of spring and early maturing
of vegetables, work will he begun
promptly and continue throughout
the summer season.
Miss Parkman stressed the-neces
sity of planting early for the curb
market which was recently estab
lished in Americus, the town people
looking to their rural friends for the
mpplies of produce which will be fle
! cessary to stimulate constant buying
at the curb. She has instructed the

ing a part of its cricism:
Once in a season you see a musi- i
cal comedy that makes you forget ;
cverv other musical comedy you ever :
saw in your iille |Thai’s “Take I
It From Me,” which started a three
days’ run at the Atlanta theater last I
night.
Brilliant costumes played an im
portant part in making the show, but
still they only added to the music
and the parts of the players them
selves. And the players'. The Gar
diner trio predominated throughout,
and presented dances that were un- I
siirpassed on the Atlanta’s statge. In |
the last act, in “The Dance Diver- ,
tiSement” and "The Marine Dance,” ;
the Gardiner trio’ scored heavily.

Gaites colors, theatergoers were as
sured of a big hit, but "Take it
From Me” was more than that. Each
role could hardly have beer improved
on. Even the heavy parts were car
ried out to perfection. One sel
dom comes across a show as well bal
anced in the cast.
And the chorus comes in for more
! than one word. It was not “filled
out’ with non-essentials,” but car
ried a bevy of beauties that surpass
: ed any chorus appearing in the At-
I lanta this season.
There was not a poor voice in the
entire company, either. Miss Sweet,
I as ‘ Queenie,” probably socred the
! heaviest with her songs. The other
I musical selections were principally
' ensemble presentations.
i There isn't a dull moment in the
i whole show. It is original and clean
cut. It is chock full of real comedy.
I Even at first the drecepit, office 'boy'
gains speed and throws off some of
! his years as the play progresses, and
i he furnishes a deal of comedy
- probably more than the ordinary
elderly man would on a pair of roll
er skates. Harry Burham is well
I cast in the part.
Helen Gardiner made a big hit in
the Egyptian dance in the first act.
i Supported by an attractively costuni
i ed chorus and in unique stage set
' tings, the dance entranced.
