THE THOUGHT IS A:
BEAUTIFUL ONE.
The Charitably Inclined Can Aid In
a Heart Impulse That Will
Bring Them Pleasure.
Editor Covington News:—A s editor
of D. A. R., Department of the At¬
lanta Constitution, I have just receiv¬
ed a letter from Mr. Robinson asking
aid in placing the chimes in the
church at Durham, N. C., feeling that
it is indeed a privilege to render
thanks unto God for His manifold
mercies, I am asking The News to
print his plea, hoping that some
hearts in Georgia will feel that ’tis
good to praise the Lord forever.
Mrs. Wm. C. Clark.
Editor J. A. Robinson—‘‘Jim”
Robinson—who is editor and also the
owner of the Durham, N. C., Daily
Sun, recently suffered a desperate ill¬
ness. The doctors despaired of his
life, but he recovered on his nerve
and grit. He is doing whatmost peo¬
ple who recover from illness or mis¬
fortune or escape great danger forget
to do. He is trying to express and
prove his gratitude to the God whom
he thanks and to whose mercy he at¬
tributes renewed life and health.
Therefore, he is using his personal ef¬
forts to secure $4,000 with which to
provide a set of chimes for St. Phil¬
ip’s Episcopal church at Durham, a
beautiful structure now nearing com¬
pletion. He is anxious while he lives
to hear the thankfulness of one peni¬
tent and grateful sinner sing out from
the tower the famaliar airs of praise
and prayer; and that long after his
death the mercy shown him shall be
commemorated along with his humble
love and reverence, and that of those
who aid him. , The thought is a beau¬
tiful one.
Mr. Robinson asks his fellow-news¬
paper men to help him and to say that
all contributions sent to him at Dur¬
ham, N. C., will be thankfully receiv¬
ed and faithfully applied. His under¬
taking is endorsed cordially by the
Rector of the church, the Governor
of the State, and prominent citizens
of Durham. Mr. Robinson has under¬
taken the work of securing the
chimes—which he himself cannot pro¬
vide from his own means—with the
zeal and energy which makes the
Durham Sun one of the brightest and
most influential newspapers in North
Carolina.
The smallest amount sent him is
just as gratefully received as the lar¬
gest. Will you not add your mite,
and “rejoice with those who do re¬
joice”?—Richmond, Leader. (Va.,) News
Daily Sun Office, Durham, N. C.—
My Dear Friend:—Will not your char¬
itable nature prompt you to send me
25 cents for the above object, and in¬
duce you to interest yourself, in the
“Master’s Name,” and write to your
friends soliciting them to make a sim¬
ilar contribution, and they in like
manner to their friends? Of course if
you send more than 25 cents, the joy
will be greater. You will have a voice
in the sweet sounds of the bells, as
they ring out their praises to a kind
Heavenly Father for his blessings to
you as well as others. Remember,
“the Lord loveth a cheerful giver.”
Earnestly soliciting this small sum,
and your co-operation with your
friends, and they with their friends,
and praying God’s richest blessings
upon you and your contribution, I
beg to remain, yours most gratefully,
for the Master’s glory,
James A. Robinson, Durham, N. C.
Contribute now, before you forget
it, and sleep well tonight over one
good deed done today. Keep me—
this slip—going. Send it to a friend
of yours.
Mothers Club Organized.
The Mothers Circle is an organized
body of consecrated, sympathetic,
Christian mothers, desiring to advance
the spiritual, moral and physical
childhood. There are two quotations
from advanced, thinkers that explain
the aim of the Circle: “Character
cannot be talked into, or taught into
a child; it must be lived into it.”
“To accomplish the greatest good for
our own loved ones means the better¬
ed environments of all children.”
Co-operation of the school and home
means much to the home and much to
the school.
February 26th there was a mothers
Circle organized at the home of Mrs.
J. B. Davis for this purpose. There
were fourteen present. Officers were
elected are Mrs. Burton Davis, Pres¬
ident; Mrs. H. B. Anderson, 1st vice
president; Mrs. James Stephenson,
2nd vice president; Mrs. Hawk, re¬
cording secretary; Mrs. E. O. Lee,
Treasurer.
For a short while, in order to get
into the most beneficial, intelligent
and pleasant plans for conducting the
Circle, for it is a new enterprise to all,
the number was limited to 25. It is
desired and intended to enroll the
name of every mother in Covington
and have her present at these meet¬
ings, if not every one whom she saw,
but to be identified with this_ Circle.
It is for the good of our children Mid
their mothers. Full reports of Oie
meetings will be given in each of the
Covington papers, that you may learn
with us.

Fine Sunday School.
The Methodist Sunday school here
under the supervision of Mr. R. P.
Lester is in a flourishing condition.
Much interest is being manifested
each Sunday and the attendance is
very large. Last Sunday the exact
number in the Sunday school was 189.
This is probably the largest Sunday
school ever recorded in this city.
The classes are large and enthusiastic
and the instructive talks given each
Sunday by Superintendent Lester are
instructive and interesting. Credit
is due Mr. Lester for this very large
school. He is an enthusiastic worker
of both the church and Sunday School,
and puts all his energy in any work
for the betterment of the people in
the community in which he lives. The
music furnished each Sunday is prob¬
ably the best ever listened to by the
citizens of the city. If you are inter¬
ested in Sunday school work attend
one of these services and we are sure
that you will be a regular scholar.
