Letter To OkJ
Man Folks
IF, BI T . . .
We could meet ourselves a
back
From where our dreams
been,
Would we sit awhile and talk
Smile,
And lift up, up our chin?
We could count the echo's we had
found;
And scatter them for miles
around;
And make our fellows mighty
glad
For an opportunity that we had!
Dear Old Man Folks:
Thinklots says to me, “If but
things could be different, then we
would be different too.” Then I
asked him if the same thing would
not work in reverse? It was no
surprise to me when he answered,
“Yes, yes, it will!” If we were
different things would be differ
ent from what they are, for don’t
we make Things, heaps and heaps
of them, and in a way that we
want them to be?
When myself and Thinklot had
talked for a few minutes together,

“SERVICE WITH A SMILE”
r W. C. MeGAHEE
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly in the State)
it was evident that each of we
were becoming more and more
surprised at what the other was
saying. We came to know that
neither of us was knowing any
thing about what we were talk
! ing about. But that was when our
I conversation became interesting.
Humanity is a curious sort ol
I something anyhow, it is when it j
becomes completely lost in Mys
tery that it peeps up and tries to
lake interest in its living! So it ;■
was that myself and Thinklots j
got together and waded out into
Nothing, and our interest was in
the trying to get ourselves away
from it. But we never did . . .
and that was interesting too, and
rite funny. So we said this to
each other and adjourned—read it
A bit of honest thinking
I Helps along a day,
Start workers to working
And players to play;
j Then it puts a feeling in us,
There is much to do,
Since the world is full of people
Like myself and you and you!
I think-I see a Painter-man
With a little brush of gold,
He’s on the hill beside the mill,
He’s everywhere, I’m told;
He’s in the valley by the spring,
He’s by the mountain’s ledge;
He’s in the trees among the bees
And by the water’s edge.
I think I see a Painter-man,
He’s cute as cute can be;
He’s touching words and bees and
birds,
And even you and me;
He’s in the wood, a tedious job
With his little touch of gold—
He gives each limb a Wintry trim,
And leaves them strong and
bold.
I think I see a Painter-man,
There's mischief in his eye;
He’s mighty sweet from head to
feet,
This no one can deny;
But as we watch the Painter
man
Vi it hhis little touch of gold—
I do not tease, but we nearly
freeze,
No matter if we’re bold.
I think I see a Painter-man,
He’s whistling of a tune;
It must not be a song for me,
For it doesn’t sound like June;
It seems to say, ‘make hay,
‘The Winter-man is here!’
P Ft up your cloak, this ain’t no
joke;
Wiy voice is strong and clear.
—Jim Pollywog.

Surrounded by flowers and green grass, shaded by
g™nd old oaks, serenaded daily by the songs ot birds, un
touched by the elements, the cottages which house orphan
children at the Methodist Home at Decatur, remain lasting
monuments to good people in our state. Warm bodies,
trained minds, happy hearts, useful lives made possible
f or hundreds of children! What finer monument could any
man build?
A visit was paid the Methodist Orphan Home at
Decatur last Friday afternoon. A sight-seeing trip
through the grounds was arranged and a close-up
picture of the orphan home was obtained for the first
time. A look-see into several of the cottages, hospital,
new school building and work shop afforded first 1
hand information as to how the Methodist Home cares
for its children, which now number 134. (14 over nor
mal capacity.)
A beautiful, modern chapel is one of the first sights
see when you have entered the long drive into the
Methodist Home grounds. The chapel is the most at
building on the campus, time touching it gently
bringing out the darker shadows of the age-old andI
grey stone. Here, Sunday after Sunday and
the week, the children gather to sing and pray and
of Him, their heavenly Father.
The Methodist Children’s Home is truly a busy
place. The children are trained in all sorts of help
ful pursuits. Aside from regular school, each one,
over 12 years of age, has three hours of definite work
each day, changing from one task to another and be
coming familiar with a variety of practical training.
The teachers at the Home know that nature furnishes
opportunities for knowing God so they teach the
to plant things and to watch them grow; all in an
for the great Creator. The younger children
trained in the art of home making and each one is
to do some simple, helpful task, and thus to feel
he has a part in keeping the Home attractive.
Rev. Frank Quillian is the Superintendent of the
Home. He is a fine fellow who can tickle you with a
dry joke. Rev. Frank Barfield, pastor of the Coving
ton Mill Methodist Church, Brother Jack Nickols and
myself were walking over the campus with the Home
Superintendent when one in the party asked what the
long building in the distance represented. Brother
Quillian told that it was the dairy. “We have 150 cows
down there,” he said, “and not a one of them giving
a drop of milk.” Members of our sight-seeing party
looked at each other amazed. Brother Frank laughed
and concluded, “You have to take it away from them
—not a one giving it away.”
The Woman’s Society of Christian Service of Coving
Mills sponsored a kitchen shower for the Methodist
at Decatur last week. The offerings were summed
and the total value was estimated by the Home as
$51.25.
Knowing very little about the Missionary Societies,
your reporter asked the Covington Mill society to furnish
this column with a little data as to the workings of the
Missionary Society. Mrs. R. P. Blackburn, Publicity Chair
man of the Society, has responded with the following in
formation concerning the Society of the Covington Mill
Methodist Church:
The Methodist Woman’s Missionary Society has
changed it’s name to The Woman’s Society of Christian
Service. A membership offering is sent quarterly to the
State Treasurer.
A small sum is contributed quarterly to the Chil
dren’s welfare work, which is also sent to the State
Treasurer of the Society. At least one basket of fruit
is given to the sick each month. A fund is had for buy
ing flowers for the deceased and the society meets
once each month. To become a member, service, ear
nest prayer and a contribution of money through
membership offerings annually are required.
Such missionary societies are very helpful in spread
ing the cause of Christ through a world of hatred and
strife. Through the untiring work of the Covington Mill
Society alone, the Methodist Orphan Home at Decatur re
ceived $51.25 worth of groceries last Friday afternoon.
Rev. Frank Quillian, Superintendent of the Decatur
Hotti 6 –sked that this information be passed on in order
that the public might be given a chance to know the value
of a gift.
Two dollars per month will educate a child*
$3 00 per month will clothe a child. $8.00 per month
will feed a child; $25.00 per month will pay all
of child and $100.00 ex
penses a per month will pay one
day’s expenses of the Home.
The Children’s Home at Decatur is the greatest mis
sionary, benevolent, and philanthropic work of the North
Georgia Conference. It is one of the really great influen
tial institutions of our country—so let us all try to help
more in the future than we have in the past. “God loveth
cheerful giver-.” a
