Newton County gathered to hear Mrs. Arthur J. Moore bring
a first-hand report of world conditions at the Julia A. Porter
Methodist. Church in Porterdale. Georgia, on May 13. The

mission study chairman nf the
Porterdale W S. C. S„ presided '
and welcomed all guests. Miss
Eva Mask of the North Coving

a lovely devotional. Miss Mask
based her message on Isaiah 6:8
। “Here am I. send me".
The speaker was introduced by
। the Rev. H. Frank Barfield, past
। or of the host church. Mrs. Moore
planned originally to teach the
book “Along tihe African Path”.
However, she felt that the wo
men would enjoy an imaginative
hop around the world with first
hand reports of things, places,
and people whom she has seen
on her travels with her husband.
Bishop Arthur J. Moore. In her
charming manner, Mrs. Moore
thrilled the women with her in
terpretation. Mrs. Moore spoke
of the joy nf- belonging to a
family, a school, a church, a co
mmunity, and a world. Then she
beautifully emphasized the fact
■that our world is one world in
its pain, its sin, and its love.]
With the use of the verse she
spoke of the faith which is es
sential. “Real faith involves]
risks", said Mrs. Moore. One sent
ence which the women treasured
was this - “Human hotties may
hold the medicine we need, but
the Father’s hand measures the
dose”. Mrs. Moore conducted an
impressive consecration service to
complete the first session. ।
At six-thirty, a delicious buffet
supper was served by candlelight
in the Intermediate Department
nf the church. Miss Maud King
returned thanks.

‘‘fundimentals” in education be
sides the three R's. Mrs. Sarah
Campbell Caldwell, president of
the National Education Associat
ion expressed the appreciation
of American teachers for tihe
faith in them that has been ex
pressed often by the PTA, and
re-emphasized her belief that
teachers are a conscientious gr
oup trying to do their best for
American children.
“The public school began as
an extension of the home and of
family life; parents are still tea
chers. The education of children
is the business of ors us all. Par
ents have in no way abdicated
their responsibility. The home
reinforces the. work of the school
still". This co-operative effort is
one of the greatest thinggs about
American education. The schools
cannot be Godless unless homes
I become irreligious. People who
, are making accusations about our
schools cannot be thinking clear
ly. They are indicting themselves
1 and their homes when they indict
the schools, for ours is a joint
enterprise. ”
Mrs. Caldwell said about loyal
ty oaths. “Repeating nf aloyalty
I oath of the repetition of a form
ula as laid down by the fearful
r suspicions should not be a
tqst for fitness in the teaching
profession." She pointed nut that
those who were not loyal would
not hesitate at taking such an
oath, and that it was no sure

American schools.
She deplored the face that
widespread intolerance in the
world today is tearing peoples
apart, and said that education
is the ggood right hand nf dem
ocracy, but ignorance is an ally
nf slave drivers.
“Our struggle in the United
States just now is not only to
provide adequate schools for all
boys and girls, hut tn provide
and maintain a climate which
is good for thinking in all areas
of human investigation. Evil
forces are threatening us from
outside and are focusing on the
weaklings and the vicious in
their unscruplus attempts to
divide us, to frighten us mt.o
surendering our confidence and
our faith in one another. If we
lose this faith we wil lose the
advantages of free education and
self government.’’

let others know how much God
has meant to me.
God has meant an awful lot to
me. He has blessed me. He has

of the number of churches in

have. Think of the work that
these people do. Think of the

on us as a reward for this. We

no terrible extremes. We have
