PHRIS1N [MR
UURRENI LVEMIS
As the Endeavorers walked into
their meeting room last Sunday ev
ening at 5:45 they found the black
board, table and 'chairs completely
rearranged. The first thing that at¬
tracted their attention was a large
rainbow in the midst of some clouds,
drawn on the blackboard with the
words beneath: "Every cloud will
wear a rainbow if your heart, keeps
right. ' * As they seated themselves,
they noticed that the chairs were
placed in the form of a rainbow.
What did all this mean? A rainbow
meeting! Why? Because the topic un
der discussion was Happiness—what
Jesus taught about Happiness. The
special song for this service was,
“If Your Heart Keeps Right” and
was first played over by the pianist,
then whistled by the. Endeavorers
and after that the words,were sung.
During the program, at the monthly
consecration service the pledge is
repeated in concert and the roll call¬
ed. Instead of the names being called
by the secretary, a verse was read
for each member, to which he re
sponded with some comment. Each
verse was a saying of Christ regard¬
ing happiness.
The leader spoke of the signifi¬
cance of the rainbow and of the
fabled pot of gold at is end. The
end of the rainbow is fleeting and
gradually fades from the view of
the seeker for the pot of gold, if in¬
deed there is a seeker.
Just so it is for the seeker of hap¬
piness in the pleasures of this world,
apart from God and His righteous
ness. But with the Christian it is dif¬
ferent and to illustrate this a “pot
of gold” was placed on the table at
the end of the rainbow. In a small
golden jar partially filled with small
bits of rainbpw colored crepe paper
were found over a dozen “gold nug¬
gets” made out of gold paper. Each
one present was asked to take one of
these “happiness nuggets” which was
found to contain, tightly folded, a
quotation bearing on the topic. Fol¬
lowing the reading of these quota¬
tions, a few minutes were given in
closing for an experience meeting
and each one told of some way in
which they had found happiness or
had been made happy by someone
else. After singing that beautiful
song, 4C Every Cloud Has a Silver
Lining” the meeting concluded i
was
by repeating the Mizpah benediction.
The president has charge of the cort^
secration services the first Sunday
in each month and splendid programs!
are prepared for each Sunday church.! night i
at 5:45 at the Presbyterian
Visitors are always welcome.
On Friday mght, March 7th the j
Christian monthly business Endeavorers meeting will and[social have their j
at the Presbyterian church. On ac-j
count of the Bible class from 7:30j
to 8:30 the business meeting will be -,
gin at 6:30 and last about an hour, j
The social will be held immediately,
after the Bible class is dismissed at I
8:30. Several matters of importance i
will come before the society in the
business meeting.
At 8:30 sharp the fun begins. The
social committee is planning a calen¬
dar social and each month will be
represented by an Endeavorer. Time
is going to move fast at this social
as a whole year’s fun will be packed
into one hour. Christian Endeavorers
know how to have a good time, as
C. E. also stands for Consecrated
Enthusiasm.

SOUTHERN TRAINMEN GET
CHANCE TO EARN BONUS
Washington, D. C., March.—A. new
principle of cooperative effort in the
relations of railways with their em¬
ployees was introduced in the agree¬
ment of the Southern Railway Sys¬
tem with its conductors, train and
yard men, announced by Vice-Presi¬
dent H. W. Miller, in charge of op¬
eration of the Southern, effective
March 1.
The agreement establishes an addi¬
tional community of interest between
the Southern and its train operatives.
The men are given the opportunity
to earn a bonus Through increased
efficiency by decreasing expenses
which are directly under their con¬
trol.
The agreement covers a period of
three years with an increase of ap¬
proximately five percent in the base
rates of pay for the entire period
and a bonus for the second and third
year, dependant upon the degree of
efficiency reached by the train em¬
ployees.
The bonus is to be gauged by an
agreed ratio of expense of train op¬
eration to gross revenue. In this way,
the Southern and the train em
ployees will share in the benefits j
arising from increased efficiency and j
the control of such expenses as are j j
to a great extent in the hands of the
men.

DR. TRALLE’S POEM
(Published by Request).
Dr. H. E. Tralle of New York, and
Miss Myra Batchelder of Atlanta,
visited Fort Valley the first Satur¬
day in February in the interest of
Sunday school work. Both gave in¬
spiring addresses concerning the
Daily Vocation Bible School. The
Sunday School movement appeals to
all who love the child, and there is
no greater opportunity open to us,
where the ideas implanted in a
child’s lip may come to fruition in a
beautiful well-rounded character. Let
us help shape these little lives for
tomorrow
Dr. Tralle is a man Who has given
years of study to Sunday School
needs, methods and the needs of the
child; contributing books dealing
with the different phases of this
work. His address Saturday night
was inspiring and helpful and he be¬
gan it with the following poem of
which he is the author. By request
he permits us to pass it on to other
Sunday School workers.
From Whence Geniuses
From whence come, tell me do gen¬
iuses spring,
The ones who cause the world to
swing?
They come from the crowds, and not
from the clouds.
What magic touch aroused their
souls,
And urged them on to worthy goals?
A mother’s wise love inspired above.
Who fanned the sparks of genius
there
And made it burn so bright and fair?
A teacher with skill to stir and to
thrill.
How chance they to be known to
fame,
And called throughout the world by
name?
They’ve learned how to work and
never to shirk.
How do they reach the glorious
heights?
How do they win the world’s great
fights?
Achieved through their pluck and
not any luck.
H. E. Tralle.

W. M. S. GIVE SHOWER
FOR MRS. JARED BULL
On Tuesday evening at eight
o’clock the members of the Business
Women’s Group of the Methodist
Missionary Society gave a shower
party at the home of Mrs. M. T. Wise
for Mrs. Jared Bull; a recent bride.
The home was beautifully decorated
with palms, ferns, and white carna¬
tions, in true wedding party effect.
As soon as the guests were assem¬
bled they were each presented with
a wedding bell of white paper and
requested to write a verse on this
embodying their good wishes for the
young couple. When the verses were
all written, the bells were tied to
with white satin ribbon and
book presented to the bride. The
of the various verses caused
good-natured merriment.
After the reading of the “bride’s
a lovely salad course was serv
and just at the conclusion the
of the doorbell signaled a
for “Miss Askins.” Little Miss
Carithers then entered, dress
as a special delivery boy, and
a box bigger than herself,
she delivered to the bride. This

and her presence and support

SUNDAY SCHOOL OBSERVES
MISS JOE ROYAL’S BIRTHDAY
An interesting feature of the Sun¬
day morning service at the Methodist
Sunday school was the exercises in
honor of Miss Joe Royal’s birthday.
u Miss Joe” is the oldest member in
point of service, having taught con¬
tinuously for 54 years. Although she
has reached the seventy seventh mile¬
stone in the pathway of life she is
still on the job as a Sudnay school
teacher being up to date, alive and
progressive as to her methods.
Her classroom is one of the best
equipped in the church, and her pu¬
pils show careful training, having
commandments, books of the Bi
ble, Apostle’s Creed, and some of the
Psalms at their tongues’ ends.
Just a few months ago she had a
mothers’ meeting, inviting the moth¬
ers of hrer pupils to come see the
progress their children had made, and
these mothers were delighted with
the work their children had done.
Many prominent men of Fort Val¬
ley have been members of Miss Joe’s
class at various times and they testi¬
fy to the good influence of her
teachings. There is a minister of
great usefulness who attributes his
first steps towards God to this faith¬
ful teacher.
Old age is a beautiful state when
