COBB COUNTY CHAPTER
. AMERICAN RED CROSS
In the closing chapter of Arthur
Guy Empey's “Over the Té)p" he
writes, “And I can’t help saying
that the doctors, sisters, and nurses
in the English hospitals, are angels
on earth. I love them all and can
never repay the care and kindness
shown me. For the rest of my life
‘the Red Cross wiil be the symbol of
iFaith, Hope, and Charity.”
On the 4th day of October there
was a monster Red Cross parade in
New York. There were over 25,000
Red Cross nurses and workers in the
parade, which was headed by John
Philip Sousa, and his Great Lakes
Military Band Floats on which were
minature reproductions of the na
vy, were accompanied by hundreds
of sailors and marines.
Roll of Honor.
There were 18 hospital garments
laundered during the week by Carrie.
Trippe, Lizzie Graham, and Lucile
Leslie. Garments have been given out
to others and as soon as they are
turned in the names of those doing
the work will be published. It is the
desire of the local Branch that the
articles sent from Marietta shall be
as nearly perfect as it is possible to
have them, from the standpoint of
materials, workmanship, laundering
and packing.
New Members of the Marietta Branch
Mrs. W. A. DuPre, Mrs. Bernard
Awtrey, Miss Katie Lou Jackson.
! Sweaters.
Forty-two sweaters have been giv
en out to knitters, and ten have been
returned finished,
Knitters who desire to make sweat
ers are requested to register before
the next wool arrives. Wool for six
sweaters is still on hand, and can be
secured from Mrs. Graham. by any
one who has already registered.
There are twenty-six who have regis
tered who have not applied for the
wool, as we have not enough wool
in this shipment \to supply all who
have registered it is a case of “first
come first served”. We hope .o
have another shipment of wool very
soon.
The largest number of garments
made by one individual member of
the Marietta Branch is the 16 hospi
tal shirts made by Mrs. L. B. Robe
son,
Will every one in Marietta who has
knitted a sweater for a soldier or
sailor please send name and number
of sweaters knit to Mrs. Graham,
as we are anxious to publish a list
of the sweaters furnished by private
purchase as well as those for which
wool was supplied. We feel sure that
the list will be a long and interesting
one.
Letters received by those who have
sent sweaters show great appreciation
ofr them, and most of the writers
express the wish that all ‘‘the boys
had a sweater like mine.”
BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS.
There was no sermon at the First
Baptist Church Sunday. The pastor
read the church covenant and the Ar
ticles of Faith after which the com
munion service was held.
Mr. J. H. Hawkins conducted the
Bible Quiz at the B. ¥. P. U. and
Mr. Tate McLain’s group led in the
exercises. )
The attendance at the midweek
prayer service is still increasing. Over
thirty of those present had their Bi
bles with them lazit~ Wednesday ev
ening. Visitors are gladly welcomed
to these services.
WORKERS' CONFERENCE.
The worker's conference of the
Presbyterian Sunday School had its
second meeting in the lecture room of
the “¢hurch Friday evening at seven
thirty, and was led by the Superin
tendent, Mr. George F. Montgomery.
The subject under discussion was
“What I would do if I were a Sunday
School teacher.” The leader gave
some very profitable ideas of what
the teachers should do, such as mak
ing the children bring their Bibles to
Sunday School, learn their lessons,
give entertainments for them in or
der to bring them clcser together and
several other ideas. Dr. Patton speke
of the teachers being thoroughly pre
pared before coming to their classes
and Mrs. Campbell Wallace added
that they should talk it~ over with
God before trying to teach. Mr.
Roberson who is engaged by the
church to organize these worker’s
conferences, came down from Car
tersville to be present, and gave some
splendid ideas. The. conference de
cided to help a little sick boy of the
church who had no money to help
himself. Then the question was tak
en up, that of adding to the Sunday
School room. This is to be taken up
before the sessions of the church at
their next meeting.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
THE NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR
r WOMAN’S SERVICE, “FOR GOD
.~ —FOR COUNTRY—FOR HOME”
The N. L. W. S. is the National
organization which “broke the trail”
with .an Emergency program— in
which all women’s organization in
the country could co-operate for
war service.
America is in the world. war—the
men of the country are doing their
part by entering our armies and sub
seribing to the Liberty Bonds.
The women are doimg and must
do THEIR part in all kind of war
service.
We are fighting because we found:
That in no other age of the world’s
history, has any civilized people ever
killed unarmed neutrals traveling on
the seas. It was too brutal even for
the middle ages.
Yet Germany did this!
We found that Germany’s plan was
to crush each great country in turn,
in Europe first, and then do as she
liked with us.
We found that if we did not fight
with' the Allies and help them win,
the Allies would be beaten and we
would have to figzht Germany alone.
Therefore we fight, not because we
hate the people of Germany, but
because the world cannot be ‘“safe
for democracy’” while a few men can
force battle and death on all man
kind. We are fighting that we may
win peace and happiness for our
selves and the world. |
~ The winning of the war quickly
therefore concerns every man, wo
man and child. i R
The struggle has been going on
long enough to bring home to the
people of Europe what the German
purposé@® and methods are, but here
in this country in our fancied securi
ty, the long distance from the battle
fields dulls our imagination and dulls
us to a feeling of safety.
We feel, “Oh well, what has not
happened; cannot happen”.
Did we ever imagine that Germany
would pursue a campaign of ruthless
ness and barbarity thru submarine
warfare? Did we ever fmagine that
Germany could and would distroy
churches, cathegdrals and homes, raze
and olliterate everything needed to
support life, poison wells, and maim
the inhabitants of a conquered coun
try? Did we ever imagine that Ger
many-would thrust into slavery men,
women and young girls?
Yet she has done all of these!
Why should it be so difficult for
us to imagine that Germany may
defeat the Allies, and in command
of the seas, invade this country? How
would you like to pay tribute to the
German Kaiser, have the ones you
love best droop and die under the
lash of the German Government and
Have the pursuit of happiness denied
to you? ‘
Today the nation is in peril! YOU
are called to service! The time for
talk is past—YOU must act.
That there may be no misunder
standing as to the difference in the
functions of the N. L. for W. S. and.
the Council of National Defense, leti
me say that they in no wise overlap,
the work of the latter being to act
in an advisatory capacity, and as
a clearing house in regard to wo
men’s organizations, while that of |
the former, the N. L. for W. S. (for
which there are no dues or member
ship fees) is to engage in actual ser
vice such as to prepare every woman
to take up an occupation in times of
emergency by establishing classes in
stenography, telegraphy, X-ray and
motor driving. They do Over Seas
Relief work, knit sweaters, make
trench candles, etc., for our boys
“over there.”
Before many weeks it is possible
that we shall have a number of sol-

phases of missionary work.

A TOAST TO THE FLAG.
Here’s to the Red of it— '
There’s not a shred of it,
No, nor a shred of g’t,
In all the‘ spread of it,
From foot to head
But heroes bled for it
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious bloed shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it,—
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it,
Through day and night
Womanhood’s care for it
Made manhood’s dare for it
Purity’s prayer for it
Keep it so white.
Here’s to the Blue of it—
He‘ivenly view of it,
Star-Spangled hue to it,
Honesty’s due of it
Constant *and true,
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Here’s to the soul of it,
Red White and Blue.
