"TREASURER'S REPORT
. COBB CO. RED CROSS
I.—Finances.
My records and the records of the
branch treasurers up to their last
reports to me showed a total money
handled $3,760.00. :
The generous pledges to the Red
Cross War Fund last summer amount
ed to $2,116.00. It is gratifying to
report that every dollar of this was
paid. One-fourth, $529.00, was ex
pended for materials out of which
our good women produced bandages,
sheets, shirts and others hospital
equipment. Three-fourths, $1,5687.00,
was sent on to Washington. The
fees for four life memberships at
$25 each went to Washington. From
various donations and benefits the
Chapter has received $474.00. The
funds received from dues during the
Christmas drive amount to $1,070.00.
Each branch outside of Marietta has
its share and the other share has been
remitted to headquarters.
The affairs of the Chapter have
been economically administered. All
services have been volunteer—no
pay. The amount spent for printed
forms, postage, telegraph and tele
phone is only $18.16.
All amounts due headquarters and
due branches are paid. We have
cash in the treasury $204.37 and $2OO
worth of wool just received. All of
the $204.37 belongs to Marietta.
Each branch has some funds in their
local treasury. It has been our rule
to allow each branch the full share
of their dues which we are allowed
to retain for chapter purposes.
2.—Membership.
The Chapter has 1704 members, of
whom 102 receive the Red Cross
Magazine. At present the enroll
ment in the several divisions or bran
ches of the Chapter is as follows:
Marietta 1074
Acworth 83
Kennesaw 66
Macland 80
Powder Springs 77
Roswell 151
. Smyrna 173
TOTAL 1704
New members are being added
weekly and no doubt new branches
will yet be organized.
Resignation.
It is with deepest regret that as
a part of this report I tender my
resignation as Treasurer of the Coun
ty Chapter. I regret to give up my
relation as a chapter officer (1) be
cause the relations between the chap
ter officers themselves and hetween
chapter officers and branch officers
have at all times been so cordial and
enjoyable; (2) because 1 consider
this work the greatest benevolence,
,outside the churches, that has ever
blessed a suffering humanity, and
(3) because the work is not finished
—it is really only just begun. But
other prior duties to the limit of my
time and strength force me to close
my work as treasurer with this re
port.
At my request, Mr. B. G. Brumby,
Chairman, has appointed a commit
tee to audit records and approve this
report. Faithfully yours,

THE HOLY SEASON OF LENT
The writer has been asked to give
some explanation of what Lent is and
the reason for it. We will do so in
few words.
Such a season was observed by the
Church in the earliest days. In the
second century Irenaeus in a letter
mentions this fast before Easter as a
period varying in duration in differ
ent countries. But about the middle
of the third century Arigen speaks of
it as a fixed period of the forty days
preceding Easter being thus/ conse
crated. u
Of course during this forty days is
kept in mind the forty days fasting
and temptation of Christ in the wil
derness; and during the last week,
His last week is brought more vivid
ly before His devotees. On Thurs
day before Easter, the institution of
the Lord’s Supper is commemorated ;
and Good Friday brings out clearly
the reality of the Crucifixion; and
remembering the day He lay in the
tomb, Saturday is the most solemn of
days. Now then, we are prepared
for Easter. You know there can be
no real Resurrection, if there has
been no Crucifixion and burial! It
is passing strange to observe one
without the other.
The world has in some degree a
dopted Lent, to the sacred season’s
hurt, and to the hurt of Chyristians;
because it has at times led to com
promise. Many Christians not obli
gated to do so have entered upon the
observance of the season with inter
est and earnestness, to their great
benefit, and for the good of the whole
community.
When Christians are sneered at for
keeping this Holy season in memory
of the loving sacrifice of their Mas
ter, it makes one think of the boy
who tried to say his prayers while
they flung shoes at his head; peo
ple really love or even respect one,
they will not make light of the things
that are held most sacred by that
one.
Sometimes one is perplexed as to
how to deal with a proposition which
would violate their conscience in this
regard. Surely it is enough to say:
“It is Lent; and I cannot enter into
this with you.” And one might easi
ly feel: “My reverence for my Mo
ther, the church, restrains me.”
A Season of Revival.
The Christian takes stock of spirit
ual assets. He discards that which
is valueless and harmful, and strives
to increase his true riches. There
are more opportunities for prayer
and worship; and the Gospel Message
is presented more often.
For the sake of spiritual growth,
self-denial is practiced, it may be in
food, in pleasure, or it may be in kil
ling some harmful habits that have
attached themselves. One tries to
expend more time and energy in do
ing good and to be more generous in
giving themselves and their means,
Many such things undertaken at this
time are carried on continually in
after life.
We have in mind two men who
stopped the use of tobacco one Lent,
and have never returned to it again,
tho years have passed. That is neg
ative of course, but in definite Chris
tian activity there are a multitude of

Mr. C. M. -Wilkie is putting up a

examples of this.
Some one said the other day: “I
like the idea. It is so sane and rea
sonable, and so congenial to spiritual
growth.”
Of course all obligated do not keep
Lent; and it is kept in different de
gress by different people. And there
is no command and no penalty, ex
cept within. The conscience is the
executive; and the penalty for non
observance is in the impoverishment
of the spiritual life.
The highest joys of Easter are
kept in store for him who keeps sa

memory on a higher plane.
