A largo and Organized Activities Produce Results! “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business!” Not an idle question, but a direction of attention to aduty that must be performed, if we are to work out our place in the world. There is work for all to do and there is reason why every one should respond to the demand for workers. “Go work in my vineyard, there’s plenty totflo; the harv est is ripe and the laborers are few!” It is given us, as a privilege, to appreciate where best we can lend a hand to help in the great work about us. Work to do! Yes, work that will show a great result! This ought to be the best season this city ever had in the matter of church festivities; there are so many who appreci ate that it is a privilege to help in the cause of human better ment. < But a census of the church enthusiasts of this city would show that there are many who fail to appreciate what they might do toward helping in what the good church people pur pose doing. Every Sunday represents a rallying day of those who have accepted church membership and who are trying to live ideally. Keeping step with these is a privilege as well as a duty. Duty is doing what we must to avoid dropping into the class of undesirables; privilege is doing more than is expected appreciative congregation will hear him today.

It haa been charged that Chris tianity has broken down, or it would be Impossible for the nations of the Old World with all the Christian cen turies and tradition back of them to engage In such an awful struggle. If here in the Western World the Chris tian people as a whole take kindly to the president’s (Till to prayer and sup plication, it mighf in a measure, at least, offset the charge.

Duty is recognizing a necessity of action; privilege is striving w r here the work will make life brighter and better for others. Duty is going the first mile; privilege is going the second. has a moral responsibility for affiliation with some one of the churches; helping in its activities and joining with others in seeing that the church work is kept up and made effective. ' Privilege is taking the church work with enthusiasm, en joying what it requires of us, boosting its membership, ex plaining enthusiastically its advantages, and showing in our lives the privilege it is. Every time you see one of the pastors of this city or hear a church bell ring, you should be reminded of your duty; when you respond cheerfully and wilingly, you accept a privilege. * f We may start as a duty but it becomes a privilege to do it. The work of the churches needs everyone helping; needs each individual working for the good of* the whole com munity. Tomorrow’s church bells ring out your name ! Will you hear it? Rev. D. L Camak, Founder of “A Half-Time School,” is at Asbury Methodist Church The World’s Work for August car ried an interesting story of "A Whole- Hearted Half-Time School,” which was of special Importance to the mill man agers and workers of Augusta, At that time It was not thought that one of the “half-time schools” which grew out of the Charlotte, N., C. experi ment would have a representative at an early date in this city. Yet it is true that Rev. D. E. Camak, the found er and president of the “Textile Indus trial Institute, ’* Spartanburg, S. C„ has visited one of the Augusta churches and addressed a packed bouse. The idea of a "half-time industrial school"’ is in a measure new. The first one to work successfully was founded by Rev. J. A. Baldwin, at Charlotte, N. C., about three and a half miles from the city. The site comprises 278 Vi acres of land. The institution bears the name of the Pied mont Industrial School. It is char tered by the legislature of the state as a stock company. The first build ing was completed In December, 1903. The school opened in January with 11 pupils. Successful. Aside from difficulties in locating and building the home for the school, it was soon evident that the expenses, the nominal sum of $l5O, would be prohibitive. The founder undertook to raise one-third of the amount and let the pupils work out the remainder. The Hoskins Cotton Mills undertook to employ those Mho wished to work out their expenses. From the begin ning this was suecesfsul. It was to this school that Rev. D. E. Camak, eager to do something for the boys and girls against whom pov erty barred the way to an education, turned for information and instruc tion. He spent one year at the school and returned to Spartanburg where he located the Textile Industrial In stitute. Rev. Mr. Camak is an interesting personality and has done much to solve the problem of education among the cotton mill people. His school is now cream and cakes were served for re freshments. Many expressed them selves as having had a delightful evening. The Ladies’ Aid Society was In charge.. DR. W. B. DILLARD WILL ADDRESS ST. LUKE BARACA The St. Luke Baraca Class Will be addressed this afternoon at 3:30 by Dr. W. B. Dill lard, pastor of St. James’ Methodist church. This address is looked forward to with much pleasure, for Dr. Dillard always has something of interest to say to young men. The address delivered last Sunday by Mr. C. C. Teague has injected new life into this class. Each member is striving harder than ever to prove of some benefit to each brother mem bers. The attendance last Sunday was fine. The members of this class, realizing the opportunity of building up their class in the fall, have organized a fall campaign for new members. Indeed, the members of this class have the “get another member” spirit. Strangers will always find a cordial welcome at this class. Corner St. Luke and Crawford avenue. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 incorporated under the laws of South Carolina. Its mission in the world is to reach the people at home and fit them for life among their fellows; to fit and train community leader* for cotton mill towns. The first session of the school was conducted in a tene ment loaned by the Spartanburg Mills. Mr. Camak states that the School Will soon occupy a $25,000 plant which is the t forerunner of others of similar type. There seems to be nothing in the way to prevent the school from becoming one of great importance. Best Element Appeal. It makes a special appeal to the best element among the cotton mill operatives. The morals of the school are very high. They govern them selves and disciplinary difficulties are almost unknown. Ail students are re quired to work at least half time, and a large part of the student body is made up of young womep. The spirit of true religion permeates the student body. These students come from many surrounding counties, there being four teen counties represented at the last session. The pupils board at the school. All things are free save board. This expense ie met by the work of the student. This makes it possible for all ambitious young people and men and women of advanced years to get an education. It might be said here that the school prepares for col lege. It has been intimated that a simi lar work will be undertaken here at the right time’- In a- city with such a large industrial population, it would be an easy matter to run a school of this class with great success. The one thing necessary for the heads of our industrial enterprises to learn is that brain will get a better result than brawn; that It is better to have the man the master of the machine than that the machine should be master of the man. If such a school should be opened here at any time it ought to meet with :.e approval of every busi ness enterprise in town and meet with success from the beginning. CONTINUE SPECIAL MUSIC AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN Musical Praise Service From 8:10 Till 8:30 Every Sunday Evening, Then Sermon On account of the coot and damp weather the Sunday evening services at the First Presbyterian church will he held within the church instead of on the Lawn. So helpful and attrac tive have been the open air services through the summer that the commit tee in charge have decided that the same program will corrttnued through the fall and The letru tiful music rendered by*the orchestra and piano chorus choir will be sup plemented by the fine pipe organ in the church, which will make it even more beautiful that it was in the open. Then too, music always sounds better in a building than out. This was shown last Sunday evening when the great congregation sang the old and well loved songa with mighty volume. The musical praise service will be gin at 8:10. t>r. Sevier will at 8:SO. All seats are free. Ushers will be at the door. ->.
