Mr. Editor: Your many subscribers
at this place will no doubt like to read
this little saying of some of them.
There were two splendid programs
rendered at both churches Thanksgiving

churches, A. M. E. and Baptist. It
snowed, but this did not stop Bev.
Bhodes to come and spend half the day
with us, and returned to his church at
Salisbury the other half. Thus we real
ize we have a brave pastor, a Baptist
for true. His volunteer committee did
not shirk the work he left them. They
realized that God never leaves nor for
sakes those that put their trust in Him.
Committee: Mesdames C. Duncan, F.
Herrold, P. Smith, T. Scroggins. We all
united and praised God from whom all
blessings flow.
The family of Mrs. Isabella Moorman

Some of our boys have returned from
the camp. We welcome them home to
stay.
Miss Mary Ford spent Thanksgiving

RED CROSS IS LIKE
A SHIP OF BESCDE
Always Travels in Troubled
Waters and Answers (Every
Cry of Distress.
REST OF WORLB IS TOO BUSY
Christmas Roll Call Gives Every One
Chance to Take Part in
Rebuilding Our Broken
World.
The American Red Cross is perhaps
like nothing so much as a stanch and
loyal ship In a storm. It goes Its way
with senses tuned to catch any cry for
help. And when that cry comes, it
drives Instantly and withont fear
straight to the place of distress, in
flood and fire and disaster, just as the
ship braves the perils of tumbling
seas and hazardous rescue work. And,
again, like the ship. It STANDS BY
till those endangered are helped to
safety.
Meanwhile the rest of the world,
busy with its own problems, hurries
home during these times of storm and
stress, and draws down the blinds.
At least that is the way it has been
In the past. But now comes the Christ
mas Roll Call. And it Is a privilege,
not a pest. It has no preferences. It
plays no favorites. It makes no ex*
ceptlons. It summons every man,
woman and child in the country. It
holds out to each one the blessed op
portunity to ride on every Red Cross
tihlp of mercy, to speed with every
Red Cross train of relief that encir
cles the earth on their errands ol
mercy.
The only way for anyone to esoape
the possibility of some time having to
accept CHARITY from the Red Cross
1$ to become ONE with the Red Cross.
Tor terrible calamity may come to ut
all. The money wealth of the Belgian:
was as nothing when they were strlppec
of clothing, and food. And that feel
ing of oneness with the organization
that our men on the other side hav
had during the war was not merely
great, but was the GREATEST, factoi
In enabling the Red Cross to give the
efficient aid that it did.
Let us remember what Mrs. Mar
garet Laing, canteen worker In France
told about our boys who came out ol
the hospitals without money:
"Sometimes they would be able tt
make up a few cents between them,'
she said, "and sometimes they did no1
have anything. They would hang be
hind those who could pay. And thej
would look at the food so wistfull]
that it made one fight back the tears
The only way we could get them tc
take what they needed and craved wai
by saying: 'You know, boys, this wa«
all paid for by your own people at
home/ Then immediately their attl
tude would change and they would
say: 'Why, yes, my mother' or 'my sis
ter gives to the Red Cross.' And thei
how they would pitch in."
We are proud, we Americans. W
do not want something for nothing
And here is our glorious opportunity
to take the rest of our ""nation by tin
hand, and with all pride and dignity In
sure ourselves of our own help in tlnn
of. adversity.
This Christmas Roll Call gives every
one a chance to be a "Dollar Man.'
And most of us can be one right a|
home. For by joining the Red Crost
now and paying the dollar we becomi
as actively engaged In the great worl
as if we were giving all of our timt
to it. We are merely making our dol
lar substitute for those of us who an
too busy to give all of our time to th
Red Cross.
Some of the great achievements ol
the Red Cross have been told over an4
over, until the facts may seem old
you. But on this occasion they ar
worth telling again. We should no{
forget, for Instance, how the womes
of this nation, like our first Colonial
mothers, turned suddenly into greai
manufacturers and made garments an!
supplies worth $50,0Q0,000 last year
Nor let us forget how $111,000,000 wai
sent Into the devastated countries dur
lng the time while men and women,
giving their time for nothing, wenl
with those dollars to see that thes
were used in the way they were mosl
needed. And the American Red Crosi
sent medicines and anesthetics to th
hospitals of France when they wen
almost unobtainable, so that our boyi
and their allies might' have some re
lief from the torment of their wounds
and a chance at ultimate recovery.
There are so many things to tell
that It Is Impossible to spread th«
whole story in this limited space. Bal
each worker will know. For the let
ters that have come from the boys In
the camps "over Jiere" and from the
fields "over there" have been full ol
the reasons. Ask the mother of any
boy who was Imprisoned behind the
cruel lines where food was scarce even
for tho enemy army, but who got hia
20 pounds of biscuits, pork and beans,
cocoa and other good, wholesome
things, every week.
The roofs are at hand everywhere.
The reasons are manifest. Everyone
should become a member of the widest,
best and holiest crusade the world
has ever known. Membership In the
Red Cross should be more universal
than taxes as universal as the public
school, public opinion, or our own pub*
lie government ,4 /-j,

(Special to Bystander.)
Amidst the pleasant things of this
life also comes death and sorrow. The
funeral of Mary Ray Taylor, the wife
of Jesse Taylor, was largely attended
Thursday at the A. M. E. Church. The
life of no one was more beautifully por
trayed than hers, as a young Christian
woman, wife, and mother, by her pastor,
Rev. Harris, assisted by Bev. G. D.
Saunders.
The flu epidemic is bad in our town.
No fatal cases among our people as yet.
Miss Annie Henderson has returned
home after a four months' stay at the
Barnard Hospital in 8t. Louis, Mo., very
much improved. We are glad to have
Miss Annie home and well once more.
nTss*Cvdia Tatufh of Dalton, Mo., ac
companie'd Mrs. S. T. Pettigrew home
as her week end guest.
Miss Oletha Davis is making her home
with her aunt, Mrs. G. D. Saunders. She
is a charming little miss and we wel
come her in our young girls society.
Some of our soldier boys have re
turned home from camp, they say to
stay, which is another sign of a little
more peace on earth.
Bev. G. D. Saunders took advantage
of the "ban" being off last Sunday
and asked his church to rally. They
had been barred from having any serv
ices for nearly two months. Bev. Down
ey of Moberly, Mo., preached, as usual,
a soul stirring sermon for Rev. Saunders
at 2 p. m. The pastor continued his
services and rally. The total church
collections were $370.00. All sang
Praise God From Whom All Blessings
Flow."
Few Escape.
There are few indeed who escape hav
ing at least one cold during the winter
months, aad they are fortunate who
have but one and get throagh with it
quickly and without any serious conse
quences. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and observe the directions with
eaeh bottle, and you are likely to be one
of the fortunate ones. The worth and
merit of this remedy has been fully
proven. There are many families who
have always used it for years when
troubled with a cough or cold, and with
the very best results.
