Sanatorium at Carlsbad, Texas.
Mrs. John Perry was placed on a

Jack had just started- down a ra-

when the steering wheel came off.
The car crossed a two or three foot
ditch, went through the fence and
then overturned. Jack stayed with

xoadir-g was Matt. 4:23-25. “He went
about teaching, preaching, healing.”
After inspiring comments on the
busy life of Christ, Mrs. Smith called
on Mrs. Glenn Gamel for the first
paper.
“Out of Bondage” dealt with a
short description of the negro home
life in his lonely cabin without the
advantages of education to lift him
above his circumstances. Mrs. Gamel
went on to tell of the establishment
of Christian institutions of learning
whose purpose is to teach the negro
how to labor to advantage and make
themselves more useful to themselves
and others.
Mrs. Clinton Perry brought us the
astojunding fact that one man in
twelve in the U. S. is a negro, thus
we can readily see a need for negro
leadership. This need has been par-
tially met by the establishment of
three schools of which we are justly
proud. The Southern Christian In-
stitute started its work in 1881 in
Edwards, Miss. This school has turn-
ed out a greater part of the teachers
and preachers in other negro schools.
Piemont Christian Institute opened
the first Monday in October, 1900 in
Virginia. This school has aided ma-
terially in improving the homes and
home conditions of the negro. The
third of our schools was founded in
1914 in Hawkins and is called Jarvis
Christian College in honor of Major
and Mrs. J. J. Jarvis, who gave the
500 acres of land on which the school
is built. This land is used in teach-
ing the negro improved farming meth-
ods and aids the school in being self-
supporting. These institutes are
pointing the way to a new day for
the American negro.
“By their fruits ye shall know
them.” Mrs. Bozarth -gave “The
Roll of Honor,” pointing out the
worthy men and women who had
graduated from Christian schools. It
is through these splendid negro char-
acters that we test the usefulness of
the institutions, and it is a privilege
to have a part in building Christian
characters such as these school re-

Roll Call this year,” the campaign
leader said, “I am convinced Lam-
pasas county’s membership goal care
be reached or exceeded in a wvch
briefer period. For many years, and
particularly during the economic de-
pression, the outstanding performance--
of this humanitarian organization
has become common knowledge. Any
results other than a swift, success-
ful campaign are inconceivable when-
we realize how much the existence;
of the Red Cross means to this cout-
munity, state and nation-”1
The Roll Call chairman added that:

rying the organization’s message to
