A iHessage for June Btidey
andlheii-Itusha
PERSONALLY wc don't believe
that joke about the tearful young
bride who lost so much time preparing the
split pea soup for dinner "because she had
to split the peas."
Today's brides arc cheerful not tearful.
They are home managers in fact and their
husbands are to be congratulated.
It is a real pleasure to us to serve the
Newlyweds just as wc may have served
their parents for years. We tlepcnd upon
the way wc serve new customers to make
them steady customers for all time.

The I;ev. :. D. Crouch -tsslstant
superintendent ot national missions
for the Presbyterian church gave a
brief account of his work among tho
Creoles of Southern Louisiana at the
Children's Day program rendered at
tho l-'lrst Presbyterian church S)Undu
evening at S o'clock before a large
crowd who show Interest in the pro
gram by the little folks and In the
address by tin Uev. Mr. Crouch.
The ceremony was presided over
by Mrs. Talton who was a memb"r cf
the committee that had prepared
that event. She was assisted by Mrs.
J. W. White and other women of the
chinch who had a part In the train
ing of the children. The songs reci
tation and all were well rendered and
therp were many smiles of approval
when the little tots said their speech
es. There was also a devotional e-
erclse am: in conclusion an offering
amounting to about $11.00 was tak
en for Sabbath school extension work.
A playlette entitled "How Sunday
School Came to Lone Creek was pre-
sented by some of the larger children
which showed the work of Sunday
school missionaries In remote moun-
tain districts.
Longest Street
"The Longest Street in the World."
was the subject employed by the Uev.
Mr. Croucn. His remarks were based
on a survey made under direction
of the Homo Mission Hoard ot the
Presbyterian church of a cross section
of the Mississippi delta In Southern
Louisiana. The section described is
known as Ilayou LaFourche a small
river extending from Donaldsonville
on tho Mississippi river to the gulf.
"This bayou" he said "Is perhaps
the ono described by Longefellow In
his "Cvangellne where ho pictures
the flight ot the Acadlans when they
were deported from Novla Scotia
about lfiO years ago. In this merciless
deportation these poor people were
cruelly thrust beyond tho bordeers of
Oreat llritaln's territory and left to
drift."
After reading some from "Evango-
llno describing the drifting ot the
exiles down the Ohio and the Mississ-
ippi rivors and finally landing In
Louisiana tho speaker said In part:
Kxlles IIoinesteitdiMl
"Tho exiles were given homesteads
along the bayous of this delta by the
French Government which owned this
land at that time. Here they have
lived for a century and three-quarters
In niitet and peaceful occupation In-
growing rice sugar cane corn pota-
toes and garden truck. The soil is an
alluvial formation and as rich as the
Valley of the Nile.
"Before tho great Mississippi loves
was built this bayou was the natural
outlet for the waters ot the Mississ
ippi river but upou the completion of
that great project the bayou was
closed and can no longer be used for
commercial purposes in transporting
products of the farm to New Orleans.
"The coming of the railroad and
the sugar refineries has changed the
conditions from the primitive state
of these early settlers Into prosperous
plantations and sugar refining cen-
ters. Many ot the old headrlghts have
passed down from generation to gen
eration.
"The people are French In their
nationality but are called 'Creoles "
However they are not strictly speak
ing Creoles. They speak a corrupt
French and have all the habits ot life
of the Trench peasantry the Roman
riose. dark hair and eyes and the
familiar shrug ot tho shoulders In
conversation mark them as descend-
ents of the ancient Gauls
Poverty Abounds
"The IT. S. census bureau says of
this section that It is the most dense
ly populated rural section in America.
The houses are built facing the
stream on either side. Tho roads
along the bank are good highways
and the banks are lined with large
semi-tropical trees. It Is a beautiful
section and could be made a veritable
Garden of Eden. It Is claimed there is
a house on an nverage of every 300
feet with five to the family. In this
parish there is conservatively estimat-
ed a population of 100000. Much
poverty illiteracy and 3in abounds.
The people are a simple tender-hearted
folk. One finds' a hearty response
to any effort to help them.
"Much dlfflcutly is encountered
by our workers however on account
of tthe sectarian bias and low mental-
ity. The Presbyterian church has been
slow to get Into this needy field but
has now entered with a corps of
workers. Rev. E. N. Ilorrios Himself
a native Creole with his daughter. Is
doing a valuable piece of work among
his native people. In all this vast sec-
tion there Is probably not more than
I'.OO prolestant people. This man must
travel in his little Ford the length
of this entire bayou among this vast
population ministering In the homes
when and where he finds opportunity."
