Sarah Embry Harrison

edit

Sarah Embra Harrison (1874–1935) in 1920 created a ministry of hospitality in Danville, Virginia, dedicated to transients and traveling sales people (mostly men at the time), in order to facilitate their church attendance, and provide them with Sunday meals and other social outlets. The outreach, which took place in the midst of the Roaring Twenties, eventually helped over 4,000 people in its first seven years.

Family

edit

Harrison was the third of ten children, and eldest daughter, born to John Hartwell Harrison and wife Anna Mayo (né Carrington). Her father was a member of the Harrison family of Virginia. His great great grandfather was Benjamin Harrison V. Her mother was a descendant of Judge Paul Carrington. Sarah’s childhood home was at the Wigwam (Chula, Va.) in Amelia County, Va. Her father was a farmer and also a Baptist minister.[2]

By 1920, Sarah was a resident of Danville, Virginia. She followed her eldest brother, Isaac Carrington Harrison, to Danville after he established his medical practice there in 1910.[2]

The "Pass it On Club"

edit

On an October Sunday in 1920, Harrison was having dinner with several female friends in a popular hotel in Danville after attending church. When they finished their meal, the hostess asked Harrison if she would like to play and sing a few songs, which she agreed to do. As the ladies proceeded through the lobby, and into the hotel parlor, Harrison noticed a number of transients and traveling salesmen, who were visibly contending with the monotony of spending Sunday in a strange town. She thought to herself, "How they must hate their Sundays here!" And she questioned whether something could be done about it.[3]

In the parlor, Harrison sat at the piano, and began to play and sing for her lady friends, but also intending her accompaniment for those in the lobby. Gradually, the men came into the parlor and were seated. After a time she stopped, and one of the men asked, "Won’t you play some more?" She continued on for an hour, playing favorite songs, as each man called out his choice. When she finally quit, she asked them, "Do any of you enjoy church services?" One of the men responded by saying that in his eight years traveling across the country, he had never been invited to church, to which the others assented.[3]

As Harrison contemplated this, she became determined to assure Sunday sojourners in Danville’s hotels got an invitation to go to church. Harrison said, "I went to several of my friends and asked them for their advice and help. Many of those I consulted said my plan was very fine, but that it wouldn't work out. 'Those men don't want to go to church. They will laugh you out of the hotel when you ask them,' they told me."

Harrison was confident in her plan, and in the people she was out to assist. She did admit to some tribulation upon her first foray to a hotel for participants. She was very surprised that all eleven of the men in her first attempt accepted her offer, and they were soon off to church in the vehicles she had arranged. According to Harrison, "One man told me that it had been the fifth time he had been to church in as many years, and three of those were for funerals. Two years later, I answered my phone to hear this man say, 'Hello, Miss Harrison, this is your charter member. I am here with several good prospects and we are rearin' to go.' He also told me he had been to church 86 times since he last saw me." [3]

Harrison continued, "I must say, we were the object of attentive eyes during the church service. I didn't mind the neighbors thinking I must be a little crazy. If ever my soul was thrilled, it certainly was the moment the first hymn started, and my group were all singing." Indeed, as they told her, most of Harrison's group were opening a hymn book for the first time. Afterwards, she invited them to her home for refreshments, where her friends had been earlier dispatched to make preparations. They made every effort to make the group feel at home, and they did. Harrison concluded, "Their spirits were clearly elevated from the cursed schedule of fate that had dumped them here for the day. With those eleven members on the roll, and some by-laws drawn up, with their promise to tell their friends of our plans, the "Pass It On Club" began to function."[3]

Harrison and her co-workers took strangers to church, and also tended to the transient sick and disconsolate. Picnics and other social gatherings were organized and an extensive library of books and magazines were made available at the hotels. The "Pass It On Club" became known to an army of traveling salesmen over the country. Harrison managed to turn many dull and lonely weekends for local travelers into periods of spiritual encouragement and wholesome entertainment and pleasure.[3]

According to author Williamson, Harrison's club register showed that every state in the nation was represented by one or more members, in addition to 27 foreign countries. Also includeded was a scrapbook with letters and cards of thanks from members, relatives, and employers. Club membership was provided free of charge, though donations were accepted.[3]
