“DR. X>. G. LANKFORD
SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
DB, ALVIW MARTIN KERR
PASSES AWAY
The death of Dr. Alvin Martin Kerr
was announced by Dr. Harper Monday
morning. Prof. Bennett, a personal
friend of Dr. Kerr, spoke in apprecia
tion of Dr. Kerr’s life. Dr.^Kerr wa^
for many years editor of The Serald
of Gospel Liberty,- oldest religious
paper inj the world, having been found
ed in September, 1808.' ' ’ ’
The first statement Professor Ben
nett made aboTit Dr. Kerr was ^^strile-
ing one. “He suffered more thjan any
other man I have known,he said.
He was an invalid for five years. Hard
ly a day. passed that he was free from
‘■^he nee^Be has not reeeiT-ed i^roper
recognition lor the service it lias rend
crd in the wotld,” declared T>r.'G. 0.
Lankford, piisfcor of the Bm’iington
Clmslian Chuj'ch, in his talk onSaSt’Fri-
day morning. ^‘We have li©inrd and
read much ab«ait the sculptor’'* kiiife,
the artist’s brwsh, the saldier’s word,
-and t'h€ writer’*’pen, but it eeeiaffi *th^t
the wofk of the aeedle has been -over-:
Ikooked.'^^ Dr. Laaikford mentioned vafi
VU8 kinds of neellks that render ser
vice to:mankind. Among these he men-j
tioned the sew’ing needle, the surge>oai’«
needle, the needle of'the seaman’s eom-
^p»8S, and -.the Vietittila needle of tlve
:seientist, 'Mr. Edisoo-
“’The nnike-up of these differentl
needles varWs." state^S Dr. Lankford.
‘‘‘ There are -needles of tiDod, wire, steel,
and ^old. And, then, ifhere are dif-
feareaitt ways ine3edles may 1be made. A
needle may have a sharp pftint or it may
hare -a dull ptiiait, such as tt?he knitting
needle Jias. A needle may be made
with, -withoult an eye. T^at is, the
eye may be either, open or closcd. Each
of us aire in the aataking of onr charac
ters and destiniea.- The eye must be
open and the point sharp.”
“And, now, let '«.« consider the ser
vice needles have rendered. Without
the sewing needle, tb* world would not
be well clothed. Thank how valueless
would be the sargeon ’« knife, ^f he had
no needle! The mariner’s needle has
doubtless saved many lives and untold
delay and suffering; it insures safety
upon the high seas,
art, the needle .has
tributions. Beautiful ideas are convey'
ed through masterpieces in
work as well as by the artist
And, last, think of the happiness and
inspiration the small needle of the Vic-
trola has eontributed to the world.”
R. Moses delivered a very effective
and forcible sermon on John 14:19. He
p'Tesented his thmights in a moat unique
and dramatic fashion. H. C. Hilliard
nlso spoke nt tlie same services taking
as his subject, “To Whom Shall We
Co?” During the discourse he brought |
out the need of God’s infinite presence ,
wOierever we may be. He declared that
without God we had no one on whom
tc' rely, and no one to whom w'e may
go in the time of trouble and tribula
tions. Both speakers were compliment
ed and were asked to occupy the pulpit
at the evening services. Due to the
fact that they had to return to Elon
for their classes ZMonday, they were un
able to conduct a second servi'ce.
Tlie second program was given at the
"Whitsett M. E. Church, The ■speakers
were assigned parts by the leaders.
The subject for discussion was, “Wast
ed Time.” Mr. Fred Smith, a fresh
man, spoke on, “How We Waste Our
Time.” He brought out in his discus
sion the uselessness of gossiping. The
next speaker, J. Howard Smith, talked
on, “How We M?iy Use Our Time to
the Best Advantage.'” He cited many
men w’ho had used their time in service
for their fellowman. These, he said,
had received most out of life by having
been of some service to liis neighbors.
People who are selfish never get the
best out of life. He closed by bidding
each to use tiirre wisely, thriftly, and
with purpose.
Daniel Boone w’as the third speaker
ar. the Whitsett church. He entered
into the field of Psychology on wasted
time. The meeting was a success, and
the speakers were liighly .commended.
While two other programs were being |
presented a third one was given at the |
First Christian Church of Greensboro. |
Professor Van Cleave jjresiclcd at the I
service. A. A. Dotflemyer talked on,,
“A Christian and His Friemls. ” He
brought out in his talk the need of |
right associates for one Tvho desired to :
be a Christian. j
G. 1). Underhill then spoke on, “A
Christian and His Thoughts.” He de-I
elared that a Christian must think of j
higher and noMer things if he wished |
to reach his goal. David Shepp.^rd dis- j
cussed “The Ambition of a Christian.”
He said that a Christian must have the
ambition to m^)ve on in life, and to
aspire to high things. There is no such j
thing in a Christian’s calendar as to'
standstill. To stand still is to die. He,
must have the ambition to move onward
and upward. |
The three programs were declared
'successes from beginning to end, and
every one spoke of their pleasure at
!having heard the future ministers speak. ,
