ERS ANNUAL SERMON ^ * At the Closing of Louisburg College on Sunday At meinodli! Ihurcit. HON B N PAGE DELIVERS AN NUAL ADDRESS. Rev. C. K. Proctor Preaches Sermon to Y. W. C. A.?Exercise? of a High Order and Largely Attended?Many Out of Town Visitors. Possibly one of the best sermon! that has been delivered In Loulaburg In many years was that ny Rev. J. E a Abernethy, of Monroe, at the Meth odist church Sunday morning at the beginning of the closing exercises of the Louisburg Female College, which j have -been claiming the attention of our people and many vlaltors the past week, This is the first session under the new President Rer/P. 8. Love, who has proven to be a most efficient official and through his Jeadorshlp the college continues to grow in strength and popularity. ^ Tajclng his text from Phllllppians 4-8 "Finally, brethren, whatsover things are honest. \{hatftoever things are just, whatsoy^r things are pure, whatsoever things are W>v?ly, whatso ever things are of good report. If thefe be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." the speaker held his audience at rapt at tention while he delivei*ed a master piece which was enjoyed by the large ; rmber present to the fullest. "The pavers of thought are God's greatest gif to man" declared the speaker in preparing his foundation for his sub ject which was "The laws of charac ter." "The world with all its beau ties of nature and wonders of life are the expressions of God's thought, as Is also the creation of man" while the poets, arts and great works of all kinds are the thoughts of men. Thus impressing his hearers with the idea (hat thought was the fundamental ele ment In a real and true life. He says there are just five laws of character. The first being "as we think we are" showing that whichever channel we allow our thought to drift such will be the life we live. "For- instance said the speaker .the reason the chur ches rule against ragtime entertain ment is that it produces ragtime char acters." In answer to the critics of the smallness of religion he says "We may go as far in religion as truth goes, as far as honesty goes, as far as virtur goes. Does anyone wish to go farther?" "As we are we see." the second law was explained- in. part "that In order to see beauty 'we must have beauty ln^our life." which is the stepping stone to enoying the larger life in his third law "as we see we enjoy." "Life without Joy is no life at all" he declared in emphasizing his ?fourth law, "aH wo enjuy vie live " His fifth law wr.s "as we live here we will live forever." Which bore out his general theme that thoughts formed character and character fixes destiny. It wag. a beautiful plea to the young ladies to guard their thoughts well that they may serve their Master and that their live* may be more useful, and happier thereby It was at the night service also at j the Methodist church that the large audionce was greeted by a most inter- ' eating and instructive sermon deliver- j ed by Rev. C. K. Proctor, of Selma, j to the young womens christian asso-. t ion of the college. He took his text J from John 5-7, "'Sir, I have no ono. when the water is troubled, to take me down into the pooh" His theme was to see the things that needs being done I and do them_l The statement in his i text was taken from a bibllcaj scene ! wherein Christ visited a gathering of I sufferers at a pool the waters of which ' had a reputation of healing the afflict ed when in a troubled condition. At this time thQ Master saw a man who I presented a' pitiful expression, and : he approached him asking him if he i would be i^>ode whole, whereupon the i ^answer was given as In the"text, and ' the Master hadehimarig^^?jtfMbM*!i l)ecljyHl(0B?tt?0^flWPW^tbings that [ ?fftners do not is the Important thing in life declared the speaker who im- j pressed his hearers that he was thor oughly familiar with his theme and ; presented some real true and forceful \ pictures in pointing out the necessity , of doing the things that need to be done. "The Master expects us to go i out Into life and introduce others to j him" and the speaker pointed out the i "way in which the Y. W. C. A. was I doing a great work. In his appeal to ! the young ladies he said "the world's ' cry today is for you and for me to' prepare. A call that urges us to do| not that which needs to bo done. At each of these services special music was rendered by a select choir,' which added much to the occasions. The next feature on the programme was one that isalways enjoyed by our people. Although mpved up to one of ihe first features the Annual Con cert whW-h is n presont:rtion of the music and expression pupils, ho well ahd masterfully tutored by "Misses Nellie ('lapp and Elba Hennlnger. a large number of our people attehded one of Jhe moat Interesting and en tertaining program on Monday even ing In the College Chapel that has been given here In many yeatB.

It j was pronounced one of the greatest) successes of the years and a synopsis of the play and characters follow: Earth groplnghcrwav^^jjfl^ja* who may light again her Torch to guide j the feet of mankind. Here Father Time | finds her and puzzles over the riddle of her coming. The Fates appear and at their bidding time commands his children to come to Earth's aid. The scroll of Time is then unrolled and from it come Force. Fear, Wealth. Greed, Strife. Sorrow and Democracy. 'Tis one of these must bear "Earth company along her way. The choice Is hers. O. may her choice be wise.

A. p. "Wilcox, now of Ckrfdsboro, who for more than an hour |?ld>the audience as if by magic in his 4iff5rent pictures of the present world Qtfiiggle across the sea. He declared he was glad that we had a President whp?was man enough to go to New York, Philadelphia and Boston and say that the time had now come for force, more force and still more force until Germany was whipped back into the hell from which she came four years ago. "I am glad the United States fi nally decided to get into this scrap" he said and added that "Our Nation shall not be the yellow dog among the nations." In speaking of the part America is playing in the conflict he torfk occasion to pay a pretty tribute to Hon. Josepbus Daniels saying "he has made the best Secretary of the Na vy the country has ever had." 'This is no day for the slacker", declared the speaker, in explaining the necessity for one' to not only do their bit but their level best. He made a straight from the shoulder talk telling those In his hearing that what you have done will be like an insignificant drop in the bucket, be fore this war Is over." "I am not sor ry for the boy who has to go to France" said Mr. Wilcox, "but I am sorry for the one who stays at home and does nothing.'* "The time of judgment is coming, surely coming when the boys will be returning home and when confronted by them with the question "what have you done." what will be your answer. I am truly sor ry for the one who has to answer, nothing. After making many con trasts with the methods and practice of the Allies and the" Germans he call ed for contributions, when they were called out so fast that additional hein. was furnished the secretary to take the names.

Although a large number who wait ed In the court room on Friday morn ing to see what would happen when the Commissioners, who, It was under stood, were ordered to appear at this time to consider the grand Jury's re port, presented themselves, were dis appointed, the meeting was had at one o'clock with Solicitor Norris. This was a private meeting with the Com mlSRoncra and Mr. Norris, however, we are informed that the solicitor ex plained to the Board that ?he court nor the grand jury had no desire to cause them embarrassment, but that the conditions at the county home 1 were such that they needed immediate action. The entire situation wa^ gone over and the Commissioners decided to Jbjegin at once to bulty >arracades for the inmates who arcttqncontroU&blft that segregation botb^aai'lo sexes as well >&s- races, may be, effected. Chairman J. D. Alston? of the Board gives out the following statement: ? The commissioners at a call meet ing to consider conditions at the coun ty home adopted the following reso lutions: ''First that the would pro treed to use heavy wire around two of the buildings so as to be able to lock up the male and female inmates who fere Uncontrollable and mentally off* Also to do as early as possible every thing that can be done to improve the sanitary conditions. The Board feels that we should put more force behind our applications to get our insane in the asylum as we don't feel that they should be sent to the county home as we feel the home was intended for the unfortunate good old people. The Board appreciated the action the grand Jury took as we feel, that it wasn't a personal matter but a-matter that we all are deeply Interested in and in tend to better conditions from a sani tary and moral standpoint. J. D. Alston. Chairman. A member of the grand jury speak ing to the editor since the report was published suggested that the commis sioners tarn the county home farm over to the County Farm Demonstra tor to be run on the latest .improved methods for the benefit of the farmers over the county who really want to learn how to make more on their farms, and the county financially, and thereby give the Superintendent his full time to look after the Inmates, to gether with the necessary assistance. This is a splendid idea to our way of ~>ceing and we believe would be more economical than the present method. The Information that the Commis sioners will begin to correct the con ditions at the County Home at once and push them to completion, will be gladly leicived Uy ^very individual in the county.
