SEVENTH STREET
CHURCH NOTES.
Sunday morning, our pastor,
Dr. R. P. Wyche, preached a
soul-stirring sermon from Mat
thew 25:14-34. His subject,
“The Awarding of Talents to
Every One According to His or
Her Ability," was beautifully
portrayed. He admonished us
to be faithful. No reward can
be greater than to hear the Mas

IN MEMORIAM.
Rev. J. E. King Entered Into
Rest Nov. 16, 1924
One year ago you left me,
dear, but not one day have you
been forgotten.
For fifty-two years we lived
together in love and harmony,
working for God and humanity.
Yours was an unselfish life.
You loved God, the Church and
those for whom you labored,
never tiring in His service.
Our Heavenly Father called
you from your labors, and I
know you are resting and en
joying peace and happiness with
your Saviour and the loved
ones gone before. We shall meet
again.
“You have gone ‘just a little
way—
At times you seem so near;
Your voice ever murmurs in my
ear;
To my duties loving presence
lend
And .with sweet ministry my
footsteps attend,
And bring my soul the luxury
of tears.
This sense of loss,
This heavy cross,
Dear Saviour, take the burden
off, I pray,
And show me heaven is but a
little way.”
Your devoted wife,
P. A. KING.
THE Y. W. C. A.
By Mrs. J. C. Bryant.
Ye Grand Order of Witches
of the Rosebud Club met
at the Y. W. C. A. Saturday
night ye 31st night in October
to participate in the sacred
rites of Hallowe'en. The sprites
had beautifully decorated the
room of the “Y” to receive their
weird guests.
Many blood-curdling stories
were told by Ye Grand Dame
Witch O’Daniel.
The games played by sprites
and witches were terrible to
see, and mortals peeping
through the cracks held their
breath for fear they should be
ment inflicted upon them.
After the important business
of having a witching time had
been duly attended to, Little
Witche§ Mackey, Burton and
Mackey served the Order with
peanuts, ginger snaps, fruit
punch, black cat and pumpkin
candy. A ghost apple was given
each member of the Order as a
souvenir.
The witches then threw left
hind legs of rabbibts, caught in
graveyards at midnight, rattle
snake rattlers, taken from the
snake while he was asleep on
Friday the 13th, and witch oil
made from Goblins’ finger nails
into a pot to boil until next
meeting which will take place
on ye 31st night in October,
1926.

Vespers last Saturday and
Sunday evenings were conduct
ed by Rev. A. P. Corley. On
Saturday evening the profound
question found in Genesis 3:9,
was propounded. On Sunday
evening the sermon was from
St. John 4:29.
Dr. James E. Gregg, princi
pal of Hampton Institute,
Hampton, Va., was a pleasant
visitor at the chapel exercises
on last Wednesday morning.
Dr. Gregg greeted both faculty
and students with congratula
tions for the many good things
that have come to the Univer
sity and totld of the efforts that
are being put forth in the rais
ing of the endowment for
Hampton and Tuskegee Insti
tutes which has recently start
ed. The remarks were conclud
ed with the thought that en
dowments and equipments are
of small value unless there be
real character in the institution.
The younger boys of the High
School department have had
organizations for the last four
years known as the Hi-Y clubs.
These clubs are divided so as to
give each one a thorough knowl
edge is their purpose, which
is the building of character. On
last Saturday a “Setting-up Con
ference" was held for the boys
in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, con
ducted by Mr. Fesperman of the
Y. M. C. A., of the city (white),
and Mr. Shelton also of the Y.
M. C. A. These clubs are stu
dying a book, “An Older Boys’
Problem,” which is very inter
esting in its scope and aim.
The literary societies in the
High School are doing good
work. Their meetings are
much like those held once in the
forums of ancient times. The
college is reviving the old spir
it of the Mattoon and soon the
Clariosophic Estate will ring
out in debate and orations.
The Sophomore class had its
annual parade last Friday. This
is a very strong class in the
college, numbering about forty,
yet the Fresmen class is about
twice as large. And it was a
real contest between the two,
for the exhibition of their
“claim to be worth.”
The football team played V.
N. i& I. I. at Roanoke today
(Thursday). The result was
0-0. The team has played four
games already; tied two, lost
one and won one.

ly of acute indigestion last Fri
day night. Mr. Roy had been
living in this city only a ve!ry
short while. He attended St.

for attendance went to Up and

The choir of St. James church
furnished music for the instal

was well attended. Plans were

FROM JETERSVILLE, VA.
Dear Editor:
Please allow space in your
valuable paper to say that we are
getting about over our field
right much of late. Some weeks
ago it pleased Almighty God to
call from labor to reward our
dear Sister Matilda Tucker.
She was a faithful member of
Allen Memorial church, lived a
Christian life and died in the
Ml triumph of the ChrisHjan
faith. She left a son who had
never accepted Christ as his
Saviour; so after the funeral
and burial of his mother, who
had him baptized when a
child, in Allen Memorial
chruch, I wrote him urging him
to accept God’s ultitmatum as
found in Isaiah 55 and God’s
love as it is found in the gift of
His Son. The young man has
been a patient in the Piedmont
Sanatorium for over a year. To
day’s mail brought me a letter
from Mr. Linwood Tucker tell
ing me that he has accepted
Christ as his Saviour.
On last Sunday we visited
Rev. Lackland, Miss Josephine
Anderson, Mrs. M. J. Wright,
Rev. and Mrs. Freeland and
Miss Annie Barrett. We found
them trying to prepare for win
ter. Miss Anderson, who suf
fered a stroke of paralysis some
years ago, is much improved.
She recognized her old school
mates and friends who motored
with me—Mrs. Shepperson,
Mrs. F. P. Wilkerson and Mrs.
Myrtle Brown. We were sorry
to find Mrs. Freeland suffering
from burns on her foot and leg.

know that more than 7,000 peo
ple of our Church do not know
about Reid Mission Sabbath
school which we style as one of
the greatest Sabbath school in
our Synod at present. It has a
young man at its head as Su
perintendent, and a better one
could not be found.
Of course this Sabbath school
was organized two weeks before
Mr. L. W. Ellis came to us from
Salisbury where he had served
as Superintendent for several
years, and had Sunday school
training in the School of Meth
ods at Charlotte for four years.
Our first opening was on Easter
Sunday, but we did not do very
much good until the third Sun
day when Mr. I. M. Martin came
to us and organized us into a
real Sunday school with a su
perintendent, secretary and
treasurer, two teachers and
twelve scholars. One week later
we were able to total our roll
to twenty-eight and to this date
forty-five. We have Cradle
Roll, Beginners, Primary, Inter
mediate, Junior, Senior and
Home Departments. We are
now holding Teachers' meet
ings and a Workers’ Conference
and these are under the leader
ship of our Superintendent.
Our first financial drive was
on October 11. At that time we
had the promise of Rev. L. J.
Melton, D. D., and Cedar Grove
congregation at 3 o’clock, but
they failed to come or send no
tice to us; but in their absence
we had a warm prayer meeting
and a short talk from our Su
perintendent, Mr. Ellis. Reports
from each department were
made as follows: Cradle Roll,
$1.61; Home Department,
$4.93; general Sunday school,
$15.46; for the day, $22.50.
We feel that we have gone
over the top. We are asking for
your prayers that God may
continue to bless us in this work
as He has in the past.
I must not forget to say
something about Mr. Love and
Mr. Henry Reid, Miss Nora
Rutherford, Mrs. Graham amd
Miss-. They
all have put their lives into the
work to see this Synday school

NOTES FROM ST. PAUL SEC
OND.
On Friday night, October 9,
we had an entertainment at
our church which was very en
joyable. There was a large
crowd and good behaviour. A
nice sum amounting to $16 was
raised. Sunday following, Oc- *
tober 11, at 3 o’clock, we had
with us Rev. J. B. Francis, of
Laurinburg, and his choir from
Silver Hill church. He came to
us with a message that was of
much interest, founded upon
Exodus 20th chapter 1st verse :
“Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.” This was indeed a
fine sermon. Everybody seems
to have enjoyed it and the choir
rendered fine music. The collec
tion was $12.00. We will be too
glad to have Rev. Francis and
his choir come again.
