At the early morning hour services were held in the Episcopal church by the rector, Rev. Chas F. West- man, but there was no service at 1 1 o'clock and his services at this hour was given to the Jackson church. The Baptist congregation being without a pastor, many of them helped to swell the crowd at the M. E. church, where the pastor, Rev. I . D. Hayman preached at this hour. The church had been beautifully decorated with lillies, carnations and other spring flow ers and the church presented a most pleasing appearance. Special Faster music was finely rendered under the direction of Mrs. Alice B Hudson, with Mrs. L. D. Hay man organist.and the sermon which followed was directly concerned wiih the proofs of the Resurrection and fundamental proofs of the Christian religion and based on these words, "These signs shall follow them that believe" and was convincing and conclusive in its presentation. At three o'clock the beautiiul Baptist church was filled to iis ca pacity to listen to the same speaker at the impressive Easter memorial services held by the order of Knight Templar ol this district in memory of Mr. E. L. Whitehead, of En field who died on July 1 3th, of last year. A large body of Knights were present and occupied re served seats which overran ihe central tier of the church. There is something thrilling and airac- tive ever about this ancient order but never was their beliefs and standard more fully explained and exemplified than on this occasion in the observance bf their Ritual and the words spoken by the Christian leaders. Our minds were carried back to the crusades when only a brave and true Knight could receive the accolade with ilie charge. Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are hon est, whatsoever things are lovely. whatsoever things are of good re port think on these things-and do them," and men delighted to die in the name of the Holy Cross A special selected choir rendered appropriate and beautiful music, led bv Mrs. W. E. Daniel as or ganist. The evening service at the M. E. church was given over the cl.il- dren of the Bright Jewel Band of the Missionary Society and the Junior Missionary Society. The urogram under the direction of Mrs. W. T. Shaw, Mrs. Pierce Johnson and Mrs. L. C. Draper was beautifully carried out by the little folks," who entered fully into the Easter service and enjoyed by the large audience present The collection was taken to be used in the special which the children are carrying and was generous and much appreciated.

BY VIVIAN SANDERS, CLASS 1925. get to We need a new school, With a good library and a swimming pool, A big campus covered with grass, And windows without a broken glass. We need a new school with a big gymnasium, One that we can use during rain and sun, So we won't have to call off games, And other teams need not call us names. In the first grid: nons th; kid ar-- crowJjJ, They are ihick as flies when the sky is clouded, So let's get a new school, With good spacious rooms that are nice and cool. With holes in the blackboard and also the wall. And only. two water fountains in the hall, Do you think that in fifteen minutes crowds of thirsty children can a drink, Or that buuiDV boards ur holy walls are the nicest things at which blink? What is a school, without a tool, Willi winch 10 do our work, Can girls in school make bread or ever bake, Wiilioni the cook room it would lake? Wh o's ihr us? of science and chemistry, Without ajplaee 10 experiment and work out the mystery? So we need a laboratory, AnJ a new school building would tell the whole story. We are summoned in school by the ding, dong and dell, Ol an old time dinner bell, li isn't plejsam any way, So get a new sch nl with a real sch j ol bell, to welcome the coming of each new day. Old Weldon, appeal to your people's pride, Would you like for folks as by they ride, To turn up their nose and tip their hat, And say, "That's the litile red school house, down pat." Please give us your vote, And each one take noie, Of our new vim and appreciation, By making the best of our high school education. I, W. L. , No. Hanoi- Roanuke Rapids No Long.

The X'elJon Disirict Conference j held in Warrenion, April 12-14, inclusive, was a success in every respect. Rev. S. E. Mercer the new Presiding Elder, captured ihe conference and preachers and del egates were held as a man to his ready wish. He had a program which he followed as nearly as possible to the letter, and nothing was allowed to drag.

The preaching was spiritual and soul-reaching and the speeches were all io the point and much en joyed. . A memorial service in memory of Dr. Bolton, of Rich Square, and Hon. J. T.
