M. D. M* l, Rev. F. D Thomas and Dr; V. Irey-Jellie. He then introduced preacher, Rev. Walter L. Llngle Professor of Church History in Theological Seminary in Vir d-who knew Dr. Lingle, either Wly or by reputation, expected a trly sermon, and were not dis puted. He chose a text of unusual Rty “Thou art Peter, and upon ck i shall build my church, and gates of hell shall not prevail ; it” gave a scholarly and clear of four different interprota text, and took as his own “Dpon you, Peter, a man, of rock, I fctll build my God builds Hie earthly louder now than ever J»r d»jf; “Has the church “5an the ^church survive?’’ jjkta answer in the fact that urch is a Christ built church, IjBb cannot fail nor perish unless power of her divine builder perish Chrlst built and is building His h, on the foundation of apostles prophets in every age, and she it die till her work is done.

Paul w4ht from land to land antagonizing learning and the power of his day, Rome answered with sword and iiTSlt Christ’s church grew great if repeated disasters until Christ became at laBt the religion of Roman state.

The church was organized in ^Uroh, 1804, the present building was finished in July 1914 The Church is today active and making substantial progress, with a membership of 340. At the evening service Dr. Llngle l» especially to young people, sermon was an inspiring study of ot David as revealed in his tT^iiavhl, after he had served ;OWir generation “by the will of God _0a sleeps.

Dr. WiU find a warm welcome In *fd whenever he comes again. ng Us history of nearly a uuar tsr of century the Sanford Preebyte urch has been served by able rated pastors. Its present they fought to a finish The Americans DM That, Al though Outnumbered. “Our troops were overwhelm ed bjr & superiority of number but fought to a finish.” This was the official character ization of a field commander of the. American troops, who suc cessfully repulsed an enemy on slaughter in the Toni sector of Prance in' his report to head quarters. Details of the engagement, which an Associated Press cor respondentpieced together from interviews of officers and men who participated in the battle, show that the Americans stack to their gnns while the Germans were placing liquid tire, gas and almost every other conceivable device of frightfnlness on them. One of them who lay wounded in an American hospital kept his machine gun going after the chief gunner had been killed, two feet away and he himself had been wounded, thus protect ing a turn in the road known as Dead Man’s curve over which some of the American couriers passed in the face of a concen trated enemy fire. That the enemy s losses were 90 severe that he changed his mmd and was cared Of his belief that-it was going to be a walk over was indicated by his feeble artillery later. r When an entire German regi ment, reinforced by storm troops attacked the sector held by American troops near Seiche prey, General Perishing’s men fought the most serious engage ment they have as yet experi enced. The attack was made by a considerable force and indica tions showvtbat important pre parations were made for it Un usual precautions were imme diately taken along the whole sector of the front as soon as the German intention was known. An extremely hpavy hostile bom bardment with poison gas shells opened during the course of the night and lasted until 5 o’clock in the morning. At that hour the enemy in fantry dashed forward, preceded by storm troops which hod been brought to the scene especially for the attack after preliminary [ training on ground similar to the line two thoqpand yards in length and at several places the enemy succeeded in entering the Ameri can lines. They even entered and occupied Socheprey, where the Americans holding that position, offered the most stub born defence Without a mo ment’s delay, after their retire ment at Seicheprey, the Ameri cans organized, with the French, a counter-attack which was car ried out brilliantly, driving the Germans out of the village and taking a number of prisoners. The fighting did not cease until late in the afternoon. The severest encounters, oc cured in Renneres wood, where the Germans had taken a firm hold at dawn, notwithstanding the most strenuous defense by small bodies of Americans stationed there. The French and American troops joined in the counter-attack on this section of the line, eventually succeding in ousting tne enemy. The amalga mated troops worked in closest co operation and by the end of the day were able to score a complete victory and restore their lines as they were before the engagement. In this vicinity many prisoners fell into the hands of the allies, while the barbed wire and shell pitted ground was covered with German corpses. Tell them back home that we are just beginning,’’ said an American lad who was in the thick of the tight and severely wounded with shrapnel.’’ It was tine to see our men go at the Huns’ All of us who thought baseball was the great American game have changed our minds. There is only one game to keep the American flag flying—that is, kill the Huns. I got several before they got me.” I fu tiding of CoucrAte Shipyard at Wilmington is Under Way.
