RANDOLPH MAN DELIVERS UNI VERSITY SERMON SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARY AN APPEAL FOR HELP JIB. J. FRANK STEED, STEEDS, WEDS MISS RUBY ASTOR CA GLE, ASBURY. A quiet but impressive wedding ceremony was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Caglo, Asbury, Dec. 22, when their daughter, Ruby, was married to Mr. J. Frank Steed. There were a number of relatives of both contracting parties present to witness the uniting of these popular young people. The marriage vows were taken in the reception room, which was decorated in Christmas colors, Rev. J. H. Stowe, Asheboro, officiating. The bride and groom were preceded to the altar by Miss Maggie Caglo, sister of the bride, and Miss Harriette Hammer, cousin of the groom, who were the only attendants Miss Katie Belle Cagle, sister of the bride, played Lohengrins wedding march and softened the melodies through the ceremony, after which the bride and groom went by automobile to the home of the latter where sumptuous supper was served. The bride is a most c ttractive young woman who has by her lovable dis position and sweet manner won a large circle -of friends. The groom is the son of the late J. W. Steed. For number of years lie lived in Arizona but on the death of his father he came home to look r.ftcr the business of the estate. The young couple have the good wishes of their many friends throughout this section of tho State DENTON NEWS. The University sermon for Decem ber was .delivered by Rev. S. S. Rob ins, a graduate of the University of North Carolina of the class of 1904 and later of Harvard University, who is now located at Kingston, Massa chusetts. Taking as his text Mat thew 19:16, "Master, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Mr. Robins showed that the Christ's ans wer to the rich young man was a progressive interpretation of His own life. "Keep the commandment," was the first answer that Jesus gave to the rich young man. This, Mr. Robins said, is the childhood stage of religion. These commandments aro the tutors which educate and guide us in our Christian life. The child's point of view is that the commandments are limitations upon pleasure and upon life. This is characteristic of the first stage of religion. The young man showed that he had passed the childhood stage of re ligion by his answer: "All these I have kept from my youth up; but what lack I yet?" Jesus answered "Go, sell all thou hast, give to the poor, and come follow me." The cen tral thing Jesus did in spying this was to tell the young man that re ligion has to do primarily with the central vocation or purpose of a man's life. This question and answer brings us to the second stage of religion and of life itself namely, youth. What is characteristic of youth? In that period man is awakening to the con aciousness of his own strength, power and personality. Youth is the great period when we realize the lower na ture that is in all of us. And yet it is also the period when M e arc retxh- ing out and asking What is there I do that is most worth while ? When Jesus gave this second ans wer to the young man, He was say ing to him "Salvation is an intro duction into the spiritual life." The last period in a man's life was expressed by Jesus in the words "Come, follow me." Religion means in the first and last place work. If in his youth a young man has faced the great issue and has decided that his life shall make for something worth while, then the last period of life.in which work predominates, will be a source of pleasure to him. In its last analysis religion in this and every other case means work. COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL LI BRARY OPEN MISS BETTS LI BRARIAN LIST OF BOOKS AVAILABLE.
