'Hi» M. p. Sunday Schoo!.
The^ attendance in our Sunday
school was 210 last Sunday, a de
crease of 36 as compared with the
pi'evious Sunday. We had hoped to
have a larger attendance than usQal,
but owing to fte seeming inclemency
of the weathei", the attendance was
no so good as we had anticipated.
The preaching service Sunday morn
ing vas well attended and our pas
tor gave us a good sermon. At the
close of the .service Bro. G. R. Ben
nett presented himself for church
membership upon profession of faith,
and was received as a member. Bro.
Bennett comes from a Methodist Pro
testant family. ...
The night service was of special
! iritjjrest to the young Ipeople, being
' Christian Endeavor raljy. A prp^'iitn
consisting of special music, both vo^
cal and instsumenial, .and an addrsss
by Dr, W. A. Harper, of Elon Col
lege, was renderei The music was
spl5ndidly rendered and the address
was listened to with "much interest.
l)r. Harper spoke for half an hour bn
“The RelaUoii of the Church to the
Young Peoplp," explaining what the
Christian EndeaVOf Society is, its ori
gin, growth and pui-pose. His address
was full of helpful ideas and sug
gestions relative to the Christian En
deavor work, and our society should
profit hy having heard such a splen
did address. The attendance at this
seri ice was unusually good, the church
auditorium being almost completely
filied.
Our special meeting begins next
Sunday mornSng. Rev. N. G. Bethea,
of Granville circuit, has been cngalged
ivS pulpit help. An effort is being put
forth to secure a singer to lead the
singing during the meeting. We are
praying for and expecting a grent re
vival of religion in our chu ad a
wonderful harvest of souls tur the
kingdom.
The Organized classes of our Sun-
’;(iav school held their business meet-
fings last Thursday night. The Junior
|pi»i!athea class served refreshmchts
|to the classes ;>t the close of tiieir
toUfir"S3 sesrioriti.
Brother Cuvry spent the greater
irt of last W'.ck in Rjindolph eoiin-
y, near Ashelicro. asvisting Rev. J.

Why Not circuit.
Miss >)rji Isley, ot Wilmington,
after spending- her vacation with her
parents hei't, ha.s re!«ni«l to her
home and resumed her duties as mu se
ij' the hospital. Miss Isley was one
of our iiest Sunday school and church
workers lierorc going to Wilmington,
!u;rf our people are alYifays glai 1o
see her.
Our third quarterly conference was
held on Tuesday night of this week.
The attendance was not as large as
we had expected, but nearly all the
officials of the church were present.
The regular routine business was
Dr. W. D. Wentherford «t Guilford
College.
Guilford College,' Sept. 17.—Dr. W.
D. Weatherford, international secre
tary of the college Y. M. C. A. work
for the south, spent yesterday at Guil
ford, deliyeririg while here his address
OK his ■ trip around the world. Dr.
Weatherford spoke very interestingly
o£ the distressing economic conditions
cxisung in China and Japan and how
these conditions were due largely to
the absence of Christianity. “One
hundred miUian Chinese lie down
hungry every night,” said Dr. Weath
erford. He showed further how the
absence of heating arrangement for
the Chinese home ^yas due not to the
lack of coal, but .to the religious, sup
erstitions which prohibited the dig
ging of the coal. Christianity is need
ed by these nations today to trans
form their bodies as well as their
souls, to recast the econojnic system
as well as. to develop the religious and
moral life o.f the peOpJp. And as a
concluding -^vord he illusti’atsd from
his experience and observation the
eagerness of the Chinese* - for the
W'estern civilization and religfion. On
one window Dr. Weatherford said hi.
noticed the sign; ^‘English taught as
fa- as the letter G," intimating that
the advertiser was able t« teach E;ig-
iith to that e.xtent. Dr. Weatherford
is always a pleasant and welcome
visitor to Guilfoiil but never before
have his messages made such a pro
found impression on the student body.
Resulting from this visit, the stu
dents are now engaged in a campaign
tc raise one dollar per .student to be
expended on the equipment of the
Y, 51. C. A. and Y. W. *C. A. confer
ence grounds at Blue Ridge. Some
thing over $1.50 has alread>’ been sub-
■stribed and the canvas rontinues. It
Us Not Into Temptation.”
A young man in a Wisconsin town
gave his heart to God and was con
certed through and through. He was
very bright, and before his conver
sion was very wild. There was a
yoiuit; lady in that towti he had been
wont to visit often. She said to a
familiar friend Of hers, when ihe
heard of his conversion, “I wonder it
he will come to our parties rioiv?”
That friend replied, “I don’t believe
he ever will, and after hearing what
he said, 1 don’t think he will play
cards any rtiore.” ‘‘I’ll bet I can.get
him to play,” said she. “I’ll bet you
CiUi't,” said her friend, . and' they
made some kind of a bet together, the
two girl.s, both members of the
church, though they had no interest in
rt-li.gion. “Now, I’ll tell you ” said the
first, 'Til give hihi two weeks, then
;v,'ill report to you.” -
Anyway, Austria has the honor cf
being included among those who also
ran.
O
We suppose there will eventually
be organized a society of Daughters of
Authors of Colton Plans of 1934.
