SAYS PROGRAM or x rwv.-*
IS ONE REALLY WORTHWHILE
Dr. Henderiit* Speaks to Men of Bi
ble Class at Annual Banquet at tn^
Country Club. . ,
Siwkinc before the membere of the
Men's Bible Class of the I* ir*t
terian Church, at their annual ban
ket Thursday -night at the^ Cabarrus
Country Club. Dr. J. H. HjaJjjrhj*
of Gastonia, made a idea for definit
Church support by the man who wish
es tft make himself a force in the
world. * j
Dr Henderlite was heard by more
than' a hundred persons, including
more than 80 members of the class.
Invited guests included a number of
musicians who added greatly to the
program. ~ . ..
Living is the greatest thing in the
world, I>r. Henterlite told his hear
ers. and only the man who follows
the program of Jesus Chnst really
lives. “What a man makes in this
world and what he leaves are of no
real importance,” the speaker said.
“What a man is. counts. And never
before in the history of the world have
there been so many opportunities
real service. The Gospel needs to be
taken into all parts of the world. The
youth of the nation must be trained,
womanhood needs aid, and above all
the serious problems of the world
must be solved.” Dr. Henderlite
quoted from a number of men of prom
inence who said that the world must
go to the teachings of Christ before
their problems will be solved. «-
It is encouraging to see men sup
porting a Bible Class, an organ of the
church/ Dr. Henderlite continued, pay
ing compliment to the men of the
class present for their active service
for the Church.
“The man who supports the
Church,” said Dr. Henderlite,
the greatest leader the world has ever
known —Jesus Christ. The world has
always been looking for a king, but
only King Jesus satisfies. When you
have Jesus for a leader you have a
leader in whom you have confidence.
You are not ashamed of your associa
tion with Him. ‘The most precious
diadem in all Europe, Dr. Henderlite
explained, is the one which is said to
have been made from the, iron band
that bound one of the feet of Jesus
while He was on the cross. Other
crowns have more jew’els, but this one
is regarded as the world's most prec
ious one.
Continuing, Dr. Henderlite sai(|
that in supporting the Church a man
'has a great program to follow. Most
everyone has something that attracts
him. Most everyone has an objective
in life. He that picks the program of
JeSus chooses wisest. With worldly
things we often reflect, ’will it turn
out right in the end. will it prove
worthwhile.’ With the program of
the Church there is no quest : on. One
is never embarrassed because of it.
He quoted Lloyd George, Senator Pep
per. Roger Babson. Woodrow Wilson
and editors of various magazines to
show that from all quarters come tes
timonials for the program of Christ.
The Sunday School, said Dr. Hen
derlite, is the greatest factor now m
the training of the youth. He quoted
figures presented by four judges show
ing that of about 10,000 boys brought
into their courts less than a dozen ev-
had been actively associated with
a Sunday school.
‘There is one outstanding thing
about Church work and Church asso
ciation,” Dr. Henderlite said, “You
have never heard a father complain
because his son was going to Sunday
School. You have never heard a moth
er complain that her daughter was
becoming too interested in the mis
sionary society or Sunday school. You
have never heard of a wife weeping
at home because her hushand was out
attending a meeting of a Church
board. You have never heard of a city
in which a man was defeated for of
fice because he was an elder or some
other officer in a Church.' The church
teaches justice, fair play and kindli
ness to all. It’s program is never
embarrassing.”
In closing Dr. Henderlite pled with
his hearers to give moral and financial
support to the Church and in this
connection admitted that the wealth
of this nation was causing concern
to him. “I am afraid lest we direct
our wealth in the wrong direction.”
he explained. “We should give lib
erally to the Church and its needs,
and yet we find that last year for
chewing gum alone we spent $1 for
every $5 given to Church work.”
While it is important to give mon
ey to the Church it is even more im
portant to give ourselves. Dr. Hen
derlite “The work of the
Church is a man’s work; it calls for
the best within us. Give your money,
yes, but above all give your personal
ities, yourselves. If you will give your
pastor the same talent, time and ener
gy you devote to making a success of
your vocation, he will be satisfied and

He made a gesture towards Wal

fillod the air with the rich odor o)
resinous pine and hemlock. On the I
other, the wide reaches, of a river,
silvery beneath the rising sun
stretched away. Yet, Red was not
interested in the lumber industry
nor was he given to faring fortl
upon the water. Taxi cabs, tires
carburetors and passengers sum j
med his world. At the moment, j i
passenger who rode on and on ]
Suppose this one proposed to eon
tilfhe on forever? In Red’s mini J
there arose a vision of an ertraor
dinary taxi cab Journey. One thai
would send him on through th<
years with that motionless sal
eyed passenger always behind
Send him on, until he became as
ancient bearded man and she ?
toothless hag. It might seem thal
this would be the acme of sucoew
to one of Red’s calling. But hi
had no such feeling. Rounding f
curve, there lay before him a vil
lage nestled in the midst of the for
est on the bank of the river. Ai
sight of the town came resolution
A novel one too In a taxi driver
He turned and shouted at Ellene
"Say—don’t you want to stop a)
this next town?”
She turned to gaze at him, he»
face blank, as if she had difficult)

wearily.
As a man who sees himself re
lleved of a burden, Red drove on
to finally stop before a little hotel
weather worn and dilapidated. HI
helped Eileen out of the taxi ani
she stumbled partway up the step!
leading to the rickety porch
where she paused, lacking th<
strength to proceed.
Intent upoffi ridding himself d
his passengdHgßed moved on to thi
door and tnundered clamoronslj
upon it with his fist- For a leu
moments there was no sign of life
then steps sounded within, the doo)
was opened and a sleepy landlord
In his shirt sleeves appeared.
“This here lady,” said Red, “sbe’i
sick and wants a room.”
T dunno,” responded the hotel
man doubtfully, scratching btj
towsled head. “Don’t nobody bxp
lumberjacks an' mill hands staj i
here, an' what’s more this ain’t ntf
horspitaL”
“She ain’t,” said Red hastily J
“she ain’t what you’d Call really
sick. Just tired. What she
just rest and she ain’t a bit par
tlcular how she gets tt, so long a»
she gets it What’s more,” he con
tined, speaking with marvelouJ
confidence upon a subject which
had caused him no little personal
misgivings, “she’s got lots ol
money and ain’t caring about whai •
she pays for anything, so long ar
she gets it” .
Before so fair spoken a recom
mendatlon as Red's what inhkee'p ,
er; could remain obdurate, wha)
one long hesitate? Certainly th«
, deubts of this one were promptly
dispelled. Hardly had Red ceasei
speaking than die hotel man, all
courtesy and . Attention in hit
rough way* was ushering Eileei
into the house, up the stairs and
down a long hall into a plainl?
furnished room. There he pause*
to regard her kindly, If curiously.
“Anything else, ma’am? Whai
we got afh*t much, but all you gol
to <|P is to holler an’ It’s yours.”
Her senses numbed with grlel
and unutttrbbly wearied by the
events Os the night, Eileen shook
her head, hardly aware of what th«
man had said. Too dazed had sht
been to be aware of other things,
too. That sbekhad given Reddy a
bill of a denomination which bad
lifted his tried soul from the
slough of despond to the height!
of joy was a thing to which she
perhaps would nave given Uttl«
heed had she lealized it. But had
she known Os Diane Bledsoe’s
presence, and, abov* all else, hei
extraordinary behavior Eileec
would have found food for much
thought. , ,
For Diane had seen and recog
nixed Eileen, early as it was, that
morning. Out for a morning
horseback ride, Diane had cantered
up just as Reddy had assisted
Eileen from the taxicab, and she
had paused uncertainly on the ho
tel steps. The sight of Bob’s
mother waiting there had afTected
Diane strangely. Turning white
as a sheet, she had swayed so far
in the saddle gs to almost lose her
seat Recovering herself with an
effort she had swung her monnt ,
about and applying the whip to
the mettlesome beast had fled the
town.
