KIWANIS CLUB HAS LUNCHEON MEETING AT HOTEL CONCORD Musical Program Given By Miss Pat Adams and Mrs. Leslie Correll.—George F. McAllister Speaks.

Caldwell, whose labors are ended in a community in which she was born and reared and in which she moved with majestic force and influence through many years, was a woman of many inherently strong capacities, and of talents conspicuous for their versatility and notable for the manner in which she invested them. She was, first of all, born to the newspaper enterprise. The gathering up of the news from , the folks and from the streets for the daily papers and the weaving it to gether readable articles for the people was instinctive with her. There was nothing forced or compulsory either in her work or in the method with which she went about it. She loved ’ it and it was, therefore, easy, free and natural and always well done. In diverse positions on the news papers of Charlotte she had labored through the years and in all of them she was .always sprightly and dyriamic and thoroughly capacious. Through the quarter of a century that we have either been immediately in association with her or had intimate knowledge of her journalistic activi ties, the experience leads to the as sertion, that is not a mere post-mor tem tribute, but which has repeatedly been made during her life, that she has never had an equal in Charlotte’s newspaper field as a reporting genius. She could get more news than tribes of others because she had that energy which is primarily necessary to such an attainment; then she had the dar ing and courage that make up a sec- y ond essential, and finally, she had the friends upon whom she could depend to assist in her euergetic labors. She was uuapproached in this department 1 of newspaper-making. Miss Elizabeth MacFadyen, stu dent at Duke University, Durham, is spending the week-end here with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. P. R. Mac-j Fadyen. I Mrs. J. H. A. Holshouser, who un- ; derwent an operation at the Concord , Hospital ten days ago, returned to i her home on Franklin Avenue Satur- , day.

The boy was not seriously injured and was able to be at play this morning. The car that struck the boy w r as said to have been driven by a man who had two womeu, both of whom were said to have been wearing over alls, with him. After striking the boy the driver of the car stopped the ma chine and ran. Police officials ques tioned the women who were with the mnn but at noon today had not been able to arrest him. It was said today that J. H. Brown, welfare officer, and Deputy Sheriff Carl Honeycutt -chased the car said to have been driven by Settlemeyer from Kannapolis to Concord and were unable to catch the driver of the car who continued to swerve from side to side in the road to keep the officers from stuping him. The local officers lost track of the car after it reached Concord. It is understood that Settlemeyer will be taken to Kannapolis when he is caught, as it was also said that he is under a suspended sentence there. Beautiful Marriage at First Meth odist Church.

But it is a discussion between two honest men who think they are right and have the courage to contend for what they consider to be the truth. I am replying to Dr. Rowan’s sec ond paper which appeared in The Con cord Daily Tribune on March 7th. Dr. Rowan says he does not believe in “divine healing by prayer and faith alone,” but does believe in di vine healing through or by the use of means. _ I suppose by this that he 5 thinks there must, be a doctor and some medicine, or a surgeon and his surgery or some other means before there can be any 6uch thing as divine healing. Now that does not appear to me to be divine healing at all. Os course that might be blessed of the Lord to the recovery of the patient, but the doctor might be a cursing un ' believer in God and religion, and | without any prayey or faith and the patient do splendidly which thing is going on all the time, for we known that many doctors are uhbelievers. Now there is a chance for purely physical success because there is a ■ skilled surgeon or physician who meets the demand of physical laws, but I could not call that divine healing. I Now, I want to say that I am a friend of the doctors; I believe in them, chiropractors, osteopaths and all, and many of them have treated me and my family, but there are cas | es that are beyond the doctors’ reach 1 or the* surgeons’ skill, as the woman who had spent all her living on physi cians and' was not helped, but when she came to Jesus she was instantly healed. And all the cases which I cited as being healed were of this kind, where man’s extremity is God’s op portunity. I am not saying that we may not be healed of all our sickness, even ordinary sickness, and that we ought not to bring them to Jesus for healing and may not secure the heal ing, for I surely believe we may, but I do think there is something for us to do in order to keep well and strong. On one hand we> may violate the law* of nature. We suffer for it, and on the other hand we may assist nature ■ and help to keep our bodies in perfect condition for life's duties, and espec ially so since God has put into the vegetable kingdom and into the miner al kingdoms remedies for all the ills that man is hear to, and especially these for the unbelievers in divine | healing and the millions of those who do not know of it. But there comes the. time that none of these will reach the patient as every physician will tell ' you. And also cases where the sur- I geon is halted by his judgment. He ;; knows an operation would be wortb j less. Now these are the kind of eas -1! es that I have cited and purposely so. I could cite many cases of minor healings. I will give one more case, a case to which I referred in other article where I can get a doctor’s statement regarding it; the one pray ing in this case was not a preacher but a mother. She was a devout ‘ Christian woman of great faith. Her child was sick, the doctor was there, had been treating it and could not reach the disease. He told the mother as he was leaving late in the after noon that the child was dying, but that if it lived through the night he ’ would come the next morning, and when he got there the next morning the child was well. When the doctor left the evening before the mother went into another room and prayed till she got the answer to her prayer in her heart. She then went back to the child and it was sitting up in the bed playing. This was before I be came her pastor but neighbors told me . of it. Then she told me of it, and last of all the doctor told me of it. He had not believed in divine healing up to this time but was thoroughly con vinced by this. I know of these cases I have cited. I am not guessing at anything. I know them as well as I know any other facts. I know there is a New York City but have not seen it. Just so the cases I have cited (and I could give many more) are so well authenticated that I say I know them. These are facts, and factß are stubborn things, unyielding things. We must take off our hats to them. . 6 We cannot get around them. People can deny them but they are still facts just the same and stand for themselves. Dr; Rowan does not believe that ; these cases are real healings, although does not doubt my thinking so. His not believing it does not change the facts, they remain facts just the same. I am not relying on these cases to prove the doctrine of divine healing, that is set forth in the Bible clearly and abundantly, both in the Old and New Testament, in fact every dispen sation has had the gift. Many of the prophets had it and not only were there cases of healing but people were raised from the dead. So the dispen sation of the Father, Old Testameni dispensation; the dispensation of the Jesus, baptism till His ascension; and the dispensation of the Holy Spir it, from Pentecost till the close of tlie age and second coming of the Lord. We know that it got the gift of heal ln* started off with numerous and , marked healings recorded in the Acts of the Apostles and there have been cases along down through the history of the church till the present. Would it not be strange, and unaccountable I if every age of the church had had its eahngs till this laat age supposed to IJ? tbe of day” gospel! Is j the trouble rather not with the church-1 es and the preachers for not emphasiz- 1 mg it and bringing out the doctrine s and privilege to the Deoale? I say I am not relying on these cas f 8 to prove the doctrine of healing as has already been shown in the Bible but to show that the doctrine is still operating in the world of today. ! . ? r ’ said “I have praved for sick people who took a turn as We sav, i and got well. Again I have prayed "vvith just as much faith for sick peo ple of even stronger faith than those who recovered and they died almost instantly.’ Now with all respect for my fnend’s word, I must cross it. 1 think the trouble is with his opinion rather than his word.
