letter, bis time to the LightrBearers
'.'of Central Methodist.' Church here.
The following it the letter in Wilt;,
' T)ear Light Bearers : Doubtless this
will be a dull letter u I am writing it
' at a time when I do not rfeet; bright
. enough to study Chinese characters.
'Howevet, one finds that to get letters
' written at all one must utilize all
: sorts of inauspicious momenta.

best to cover mother earth with beauty
wherever they have the right a way.
tn our McTyeire compound it is quite
pretty and green. . Two of the teach
ers seem to revel in the cultivation
of flowers, and they, with a number
of the studentB who have eaught the
desire have a number of beds of vio
lets, pansies, daisies, hyacinths and
daffodils.. - The dandelions are running
an independent' business, unaided, un
honored, but," as you see, not 'unsung,
for I insist on calling attention to their
glowing beauty and their broad demo
cratic principles.
j Though,! have the flowers all about
me I am afraid J. am .not a born gar
dener. I prefer spending my odd mo
ments in the swing which 1 pump until

on the foek barriers. I never tire of
the sound of -waters or the busy,

I am reviewing for our third quar
ter's' examinations and spending much
'time in making out questions to help
the students find their way out of the
labyrinth when the final test comes.
Mr. Fletcher Brackman, -who is do
ing so much for the students of Chi
na, gave us an interesting report of
his recent visit to Japan where there
are about four thousand Chinese stu-
: dents. He said that he had never be
fore seen such a deep ' earnestness
,; among young men ; and that practi
cally all of the bodies of young men
be addressed sanctioned the superi
ority of the; Christian, religion and
admitted that it was the one thing
which would save China. Great num
bers professed Christ as a personal
Savior. His report from Korea was
very encouraging also, but the Ko

On Jane 2nd I left Concord for a
visit to various places of the North.
My first stop was st - historic old
Lynchburg, where I spent a most de
lightful week with, my friends, Rev.
and Mrs. C L. T. Fi&ler. Ite exceed
ingly billy, location,, central position
on various railroad systems, its mod
ern appearance and the thrift xof its
people, together with its historical
surroundings impressed and pleased
me very much. It u a charm ros-
hsessed by no other city in the South.
It will be remembered that the lar
gest of the Randolph-Macon Women's
Colleges is located fcere. . I attended
its commencement and out of its 500
pupils, 46 received diplomas.

The elegant homes, beautiful sur

vineyards: the peaceful hills and
meadows, bring to me only pleasant
recollections of my delightful stay
there, and 1 gladly say, "Lone live

kf the city, and has a very eommodious
and comfortable paaonage, as bis
home. His congregation is about to
build a new and very elegant church
that will cost between $30,000 and
$40,000. V V - T
- I have been very much surpirsed at
the great - strength of the Lutheran
church in Ohio: There are 28 Lutb-
" """ wugiu-
tions and Cleveland, whee I also
spent a week, has 31. There are
200,000 Lutheran church members in
Ohio.
Columbus is very centrally located
and is modern in every sense of the
word.
High Street, the principal thorough
fare, is the most beautifully lighted
street I ever saw. Its stores are ele
gant, its factories mighty affairs, and
it is a railroad center of unusual ex
cellence. Its fine Union Station is an
wrnament to the city and every facil
ity to make travel pleasant is afford
ed. One cannot help but be impressed
Willi the thrift and evidences of
wealth everywhere. The hurry and
bustle impresses everyone that comes
here from the Sunny South.. Ev
erybody moves fast and time and
machinery are used to the utmost in
carving on the work of man.
The people have every where been
quite kind to me and I have been re
eeived on all sides and by ali classes
with a courtesy that has somewhat
surprised me, but it makes my stay
very pleasant.

BISHOP , ELQO "S ADDRESS.
Speaks to Tbonaandi At AaaaU Jleet-
inf of Baptist Orphan! at Tnom
aayffli.V; .-f:;ij ,:.v;
Thousands were ' in attendaat in
ThomasvUle Wednesday at the aanual
meeting of the . Baptist orphanage.
Bishop John C Julgo Wbo denyerea
the address spoke of too orphanage
and its work and declared that in sup
porting such institution the Amer
ican people would work oat thei sal
vation from the curse df rapid!- ac
cumulating wealth, say the corres
pondent of the Charlotte , Observer.
The spirit of benevolence, to saiU,
was the saiety valve or tne repsonc
The are is characterized by a perfect
mania for ease and extravagant-com
fort. . He epoke of the five hundred
millions invested in automobiles,1 and
although finding fault with so 'man
who could afford this form of pJeas
nrcy he deplored the fact that n age-
earners are mortgaging, their ,very
homes to own a pleasure machine;
To check this insanity was the
spirit that founded orphanages, hos
pitals,' colleges. The bishop said be
doubted not at all that many a Metno
dist had been saved from bell by the
coUection box; and a few Baptists
too. The orphanage was not the pro
or of literary circles, but was the work
f God's Chureh. 'The Churchj be
declared, bad' done, all that is worth
while in the world. I This age, he said,
was witnessing a gentle, refined, skep
ticism, one that insinuated inl its
criticism of the Church and suggested
in its inquiry. Somebody : wrote
series of magazine : articles 1 tectjotly
and asked what Was; the matter. with
the Church, and declared that naless
the ministry raised its standard of in
tellectuality, ' the Chttrcb. would Jose
its hold on the people The bishop
laughed to scorn this ; idea and: de-
toafed on the Sabbath- and did not go
loafed o nthe Sabbath and did not go
ta church, it was not -because they
were "i inteuectnally gnpenor to 4 the
preachers. A generation could hard'
ly be termed intellectual that found
delight in VTrilby," 4"Ships That
Pass in the Night,", and "The One
Woman", to the exclusion of" nobler
orks. He declared tbat the agewas
not one of intellectual effort but rath
esr of intellectual ease and nIav.lXhe
Buimsyy nou ever oiooa on vna uniig
line, fighting the battles of humanity.
The great reader and the deep thinker
of the times was the minister. Rather
than being superior to the pulpit the
people today are the reverse so that
the minister finds it. necessary to so
preach that his hearers will be able to
t ake it in. He declared that the peo-
pde of God are indeed the salt of the
earth, the light of the world and that
t he business of the world is carried on
by church members. And he said that
when faith decayed, all else would de
cay. 'He closed with an appeal to his
hearers to get themselves in line with
the Church and to give to its enter
prises their lives and money and in
flnence.
The address, like all the bishop
says, was surpassingly able and held
the hundreds who beard it with
power that was unbroken. Frequent
applause swept over the vast crowd.

Pratt, the 16-year-old son of Mr. W.
H. Hagler, of No. 1 township, rural
mail carrier on route Mo. 6 from con
cords left bis home kst Monday af
ternoon, and although every effort
has been made to trace him, nothing
has been heard a to bis whereabouts.
The young man has had several at

Which be so far recovered as to attend
to bis usual work on the farm. Sev
eral days ago be bad another attack
and his parents bad decided to send
him to a hospital for an operation,
The fear of an operation, it - is
thought, was the reason for bis run
ning away, as no other reason is
known. He has bad four or five
attacks of appendicitis in the past
18 months. Last Monday afternoon
he left his work in the field and. start
ed out walking toward Charlotte. He
was seen to pass Uarrisburg about
o'clock and Newells an hour or so
later. The police force in Charlotte
were notified, but after a diligent
search they have been unable to find
him. Mr. Tom Heglar went to Char
lotte and spent several days looking
for him, but could find no trace or
him whatever. Mr. Heglar returned
to Concord Wednesday night.
Pratt will be sixteen years old
in August. He is 5 feet and 6 inches
high and weighs 125 pounds. He has
black hair, dark brown eyes, is dark
skinned and right badly sunburned.
He leans slightly forward and to the
right when walking, caused by ap
pendicitis. When he left home he
had on a new suit of light clothes,
light hat, black socks and low shoes.
He was last seen in Charlotte JLues-
dayhight, June 28, and there is no
further trace ox him. It is thought
he may be somewhere down the Sea
board Air Line from Charlotte, or in
South Carolina at some of the plants
of the Southern Power Co.
Mr. Heglar and famHy are greatly
disturbed about the disappearance of
their son, as it is feared he may be ill
somewhere.-. 'He -will grsatly appre
