"I have only the gospel of Jesus Christ," so declared Dr. George Long aker, of Hickory, as he opened a se ries of evangelfctie services in the new Trinity Reformed Church. He had the attention of the congregation as once as he presented Jesus Christ. Everyone was impressed with the message as Dr. Longaker revealed the beauty of the face of Tesuß as reveal ed in the gospels. “Jesus set His fact steadfastly to go to Jerusalem.’ From this text he presented different aspects of the face of Jesus, the face revealing the real man Christ Jesus. It was first of all a “set” face, purpose and de termination were seen there. It was a “sad” face, even as the Prophet had said “a man of sorrows and acquaint ed with grief.” v Sorrows and bitter pains age a man and' the face shows the signs of rnany years of life com pressed into a few hours of time. It was a “shunned" face. It was so when Jesus walked on earth and it is so today. People shun the face of Jesus. They go where they want to go but so many do not go to ,the House of God to see the face of Jesus. It was a “shrouded” face. tasted death for all men. y Bjut the brighter aide is that the face of Jesus is “sought.” People sought Jesus. So are there many peo ple today seeking Him. And Jesns’ face is a “seen” face for many there be that see Him. fCfiti when they see that face it is a “shining” face. “His fgoe did Bhine as the sun.” As Dr. Longaker presented Jesus the congre gation was led into the presence of Jesus who would make the face of hi* children al : ke unto Himself. Services tonight at 7:30 o'clock and each night during the week. A spir itual song service for 30 minutes or more will prepare the congregation for 'the reception of the message.

POULTRY SHIPPED FROM . THIS COUNTY ON MONDAY Shipment Was Not Large Because It Had Not Been Property Advertised. More than 1500 pounds of poultry was shipped from Concord Monday to North Wilkesboro. having been pur chased- by a man representing a com pany of that city. In discussing the shipment R. P. Goodman, county farm agent, stated that it would have been much larger if the company had asked the co-op eration of the farmers. “The fact that the agent- of the company was tn be here was not properly advertised,” Mr. Goodman said. ’-‘I was not asked to co-operate, the farmers as a, wl)ole did not know of the shipment, the newspapers carried no advertisements and the whole matter was handled in such fashion that little poultry was sec tired in Cabarrus.’’ Mr. Goodman added "that 1,631 pounds' of turkey were shipped in the car from this county. The poul try brought a total of $440.57, A. H. Litnker receiving the largest individ ual check, $55.20, and his son receiv ing the smallest check. SI.OO. The largest cock weighed 11 pounds anti six of the fattest hens weighed 40 pounds, Mr. Goodman stated. “We could easily spare five times as much poultry frnm th : s county -without any loss in egg production,” Mr. Goodman said in discussing the total number of pounds sent from Ca barrus. “Our poultry people would be better off if they sold their culls and spent the money for food for their young birds.” . The price offered for the poultry was satisfactory in the opinion of Mr. Goodman, who explained that a car of poultry usually contains from 15,- 000 to 18,000 pounds. \i The car in which the Cabarrus poul try was shipped was started in Rock Hill, S. C. It has made stops at sev eral points. From Concord it went to China Grove. EVANS SAYS KLAN REQUIRES SECRECY^ Explains Aims in Article to Be Published in the North American Review- New York World. The Ku Klux Klan never will abandon its secrecy and masks, IJr. Hirum Wesley Evans. Imperial Wiz ard, asserts in an articie to be pub lished in the North American Re view March 10. “Our secrecy,” he says, “is necess ary for our protection, so long ns the bitter intolerance and fanatic persecution last. "There is also the advantage in secrecy that it gives us'greater .driv ing force, since our enemies are handicapped in not knowing just , what, er how great is the strength we can exert. The mask, by the way. is not a part of our secrecy a Anil, but of our ritual, and never can be abandined." i Wizard Evans describes in the lengthy articles the “Rian's fight for Americanism.” Achievements Cited. ■The Klan’s greatest achievement, he ''contends, has been to formulate the idea of "preserving ami develop ing America first and chiefly for the J benefit of The children of the pioneers who made America, and only and definitely a’.ohg the lines of the pur pose and .spirit of those pioneers.” Other "achievements” -claimed by ( the Klan are “education of its picm- ; bem ill citizenship, suppression of ' lawlessness and increase of good Government, restriction of immigra- ! tioti, and the defeat of the Catholic attempt to -seize the Democratic party." Os Catholicism, Mr. Evans says, in part! “I do not know of a- single mani- ' festation in recent times of hostility to any Catholic because of his re ligion, nor to the Catholic Church because of its beliefs. , i The Negro Problem. f'Thc real indictment against the Reman Quitch is that it is, funda mentally and irredeemably, in its leadership, in politics, in thought, and largely in membership, actual. > und actively'alien, un-American and usually anti-American.’’ He .says “the negro is the special duty und problem of the white Amer ican,” but offers no solution of the problem except to hope thut “every State will enforce laws making any sex relation between, a white and colored person u crime.’’ Evans divides the Jews into East ern and YVestern, saying (he latter | are assimilable, the former are not. ! anti adds: “The most menacing and difficult problem facing America today is this ( of the permanently unassimilable . alien.” ' Art and literature Department to !
