Birthday Party Friday.
On Friday afternoon Maxtor Rob
ert Cook was host to a circle of play
mates, celebrating his eighth birth
day anniversary. i
Contests were planned for the oc
easion which took place ns soon as
the children arrived.
First was an apple eating contest
won by Robert Lee Johnson. Next
came a marshmallow contest. The
children were so eager to win that
some ate strings and all, but the con
test was won by Bruce Fisher. A
game of feathers then afforded much
merriment.
When the children were ushered in
to the dining room t'hey were delight
ed at the sight of a large cake with
pink candles and Robert's name iced
on it, but they were still more de
lighted when they were told that it
contained fortune telling emblems.
When it was cut Robert Cook and
Nevin Archibald each found a coin in
t'lieir piece. Ralph Gibson and Charles
Sloop cut rings. Miss Belle Means
found n bachelor's button in here.
The others found solace in ice cream
cones.
The crowning event of the party
Was the Jack Horner pie. After the
fdn and excitement which this always
produces, the children \yent , home
wishing a happy return of the: day.
The following boys who were there
were Billie. Buddie Melvin Means.

Mr. Betts has an enviable reputa
tion as a musician. He has had a
most successful career as an evange
listic singer, having been associated
with came of the leading ministers of
the country of different denominations,
in revival work. He has away of get
ting music out of a crowd, and his solo
work is most pleasing.
W. Furman Betts assisted me for
more than a year in evangelistic meet
ings. He did faithful and efficient ser
vice as a soloist ami song leader and

gent searching of the Scriptures. I !
gladly recommend him.—Dr. W. H. 1

I have had no man to labor with me
in meetings who gave me greater sat
isfaetion. In every way gave encour
agement and noble eo-operation. His
solo work was admirable. He has
has unusual ability in enlisting and
trainiug a choir. He has a remarkable
ins'ght in knowing how to adapt the
music to the sermon and to the need
of each particular service.—Dr. S. J.
Porter, Pastor First Baptist Church,

For years I have known Mr. W.
Furman Betts. It affords be great
pleasure to commend him as a man
and as a Christian brother. He is a
very successful Gospel singer and will
help any pastor who secures him. He
is sound in faith, but not a ‘faddist.”

A special program has been prepar
ed for the Sunday School, to be ren
dered at the Sunday School hour this
Sunday. The departmental Superin
tendents, and teachers, are all striving
to hnve a 100 per cent, attendance of
the enrollment. The day promises to
be a red letter day: every member of
the school is urged to be present.
Sunday_has also been designated as
“Visitation Day.” At 2 p. in. the
slen's Brotherhood, (>0 men strong,
will meet at the church, and then go
out in teams of two, .to visit the entire
membership of the church. Their
visits will be primarily for the pur
pose of carrying a special message of
encouragement to each home, and the
enlistment of each member in a “Unit
ed Sprng Drive” for the enlargement
and development of every phase and
department of the church work. Spec
ial invitations and announcements
pertaining to the revival meetings,
starting in the church Sunday, will be
left at each home.
A wonderful spirit of unity and ear
nestness now characterizes the church,
and all phases of the church work are
experiencing a healthy growth. The
membership of the church is also stead
ily growing, new members having been
received into the church every Sun
day this year, save two. The revival
meetings starting in the Church Sun
day, have been anticipated with eager
ness; and great joy, increased interest
along all lines, and divine blessings
are confidently expected.

The Late John S. Turner.
Speaking of the passing of John
S. Turner, the Stanly News-Herald
says:
“John S. Turner, 86 years ot age,
died Tuesday night at 11 o’clock at
the home of his son, John, Jr., in
Cabarrus county, just across the
line from Stanly. Mr. Turner had
been ill for a few days and his death
! came ns a shock to his family and
friends.
“He was a Confederate veteran
and served Ills native county, Cabar
rus. as commissioner for several terms.
He was a man of keen judgment and
one of the best informed men of his
county. He was often sought for
his judgment and advice by his friends
and neighbors. He was well known
;in both Cabarrus and Stanly coun-
I ties.
j “Mr. Turner was of the Methodist
faith and lived a consitent Christian
life.”
I From remotest times fire haß
played a prominent part in Easter
! celebrations in many different coun
tries. Especially in the East do
the people believe in what is called
“The Miracle of the Easter Fire”—
a ceremony of elaborate character.
It is confined to the Greek and other
eastern churches, and takes place
each Easter in Jerusalem.
