God in Search For Man.
This was Mr. Fry’s subject Thurs
day night at Kerr Street Baptist
Church. There was another large
congregation. We arc having some
mighty good singing. The quartet
sang "Out in the Desert.” Mr. Fry
preached a great sermon, using for a
text. Psalm IHW :7, "Whither shall I
go *Olll thy Spirit, or whither shall I
flee from thy presence.” He said in
part:
The all-seeing eye of God is ever
. upon us. There is never a Cme that
we are out of God’s visipn, the very"
first effort of man was to hide from
God, und avoid meeting him. < Adam
i did not want to see God after he
had sinned. But God called to Adam
* and said, “where art thou?’ Then
Adam tried to put the blame on the
woman. Elijah ran from God but
God found him in the cave, nnd said
“what are yqu doing here Elijah?”
Listen! There is no n : ght so dark,
there is no cloud so thick but that
God can see you. And I can hear the
sweet voice of God speaking to me. I
think that one of the torments of hell
will be that we see God. You
let a man sell some whiskey or vio
late the law in some ivay. and he
runs away and tries to hide. Some
times ho succeeds but we can not
hide from God. Listen, friends! If
you have, been sinning against God
you have been trying to hide • from
God. The rich man that lifted up
his eyes in hell would have hidden
from Go(I if possible. I want td call
your attention to some things about
the rich man. t
First: He did not go to hell be
cause he was rich. People arc not j i
damned because they are rich. Keith- i
er are people saved because they are, ]
poor. Cnbel’ef is the damning sin of |
th s world. This man was more in- *
icrested in the things of this world
than in his soul. Look today at our 1
good roads, anil our fine schools, and
our great manufacturing establish- !
ments. How much money we have
invested in those things! And the
kingdom of God is suffering. Now we
iced ail these things, but we should
put the Kingdom of God first.
Second: This man could see and
hear in hell. He saw Abraham, and
ho heard Abraham. Oh, it would have
been better if he had been blind and
deaf. Because the very fact that he
could Nee amUiear mude hell more
awful to Mm.
Third: Then he was conscious in
i hell and he knew that he was in hell,
i and that he had one time had a chance
1 to escape this awful place. He re
membered that he had five brothers
that yet had a chance to escape this
\ place of torment, this man might not
* have believed jn foreign missions -when
> ho was in the world, but ho bepeved.
< in it now. He wanted Abraham to
3 send u preacher back to the world to
< preach to bis brothers.
j Fourth : Then God saw hint in hell
3 —he had no’f escaped the all-seeing eye
K of God. The Psalms David says,
S “though I make my bed ill hell, behold
D thou art there.” „

in the wilderness of doubt and in
the confusion of uncertainty lifted
his powerful voice for moral
righteousness and Christian ideals iu 1
civil government.
“Following Glenn would come the
handsome face of Will Kitchin.
lighted with an honesty of purpose
| and illuminated by a passion of ex
alted public service. Kitehin met the.
State* in a critical hour, at a time
when she was indecisive as<to whetli
jer to advance or to recede. He held
North Carolina to her true bearing
and chastened the conscience of the
Commonwealth by his clean and
(wholesome life.
“After Kitchin would follow the
•form of the little giant of the ynoun
| tains. Lock Craige. I would have him
! stationed as a picket, fdr out on the
political horizon, anxiously wel
coming the dawn for the first faint
gleam of the birth of a new day in
North Carolina. I would have him
greet this day with cordial co-opera
tion and sympathetic purpose, as he
successfully strove for the building
;of a finer and nobler State.
I “As the curtain well on Craige I
J would announce with the clarion
bugle call, the practical and poetic
figure of Walter Bickett. I would
j march before his stand the seventy
nine thousand North Carolina boys,
in lying under his firm and friendly
leadership, to the cry of a distressed
; world and in obedience to the sum
mous of our immortal Commander
.and ebieftan, Woodrow Wilson. I
I would reveal Bickett in the new
'ground of progress, pulling the
stumps of reaction, rolling aways the
logs, of prejudice, cleaving the land
cutting the briars, burning the brush
and fertilising the public mind fin
the cultivation of an awakened and
dominant public conscience.
"In sequence, after Bickett would
come Cameron Morrison. I would
bo diy reveal his outstanding per
sonality, vividly display . his line
loyalty and patriotic devotion To
North Carolina. I T would write un
der his name in letters of gold the
word 'progress.' His figure would
loom large in the picture ami in the
perspective of history, as he gathers
happiness from a record of progres
sive 'achievements, unparallelled ill
the life of our state. 1 would picture
him aq Carrying North Caro.mu to
the utmost boundaries ot Human
progress.
“The e«t reel would present the
clear-cut picture of Wilton McLean.

"My picture is very inadequate. I

POOR PRINT
THB CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
| MONROE GIRLS HAVE
AN EXCITING NTGIIT
I Moral of This Story: Don’t Take
Auto Rides With Strange Young *
! Men. '
Wadesboro Messenger nnd Intelli-j
genccr.
| This is the Odyssey of two Monroe ! .
girls without much knowledge of the !
world, who accepted an automobile
ride in a ear belonging to a stranger,
nnd who had a narrow escape from
serious trouble, but who got through ■
all light, and are now no doubt safe
a( home. It happened days ago.
The two girls, who shall be luune- ‘
less, were taking a Walk along No.
20 highway a short distance northwi-u
of Monroe when a Braoot’li talking
stranger came along and offered them
a ride back to Monroe. They ae
cepted, and got in. The man claimed
to be a strahger to this section, anil
they rode over the town, the girls
pointing out the places of interest.
The man asked what was the next
town on the highway, nnd they told
him Wingate. He suggested that they
drive to Wingate, and they accepted.
When they reached Wingate, the man
suggested that they come on further.
The girls decided they had gone fat
enough, and they say they tried to ger
out of the ear, but the man put on
speed and came on to Wadesboro.
When they got to Wadesboro the
man told them lie had to see some
me here, and he parked the car ami
est it standing while he went away
for a considerable time. By that
time it was night. The gir’s remain
d in the car. and finally the nmr.
■a me back and suggested that they
register at the hotel, one of the girb
ii-slng as his wife and the other as
her sister The girls were in a situ
tion they did ’not know how to
handle, but they declined this, and j
finally the man told them he would j
them a room at the hotel and he |
won! ’ spend the night elsewhere j i
They agreed to this, and the -man j :
went in to register. He told Mr.!
J. D. Mills that lie wanted a r • j
for his party. They, looked all right
,o Mr. Mills, and he told them t !
register, in the meantime going up
to show them the room. However,
they failed to register. When the
girls went to their room t’hc man
went along into the room and locked
lie door, and the whole party sal
down. The girls were no doub !
badly frightened and did not know!
wimt to do. The:, remained in (he!
room until, ar,and 3 o’clock in the j
■s V-.weiJ, b; he •• : i r one. i
,-rir.V went out and me* Night e
•’eruon .Smith, and final.y Mr. .1 F. |
Tice was aroused, and it was decided
to arrest the man, who ’had got into ,
his automobile and had followed the 1
girls; at some distance. However 1
u hen lie saw Messrs. Smith and Tice j
he put ou the gas and left town in |
a hurry, and ’has not been seen since. I
lie left some luggage at tile hotel, |
and his identity, is known.
The girls spent the remainder of
tlie night here, and Monday morning,
friends in Monroe were communicated
with and they were sent home, no
doubt milt’ll wiser. Justice J. E.
Gray issued a warrant for the man.
but lie has not been caught. It is
said that lie was a member of a crew ;
which has been working this section ;
getting orders for enlarging pictures.
Moral: Don’t take auto rides with
: ’strange men.
DENNY’S FAREWELL
TOI R WITH PLAYMAKERS
Actor-Manager Will Play His Last
Role in “The First Year.”
George V. Denny, veteran'Playinak
er actor and manager, who has been
with the organization since it was or

For six years business mentor and
assistant director of tho now famous
■ University group, Mr. Denny has
been largely responsible for the sue
. cess of the organization. When the
I’luymakers were iu debt and produc
ing plays only locally he was giver
, charge of tile business management
and took the organization on its First
State Tour six years ago. He was at
* that time a junior in college and at
the end of his senior year all debts
had been paid, considerable property
1 had been acquired, and a comfortabli
' balance was in the bnnk. Upon grad
" uat’on. Mr. Denny was retained t<
teach the University course in Dra
matiev Production. English .36. He
recently presented his resignation to
take effect June Ist
As an actor Mr. Denny has playe*'
over thirty different parts with th(
Playmakers. his best work bavin.*
i been done in character roles. In om
play, "Gains and Gains, Jr..” by Luc
M. Cobb. Mr. Denny has played the
part of Gaius Mayfield, the rnseibb
old plantation owner, more than r
hundred times. Eliza Woodfio 110 l
land referring in the Asheville- r 'iti
zer to this eharaojer says, “The fin
restraint, the perfectly natural and
understanding method of George Den
ny cannot be too highly praised."
"The First Year,” originally pro
duced undOr Mr. Denny’s supervision
in Chapel Hill, has recently retnwed
front asuecessful tour into eastern
North Carolina. The actor who play
ed Mr. Livingston’s part was unable
