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.” „ R Service tonight at 7:30. Gome and S worship with ns.

MAX GARDNER’S SPEECH | f AT STATE CONVENTION I '(Continued From Page One) , 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.

A* he moves on, his administration will mark an epoch, Conspicuous with practical common sense, and remarkable for its progressive. economic and con servative adaptation to the safe con trol of a giant state that has sud denly aroused itself like a strong man from sleep. "My picture is very inadequate. I have taken only snapshots.

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.
