Page Twenty iff CHURCH NOTICES Presbyterian Church News Items Mr. J. R. Manley has been elected treasurer of the Church, to succeed Mr. Gilbert, who has moved away. Mr. A. K. Martin, of the Badin Supply, has been elected treasurer of the Building Fund of the new church. It is hoped all the subscribers will call upon him, and pay at least part of their subscrip tion, in order that the work may go forward without interruption. During the Sunday nights in February and March, the pastor will preach on the Seven Deadly Sins. February 1—“Selfishness.” February 8—“Pride.” February 15—“Envy.” February 22—“Deceit.” February 29—“Greed.” March 7—“Sloth.” March 14—“Irreverence.” Our Sunday School and Church sei*- vices are being held in the School Build ing until the new church building on Falls Road is ready for occupancy. The walls are begnning to go up, which looks encouraging to us. Services for spring will remain at the same hours: Sunday School at 10.00 a. m., Preaching at 11.00 a. m. and 7.00 p. m. Interesting meetings of the Ladies’ Aid Society have been held recently at the homes of Mrs. W. H. Bradford and Mrs. R. B. Leinster. The February meeting will be with Mrs. E. L. Green lee, on Falls Road. At the spring Communion service, held the second Sunday in January, the pas tor announced the names of thirty-one new members who were received into the church during the last quarter. Baptist Briefs Mrs. Leafe is now our pianist, Miss Cornish having resigned after a year and a half of most faithful and excel lent service, for which we are grateful. Like Miss Cornish, Mrs. Leafe is a most capable musician. She is a new comer to our city, but has entered most heartily into all our work, for which we are glad. Considerable interest is being shown in the Sunday night sermons on the “I Ams” of Jesus. There are yet sev eral more of them. Hear the remainder of them. The greatest teachings of our Lord are among those that He began by saying, “I am” that thing. Pastor Arnette has purchased the half finished bungalow on Henderson Avenue, which was being built by Mr. R. F. Mor ris. Work is going forward rapidly on the building, and the pastor artd his family will soon be able to move into it. The roof is practically on our church at last, and the interior work can now go forward. We trust that it may do so rapidly. The hour for the evening service is now 7.30. Let those who could not come at an earlier hour come out now. Methodist Musings The entire Methodist Episcopal /^hurch, South, is soon to begin a united effort in evangelism. We are expected to join in this effort. It may or it may not be a success. A show may be pulled off without saving a single soul from hell, or many souls may be saved with out much show. This depends on the interest of the church. These revival efforts of the church are to begin March 21, and continue until April 4. Whether we can join in or not depends upon the progress made on our church building, but we must pray for God to bless these efforts. The spirit-of optimism is abroad in the church here in Badin. In spite of the cold weather, the Sunday School seems to be holding its own, the church services are very well attended, and all financial obligations are promptly met. Let us not forget that we are striv ing to get together to do our part in making Badin just what God would have it be. The Methodist Church will soon be completed and furnished, at an expendi ture of nine thousand dollars. “He who lives without a definite pur pose achieves no higher end than to serve as a warning to others.” Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Lilly spent Tues day, January 20, in Salisbury. BADIN BULLETIN Hanibal and the Kaiser The Roman biographer Nepos says that Hannibal, in his adversity at the end of his career, fled for safety to the land of Bithynia. His old enemies, the Romans, hearing of his location, sent to Prusias, the King of Bithynia, a demand that Hannibal be surrendered to them. This demand the King refused, saying that it violated the right of hospitality; but, he added, they might seize him if they could, for they would easily find the place where he was. The Govern ment of Holland might find in this a precedent to be followed in the modern situation. What Chance Had He? One dusky citizen was in uniform. The other clung to his civilian garb, and railed against the draft. “I ain’t a goin’,” he asserted, and no one is goin’ to make me.” “Niggah,” replied the other, earnestly, “if Mr. Woodrow Wilson wants you, you go! That man just took an hour of daylight from God Almighty. Then he took all the railroads away from white folks and give ’em to his son-in-law. What chance has you got?”—Successful Farming. When Love Is Young They were standing at the front gate. Won’t you come into the parlor and sit a little while, George, dear?” “N-no, I guess not,” replied George hesitatingly. “I wish you would,” the girl went on. “It’s awfully lonesome. Mother has gone out, and father is upstairs groaning with rheumatism in the legs.” “Both legs?” asked George. “Yes, both legs.” “Then I’ll come in a little while.” Now Look Out for Squalls Mary Rains and Thomas Cloud were married in Georgia last w'eek. Rev. Mr. Waters performed the ceremony. Paul J. Reiner left Sunday night for Baltimore and New York, to be gone several days, for the purpose of selecting his new line of men’s wear, haberdash ery, etc. Dr. F. C. Frary and D. W. Bell, from the New Kensington Plant, were with us during the week of January 25 to 31.
