And the “Tango” dance has made its appearance in Stanly county. What next? We diet not think that our county woula ever be disgraced with this hell- born thing, but it is. The peo ple in and around places where this is practiced ought not al low their childi'en to be about when it is in operation. Decen cy, modesty, and gentility blush when it is named. What will the devil introduce next? you had just as well cut theii heads off as to expect anything but sorrow out of them. They will soon be among the class peo ple have no respect for, and, of course, that means they are ruined forever. W'hy not make a new resolution and stick to it ? You may save a life, and God only knows what one good life is wonh. This is our twelfth number. W’'e have not done what we wish ed, but we have shown the Bap tists we are going to presevere, and that we have some honest convictions. We have felt that we ought to do a thing like this for several years, but just could not get at it right. Now, since it’s no dream but a cold reality, let us hope to do greater things than ever. We have had the loy al support of many preachprs and brethren. This we have en joyed to the fullest. It has en riched our life and made us to feel that we are in the midst o± a goodly heritage. Now, if we can have the continued co-oper ation of the brethren and sis ters in this noble work, we feel sure that we can do much more the coming year than we have the past one. We have many things in mind that we hope to do this coming year. Let the brethren send in’ their news notes and sermon outlines, or anything of interest. We will I gladly print it. If we have done I anything to aid the cause, to Him be all the glory. To W’est Albemarle Philathea Class. Dear Girls:—As you all know the last of September is the time for us to elect new officers, so let us be thinking about this and do our best to elect a new set of the livest and best offi cers we have ever had. As I am looking forward for someone to lake my place, and trust they will, I want to thank each and every Philathea girl for the co operation and assistance you all gave me while in my weak way I tried as best I knew how to serve you as your president. As I have always felt that some one else could fill the place bet ter than I could, and let’s have it better filled and make out class mean more than ever be fore, for we have a wonderful class that we ought to be prouu of. I can say that I am proud of my class and have learned to love you all and want you all to pray for me that I may live a better girl, and do more for my Master’s cause than l ever navt done in my past life. Affectionately yours. PRESIDENT. If anyone is sick or in distress, no tify your pastor; he is always wil ling to help. “The Road to Damnation,” is the title of a little book now published by the Roman Catho lics. This first appeared in the New World the official organ ot the Catholic church in America. Nothing could contain more slander or falsehood. This claims that Masonry worships the devil and denies God. Such is not true of Masonry. But we do not argue the Masonic cause, and only refer to this to show the spirit of Romanism. Any thing she cannot control is here tical. The United States gov ernment would be entirely wrong if it did not concede to the wishes of popery. Any per son or anything that antagon izes Catholicism is infidelic in the eyes of Catholicism. Free men ought to .stud.v conditions carefully, for the darkest day America has ever seen is coming upon us by the tyrannical hand of Romanism. Again and agajn have we re ferred to parental duties, but somehow there is still a terrible laxness. I am grieved to see this awful condition of things. We cannot understand why pa rents cannot see that they are ruining their children for time and eternity. If the child is spoiled in raising, it is crippled for life. It can never recover. We are sure we are right on i this. We have seen so many ex- jamples that we cannot believe I anything else. Now, if you are , a parent, do you control your I home, or have you given it over ' into the hands of your sinful I children ? If you have, you may 'expect sorrow and much of it. It is a burning shame that chil dren have to suffer so much be cause their parents fail to do their duty. Now, parents, I am not writing this to fill space but to remind you of your duty. Will you not take due warning and look after your children? Do you allow them out at all hours of the night: do you allow them to yisit public places, such as the railroad stations, switch boards, stores, etc? If you do. Report of West Albemarle Bap tist Philathea Class. We held our regular business meeting on Tuesday night, Au gust 11, at the home of Miss Mollie Blalock. The meeting was well attended. It was open ed with songs and the reading of the 13th chapter of first Cor inthians by the president. After prayer the minutes of the last meeting was read. We have on roll 90, with an average atten dance of 50. We have given to the Sunday school $1.74, to the orphanage, $4.20; paid out for entertainments, $12.10, given $3.33 to the sick. As we could not give a full report of August, we decided to give the July re port, so you could see we are trying to do something. We have on roll at present 111 and have decided to give 30 cents ot our collection each Sunday to i the Sunday school to pay for f our literature and put the re-t mainder in the treasury to be| used for the benefit of the sick! or anything the class sees fill to use it for. On Sunday, Au-j gust 22, we had 56 present and; three of that number were not, Christians. Let us all pray ear-i nestly that they may be saved, i —Reporter. Revival at Philadelphia. Dear Bro. Black.—I will give you a brief statement of our meeting at Philadelphia. We began the third Sunday in August and continued until Fri day, closing in the morning and baptising that evening. Rev. Adam Grubb did the preaching. Bro. Grubb was in good spirit for a revival and preached the old time gospel in the “good old fashioned way,’’ with such power that the hearts of many people were moved and made to rejoice in his coming into our midst. We were blessed with good weather all the time and had the largest congregations we have had in some time during the week days. We had three additions to the church and many more confess ed Christ who did not join. I think w’e will receive blessings if we only trust in the Lord our Savious Jesus Christ. I am glad to say that our Baptist people are getting a deeper interest in their church work than they have ever had before. We had just numbers of other profes sions that attended regularly and seemed to be deeply inter ested. Our congregation was com posed much of other denom inations, for which we are vei-y thankful to our Master for di- i-ecting them to hear the holy word which Ciu/. Giuhb so plitin- ly spoke to us. I cannot myself express to anyone how much good the meeting did- for me. 1 onlv pray and trust that Bro. Grubb may be able to be with ; us again as he is a man that has I not been preaching over a year ' and a half. I am sure he is aim- iing to do the work which his ; Master has sent him to do. His i sermons were mostly on the life of Christ and how men should I live to obtain His righteousness. I If at any time any brother pastor is in need of help for his j meetings and could secure Bro. ; Grubb they would do well to I have him. I Now let us pray for and en- ' courage Bro. Grubb’s work which he is deely interested in, 'and may the day not be far in : the future when we can have him with us again. Praying j that his work may be a great i success in the way of winning I souls for Christ. Amen. I A MEMBER. r. H. E. VAUGHN, A. BL, M. D. Physician and Surgeon. BIG LICK, N. C.
