REVIVAL SERVICES AT IMMANUEL NOW WELL UNDER WAY Song Service, Led by Mr. Burr, Proving Especially Inter esting The meeting at Immanuel church 5s now well under way. The interest is growing fast and the church was well filled last night. The song service was under fhe direction of Andrew Burr, who is known all over North Carolina for the work he has done with Dr. Wil liam Black and other evangelists. A special feature of the singing is the enthusiastic junior choir. Mr. Burr sang last night, as a solo, the beautiful gospel song, “Others.” The subject of the Rev. Leonard Gill last night was, “The Steps In a Suc cessful Revival," from the text In Ne hemiah 4:6. “The people had a mind to work.” Beginning with the story of Nehe mlah and his work, he outlined as the necessary steps in a real revival: A spirit of concern. There were others who knew as much about the terrible conditions in Jeijusalem as Nehemiah, but he was the only man who really cared. There are too many church members who are lazy, too many who say “it can’t be done,” too many who do not care about the condi tion of the unsaved people of their own community. Nehemiah cared until he wept and cared until he worked. A spirit of prayer. Nehemiah went first to Gad in prayer. The world will never be aroused until the church gets on its knees before God. But it is mere hypocrisy to pray unless you are ready' .to try to answer your prayer, i A spirit of service. When Nehemiah got up from his prayer, he was ready to say. "send me.” We are all ready to send someone else, but we do not mean it until we go to a needy man or woman ourselves. And by the time one has made up his mind to go, God has already gone to the man before. Nehemiah finished his work in 52 days, because “the people had a mind to work.” We have the opportunity for service, and we are going to have the revival if we have a mind to work. The subject of the sermon tonight will be. “Life—Its Battle, Its Victory, j and Its Crown." Mr. Gill is an effec i tive and forceful speaker, and uses 1 striking illustrations 4n driving home bis points. The song service will begin at 7:45. Those who have not heard Mr. Gill are cordially , invited to come to night. -t Cowan bpeaks before Current Topics Club Mayor James H. Cowan returned yes terday morning from Rocky Mount, where on the night previous he dellv erad an address before the Current Topics club.

MODOC WILL REMAIN HERE, COMMANDANT OF SERVICE ASSERTS Rumors That Cutter is to be Transferred to Southport • Acclaimed Unfounded Wilmington will remain as the home station of the coast guard cutter Mo doc, rumors that the boat is to be transferred to Southport being official ly denied by Commodore Reynolds, ;ommandant of the coast guard service. Reports that Southport is to become the home of the Modoc have been cur rent here since the departure of the Seminole some months ago, but added impeuts has been given by the fact that the Modoc has been anchored at Southport for several days. Commodore Reynolds, when asked :o«bernlng these rumors by The Star s Washington correspondent said that no jhange in base for the Modoc is even jonsiderefd by the department, and that while the Modoc may frequently an chor at Southport, because that port-is pore accessible to the sea, that Wil mington wtil remain the home port of le ship. .. j * Coast guard vessels stationed at Wilmington have long been considered art of the waterfront scenery and the Itizens have taken a great interest in le cutters and their officers and men. Perhaps no port on the Atlantic coast i more popular with the men of the ervice than Wilmington and many of he officers and enlisted men of the arious butters stationed here Wave larried Wilmtngtdn women.
