"Now I haveno doubt that many of us try to seek the kingdom of God ; first, but we have a mistaken Idea.' of what It la to put. God's kingdom ana ' righteousness first.. Judging from what can be seen, many ,of us reason and act In the following way: "I am a sinful man. My Father in heaven has loved me, and offered to V- me eternal life in His Son, who has died to make atonement for my ains, t It's the right thing for me to do, the v: prudent and safe thing for me to do; to : accept .this Atonement, tua orrerea v eternal life.

I. am Insured ai it were against' the great loss of dying without God, I am now unham pered to see that I lose nothing that is also worth while In the, 'present world. It la true that I ought to some " degree, keep alive my interest In reli gion, and the . Church and spiritual things, but having attended to the kingdom in my profession of faith in Christ henceforth I can safely put the getting of a great many other things ) In a very important place In my thoughts, purposes and desires. ' "My friends, when the matter is put in this light. It lsnot necessary for us to be told that this man, who has gone through the experiences that have been described', has not put the kingdom of God first at all. He has simply put his own selfishness first all , the way through, and Instead of allow ing the thought of the Infinite love of God to cure him of his selfish desire to possess this world, he has so used God's Word as to make him 1 eel fleh enough to possess this world and the world to come all for himself. AVhat is it to put the kingdom of God 'ana" MrlghteduShes0 truly flrst ln the heartf ; , - ."It Is to sink m thought of self In the love of Jesus Christ It Is to deny self.

ThlSJChurch dees not measure up to Its opportunities. I know we all like to congratulate ourselves on our big con gregations and on the amounts of our benevolences, but these things are not in themselves necessary evidences of a deep spiritual life. Any minister that comes to our city can attract more people than assemble here,- and if it happens to come on Wednesday night It can draw ten of you to where the prayer meeting can reach one. "Let me state you some things that are not pleasant,-but.' I believe that they are true and ought to be said. I say them not that I may offend you, but because I love you and with God's help want to lead you aright. The prayer meetings 1 of. this church are smaller in proportion to the else of the congregation than any that I ever at tended. There are fewer officers pres ent In those meetings than in anv church I have known. There are few er 'men and Women who seam to be full of seal in doing personal work for Christ. - "J feel a lack of prayer In the life of our church which at times weighs heavily upon me. "I do not want to be unjustly critical and censorious. I fully realise that I myself am In no small degree respon sible Jor these things, but I came to you" to-day, and say that, by the grace of Ged,I will henceforth strive to meet,"every obligation to this church," to thevfull measure oft my ability and I aak V In your hearts to promise to do the same thing. Oh, if there can only be real consecration to God. Oh, 1f we can only let go of the miserable eelflshness and vanities which . enslave us and dedicate our heart and lives to the kinerdora of God and his righteousness if we can put them first, where if there be any reality in them they belong.

Rawlinaon Hla Successor- Other Members South Carolina Dispensary Board " MesHrs. Wjlle, Black and Duke General As sembly Adjourns. Observer . Bureau, 1209 Main street. " , Columbia,, 8. C Feb. 17. It has. been frequently pointed out to this correspondence, for several weeks, that the South Carolina Gen eral Assembly would adjourn sine die without abolishing the State dispen sary or in anyway radically changing the dispensary system. This predic tion, which was finally and fully ver ified today, was based on the belief mat tne senate wouia suck to tne position .that, though a purification measure should he adopted, the State dispensary should not be abolished, and that the House would be equally stubborn for. the abolishment of the State dispensary, and that falling to agree, nothing would be done. The Joint assembly met In the House at noon and went Into the election of successors to Chairman H. H. Ev ans, of the directorate: Directors Jno. Bell Towlll and U W. Bovkin and Commissioner W. O. Tatum. Mr. Evans was beaten by Representative J. M. Rawlinson. of Richland, 108 to SO, a much severer defeat than anv of ' his friends were expecting. He failed to get the vindication he sought and -seemed to expect. Neither Mr, Towtll nor Mr. Boyktn offered for re-election, although they have served only one term. - To succeed ' them Joseph B.

WC lu Nicholson, Emphasizes the Need of 'Personal - Work by Christians and the Need ot a lUrvival -His Sermon Waa Basetl on the Account of Andrew Bringing reter to Christ, y--, - t .' ' it is very probable that ' more .than one pastor in Charlotte emphasized at his service ' yesterday .the need of a revival in the various churches or tne city This need is the subject that is much i talked and discussed j. by , the pastora In their meetings and their In terest in it la evident - In their, ser mon. .' i, , ' v ' ' ' "J i Yesterday morning at Brevard Street Methodist church the pastor, RevvW. I. Nicholson, spoke- In bis sermon of this need and used as his- text these words: He first nndeth his own broth er Simon and salth unto hlmr we have found the Messiah, which Is. being in terpreted, the Christ. And he brougn; hlnv to Jesus. John 1:41-42. In part he eatd: "In the latter part of this chapter we have accounts ot Incidents during three days In the life of; Jesus Christ. The first of these was when Jesus came to John the Bap tist, the first time, probably, after hia baptism; the second Incident was on the next day when John the Baptist seeing Jesus approach exclaimed: 'Be hold the Lamb of God,' and two ot his disciples left him and followed Je sus; the third, incident was when on the day following the two disciples, Andrew and the other supposed to be John, the brother of James, came to Jesus and Inquired Of Him where He dwelt. Jesus answered them In these words: 'Come and see,' and they went and saw where He dwelt, and remained with Him that night, for it was then about the tenth hour. "Let us for a little while this morn ing study the character of Andrew, and as a guide In this study let us take these three words, 'flndeth,' 'sa lth' and 'brought.' "Andrew was a personal worker for Jesus, and the first thing be did after meeting Jesus was to go and find His own ? brother Peter and bring him te Jesus. AndreW was not then especially commissioned to do this personal work but he did not wait for a special com mission; as soon as he came in con tact with the Lord he wanted to tell others of Him so that they might have in their hearts the same blessing which he had In his. This was proof that that spirit of God was dwelling in his heart, for Jn every heart where Hla spirit dwells that heart yearns to share that blessing with some one else. There are some things material things which diminish by division with others, but this was not so with spiritual blessings, for these increase by division with others. "Later on Andrew was commissioned by our Lord and sent out as a special worker for Him, but he was not s6 commissioned at the time of which we arp speaking. He had Just found the Lord, and he did not Walt for any special commission to tell the good news to others. So many of us when we are converted plead as an excuse for not becoming personal workers for Jesus that we are not gifted in speech, and plead other excuses that are Just as poor and Just as futile, but Andrew made no such excuses as these; he was anxious to a share the blessing which had come to him with others at once. He went and found first his brother Peter and told him that he had found Jesus. He did not wait un til he could speak eloquently and learn edly, but he went in his simplicity and carried the good news to his brother. He did not speak eloquently, hut he spoke earnestly, and that meant far more than eloquence without earnest ness. Again, he spoke with assurance, that assurance which confirmed the truth of his every word. This assur ance in the heart of any personal worker for Christ Is of .invaluable as sistance for his. heart commands con fidence in the one to whom he is speaking on the all-Important subject of salvation. "Andrew spoke to his brother about the Saviour and told his own experi ence; his effort-was to win his brother to the Lord, and the method used was the best he could have used. He did not stop to discuss creed of doctrine with him, but Just told him the simple story of Jesus and what He had done for him. It Is not denominational creeds that save men, but the power of Jesus Christ. A man can be a good Christian and be an Armenian in be lief, or he may be a Calvanlst and be a Christian; he can be a Presbyterian a Baptist or a member of any other denomination and be a Christian, for it is not the Church but. Christ -Who saves a man. "The result of Andrew's finding his brother and speaking to him of Jesus was that he brought him to Jesus and this result will crown the efforts of any man or woman who does personal work for Jesus In the spirit and with the earnestness qf Andrew; for such a spirit and such earnestness must result in suchess in soul winning. "We need a revival In all of pur churches in Charlotte; we need a great spiritual awakening, and God grant that such an awakening, such a revival may soon come to our city. We need personal workers in our churches, men and women who are consistent and spiritual in their lives, ! who will go out and seek others who are unsaved, and speak to them, and like Andrew, bring them to Jesus. Un less we do personal work for -our Lord we do not discharge our duty as His followers. Let us think of" this, and realize we responsiDlllty. resting upon us as Christian people, and dlscharra this responsibility as We should, by uuiiik; rvtu personal wont ". Mr. Nicholson spoke earnestly, , and the appeal he made for a mors con secrated and active church was feat by his congregation. He is doing faith ful work as pastor of this church. CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. Written for The Observer. -r That the spirit of clvlo progress is country-wide in Its manifestation Is shown .on every hand and those who are sceptical of -this truth need but to look around and acquaint themselves with the movements In many of the towns, villages,- and cities of our great Commonwealth. , , - Jv , I know ot no place where the citizens i taae a. greater pnae m tne beauty and progress of their city than do the pro gresaive citizen ot - Charlotte.-,-This being so, the question of -civlo im provement Is largely one of Individual Initiative. -. v ..-..'- ; The planting of trees, as suggested by a recent contributor, is a much needed Improvement, sven in Charlotte where many of the streets are already well-shaded. . There hi much ' "con structive" woi to be done In build ing up and beautifying the 'city.1 but "destructive'', work Is likewise needed,' In the removal of rubbish. cuttlmr down weeds on vacant lots, etc. - . . . is a love ox Deputy ana order being fostered In our children so . lontr they look daily upon. the Objectionable bill board, unkempt premises, rubbish piles, unsightly telegraph . and . tele, phone poles? Should some one say that it Is easier to note these thlnge than to suggest some effective method of making Improvements, we answer that agitation along these ' lines is very much needed; for when the. apfrlt of the people Is sufficiently aroused, the Success of any 'reasonable undertaking Is assured. These unsightly poles, with their network of wires. , which mar much of the residence as welt as busi ness .sections of the towA will he re- moved, -' ana . wares put t unaersround when the sentiment of the people Is so aroused as to demand It. ' , t Why not also Inaugurate a eruaade against the billboard? One onlyneeds to take a drive through ,the city and Us suburbs 'to fully realise the neces sity either for its removal or, regula A tlon. So ' objectionable has it become In many places that . tne - American Civic Association has - taken - up . the question of its removal. If -the plea be made that it ,1s a most ' effective method of advertising, we would quote you the words of an astute and ex. perlenced advertising agent: "Billboard advertising is of the poorest quality,' so far as results are concerned ana no critical ; advertisers, " who require tests to show value,' continue to use the signs along railroads and in other so called good , localities, l believe sign money la mostly wasted." What a bad impression too must be given, a prospective resident as he steps from the train, to behold these signs, some of them : almost offensive. How In finitely better- It would be if the eye could rest upon-' some attractive grass plot or "parking strip." Good work always breeds other good work; and to rid a city of the ob jectionable billboard will almost sure ly bring about-a general improvement. The signboard ; Is often nothing more than a wall to conceal a mass of rub bish, and with its removal will come also the removal of the filth and trash ,It conceals. Who of us that can not call up a picture of some vacant tot that had . become a public dumping ground, unkept premises with an ac cumulation of ashes, tin cans and all manner of rubbish? Not only Is this true of private residences, but the lota in the rear of many of the stores need a thorough cleaning up. The piles of old boxes, decayed vegetables, etc.. are neither ' attractive to the eye nor conducive ,tO health. Numbers would welcome a more frequent cleaning of the streets. Let me cite you what was done In one city,, In Harrisburg, Pa., the ladles of the Civic Club paid a man to keep three blocks of a paved street clear for one month. Apparent ly the work was lost, for it became dirty again and it was but three blocks out of two miles of paved streets. But the effort was not in vain, for later another member of the same organization (succeeded in in augurating a systematic plan for doing the work and now, although there are 25 miles of paved streets, a "white wing" brigade paid by the city keeps these perfectly clean and no one would dream of returning to the old way. The whole city has a share in this matter of civic Improvement. If the headSOf the different departments will rigidly enforce ordinances relating to garbage disposal and subject violators to the ordeal of appearing In the city courts, a speedy reform will be noted. We appeal to the people to give their support to those in authority both In enforcing ordinances already exist ing and in' creating new regulations wherever needed. It Is not sporadic attempts that we beg for, but vigorous, persistent, well sustained efforts on the part of the municipal authorities and the cordial support of every citizen. ANOTHER WOMAN.
