""r,y .VV?',.-t:;:'," -Vi"-- ," ,, An Eloquent Sermon on "Soul Win ning" No Difference Between a Sinner In the Church and One Without The Greatest Thing one May Do. The Hubject of the sermon at the Holcomb meeting at the morning service was "Soul Winning." Mr. Holcomb used the words of the last two verses of the epistle of James as his text: "Brethren, If any of you do err from the truth, and one con vert him. let him know, that he which converteth the sinner frrm the error of his way. shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multi tude of sins." ".Error of any kind," said Mr. Hoi comb, "lodareg first In the brain of man, then reaches to the heart, and then goes out Into the life. "One of the great errors of to day Is questioning the Inspiration of certain parts of the Bible, it would be far better for all of us if we would accept all of the Bible as Inspired in stead of wasting time and falling in to error by questioning one part and another of it. And It would be far better for us if we would accept as true all that the Bible has to say about sin and its results, and live as the Bible directs. "It Is this error that grows out of questioning the truth of parts of the Bible that leads people into Dowle Ism, Christian Science. Unltarlan Ism. Unlversallsm and Spiritualism. "There Is no difference In a slnnor out of the Church and a sinner In the Church. All sinners are alike. I used to preach different sermons to sinners in the Church and sinners out of the Church, but I don't do that now. Sinners are all alike, and I preach the same., Rer.rnons to all. The only way for 'any amu.'. to "Ot saved Is to repent of his sins and stop ainning, and look to Jesua Christ for salvation. The sinner who truly repents will stop sinning. "It Is a great privilege that God has given us to lead sinners from the error of their way and get them free from the bondage of many sins. The biggest thing a man ever did was to save a soul from aeam. ana hide a multltudo of sins.'" AT HEART A HERO. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.

When the Seaboard train was com ing toward Charlotte yesterday about the noon hour, It began slowlng-up for the wreck at Brown creek, on the other side, that Is eastward of Polkton. As it was drawing through a shallow cut, a rude son of the soil, seventeen years old, barefooted and accompanied by his two bench-legged fires, came running along the edge of the cut, about on a level with the car windows, waving his hat fran tically and shouting: "Stop! Stopl Thar 's a wreck at Brown crick!" The engineer probably did not see him, and the passengers on that side of the train merely smiled at the rude swain; but the men in the smok ing compartment say that the lad was at heart as much a hero as any of red-shirt ed or red-skirted char acters In fiction who saved imaginary trains from disaster. When the train did stop a few minutes later, passengers . expressed the wish that the boy might -rest under the Impression that he had MTtd.lt .1 ': - .-1' Little globules of sunshine that drive iha r lmids swar.

I only took a few bottles when I was en tirely cured. I then commenced to use it In my family for general use and we depended on It for breaking up rolds, neuralgia and most of the troubles one's family In subject to. Four years ago, Just three months before the'blreh of one of my chil dren, I was taken down with measles, which weakened me greatly. My stfmach would not retnln a thing snd I was in a serious condition. With the consent of my physician, I sgaln started on Mrs. Joe Person's Reme dy. I commenced to build up at once, and I believe It carried me safely through my trouble. I believe I would have died had I not taken It. I do not think there Is a medicine Its equal when a tonic Is needed to build up the system. MRS. W. F. PUCKETT. Huntersvllle, N. C, R. F. D. 20, March 10, 10. $100,000 City of Concord, N. C.
