CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER," MARCH 9,, 1903. B UEEILNGS I0 COSTLNUE AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Revival Growing in Interest Vader the Powerful Preaching of Rev. Dr. V. McIanlcL of Richmond, Va.--M-rlc Mghtly Throughout Uw. Work and CM II Farther Notice -A Church Equipped" the Theme What Every urrh eeds mad frhoald lUe -The Example of the Church at Kpbcsus. Among the largest congregation aisles. ever assembled in any of the churcnes -T,arinii were mow u Baptist church yesterday. The ser wr imoresslva and truly evan piiBtlc. The sermons of Rev.

The meeting which "he Js conducting h will continue with a service ev that ft is substituting clever rmltatlon for dlrine Inspiration, and such a sub stitutlon never can avail In 'the up building of the Church, and in the salvation of the unsaved.

Thi afternoonat 4 o'clock he will speak on foreign missions at the re ... f th. Woman's Foreign Mis sionary Society of the church, and all men ana women i" luvuru w tihn at this time. Dr. McDaniel is pastor of the -church that probably gives the largest amount annually to the cause of foreign missions of any -1...W.1. in th Knnth. and It Is said that as a preacher he is never seen and heard to so great advantage aa when he is speaking on foreign mls- ' ,tAllf 'A Church Equipped" was the 1st armnn vsterdav at the mm - . morning service, and the words found i. i-?o wcr his text: "So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed." THE EPHESIAN CHURCH. The church at Ephesus," he said. 'rwi-imif a Drominent piace in m Tv,itio of PauL in the Acts of the Apostles, of Luke, and it stands first in the list of churches to which John ent his messages in Revelations. "The church at Ephesus was a church that was equipped; this church obeyed the command of John the Baptist when he cried, 'Repent.' The doctrine of repentance is a funda mental doctrine In the building of the Christian Church. The prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New Testament preached repent ance with the same spirit of earnest t!ss. It was from John the Baptist that Jesus Christ got Hia first note of the preaching of repentance. "O, we must have a heart-searching repentance If our churches of the present day are to be anything more than social clubs. , "In the Church of Ephesus people were so anxious to be recognised as the disciples of Jesus Christ that they were not only willing to be ibaptized rince, but they came and asked to foe baptized over again. "The Question Is often asked, 'Can you not be a Christian without being baptized?' Yes, you may. but not an obedient Christian. Jesus Christ says, If ye love Me. ye will keep My com mandments, and He commands that we be baptised. The Christian who has not been haptlzed Is like a man who would annear in the United States army In clvilan clothes and refuse to put on the uniform. TWO THINGS THE CHURCH NEEDS, 'This church at Ephesus had exper ienced genuine conviction and repent ance and that accounts largely for Its great usefulness. And no church can be what It should be, never can It ac complish what It should accomplish, until it has been cut with the knife of conviction and thoroughly per meated with repentance. . The church at Ephesus was a church that was filled with the Holy Spirit; It had been baptized with the Holy Ghost, and this accounts largely for Its great usefulness, "Paul remained longer at Ephesus preaching In this church than at any other one point. He remained there for three years and three months. He was a fearless preacher, and every preacher should be fearless, every preacher should be a man of courage. Do not ask your minister to preach to please, for It Is his duty to cry out against sin In every form. "The reason the Church has so lit tle Influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the Church. If you can't discipline, you can't (lve, and the Church must observe discipline. If It is to live. It Is said sometimes If the standard of the Church is raised high It drives the young people from the Church. I de- ty It. i YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE CHURCH. "Young people are not staylnr out of the Church because thestandard of the Church Is too hlghT but be-! rausa that standard Is brought too low by men who are living as mem-; hers of the Church. I am not re-; faring to the insignificant errors In; life, but to the sins which members of the Church are committing and are thus keeping others out of the mem-! bershlp. We are often turning young people out of the Churrh for inslg-j nlflcant pleasures of life, while we are, leaving older sinners Alone In their sins, leaving them In the Church.! where they are a stumbling-block continually In the way of others who1 might otherwise come Into the mem- bersnip of the Church. j "Again, the church at Ephesus was missionary church. It hsd the mis sionary spirit, and was the means of evangelizing all Asia Minor within ten years. The church that has the In ward look is digging its own grave, while the church that Is looking out ward is the church that is evangeliz ing the world. TWO POWERS EMPHASIZED. The special power of the church at Ephesus was emphasized In two ways: 1. Its faith. The Church of to-day is Jettlnir the 'Christian Pclen- uic irom 11 mucn ot mm tescn-; mg or the power of faith thst Is Its rightful heritage. The Christian erientws have many heresies, but. ihere Is en element of truth in their teaching, or their number of adher ents would not be so large. "2. The ability to ezpose and over throw error was the other war in which the special power of the church t Ephesus was shown. One great trouble with the Church of to-day Is Students of Elisabeth CoUere Con servatory of Music to Give Recital. A delightful recital Is promised In that which the students of the Eliza beta College Conservatory ef Music will rive thla evening at l:0 o'clock the Church that is proving effectual, in the college auditorium.

Greensboro Mill's Trouble Excite Con iderable Comment in Chariot le Interesting Developments Expect rd." The failure of the Pomona Manu facturing Company and the liquida tion of the City National Bank, tooth of Greensboro, have been fruitful top ics for dlscussioha-nvong the cotton mill men of the city for the past sev eral days. That both institutions vhad been hard pressed for some time was very generally known, but no onb an ticipated such developments as trans pired last Friday. The Pomona mill and the City National Bank were closely allied.. Messrs. W. S. Thompson and Lee H. Battle being prominently Identified with both and those who were Interested' In the bank were mostly Interested In the mill and vice versa. The execution by the officials of the mill of a deed of trust last Fri day, contrary, It Is alleged, to a vote of the stockholders at a recent meet-l Ing, and the sale by them of 1150,000 worth of bonds to two of the Insurance companies.

Cars From Piedmont to Hoskius Crowded to the IJmlt Yesterday- Warm Weather Made Sonic Relaxa tion Necessary. Uncounted hundreds rode for the first time yesterday over the new street car line to the Chad wick and Hoskins Mills. It is a long ride from Piedmont to Hoskins, .over six miles, for a charge of five cents and the beautiful day served Jo draw out the population. The cars which were op erated were crowded beyond their ca pacity for affording comfortable ac commodations and the scene resem bled that presented by the Dilworth cars when a circus la In town. The majority perhaps of those who took advantage of the only legal form of the immediate transfer of these funds Sunday dissipation open to them In to the City National Bank just a few hours hefore the mill was closed, were matters which excited the liveliest speculation. That the creditors of the mills will attack the validity of these bonds goes without question. If the stories in circulation are true, there will be some interesting developments brought to light when the matters are aired In the courts. Mr. C. W. Tlllett, who represents the Whltln and Woonsocket machin ery concerns, of Massachusetts, left Saturday night for -New York and Boston, Mass., on business. House Boom For High Sheriff Is Launched. "Gentlemen and fellow-cltlzens, I want to place before the people the name of another man as a candidate for the office of high sheriff of Meck lenburg county," .declared Mr. W. H. Hall, to an Informal 'gathering at the police station last night. 'That can didate, sirs. Is none other than the re doubtable Mr. E. M. House. From Union county he came to the city. The first position of trust he occupied was that of driver of the city wagon. Later he was promoted to the police force and to-day he is assistant ser geant of police. Basing my claftn that he Is qualified for the position upon his own record of service, I submit his candidacy with confidence to the sturdy yeomanry of patriotic Meck lenburg." ' That race Is destined to be a corker. W hence Spring These Reports? Fate seems determined to circulate rumors about wrecks on the Chad-wlck-Hosklns street car line. Satur day night a rumor got afloat that a man had been killed. Investigation proved that some one had' been seen to jump off, or something . similar. Last night an even more malignant type of report said that a car had been" wrecked and 14 people killed or Injured. Of course, there was abso lutely nothing to It, but numerous tel ephone calls attested the widespread circulation of the false tidings, created In some fertile Imagination. m r ' Home Catarrh eold In head.

For several days pst there has been a rumor afloat In the city to the effect that the Wachovia Loan and Trust Company, of Winston-Salem, Is conslderlnr the advwabillty of estab lishing a branch 'banx In Charlotte. The Wachovia now nas branches In Salisbury. Spencer, High Point and Ashevllle and is one of the very strongest' financial institutions In the State.

Owing to the fact that the situ ation here, however. Is well covered already and In view of the fact a desirable site Is not easily procurable, the probabilities of a Wachovia in stitutlon In Charlotte are rather slim. , .
