"In answer to the argument of Greensboro that Charlotte is not cen trally enough located for State con ventions," said a thoughtful man, "how about Denver as a place for na tional meetings?" The street cars were called Into requisition often yesterday to supply - bfeeses and change of scene. Many went to the parks. The sun beat down mercilessly, no Intervening 1 clouds interfering to protect the sweltering inhabitants of the heat ridden world. i Photographer W. M. Morse, who .made such an excellent series of ' pictures, of the decorations, street scenes1 and the Auditorium during the State Democratic convention, ha disposed of scores of them to those who" desire to keep fresh their recol lections of this memorable event.

TO "WIN S0UL8 ITS MISSION WROXQ' IDEAS ABOCT OBXRCH Rer, Dr. H. H. Ilulten on e susMoa r of Uo Church of eu uma- Dm Irs Some Mistaken Conceptions Xeither Polltk-al N or EducaUon- al, A'or Humanitarian, ,tocial i-atprw Ountaln In ThenwelTC the Element of Reality or Make up tl Whole Content of the -Purpose of - the Church of God. v : :' ,- ' ' Not political; not educational, not humanitarian, not'ocial in it mis sion v l f he Churctt otjesus nnw That mission, first, last and all th time. 1 oul winninr. .-Thl U th po sition - defended and developed yes terday mornlr by Rev. Dr. H. H. Hulten. at th. First Baptist church. While understanding th Importance one, of these feature oi uie ana effort of - the cnuren, in nreacher aald that . the ' wln- inr t-' nf 'lmmortat souls for ChrUt wa th purpos for which the disciples of the Nazarene have been sent forth and this fact should never be lost sight Of. - The text of the sermon was. ' "As th Father hath sent me, eveji so send I'you." W have her the !m nle declaration of Jesus, setting forth th supreme mission of th church of Jesus Christ.. This setting forth may be accomplished by making first four negative' affirmations concerning It and eliminating these one by one. "In the first nlac it mission Is not polltl cal. Thl we Interpret to mean that It Is not the business of the Church to make laws, run the government or esnouse the cause Of political candi dates. But It has the right to take a hand In any matter which affects the welfare of th human race. NOT" EDUCATIONAL. Its mission, secondly, is not edu cational. Some people think that so long as the Church people are pour ing their money in a golden stream into educational Institutions, it Is ful filling Its highest and holiest mission. Therefore, Wake Forest, has had but little difficulty lately In raising iiuo. 000 to be added to that college. The speaker believes in education and in I'hrlstlan education. The day is probably not far distant when the Baptlats will place 11.000,000 into tne hands of Dr. Potest and give another fl.000.0p0 to Dr. R. T. Vann, of the Baptist University for Women, so that it will be then no longer neces sary to send girls to the North for the best and most complete education. But let no one suppose for a moment that -the supreme mission of the Church is education. Neither is It . humanitarian In character. A great many people think that by clothing the naked, feeding the hungry and ministering to the ick they are Obeying the divine injunction, and hence the Church has gone into the hospital business and Is spending much time running soup houses. Jesus Christ preached a humanitarian Gospel. He saved not only the soul ef man, but the whole man, including, the p,hlsycal and men tal. He never preached to a man on on an-empty " stomaiCh. He looked after mental distemper as well as physical allmenti. And the mission of the Church is net social In it character. How widespread Is this fallacious concep tion. So many people make the Church simply a social convenience. They come to church because they think they will here see and shake hands with some old friend whom they have not seen in a long time. What a prostitution of the privileges of worship! BREAKING INTO SOCIETY. "Some people when they come to town." declared Dr. Hulten, "look around to see which church has the greatest social prestige and govern themselves accordingly. There was once a time in the history of this church when it had no social pres tige, and there are hundreds of peo ple in the other churches of the city to-day are Baptists at heart, but Join' ed the ofher churches to gain social standing. I thank God that this church has now grown to such great ness that it la no longer necessary that anyone should thus prostitute their church relationship." The speaker told of a man who stayed at home and complained that when he went to the Sunday school nobody spoke to him, the leaders of the Baraca class said nothing to him and even the preacher at the close of his sermon did hot shake hands with him. "Shame on any man who couia so play the baby act," exclaimed the speaker in tones of scorn. "Shame on any man who thinks the only .bus iness of any preacher is to run about with a basket of sugar sticks and feed the people on social life. Don't degrade the dignity of divine worship and its privileges in 'any such fashion as that." ' Since the mission of the Church Is none of these things, what Is it? "As the Father hath sent me, even so send I you." Jesus here is talking to "his disciples and any injunction he placed on them applies equally to us. For what purpose did the Father send Jesus? To seek and save that which wa i laat-rrHHJUl wrtnlngr Lt .; your Church be Interested so far as neces sary In the affairs of government; let it take a prominent part In the edu cational progress of the country; let it be foremost in performing acts of kindliness and mercy to the afflicted; let its life be adorhed with the sweet graclousness of soclaLintetCQurseJbut remember that these four , are only side Issues. They must step, aside and give wav for this fundamental ralson d'etre of the Church of Christ. HOW TO FULFIL IT. . ' The question then arise How may this mission be fulfilled? In the first place, we must come to a realisation of the fact of sin. They tell us that we must have something to save a man to. a llf of respectability, o ciety. heaVen." But first you must save him from something, and that something- Is the fact of sin. We hav forgotten to portray to people th un pleasant tde of-tha picture W must realise the fact of the Gospel, too. Th speaker declared that whenever-h lost -hi grip on God Word h irould step down and out of th pulpit, leaving it to be occupied by some man-who-had not-W want the Gospel, without the additions of human philosophy or New England higher 1 criticism. .we are drifting way.:-'v- . . - - ' "I understand that- there Is a preacher in a town not 100 miles from ChattotU.'T :-. declared the -.epeaker, "who gets up in th pulpit every Sun day and preaches on such subjects as, TheAUntversaL Fatherhood i of - God nd The Universal .Brotherhood of Man.' All of it hv Unitarian ism pure and simple. I am sick and tired ef men preaching a syetemraf ethtoaJfl the pulpit Instead . of the. Gospel -of CnrlSt.V - -rrt'r . Dr. Hulten told of ah Incident in the early life of George G. Lorlmer, just 1 budding Into brilliant ' manhood theHT and"TnartKrXTePuTatT5ff'arpTiri pit orator. An .influential Eastern church sent a committee to hesr him with view .to calling- him. - H preached three -sermon In their p res- nc. Th first wa on "Future Pun ishment. The second was on "Judg ment." The third was on, "Cleans ing Blood,"' He got only-two-vote out of th congregation to which the committee reported . these- subjects. They told him later ha preacned too . ' ; Cut gfass; furniture, rugs, curtains.- 1 1 IV It is for cleaning jut such articles as ;7 these that Ivory ?

Little did that congregation lm- orlr. that that vnnnr man Wa to stand not long after inlhe..pulp!t Pf one of the most metropolitan churcnes In the world and there sway the thousands with the thunderbolt' of his eloquence. The church which re fused him had then 1,600 member It has now 200. It has called a hun dred pastors, but no man will take charge of It. "That church Is dead," exclaimed Dr. Hulten, "and it ought to be buried." "Men and women," said he in ron clusion, "would you lead a transform ed life? Then o down on your kneel and stay there until God gives you the vision of the long-lost world." MIDSUMMER COMMUNION.. Special Service at First Presbyterian Church Yesterday Morning Muslo 8plcndld. Mldmimmer . communion servlco was held at the PlrsAt Presbyterian church yesterday morMng. A large congregation was present. Rev. Dr. W. M. Klncald. the pastor, conducted the service, assisted by a large num ber of the ruling elders. There were thirty-four additions to the church, seven on profession and . twenty seven hy letter. - The music at both morning and ovenlntf ervlee was particularly good. Miss I'enneld, soprano, ssiik. at the communion service. Ambrose's exquisite 'one Sweetly Solemn Thought." Miss May Oates, con tralto, rendered at the evening service Del Rlego's "O ' Ivln Father." Both were given with soulful Interpretation and Impressive effect. Curiosity Shop IKiy Hold Court House Service. That the end of the world Is a-com-Ing and usurer now than it has ever been before is the contention of Mr. Tom r, Hege, who spoke yesterday afternoon In the court house, quoting thlrteps lines of prophecy to sustain his position. No collection was taken, a collection box for voluntary offer ings being the nearest approach to thl. The special drawing card of the aftcrnoo.il was the singing of Mr. liege, al two fuvorltn songs. The evan gelist, according to his bill poster. Is known In Charlotte as the Curiosity Shop Boy. f Board of Aldermen Meet To-Night Purely speculative are prophecies as to what will transpire at the July meeting of the board of city alder men, scheduled for to-night at the mu nicipal building. The meeting Is-an Important one for the reason that this Is the period of the year at which appropriations mut be made for the coming year, last year's books exam ined and the budgets submitted care fully scanned. The finance committee has already performed its duty in this regard and to-night it will make rec ommendations to the board. Other matters, also, will come up. Mrss. Dodswortu About the Same Yes terday. Mr. L. A. Dodsworth, who ran down from Salisbury for a few hours yester day afternoon, stated while In the city that Mrs. Dodsworth, Who Is at the Whitehead-Stokes Sanatorium. was holding her own and that If she pass ed as good day to-day aa she did yes terday that the worst would be over The crisis Is expected to-day.
