The greatest religious meetings in the history of the town were held Sunday at the Anchor warehouse under the preaching of Rev. George Stuart; People gathered from far and near and it was the opinion of all who expressed themselves that they had never seen so much of the good work crowded into one day Notwithstanding the rain jes terday morning the warehouse was almost filled. Mr. Stuart took for the basis of his remarks "Home Authority." God chose Abraham because he would do what God wanted him to do. The home question, Mr. Stuart said settled all things. Isaac got his training at home. The preacher made a strong appeal to the parents to be gin and carry on the work in the homes. With a force of conviction that almost carried the audience as by fire. Mr. Stuart brought out the results of the home for good and evil. THE CHRISTIAN'S INFLUENCE. "I met Talmage soon after he returned from a trip to tbe old country. I told him how I should liked to have been with him, and adcfed that I shouldn't have cared to see the old ruins of castles or such.but some of the living things, the great statesman Gladstone, for instance. Mr. Talmage remarked that his stay with this kingly old man was the greatest thing of his trip. The beautiful Christian sur roundings of this noble old war rior. Gladstone said that, after all, there is only one question that will settte international strifes, and that is Christianity. I have sat at the table of Christian characters occupying the highest' place of trust in their city and State, men like William J. Bryan and others and it is a great thing to see what Christian influence does. Christian influence must be fol lowed by Christian example. The way to decrease drunkards is to quit raising them. The way to stop liars is to quit raising them. At this point Mr. Stuart with em phasize and power demonstrated to the parents that they must set a good example to their children. He said he had never known a child lost where all the conditions at home were f ullfilled. He said that he made this assertion once in.presence of Dr. Atkius who in sinuated that he was talking too soon, that he might have to lake it back. Mr. Stuart said that he meant it that if any of his flock got wrong he would go home, get them right and begin again. AFTERNOON The afternoon servicep were specially for the ladies but all were invited. The sermon was an ap peal to the women to be strong that' they might fullfill the great duties God had set before them. NIGHT SERVICE The meeting last night was the most wonderful in the experience of those prssent. The ladies had been asked to remain at home in order that the men might have the room, By 7 o'clock the ware house was nearly filled. By the time the service began there were at least 3500 men present. Most of them had their coats tS , it was hot, and Mr. Stuart finding that the- men were thus making tlierq selves comfortable, ' decided he would do the same. He started in close to the hearts of his hearers and got , closer as he proceeded. He took Daniels decision to do the right thing under trylngand fiat tering circumstances for the ground work ot h's structure and it was 1 great effort. Mo man could have made a greater one. We will not go into the details. At the close 1500 Christians, men Christians. pledged for a more con secrated life. After that an invita tion was given to the unconverted and 500 responded. Never was such a scene in High Point and every one present felt the power and influence of it. Mr.Stuart should remain in High Point a week longer if possible. STUART MEETINGS Notwithstanding the fact that the first part of meeting Tuesday night was given over to the con cert, starting later than usual, it proved to be the best meeting that has been held. The song service led by Mr. Hunter was soul stirring and put the congregation in a good frame of heart when Mr. Stuart began preaching. Tne sermon was said by many to have been the strong est the Evangelist has yet preach ed. He chose for his text "What soever a man sowetn tnat snail ne also reap. '' The presentation of this truth in all of his phases was strong and the effect of the preach er's words was felt throughoutjthe entire congregation. Mr. Stuart is able in illustration and on this occasion he reached the hearts of the people with what Mr. Jones terms a "straight shot." When an invitation was given to the un converted there was a spontaneous movenjent and many asked for prayers of the Christian people. During the service as many as 40 or 50 it seemed made professions. Interest ii the meeting is increas ed every day .and so large is the attendance especially at night that many people go out before dark in order to secure seats. Mr. Stuart is leading a good movement for our town and we hope that he will remain as long as possible. MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT The Anchor warehouse was filled Thursday night to hear Mr. Stuart, the attendance estimated at 2000. As usual the singing was good although there should be twice as many singers on the ros trum. Mr. Stuart preaching on "Hiding Sin" taking his text from Genesis where it is recorded how our first parents hidafter their fall. Mr. Stuart drew some very striking pictures from life illustrat ing the gradual down fall of a man. How we begin with a little thing and after the Devil gets a hold on us leads us out into deep waters to perish. His whole discourse was based on a simple little story of a boy edging in on a cherry pie while his mother was away. F'irst there was a small lump of sugar on a cherry that stuck out of the top of the pie. After eating that, he took the cherry. Then another cherry disappeared. After a while he got his conscience- seared enough to cut a slice out of the pie and on he went, until he had devoured the whole pie. A simple story, plain 10 all and served the preachers purpose in pointing out a great truth. No man ever in tends to fall when ' he starts out. The lesson was a most impressive one and at the close the results were seen by at least 60 people going up v and asking the prayers of the Christian people. . A GREAT MEETING ' The meeting at the warehouse Friday sight was the greatest of week. There were perhaps 1000 more people present than on the night previous and Mr. Stuart was at his best if we can make any distinction at all because all of his discourses are good. The main point in the sermon was a strong presentation of a man's life influence. Everyone has an influence great or small for good or evil. Mr. Stuart emphasized the fact that the young people did not follow in the foot steps of the fallen. No boy would follow a drunkaid. It was the man who drank a little but did not eet drunk; the man that attended the theatre, but not the worst the man who played cards but did not gamble. These kind of people were the ones who as a rule were dangerous examples to young people. The preacher seemed to feel every word that he uttered and with force a jd eloquence tried to burn this truth into the hearts of the people. He preached for over an hour but it did not seem half so long, throughout the vast audi ence there was wrapt attention. As far as we could judge there were perhaps 75 people who responded to Mr. Stuart's invitation. D. H. Baker is building a nice residence for himself at his farm two miles from town on the A rch dale road. Mr. Lea who has been laid up for six weeks with rheumatism left yesterday for Hot Springs, Ark. SICELOFF ENLARGING Messrs. Pickett and Welch have given contract for the en largement of the store occupied by Siceloff Hardware & Grocery Lo. Another story will be added run ning back 107 feet which will double the capacity of the store, The Siceloff Hardware -Co. is do ing a splendid business and the enlargem nt of house is necessitat ed by their increased trade. THE TRUTH ABOUT WAR Truth about war cannot be told. It must be seen. The living his tory of Port Arthur is no longer veiled in the mist of words, but the sublime panorama itself, sub lime because it is the actual scene of Sublime daring, heroic sacrifice and diabolical ingenuity, will be unveiled at the exhibition of Ly man H. Howe's new Lifeorama ic Auditorium on Sept. 25th. It is a spectacle that attracts be cause here clashed the resources of two empires; here the hearts throbs ot great people raged like the wind from two seas swept into a typhoon of gore and grief. Here in brief, is the truth of war as it is. DANVILLE'S WHISKEY PROBLEN A prominent citizen of Danville, Va., who was a Charlotte visitor Saturday, gave the Charlotte News man some interesting news con cerning the wet and dry election held in that city last week. The gentleman referred to above is too modest to allow his name to appear in this article. He is also a prohibitionist and belongs to the crowd that was defeated. But, he is positive that no contest will be made and that the "wets" will be allowed to open saloons provided they live up to the requirements of the city council And, right here is where the gentleman from the city by the Dan, smiltd a broad and knowing smile. The council of Danville is as dry as a powder horn and the members of that body will see to it that the men who secure liquor license will have to open wide their pocketbooks. While it is not ex pected that the tax rate will be placed so high as to shut out all would-be-dealers in liquors but there "will not be near as many rum mills in Danville as there were before the city voted to rid itself of the bar rooms. The Board -'of Aldermen will make a-mistake to continue the fight after the polls are closed.

Sully has issued the following circular and sent throughout the South. Hear his argument: Conditions unparelled, but ab solutely legitimate, have forced upon me the conviction that the time is opportune for an extensive Bull campaign in cotton. Having received many requests to organize a Bull Campaign, I have, after mature, deliberate, and careful consideration of the condi tions that surround cotton this year, decided to accept subscrip tions for that purpose, believing that advantage should at once be taken, at present prices, to secure a large-. pdVtion oft- the inevitable advance in cotton, which is sure to occur between now and March 1st, 1906. In 1903, unknown, unaided and alone, I proved to the world that my convictions were sincere, and J that courage was not )acking to freely and fearlessly expound the knowledge I had derived from careful study of the situation. What I accomplished two years ago, I bel(f ve I can and will do again, aided by experience of the past, the conditions as they exist, the knowledge at my command ,and the necessary capital. Being convinced that no better opportunity has ever been offered, where the possibilities were so great, and that a profitable cut come will be the result. Being convinced that there nev er was a time, when the demands or the world for cotton were so great, as they are at present, and being convinced that every bale of American cotton now in sight, and every pou d produced this year, will not meet the requirements of the world's spindles for the com ing season. Cotton must advance. If the people over there honestly voted in whiskey give it to them. Make the license high enough but prohibitive. It would hurt the prohibition cause in the end. MRS. DR. BURTON CRITICALLY ILL Mrs. Dr. Burton who has been con fined to her room for several days with kidney affection hasbeenerow irg worse since early this morning and the report from the house at 2 o'clock is that she is critically ill and her physicians fear the worst. Much anxiety is felt by our citizens' generally on account of the condition of this good wo man and hope yet that they may be a change for the better.
