Tin* committee from the Asheville Retail Merchant* association recently appointed for ‘the purpose of looking Info the Asheville Country dub prop osition has made report strongly rec ommending that the Merchants asuo-: elation do what is within their power to assist the Asheville Country club in providing a good golf combe. Pursu ant to this matter the president of the organisation, «. Baylor Rogers, and the secretary. I.* P. Ho watt, have sent out a circular letter clearly setting forth the needs Of a golf bourse and the advisability of the business men of the oity to encourage the pro post-1 tion. After referring to the commit* tee s report endorsing *the movement for a fine goH course the circular let ter says: • 1 ',',t "*1 ’ 41 The Asheville Country dub as newly reorganised has purchased 41 acres of the land formerly used aa a golf course by the old Swannanoaa I’mrnm’^^bj-and^iiancompleted-rhe greater part of the' payments upon this property. Upon this land has hcen laid out a part-of a golf course, hut there is not* sufficient room for a full course. The club has, therefore, within the patt month leased about io acres additional upon a long term lease with the privilege Of purchase, and therefore feds that It Is perma nently and advantageously located for many years to comp, provided the proper encouragement And support is given to the club by the merchants and residents of Asheville.

In making the announcement, he' said he always looked forward with' great tnteerst to the flrat nHd-weck prayer meeting when he went to * new charge. He urged a large attend ance upon these meetings, adding that the people Who go to' prayer meeting are usually the folks who have to he depended on t* do the Church work. Rls ICtt wae John 15. t, “If ye abide in me. and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye' WfH, and It ahall he' done unto you." lhrayer was the topic of the sermon. The test, he said, was a philosophy of prayer. Before entering specifically on the discussion of prayer, he called atten tion to the nfcf that the test was round In the "Vlwi sad branch" chapter. The significance of an organic connec tion between Christ and his followers was explained. ■ * ' ’ One of the lehsOne that the gifted young preacher drew out of the «e*t wae the free agency of man ah *pg gested m* the word "abide." He ,de nned the Words “abide In me" ae keep ing Christ’s Commandments and de clared that the verse,"" as It' whole, opened Up the gateway of true prayer. Mr. McLerty said that there la a' crying need for more' prayer In at#' churches. ' Poe one to shy that ho hasn't thne to pray Is as preposterous as It would be |o say that a locomotive hasn't time tp stop and take on coa) and waiter. The great men of the church prayed a gnat deal—their Work was In proportion to their prayer. “The amount of time we give shell day to prayer;” Mr. McCarty aald, “Is our estimate of the value of pray er." He pointed out the fact that Christ spent whole nights In prayer. We need not think tse one will And out how little we pray—our spiritual Weakness and flabbiness give ue away. Prayer costa time. The scientific spirit of the time, Mr. [McCarty suggested, had something to do with tho lack of ittcttnatloit on the :part of Christiana to pray as much as they ought. Science says that every thing happens by a fixed law, so why Waste time praying over what la fixed? .'•This," aald the minister, "IS making law a good and forgetting the great personal power behind, the law. It Is opr ’privilege ' to' modify law." In stances of modified natural law were given a£ being' the manufacture of toe and tho use of (lying machines A very striking definition qT prayer that Mr. McT-arly gave wae that pray er la giving God a chance at us, Another striking remark was “The .fatherhood of God Is the challenge to prayer." elaborating this thought, he Went on to Shy that God wants us to aak for what we wept and delights In .giving It'to tie If It Is for our good. - Mr. McCarty expressed his desire to '.get acquainted with the members of the church as early as posslhle "tot u» lose BO Urpe in formalities.’' he on* Joined, npt t|S coup|s right up and go work.” He told hi* congregation that they could criticise him as much :Sii they chode for he wAsn’t a bit sen* jHtive but one thing he Would rigidly insist on and that was that they must lalways pray f*r him before criticising him. The Oholr presented a vfcry ertjoyg blO program Including a solo, "Oh, God Be Mw&fUL” splendidly rendered by MBs Josephine Gtlnier. of Waynesville. There was also, repeated from the Thanksgiving cantata, an anthem In which Mrs. P. J. Sparker took the soh> part most acceptably. ‘ Rev.
