The series of prayer services. Which haVM beer, conducted each day fur tlie past week at the Y. M. O. A. building;, was concluded yesterday af ternoon at. the regular Sunday after noon men's meeting held at 4 o'clock. lr. C. K. llaynal, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Statesville, wag the speaker and he talked on "The Thing that are Gods." K. B. Stlmson was the soloist for the meet ing and Miss Eula Wright acted as accompanist. The meeting was largely attended. Dr. Raynal is a very forceful speak er and In his address he pointed out the necessity of rendering unto God those things that are His. He made it clear that there are certain obliga tions to the Supreme Being that must be met, just as men must meet obliga tions to each other. The man who falls to meet his worldly obligations, he said, when he Is In a position to meet them is considered lacking In some moral capacity, and this moral defect is still more pronounced In the nun who fall to meet their obligations to God. The speaker also devoted considerable time to pointing out Just how these obligations may be recog nized. The boys meeting, held at 3 o'clock in th-3 afternoon, was also addressed bv Raynal. who spoke to the younger members of the association on "Op portunity." This meeting was more largely attended than any this year. One of the most largely attended meetings for some time was also held in lh association hall adjoining the Highland hotel at 5 o'clock In the afternoon, when Prof. Roberts, prin cipal of the North State Fitting school, addressed the men of the depot sec tion. The address was most Interest ing, and the musical program most enjoyable, Misa Lucile Dinkins being in charge of the music. C. H. Burt was the speaker at the meeting held at the Riverside club house in the cotton mill section. He spoke on the life and works of Abra ham and received the close attention of all present. : , Ha Had a Specialty. . "A young man should learn to do one thing well. This is an age of special ists.

After my admission to the bar a Wend of Mr. Larkins, of the law firm of Larking, Larrabce & Lincoln, gave me a letter to him recommending me for a salaried position in his office. I was advised to see Mr. Larkins at his house, where I would receive more friendly attention than in his office. I called about 4 o'clock, expecting to find him returned from his office, but since he bad been detained there later than usual I concluded to wait for him. I was shown Into a large draw ing room as dimly lighted as those of most city dwellings. Indeed, since It was winter and the days were short there was hardly any light at all be cause of heavy window drapery. A door opened Into a conservatory, and while sitting in profound silence I heard a succession of oaths. There were two Incongruities connected with the matter. In the first place, the pro fanity came from out a profusion of flowers and, in the second, was spoken In a woman's musical voice. Further more, they did not express Irritation, the lady who spoke them seeming to be simply rolling them out Just to hear them. In other words, as they were uttered there was no meaning to them. They soon stopped and were followed by a few notes of song, In the same sweet voice as the oaths. Then a young girl came out of the conserva tory, passed through the drawing room, unconscious of my presence, and, swearing like a trooper as she went, passed out Into the hall and upstairs. I got a view of her as she passed a gas Jet that bad just been lighted, and her face was as Innocent of guile as her tongue was defiled. I was especially pleased that she did not see me, for she would doubtless have been deeply mortified. Mr. Lar kins came in presently, and I presented my note of introduction, which was In strumental in securing for me the place J coveted. I soon learned that he had a daughter who was considered a beautiful girl, and I Inferred that she was the one I bad heard uttering pro fanity. I was curious about her, for I could not understand how a refined woman could have a fancy for listen ing to oaths ottered by herself. I had not been long In the employ of Larkins, Larrabee &' Lincoln when Mr. Larkins Invited me to dine at his house. I accepted gladly and on the evening appointed appeared at the house in evening dress and wearing my best expression. It seemed singu lar that I should be desirous of Im pressing a girl who could swear "like an army In Flanders,", but such was the case. When introduced to her I found it difficult to repress a smile, thinking as I did how shocked she would be did she know that I had heard her at her worst I can't say that Miss Laura Larkins was a demure young lady, bnt she I gave one the impression of being very refined, modest, pure, inoeea, sue was the last person I would have supposed would Indulge In the unladylike habit of swearing. To tell the truth, there was something so novel, In such mark ed contrast in bearing a lovely girl with a sweet voice uttering profanity that I wished she would do It again. But instead her words were well cho sen and pure English, there was not a bit of slang, and everything she said was refined. This Introduction at the house of my employer resulted In a love affair be tween me and Miss- Larkins. After swblle I was made a Junior member of the law firm where I was employed, and. being aDnroved br Mr. Larkins as ! a son-in-law, I was accepted and duly ' engaged. While I bad been fascinated by the lucongruity of oaths spoken in a melodious voice, I was at times trou i bled by this peculiarity. Might not a girl i who would give vent to such expleUves have something bad about her Inner I self which some day would crop out j to shock me? I wished to tell her that J I had beard her swear and hear ber ' explanation, bnt could not bring myself ' to do so. So I went on, subject to oc ; csslonsl fits of terror lent I would mar. ry one whose devilish nature might burnt forth at any moment I My fiancee was at the time I met her a college girl. One day I took np in her limine the book of a play in which OnVpaH that "of a man, was marked throughout While reading It I came upon the very oaths I had heard her utter. Here was an explanation. She had performed this part A moment later when she entered the room I fired them at her. , "Oh." she said, "you have been read Ins the part I played at college. We girls were expected to leave those swear words out. But we never did at rehearsal." "Why not?" "Why does any girl fancy what she is supposed to let alone?" Then I told ber of the first time I saw her bow while I was shocked I was pleased. She said that It was that same shock, that desire to break In upon forbidden things, that pleased girls. She also confessed that several of the girls who took part In the play, unrepressed by authority, were In the habit of rolling out the oaths I bad heard her use Just for the pleas ure of doing something they had no business to do. As for herself, she played the part of the man who did the swearing. . I asked her to do it just once mace and after that never to do it again. She declined to oblige me. ... Might Work.
