He is like a refiner's fire and he shall sit as a refiner and puri fier of silver. As is the refiner's fire to the crude' ore, so is the heat of God's love to erode hu man character. God is the Master Refiner, he purges 'the dross from our soul's metal. His cnasenings are the fire of purifi cation, not the heat of burning anger, but the heat of an all consuming love, to finish Chris tian life is the products of the refining work.. When things go against me, I often wonder why is the : pain, why this sorrow, whythis misfortune, why this bereavement, why am I so dis appointed These are questions that burn in every careless chris tian life. We cause it all by for getting God. Thus he draws us back to him by chastening us, he whispers to my heart, "I am refining thee, submit.' A man starts out in a successful busi ness, -every new venture proves profitable and adds to his grow ing pile of gold. Bight then he forgets to pray, forgets to thank God for the bounty He has given him; he makes gold hi3 God; for that gold supplies all his earthly needs. Then failure comes, his gold god slips away from him and passes into the hands of others. Gone hiu millions, gone his God and in this miserable state he thinks of his real God of (leaven and returns. He begins life anew, with new vows, and new ideali. He then is a chang ed man. He has passed through the Refine'rs lire. Just so with a happy family living together in peace and harmony, rejoicing in each oiler's sodety as ibers rcjjic in tin sunshi A'l u one and one is all. The earth to them is a circle who-ie circum ference reaches no wider than the outer wall of their hame. They never think that circle must be broken. All are bright and happy together, at last an Angel t coxes that way and breaks' that chord of Igve that so tightly ho!Js the circle around i.MA in 1 bull J.- with .tile frig menu a Hutc rd mound on the hill :4Je. Where the gate is shut artd Larred. Now that hitm U wiiling to live and let live for others , and have others live for them. They have passed through the ttefiner's fire. Several of our young people gathered at Mr. C A. Monks last Saturday night in honor of Misses Wrenn and Carver, of. Warrer.s Grove,' but it turned out to be an April fool, as they failed to appear. Mrs. Monk and little daughter Edna visited Mrs. John Monk last night. The wedding bells will soon ring In honor of two of our Hurdle Mill young people. We would gladly welcome Mrs. E. L. Wrenn over to see us. Don't forget Sunday is Roper's day to preach at this place. Be sure to give him your presence. W. A. Hall, of Caldwell, spent last Sunday with the writer.

Dreamer. isr. u. w, .spiuman wui ac dress the teachers of the Second Bantist church to-niirhL All Bible Pttidents nreN invited to be WORK TO BEGIN EARLY IN WAT. Was tbe Lowest Udder Over Many Well ' Known Contractors. Against a multitude of bid ders, John Wilson, of Richmond, yesterday won the contract for the Watts hospital, offering the lowest estimate upon the mam moth job. v y The work will begin May 1 and a full year or more will be; re quired in its erection. The build ing will stand upon a most beau tiful twelve acre campus . which is in a tract of more than fifty acreg especially beautified - all about for this particular struc ture. The modern hospital will be situated to the northwest of the city, almost opposite Trinity and behind the Erwin Cotton mills. By the time the building is ready the location will be a perfect garden of beauty. The erection of the new, hos pital by Mr. Wilson is but one of many magnificent contracts thathe has fulfilled. Helis the builder of the bank of Richmond Jefferson hotel, of Richmond, Betha Ahaba Temple of his home city. Second Baptist church of that place. Mutual building of Virginia's capital, "Laburnum," the beautiful residence of Jos eph Bryan in Richmond, the' Y. M. C. A. building'of Charlottes ville, freight station of Nashville Tennessee, and the Mecklen burg real estate building of Nashville. He represents the Structural Steel and Reinfprced Concrete Specialty company, Jof Richmond, and the new hospital is to be made of that material. Its dimensions have been pub lished and the general outline lot it is well-known. It will be thoroughly fire-proof and the most modern hospical in the southern states with-the bare ex ception of New Orleans. The cost of the magnificent sick man's mansion, will ap proach $2.X),00) for the building alone. No man has license to guess at tha endowment lot the incidental expenditures to place it in running order and maintain it. Tlu thousinds upoi grounds salaries an conveniences repre sent fortunes and upon the whole it h the mo?t Munificent gift ev er tn.tJe by a resident Nrth Carolinian. As a pi ice ofpHan thropy straight from tha heart, nothing like it w to be recorded in thia generation. The Watts hospital, modern,! succeed an institution founded and maintained more than ten years ago by Mr. Watt3 on a site near Trinity college. It has served the city and surrounding community well though it is un equal to the demands of its cli entele. The erection of the new sanatorium is a tribute to Dur ham especially, but the institu tion will of course in a few years become one of the mo3t noted in the country. When it shall have been erected, the old buildings will be removed serving their high purposes until the modern institution is ready for its bene ficaries. In a few days an interview with the architect and the con tractor will tell in detail the story of the structure. For the moment it is meant to relate the awarding of the contract and the early beginning of its fulfill ment.

SSJurors Drawn for$ay,Court. . The county commissionersjhave been in session this week and many matters came before them for consideration. x The most important, or rather the matter that created the most interest was the question of the Rigsbee road. This matter has been before the commissioners at previous meetings, and has been earned over on account of the absence of Commissioner Owens. Those favoring the change, which would run the road through West Dusham jnstead of the present way, put- up a stiff fight, while others that were of the opinion that the;road should remain in the place it had al ways been were equally obstinate in their fight, and when the com missioners finally decided, they won, and when this road is grad ed and macadamized, it will leave Durham by the home of J. V; Rigsbee and others. As mentioned in last issue, Mr. C. AJOwen3 resigned, as he lex pects to make his home in Nor folk in the future. Mr. John F. Wily was named by the clerk of court to fill out the unexpired term, but declined. MAY COURT JURORS.
