VOL. XLVIII l»lt GREAT PREACHER Imtnease Crowds Hear Dr. Truett in Rrieigh—A Native of North Caro lina, His Hone in Texas (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, March 14.—N0 great preacher who has ever visited this state can be more properly con trasted as the opposite of Billy Sunday, Baxter McLendon and other "sensational" evangelist®, than can Rev. Dr. George W. Truett of Texas, native of Clay county, N. C, who .baa just con cluded the most remarkable and effective series of religious meet ings known in ail Raleigh's his tory. Sunday morning and Sunday night thousands (literally) who wanted to hear his concluding sermons were unable to gain ad mission to the big city auditorium, with its 5,000 capacity, where all the meetings the last ten days wer* hqjd—every night service being attended by great crowds of people who packed the building to the doors. There were enough visitors alone in Ra'eigh Sunday to fill the auditorium if no Raleigh person was admitted. Many were con sequently disappointed. The\ came from scores of towns *nd country homes within a radius o! more than 100 miles of Raleigh. Utterly devoid of "show" or ex citement or sensationalism, Dr. Truett's preaching here has effect ed more than that of any other man who has engaged in religion meetings here, as far as memory of the "oldest inhabitant" can recall. Aud he has preached the "good, old-time religion" always —aud that only. He has the best voiee, modulated so that all cau hear and understand every woid, yet never shouting or raising it to a high pitch. He doesn't "shuck his coat," nor stab at his audience with the accusing finger or the elub hand. He doesn't attempt to frighten anyone nor to excite any l*>dy, bat be tells you the golden truths ex tracted from holy writ aud verb ally finished with comment of the most understanding type—iu a manner more couvinctiig than you ever hsard before. Aud the audieuce absorbs it all in a perfectly natural uianuer, and when the people abruptly realize his discourse for the occa sion is ended, they Instantly dis cover that tin y have got some thing. Got something they never had before, most of theui. Got something they underhand— un derstand what it is and where it comes from; got something th it will stay by theut, and comfort many of them unto the last mo ment in this life when they on to the new aud immortal life which lhe> have been urged by Dr. Truett, iu the words aud as surance of Jesus, not to fear! No sermon delivered by him, beautiful and impresfive and con viuciug as were all of them, got! deeper into the recesses of the' hearts of many of us than that delivered Saturday fro«i -lg noon to 1 o'clock p. m., when oVvr 2,000 Raleigh people, hundreds of them business and worlriug men aud professional men, on the busiest day of the week, "used their luuch hour" to hear the great preacher, That's what he is, "the great preacher." .We are not calling him an "evangelist," with whaL that term implys to the minds of many of us these days. The Sunday noon sermon was based on the appearance of Christ to John on ibe island of Patiuos, when lie said: "Fear not, I am aJive. I have been dead, aud have the keys of eternal life." Fear not! Disabuse your mind of the horror of death. If you have led the Christian life aud doueyonr part lu proportion to your opportunity (in which case you share equally, the preacher had said) you should not fear death. And as much to the point —fear not to live! These thre« thoughts Me in the sentence, he declared—fear not to fear nofr to die, and fear not what is w n . . ... THE ALAMANCE GLEANER eoming after death. Christ through His life, in Bis death, and in His resurrection, has an swered all three questions Christ is the key to life, death and eternity, and those wb« believe in Him need not fear to llw, to die, nor the judgment that awaits in eternity, said Dr. Truett. In the course of a geu**al dis cussion of the subject of lift* and death and the hereafter. Dr Truett took occasion to apeak a few caustic sentences on spiritual ism and its alleged The impulse toward spiritual is but an evidence of immortality, he deelamJ. but tb« rnvelatiom claimed tor It discredit it utterly "We ace not to be afraid of life, nor to live tt fully, nor of death, to die it bravely, nor of eteraiiy to greet H joyfully.

Chapel Hill, March 14.—Four hundred and eighty gradnates of North Carolina high schools and preparatory schools, for whom there is now no room at the Uni versity will find quarters read\ for them at the opening of the fall term next September. These accommodations are pro vided from the appropriation made by the 191\ Legislature for tin expansion of the University. The need for theia arose because the high schools of the State ifcere pouring more and more students into Chapel Hill each year. There was no place for these students to live, and so for a long time there has been bad oveierowding. Not only the increased output of the high schools, but the widened opportunity for self-help, is responsible for the growth in attendance. Young make their way through by doing all sorts of work stenography and typewriting, waiting at table, working in the laundry and the printing plant, aud many other oei-upetlous, Including manual labor. The ooustruetiou of the new dormitories afford# a striking demonstration of the difference in building coats between 1919, when the Steele dormitory was begun, and this year. The Steele, which was erected by the old State Building Commission, cost $2200 per student accommodated. The New dormitories, which are being put up under the direction of a committee of the Trustees of the institution, are costing some thing less than SI,OOO per student. And they are of the best type of building, fireproof throughout with slate roofs. Par am are Cooperating and—Sawing Wood Country Gentleman. Among the more hopeful of the signs of the times is the manner iu whieh the farme* is looking after his own affairs. lie is rapidly welding together bis small, scat tered, local cooperative associa tions iuto close-knit, federated groops. lie is marketing bis live stock, his eheese, bis butter, his perishables, through these cooper ative channels, and undertaking the marketing of his grain in a simiiiar way. tie is looking for leadership within his own ranks —and is finding it. What iuteresta ue is the fact that the great aggregated indus try of. farming, often as it baa been accused of incapacity for united action, is not only uniting for action, but tbat it is already well on the way toward action tb>U is both socially and econ omically progressive and con strui'tive. wbile a lot of folks are still sitting around listening for the crash of more empires, the farmer has taken a bitch in his trousers, moistened bis palms in the usual way and is sawing wood, which fact has more than passing national significance.

Tlie Presbj terians of this State launched their t'ampaign on March 12th for $743,541 for Be nevolent Causes. This is the Synod's quoto of $4,500,000 which will be secured by the entire Southern Presbyterian Church. The North Caroliua Synod's quota will be divided as follows: Foreign Missions, $247,599 As»fini> y's Home Mis'ns, 118,906 Christ'n liil &. For Relief, 55,705 Publication AS. S.

The Southern -Presbyterians gave $12.43 per member to Benevolent Causes last year. Ouly one church in America exceeded this record. There will be Bpent within the borders of the State of the above amount $167,000 for Home Mis sion Work. Government statistics show that there were in 1910 in this State 853,000 persons over ten jears of age wdio were not connected with any church. The Home Mission Committees feel that this condition places a large responsibility upon them that are urging every church not only to contribute to the work of Home Missions in this State, but it is being urged also that every church have at least one out station where the Bible Is taught and regular services held. During the last few years tl.e Presbyterians have been growiug two and one-half limes as fast as the population, but they are not satisfied with these figures and expect to show a larger growth. A Campaign to secure 1(5,000 tit hers is also being promoted. A Tithe is one-tenth of one's income. The Jews gave the tithe for relig ious purposes 2,000 years ago and it is being urged that Christians should do no less In this age of enlightment.

The latest fad of the glrlg Is to have the handwriting of their favorite man friend read by a graphologist. Neat tittle packets of masculine notes, curi ously enough readdressed In a femi nine hand, have been received by handwriting experts, who wilt tell your character from a few characteristic Jlnes. The Inmost secrets of the char acter tendencies of the unsuspecting man upon whom you are wondering whether to center your affections or Dot are disclosed to you through this novel means. "It's so exciting that I limply can't wait tilt I get a note from every man I meet," confessed one debutante. "One letter will do In a pinch, but most handwriting fortune tellers prefer to have several, written at long Intervals apart, submitted as samples. But, goodness me I nowadays friendships don't always last that long. There ure only two things dangerous to the game —one Is that the rnun may get suspi cious and stop writing, or, worst of all, he may get his own letters back from the graphologist by mlßtake. For tills reason always be sure to remove all traces of name und address from your original letter." —Chicago Journal. Oh, So That's Itl We are shortly promised stockings that will button up, and this recalls the old query: "Why is It that a wo man always buttons her clothes up In the reverse fashion from a man?" If tt were a fact that all women were left handed,, and consequently found It easier to do things in this way, it would be understandable. But they are not. A Mere Male thing offers me this ex planation: "Probably, It Is because all jKumeu are Imitative. They Intend in future to oust men from, the earth en tirely. Wherefore tftey stand In front of the glass, arid endeavor to create to it a reflection as much like a nuin a* possible. But looking glasses al ways show things reversed, aud wo man, not being able to realize this, always does things backward." So that's that! —London Opinion. Meat Fleur. The qualities of meat flour, a new food that Is being made In New Zea land, were described to a meeUng of farmers and others held In a New Zea land town. The speaker said that re cent!/ at a dinner IS persons sat down to a meal composed entirely of meat flour dishes, and only a UtUe over half a-potud of meat flour was used In Its preparation. It was excellent for In valids and bore a high food value. It could be exported easily and compact ly, and would keep, so far as present tests went, for two years without the slightest sign of deterioration. It took three pounds of meat to produce one pound of the flour, which was at pres ent being readily sold at flve shillings ($1.20) a pound and was found exceed ingly economical In the household at this price. Negr&ss Move to the Cities. The negro urban population at the United States U now, In round num bers, about 8,500,000, and even more when towns and villages of less than 2,000 Inhabitant* are Included; that la, one-third of the negroes of the United States are now living In vil lages, towns arid cltlea. The larger part of the Increase In negro urban population has been due to migration. In the last five years some (500,000 ne groes have moved from rural districts Into the towns and cities. A large pro portion, therefore, of the negro popula tion Is new to city conditions. —South- ern Workmen. WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

A striking instance of the un seen dangers and mysterious origin of fire is afforded by ao oc currence at Spray recently. A passerby saw smoke pouring from ihe basement of the fine graded school builuing there. Investiga tion showed a large pil#» of co*l stored i n the basement had caught fire, apparently in the center, since flames had not then appear ed. A! 1 efforts to quench ihe fire i with water from fire hose were (fruitless, and the coal had to be 1 bodily shoveled away mte the open before the daiiger was Ob- Jviated. Had this fire developed when people were in bed and not j passing about, as on Sunday or j other mornings, the loss of this 'school building, with origin un known, would probably have been j chronicled in the papers next day, which simply justifies the oft-re peated caution of the Insurance I Department as to striding ooal in too large bulk in any place uade- I I tched from the building. People | who laugh at the i ea of spon taneous combustion have here an illustration of the nal thing, rarely shown, fof generally the destruction it causes removes the evidence of its origin. Another spontaneous combus tion detection occurred in Win ston recently, where oily clothes a painter had left in a closet of a residence he was [tainting caught .fire and did several hundred dol lars damage. Another "origin unknown,' had the firemen I not arrived in time to save the I building and disclose the careless origin. You can't get HtrouK on a woak, flimsy diet. Tone up your stom ach.
