at tile Beginning of the 1923 season
the Board of Directors of the North

provided for the orderly marketing of i
the crop month by month and also

of the market value of the cotton up

December, prior to the holidays, an
other substantial payment in April
and a final settlement not later than

The meeting of the "Warbler Band"
at the Baptist Church on Friday morn*
ing was a very unusual one. It was
conducted by Forest Weaver, a 14
year-old boy who is a member of the
York Evangelistic party for the sum
mer. .He told in a very Impressive
way the story of "Katherine O'Neill
and the Vagabond." ? a story of how
a 12-year-old girt really uid a remark
able piece of personal work for Jesus
that brought some startling results.
After telling the story which took
about 20 minuteB, Forest a*ked all the
boys and girls who were Christians
and who would try earnestly to bring
one more to Christ before the close of
the meetings, to come forward r?nd
stand by his side and eight bright
young people responded. Then he
gave an invitation for all who were
willing to become Christians then and
there to come forward, give him their
hands and occupy the front seats.
It was a very solemn and ser
ious time. Slowly and one by one
they came \*ith tear-dimmed eyes un
til twenty-three had responded. It
was really the most powerful meeting
of the revival up to that time. Those
that were present will never forget it.
At seven o'clock on Sunday evening,
July 6th, all the young peo
ple met in the upper room for a
special service in charge of Forest.
The room was crowded, more than one
TKfndred people were present. He us
ed as his text, Mark 1:17 and his theme
was "Fishers of Men." He talked
earnestly for 30 minutes and then gave
a rail for those who are willing to give
themselves to God for the ministry
and missionary service. Four young
women and two young men respond
ed, laying their lives upon God's altar.
They were presented to the congrega
tion at the regular evening service,
and the sight of so many of our own
young people consecrated in a single
service to Christian work.jnade a pro
found impression.
Forest In a native of Louisburg.
North Carolina, and became a Chris
tian and a member of the Baptist
Church there two years ago at the age
of twelve years. The following year
Dr. York held an evangelistic cam
paign In Louisbnrg during which he
made an earnest appeal for young peo
ple to consecrate their liven for the
ministry or for missionary work. There
were twenty-six who publicly respon
ded to this appeal, and Forest, then 13
years of age, Was the first boy to res
pond.
During the summer which followed
he went with Dr. York In two aran
?elisUc campaigns aad (poke at sev
eral of the meetings. Bach time be

The Right of Way
Here he spoke (our times, and the last
time he took a text and really preach
ed a sermon of about 20 minutes'
length. As a result of these (our
talks there were 24 professions or con
versions and 17 volunteers for the
ministry and missionary work. Prom
here he was invited by telegram to
preach at Belmont, N. C. And at the
close of his one sermon there he gave
an Invitation and there were seven
decisions.
This summer he is going with Dr.
York's Evangelistic party for the en
tire summer. He preaches occasion
ally. and helps In the work with the
young people. He expects to go to a
Baptist Academy soon, then to a Bap
tist College and then a Theological
Seminary. He Is now fourteen years
old and is already, well started in his
life calling. He has an unushal. per
sonality and wins friends easily, .yet
he Is modest and retiring. . ,
