AND CH0 Not before has Seventh St. Presbyterian church, Charlotte, been packed to capacity and scores of people turned away for lack of standing room, as it was last Wednesday night, February 18, when an organ recital was given on the new pipe organ, by Prof. Thos. A, Long, of Johnson C. Smith Uni versity, and choral numbers by the University Quintette and the Seventh St. Presbyterian church choir. It was a represen tative audience. Many prominent white people were present. The resourcefulness of the fine toned organ was shown .most effective ly in the efficient rendition of compositions that made an ap^ peal to the many phases of soul life—some from idie old masters and others that everybody could: understand, the comomh bond of sympathy which. the simple melody of the did homd life—; “Old Black Joe”—the ever devo tiofial heart touch, “Jesus is all the World to me,” “Nobody knows the trouble I See,” and the sublime “Lead, Kindly Light,”—the pianissimo effect brought out by the chimes, was irresistable in appeal. The program follows: Invocation, Dr; C. M. Young, Harbison "College, rmo, S. C. (Dr. R. P. Wyche presided.) Organ numbers: Pilgrim’s cho rus from “Tannhauser,” Wag ner. Pastorale (To a Wild Rose). McDowell. Largo, from “New World Sym phony,” Dvorak. Mignon, Thomas. Nobody Knows the Trouble I See, Coleridge-Tayldr. Old Black Joe (Transcrip tion). Gimbrel. Favorite Hymns: Jesus is all the World to me. Lead, Kindly Light, The University Quintette very pleasingly rendered: “Still, Still with Thee, Gerrish, and a sere nade, “Until the Dawn,” Parks. The special numbers by the Seventh St. church choir were: anthem: “Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me,Ceibel, and the choral, “The Lord js My Strength,” Stuts. The singing was in excellent form. Those otherwise assisting were, J. E. Hemphill, clarinet; Rufus Kirkpatrick, violin, and V. C. Jones, trumpet. The final in the inaugural or gan musical series is the “Holy City,” a cantata by Albert R. Gaul, which will be sung by a large chorus at Seventh Street church, Sunday night, March 8th, at 8:15. A ST. VALENTINE EVENT. On Friday evening preceding Saturday 14th, the doors <# the Normal High School gymnasium were thrown wide to welcome a number of guests at a St. Val entine party. Each member wore a gorgeous costume. The men wore overall suits and old straw hats with red and blue kerchiefs. The ladies wore gingham costumes with old fashioned bonnets, which characterized the two as being typical farmers. A number of selections were rendered by “Graves Small Or chestra.” The most striking feature of the evening wasthe old-fashioned country spring that cuddled it sjelf in the east end of the room and flowed unceasingly with delicious punch prepared by the hand of the young la dies of the Fairview School Faculty. "The evening passed pleasantly and everyone went away with a larger conception of St, Valen tine Day. We are indeed grate ful to the Fairview St. School Faculty for the evening of en tertainment given us. H. A. McCAIN. J. S. HILL. High Point, N. C.

Services Sunday* the 22nd, were impressive and well at^ tended. At 11 o’clock Rev. Mil ler spoke from 1 Kings, 18th chapter, subject, “Elijah,, His Courage, Flight and Encourage ment.” Among other things the speaker said: “God has always brought forth a man for the cri sis. Two things made Ahab’s reign the vilest—the king’s own wicked heart and a wicked but strong woman. Woman is mighty for good and mighty for evil. She has wrecked as well as builded empires. She tempted Adam to forfeit his original righteousness, yet she gave to the world the Redeeiner. Sunday afternoon the St. James choir, together with mem nied, accompanied the pastor to Hannah church. The service was well attended and the effort netted $51.00, paying off alji debts pending. The pew rally under the aus pices of M. S. S. Sunday night was featured by a Songologue, built arong the 37th chapter of Job. The Junior choir excelled it self, leading the musical theme of the service: “Some day He’ll make it plain to me.” The offer ing for the ladies was $21.12. Yesterday the attendance in S. S. was 110; offering, $15.05. Class No. 1, taught by Rev. Mil ler, won both banners, raising $6.58. The Missionary Society met last Thursday with Mrs. W. L. McNair. The chief business was arranging the various districts into which the Society will be di vided after March 31st. Refresh ments were served at the close of the meeting. Mrs. Lottie Morrow’s hand some home on Lindsay Street has been remodelear This adds much to the appearance of this lend of the street. ! Miss Mamie Jordan and Mrs. Alma Baker spent last Sabbath in Durham. They report a pleas ant trip. Miss Jordan and Mrs. Baker are among our most loy al members and always respond to the call of the church* Rexall basketeers, of St. James, met Lexington Monday night in the second game with that team.

We were glad to enroll Mrs. Ju lia Nocho in the Adult Bible Adult Bible Class No. 1 last Sabbath. Mrs. Nocho is one of the pillars of St. James. CEDAR GROVE CHURCH NOTES. By Mrs. Hattie A. Russell. Sunday, February 22nd, our pastor, Dr. L. J. Melton, deliv ered an able sermon from the subject, “The Great Physician.” His text was Matt. 20:31. The District meeting of the Catawba Presbyterial No. 2 of the Woman’s Missionary Soci ety, held February 21st, was a very inspiring one. A number of the churches were represented and we feel that much credit is due Mrs. M. J. Alexander for the excellent work being done in No. 2 District. Mrs. Alexan der has for the last two years presided over this District, and takes great pleasure in perform ing her part as a leader. ;. k We are glad to say that "a number of the churches have completed the study of the book, “One Blood.” Rev. H. Wil son gave us a clear demonstrar tion on this subject. He ex“ plained that we are all one blood and that the object of this study is to teach God’s laws to all. Rev. A. P. Corley spoke to us oh the subject, “China.” He said that there is yet great hope for China, and that we as Chris tians hold the key to China, but should not only feel that it is ours to hold the key, but should unlock the door and let the light of salvation shine upon that great country. Saturday evening, February 21st, at 8 o’clock, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Alexander gave in mar riage their daughter,. Maud, to Mr. Vrill Harris. Miss Alexander and Mr. Harris are both mem bers of our church and are held in high esteem which was plain ly shown by the many useful gifts received. The ceremony was performed by their pastor, Dr. L. J. Melton. We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Harris hearty con gratulations. .0 bAY: can nearly always:' < gan or part was given to i The tonsils have defi nite work to do and be friend you st all times.

Prince...Ibi.qx,-’ Beginning February; 1 2l closing February 25, Dr., Spen cer C. Dickson, of Vineland, ft delivered eight sermons and had conferences with the: .sti* dents who were undecided aftfe their vocation in life. Jlachbeef mpn by pr. Dickson ,.ywas; soul-stirring to those yhb; heard him. These evangelistic services serve to bring us closer; teuGod, and surely one would say-after listening to the messages that he has been drawn nearer to Gpd. Dr. Dickson left feist Wed nesday with many,: Axpjbe eions of joy from- the..,students and faculty for the wonderful good he has done. & j , We were so much delighted on last Thursday evening-to sit af our supper table; (ag„ usual). ai)d partake of, nice disheS:Of R0 fato, chicken, baked beans, > hot rolls, and cake and ice cream given by Mrs. Johnson Q iSmtfch; The appreciation of this jvas voiced by the student body by Mr. J. W .Graham, <26, and'Mr. G. L. Allen, ’26. The latter read a poem ascribed to Mrs: Smith. several selections were given by the Quintette. Then Mrs. Mc Crorey told in a beautiful,,way how Mrs. Smith is constantly thinking of us, and asked Mrs. Smith, Dr. Gaston, Mr. Lamott, the architect of. the University buildings, and Mrs. Lapsley,, to say a word. Each of 'these per sons spoke very appropriately and stirred a feeling df greater earnestness and devotion in :the hearts of those sharing, the giftsf Mrs. Smith has made for our uplift. Mrs. Woods, the sister of Mrs. Smith, was also present. The evening closed with final words by Dr. .McCrorey. : . .w: v-. Dr, H. L. McCrorey is indeed the President we admire for; the school. The alumni in New York City, recently wrote Roscoe C; Simmons, connected with the Chicago Defender, and reminded him of Daniel J. Sanders and Henry L. McCrorey as “great Negro Presidents who have suc ceeded white Presidents of Col leges.” A fuller account of this will be fd'Uid in, “The University Student” for March 1st. ; t , Dr, J; A. Rollins, of Gastonia, was oh the campus last Wednes day.
