care of the expenses of the
Branch.
The city has been divided in

hope to reach everyone in their
section by Saturday night.
If the quota is reached in this

hoped that every one approached
will give as liberally as possible.
THE VOICE OF WADESBORO.
On the first Sunday in April
at 3 P. M., a very impressive
service was held for the pur
pose of dedicating the new Low
ry Memorial Presbyterian
church, and it was attended by
both white and colored.
Music was rendered by the
white Baptist choir and was
sponsored by Some of the best
citizens of Wadesboro. The first
selection was led by Mrs. H. W.
Little, Wadesboro's leading so
prano, who was assisted by
Mesdames J. F. Allen, H. B. Al
len ad Messrs. H. W. Clark and
B. J. Covington. Others present
were Mr. W. C. Via and Dr. W.
L. McKinnon.
rne speaker oi tne occasion
was Dr. H. L. McCrorey, D. D„
LL. D., President of Johnson C.
Smith University, pharlotte. His
text was chosen from Psalm
127:1, “Except the Lord build
the house they labor in vain
that build it.” One of the chief
thoughts adyanced was: “Char
acter Building.” The speaker
scored the modem atheistic the
ory of evolution taught in some
schools and declared that our
only hope as individuals or as a
nation is “Christian Education.”
“Blessed is that people whose
God is the Lord,” said the speak
er.
The sermon made a wonderful
impression and was listened to
with great interest. A very
splendid response was made to
the sermon by Dr. W. L. McKin
non.
Our toaster of ceremonies was
Dr. I. H. Russell, Synodical
Evangelist, who also preached
on Sunday morning to a very
appreciative audience. His at
tractive manner of preaching
draws great throngs when he
comes here. His text was in the
form of a question, selected from
Genesis 47:8, “How old art
thou. Dr. Russel has been
asked to preach for us on the
first Sunday in May at which
time we are to have the comer
stone of our church laid.
The people of the A. M. E.
Zion church were unusually fa
vored in having to preach for
them Sunday morning Dr. C. H.
Shute, one of the professors of
Johnson C. Smith University. He
had been attending the Presby
tery but had to return home on
account of the illness of his wife.
However, he came back, and, we
are told, preached a wonderful
sermon from St. John 9:4, “I
must work the works of him
that sent me/'etc.
Last, but not least, one of the
best sermons heard here was de
livered by Rev. L. B. West, of
Biddleville Presbyterian church,
Charlotte,»on Friday night, after
the Presbytery had adjourned.
His discourse was based upon
Matt. 4:19, “And he saith unto
make your.’ wcmfwy cmcmcm
them, Follow me, and I will
make you fishers of men.” It
was both practical and spiritual
and was greatly admired by
knatty./IH^ HTIJOH HJO'IJH - /
in and out-of-town visitors
present at this and other meet
ings were Dr. and Mrs. Geo. W.
Long and faculty , of Coulter
Academy, Cheraw, S. C.; Dr. P.
A. McCorkle, of the A. M. E.
Zion church ; Rev. I. S. Ingram,
