SEVENTH STREET
CHURCH NOTES.
By Miss Marie S. Lindsay
Sunday morning, our pastor,
Dr. R. P. Wyche, preached tc
/ us from II Timothy 1:12; “1
know whom I have believed and
am persuaded that he is able tc
keep th&t which I have commit;
ted unto him against that day.”
His subject was: “The Certain
ty of our Belief.”
The Apostle Paul, although
in prison, was not' ashamed to
own that he believed in Jesus
Christ.! He said: “I know whom
I have, believed.” He was cer
tain of his belief.
It behooves us all to find out
whether we really believe in
Jesus, because a day of reckon
ing is doming. :

WESTMINSTER GUILD
NOTES, MOORESVILLE.

The Westminster Guild Soci
ety met Friday, November 13,
at Mrs. Rosa Patterson’s home,
one' of its faithful members.
The meeting was well attended
and the cause of the society’s
welfare was entered into and
discussed with much zeal and
enthusiasm. The society was
graced with the presence of
Rev. Frank Shirley, our S. S.
M., who was in the city holding
a Sunday School Institute. Rev.
Shirley made a splendid talk to
the society which was enjoyed
very much by all present. Oth
er visitors were Rev. J. G. Mur
ray and Mrs. Lelia Phifer, of
the Woman’s Missionary Socie
ty. Rev. Murray gave some
very helpful suggestions also.
After the meeting was over
Mrs. Patterson, in her own de
lightful way, served an elabo
rate dinner course to the mem
bers of the society.
Thanksgiving Day has been
set apart for the society to vis
it the County Home and carry
provisions to the inmates. They
are planning a service also.
The society has the splendid

The spirit of the society is to
do that which will better local
conditions. Among the other
things which the society is to
do on Thanksgiving Day is to
serve the old people of the city,
regardless of their church affil

Pray for our success that we
may broaden our work and use
fulness.

The Supreme Need
of the Hour
By REV. JOHN U. PAGE
Twchtr of Bible Doctrine, Moody
Bible Institute. Chicago.
TEXT—And it came to pa8s, while
the ark abode in Klrjath-jearlm, that
the time was long; for it was twenty
years: and all the house of Israel la
mented after the Lord.—I Sam. 7:1.
Twenty years is not a long period of
time, unless it is marked by a sense of
ueieai or loss.
Twenty years fol
lowing some loss
or bereavement
seems much
longer than the
same period of
time prior to that
loss. For twenty
years the pres
ence of the Lord
in saving and
comforting power
had been absent
Rev. John C. Page.
from Israel. "1 he
time was long, it
was twenty years, and nil the house of
Israel lamented after the Lord.” This
means that the people were drawn to
gether with the feeling and conscious
ness of a common loss.
There are evidences of a similar
spiritual crisis in the church today.
For twenty years or more, rationalism,
formalism and worldliness have in
creased and the love of many has
grown cold. Christians are not pre
senting that type of life to the world
which meets the instinctive longing of
the human heart for an ideal. These
conditions are keenly felt at this time.
Spiritual Israel is lamenting after the
Lord, drawn together by the sense of
a great loss, the loss of the converting
and comforting power of the Holy
Spirit. .
The supreme need of the hour is a
revival of vital Godliness. Spiritual
leaders are saying this, serious and
far-seeing thinkers are saying it. too.
There is laid on the hearts of God’s
watchmen, an earnest and persistent
prayer for a spiritual revival. The
World’s Fundamental association, the
Federal Council of Churches of Amer
ica, the Church Federation of Chicago,
and the Baptist Bible Union of North
America, have ail within the past year
Issued urgent calls to prayer and
revival. The Bible union set a specific
date in Its call to prayer, and appealed
to Christians of all denominations
everywhere, to set apart three days for
“concerted prayer for the spiritual re
newing of the church nil over the
world.” The last circular letter of the
Great Commission Prayer league con
tains this paragraph: “A few years
ago scarcely a voice was heard calling
God’s people to Intercession for the
church’s revival. Today a thousand
voices are heard in almost every gath
ering of believers, and prayer is being
emphasized. The |>rav«r league sends
its monthly, ‘Pray for Revival’ appeals
to some 700 religious papers, and dur
I ing January alone heard from over 60
of these by personal communication,
and all but one In approval. Only God
could bring such things to pass.”
What is a revival/ it is ;i time or
abounding spiritual life in Christ. “I
am come,” said the Savior, "that ye
might have life, and that ye m’ght
have it more abundantly.” Most
Christians and even Christian workers
are conscious of overstrain rather
than overflow. In times of revival this
condition Is reversed. This overflow
ing life In Christ manifests itself in a
new passion for the salvation of the
lost, a new devotion to Cod. new love
of worship, a new spirit of generosity,
greater freedom in prayer, ubility to
testify to the things of God, new de
light in the Bible and n new joy in
Christian fellowship. As a consequence
of this, sleepers are awakened, idlers
in the church go to work, strife is ban
ished, worldliness Is overcome, sinners
are convicted and souls are born again.
A spiritual revival is not brought
about by cunning methods or magnetic
Influences, nor is it the psychological
effect of one soul upon another, but
rather a condition produced by the di
rect power of God working in and
through the lives of his people. In an
article entitled, “Revival Fires,” which
appeared In a recent number of The
Presbyterian, we read that Dr. Robert
Boyd, when pastor in Chicago long
ago, had a church which was signally
blessed with a continuous ingathering
of souls. At the close of one of his
morning services, he said. “Brethren,
so far as I can learn, there has not
been a conversion in this church for
the past four weeks. I would like ail
who are concerned for the salvation of
the lost to meet me this nfternoon for
special prayer.” A large number met
with the pastor that afternoon. And
In that service an infidel bookseller
was converted, and the fire of evan
gelism was started afresh.

Conference and prayers on
last Saturday evening were led
by President H. L. McCrorey.
A large audience heard glad
ly Richard B. Harrison, noted
dramatist, in the University au
ditorium on last Monday eve
ning. Mr. Harrison has made
several appearances here and
has won an admirable place in
the hearts of the students for
his pleasing recitals.
The Sphinx Club, a group of
worthy students, aspiring for
membership in the Alphi Phi
Alpha Fraternity, gave a sacred
musical concert in the chapel
on last Sunday evening. The
program was an enjoyable one,
with noticeable ability on the
part of the participants.
President H. L. McCrorey at
tended the educational confer
ence last Monday at Shaw Uni
versity, Raleigh. Educators
were present from all sections
of the State.
Rho Chapter of the Omega
Psi Phi Fraternity, located here
on the campus, observed the
fourteenth anniversary of the
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, the
first Greek Letter Fraternity to
be founded in a Negro institu

dered, recounting its age,
growth and future prospects.

fore the Thanksgiving game
which will be played here on

This week is the Week of
Prayer for the Young Men’s
Christian Association. Servic
es are being held in the early
'morning and evening. The As
sociation is fortunate in having
the Rev. L. B. West, the strong
'preacher of the Biddleville
Presbyterian church, to preach
at the evening services. It is
hoped through the able mes
sages he is delivering that
great results will come to those
who know not Christ in the in
stitution.
RALLY AT SILVER HILL
CHURCH.
During the month of October
the Silver Hill Presbyterian
church at Laurinburg, had a ral
ly in which $377.72 was raised.
'The club plan was used and the
rivalry among the seven clubs
was very keen and accounts
largely for the success which
attended the effort.
Marked enthusiasm charac
terized the three services held
on the Sunday the rally closed.
In the morning there was a
stirring sermon by Rev. J. B.
Francis, minister of the church.
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the
speakers were Rev. R. C. Scriv
en and Mr. W. P. Evans. Rev,
SI!
Why expect “Big Money” from your bus-. ,
iness when you don't invest any moiiey
in it? It would be as foolish to expect a
rich harvest of wheat when you sow
oats. An investment of a small sum in
an attractive Sign will pay big dividends.
Think it over and let us hear from you.

P. C. Covington, of the Baptist
church, was the preacher at the
night service and his choir fur
nished music. At this time the
final reports of the clubs were
made and the total collection
announced. The result caused
great rejoicing among the
members of the church.
On Monday night following
the rally the church gave a so
cial for the club that raised the
largest amount of money. This
was club No. 7 which raised
$76.72. The captain was Miss
Ruth McNair and her associate
was Mr. J. R. McMillan.
The rostrum was beautifully
decorated with crepe paper and
a small table placed in the cen
ter. Captain No. 7 and her as
sociate were escorted to the
table by Mr. Amos Newton and
seated there. All the members
of this club were seated on one
side and the captains and asso
ciates of the other clubs seated
on the other side.
The rest of the members and
friends from other churches
were seated down in the body
of the church until it was
packed.
Then Rev. Francis welcomed
every one that was present and
asked them all to make them
selves at home.
We were then served with de
licious ice cream and cake.
When this course was over we
•were invited to the refresh
freshment on the outside.
Everybody was highly enter
tained and went away with the
memory of Silver Hill in their
minds, for she has made one of
the highest marks in the histo
ry of her life.
