SEVENTH STREET CHURCH NOTES. By Miss Marie S. Lindsay Sunday morning, February 14, the congregation listened with interest while Bishop W. J. Walls, of the A, M. E. Zion Church, expounded the word of God from Acts 10:19-20. His subject was: “Visions and Their Translation.” The speaker said, man’s dreams are what he does during the day. Tell me what' a man’s dreams are and I will tell you his life. Visions are only day dreams. Peter dreampt dreams. He knew in his dreams that God knew of his separation from the Gentiles. Man does not accomplish any thing until his mind is absorbed thoroughly; He must think about it until it causes him to suffer. He must so work him self into the thing he wishes to accomplish that others will feel it' and will not be Satisfied until the end is accomplished. Sunday* morning, February 21, we listened to a sermon by the pastor from the text, “Un to you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise.” As the Sun of Righteousness, Christ cafne into the world to save those who were lost. As the sun makes clear and shows things, so the Sun of Righteous ness shows forth our sins. When the old Jewish church was abolished and the new re placed it, then the Sun of Right eousness stood forth giving men opportunity to' Seek peace with God. ' ". Sunday' night we listened to a sermon from Hebrews ll :1, on the subject, “What Is Faith and What Does It Do for Us?” The apostle tells us that/’faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not Seen.” We can not enter into the king dom of God unless we have faith. We cannot see God, but we follow Him by obeying His word. When Christ came into this world, He forgot Himself and thought about us. He has shown that he loved us by com ing into this world and suffering. Faith was likCtted unto a link. It is our connection with God. Any individual without faith has no peace with God. Faith gives you that peace that the world cannot give and peace with your fellowman. The Volunteer class turned over to the church $12.25, the amount realized from their en tertainment. Mrs. R. P. Wyche was organ ist during Sunday school hour, last Sunday. The regular or ganists, Misses Martin and Ad ams, were indisposed. The D. J. Sanders class re ported Mr. E. T. McDowell as a new member.

TRADDST. CHURCH NOTES, STATESYILLE. By Miss M. S. Cowan. '• iiv-i - Dr. J. L. Hollowell spoke Sun day morning from John 1:38, “What seek ye?” The speaker emphasized various reasons why men seek Christ. He strongly pointed out that among some of the reasons why men seek Christ are these: (1) As a guide. (2) As a counselor. (3) As an example for observing civil laws and customs. (4) As a Saviour. The Lord’s Supper was admin istered to a large congregation, and the Holy Spirit showered its blessings into many hearts, causing us to rejoice in the sal vation that we are trying to seek in holding up Christ as our great example in our daily lives, as our pastor so ably preached to us. One person united with the church by letter at this service. Our church, Sunday school, Christian Endeavor Society, Missionary Society and Boys’ Club are doing well spiritually and financially each striving to do its bit in the program out lined.
