Lincoln day observed AT FIRST CHURCH, Me CONNELLSVILLE, S. C. By Miss Amy Knox On Sunday, February 12th, a large crowd assembled to wit ness the rendition of the Lincoln Day program sent out by the Colored Division of the Board of National Missions. ... Some of the letters sent to the Sabbath school were read 5 by Mrs. W. D. Orr and others. •• Some of the pupils presented an •' interesting exercise on Steward , ship, entitled, “Aunt Margaret's ; Box.” It emphasized our duty as 4 Stewards, showing that our time, talent, ability and money all belong to God and He expects us to use them for the advance ment of His Kingdom. Mrs. A. A. Jones gave an in teresting talk concerning the progress of the work during the forty years she has been here. There were only three of the original members present that were here when she and her hus band came. Mrs. Jones stated that from the very first she had a strong desire to better the condition of the people of the community and help to educate y the young people. God had heard her prayers and permitted her to know that all of her own ten children have received diplo ..mas. The six girls are from Scotia Seminary and the Xour boys from Johnson C. Smith University. She is looking for ward and hoping to see her son, Rev. Warren C. Jones, finish his post-graduate course at West ern Theological Seminary, Pitts burgh, Pa., and take his father's place in the ministry when he re tires from active service, he having faithfully served since 1886, also more than sixty oth er young people from this com munity have gone to various schools under our Board and are now doing useful work. Kev. A. A. Jones aiso mauc a very touching talk on the en couragements and discourage ments he had met with during his stay here, but the loyal sup port of the faithful members caused him to continue until this day. The singing of the choir was suited to the occasion. Seven dollars were raised which was supplemented by members of the church so that twelve dollars were sent to the Board. This completed the benevolence quota which was $80.00 for the church and forty dollars for the Wo men’s and Young People’s or ganizations. After a solo, “Speak to My Soul, Dear Jesus,” was rendered by Miss Eunice Wade with Miss Amy Knox as organist, we were dismissed with the benediction. SPRING STREET CHURCH, WAKE FOREST, N. C. Dear Mr. Editor: It has been a. long time since anything has been said about our church in Wake Forest. , Our last pastor, the Rev. Dr. H. C. Mabry, was removed from us by death a little over one year ago, and since that time we have been without a pastor. But the session feels hopeful that this vacancy will soon be filled. On last baooatn,, reDruary 26, we had with us the Rev. Rob ert N. Cowan, of Chester, S. C. Rev. Cowan and wife are en gaged in school work some little distance from the city of Ches ter. Having received an invita tion from the church session some time ago to visit our field, they motored here on Saturday. On Sunday morning we enjoyed a very rich and helpful sermon from him. The speaker spoke fromEph. 6:10, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." The speaker emphasized the fact that God can do great things with small means or numbers, and that we must trust in God and have the right confidence in ourselves. He made special reference to the character of Gideon of old how Gideon labored earnestly having nothing to encourage him more than God’s approval. On Sunday night we listened to another rich discourse from Acts 3:26. The speaker drew a line between the law and the gospel, emphasizing .that while - the law'* condemns, the gospel restores and saves, and that the message of the gospel of Christ is the greatest blessing to the world. Rev. Cenevus Dent, of the Baptist church, yras given a seat on the rostrum beside Rev. Cow an, and he assisted Rev. Cowan in the services. So Sunday was a good day for the student body, church mem bers and visiting friends. * A. P. JOHNSON. ST. JAMES CHURCH GREENSBORO. The Earliest Workers are still holding the cup.

C„ are expected home this week, NEWS PROM CARVER ME MORIAL CHURCH, NEW PORT NEWS, VA. Sunday morning, February 26th, at 11 o’clock our minister, Rev. J. Metz Rollins, delivered a discourse on “The Gradual Discovery of the Christ.” He said in substance, “that the dis ciples’ discovery of Christ was not sudden but gradual. During their three years of association with him they gradually discov ered who He was by what He did, and what He taught both as to method and content. Their method of discovery was scien tific. Here and there they gath ered facts, and gradually it fin ally dawned upon their sensitive natures that He was truly “Christ, the Son of the living God.” His resurrection, ascen sion, and Pentecost gave, them the final conviction as to who He was. The application was made that we have the privilege of seeing through the eyes of the lisciples and coming to the final conviction that He is an ever iving, ever-loving, ever-present Lord and reigning King. This should be the Church’s faith and also the faith of the indi vidual, and with' such a faith the Uhurcn cannot iau, uviuici -an the believer give way to doubt in the moat trying experi ences of life." The junior choir sang for this service. February 26th Witnessed the close of a $1000.00 rally. The membership of the church was divided into ten clubs, each hav ing a captain; Each club was made responsible for one hun dred dollars. The clubs displayed unusual team work. Each club was anxious to report $100. On this day nine hundred and fifty dollars was put on the table to be paid on the indebtedness.

EARLY TB HARD TO DIAG NOSE, ADVANCED EASY. Sanatorium,—The diagnosis of incipient tuberculosis is some times difficult for specialists who devoted years to the detec tion and treatment of the dis ease. The most unlearned lay man can diagnose the far ftd~ vanced case of “consumption," There is no parallel between the treatment of the two stages of the disease. Early tubercu losis, discovered early, and the proper treatment instituted at p ice is practically always cura ble, and cured easily. Far ad vanced tuberculosis is not cur able. When any person, because of symptoms, or history of the dis ease suspects himself of having tuberculosis he should run to and not from the doctor. Many people with suspicious symptoms symptoms of tuberculosis try to kid themselves and even their doctors into the belief that they have ofliy a “cold," pleurisy,” “nerves,” or some other such thing, when in reality they gyg suffering from tuberculosis. It is not a disgrace to have tuberculosis, 1$ is a disgrace to be afraid to knew you haye if. Delayed diagnosis §f tubergujp is means advancing and ad* vanced disease, Advanced tu berculosis is not curable. If you have any suspicious symptoms of tuberculosis visit the best ’octor you know at once for a thorough physical examination, Including your chest. Beg him to tell you that you have the iisease if you do, rather than wanting a diagnosis of “no trou ble,” when the tubercle bacilli, 10 matter how slight, are ANCIENT HEBREW “SIN GOAT” HAS PARALLEL IN INDIA. The ancient Hebrew custom of loading the sins of the people gn a scape-ggat which bore them off into the wilderness, has a modern parallel in a certain dis trict in central India. It is not sins, however, which the modern scape-goat is required to carry off, but smallpox. When an outbreak of smallpox occurs in a village, the inhabi tants resore to the ceremony of “Nikasi.” A female goat is pur chased by public subscription, and is adorned with the particu lar types of ornaments usually affixed to the image of a god dess. The goat is then appar ently looked upon as an incarna tion of the goddess of the dis ease. The animal is supposed to remove thg epidemic as §he is passed on from village |o yjllagg until she reaches her own tem ple, or is devoured by wild beasts on the way. THE ILLUSTRIOUS JOHN HALL ACCEPTS THE PEN SION PLAN. We were fortunate in having with n§ aom§ w§ek§ ago Pf. g. J. Bakgr. gy a suggestion qf his our Brotherhood unanimous ly accepted the Pension Plan and its action was referred to the session for approval, The Sunday school, under the efficient leadership of Mr, W. T. Blue, is meeting with unusual success. The amount realized on last Sunday was $100.05.
