The celebration of Greensboro's one hundreth anniversary was opened Sun day with special services in the city churches. The pulpits were occupied I by distinguished sons of North Caro lina. All the choirs had prepared special music for the occasion and the congregations were unusually large. In fact, it is doubtful if so many people ever before attended di vine services in Greensboro in one day. The congregation at West Marke Street Methodist churcu was address ed by Rev. Wilbur F. iillet, D, D. dean of the theological depart ment of Vanderbilt University. Nash ville, Tenn., who chose for his theme. "The Place of Religion in the Making and the Mission of a Chris tian Nation." He discussed the con nection between a nation's prosperity and its recognition of God and laid down the proposition that perfec prosperity is possible only when al the people praise God. The speaker discussed in a most learned and in teresting manner the influence o the Christian religion in the civiliza tion of the world, saying that In no country has the relation between church and state been adjusted so happily as in the United States. The sermon at the First Presby terian church was delivered by Rev- Samuel M. Smith, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Co lumbia, S. C, who spoke with great eloquence and power from the pas sage of Scripture reading: "Except the Lord build a house, they labor in vain that keep it; except the Lord keen a city, the watchmen waketh in vain." Dr. Smith spoke of the wonderful progress of Greensboro, with special reference to the esprit de corps exniuiiecl Dy tne ciuzen&nip in religion, business and society. Dr. Smith went out from the First church, havine been the eldest son of the late Rev. Jacob Henry amun, D. D., for nearly half a century pas tor nf the congregation, and he was heard by one of the largest congrega tions that ever filled a church in Greensboro. Many of his hearers pro nounce the sermon the greatest er fort of his life. Dr. William Louis Poeat, president f vvoiro Forest College, delivered a learned and instructive address from the pulpit of the First Baptist church and in the same edifice at night an able sermon was preached by Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, D. D., of Richmond, Va.. one of the most eminent divines of the Baptist denomination. Among others who preached In tne morning were: Rev. Shuford Peeler, at the First Reformed cnurch; , Rev. C A. Weiss, at the Lutheran church; Rev. Joseph a . Watts, at Forest Avenue Baptist church; Rev. William A. Barr, D. D., at St. Barnabas Epis copal church; Rev. William G. Hud- bard, D. D., at the friends' meeting house: Rev. T. J. UgDurn, u. u., ai Grace MethoQist Protestant church; Rev. T. A. Wharton, D.

All the schools received liberal ap plause, perhaps the most vociferous beine accorded the pupils of the Asheboro street school and the graded schools at Proximity, Revolution and British tand American Forces Meet at Guilford Court House. The military feature was the cL-ef attraction of the centennial yester day, theevent of principal interest being a reproduction of the battle of Guilford Court House. The sham bat tie, participated in by the regulars of the infantry and cavalry branches of the United States government and eight companies of the North Carolina National Guard, was witnessed by one of the largest crowds that ever as sembled on this historic spot. It is estimated that the crowd of specta tors numbered 15,000 or more people. The companies participating in the sham battle were: Company L of the Seventeenth Infantry, Troop L of the Twelfth cavalry and the following companies of the North Carolina Na tional Guard: Greensboro, Reidsville, Winston-Salem, High Point, Burling ton, Mt.
