'Talking With Tongues" not
Unanimously Accepted Here.
What is known as "Speaking
With Tongues" and referred to
by some as the "Modern Religi
ous Mania" has caused a disa
greement among the followers of
the Holiness faith here. Some
believe in it white others do not,
Just what effect on the local con
gregation the disagreement will
have is not known yet.
The Holiness membership he.
was 90 or 100 strong. It is com
posed of some good, strong, con-
scientious and influential people.
They have a tubernacle here and
have accomplished good. They
reach a class of people that need
the Christian influence thrown
around them but who are" some
times not reached by other
churches. In this way they have
accomplished much lasting good.
But any one familiar with con
ditions were not surprised to
hear Saturday morning that
there had been a breech in the
congregation over the "Speaking
With Tongue." This idea, start
ing in-California had spread and
some time aero reached . Dunn
this State, where is a stronghold
of the Holiness followers. Know
ing that it was a short time unti
it would be brought to Lumber-
ton and taught to the congrega
tien here, two officers of the local
congregation went to Dunn to at
tend one of the services in the
Unknown Tongue." When they
saw and heard, while not ques
tioning the genuineness of the ef-
ct of the teaching, they thought
and advised tnat the time was
not ripe for the new doctrine to
be taught here. The Lumberton
officers came home and no more
was heard by them of the com
ing of the teachers of the new
doctrine. However, two weeks
ago yesterday two of the preach
ers did arrive here and in the
absence of the regular pastor of
the church here they were per
mitted to use the tabernacle for
preaching these new ideas. It is
believed that a few of their servi
ces atthe first did good. Some
of the congregation were so af
fected by the teaching that they
talked in the "tongue" while
there were others who were
not effected to that extent. It
was this that caused the
disagreement. The teachers of
the new doctrine went so far as
to claim that no one who could
not be so affected had not receiv
ed the Holv Ghost- Many of the
conservative element of the con
gregation could not see it this
way and were not willing to have
the hope that, they had built up
and believed in set aside by such
teaching. The pastor of the
church is not himself a believer
in the "unknown tongue" idea
and offered his resignation to the
congregation unless a stop was
put to the new preachers. When
the visiting preachers announced
services for Saturday night they
were asked to withdraw them
until a conference of the church
could be had and until it could be
decided 1 whether the meeting
should be allowed to continue or
not.- The new teachers seems to
have misconstrued the spirit of
request and withdrew from the
church. We hear they exoect to
place a tent here later and con
tinue the preaching of the un
known tongue idea.
This new teaching has , been
disastrous to the minds ot some.
hese who have believed all along
they had been saved and recei ved
the Holy Ghost were resting con
tent on their accomplishments
and felt at ease about their soul's
salvation. 'When they bad
that they have not showed
dence of the real. and supreme
test of thjir solvation. They
n.usit Ik? affected so as to express
themselves in "unknown tongue."
Taey, some of them, endeavored
t' d-isoand could not. There-
suit is tint their mind , has been
atiected.
THE "OESTBICT SKULE.
AROUND THE TOWN.
Busy
Reporter Finos Tilings
Where he Walks.
If one would know the busiest
claj-s of men in town he should
have taken advantage of the
spi iug-like days of the past week
to perambulate around town a
little. The workmen were hard
at work. The carpenter has all
he can do and there is more of
that kind of work than there are
carpenters. The brick-mason has
no time to be idle and the unpro
fessional laborer is in special de
mand.
Around the railroad yards is
the greatest evi 'ence of activity.
The new depot is building and
taking shape. The walls are al
ready aeveral feet above the
foundation. It is going to be
pretty aud up-to-date in every
respect unless it should become)
too small for early future needs.
With the present growth of the
town it is a hard matter to plan
definitely for even a few years
ahead. The Seaboard also has a
large squad of bands at work
building sidetracks from the de
pot east. They are filling in on
both sides of the main line. This
is badly needed as the congestion
of tracks his been very inconven
ient for several weeks. N We un
derstand it has been impossible
lately fofl verad Jays at v a time
for the Kaleigh or Charleston
trains to get up near the station.
Freights and passenger trains
have to exchange all kinds of
courtesies at times to get pass
The new railroad, the Carolina
& Virginia Southern, is also a
factor in the railroad activity
The promoters are at work on it.
Grading is going on and rails for
several miles of track are en route,
we understand.
There are stacks of railroad
cross-ties on the depot yards and
there is the material for the Sea
board's new trestle across the
river, we near that the Sea
board and the town are negotiat
ing arrangements for the town to
furnish water for the Seaboard's
trains. If this is done we sun
pibse the old tank will be removed
at tne aepot- mis will remove
an unsightly object and at the
same time save the trains some
tinfe on their schedule, as they
will be able to get water while
the passengers are getting on
and off the trains-
About tlae town afe many new
bouses going up, and others are
undergoing noticable repairs and
and still others will be started
poon. Mr. A. W. McLean is
planning to build a handsome res
idence on the lot where the late
B. Godwin lived. We understand
the Godwin residence will be
moved back and give way to the
new one. The cottage occupied
by Mr. J. R. Poole will also be
moved back. Other new and
handsome residences have been
completed recently and have al
ready been referred to in these
colu in ns, with the new court hous
graded school and other needed
undertakings completed we will
have ground for being proud.
The town authorities are con
sidering the matter of numbering
the streets and houses of the
iwn in order that we may know
where we Jive.
Fairmont Local Talent Presents
Amusing Playi,
1 The "Deestrict Skule", a play,
was presented at Fairmont, (Ash'
pole) Friday evening by Fair
mont's local dramntic talent.
Rather the play was repeated
Friday evening, as it was pre
sented two weeks ago and proved
so popular that its repetition was
insisted on.
The play was given in the au
ditorium of the school building
It was for the benefit of church
purposes. The attendance Fri
day evening was large and atten
Hve- ine poor receipts were
nupplemented by sale of cream
after the play.
ine piay as presented was
just what the name suggests
a Deestrict Skule." Characters
assigned to act the different parts
did so with distinction and glory
to themselves. There was the
Ichabod school mister, a teacher
of the old school, with his switch
with which "he urged sometardv
oiterer along the flowery path
of knowledge." The personnel
of the school was the same. There
was the "smart-alec", the "know
all", the know-nothing", the
"timid-lad", the "blushing-
lassie", the "mischief-maker
above all, praise be, there was
the immortal Blue-Back.
If one had forgotten the scenes
of his childhood in and around
the country school he should
have witnessed the presentation
of the "Deestrict Skule" at Fair
mont Friday evening.
