Robeson Baptist Association it is! indeed gratifying to see the titth-Sundav Uuiun Meeting in creasing m power and influence for good. These meetings have been an important factor in the development of the Association for a number of years, and their increasing helpfulness is easily discernible. The fact that about four of these meetings are held in different parts of the Associa tion every year makes it evident that a large part of the brother hood is brought directly under their influence. The meetings are supposed to be educational and inspirational. Questions per taining to church life and activi ty are discussed with a view of informing and inspiring church members so that the work of the denomination may be prosecuted as intelligently and faithfully as possible. Measured by this high stand dard. it may be safely said that the recent meeting held at Hog Swamp church, near Kingsdale, was a success. The attendance and interest were good. More than thirty churches of the Asso ciation were represented, and, notwithstanding the fact that this is a very busy season for the farmers, the attendance on Sat urday as well as Sunday was un usually large. In the formal organization, ! Revs. D. P. Bridges and D. B. Humphrey were elected modera tor and clerk, respectively. On Friday a helpful sermon was delivered by Rev. A. A. Mc Clelland, and subjects related to doctrine, discipline, and church pohty were discussed by Revs. D. P. Bridges, J. J. Scott, J. M. Fleming. W. S. Johnson and others. From 10 to 11 a. m. Saturday practical talks on the Sunday school were made by Revs. R. A. Hedgpeth and A. A. McClelland and Mr. E. C. Nye. At 11 o'clock there was a sermon on "Christian Stewardship" by Rev. C. H. Durham. In the afternoon the Laymen's Movement was care fully and helpfully considered and discussed, the principle speech being made by Rev. I. P. Hedgpeth. On Sunday there was an in thusiastic Sunday-school mass meeting under the management of the local Sunday-school quar terly meeting. The address was made by Rev. Fred Collins, a bright ministerial student who has just completed his course at Wake Forest College and expects to go to the Louisville Seminary this fall. Rev. C. G. Wells, the new pas tor of Bear Swamp church, was present. He is a valuable ad dition to the Association. Representatives from the new church at St. Paul were formally received into the Union. The next meeting will be held at Ten Mile church. July 29-31. D. A crowded house greeted the singing class of the Oxford Or phanage at the opera house Tues day evening and $2o2 were rais ed for the orphanage, the best collection that has been taken anywhere in the State on this trip and the best collection ever taken before here. Lumberton people never do things by halves and they have a State-wide rep utation for liberality to orphan ages. The concert was thoroughly en joyed from beginning to end and any one ot a number or pieces was more than worth the price ot admission. Ad the children acquitted themselves well and showed excellent training. The class is composed of 14 children, 10 girls and 4 boys, and they are accompanied on this tour by Mr, M. i(. Hill, business manager of the orphanage, and Miss Sattie Marler, teacher. Mr. Frank Gough. of the local Masonic lodge, had charge of arrangements for the concert and the entertainment of the children. Messrs. A. E. White, W. W.CarlyleandSandyMcLeod. of Lumberton, andDr.J.P.Brown, of Fairmont, gave free use of their automobiles to bring the children toLumberton from Fair mont, where they gave a concert Monday evening, and the chil dren enjoyed the ride immensely. Mr. Gough also had charge of the collection, to which there was such liberal response. The children went yesterday to Laurmburg, where they gave j a concert last evening. This evening they give their concert in Maxton, tomorrow evening in Red Springs, and Saturday eve ning in Hope Mills. One of the members of the class, Grady Morris, about 12 years old, did not take part in the concert here on account of being sick. He has slight fever and cold and was left at the Thompson hospital, where he is being cared tor by the local Ma sons, and will be sent to the or phanage as 30on as he is able to travel, which will probably be next wreek.
