PROTRACTED MEETING Series of Meetings This Week at Chestnut Street Methodist Church Sermons by Rev- Dr. W. B. North Other Church News. ' A protracted meeting has been in progress at Chestnut Street Methodist church since SaturaayrK?v. vr. . B. North, pastor of the church, do ing the preaching. Services are con ducted every evening at 7:30 o'clock and the meeting will continue through this week. An Advocate With God Dr. North's text Sunday morning iho mh vprs of the bth chapter of Revelations: And another angel nmn onrf ctnnd .it. the altar, havinc a golden censer; and there was given unto him incense, that he should of fer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was be- fs.i.c iVa t.Virnnn. The preacher said in part: There is hnmnnit.v' in heaven in the form of Jesus Christ; ana mere is an in. numerable host there as proof of the power oi the blocd of Jesus to save sinners. The staints, that is, Chris tian people who love and serve God, should pray often, in the spirit, in earnest, importunately. It is an amazing thir- - that there are so many professing Christians . and still the world has not been evangelized; it is amazing that 'Christians do no more than they do to extend the kingdom of God. If sin caused the Son of God to die, the Word to as sume human form, if it opens up hell nd' destroys the hope of men, we ought to be convinced of its hein ousness. The prayers of even saints are of no availJ without an interces sorexcept by Jesus. How should the sinner feel when he comes to God in prayer and remembers that he has an advocate! Nothing could inspire the people of God more in the be ginning of a meeting than to know that Jesus adds his intercessions to our prayers. , A Great Need of the Church is Strength But they that wait upon the Lord -shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40, 31st verse. This was the text Monday evening. One of the greatest needs of the church is strength. Often we fail to put the proper estimate upon our task when we think of conquering our wills. There are so many wrecks where men have fallen because they were weak; so many are conquered by satan because they do not exercise proper strength. We contemplate the majesty of God but still fail to plac?. proper etsimate upon the strength of mind and soul nc-cessnry to measure d to the Christian life. "Work out your own salvation .with fear and trembling." If a man seeks money he must use the methods by which money is to be obtained; if a man farms, he must use proper farming method?. We should read and study the 'Scriptures to obtain knowledge of Cod, pnd'kncwlodge of God is re ligion. Study of the Word of God is superior to 11 other studies in frengtening 'the mind Another means, cf -obtaining strength is ob serving the holy ordinances .of the rhnrrh, By 4fe -word of-God wc can defeat the devil and 'win a glorious -victory. The Religion' of "Go." But. what think ve? A certain man had two son?: and he mme to t.b first, and slid. Son. eo work today in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he ro " pen ted, and went. And he came to the second, and aid likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? Thev say unto him. the first. Jesus saith unto them. Verily I say unto vou that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before (Continued on page 5 ), U: PHILADELPHIA WAY ... j Time Somew hat Dull Many At- tt-jded a air at l ayetlfvillc Per- ona' . n , .

The no-fence law ha3 been in ef fect for about 15 years, and for a f-jw year? just after it -came into ef fect . it- seem e dt o - b e- regarded . as ja, law, or at least more so than it has been for the last few years. In some sections there seems to be between the people an understanding to turn their hogs out in the fall after crops ait gathered, but this does not af fect the law against such; neither does it keep these hogs from going into cthei sections where people do not turn their hogs out The result of such is that those who keep their hogs up have to be annoyed and worried by the hogs of others. In other sections there is no un derstanding as to turning the hogs out, but some turn them out anyway. It is one of the things I do not l:ke to do, to have to keep after a neighbor or friend about his hogs. It if an embarrassment to anyone who has any respect for his neighbor or. friend. Owing to the large acreage being sown to oats, wheat, rye and other winter cover crops it will be very necessary that hogs be kept up this fall and winter. Why could not the rural policemen pay a little attention to this? I third' it would be very much appre ciated by many and would not be much trouble for them. J. A. FLOYD. Fairmont, N. C. .'"

Whereas, the great and supreme Ruler of the Universe has in His in finite wisdom removed from among us our worthy and esteemed and one of our most faithful fellow workers, D. A. McPhail, and whereas, the close and intimate relations held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this union and Sunday school make is necessary and eminently befitting that we record our apprecia tion of .him; Therefore, be it resolved: (1) That the wisdom and ability which he at all times pxhibited in the aid of our union and Berean class will be held in grateful and loving re membrance.

(3) That the removal of such a beau tiful life from among us leaves a vacancy which must be deeply re gretted and a shadow that will be realized by all the members and friends of this Union and Sunday school and will prove a very serious loss to the entire community.
