Ci There seems to be a sort of fatal m w ity, though, about the times and sea- isons the town fathers pick for entering complaints about the service. Just now the "flu" has everything hereabouts in a deadly grip and has paralysed eil servicce. So there will be sdme rea son for the reply of the telephone of- ificalsi that they cannat help the ser vice just now, that the flu has cut 'down their their help until they con ciderr they are doing well to be able 1 to give any service at all. So it were well not to make any complaint about i company on the hip. Let 'em off for present deficiencies and make fthem make good those deficiencies on the morrow, when the "'flu" shall no lon ger interpose its cold and clammy hand. 0 LET'S OPEN CHURCHES. Arises now again the vexed question of whether or not it is meet to dose churches during this epidemic of in fluenza. The "flu" is a strange visi tation- No one knows much. ab ut it. If go s heres,oever it Jijtith, ;md thot const rcf tell whence it co:ncn nor whither it geth; and you are r.ot sure every time that it "has went when it seems to have gone.

Nay, rather, we know tliajt if may be But all the same The Robesonianin- clines to the belief t'.iat the town fath ers would make no mistake in allow ing church services to be neul, even though Sunday ic!h:ir remain: d sus pended for a while. Certainly there is no more danger in holding church services than there fa in people con gregating in stores. People who are of ' business or from going to stores to trade is sufficient excuse for staying tlemen,, you will hav the telephoned slight ailment that is not sufficient to IF3 B. F. McLENDON At least one Lumberton man who has heard Billy Sunday repeatedly, says, after hearing Evangelist McLen don for five weeks, that McLendon is much the better preacher.in many respects. McLendon has been before the public a comparatively short time and jf he keeps up his present gait it u safe to predict that in a -few more yean he will be as well known and as 'nJvateBkasSunday is now McLendon has,that draws men to him and that grips them During a five-! weeks campaign here, in spite of flu, Christmas holidays and unfavorable weather but the worst of these was the flu in spite of all, the crowds flocked to hear him. What went they out for to see? A man gifted in soft speech? Nay verily! He uses not soft pedal at all, nor soft soap. He uses vigorous speech, and picturesque, withal, and his speech-gait in the pulpit is running away. Words flow from him in a perfect torrent, and just when you think the words can't stand the pace and a half-dozen or so, are going to fall out at once and break their necks, he lands the whole works safely, right side up with care. Mack never has any doubt about where he is going on one of hiaiftaprjrjU, and if you keep up with, him and see how neatly he always ge(s there first and the run-away words did not. trip up, after all, you are well pleased and settle down to hear the next stunt of fast speech, with a prayer . for - the safety of any pet words of yours that may get caught in the torrent: But the disaster you momently expected at first never happens, and presently you realize that no matter how many adjectives Mack strings on one pole he is going to round out a sentence all right and you become facinated with the burning message he is pouring out of a heart aflame with zeal for the ! Master. It eannot be said that McLendon had the united support of the membership of ay church here, yet the people heard him gladly. If he had had a united community behind him in the cam paign but that, to use Kipling's fa miliar phrase, is another story. Mr. McLendon is a hard student, an omnivorous reader, ad is a long way up from the booze-selling, card-sharp, gun-play Mack of twelve years ago. He will go far, if he can keep up the pace. There are not wanting those who confidently predict that long be fore he has reached Billy Sunday's! 2 length of years before the public he will have passed Billy Sunday's record; the least bit sick do not. as A rule, at- il : 1 : akA fA-4 .Vmr-nVi MrvtM rA lnU oi" " I trie service uciuk iciiucicu nvw, uv wjju ...w. . . - - base complaint upon the sort of service,stop a person from going to his place Hey- away from church. The churches are well ventilated. If it is necessary to keep the lid on otherwise for a while, let's lift the ban on church services, anyway, protecting the children by keeping Sunday schools suspended, o Influenza patients need have no hes itancy about patronizing the emer gecy hospital at the high school build ing. It is nicely fixed up. It is not a charity institution. If you are able to pay you will be charged for services, and if you are not able to pay you will owe nothing. The main thing is to relieve the strain upon the physi cians. They cannot make the rounds when patients are scattered about. People in various sections have been begging the doctors to go to see them, and they have been unable to reach some of them, though working night and day If as many patients as pos sible are placed near together, as at the emergency hospital, it will enable the doctors to reach patients whom they otherwise could not reach. 0 Miss Eva Whaley spent the week end at Wilmington visiting at we . 1 1 home of her Drotner ana sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W.W.
