VOLUME LL NUMBER 27 MEETING CLOSES TONIGHT, i Last Service of Series of Meetings at Chestnut Street Methodist Church Will Be Held This Evening at 8 Services Hare Been Well Attended and a Number Have Professed . Faith. - a The last service of he series" of meetings that began at Chestnut Street Methodist church on May 2nd will be held this evening at 8. The services have been well attended, both morning- and evening, and the gospel has never been more simply and powerfully and faithfully pre sented than Rev. H. M. worth, pre siding elder of the Rockingham dis - trict, has preached it in this series of sermons. Several - have professed faith and church members have been greatly strengthened. Future Punishment I Certain. Last evening Mr. North quoted many passages of Scripture showing the completeness of the final separa tion of the good and the bad and the note of finality that runs through an reierence in we uwie 10 mis sep aration. Some people want to discard all idea of future punishment, but the Bible is plain on thif point. There 5 s no escape from it. "Tou must eith er be .saved or lost. It would be im possible from a spiritual standpoint for God to save the person who, in the light of the gospel, dies unrepent ant. But God has never yet thrust salvation upon any soul. It is a mat ter entirely within the human choice. The Heavenly Vision. At the morning servic,, Saturday Mr. North based his remarks on Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heav enlv visit n " A man may be sincere! in what he does and yet bp wrong, mid the preacher, even as Saul thought he was doin right when he wa8 persecuting the followers of Je- sus. Being sincere in wrong-doing nn'nil fnr nno mnv fmA oirf. . . ' . ' jne Bible is a peneci mirror wmcni tells you thP truth about yourself.! If vou want to see your :n, look at it in the Bible. It is only whon men see the eoodnes? and greatness of! God that they realize how sinful they art, chairman, Mrs. J. fa. Loxe, Messes are. The essential' thing is to see!

Christ in the Home. In a sermon that profoundly touch ed the hearts of his congregation, from the vunest t tlie oldest, Mr. North Sunday morning poached Christ as- the onP essential around which every home should be built. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the- sinner appear, 1. Peter 4:18, was the text, and the proacher stressed the one word "ungodly," directing his ex hortation especially to those who ere jHfToutbroken sinners so much but who simply are trying to get along without God. In Justness, men con-1 sider everything but God, and also in building homes. Leaving God out is like making up mortar without lime, or li'kp making up dough and leaving out the yeast. Every home is built around certain ideals. In one home arounu ceruu. hll, J $ 11 1 1 i. tij ctv sicvv sleep and prepare themselves ior business. There are worldly homes, with every convenience, where God and religion are patronized, but Christ is not the center. There are other homes that are built around Christ. They are the real homes. The innates of such homes are not quoting Scrip ture or ringing Psalms all the time, but vou cannot be in Buch a home long without ' - realizing that parents and children reverence God. The greatest traggdvin the world, said the preacher, is for a child to learn that fath.er and mother are sinful and bad. You can trust childrert raised in a godly home. They may go astray for a while, but if great moral princi ples and love of God is instilled into them they are young, they will come back into the right way. It does not pay to leave God cut cf t )e home. The End of Sin is Death. Romans 7:11-13 was the text Sun Hav evenine The preacher showed that ther- are -only a few elemental . 11 J A. A? ' J I ' Sins, wnen ioikb gei urea ana ui gusted with a certain sin that has had a "run . the devil takes it out and Hrpssea it ud as something new" and brings it back.' People do not look upon sm as the really very bad thing . it is. We will not repent very deeply unless we think sin is very bad. Sin deceives folks. Satan is a master in the art of deception. If satan appeared with cloven hoofs &nd ni-tchf oik he could net do an? busi ness, so he appears in forms so at- tractive as almost to deceive the elect themselves. We see sin at its attractive beginn ing, not as it is at its hideous close; "or we do not connect the two. Selfish ness m "mall child may not appear o bad. but if allowed to go uncor rected it wil lin later "years manifest itself in theft or oppression. All recognize that the wreck of a life is bad. but few are wise enough to see the beginning , tha ij must inevitably lead to wreck. . Satan tries to make us think we nr stronger than we are. No one intends to let sin get the mastery of him. A man flatters himself that he Ms too strong to allow sin to over- come him, as others have been over come but it always works out the same way. The end of sin is death. no matter bow sniau the beginning, LUMBERTON'S POPULATION. Census Bureau Announces 2,691, an Increase of 461, or 20.7 Per Cent. If Suburbs Were Included the Count Would Be at Least 6,000 l':fficial Census Taken in 1915 Gave' Town tud Suburbs 5,053. According to figures si m i out by the census - bureau Tuesday, Lumber ton's DODulation is 2.691. an increase of 461, or 20.7 per cent., over the 1910 census.

A complete census of the town com pleted on the 1st day of January, 1916, and sworn to by Chas. o. uar-diner-n January 31. 1916, gave the .population of Lumber ton and suburbs as 5,053.

Hester. nor how pleasant it may seem: follow it to the end and it will lead to death. There hi nothing so horrible as sin. Poverty and ignoroac and suffering are bad, but all three combined are not as bad as sin, and if you add sin to all three yon have a veritable hell. Sin has never done anything but curse mannnd. , .
