THE BOBZSONIAH, LT72XBZ&TOH, NORTH OAXOUHA MONDAY. Jon 6. 1921. PAGE THEJEJ Sermons At Star Warehouse Revival Not Ashamed of the Gospel. The Wednesday evening: vice was turned over to Rev. J. H. Fulgum of Trenton, who preached from Roamns 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ : for it is the power of God on to salvation to every one that be lieveth." The preacher said in part: ' "I am not ashamed o fthe gospel of Jesus for He cleans from a life of cursing, cards and drinking and makes you clean. Are you ashamed of your religion? When you go in a place of business, do you tell them of your Jesus?' My God saves you from sin; he doesn't mean for you f0 go on sinning every day. The gos pel of Jesus Christ changes your heart. Sing the gospel, preach the gospel, talk the gospel. The gospel will take you ou. of the gutter and away from the slums and make you a man, a woman and a better citizen I want to tell you here f hat there is no other way for you to come to Jesus excep by the way of the cross." Here f-he preacher told of a girl who had gone astray and relatives had turned her out in the world to fight the, battle alone. She thought every one had forsaken her, but she had found Jesus blessed to her soul. "Do you believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ? Jesus has done more for you than every one else. Why do you wait?" God is Angry Wifh The Wicked. "God is angry with the wicked ev ery day" Psalms 7:11 was the text Rev. A. E. Paul used Tuesday night to show that if you conj-inue in sin God will be angry with you, that God loved the sinner so much tha. He gave His only Son for him. God loves you more than your earthly father. Your earthly father punish es you for disobediencf. Why shouldn't God ? "I cant, explain all there is in the Bible, but I believe it all. I accept what God says as the truth," declared the preacher. God loves the sinner but hates sin Why do you go on using profane language, drinking, gambling- and disobeying Him? " Why I believe it grieves God more for you to do this than a lost soul in hell does. God loves us and is angry because the devil has our hearts. God expects you to obey Him because He made you. Why do you go on breaking a law that was made for your good? Why do you say, 'I will break His laws, will have a law of my own?' There is only a breath between you and eternity and if you continue on in sin God will knock you off with His bow. He is a expert with His bow. He never fails to hit the mark. Don't think that God is not a God of mercy, He is, but notice that if you fail to obey He will destroy you. Above all things I don't want to meet an angry God. When God thrusts the sword fhere is no hospi tal to take you to. When destruc tion comes, then you will call on God for help. This w God's day of call ing. Wont you listen to Him before it is too late? We have all done wrong but oh! how God loves us still. Heaven and earth rejoices over a sinner who repents. Wont you come to a God of love tonight?" "What Shall I Do With Jesus?" One of the largest mid-week crowds of the series of meetings heard Rev. J. H. Fulgum preach a soul-stirring sermon Thursday night from Mathew 27:22: "What shall I do then with Jesus." The preacher gave a beautiful pic ture of the denial of Jesus by Peter, the prayers Chirst made on the mountain, and of Pilot refusing to pass sentence on Him; how He was crucified and how He arose and what for. !i!KZZ3 "What shall I do then with Jesus?" these words were spoken over 1900 years ago. If we just could see what these words mean we would be better men and better women. I wonder how many here that can say 4,Thy will, not mine?" You know the reason that our prayers are not answered is because we will not say in our hearts, "Thy will, oh God." Some of us, if we thought our boy, our girl, would be called as a mis sionary to the foreign field would not pray a minute longer. Some are like the disciples- have gone asleep. Oh, men, what is the matter? Cant you watch one hour? God is speak ing to this world today, saying, "why are you sleeping?" I tell you, people, God is going to hold you re sponsible for your sins. He is going to say, "Sleep on, thy hour has come." Morality or churchanity will not take you to heaven; nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ will do that The same blood that covered the cross will cover your sins if only you will let it.

The wicked shall be turned into hell. Is that good news? Christ died, was buried and rose on the .third day. Christ died for our sins, and to save us from our sins. That's the gospel The wrath of God is against all sin and uncleanliness. God gave His only Son as our substitute. We thank God he reached down on earth and saved us from an ungodly life. But why God loves us so much as )to give His only Son, I can't explain. The remedy for our sins is based on our faith in God. We must believe on Him before we can sfet the remedy. There i justice for the man who be lieveth but none for him who believeth not. When God saves us from sin He puts our sins away and remembers them no more. Don't you want your sins forgotten?"

"One hears a whole lot of talk these days about the boll weevil and no doubt lots of the tales one hears are greatly exaggerated," said County Agent Epps while talking to a Herald man the other day, "but the Clemson experts who have been camping on the trail of the weevil since he started out this way tell us he is bound to make his appearance in Dillion county this year in uncomfortable numbers. work of the rural schools on a new foundation which reasserts and re establishes the ancient principle equal rights to all." Thi means the abandonment of many more small schools scattered throughout our country and the maintenance instead of a few strong well-graded schools. Robeson county has made a good start in this impor tant work, thanks toour progressive board of education and superinten dent of schools. The U. Sw depart ment of agriculture has issued a valuable bulletin on this from which we quote a few excerpts: "The consolidated school, no longer seriously affected by fluctuations in school population, becomes an institu tion with fixed location and belong ings, an incentive is given to make permanent improvements to beautify the school grounds, secure modern sanitation and provide ample school room equipment. The large number of children assembled at a centrally located school make, possible graded classes and a better division of the school day. Studies can be introduced, which require special equipment and specially trained teachers, such as agriculture, home economics, manual training, music, advantages almost unattainable in small district schools. These centrally located country life schools, too, form convenient social centers for communities; local inter ests and activities affiliate with the schools so that public use is frequent ly made of their commodious class rooms as auditoriums, encourage ment is given to the growth of liter ary and debating societies, social and agricultural clubs, reading circles, athletic and other competition among pupils, and entertainment of various kinds. In the consolidated rural schools all children from the entire township, or district, meet, mingle, compete, strive, make friendships and learn how to work together. The school is free and accessible to all children within its jurisdiction. - All the boys and girls, including those in the high school, return home daily and, doing their allotted work or chores mornings and evenings keep in touch with the home arid the farm, and remain within the shelter of the home during the most impressionable period of their lives. There is no longer so much occasion for part of the children to attend distant board ing schools or pay board in the near by towns to attend high school. Class distinctions, which the old district school unconsciously fostered, are broken down and removed. The con solidated school is an institution which not only affords instruction in the various branches of knowledge but al. so reache, out and touches the com munal life and the home life and enriches and enlarges the individual life of the youth as the district school lever did and never can do, even under the most favorable conditions. "The consolidated school encourages permanency of residence of principal and teachers; it attaches them to che school, begets loyalty and enthu siasm and maks possible the formula :ion of long-time plans. The resident principal and teachers often take the eadership in social and literary activi. ties and having become a part of the jommunity set an example in citizen ship for all the children. Through contact with parents as well as with children they learn the character and home life of the latter quite as in- reports that have come to our ears time and again. If the weevil comes in big numbers this year the only way we can beat him is to get off an early crop, and with the crop from 10 to 15 days late at the present time we have got to do some fast work and have some mighty good seasons to get ahead of him." Dillon Herald. Confesses to Murder of Father. Orlando, Fla., June 3.--John R. Bryant, charged with the murder of his father, on the stand in his own defense here, today, told the jury that "I threw the weight which killed my father." He said he had killed his father after a quarrel and an attempt by the elder Bryant to shoot him, the only cause of failure being the snap ping of the cartridge in the .44 caliber pistol, with which the father had tried to kill the defendant, Bryant added that he had buried the old man on the shores of the lake, and when, on his return to the house, his wife questioned him, he told her that he had "killed father." This bears out the story told by Mrs. Bryant to the press last week. Death of Bracy Lee Home, Infant. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Bracy Lee, 17-months21-days-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. H.
