a -large number of the congregation

Chestnut Street Methodist church
Was crowded again to -Its capacity,
with the exception of a few - vacant
seats in the, Sunday school room, at
the closing service Friday ..evening
of the series ' of meetings, - and Pre
siding Elder J.- H. Shore preached
another, of the igreat sermons, that
since ' a week I ago last -y night ; had
drawn , an 1 ever Increasing crowd to
services twice each day and had pro
foundly moved each -congregation
Many came forward for prayer.
j'Like.Bome stern old. prophet of old,
without resorting totricksi or sensa
tionalism, Mr.' Shore preached here a
series of sermons that for striking
thought, i ; clear i reasoning, ; ? deep
spirituality v and earnestness were
classics. Dr. Beaman. pastor of : the
church, voiced the opinion of the con
gregation tnat had neara tnese 'ser
mons when, at the beginning of the
closing service-,." hi' expressing appre
ciation of the labors , of ; Mr. bhore
here, referred to him as one of the
great" preachers of Southern Metho-
dism.? Dr;Beaman , also gave expres-
sion to the appreciation . of the com
munity for. the services of Kev. A. S,
Parker , of .Bisco, who contributed
much to- the success of the meeting as
song-leader and soloist.
Much good was accomplished by
the series ,.of ' 1 meetings , , and Mr.
Shore's sermons ' made a profound
impression that - will bear fruit f or
many days to come.
Mrvf Shore's . text was an unusual
o'he . Friday , night". Reading a Scrip
ture lesson 'from Heb. 11, first ; ten
verses, he took, his text from 4 Gen. 5,
24 and 27: .. i . 1 " tr
"And" Enoch walked'. with. Godi and
he was not;, for God took him." ; ,
"And all ,the days of Methuselah
were nine hundred sixty " and nine
years: and he died." '
A? What You Do That Counts
. Mr. -Shore " forcefully impressed
the fa'c' that it is. not how long you
live, nor ' when . nor where, but what
you. dp ;that "counts. Enoch was the
father of Methuselah and they lived
under the' same conditions and at the
same" time,, yet one was a sublime
success . and the other was nothing.
Methuselah came mighty high living
up to the flood, and if the flood had
got him ft wouldn't have gotten much,
according to. Mr. Shore.- '"You could
put' 40,000 men like Methuselah in a
tobacco seed," he said. ' Yet he lived
longer than . anybody else ever ' did.
Some people live more in. a year than
Ifchers .live in a hundred years. The
same usee that ; produced Ingersoll
produced ' Dwicht ... Lv Moody, "the
greatest evangelist that ever lived." j
Methuselah fvas the '. first teetotaler,
said the .preacher; he was bound to
(have been a teetotaler, else he would
" not , have lived- so . lone. There is no
record W his having done anything
wrong, or' Rood, -'either. He' was simp-
ly a negative character, and amount
ed to 'nothing.
T.i "To him that ! knoweth to do good i
and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
That, the' preacher declared, is vthe
most awful, thought irt the Bible. He
who knows to do , good and does not
dp it is as much a sinner as one who
breaks every commandment -;: in , the
Decalogue. . 4 ,; r t' V v y,b
S.'kii'-Watiful Sights f'i:ic
i A wonderfully sweet and' impres
sive . service was held; Thursday af
ternoon for children," and it was a
beautiful sight when at the close of
Mr.i Shore's intimate, loving, heart-to-heart
talk scores of children , went
forward and kneeled at the-altar for
the closing prayer. Mr. ; Shore read
the first seven verses of the 12th
chapter of Ecclesiastes, laying special
emphasis on the first part of the first
verse: vv st; -v.,,:x -
"Remember now thy Creator in the
days of thy youth." v - 'Jj '
. r '" Five Reasons '' '- -' .''
; The preacher gave five reasons why
cnildren -snould give - tneir nearts to
God: First your whole life . belongs
to God. Second, it is easier to become

The great part , tllhspiUrpUyslM.or ftietao-
in 'preventing the spread of conta-
gkfas diseases, was the thought in the
address of Dr. Ji. A. Thompson ..on
"Why We Have HospiUls" , at the
chapel exercises at , the high ; ; school
auditorium r Friday .morningtr:Dr.
Thompson's ' address was both inter
esMng and instructive, 1 r ' r ?ff
4 In beginning his talk' the speaker
made a -comparison of. public senti
ment regarding' hospitals - years
ago, w hen many thought of them as
a - Jail, and now Public sentiment Is
drifting right in the building of hos
pitals, the . speaker. . continued. There
is jno comparison in., being . sick in
the home and . in a . well-regulated
hospital. The home' is' built for well
folks, while the hospitals are built for
the sick. The importance of a trained
nurse in the sick room and the great
work of i the hospitals f in training
nurses both for work in the hospitals
and the. home was stressed by , tne
speaker. Both the physician and, the
parents feel safe when the sick child
is Placed in the hands of a trained
nurse, who looks after it with the
care of a"-mothet. . -'t ThZ,--
Hospitals are 1 planhedf ; so as to
prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases. The speaker v paid - tribute to
the work of the State Board of Health
and its agencies. These, he declared,
haw wrought wonders curing the
last fewyearst'i;4i-5,::;""iJ':: :'
- Another , important feature . about
the. hospital, the speaker said, is the
fact that a complete record of - each
case is kept on file for future refer
ence. These records, often prove of
value to the patient later in life..'
- Dr. Thompson stated that this was
his , first attempt to make a public
speech, but he spoke as one trained
