V i i J i A i- s I 1 f t CJLCS TX7Q Gcd Dcmancb Your Heart; Acceptable Service to Gcd " What God Wants of Men end How '. ' to Render Acceptable Service t6 God Were Theme Upon . Which Dr. Nisbet of Kansas City Preach , ed Two; Powerful Sermons . Here Sunday. - ' " a BitMl In Monday's Robesonian, Dr. Charles R. Nisbet, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of Kan ' sas City, preached powerful and elo quent sermons at the Presbyterian church here last Sunday morning and ovening. - Pr. Nisbet was on the pro gram this summer at Montreat, where he was heard by Mrs. H. M. McAllis ter, who was most favorably impress ed with him, and he came here from Wrightsville Peach, where he is spending his vacation, at the invita tion of Mr. H, M. McAllister, ruling elder of the church here, the pastor, Dr. G. E. Moorehouse, being absent on his vacation. , , , 1 "What are you offering in response to God's demand that you give Him your heart T" Dr. Nisbet asked in bis Sermon Sunday morning. , . 1 His . text' wass , "My son, give me thine heart" Proverbs 23:26. He named Intellect, money and organize tions as the most common things men give God in response to the command to "give Him their hearts, t - God wants the hearts of men,-and only such obedience as is the hearts dosire. Dr. Nisbet declared that- he believed that the ten commandments were as bind ine today as ever, uod wants obedience that is a spontan eous expression of the heart's desire. We should show that we love God by what we do and not by what we say. God comes to each individual and says, "Give me thine heart." . This Is a supreme demand for your affec tion. - God has a right to , make this demand as creator. God made man and has a" right to demand your love and service. "God has a right to de mand my love because he is my Fath er, the preacher continued." , 1 am duty-bound to love my parents. If I didn't it would be an outrage to my family and State. Then, too, God has -the right to demand your heart on the basis of being a good Father. ' God gives His children strength, comfort and assurance to meet all dif ficulties and to face the darkness of life. Can you feel the grip of the Father's hand " when tribulations come? If not, you have not known the great joy that comes from know ing God as a Father. God makes in finite provision for every need. ' ;The substituting of intellect for the hejirt in response to God's demand is one of the great , dangers . of the church today. Men substitute their minds for: affection; put : up their minds against their hearts. Men bring money as substitutes for their hearts. It is easier to raise money than to get men to give their hearts to God.' Here lies .the danger of riches. " " , , While stating that he believed in organization, Dr. Nisbet declared that one cannot answer God's demand with that alone. God wants your heart. T fear there is more churchanity , than Christianity." Men think more of organization than they think of the head of the church God.' It is not necessary to be a fool in order to be a Christian. Christianity is not a question of "giving up," but a ques. tion of "taking on." ' God calls men to make money for the church, just as he calls men to preach; yet one must bring himself with, his money and intellect. Have you given God your heart? If God has your heart you will give money, if : able, with pleasure. , ,, Acceptable Service. Dr. Nisbet's text Sunday, evening was: "She hath done what she could Mark' 14:18. He painted a beauti fur picture of how one may render service to God that will be just as ac ceptable as that of Mary. This act of Mary was described by the preach er as one of profound love for Jesus; a natural and spontaneous expression of the heart's feelings. "Love brings what it has and gives all," declared Dr. Nisbet The act of (Mary was an inspiration to the world and will live forever. The influence of kind acts never die. When you put jour shoulder under the burden of a discouraged soul it starts an . influ. ence that will live forever. Gad accepts whatever service we are able to render. Little things in the way of service cotmt for much. God does not expect you to do what you cannot do, but He expects you to do what you can. In closing Dr. Nisbet asked the question, "Are you doing what you can? ; SINGLETARrS CROSS ROADS Lumberton, R. B, Aug. 4.

The attention of the News and Ob server has been called to an address delivered by the the late A. J. Mc Kinnon, of . Maxton, at ' Lumberton I several years ago ; advocating the commission form of government for the counties. Maj. ' McKinnon was not only, -a good farmer but he was ako an exceptionally good business' man.' His judgment as to what would be the best and most efficient' plan of running a county has great weight with North Carolina folks.

" ' " Tna nosrccuuii, tuimrxcri, ncnx cahcleta, thuzcday, general use. Maj. McKinnon believed it could be used in county govern ment equally as well. In his Lumber- ton speech he said: The county legislative body - would consist of five commissioners elected so that each would as nearly repre sent one-fifth of the county popula tion as possible, subject to recall at all times. - This commission would select i county manager who would be r eom petent, trained and capable, and se lected solely on account of his fitness and ability to manage the affairs Of the county. He would be subject to recall by the commission 'of. by the people of the county. . - '.; ; Tii ffommiKiiiAn would hav of merit and fitness alone. This would leave politics entirely out of it.' Tne administration of alfairs would -be ."Wivided fat departments,"- all junder the Jurisdiction ot the county ea, Second the department of public service. This department," . It would think; should have charge of all pro perty, highways, .bridges, buildings and tools of our county. ; Third, the department' : of 'public' welfare, in charge of health, schools and everything pertaining to the-welfare of the-citizens of the county. : Fourth, the department of public safety, this department to do all police duty, serving all legal pro cesses and making all collections. : Fifth.' the department of records and finance, this department to have charge of all records, all court . pro ceedings, receive ' and ' disburse all moneys belonging to the county under proper voucher,- from each depart ment ' There is a difference of opinion as to whether the commission form in the cities has' been a success. Some think It affords no . improvement over the "old alderaanic system. There is a feeling that it lodges too great power in a few men." Democracy. is the" accepted form of government 'atid the people had rather make their own mistakes than have some one- else make them for them. In North -Caro lina at present the idea of "back : to the people" is rather pronounced. Progress is not as rapid this way. In fact; a well ordered autocracy is the best instrument of progress, but also it is the best instrument of tyranny. There are greater .things than pro gress. One is contentment and the people are best satisfied when they have reserved to themselves the larg. est practicable (measure of power. cut there is dissatisfaction with county government as it is and the time seems ripe for some chancres.
