Carolyn Hosford Held Undivided Attention of Large Congregatioh at Chestnut Street Chareh—Rev. J. A. Hornady Preached Splendid Sermon at Morning Service. PLATFORM WILL BE PRO VIDEO FOR LARGE CHOIR Evangelistic Campaign Bcgina-Mu aic Under the Direction of Miss Hosford Will be a Featnre of the Services—Services ' Twice Daily from 10 to II a. m. and Beginning at 7:45 P. M —Dr. Beaman is Ex i EMM M Today or Tomor row. An evangelistic campaign which ts expected to continue for ten days or two weeks began at Chestnut Street Methodist church *yesterday with two splendid services. Rev. J. A.{ Hotnady of Maxton preached at the morning service, to a congregation that almost fiiied the main auditorium, ah earnest sermon that searched the hearts of his hearers, and at the evening hour a crowd that taxed the capacity of the church, every available seat in the main auditorium and Sunday school I room being taken and seats being placed in the aisles, heard a splendid sermon by Rev Carolyn Hosford of Springleld, Mass., following an in spiring song service. Miss Hosford, as has been stated in The Robesonian, is a soloist, choir- ^ leader and evangelistic worker of wide reputation who wili have charge , of the music during this series of ^ meetings. She had charge of the ser vice last evening and this morning and wili conduct services until the pastor, Dr. R. C. Beaman, returns, from Louisburg, where he has been engaged in a revival during the past week. He wili return tomorrow at the latest, possibly this afternoon or tonight. Services Twice Daily. Services will be held twice daily, this week except Saturday, from 10 to H a. m. and begining at 7 =45 p. m., Miss Hosford this afternoon will begin training a "Booster junior ^ choir" in which she wants all the; available children under 14 years old.; They will prepare a surprise for Fri day night.

' Prayermeetings will be held at homes that are offered for this pur pose every afternoon from 4 to 4:30. At the service last evening Mesdames Jno. C. Fuller, R. E. Lewis and J. A, ' Sharpe offered their homes for pray er services this afternoon. ! Miss Hosf&rd is being entertained at the homeYof Mr. and Mrs. J. C.[ Fuller, Elm street. Character Revealed by Works. ! "And the woman said to Elijah, j Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the, Lord in thy mouth is truth—I Kings 17:24. ? ' With the foregoing as his text Mr. Hornady yesterday morning preached an able, helpful and most appropriate; sermon for the begining of a revival. He made wonderfully plain and con vincing the truth that people can nev er know you are a child of God mere ly because you say you are, that you can't do much leading somebody to Christ unless your life is right. Christ Himself, said the preacher, never asked anybody to take His unsup ported word. Mr. Hornady complimented the choir upon the splendid music at this service.. Solos by Miss Lula Nor ment and Mr. Caryl Cleavenger, the latter of High Point, were features of the music. ServMe unto rne Lora. At the evening service Miss Hos iord's text was a part of I Chronicle 29:5: And who then is willing to con secrate his service this day unto the Lord? Miss Hosford has a simple, earnest, pleasing and entirely unostentatious manner, giving the impression of one who ig wholly absorbed m making her message helpful and unconscious of herself. One of the first fruits of a revival, she said, is a new song In one's heart. It is necessary to have a sort of spiritual housecleaning, to { turn, on the search-light and find out who are willing to consecrate them- j selves for service unto the Lord. There must be a desire for new hfe. She stressed the importance of promptness in God's service. The two weeks during which the revival will last will soon be gone, and there is no time to lose. "This day" is an important part of the message of the text, she said. Another piano will be placed in the church today and the singing under the direction of Miss Hosford will be an important part of each service. Familiar hyhuuf were sung last ngiht. Miss Hosford will use song-books of her own selection and supplied by her beginning with the services today; Geo. H. Wiggins Critically IH—Mrs. Brown Passes. Correspondence of The Rohesonian.
