f r; Girls and Boy* Trained by Mis Hosford Will Bring Message it Sermon and Song. REVIVAL SERVICES AT CHESTNUT STREET GROWING IN INTEREST Mis. Hosford Will Have Charge oi Services Tomorrow—Dr. Redman Preached Wonderful Sermon Last Evening to Large CongregaHon berv.ce. it M A. M. *nd 7*0 P M. Every Day Except Satnrday Meeting WiU Continae Into Next Weeh. * Interest in the series of meetings which began at Chestnut Street Me thodist church Sunday has been grow ing with every service, the congrega tion last evening being larger than at any time since Sunday night. Rev. Carolyn Hosford of Springfield, Mass., who has charge of the sing ing and who interpolates spoken gos pel messages {between goBpel mes sages in song and with her saxophone, has succeeded in securing a large choir for the evening services, and the singing is sonl-stirring and inspiring. Solos by Miss Hosford Tuesday even ing and last evening were impressive sermons in song. Children's Chorus Friday Night. At the evening service Friday a big "booster , junior chorus" of over 200 girls and boys whpm Miss Hosford has been training every afternoon this week wiil bring a message in sermon and song. The children, all under 14 years old, will march from the school house into the church and to the large choir platform. The exact nature of the service they will give has been kept a secret. No doubt the capacity of the church will be tax ed at this service. This is the only time this chorus will sing. They will have a large orchestra. The hour for the evening service has been changed to 7:30. The Problem Today* Dr. R C. Beaman, pastor of the church, has been doing the preaching since Tuesday morning. Before tak ing his text last evening he said that you rarely see an old-fashioned sweep ing revive! now because a large per cent, of the people who attend the services are members of some church. The problem is, he said, to get the church members to mean something, to reach the heart of church members, to make them get a larger vision of the possibilities of spiritual growtn and to consecrate themselves to the service of Jesus. Most professed Christians have not begun to get out of their religion what there is m it or to realize the fellowship of JesUs, he said. Hia text was Luke o:4 and 5—"Now when He had left speaking He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep and iet down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled nil the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net." Works Through Means. "The Master works through means, and never apart from them", said the preacher. "He uses everything for the ongoing of Hia Kingdom. The crowd pressed upon him and he used Simon's boat for a pulpit Today he uses steam, electricity, aviation. He seeks the co-operation of all the forces of nature. Possessions never become glorious until they are contributed to this end. The things that Jesus laid his hands upon and took into His service were immortalized. "'launch out' is what Jesus is al ways urging us to do. Most of us hug the shore, and there is where the danger is. A soul is never wrecked that puts out into the infinite calm of the deep, but is lifted toward the gates of the morning. We have not tried it. We skim the surface only The waves of this vast unmeasured sea lap our feet, wafting to us a breath from the garden of God, but we hang back and are stranded on a desolate shore. "Launch out into the deep of the Bible. It is the deepest of all books, the profoundest and the simplest. It calls for our most earnest study. Knowledge of it is a liberal educa tion. "Launch out into the deep of trust. We do not feel the unutterable joy of trust and we fret because we do not trust God enough. We need to learn to trust where we cannot see, to hold His hand when the stars go out one by one. The utmost deep of trust has never been explored by any one. "Launch out into the deep of ex perience that you may know the peace of God that is beyond understanding. We have not reached the iand of Beulah; the gates of the King's gar den are open but we do not enter. "Ladneh out into the deep of ser vice. We never know the deep of ex perience until we launch into the deep of service. We have not put our selves where God can use us, we have been dull and stupid and have not let God work through us. "Launch out into the deep of God's fellowship. In the face of life's dis couragements we feel like giving up and saying, 'What's the use?' Any preacher or other Christian worker is liable to get discouraged and be tempted to give up and let the peo ple go to the devil if they will.

T. Townsend, T. A. Nor ment and Daisy Jenkins and will be held this afternoon at 4 at the homes {of Mesdamea D. D. French, B. M. Da ) vis and R. E. Lewis, t Mrs. A E. White and Miss Lucy [Allen offered their homes for prayer meetings Tuesday afternoon. Miss jHosford asked Mrs. White to report at each evening service where prayer meetings would be held the following ! afternoon. { Mast Want Revival to Have One. ' At the morning service Tuesday Dr. Beaman lai% emphasis upon the fact that a church must want a revival to have one. "Do we really and truly want a revival in this church and in Lumberton", he asked. "This is not Miss Hosford's meeting", he said, /'but my meeting and yours. I have never known a church or a commu nity to really want a revival that it di(% not have one. The supreme need ! of the hour is a revival that goes to I the foundations of life and brings men and women into submission to the i Divine will Preachers may wear themselves out without apparent re sults, bat when the members of a church get in the right attitude and want a revival there is always a [great outpouring of the Spirit. God is hot going to force you to have what you don't want." Dr. Beaman based his exhortation [upon Luke 7:26 to 50, reading and commenting upon the story of Jesus dining with one of the Pharisees and a woman who was a sinner washed his feet with her tears, wiped them * with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet and annointed them with ointment, and Jesu^ spake the para ble.. of the debtot who forgave two j creditors, one who owed 600 pense and the other 50. We are losing the consciousness of j sin, said the preacher, and the spirit; of gratitude ahM devotion. It takes the same grace to save a child as iti takes to save the vilest sinner—it! takes the same cross, the same sac- [ rifice. Gratitude should be in pro portion to what God has done for j us, he said. "The only thing God' wants is your heart. We are going down grade and need to realize that; we are as bankrupt as the other fel-t low." I Abundant Forgtveness "God does a complete job when He forgives sin; when He does a job it is done", said Dr. Beaman at the morning service yesterday, reading and commenting upon the 103rd Psaim. The 11th and 12th verses make wonderful and staggering i statements, he said: "For as the hea- j ven is high above the earth, so great! is His mercy toward them that fear. Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us." The height of the heavens above the earth has never been computed, said the preach er, nor the distance from east to west. It is a great inheritance, a; radiant hope. "About all we know of God is from the standpoint of motherhood and fa therhood", he said, commenting upon; the 13th verse: "Like as a father! pitieth his children, so the Lord piti-l eth them that fear Him." It gives a clearer insight into God's compassion to compare it with the compassion of a mother or a father for her or his children. , - ' What Went Ye Out For to See? If you came to church to find your! Master you'll find Him, said Dr. Bea man in his sermon at the evening ser-; vice Tuesday. "God is here", he said,! "but you will never see or hear Him or feel His presence unless your mo tive in coming was to meet God". He read from Matthew 11, begin ning with the 2nd verse, "noticing par ticularly Jesus' questions about John: "But what went ye out for to see?" and discussing motives. What brings the crowd to church?'he asked. You are not drafted, you are not compell ed to come. Every one comes under the influence of some motive. Some come from force of habit, some from idle curibsity, with no seriousness or sense of need and with no purpose to worship, while some come to worship, with a prayer in their hearrt and on their lips, to talk with God. If you come with the motive of worship and praise it is one of the sweetest and (Continued on Page 4) !n HoweBsviH*! Mr. W.

Fairmont, Oct. 24—Henry Pittman, . colored, tenant on the farm of Mr. Fos Ashley, white driving a Buick car ran into a hole on Center street about , 7 clock Saturday night. Pittman and a white boy were in the car at the time and it seems on!y a miracle that neither was hnrt, for the ieft front wheei crashed into the hole, which was about S feet deep, causing the front axle to drag the ground about 2 feet. The eye-witnesses ex petted to see this car turn complete ly over, but bn account of its being a heavy car and being driven slowly it 'did net go over. The hole was ieft for a septic tank in the sewerage line and in passing a car that was jparked Henry, hot knowing that the hate was there, drove in. Six or 8 men pushed it out and Henry started it pp and surely went on his way re joicing. The company ieft a red light there—yes, as many as five feet from the hole and up on a big high bank jof dirt, and on Sunday night about 7 o'clock the lantern was not even } lighted.
