Hedgpeth, pastor of a number of Baptist churches out from Lumterton, preached Tuesdg yeven ing following the usual song service led by Miss Hosford and a soio by Miss Luia Norment, "The Ninety and Nine". Reading the !3Vtn rsaim, Mr. Hedgpeth took as his text verses 33 and 24 : "Search me, 0 God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts. And see ii there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.'' A High Mark. Living as in God's conscious pre sence, as religious in the day's work m on Suftdgy, stamping upon aii you do the sea! of a life consecrated to God's service was the ^deal held up by the preacher in a weH-reasoned and able sermon that searched the hearts of his hearers. "You must bo before the Judge of hi! the earth some day", he said. "I'd rather have all my sins discovered here and washed out than to have them follow me to the bar of God. You can't enjoy the presence of Gpd until you get sin out of the way. You don't have to commit outstanding sins, to shut yourseif out from God. Woridliness shuts out God and keeps back the Messing. You must get everything out of the Way." j An Expert Embalmer. "The devil can beat the Egyptians embalming", said Hedgpeth, lik ening dressed-up pharisees who sing and pray bat' *"cer rupt to a beautifully embalmed body and the outstanding offensive sinner to a unembaBned body. "One is as dead as the other", he said. "Except you be born hf the hoiy spirit, hell is your doom." 'Y' ** Cleaning Up Needed. "Preachers and members of the ehnrch couldput the devil -out of busi ness", declared the preached. "Chord* Ing.
