M. and 7:30 P. M Daiiy This Week—Rev. Stewart Milne of Alamance is Doha# th< Preaching. A series of meetings began at th< Presbyterian church yesterday mom ing and will continue throughout tht week, services being h*M at 10 a. as and 7 JO p. m. daily an^g Saturday The pastor, Dr G B. Moorehouse preached yesterday morning. Rev Stewart Miine of Alamance preached a strong aermdn last evening. Ht will do the preaching througout thf week. "The Power of the Gospel" Was the subject jttsed by Mr. Milne last night Hia text was Romans , 1:10—*"Fer 1 am not ashamed of the gospel hi Christ: for it is the power of God un to salvation to every one that believ eth; to the Jew first, and also to the Creek" "We are sometimes confused on as* count Of so many interpretations oi the gospel", said Mr. Miine as he ap pealed to his hearers to manifest the gospel of Christ by their every action. "God gave a demonstration of his handiwork in the western part of this state and the great Atlantic ocean There is nothing that promises any thing better in the beyond, except the gospel, in order to be a leader in this world it is necessary to be a Christian, and one can only be a Christian by belief in the gospel. So many people listen to their preacher and accept his theory of the gospel, but they never invstigate for themselves the truth to be obtained, and have Revet ap plied the gospel personally." The gospel was not intended for any certain class of people, the preacher made clear, but it is essential for everyone. The rich man needs it for it will show him that there is a better home prepared for him above; shows him how to utilize the blessings God has bestowed upon him to the best ad vantage. The poor man needs it el&tpHy as much, for it shows him the !way\to higger and better things in ! this an# the after life. God is no respec or of persons, and Christ was [compassionate to the poor. The statesmen, scientists and aii big men of the worid need the gospel. "It is sometimes sad and vexing to hear some people say they beiiave and claim that is faith", he declared, and said that all vessels must be thoroughly cleansed before it is pos sible to realize the power of the gos pel.

The filling station recently built by The Lumberton Oil Co. opened ior f business Wednesday morning with Mesara Albert Inman and Gary WMson Says U S. Course Since War ignoble, Cowardly Former Presideat Says France and Italy Also Bare Strapped Treaty Only Way America Can Shew Trae Appreciation of Armietice Day by Putting Away Seif intereat and Actissg Upon Highest Ideate. Wa^ng^n, Nov, Id.—Woodrow Wilson, addressing the Amsgicaa people directly tonight for the first time since he left the White Honed HeeiewM Aaterica'a attitude after the world war was "deeply Ignohia. rowargty and dishonorable." France and Italy, Mr. Wilson also declared in a discussion of world af fairs, have made "waste paper of the treaty of Versailles". The former President said the only way in which the United Sta.ea could thow its true appreciation of the sig* nificance of Armistice day waa by resolving to put seif-interest away ttnd to formulate and act upon the highest ideals of international policy. Mr. Wilson spoke exactly five ihinu.es into a radio instrument at hig house here and his message was broadcast to every section of the Country. "The anniversary of armistice day", ke said, "should stir os to great exal tation of spirit because of the proud recollection that it was our day, a day shore those eariy days of that never to be forgotten November which lifted the world to the high leveis of vision snd achievment upon which the g.cat war for democracy and right was fought and won, although the stimu lating memories of that happy time pf triumph are forever maned and embittered for us by the shameful f$ct that when the victory was won -rwon, be it remembered, chiefly by the indominabie snirit and valiant s*. Winces of our own inconquerabie soldiers—we turned our backs upon obr associates and refused to bear any rsponsible part in the administration sf peace, or the firm and permanent Establishment of the result!)) of the *ar—won at so terrible a cost of life <md treasure—and withdrew into a tallen and selfish isolation which is deeply ignoble because manifestly mwardly and dishonorable. "This must always be a source of %eep mortification to us, and we shall inevitably be forced by the moral obli gations of freedom and honor to re lieve that fatal error and assume once more a role of courage. self respct and helpfulness which every rue American must wish and believe to He our true part in the affairs of the world. ' That we should thus nave done a rrcat wrong to civilization, and at me of the most critical turning mints in th ehistory of mamnnd, is he more deplored because every an t'ous yoi r that has fol.owed has made he exceeding need for such services is we might have rendered more and nore manifest and more and more messing, as demoralizing circum stances which we might have cen Jrblled have gone from baa to worse !3ti! now—as if to furnish a sort of inister climax—France at a Italy bt ween them have made waste paper of the treaty of Versailles, and the vhole field of international relations s in perilous confusion. "The affairs of the world can be tet straight only by the firmest and nost determined exhibition of the vill to lead and make the right pre rail. "Happilyj the present situation in iffairs in the world affords as an opportunity to retrieve the wrong and ;o render to mankind the incompar tble service of proving that there is ot least one great and powerful na ion which can put aside programs of [elfrinteyest, and devote itself to prac ticing and establishing the highest dealg of disinterested srvice, and the :onstant maintenance of exalted stan lards of conscience and of right. "The only way in which we can )how our true appreciation of the sig oificance of Armistice Day is by re solving to put self-interest away and once more formulate and act upon the highest ideals and purposes of inter national policy . Thus, and only thus, mh we return to the true traditions of America." Fiddlers' Convention at Barker Ten Mile.
