Interesting; News Items- Revival Services Commence Next Sun-dny There was a very good attend ance at both services last Sunday, especially the morning service. Many visnors were present at both services. The pastor preached on the subject of "Faith, and the Pow er of the Christian Church to Pre serve Faith" at the morning hour, and the matter of "The Revival" at the evening hour. The music was good at both services. The Missionary Program at the Sunday school hour was unusual ly good. The special numbers of music by Misses Williams, Rowe and Shaw were very appropriate. The five-minute address was de livered by the pastor who snoke of uirisnan Missions ihe Supreme Work of the Church," relating the Sunday school to this work as a vital agency in the spread of the Gospel and training for a more sympathetic spirit toward mission work both home and foreign. Max The pastor met the liule girls in their regular monthly Sunday af ternoon meeting. A short but in teresting program was rendered. The pastor spoke to the children for a few minutes. An enthusiastic meeting of the boys was held Sunday afternoon in the Baraca room, when the Methodist Boys' Cluh was organ ized with ihe following officers for the first term: President John Wyche. Vice-President- Grainger Pierce, Treasurer Sterling Pierce. Secretary Walter Sledge. The pastor assumed the direc tion of the plans, work and amuse ments of the Club. There were eighteen present who become char ter members of ihe Club. One very enthusiastic promoter of this work was not present on account of being sick, Walter Sledge. He was enrolled as one of the charter members also. Each one present was very enthusiastic over the prospects for a real live club. The pastor pledged the boys his sup port and willingness to help in making the Club a success. The objects of ihe Club are these: De velopment and love for Christian service, fellowship of comrades, clean and wholesome recreation and amusements fined to the needs of growing boys. Member ship is open to boys sixteen years of age and over ten years of age. By special vote boys of other ages may be admitted to membership. Get ready for the revival. No one should let a revival be held in town and not have some pari in some way in it. The least we can do is to attend. However, that is a great step in the right direction, and puts one in line for some ac tive pari in the meeting. The pas tor desires three things to be in evidence in ihis revival: the pres ence and influence ot the Holy Spirit in every service; soul-stir ring music by using such hymns as tell of 'Jesus and His love' for losi men; strong, yet plain, simple gospel sermons. Let every one join in making these three things possible. We begin Easter Sun day. The Book Club. The Book Club was entertained on Tuesday March 23, ai ihe home of Miss Eunice Clark, on Sycamore street. Most of the members were present and responded to roll call with in teresting current events. After business features were disposed of the program was opened by the Club singing "Annie Laurie." 1 he subi-ct for the day was Japanese in America, and Mrs. L. C, Draper gave a very interesting paper on "Japanese Labor and Art in ihe United States.' Mn 0. W. Pierce read very effectively, What America has done for rae. an article written by a Japanese school girl at the time of her grad uation trom an American nigh School. Another old song was sung and the meeting adjourned. 1 he hostess servea a delicious ice course with minis and butionsires of jonquils. Luncheon for N. C. College Girls.
