His sermons were pre sented in a forceful and effective mannei. His singing was very im pressive and effective, filling the people with the spirit. [ We think Mr. Goodchild is a fine t Christian Gentleman and any pastor will be fortunate in securing him as a helper in a revival. Bev. C. M. Lance preached in the evenings. He certainly did some fine ' - preaching in a forceful and effect- j ive way. We think in highest terr of our pastor and we have confi dence and faith in him. We feel that this revival has ac complished much good. We feel the church members have been re vived and their spiritual lives have ben strengthened and that they will bo stronger men and women for Christ. There were several coversiors The prayer meetings which were held each morning before preaching inspirational and a help to each one in getting in closer touch with our Master. It was very pleasant to have both Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Lance visit. in the different homes during the week. Mr. Goodchild complimented j this community very highly, which 1 w e appreciate.

Lewis is a Chathamite, having been bom and reared here, and has a host of friends and relativej3 who sympa thize with him in his great loss. On ly a few weeks ago both Mr. and Mrs. Marks spent several days with, relatives here, and every one was impressed by the earnestness, and the sincere devotion of the splendid young people. Truly the thoughts and prayers of many are with the bereaved young husband. j j Friends will be very glad to know 1 that Mrs. A. R. Lawrence, wjjo has been taking treatment " under Dr.' Wright, of Raleigh, for the past several months seems to be very* much improved, and is looking bet- ter than she has ior a long whije. i ! Dr. Wright says Mrs. Lawrence is • one of the best of patients and bears , pain like the Spartans of old. Mrs. I Lawrence has undergone some very j painful operations', but not once has 1 j her nerve failed nor has she been under the influence of ether. 1 Some one has suggested that , one wishes to know how to have a j miraculous answer to an unexpressed j desire for something good to eat,' just ask Mrs. A. P. Harrington to re- * | late Her experience with a Cliathaih rabbit recently. Faith without works may be dead but some times a shot without aim brings down the game j A few more peach crops like the 1 one just harvested from the orchard of he Cherokee Brick Company’s farm here and Brick Haven will rival i the famous Sand Hill sections for peaches. In fact, the peaches were finer and better than many from that section this year, and were sold at a lower prjce. The demand was great-! er than the supply. Rey. Archie Ray preached at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening, l filling Pastor Barclay’s appointment, The young man made an interesting talk. i ~ “ ’ -- L _ ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE 1 Having qualified as administrator ■ of the estatte of the late H.
