revival at MT. ZION.
Revs. Lance and Goodchild Win
Plaudits for Earnest Endeavors.
Last Sunday evening was the close
of a eight-day revival
at Mount Zion church.
Rev. R. C. Goodchild, of Burling
ton, assisted our pastor, Rev. C. M.
Lance in this revival. Mr. Goodchild
did the preaching in the day and
had charge' of the ‘singing at all
the services. 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. We too, are thank
ful for our community friends as a
whole. We like their progressive
spirit in doing things in the best
possible. We admire more
; strongly their love for God and their
determination to trust and love God
more in the future. j

Pittsboro, Rt. 2, August 10.—Mr.
Charles Morris entertained a large
number x>f his young friends at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Murph Cooks
last Friday night. Mr. Morris served
as a refreshment, ice cream. It was
the most enjoyable party that has

II The pastor has V done some strong
l preaching. It is the general opin
* ion that this was the most success- I
ful revival we have had here for
! years. Saturday evening the peo
ple surprised Mr.. Duval with a gen
erous pounding. His car (was full
and overflowing with good
things provided.
A series of meetings began at
Christian Chapel church near here
yesterday. Theie will be two serv
ices a day. One beginning at 2:80

Mr. J. 0. Seawell spent the last'
few days in Moore County with rel
atives. While away he attended the

Cagle, of Pinehurst.
Mr. and Mrs. . T. Overby and lit
tle Jewell Lane Overby have return
ed from a four days’ stay with Mr.
I Overby’s parents at McCuMers.
The game with the Camp Bragg
Nine at the Sanford diamond Sat-
resulted in the score of 4 to
6 in favor of the Camp Bragg team.
The game was very interesting and
was attended by a large crowd of
ball enthusiasts.
| The community was shocked to
hear of the death of Mrs. Lewis
| Marks, of Wilmington. 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.

Presbyterian church Sunday evening,
