Notes, from Bethlehem, -Editor Recorder :Oa Saturday- be fore the fourth Sunday In September a series of meetings were begun at Bethle hem church, Pender county, under the direction of the Rev. Frank Wooten, assisted by Kev. A. J. Bordeaux and Bro. Hanson Bland. -' It continued eight days, with the following tangible results: Additions to the church, twenty -three twenty-two by baptism and one by res toration. ; At the inception of the meet ing the ehurch was a in sv eonf essedly critical condition, and there were not wanting ominous forebodings and even prognostications of failure; but on Mon day morning trie enuren y brougnt in its tithes into the storehouse " of the Lord, and He verified His promise by open ing the windows of heaven and pouring them out blessings? rich and copious. $ & The people laid aside their secular In terest: Mod " came ' up nobly to f the help iAf Jthe ;:.LoTd.nf The u.' exercises I throughout, the songs, the prayers, the talks, and the sermons, were short and sweet, brief and happy..-. t There was i a stid and snap about them .that betokened : earnestness and enthusiasm. s. ,? ? ..!- ,s . - .The.meeting was, indeed, most oppor tune.

" TBsy have caught up an inspiration which we trust will widen and deepen and-in-tensify and sweeten under the mellow ing touch of the years before ua.1 Dur ing the meeting the good people around Bethlehem dispensed a generous, yet quiet, hospitality, so proverbial of the plain people of the Uld JNortn Btate. Their hearts and their homes were wide ; Brotner wooten is a young man oi decidedly . clever, parte He . has good ability, superior .education, - and is bIe8sedf Wlth the rare gift of "saving common sense." r in bis brier ministry he has been eminently suecessfal.
