~ j S ' 1 i
It is evident that Rev. J. A. Dailey
Is a man of great Christian courage,
that he loves souls, and that he faithfully
preacher the pure gospel truth..
Every day more persona are becoming
interested and the meeting is
extending a powerful influence. The
services yeaterdfiy were of ar very
high order, and were well'attended,
the evening congregation being the
largest since the Sabbath. The hymns
mat. our tyrtbera sang were used with
enthusiasm.
At 4 p. m. Mr. Dalley preached out
of Zech. 8:18, "We will go with you:
for we have heard that Ood la with
you." The drawing power of Christian
living waa emphasised, and many
expressed a desire to be more efficient
in saving others.
At 8 p. m. the subject was Faith
and Failure, and the text was Marh.
5:5, "And he could there do no
mighty work." It was ahown that
Christ's work was hindered, not by
ths fact that he waa at horns oa that,
he waa the carpenter's eon, but by
unbelief on the part of the people
that the same unbelief ia making
cowards of many in Washington, for
they are evidently afraid of the'gospel?"For-every
one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither comcth to
the light, lest his deeds should be
reproved."?John 3:20.
The speaker ardently affirmed that
if the Savior should fall to bless
Washington during this season of
grace it would be because of the people's
unbelief.
Hours of service: 4 to 5 and 8

The plae* mentioned (Haw

in cur county where such lawlessness
is being practiced, but from almost
every country district comes reports
of a terrible state of .affaire, caused
by the whiskey traffic, which Is fast

Haw Branch is a beautiful little
Christian church, situated on the
south side of Pamlico river ten or
eleven miles from Washington. 1n a
community that was oace a quiet,
peaceful spot, where some of the.best.
law-abiding Christian people .of our
county lived, and today there lives
In this section many good people,
who have been reared there by their
-parents, and continue.to be among
the beat people of our grand old
county. But instead or the community
being as it onca was, it is turned
into a veritable hell, with drunkenness
and whirfkey making, and selling,
and tiie lawbreakers walk unmolested
to and forth, without regard
to the well being of the community.
Reports have been made?to bur
county officials, and If proper action
had been taken by them immediately,
the distilleries together with the
parties could have been apprehended,
but a silence of four days, upon the
part of the county officers, to whom
the report was made, gave ample
time for the removal of that part of
the distillery which was most Important,
and the entire biding of the

made.

young Taylor thinks Mr.
Wilson the greatest man In the
world. He was silent, though on
the quality of the President's golf
form:
"The President Struck the ball,"
laid Robert Bmmett, "and ft rolled
right to the edge of a hole. I sneaksd
over close, for I know what they
usually say when such a thing haptens
