During the early ^art of the meet ing, some doubt w*4 expressed as to whether the people of Washington would be able to raise the necessary $7,500. A strong speech, delivered by J. F.

Itt is up to us to take advantage of the present oppor tunity, while interest in the matter is high. Washington loses more thsn $7,500 every year because of the present bad condition of the road. If we make up our minds that we must havo $7,500 and that we won't stop until we do get It, I em confident ?hat it can be raised without any Sreat amount of trouble.

Loftln, of Elizabeth City, Given Impressions of the Famous Evangelist. Of Interest to a large number of I local residents, who are well ac- ' qualnted with Rev. I. N. Loftln of Elizabeth City, will be his discission of Billy Sunday, the evangelist, and the latter's methods. Mr. Loftln conducted a revival at the local Bap tist chvrch last summer. He heard Sunday at Baltimore last week. "1 went to Baltimore," said Mr. Loftl.6 In beginning his sermon Sun day night on "Billy Sunday as a Christian Factor in Our Nation." "to study Billy Sunday at close range. I had read a great deal about him and all that I could And that he had written. "What Is the secret of his won derful success? "First, he Is dominated by the Lord, and is ready to take the word of God just as It Is and to speak It In terms of common people's con sciousness. "Second, he democratizes religion. One of the saddest features in the life of Christ was the fact that he had to go out of the church of that day to reach the multitudes Our churches today have become too rit ualistic. They are 'hlpch church.' not onl> among the Catholics and Episco palians, but the Baptists too. We surpress and depress our highest powers and the devil leads us to cull It reverence; whereas Billy ffcwwtny la teaching the world that the I^ord is to lead bis people out lb the free- j sst and most democratic msnhef.

WILL DECIDE ON CLEAN UP WEEK A meeting of the Civic Club will be held some lime next week and plans made for the annual ' Clean Up Week" in Washington. It la planned to make this event more elaborate than ever before and to give Washington a thorough cleaning in the way of cleaning up yards, tearing down old sheds, dig ging up weeds, carting ofT rubbish and otherwise beautifying the ap pearance of the city. I of living every day In tho week, not merely at church but In the realm of politics, society and finance a* well. Fifth, Billy Sunday advertises. He conducts hie religious campaign up on absolutely business like princi ples ar.d Is thoroughly systematic. I received a ?"ird Ince my return stat ing that a man from Elizabeth City had been converted In the Billy Sun day meetings, wished to unite with a church here and named me as his pastor This plan is an example of his system used In the gr??n' meet ings. as is also the system of tickets by which admission is gained In the always crowded building. Last, and to me the Rronip** rea son for his success is his absolute faith in Ood. He Is not afraid to ask for big things. In Ihe city of Baltimore with lis An?? churches and great preachers he was not afraid to demand that they build a I2ri 000 | hul'dlng to seat 20.000 people. Evi dently he is nto seeking money or he would not strike at sin In the .forceful blistering way In which he (does, not only among the lower but I the higher classes of society." HAYR BAKER.
