The baccalaureate, sermon was preached last Sunday morning in the courthouse by Dr. J. E. Thompson, of Belmont, formerly of Asheboro. DrUThompson, was pastorpf the Ash eboro M. E. church for-fouf years and he Is much beloved in town. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Ira Erwin. ' Dr. Thompson tcok his text from Second Peter, "Faith, hope, charity, but the greatest of these is charity." "Charity," said the speaker, should be translated "love", tor . that is what it really means. The speaker began by saying that he had chosen a rather unusual subject ior ius sermon, " ine uaiancea nation". He called attention to the necessity of a balanced ration for the body, which v- i i. L-.ui. ,i , r uuiuui ue B.epii la neaitn wimoai .pro tein, starch, sugar, etc in varietv. and then showed how a balanced ration for the mind is just as necesary. The mind cannot be well-rounded by studying mathematics alone, neither can it thrive on English" or any other one subject alone. All the subjects of the curriculum have a highly important place in training the minds of the young for future use fait ss " Dr. Thompson said that anv one word in his text would furnish material for a sermon, but that he would preach especially' on faith. He said thaf noth ing is done in this-world without faith. The fanner would not sow his fields with grain if he did not have f;ut'i to believe that the grain would stow and make a new crop. So it is with all-ow lire's activites. . - A declamation-recitation contest was at the courthouse last night, but the courier went to press before eettinir a report of the result , ' ' Tonight,, at 8;30t-arplay "At the End Of the Eainbow." will be sriven at the gracVxT school auditorium.
