The tent meeting held for the past two weeks by Rev. J. W. Carter- came to a close Sunday evening with a forceful sermon on "The Prodigal Son." In spite of rain clouds the tent was full to overflowing. One of the marked features of this revival was the brotherly co operation of all the churches of the town, all denominations work ing earnestly together for the good of the meeting. More than a hundred persons professed religion or renewed their covenant of faith. Great numbers of church members from time to time expressed a desire to render more consecrated ser vice. The town will be greatly helped by Dr. Carter's fearless reproval of sin and strong ad monition to righteousness. The service held on last Wed nesday morning for old people and heads, of families was espec ially impressive. A committe of ladies provided cars for the old people and through their efforts a large number came out. At each entrance two little 'children greeted them with a bunch -if sweet peas. Chairs had been pro vided to make the old people more comfortable. Dr. Carter spoke to them of the past and the future, reading and discuss ing with them the Bible descrip tion of Heaven. He recalled very tenderly the memories of by-gone days and painted beautiful pic tures of happy re-unions in the mansions "over there." Old, familiar songs were used through out the service. The singing was ably led by Mr. B. S. Grenfell. The singers from all the churches formed a large choir. The entire congre gation joined in this part of the service and thereby made the re vival all the more successful. The work of Mr. Grenfell in forming a junior choir and booster club was of special value. Through his influence many chil dren were no doubt led to Christ and into Christian work. _ The club will be given a picnic by some of the ladies this week. At different times during the revival special music was furnish ed by the following: Mr. Proc tor, of Lincolnton, the Cliifside Methodist choir, the Florence and Alexander Mill chorus ac companied by the Alexander Or chestra, and the Mooresboro Quartette. Perhaps the inost impressive song rendered during the series of meetings was a duet, FOREST CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY JUNE 8, 1922 LOOK AT THE LABEL Every subscriber who gets this issue of the Forest City Courier is requested to look at the label on the paper.

ONE INEXORABLE LAW This fact stands out beyond dis pute: Cause and effect are abso lute. . . . We violate life's perfect laws, which constitutes the active cause —it may be passive, or neglect, which brings the swift and dire effect, —effect commensurate with the cause, so strict are life's un varying laws! Man's wilful sins may be for given, that mar his errant road to heaven, —though scarlet-red, or black, we know forgiveness makes us white as snow-? But —violate life's least command, forgiveness lends no helping hand —and grim effect will follow cause, in this most stern of human laws. If you should ask me why itjs so, I'd have to say that I don't know! 12 PAGES 72 COLUMNS
