Farewell to Old Church
Continued from page 1
ties, it had become what is was today.
Capt. Franklin gave a touching illus
tration of the poverty of the early
church. He told of how the church was
too poor to purchase books, and how
the songs were printed in large letters
on pieces of cloth and hung on the
wali.5 so that they might be read by
the congregation.
Mr. Brown on the Plans.
Capt. Franklin was followed by Mr.
Willis Brown. Mr. Brown said that the
building committee had spent many
hours of thought on the plans for the
new building, and that now they con
sidered that the plans adopted were as
near perfect as they could be. He said
that it was hoped to have the new
biulding completed in six months, and
not later than November the 15th.
A Rich Heritage.
Mr. Dowil said: "As Napoleon said
to his soldiers, when he was leading
his army into Egypt, to incite them to
greater deeds of valor, as he p:ssed
the pyramids, "Soldiers, the eyes of
centuries look down upon you,' we
might say tonight as we begin this
great work, the eyes of saints, who
have gone from this church are watch
ing us, and we feel that we have the
prayer of those great and good men,
the equal of whom no church has ever
had, bis. Griffith, Boon. Whitfield,
Gregory, McManaway, Priicluud and
Barron, who gave their efforts in this
church, and who builded well and
st 5 eng. For any church to have been
served by these men is a rich heritage
indeed."
Mr. Dowd said that while the church
has had difficulties in the pus- in this
great work there would be other diffi
culties, but with the great and firm
foundation on which the church now
rested, this work would not he hard
to accomplish.
The Cruse of Oil.
The last speaker was Mr. C. E. Ma
son, who read the story of the widow's
barrel of meal and the cruse of oil, and
beautifully applied this to the necessi
tv of keeping alive during the next
few months the missionary spirit in
the church.
After these speakers, Dr. Hulten
stated that it was fitting that the last
religious act done in the old church be
an offering to missions and a collection
was taken, and after the sinking '"Blest
Be The Tie That Binds," the congrega
tion was dismissed, and a general
handshaking followed.
in his remarks Dr. Hulten stated
that this service closed twenty
months of his pastorate here, and that
during that time, 4G3 members had
been added to the church, and during
the singing of the last Tiymn, an invi
tation was given, to those who want
ed to unite with the church, and six
additions were made.

CARNIVAL COMPANY
HERE THIS WEEK
Master Fan-is Burch underwent an
operation at the Presbyterian hospital
today.
The Ministerial Association of
Mecklenburg county will meet tomor
row morning at eleven o'clock at the
Y. M. C. A.
Mrs. Mack Aldredge, of Concord,
who has been at St. Peter's Hospital,
has recovered sufficiently to be able
to return to her home today.

Mr. Gcorcie W. Rollins' Wild Animal
Show Will Be One of the Main Fea
tures During the Week Has a Col
lection of Nine Ferocious Lions.
Today marks the beginning of a
solid week of merriment on the mid
way. The carnival and Mr. George W.
Rollins' wild animal show arrived in
the city this morning and for the most
part of the day the ataches were rais
ing tents and erecting the tower for
the '"high dive." Both the animal
show and the carnival company were
brought here by the firemen and the
battery.
The carnival will be held forth on
the grounds in the rear of the Trust
building, between South Tryon and
Church streets. The attractions con
sist of various and sundry shows. The
Old Plantation, Electric Theatre, mar
ble statue turning into life, Nemo the
turtle boy, snake shows, high dives
and others.
The unloading of the wild animals
from the two cars in the Southern
freight yards, at Second street, was
an attraction within itself that drew
several hundred people. Some little
boys who had doubtless read wild an
imal stories ventured near the lion
cages only to be frightened away by
terrifying roars from a restless beast.
Mr. Rollins' collection of lions is
one of the largest in the country, only
two other organizations having more.
He has nine, and they are beautiful if
such a term may be applied with "fe
rocious.'.' Mr. Rollins has, also, leo
pards, pumas, hyenas, bears, wolves
and coyotes, a trained pony and the
lacking "Maud."
Mr. Rollins is one of the best known
wild animal trainers in the country.
He traveled with Mostock for nine
years and was here with T. K. Burke's
wild animal show 18 years aso He
was then a boy and played clarinet in
uie oand.

Don't hurry about it but don't

about opening a Savings Ac

self to get his money in the bank
Saturday night draws it out on
Monday. But it is the resolute,

wins. Such a policy applied to
the handling of a Savings Ac

to result in accumulating a .sur
