Tryon St. Mr. Tetter On Lent 's Purpose Alms Giving, Fasting and Prayer As Christian Means ot Over com ing The World, flesh And The Devil. At the Church of the Holy Comforter in Dilworth, last evening the first ser vice of the Mecklenburg District Con ference of the Episcopal Church was held. The sermon was preached by Kev. Chas. Getter, of Rockingham, on the three ruies of Lent: Almsgiving, Fasting and Prayer. The speaker began by saying that if people give more, fast more and pray more during Lent for the pur pose of relieving themselves of there duties for the rest of the year they have missed the whole purpose of the season, but if they use this season and these means to equip them selves spiritually, for greater service of Christ during the rest of the year they have grasped the point of our Lord's admonition about Almsgivin Prayer and Fasting. Spiritual service depends upon spir itual power and if we ask why we can not do the glorious deeds for God that others have done the answer i3 to be found in our lack of spiritual power. We do not ask or expect a man physically weak to lift a heavy load. And just as a man physically weak does not want to lift a heavy load so a man spiritually weak will not desire to do spiritual tasks, how ever, much their sweetness and sat isfaction be placed before him. Now the three enemies of the spirit are the World, the Flesh and the Devil. These we have promised in our baptism to renounce. Almsgiving is the sword by which to fight against a world that is ever growing more and more alluring. Fasting enables us to cultivate the habit of saying, "No" to carnal appetite. Prayer is the sword which we direct against all spiritual foes which we epitomize as the Devil. Like the Apostles who were with Christ on the Mount of Transfigura tion many of us would like to remain in the isolation in the. heavenly 1 rapture of this special time and sea son, but this is not the end and pur pose of Lent. We must abide in the mount but only that we may be bet ter prepared to enter upon the prac tical duties of mercy and love and service which await us in the every day life. The conference was continued this morning with service, Holy commun ion and sermon by Rev. R. Et. Phelps and this afternoon by reports of the Episcopal Churches in the district. Tonight the program is as fol lows: ""Missions in General" Rev. H. Mallinckrodt. "The Laymen's Missionary Move ment" Mr. M. B. Spier. "Missions in the Convocation" Kev. Chas. Fetter. The public is invited and the com mittee of One Hundred have been especially urged to be present. A lady's gold watch (Elgin make) was lost between Dilworth and the Little-Long store a few days ago. probably on a North Myers stret car. The initial "M" was engraved on it. MAY PROVE FATAL.

To-day 's Markets Carpenter, Baggott & Co. . New York, April 9. Without a larger or more varied demand for the staple itself, the professional trade is indisposed to believe that there can be any important rally in prices and in consequence are still wedded to the short side. Our market opened steady at a de cline of 7 to 8 points in response to the cables and looked for awhile as if sufficient support would be given to prevent any further de cline, but further weakness abroad caused a spilling out of the cotton bought yesterday on the reaction theory, and prices were forced into new low ground for-the season, May selling down to 9.20 and July 9.24. The volume of cotton coming out on the decline was very small as com pared with the selling recently and led to the belief that liquidation must be about over. Snot houses have been the buyers of May which has tended to narrow the differences between this option and July. Morehead & Co.'s Letter. New York, April 9. Bears had an other inning today and the market showed little recuperative power from the low levels. It was a weather market, the unfavorable news at hand being insufficient to encourage cover- in, and the forecast for fair, and warmer. Sellers were numerous and while some claimed over sold conditions there was nothing to start, a reac tion. Cables were disappointing and spot business was small abroad The! cause of the foreign weakness was said to be selling by Egypt and the Continent and a failure at London.

With the decline in general trade many weak spots are nueiy 10 ue uisciu&eu, so far hidden by the pull ot optimism.

He said a number of mothers had come, and were a little bit scarce of admission money, not having calculated on this possibility.
