Newton Notable tvent in Life of Belmont, Northern Suburb of The City A Splendid Building. Next to the opening of the public schools some years ago, Belmont, one of Charlotte's best suburbs to the north, yesterday witnessed its most notable event the receiving by the board of managers of the Old Ladies Home. The hour was set for o'clock. The Home is the former public school, and sits "as a city upon hill" to give light and comfort and invitation to the aged woman who knoweth no fireside of her own. To rprpivft the buildins from the con tractor. Mr. J. A. Newton, the offi cers, board of management, and ad visory board met at the Home yes terday together with a score or more of friends interested in the cause, and a larger part of the population of Bel mont. A line of automobiles and car riages directed the stranger to the Home. Before the formal presentation of the building by Contractor Newton, and the formal acceptance by Mr. Heriot Clarkson representing the man agement, the visitors Went over and through the building from roof to cel lar.

The next thing is the furnishing, To this task the managers bend to the oar, asking the help at the dan- sant tomorrow and at the cabaret supper April of the public. "TRUSTING IN GOD" BISHOP KILGO'S MORNING THEME Bishop Kilgo at 11 o'clock this morning denverea anumei series of sermons. The church was filled with an appreciative audience. The sermon was based on tne wavn Psalm, the subject being "Trusting in God." The bishop in opening stated that this Psalm which he was going to read was one which he had used on many occasions. It was seemingly addressed to young converts partic ularly. "The first thing to be considered, faid the bishop, "was man's willing tiMu r. trust. That trust was essen tial to every life,. No man can say he is lackine in trust. That the audience lar.kinz in trust would not be in their seats at this time. "it is not. the difficulty found m trusting but in having the right ob ject of our trust. A great dimcuuy Christians found was to get every thing out of their life but God and Thpv would nersist in erouuins things around Christ. "Satan will always be against fa naticism or great zeal. He can, thus, sometimes keep us from having God before us. You will notice he does nnt warn aeainst fanaticism for evil. "The campaigns which are some times conducted in churches where great publicity is given to the events will work harm. Some churches start a campaign, employ a big choir and et a man, expect in drawing crowds to conduct the meeting and construct a wall between them and Christ. "There is great danger in a Christian trying to get influence. They divide their trust betweer God and man: Trusting in worldly things can, also, put a wall between you and God. I know men who are work ing themselves harm by putting too much trust in the saints. Those who sometimes feel that they can net live acceptably to God, the bishop exhorted to remember al ways that the pardoning God is a keeping God and through trusting Him they can keep his presence. But he warned them against trusting theo ries, trusting the church, trusting themselves and mistaking that for their trust in God. "Anybody here got a compound of 60 trust in God, 10 per cent trust in self, 10 per cent trust in theories and the balance non sense? If you have fling it out and get an unadulterated trust in God." Sermon Tonight Especially for Young Men. The service at Trinity church to night will be especially for young men, with the general public . invited of course. Bishop Kilgo will preach Bishop Kilgo was president of Trin ity College for more, than 15 years and his experience with young men has been such to give him a broad knowledge of and sympathy for them. The morning service Saturday will be particularly for children, the gen eral public being invited to this ser vice also. Unceda Biscuit Nourishment fine fla vor purity crispnes3 wholesomeness.

Pharr, who has served Mecklenburg county in the state senate for five terms 1903, 1907, 1909, 1911 and 1913 will not be a can didate for re-election to that posi tion, he announced to a reporter for The News today. A-t the same time Mr. A. B. Justice announces that he will be a candidate for the place. Mr. Pharr's term of service consti tutes one of the longest in the recent history of the county and it is regret ted by many of his friends that he has declined to be in the race again. He served as president of the senate dur ing tne last two terms and in every way reflected lustre on the county he represented and was one of the most conspicuous figures there, according to an who are familiar with the work ing of te body. Mr. Justice has been mentioned for both the senate and the lower house during' the past few weeks, as well as chairman of the county democratic ex ecutive committee, which will meet tomorrow to elect a chairman and a secretary and appoint a date for the county primary. Mr. Justice has been a member of the successful law firm of McNinch & Justice since his loca tion in the city and has taken an ac tive interest in all public questions. He has been attorney for the local Merchants' Association for elevent years. He took a very active part in the recent freight rate fight which has ended victoriously. It is claimed for him that he is not only well fitted by reason of his familiarity with public events and his admitted skill as a par liamentarian, but that he possesses qualities tnat ougnt to maKe mm a candidate acceptable to every class of voteds. . The name of Mr. John A. McRae has also been mentioned for the state sen ate. So has that of Mr. Chase Breni zer, city attorney. Mr. McRae has also been suggested for the lower house. Neither Mr. Brenizer nor Mr. McRae have said definitely whether they will be candidates or not. It is well known, however, that they have both been urged to enter the race and they each have the matter under ad visement. Mr. McRae served as member of the house of representa tives from Anson county once and has always taken . a leading part in all public questions of a local nature, as well as those of state and nation. He was also city attorney for a time. Mr. Brenizer is recognized as one of the foremost members of the local bar and has been city attorney for both terms of Dr. Bland's two administra tions. His ready grasp of the essen tials of a question and the keenness and penetration of his intellect, as well as his parliamentary ability, it is claimed by his friends, make him a likely candidate for the place.
