PAGE EIGHT "1 STIRRING SERMON IS DELIVERED BY DR. MORGAN SUNDAY j Noted Bible Scholar Preach es Twice at New First Pres byterian Church. —Baptis- mal Service. “But ye are that ye may. a royal priesthood, ait holy nation, a people for possession; that ye shew forth the excellencies of him who hath call ed you tint of darkness into his mar vellous light." The above verse, chapter two of First Peter, formed the theme of the eloquent and profound message which was delivered by Pr. G. Campbell Morgan, renowned Bible scholar, at the initial services in the new First Presbyterian church Sunday morning. Dr. Morgan cited to his large at tentive audience that the great under lying principle of the church is to reveal to the community, the state, . the nation, and the world the excel-‘ lencies of God. The noted Bible stu-J dent analyzised the subject of his dis- j course—broke it into bits—to deline ! its meaning. Form this Verse he drew j a most extraordinary sermon of spiritual value. I)r. Morgan prefaced his heart-grip ping message with a statement "it is singular and a signal honor to be the privileged one to deliver the first ser mon within the walls of this beautiful building. 1 feel that your own be loved pastor, Pr. Rowan, should preach the tirst message in this church. “Turn you m:mTs not to the build ing." said Pr. Morgan as he began his sermon, referring to the church, "but to the background of the church -—the saeremental symbol of all there is good and holy. Find the great un derlying principle of the church. Through varied illustrations Pr. Mor gan explained to his hearers that the ■ principle, the purpose and the power : of tlfe church is to show the excel- j lencies of God. “There is nothing the world needs quite so much today as God," ex claimed the scholar. "It is the one passionate and pulsive need of this j universe. When there is no God the j people perish. The World needs a j clear vision—a healing vision—of God. , God defeated Jacob to make him vie- j torious; God has to break many men j to win them for Him and to make | them. 'I have seen God face to face. I and I am healed,’ said Jadob. When- j ever one comes to God he is brought | to a place of healing and restoration, j "The purpose of this beautiful new | house of worship is to reveal God to j this community. Let your light show j forth that those without the Kingdom of God might catch its inHuence and find Him.” At this interval Pr. Mor gan pointed out the responsibility of each person in righteous living and helping his fellow-man. Pr. Morgan called attention to the fact'that "a people for possession is in whom God lives, walks, talks, gives His love, redmeption ad government." Prior to the hour when Pr. Morgan preached, Baptismal and Communion services were held at the new church. An impressive mulsicaj program was rendered in connection with this sacred and solemn service. Three children, Robert Lacy Dick. Sara Anne Parks and Erskine Frankline, were bafp tised. while Mr. and Mrs. Livingston Vann, Jr.. Mrs. Ben White, Sara Elizabeth Niblock. Charles Albert Gannon, Jr., Thomas Franklin Mor rison, Jr., and Roy Cox Crooks Jr., united with the church.

AND BRIDGES LESS THAN SIOO, REPORT Damages From Downpour of Friday Night Not As Uarge as at First Reported, Sur vey Shows. Less than SIOO in damage was done to roads and. bridges in the county during the heavy rain and thunder storm Friday night, according to es timates rendered this morning by W. G. Brown, county engineer. The greatest damage was wrought on the new route between Mt. Pleas ant and Georgeville, and amounted to less than $25. The damage principally was washouts in the roadbed. Three small bridges, however, old spans, were washed away during the tor rental downpour. Forces of the county highway de partment are making repairs today. Real Estate Deeds Filed Here. \V. E.

CROPS AND 1 HIGHWAYS DAMAGED BY FRIDAY’S RAIN ;One Farmer Estimates Dam age to His Crop at SSOO. — Rich Soil Washed Away ‘ by Raging Streams. Severe damage was caused to crops, farms, ‘ road* and bridges by Friday night’s torrential downpour, according to information received ! from farmers who were in Concord Saturday- The damage• wa* especially heavy in No. 9 township, where stream* normally not more than an inch or two in depth became raging torrents that, swept away corn. coriou, bridges and valuable farm soil. J. C. MulUs reported that u branch adjoining hi* lands over flowed its banks and caused damage to crop-t and land of SSOO. He stated that a neighbor. R. V. Barnhardt, suffered damage to the same extent. The rain in No. 0. began about jS o'clock and continued with almost i cloudburst proportions for four j hours. Several bridges covering mere i branches were washed away, all of the new road from Mt. P.easant to Georgeville was slightly washed and a big fill on Baugh’s branch, recently completed at considerable cost, was ruined. This fill was near the Gilbert Smith farm. Cotton anu corn on the Mnllis and, Barnhardt farm* were ruined over a large area, it wa* reported, and addi tional information indicates that crops on other farms in variou* sec tions of the county suffered a similar fate. Cold Water Creek was higher Fri day night and Saturday than it had been for many month*, crops all along its course being somewhat damaged with serious damage at many point*. Rocky River. Coddle 1 Greek and other streams were sent j dashing from their beds by the con ! tin non* downpour. Washouts and many holes in high ! way* in a dozen or more sections of the county bore mute testimony to' the savagery of the water* that were sent hurtling over them. The | damage to the roads will not amount |to a great deal, however, according | to official report* received here. While there was general damage | over the county No. 9 township ! seems to have borne the brunt of the water attack. The rainfall there was heavier than eNewhere in the county, and as a result streams were worced to carry more water and | created greater dnpiage. There was considerable lightning I with the rain but so far a* can be | learned there was no damabe from this source. * vwm\ In No.' 10 township, according to J. M. Hartsell, member of the board of county commissioners, Anderson’s Creek overflowed its banks Friday night for the first .time in three year* (| nns throughout that township was damaged but there was less damage to land than in No. 9.
