VOL. VII. NO. 59. GREENSBORO, N. C SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1900. f'i Price Five Cents THE REVIVAL MEEETIHC CLOSES "THE RESULTS 'ABE FAB BEACHING Not in Many Days Has Greensboro Been o Stirred by the Gospel Mr. Martin's Methods Different from Those of the Modern and Sensational Eyangeliat "Re demption Through the Blood of Christ" His One Theme The Revival a Bene diction. The meeting at Washington Street 3aptist church closed last night. Notin many a day has the city of Greens boro been so stirred and moved by the simple preaching of the gospel. Mr. MarLin convinced all who heard him. that he is very different from the mod ern sensational evangelists. His meet ing wa3 absolutely free from any methods or machinery. Before preach ing his first sermon he announced that he would make no propositions to the unsaved; that he would not invite them to come forward, or to stand in the congregation, or hold up their hand. The only invitation he would give would be for those ' who believed on Christ to. come out and confess him. This promise he kept to the close of the meeting, and yet, under the simple preaching of the gospel, scores of peo ple came out and confessed Christ. This meeting should prove to all that men do not have to resort to sen sationalism and tricking, to draw crowds. For three solid weeks "Re demption through the blood of Christ, " -was the one them, but people didn't grow weary of the old, old story, as -was evidenced by the crowded house at almost every night service. Mr. Martin's expositions of the scriptures in his Bible readings, were wonderfully lucid, and in his sermons he made the way of salvation exceed ingly simple and plain. The full results of this meeting will never be known this side of eternity. How many public professions there 'were is not known for no one thought about counting, but it is estimated that there were thirty or forty. Quite a large number who were already pro fessing Christians, and members of churches, told Mr. Martin and the pastor that they never knew before what it meant to be saved. Hundreds of Christians gladly acknowledge that they have had awakened in them higher and nobler aspirations. It vas a touching scene last night at the close of the service when a great throng gathered around the evangelist to thank him for his coming. Such a meeting as the one just closed is a benediction to any community, and jnust result in real and lasting good. A LECTURE ON CALVIN. Her, Dr. Reed Will Handle This Subject at the Presbyterian Church Tomorrow Night. Rev. Dr. R. C. Reed, of Columbia, Seminary, will preach at the First Presbyterian church tomorrow morn ing at 10130, and at 7:30 p. m. he will deliver an address on John Calvin. Dr. Reed is not only a learned profes sor, but is also a man of rare intellect ual force and brightness. The speaker's subject, aside from the assured attractiveness of presen laton, should interest every intelligent person. John Calvin was not only the exponent of a creed; he was the benefactor of a world. Says John Fiske, our profoundest historian, "It would be hard to overrate the debt which mankind owes to Calvin " George Bancroft, the well known author of the "History of the United States," says of Calvin, "More truly benevolent to the human race than So lon, more self-denying than Lycurgus, the liht of his genius shattered the mask of darkness which supersti tion had held for centuries before the brow of religion. " Least of all should any American vitizen be ignorant or forgetful of his debt to Calyin. Says Bancroft, "He that will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American in dependence." Says the great Ger man historian, Ranke, "Calvin was virtually the founder of America." Dr. Reed's lecture on Calvin is sure to be full of interest and instruction. Important Meeting.

AN OLD RAILROAD SCHEDULE. A Time Table That Was in Use on the North Carolina Road 34 Years Ago. The Telegram has in its possession an interesting relic in the shape of a time table that was in use on the North Carolina railroad 34 years ago. It is the property of Mr. John Rippey, the veteran locomotive engineer, who has kept it all these years as a relic of railroading in the past. " From Charlotte to Goldsboro, the two terminal points of the road, the passenger train made a trip in about 12 hours, an average of a little more than 19 miles an hour. From Greens boro to Charlotte, a distance of 93 miles, the time was five hoilrs and five minutes. On the back of the schedule is printed the rules and regulations by which trains were run. One of the rules re quired all conductors and engineers to set their watches by the clock at the company shops, now Burlington, and give the time to station agents and other employes along the route. Another rule said: "Whenever you are in doubt, take the'safe course. " Mr. Rippey has been in the railway service for more than 40 years. He was present, when the last spike was driven in the road, three miles west of Greensboro. BURNED AT STAKE.

A big open lot was the Scene of the fun which ended in the tragedy. Eddie was caught, fluDg to the ground and tied to the stake again, and the fire lighted. The flames gain ed too much headway and the boys at tempted to put it out by throwing what they supposed to be water upon McBride.

THE CANDIDATES WlXX GO XT ALONE The Democratic Candidates for Congress and Elector in the Fifth District WU1 Not be Met by Their Republican Opponents Major Guthrie Declines to Meet Mr. Douglas and Mr. Joyce Refuses to Accept a Challenge to Meet Mr. Kitchin. Mr. Robert Dick Douglas, the Re publican candidate for presidential elector in this district, says he is the only Republican in North Carolina, who wants a joint discussion and can't get it. His opponent, Maji. William A. Guthrie, of Durham, does not think rnnch rf irnnt rli'aniiesinna if aoome and has declined to meet Mr. Douglas in a joint canvass. A few days a.go Mr. Douglas wrote Major Guthrie, informing him that he was Republican nominee tor elector in this district and proposing a joint dis cussion. Major Guthrie replied that, inasmuch as the time-honored custom of joint discussions had fallen into disuse, or, to quote his own words was "in a state of innocuous desue tude,' he declined to meet Mr. Doug las in a discussion of the issues. Major Guthrie is one of the ablest debaters in the State, and his friends will understand that it is through no fear of facing the issues that he de clines to meet his opponent. Major Guthrie's declination appears to make it certain that there will be no joint discussion between any of the. candidates in this district during the rjresent camimifrn. So far Mr. J. R. Joyce, the Republi can nominee for Congress, has declin ed to meet Hob. W. W. Kitchin, the Democratic candidate, although he received a challenge soon after his nomination. There has been no joint discussion between the Congressional candidates since 1896, when Messrs. Kitchin and Settle canvassed the district. Tw6 years ago the Republican candidate, Judge Adams, declined to meet Mr. Kitchin. While Mr. Kitchin is again mak ing -the canvass alone, he is heard by large and enthusiastic crowds wherever he goes. He iseasily one of the foremost campaigners in North Carolina and appears to . be constantly growing in strength withthe people. People familiar with the situ ation think he will be elected this year by an increased majority. The Marriage of Rev. James R. Jones. The Indianapolis, Ind., Priss has the following notice of the marriage of Rev. James R.Jones, and Mrs. Car oline Li. Rees, which took place in that city Wednesday afternoon: v "Mrs. Caroline L. Rees and the Rev. James Read Jones of Guilford College, N. C. , were married this af ternoon at the home of the bride, on North Alabama street. The Quaker ceremony was used and the Rev.
