VINES' "The Paradox of the Christian Life" was the theme developed by . Dr, Vines last night at the Immanuel Baptist church. The largest crowd of the week heard the splendid deliver ance. The minister was at his best. The increased congregation must have Wn an inspiration. As a pulpit ora. v,o snnerior of Dr. Vines has not ) been heard in GREENVILLE. His diction is superb, his gestures mean ingful, and the spirit of his words fraught with the presence of . God. His hearers hung on his every word last night. He toolc his text from Paul's letter to the Philippians, "Work uot your own salvaton, for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of his own good pleas ure." Dr. Vines first stressed the fact that salvation is a beautiful word. He told of how Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, the prince of preachers in bis day among the Baptists of America, could thrill his audience by merely pronounc ing the word. But the meaning of salvation is the main sxxengui ui plan it unioias. uou " T "V" galvation. This is God's peculiar Thepeaker developed this jt6 . . most - u "tirfr . ... . it,. . ttinnirht effectively. God is great ana mciuuea the wide world in his design and feel ing, but man is not too small for him to single out. It is he who gives salvation. Man is to work it out when once it is given. Dr. Vines told of f tQ hig tWQ gong Just bef ore he parent ealled tne boys about a iatner in lexas " him &nd gaid. j ieavmg you a gold mine in my farm. I want you dig it out." Soon after the passing of the father the boys set to work. With nick and spade they made haste n unearth their riches.

He meant for us to till the soil, plant the seed, harvest the crops and we' would' grow to be rich in this world's goods." The idea 'struck home. The workers toss ed aside their implements and forgot the geld for which they so long toiled and went to work with a different idea in mind. This, said Dr. Vines is the idea of salvation on its human side. God gives it to us ind we are to work it out. A man should grow in vnrifai ian grace. The Christian that is no larger in his sympathy and service a year after he is saved than ha was when he is saved has a right to ques tion his hold on God. Dr. Vines then 1 stressed the point that salvation is a beautiful co-working on the part of man and God. As man tries to make, good his obligation to the church and to God the Father in heaven helps him. God is more in terested in our growth than we our selves are. It is his business to help us reach up and beyond. Nothing brings the" Fanner Tiarr so TnUcTS and satisfaction.; In the atternoon t t . 4-V s-i nam A service JJr. vines useu that he in part developed the after noon before, the words of Jesus to his disciples, "Lo I, am. with you al. ways, unto the end of the world." Tuesday afternoon the thought was developed that Jesus is present with he Christian all the while, yesterday the idea of the presence of the Holy Spirit was pointd j)ut. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father now, said Dr. Vines, interceding for his followers. But the Spirit keeps us from being orphans. He is with us as the "Other Comforter.'.' Tonight Dr. Vines preaches a spe cial sermon to young people and the parents. "Home Sweet Home" will be the theme. The public is cordially in vited to hear the message. Home Sweet Home will be sung by the choir FIVE BROTHERS AT RECENT All Fought in the Confederate Army All Are Natives of State of Virginia. Richmond, Va., April 7.

Tomorrow nisrht at eight fifteen clock in the auditoriumtf the High School wilkbe held the annual debate the High School.

The question ior aeoaie is Resolved: That .the policy oi coi- ecttive bargaining through Trade Trade Unions should prevail in Ameri can Industry. GREENVILLE'S af firmative team is composed of Miss Frances Taft and Mr. Frank Patrick. The negative team is composed of Miss Pearl Wright and Miss Mavis Oakley. For the past month these four folks have busily engaged in getting ma terial together, arranging, and other wise making ready for the fray.- This is the first time that any of these de baters have appeared in a "World's Series" but GREENVILLE support prs are confident that all .evidences of the amateur will be entirely lack ing. The birds i nthe woods near town have been very much disturb ed by the unusual sounds that they have heard which proved to be the oratorical outbursts of the namesakes of Taft and Patrick and others of fame.

The effect they, have in keeping boys out of trouble with the police is em phasized in reports which have come to the playground and recreation as sociation from all over the country as s of the most important results of the establishment of playgrounds m cities. These facts lare given in the year book of the association just made public. The chief of police of San Francisco believes the establishment of neigh borhood recreation centers is. a con structive measure toward suppress ing the crime: wave. He asked the community service, to exten dits re creation work because he believed that sTevftorig ssSi3&f: leisure time had much to do with the increase m crime. Granville. Lee, supervisor of the Portland, Me., recreation commission, says that bad boys behave themselves better during the playground season and also that there are fewer street accidents of children because of play grounds. The playground directors of Bay City. Mich., have discovered that sum mer activities on the .playgrounds have practically eliminated all swear ing, cheating and stealing among the children. They note with satisiaction that the spirit of fair play has helped to put the playground bully where he belongs and boast of an apprecia ble falling off. of delinquents.

Watts as com missioner o f revenue -artd ' taxation is v. considered by many papers of' the State as purely a political appoint ment but few .express the belief that Watts was named for the purpose of ' furthering Governor Cameron : Morri- son's future political ambitions. ' There has developed ' considerable f opposition to the appointment and the " . Raleigh News . and Observer, after de claring the appointment V'shocks the.

"Governor Morrison has : made ; an. appointment which has all "the ear marks of 'pie distribution and one. that will hardly meet with approval - outside Jthe political faction, largely controlled by the appointee,'; is tne way the Kinston Free Press views the situation. "Colonel Watts' only claim, to the office," says the Free Press, "was jpreforment on the strength of factional political service" and thinks the colonel's friends, have not made "any serious claims to hi peculiar fit ness for this particular office, or" his qualifications as a tax export.', On the other hand the Hickory Record " con- eludes that "All papers concede that Mr. Watts has the ability" but douta the wisdom of the appointment since Mr. WattsV does;OioJt-enjoy t,'? fidence x the'people." : The governor; The Record concludes, "has 16st in public esteem by 'his action.'' ' The Raleigh Times sees in the nam ing of Watts a polictial appointment, v "made for political reasons, and not primarily for the common good.-It s may square the governor's, debt' to ' Watts ; it places both of them heavl-;. ly in arrears to the people of North ' Carolina, if they meet this pbllga-; tion, well and good, and none will be , more highly appreciate7 than- those, who are most dubious." ; .Whether Governor Morrison has I'made anend of his" policy of appointing men by 'i reason of their proven capacity 'for the sort of work assigned to them . , serf bv The Times ht t- Viewed" from the political angle it would have been almost impossible," says the Salisbury Postvif or ;,Gov- ernor Morrison, to turn - , jdown the Statesville man. If any . One man made Morrison governor it would be Watts. More than any i other : majx Watts contributed', to the election 'of Morrison and to refuse that man place asked for, . especially when hundreds and perhaps thousands of mighty good citizens and party workers .pleaded lor r. him, would have, been an' act beyond most men. The, Post thinks the friends of Mr. Watts will justify the; appoint' ment but submits that "The unfortu nate part of the matter is that . such an importantiplace must be filled, for . - - ' .fix '.. . v j f Jms4 - political . purposes, tnat a pou ci debt must be paid " with so responsi ble a place, and, also, that governor should have been asked to pay sucli :' a price for party service which Is not; often unsejfish aeryice. . ..; ' , With"' other ifapers - The Wilson .
