The largest class in the College \s the Bible classs taught every Tuesdav afternoon by the Presi dent of the College. It is the purpose to give the students a four-year's course and the Bible is studied as a Book, and the great characters in the Bible are carefully noted. The class is now studying the historical books. The reception given the school by the Sunday school of the Re formed church was greatly enjoy ed. The new church building is well adapted to occasions of this kind. The study of "The Hymns we S«ng" onSundpy afcer the"Quiet Hour" has proven mosc helpful and profrable. Students are more familair with hymns sun? and can enter more fully into their spirit when they sing them. Much interest is taken in the mus ic department as usal at Claremont and in order to become accustom ed to playing before the public the girls by appointment play at the chapel exercises. Many young ladies return from school after having taken a course music and can not play a hymn for Sun day school. In this way the Claremont girls become familair with sacred music. The different departments in the College are working nicely and this session closing at Christ mas promises to be a vary pros perous one from e /ery sta ld point.

COMMENT We have already spoken of the proposed banquet to be held soon to consider steps for the ad vancement of this section, coun ty and city. Christomais week is the time when it should be held. The charge for a plate will be very reasonable. of good ladies of the city will doubtless be glad to prepare it for the sake of securing funds for some gpod object. We want to have with us at that time all the county of ficials and as many of ton Boosters' club as Subjects to be discussed will be good roads for ment of rural schools, how to better farm conditions, how to raise more per acre, what the banks, newspapers and farmers union can do to help the city or county and kindred subjects. There is no estimating how much good can be done by put ting our heads together and agreeing on a plan to pull all to gether. # • No speeches should be over five minutes lonsr. ! Think what you tkh suggest for next year's development. We would be glad to have you write us a line for4fee paper as to your ideas on the subject. PUT YOUR MONEY IN THE BANK We are printing elsewhere in this issue a story of an old wom an wno didn't believe in banks. She had her money aewed up in bed quilts and hid ' under the chimney jamb. She-had a good deal of money, too. She thought she knew the safest way to keep it. She was attacked by robbers and killed. She lost both her life and her money. A man who carries his money around with him w&held up by highwaymen and robbed, accord ing to a story we saw in The Charlotte Chronicle recently. Hickory has two of the finest banks in the State or in the South, managed by good men and true. Put your money there. It is fool ish to hide it or tote it around. DO YOU WANT AN INSTI TUTE? The Democrat has told about the plan to have farmers' insti tutes at every school house with in 15 miles of both Newton and Hickory this winter. But in or der to get one the people in the neighborhood of the school must usk for it. The Department of Agriculture is only willing to givfc the institute to peoDle who manifest enough interest to say: "It will do good. Let us have it." Write the Chamber of Com merce of Hickory or the Boost ers'' Club of Newton. Do it now. Debate at Rutherford. Correspondence of The Democrat Rutherford College, Dec. 7. The Newtonian Literary Society held its regular semi-annual open debate Friday night, Dec. 2. After an address of welcome by the President, Mr. W. B. El kins, Mr. Isaac F. Cotton deliver ed an oration on the "Duty'of young men." The declaimers were Mr. Fred C. Ballard on "Novel Courtship," and Mr. Elzwan T. Jordon on "The In mate of the Dunglou." The query for debate * as: "Re solved, That Trusts and Monopo lies are a Positive Injury to the People Financially." The speakers on the affirma tive were Messrs. Walter M. Smith, John C. Umberger. The speakers on the negative were Messrs. Edgar L. Kirk and J. E. B. Houser. The decision was 2 to 1 in favor of the affirmative. The judges were Prof. A. T. Abernethy, Mr. Aiex Perry of this place; and Mr. A. M. West of Hickory. Execellent music was furnish ed by Mrs. P. M. Rutherford and Mr. William Hill. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTQRIA When the Great Tribulation Comes Mr. Garth Tells the Bible's Teach- ing of Future Event in History That there is a Golden Age of the world's history yet to come was pointed in a striking sermon Sunday morning by Rev. J. G. Garth at the Presbyterian church, but between this age and that, according to the Scripture, he showed, there is to be the Great Tribulation, of which our Lord spoke in the 24th chapter of ttattbew when he said, "Except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be sayed." Mr. Garth thought that there are dynamic forces of evil now held in check in God's provi dence which are sufficient to usher in this time of trouble. A brief outline of this sermon is as follows: The animating hope of the apostles, of the earlv Church in its ten persecutions and of the Church in all ages has been the promised return of the Lord to the world to reign upon it and over it. The Scriptures show that just preceding this there shall be the Great Tribulation. Human society today has a power within it which if given sway would destroy it. The desperate wickedness of the hu man heart is today ready to go to further lengths of evil than ever before. The world is trying to destroy God's Book today, and yet does not realize that it is on the brink of a smouldering vol cano. The power of some great evil spirit is trying to frustrate the plans and purposes of God. It is Satan's last effort to take this world away from the King dom of Christ. This impending period is the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy. The mystery of iniquity shall continue to work till "that which hindereth be taken away." It is believed this hindering force is the Holy Spirit in the fullness with wnichHe now comes to men. Then the Wicked Man of Sin, spoken of by Paul in Thessalorians shall be revealed, not the Church of Rome but a man absolutely surrendered to Sa tan's service and who will use all the power of modern science and all the influence of modern civili zation to carry out Satan's schemes. Wickedness has al ways been in the world but never the unrestrained sweep of it that will prevail in the time of the Great Tribulation. The modern church will grow in num bers, will have its fine music and beautiful ceremonies but will lack vital godliness as it sweeps into the "falling away" of apos tacy of which Paul speaks. Do you say such things are im possible? The world is growing smaller all the time and great changes are taking place in a little while. The scheme of the Lord seems to be this: Before the tribulation, Christ shall take out of the world those who are faithful Christians and who "love His appearing." The opposite of these, merely nominal, worldly church mem bers, (though the speaker thought possibly regenerated people,) and the Jewish race will be left to go through the horrors of the Great Tribulation. Under the persecutions of the Man of Sin,the Jews will be "a nation born in a day." But the devil will have free course and the world will accept "the mark of the Beast," spoken of in the Revelation. Those who are faithful to God in this time, and there will be many, will have to suffer unheard of persecutions, and doubtless all be martyred. Great Bible teachers think that from the beginning of the fourth to the 19th chapters of the Book of Revelation is a picture of the time of the Great Tribulation,the Church being seen in heaven while the floods of persecution and sin are sweeping the earth. This time shortened purposely —probably seven years—will end in the last great battle of earth, Armageddon, when the Lord Jesus Christ, returning with his saints, from the heavens where they had previously been caught up, shall fight against the army of the anti-Christ, utterly de stroying him and his army. Then shall Christ set up His throne on the earth, the Golden Age will be here and glory and peace prevail over the whole earth. There is then a history, a fu ture for the Church of God. Are we living today with any thought of the time when our Lord shall come back? A practical lesson from this study is to be watchful, for we know not the time when Christ Democrat and Press, Consolidated i 905 Dr. Theron Akin Spent Five Cents For Lemon and Goes to Congress '>& il>- liiirfr" ■sj&Jjp: vRmSST'* w l '-- ,;'y "Doc" Akin is a good soul. He Is honest—so honest that he has won * Opl|ue reputation for giving the most detailed report of campaign expenses that ever elected a man to congress. Theron Akin will represent the Twenty fifth New York district In congress. His home is In Akin, N. Y., near Amster dam. When he finds a railroad official that does not give good service Dr. Akin has been la the habit of lambasting the official over the head. At times he wants to swear at conditions, so he asked permission of his church one day to be permitted to say "damn." He likes to chew tobacco, and all he wants Is a quiet corner in congress where be can chew tobacco and help pass wise laws. He says he will not get "flossy." Dr. Akin was opposed by the bosses for election, but the people love him for his honesty and quaint ways, and tbey gave him a handsome majority. He swore that he spent 5 cents for a lemon, 25 cents for a dinner pail and $1.85 for two yards of garden hose that he might wash his buggy so the voters would think he knew how to keep a dean vehicle. Dr. Akin objects to being called the lemon congress man. He promises he wll> not be a lemon to his followers, but when he gave the Item of 5 cents for a lemon, "used to help clear my voice so I could make a speech," he sealed his own fate. shall return. Let it teach us not to pile up money for our s=lves or to live for ease or pleas ure. "God help us to be faith ful," ssyd the speaker in closing, and to share in the glories of the first resurrection." Reformed Church Notes A large crowd heard the pas tor last Sunday on "Elijah the Tishbite-the man who stands." Next Sunday morning he will speak of an opposite character "The man who runs." The bazaar held Tuesday night of this week was a great success. The attendance was large and every one greatly enjoyed them selves. " The service at six o'clock on Christmas morning which has been held regularly for the last twenty-five years and which has always been greatly enjoyed will be more so this year, as the new church will afford better oppor tunity for rendering the services. Choice anthems have been select ed and the choir is giving atten tion to the practice. An usher's association consist ing or sixteen members has been formed and is doing good work. Regular services next Sunday night Lawyer Abell Explains Alleg ed Contempt. Judge Connor, holding Federal court at Raleigh, created a sen sation Thursday when he issued a summons for Ed. S. Abell, a prominant lawyer of Johnson county, to answer for contempt of court Abell got excused by showing an alleged telegram from Smithfield saying his wife was sick. Investigation showed that no such telegram had been sent over the Western Union. Mr. Abell appeared and said the mes sage he had received was a phone message but as he had been send ing a wire message in answer, he had written his application for an excuse on the same telegraph paper pad. Judge Connor accep ted his explanation. Mr. A. K. Joy has accepted the secretaryship of the Chamber of Commerce till the end of the year. Dr. Nicholson had been doing the work of both president and secreatary but had to give up the latter when he went with Ivey and Hice as secretary and treasurer. Mr. Joy is a practical man of large experience, and is already making some valuable suggestions for the city's wel fare. f The Week in the f J Women's Clubs. J The Wednesday Afternoon Book Club was very delighffully entertained by Mrs. W. B. Men zies on Nov. 30. All members in the city were present except Mrs. E. B. Jones. After roll call quotations and current events, the hostess gave a pleasant half hour reading clippings from news papers and magazines on her book, "The Mistress of Shin stone." To the delight and in terest of all she read a personal letter from its author, Florence L. Barclay, who is an American by birth but has lived in England for many years. In this letter she expressed her love for Amer ica and its people and seemed so happy that her books are so pop ular here. The guests were then invited into the dining room where a most elaborate spread awaited them This was served by Miss Sadie Menzies, assisted by little Miss Janie Menzies and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Ladies of the Episcopal church give their annual bazaar at Mrs. Council's on Dec 13th from three to nine. A salad course with coffee will be served for 25 cents during the hours, and many beautiful articles, con sisting of fancj work, aprons, dolls and homemade candies are to be sold. Eevry one is invited to come.
