THE BliEETIi Now Being Successfully j Conducted Here by Dr. Orr| The protracted meetings long antice- j pated. began Sunday morning in the | Piedmont Warehouse by an able sermon j from Dr. W, W. Orr, the evangelist of Charlotte After a song service cover ing selections, av»d the announcement for the week, the Doctor arose, he made a preliminary talk of some min utes, then read his text froni the 27 Chapter and 42 verse of St. Matnews. “He saved others himself he can not save.” We have the statement of three facts (1) He did save others (2) He could not save himself, why? (a) He was the gift sent of the Father (b) His covnant with the Father (c) He bcre our sine (d) He loved men (3) A universal principle If ycu save others* you cannot save yourself. You must feive your self to God and good if you expect to be saved. He gave a number of Incid illustration to illumi nate his text. He suggested a dialogue between two grains of wheat, one selfishly said it would save its self, and remain in a little dark coiner, the other said it would loo§e its self for 'hiumanities sake. It would be sown in | the field, grow and multiply until it could feed thousands, to help make the bone and sinew of men and women, it would make their arms eyes blight and their what ever the stone that lays across your pathway get it out. it is an obstruction to your higher, and better life. A sermon Monday morning, anM night, and each succeeding morning and night during the week will follow. The services are sure to grow in interest ar.d value as the meetings progress.

The I>octor told of a I selfish man, an old bachelor of his ac-! rich and i brothers and sisters al| living, wi h a i vast number of other rejatives and quaintance. He had grown held selfishly everything he had. This man had two sisters, who lived by toiling with their needle, in an humble home. The old bachelor would contri bute nothing to help h*s dependant sis ters, but the time came at last for this old stingy, selfish bachelor to die, and before dying he expressed * the wish to have all of his property in greenback so he might burn it up be fore he went, but it was in land and when he died his sisters shared :n it and lived comfortable. The man who would save his life must loose it. If you expect a home in heaven you must be eyer ready to make sacrifices for your fellowman The man who lived for him self had no hope held out to him for .happfness hereafter. Be Polite —A stranger came into The Dis patch office the other day. lie said he didn’t have «nything to sell and it didn’t make any difference about what his name was, but he had just dropped in to say that we have a dandy good town here and we ought to be proud ot it. Said he: “You’ve got a sociable town, too. I stayed here last night and this morning I walked up the street to the court-house. Between the hotel and the courthouse I met four men that I had never seen in all my life and every one ot them smiled and said “good morning.” It made me feel good clear down to niy toes. Gee, I like a town like this. ’’ And he walked out. It pays to treat strangers hke they are human beings. Try it. It won't cost you a. cent to greet the stranger within our gates with a cheery “Good Morning,” or “Howdy Do.”— Lexington Dispatch. We do not like to tell unpleasant truths about our town, but perhaps an unpleasant truth is better than to silently encourage a wrong impression. It was not long ago that one of our most profound preachers here felt called upon to admonish our people from his pulpit, or some of them at least against that mean habit of not speaking to each other on passing. It had attracted his attention, and he deplored it it, is still' ai; habit, but fortunately it is a habit largely confined to a class of ,individufds, long on conceit self, glorification, and haughty pretentions, but who a^ exceedingly short on the higher and nobjer qualities out of which the world conceeds gentle man, and ladies art made. People with good common sense, and ordinaryly deceit/‘breeding will jptop this thing, the other crowd of sweU headed simpletons will go on to the end of the chapter, they have not sense enough to stop It.

Telegrams from the Balkans indicate a state of affairs that hourly grows more alarming From a mnss a con tradictory rtpo-.ts it may be c na dered esUblished that the losses an.onj Greeks and Servians on the one sidt* and among Bulgarians on the other are much heavier than the published figures indicate The Swiss Red Cross Society has been asked by the Servian Red Cross Society to send doctors and nurses to the front to c.are for the 3,000 wounded which have sent from the Servian lines The Bulgpr'ans have suffered losses equal to if not heavier than their an tagonists and fighting continues. The Servian Legation has received a de.spatch from Premier Pachitch, stating that the Servians captured 2.000 prisoners and 300 guns in the first three days’ fighting at a loss of 6.000 Servians killed or wounded. The Bulgarians suffered even more severe ly 8Md sixty^of their officers were cap tured. 'The arrival of 2,000 wounded at the Serviad capital confirms the story of heavy fighting. LOSS APPEARS HEAVY After 10 days fighting, more severe than anything in ths last Balkan War a little light begins to break upon the obscure operations. The Servians have lost more than in the whole previous campaign, and semi offical statements from Belgrade have the appearance of preparing the public for news of a disaster. Desperate fighting with fluctuating fortunes is proceeding along the Var- dar and Bregalinitz Rivers, apparently to Bulgaria’s advantags. News has been received of the B'jigarian invasion ot Serbia through Belogradchyk. The Bulgarirns clairti. to have defeated the Servians and captured five guns and a quantity of other material, and by the occupation of the passes, to hove open ed the road to Nish, Servia’s most im portant fortified town. There is heavy fighting between the Servians and Bulgarians ] south ot Istip and in the neighborhood of Kotchana. About 200,000 men are engaged and the losses on both sides appear heavy. Bulgaria’s strategy appears to be to hoi i the Greeks in check, probably with comparatively small forces, while she deals with Servia.
