Some people have to get a dose of new
religion every time there is a "big"
meeting in their midst. The actual
results will be seen when the number
of additions to tha several churches of
Charlotte la reported.
While Sunday had tha crowds and
doubtless great good was done reports
state that the revival did not grip
Charlotte aa it should have and at a
business maa% masting jmt a few
days ago Fred Bapp, businsss mana

"while there had bam wonderftU
crowds at all tha services thai* was

; This might have heaa overcome on the
' last days of the meeting. Mr. Bapp
I farther said te his talk that "the

And mow, Mr. Spakrr and pntlmm
of the Houw let me nujffvst a simple
plan ta enable every American p«
tlanmn^ fmrt a turw»tt solution of

rail ia almost holy voiced, that each
one of t» shall remasaber the sacred
pledge we rave to oar soldier hoy*
whan they ware departing for the war.
How vividly thee* departing scenes
come hack to me. In every village,
town, and nty in all the land multi
tude* assembled at the railroad sta
tion to say good-hy to the koj» who
mn* of war. Again my heart ia bast
ing1 responsive to th« pulsing of tha
hearts of sweethearts ia lingering last
■•mbrace. Again ia ajr KXU in agony
at witneas of the sorrow tear* and
•otto* Uaaa upon the faeaa of moth
ers who war* giving that r own flaah
and blood a willing offering upon tha
altar of their country. Again I hear
the tmablmg voice* of the aged
■ peaking a farewell blessing upon the
loved hoy* of their own lineage. A
warning whistle blast is heard. R ia
the signal that in five minute* the
train moat more. The mayor of tha
village or city raises bis hand for si
lence. He either personally speaks
or introduces soma eremiamt ettiaon
tfi speak. b> the nanlfWif! the peo
sle. a f*rsa! Rv-rycipaJ 4'swS t« the
ileparting bojrs. My sympathy flow*
freely toward the big. strong man who
is trying so bard to be aa outwardly
cheerful aa he is inwardly sorrowful.
At times his words are in choking ac
cent. but be straggles bravely, and in
the final atoment before departure of
the train he calls upon tha multitude
of rftisen* to witness and approve the
r>romiae and the pledre ha is about to
make to the boy*. In the name and
tn the behalf of my own home folks
I spoke that same nledge to the boys,
nd it is reasonable to presume that
each Member of this House, becauae
of his prominence in hi* own home
city or town, voiced a like pledge to
the magnificent lads. his community
was giving to their country. Da you
not remember the pledge we gave to
the boys on sorb occasions? Theee
were the words: "Good-by. boys, and
God bless you! Out' prayers win be
with you. and when you shall come
home again nothing that the boms
folks can do win be too good for you."
May a righteous God burn the words
of that pledge upon all our hearts.
For ray part, that pledge was given In
good faith, and may God help me to
be faithful to my pledge! (Applause.)
