THE PINE HURST OUTLOOK.
Kerviees lMHt Sunday.
The morning service at 11 o'clock was
conducted by thi Uev. D. W. Fox of
Pincbhiff, Mini the congregation was a
large one. The Uev. gentleman took for
liistext, Phil. 3, 13, "Beaching forth to
these things that are before."' His open
ing remarks were, "Paul a worker
towards his destiny which lie realized
was planned by God, forgot the past,
anticipated and laid hold of future. By
faith grasped the possibility of a perfect
knowledge of the mystery of godliness.
His aim through all being to be found in
Christ."
After fully explaining the above in a
very able manner, lie concluded with the
following on 'Christian duty." The
christian should lay hold of what has
been revealed, and become perfect in
Christ, by association took him in labor.
The past may be a foundation for
upbuilding, but the christian is to meet
the incoming scenes and move as an
actor, following Cod. Pathways will be
opened as he is able to enter them. The
new century calls for heroic lives, and
lie, who to-day struggles, though he
suffer, will surely gain the victory
to-morrow.
The sermon was a most interesting one
and was highly appreciated. The music
by the choir was very appropriate to the
subject of the sermon and ga ve pleasure
to all. llrs. Foster presided at the piano.
At noon the Bible class was opened
and there was a largely increased attend
ance. It was conducted by the Uev. Mr.
Fox, and was most enjoyable.
The Sunday school under Mr. E. T.
Underbill was also very well attended,
and all present seemed to enjoy these
services.
The new quarterlies were promptly on
hand, and they are just suited to these
services.
The afternoon service (Episcopal) at
3.15 was conducted by Tiev. Mr. Gregory.
Miss Barstow kindly presided at the
piano.
At 7.15 there was the usual prayer and
praise service led by Mr. E. T. Underbill.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable meet
ing, the various speakers, the singing of
the hymns in the good old-fashioned
"simple meeting" way and the hearty
responsive manner in which all joined in
was most interesting, and showed how
popular this simple form of worship is
with the masses of the people. Mr. St.
Clair kindly gave a solo, Mrs. Smith
accompanied. Mrs. Foster played through
the service.

Golf Notes.
The course is now in fine condition,
the putting-greens being in excellent
shape. During the past two weeks extras
were put on for the still better improve
ment. A new practice putting-green
about 25 or 30 yards to the west of the
club house, is now complete.
A new steam roller has been purchased
for the use of the course, and is expected
here in a week or so. This will be of the
greatest benefit to the fair-green, as the
soil is so sandy. The impression of the
roller will make as smooth as a billiard
table.
Tournaments will be held at intervals
during the season, and it is requested of
players wishing to enter in those will
return two certified scores to Mr. Ross
so as that handicaps may be fixed. Dates
on which tournaments are to take place
will be posted in club house two days
prior to each tournament.
During the last twenty years, and
especially in the last decade, the progress
of golf lias been altogether marvellous.
It is certain that no other game ever
spread abroad and acquired universal
popularity so rapidly. The Golfing
Annual of 1899-1900 shows that there are
at the present time in England 761 golf
clubs, including 119 ladies' clubs. Ireland
possesses 111, and Wales 37. Thus from
100 golf clubs in 1889, we have now
reached the large total of 912 for Eng
land, Ireland and Wales, and every year
ees an increase in a number.
In the United States where golf was
first started at New York about the year
1888, there are to-day nearly 1,500
clubs, of which the majority possesses
links of their own. In Australia and
New Zealand there are 63 golf clubs, in
India 31, in France 23, and taking into
account COO or 800 clubs in Scotland,
we shall not be far wrong in estimating
the number spread abroad throughout
the world at considerably over 3,000.
Truly this is a wonderful growth, when
it i3 considered that a score of years ago
there were not out of Scotland more than
five and twenty resorts where golfers
gathered to practice their favorite pas
time.
Next Monday's Entertainment.
The next entertainment by the Pine
hurst Amateur Dramatic Union will be
Negro's Christmas Carol.
By request of many of the guests we
publish this week the following song
which was sang as a Christmas carol by
the colored people at their exercises in
connection with the Christmas tree
which was held in the new freight house
this season. We regret that we cannot
give the music which was weird and
wSi,i cnnh mns ip. sis on v ine nejno
excited to the highest pitch of religious
frenzy can execute.
No Hiding Place.
Young people who delight in sin,
I'll tell you what have lately been
A lady who was young and fair,
Who died In sin and deep despair,
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus There is no hiding place down here,
There is no hiding place down here.
You run to the rock to hide your face,
The rocks cry out "I'm no hiding place!"
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus-
She would go to frolics, dance and play,
In spite of all her friends could say,
"I'll turn to God when I am old,
And then he will receive my soul."
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus-
One Friday morning she took sick,
Her stubhorn heart began to break,
"At last, alas ! my days are spent;
Too late, too late, now to repent."
There Is no hiding place down here.
Chorus-
She called her mother to her bed,
Her eyes were rolling in her head,
"When I am dead remember well
Your only daughter screams in hell."
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus
"Oh, daughter, you must pray,
Perhaps the Lord will hear your prayer,"
"No mother; no use for me to pray;
The Lord lias turned his head away."
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus.
She gnawed her tongue before she died,
She rolled, she groaned, she screamed, she cried ;
"Oh, must 1 burn forever more,
Till thousand, thousand years are o'er."
The is no hiding place down here.
Chorus
"Oil, mother, mother, tell my mates
To turn to God and seek his face;
Upon their knees for mercy cry,
Lest they in sin like Mary die."
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus
"Oh, mother, mother, listen well;
Your only daughter screams in hell!
Oh, don't you hear them hell bells sound?
Oh, give way devils and let me down !"
There is no hiding place down here.
Chorus

Undoubtedly our readers will be
pleased to learn of the musical treats in
store for them at the Carolina Hotel this
coming season.
Mr. Sharp has given mucli pains and
time to the selection of his repertoire
and has succeeded in surrounding him
self with an exceptionally fine set of
players. The orchestra, when complete
will consist of violin, flute, 'cello, clari
net, cornet and piano.
The flutest, Mr. G. B. Van Santvoord,
has for some years past, been one of the
most prominent players on his instru
ment in Boston, lie has been frequently
employed by the Boston Symphony
Orchestra and achieved a wide reputa
tion as brilliant soloist.
Mr. Bobert Fleming, the clarinetist is
a graduate of the Dresden Conservatory,
Germany, consequently a well trained
musician and quite recently could be seen
in one of the first chairs of that splendid
clarinet section, which has always been
the pride of Mr. Sousa's Military Band.
Mr. Biehard Shuebruck is a celebrated
cornetistand lias served his time with
Theo. Thomas and the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, and quite recently was the
solo cornet of Innes Military Band.
The piano playing of Mrs. Sharp,
which was so much admired by our resi
dents last season, the earnest and con
scientious attention which her genial
husband has always manifested in his
preparation of the programmes and his
desire to please his audiences, will no
doubt secure to the residents a class of
musical performances which will be
extremely interesting and a form of
entertainment of winch Pinehurst may
well be proud.
The Philadelphia Post says that Bishop
Lawrence, of Massachusetts, tells this
joke on himself witli keen relish. It was
was at the time when there was a
vacancy in the bishopric, and Dr. Brooks
was the most prominent candidate. Mr.
Lawrence, then Dean of the Theological
School, in Cambridge, was walking with
President Eliot of Harvard University,
and the two were discussing the situa
tion. "Don't you hope Brooks will be
elected?" asked the Dean. "No," said
Dr. Eliot; ua second or third rate man
would do just as well; and we need
Brooks in Boston and Cambridge." Phil
lips Brooks was elected, and a little later
Dr. Eliot and Mr. Lawrence again dis
cussed the matter. "Aren't you glad
Brooks was elected?" queried the Dean.
"Yes, I suppose so," said Dr. Eliot, "if
lie wanted it; but; but to tell the truth,
Lawrence, you were my man."

Teacher What is salt, Thomas; can
you tell me?
Thomas Please, sir, it's what spoils
the potatoes if you don't put it in to boil
with them. Brooklyn Life.
Mr. Otto Katzenstein, manager of the
Pinehurst nurseries, has received this
week a very flattering letter from the
Department of Agriculture at Washing

reputation. Agencies are established in

Austria and Italy as well as Canada, and

these agencies orders are constantly
being received for large quantities of
