conscientious man and would not
make war on property and individu

The People Responsible.
Governor Jarvis said he was not
talking about state politics, for he
knew nothing about the situation at

for Aycock for senator.
The greenville gentleman asked
the reporter if he saw Mr. DaviB hold

CLOSE TOHiGHT
Last of Series of Services At
the First Baptist
Church
The series of meetings at the
First Baptist church, conducted by
Itev. Dr. -George . McDaniel, will
come to a close tonight. The inter
est in the meetings has continued
throughout.
The afternoon service yesterday
was well attended and a large audi
ence was present for the evening
service. After the sermon at the
evening service there were eleven
who presented themslves as candi
dates for baptism. Such results are
great evidences that the work of
God Is going on successfully and it
Is to be regretted that -today is
the last day of the series. The ser
vices will be as usual, the after
noon service being at four o'clock
and the evening service at half pust
even.
The sermon nt last tjvenliig's ser
vice was' from a triple text, coming
from the 'fifth chapter of -Mark, the
seventh chapter of I.uke, and the
eleventh chapter of John.
Sin Is the most terrible fact in the
universe- of God. Death is tho most
certain. By one man sin entered
the vvorld and death entered by sin.
Jesus never saw any body die and
all the funerals at which he was
present Ho broke up. lie was pres
ent ou three funeral occasions, that
of Jalrus' daughter, that of the
widow's sons and that of Lazarus.
There are three propositions In
regard to sinners and their salva
tion and they are first, that there Is
a difference In the state of sinners,
Becond, that there is b difference In
L'je means of God's restoration, and
jjird that there Is a tutterence in
Tjelr experience afterwards. The
daughter of Jalrus represents young
sinners from eight to fifteen who
have not been In unconscious sin
long. They have just died as had
the little girl when Jesus came and
brought her to life.
The widow's son had been dead
longer than the little girl. He was
on the way to the cemetery. He
represents the sinners from fifteen
to thirty yeurg of age.- God pity
