The Methodist Centenary movement is launched in the southern church next Sunday, May 18th, to raise $35, ,.rvA nnn -fnv thp expansion of tho UUUjUvw - x church in the fields of missions and nrimarilv to give a deeper spiritual life to the rank and file of Methodism In this great move in Warren coun ty, the Warren charge under Rev. C. A. Jones and Mr. J. B. Davis, with the active assistance of laymen and local f-Woh officials, stands ready. The Warrenton charge under Rev. J. T. Gibbs and W. Brodie Jones, due to the efficient work of the local church au thorities, is also ready to launch its great campaign. The two charge are to raise over $20,000 in the five years. The various amts. have been annoitioned to each church and a working basis established which, every indication points, promises suc cess. The drive will raise the largest sum erer undertaken by any denomination, $35,000,000 to be pledged next week and payed in five equal installments during the coming five years. The Northern church and Canada deeply interested in this campaign have al ready floated their drive amount f .$80,000,000. The purpose of county church of ficials and drive heads is to oversub scribe the amount assigned to their respective churches in the Sunday af ternoon interview which will . be af forded every Methodist between the hours of three and six o'clock, if pos sible. Members of the denomination are asked to remain at home Sunday afternoon until interviewed or until six o'clock. This needed co-operation will facilitate the work of the team captains. The entire spirit of the campaign is for voluntary contribution" by the individual church member prompted by a realization of the great need of christianizing influence in the world today. The following "Summons to all Methodists to Attend Church Sunday. May 18, 1919" on behalf of the Bishops, by the Senior Bishop, E. R. Hendrix, strikes the keynote of the Methodist's world campaign. In line with its suggestion a church meeting will be held here Sunday morning at 11; at Warren Plains following Sun day School; at , Hebron, following church services and at Macon follow ing Sunday School. It is presumsd that a similar program will be fol lowed on the Warren charge Bishop Hendrix's letter: "The hour has come God's hour and man's hour. Other churches are also planning to observe this hour but n a smaller scale, but the world is challenged to observance of Metho dism which at once celebrates a hun dred years of organized missionary effort and the close of the world's war. Before peace was planned we were Preparing to share in the campaign to follow the great war by a worthy campaign with Christ as our Leader to extend his kingdom throughout a sorrowing world. It was to be a campaign of Thanksgiving, of Conse cration, of Reenf orcement, of Recon struction. It implied the following up Lhe plowshare of war with the seed basket and sickle of peace. Every mission field at home and abroad ! made its askings in the light at once ? ts needs and its opportunities. With the New Testament now in six hundred languages we feel that die me is ripe for our church to send out ve hundred additional missionaries in e next five years. What heroes thfiy follow, fit though few, in the peat mission fields which have been Pionneered.

"We are summoned under a new sense of the unlimited resources o Christ who declares afresh, "All pow er is given unto me in heaven and in earth." His resources are ours if we seek them. We dare not' look alone to our own resources which God has puu i- to our hands until the wealth of the wcrld is in Christian lands. "He giveth thee the power to get wealth." But it is the spiritual resources hid in Christ that we most heed. " Happy the result of the wcrrlcl irar that"hasgIVen us a deeper knowledge of the resour ces in Christ, the riches of His com passion of his patience and His grace, until the bleeding world calls out our compassion as did Jerusalem when our Lord wept over it. The world's greatest need today is the necessary Christ and those who know him and his resources. While the world is moved by those who have made the supreme sacrifice during the greatest war m human history let all men know Who made the supreme sacrifice for all men. "It was on the eve of passion week as our .Liora s Hie was closing tnai Jesus sat down over against the treasury.' He was observing with loving solicitude men in their relation tc- their property. His eye rested upon the widow, possibly the victim of the rich who devoured widow's houses, yet she cast in her all, being measured in the sight of her Lord not by what she gave but what she had left. It was then 'our Lord took the widow's mite and placed in in his crown.' He still sits over against the treasury and as the multitudes are casting in their gifts into the treasury and these gifts will be tests of our gratitude and our faith. None will be too large to measure fully our grat itude, or too small to escape his notice as a tribute'from a grateful heart, it is the habit and motive of giving that will be most pleasing unto Christ. " 'Take and give for me and thee was what our Lord said in directing he gift of a bodyguard apostle. Our gifts may even be vicarious as His sugerings were. If we give with the internal mind and heart we hasten the gathering in of the world harvest. The world is watchfng while we give, and many who have not yet owned Him as their Lord will join in our giv ing if it is worthy. Let it be Scrip ture measure, pressed .down, shaken together, running over, and so our promised offering of Thirty-Five Mil lions will grow to Fifty Millions."

The cake making demonstration was exceedingly interesting and instruc tive. Economical Golden Cake, and "Angel's Food" were compounded be fore the large audience of interested women, and the baking was done then and there upon a. nlw Perfection oil stove. The icing was made and a part put back on the stove to thicken so as to ornament the cake which was done by using an ordinary cornacopae I of letter paper. The icing was beautiful and the ornamentation quite artistic. iolormg .-"matter "Was T green " and "pfnlc icing and a graceful wreath of pink sweet peas adorned the cake. A pink rose with rosebud and leaves was made separately to demonstrate that any flower could be chosen according to the taste of the cake maker. The cakes were cut and eaten and declar ed to be delicious. Mrs. Connell and Mrs. Nathan Palmer, the Presiding officer and Secretary and Treasurer, were interested helpers at the demon stration. Miss Rankin is not only very effic ient in her department, but exceeding ly pleasant ready -to. answer the numerous questions asked her. We were glad to welcome visitors visitors from the country and hope they will continue to come and induce others to do so. Many showed their appreciation of the good work being done by Miss Rankin by joining this department which now has thirty members. AN INTERESTED VISITOR.

It was possible to put so little time in prepration for commencement this year trial not mucn oi a program could be expected. All were very agreeably surprised, however, for the exercises were as good as usual, if not -better. - VArtf A f preached on Sunday, May 4th by Dr. T. E. Cochran, of Wake Forest Col lege, who took for his text the famil iar "He grew in -wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man." Dr. Cochran impressed his hearers with the .fact that an educa tion no longer consists in the acquis- tion of the three Rs, but in the per feet development of the three H's Head and Hand and Heart: He en ceavored : to show that opportunities T for success , in life can be found any J where-and everywhere; that all de pends on the person and not upon his enviroment. He illustrated this point by using several stories taken from Dr. Russell Conwell's famous lecture, "Acres of Diamonds." The musical given on Monday even ing, May. 5th by the pupils of Miss Bunn was exceptionally good, all showjng much improvement over their previous performances. Especially noteworthy was the playing of Miss Agnes Paschall, Miss Lucy Tucker and Miss Lucy Perkinson. The little operetta "A Day in Flowerdom" was especially pretty and graceful and gave variety to the program. The graduation exercises on Tues day evening was unique and a depart ure from the usual order. The funeral of the class of 1919 was elaborate and impressive. 7 The members of the class are Miss Miss Zela Newman, Miss Estelle Isles, fMisSi yi&l P4?JanaoiaA-M:Stur- gis Collins. ,Mr. Collins deserves , es pecial mention from the fact that he has worked as night operator at Pas chall all during the session, showing how earnestly he desired an educa tion. All of the class expects to pur sue their studies further and prepare themselves for greater usefulness. Last and. best of all was the ad dress of Dr. Poteat, President of Wake Forest. It is to be regretted that it was so late when he began speaking, because he naturally felt that everyone was getting tired. He began by waking his audience and put ting it in a thoroughly good humor by telling two or three exceedingly fun ny stories. None who heard it will soon forget the story of the darKy who got mad when - asked was her "pogram" full. After getting every body aroused, Dr. Poteat became more serious and spoke for a few minutes on "Democracy." The speaker ap pears to have all the attributes oi . genuine democrat himself. He said that democracy was both a spirit and a view, that many had the view but few the spirit. He warned his hear ers of the great peril to democracy of socialism and anarchy and said some fine things about the two safe guards against these perils, religion and ed ucation. He spoke of North Carolina's promising future and insisted that its greatest crop was not cotton nor to bacco, but its thousands of beautiful children born of the native stock. For the second time recently w have had brought to our attention the fact that North Carolina stands next to the bot tom of all the states in the matter of educating its children. Mississippi stands at the very bottom, North Car olina comes next. It seems that the time has come when instead of trying to evade this matter, every person who lives in this state should look it squarely in the face, get thoroughly ashamed of it and then do something to remove the disgraceful stigma. We can no longer plead poverty as an excuse. Let us spend our ever in creasing wealth where it is most need edUpon Our Schools. : Dr. Poteat, we ward: you to come again and that very soon.

REFLECTIONS FROM MIR ROR LOOKS BRIGHT TO U.S. Business Conditions To Be Good For Long Period Is Opinion of Economic Expert; Optimism Indeed. Justified By Facts. (By Edward D. Jones If we could only look in our mirrors and see ourselves' as we really are we would be compelled' to laugh much against our will. We are truly a fun ny bunch. We worry ourselves over what hever happened, and at certain stages in the game are more afraid of our shadows than the average woman is supposed to fear a mouse. Think of the feelings of thousands of people who pitched over their stocks at panic prices during the war "scares" and who are tempted almost beyond what they are able to kick themselves. No wonder they groan when they see cur rent prices for the stocks they once had, but disposed of in panic. This morning, when we read about the Victory Note results, each of us is probably a bit asBamed of himself, for we were not eroincr to buv anv r f more ebligations of Uncle Sam and have them go down four or five points after we bought them. We had all done .our bit with the Liberty issues and that was enough let the banka finance the Government. Yet we all bought the Victories. That knowing looking the mirror would reveal that the laugh was on us. We rage and fume oyer politics and threaten all sorts of dire things, but dear old common sense has come to our rescue so far, and although it makes us look ridiculous in that , re- Vfealing mirror, it saves us and has been.ixur -perletent -lafid insistent saviour for the 143 years, of our ex istence. Here we are the richest and most powerful nation in the world, yet the youngest. After all, most of us never do grow up. We act all through our lives like children, doing all sorts of foolish, even idiotic things, but come out all right mythe end. Any man who is willing to look back at the fool things he did between 12 and 25 years of age will be inclined to wonder that he is alive, or possessed of any of this world's goods. There could be no better illustra tion oi wnat tools we make of our selves than our attitude a few week3 ago toward Victory Notes, compared with what we have seen accomplished. Just now we are figuring on what we will and will not do as to a League of Nations and in our trade relations with the world under the new condi tions which are unprecedently in our avor. Very likely we shall do a great many of foolish things in the process, bu the big results will come to us just as they always have. There- tore, wnen we iook in tne mirror a few years hence, although we shall bave to laugh at what is revealed, we shall take pride in the results. As time heals all sorrows, so that same time mercifully bring to us forgetful ness of our blunders. A Big Text For Every Business Man One of the city newspapers conclud ed an editorial on the United States 'eeding the world with these words: "When prices fall it will be because abundance has overtaken famine and subdued it, and that is not yet." In those few words is the real text br every talk on general business, for in it is that old axiomatic law of sup ply and demand which never has been and never will be repealed, no matter hat the orists may write, or the bus iness men of the world do. So long as demand is greater than supply, so long will business be good, and the greater the-jdemand the better th business. The world never was in need of so many things as it is today and somebody must supply them. There may be problems of how ,the needy will pay, but these can always be solved and generally in a satisfac- ory way. When a man must havo something -he is spurred to supreme effort to get it and to pay for it. Business is, after all, a good deal ike an auction. When there is some article that several people want ta; price goes up, bid by bid, so com modities of all kinds with men of (Continued On Fourth-Page)
