GREAT SERVICES TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
"The Biggest Fool In Warren
County" and "What Will Man
of Twentieth Century Do With
Christ" Subjects Discussed.
One hundred and seventy-five War
ren ladies aftei a sermon of force
upon the "Wonderful Power of a
Woman's Influence" reconsecrated
their lives to Christ in the impressive
mass meeung icr women at the Court
House Tuesday afternoon. Dr.
Price gave the invitation after ex
haustively impressing the power of
woman's personality and the respon
sibility to use that force for the uplift
and eternal welfare of the world. The
response was an assumption of that
responsibility. .
On Tuesday night the evangelist
under the subject: "The Biggest Foci
In Warren County" masterly present
ed! in allegory, later clinched by per
sonal application, the thought that
he was a fool who refused to use
God -given power in resistance to evil
influences which preyed continuously
upon the vacillatingly conscience of
one who refused to say "No" strong.
Taking as his eneral theme David's
exclamation over Abner's body
"Thou died as a fool dieth!" he show
ed that this able general of biblical
fame, after reaching thru trial the
very gates of the City of Refuge, feil
because he failed to defend himself.
This fallacy proved fatal and even so
in this day we.s that policy - of the
christian who failed to eternally
stand for God and right. The power
of resistance to evil must be exercised
vigorously for a soldier of the Cross
to reach the Eternal City of Refuge
was the direct thought presented.
"What Will The Man of the Twen
tieth Century Do With Christ?" ap
pealed to an audience which , filled all
available" 'space hi "the Court . room
Wednesday niglit. With a setting in
the story of Christ before Pontiub
Pilot to have the sentence confirmed
for his crucifictionand the desire of
Pilot to avoid the issue and yield to
the crowd was pointed out as a human
frailty distinctively natural. Bring
ing the lesson to the present day he
put the question "What will you do
with Christ?" the matter must be
decided by every individual: there is
ro middfle ground. He presented the
thought that any man could follow
the crowd, could drift with the rive
of public approval and play politics
upon public fancy, but that it took
cbaracter to stand for the right and
for this character he plead. Dr.
Price expressed gladness ' that tne
church was getting away from de
nominationalism in its extremes and
recognizing the fundamentally impor
tsnt truth: service to Christ in the
daily walks of life. Citations from
the annals of history and excerpts
from men whom Time has called great
were introduced as examples of chris
tian faith as opposed to the skepticism
which beclouds some men. The evan
gelist discussed the deity of Christ
as manifest by his works, his teach
ings and the results! growing from
both as they have come down thru the
ages and again quoted from great
minds all thru history to substantiate
this divinity. The sermon wasthe work
of a logician an a powerful stimulus
to all whose hope waivers because
their faith can't lay hold upon God.
The music under Mr. J. Dale Stentz
for the service was appropriate and
appealing in its rendition Mr. Stentz
throwing the big sunny nature of tho
man in the song service brings a fer
vor and deeper meaning to the music
which is a wonderful part of the meet
ing. - .
The meeting will continue through
Sunday night with the following sub
jects announced:
Friday, 11 o'clock "Lot, The Back
slidden Farmer." .
Friday, 7:30 "The Biggest Ques
tion Man Ever Faced."
Saturday, 7:30 "Three Days In A

Sin."

North-
cliffeOri Labor
Lrrd Northcliff e, tho proprietor of
100 daily-, weekly and! monthly publi-
cations, including four great daily
papers in London, gave an interview
to the editor of the Wall Street Jour-
nal. The nob'e lord talks like a Wall
Street man, or one of our shrewd Naw
England born merchants. He claims
to be one of the 20 largest employers
of labor in the world.
Hero re seme of his mo3t salient
comments:
We shall have more labor difficulty
if there is increase in the C03t of liv
ing, and if the employers do not ad
vance wages up to the same percen
tage as the cost of enhanced prices for
food, clothing, rent, and transport.
"It is quite easy for an Englishman
to talk about the efficiency of organ
ized labor and collective bargaining.
We have to deal with sane peop.e,
English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh. Wo
-no nueer ; European continental
folk and other of. the strange human
nimal3 who have been very useful in
your mines and in building your trans
continental roads, but are a hell of a
nuisance when it comes to times of
trouble.
"Arriving from countries in which
the word freedom is unknown, the full
bellies and pockets with which yov
suddenly provide them have the nat
ural effect of swelling their heads, and
they become arrogant and eventually
dangerous.
"Any attempt at your ''njunction bus
iness applied to our labor here would
have brought about a revolution. I
should not like to see it tried in Scot
land, for example! Yet I expect,
though I do not know, that Mr. Palmer
iDay have known his business in apply
ing it to your alien labor.
"As regards Britain's industrial fu
ture, all sorts of people are trying to
frighten us with bogies of foreign
competition. We must be watchful of
cheap labor. But I do not believe, for
instance, that the Japanese, in whose
country the price of rice has increased
500 per cent during the war and wages
only 150 per cent, are going to stop
agitation indefinitely at the mere word
of the Mikardo, which is what they do
at present. Shrewd Japanese tell me
that dear rice and sixteen hours a day
are not a combination that will last
there.
"I dare say that the American, Scan
dinavian, Japanese and other compe
tition in shipping will be troublesome.
"I do not think that you will have
any more chance of competing with us
at sea than we have in competing with
you in the erection of skyscrapers and
in the number of achievements of
American mechanical genius which it
is not necessary to enumerate. .
"A people like ours, backed up by
practically every single raw materi!
the world contains except I under
stand potash, which seems on of your
weaknesses, too, have every reason for
the silent confidence they feel in the
future. We have a wasteful Govern
ment entrenched behind more office
frolders than we have ever before ad
in Great Britain. But as a st-off we

AND WAR REN COUNTY
From
Mr. Mornaday
Editor Warren Record,
Warrenton, N. C.
Dear Sir:
If you supposed you were-to be
troubled no more with communica
tions 4rom me you see you weremis-
itakegThe visits of the Record keep
me in touch with that splendid section,
and- make me want to see and talk
with the dear friends so well rremem-
bered and so sincerely loved.
t Dr. J. T. Gibbs' report, submitted to
the Wilson Conference, very clearly
indicated that the Methodist people
within the bound's of the Warrenton
Circuit were fully sustaining the rep
utation they have so long enjoyed for
lars, over and above all nnancial ap
portionments to them for all pur
poses, as a freewill offering to the
Raleigh Orphanage by that little band
of workers at Warren Plains was sim
ply a strperh Jfe!6 '.JS10; pastor; v'of
that charge I -said -1 had never known
a more heroic band than the Methodist
of Warren Plains and I here and now
reaffrm it.
The jiews of the passing from this
to the other life of Dr. Perry and Mr.
Rodwell of Macon brought sadness to
my heart. Just one brief year ago I
left them in their usual health, never
for one moment thinking that I was
to see them no more in this . world.
When earthly friends and kindred
leave us for their final home it makes
the Christian's hope more precious.
It causes us to look forward to that
life that is to be forever free from
changes that sadden the heart, and
forever filled with joy and holy peace.
Information : that our good friend,
Jim Roberson, of Hebron, had been in
a hospital in Richmond for treatment,
was also sad news to us. We sincerely
trust he has been restored to his usual
health before this. Speaking of Mr.
Roberson brings to mind quite a num
ber of dear friends of Hebron Church,
too numerous to mention by name,
but who will never be forgotten. It
was a great pleasure to us to see
Miss Sue Roberson at the WilsortCon
f erence, and hear from her news
from that plendid church.
Of course the Warrenton Church
contributed its full share toward mak-
ing that. splendid report carried up to
Conference by Dr. Gibbs possible.
That church never fails.
Wish I could be there during the
union meeting conducted by Evange
list Price. It was a source of disap
pointment ; to me that we could not
hold evangelistic services in that
church while I was its pastor. The
results of the Price meetings will very
probably be known before this is pub
lished. I sincerely trust they may be
gracious.
I am glad to say to my friends that
mv imnrovement continues, and I no
'lcneer have to use crutches when 1
walk. I do use my cain, but I can
walk very well without even that. I
am doing some pastoral' visiting now,
jand it seems good to be able to do
such work. My people are very kind
to me, and do very little complaining.
With all good wishes for your suc
cess and happiness, Mr. Editor, and
with highest regards to all the dear
friends "of Warren, I am
Sincerely,
J. A. HORNADAY.
Inefficiency is a by-product, of prosperity.
