ANNUAL SERMON YESTERDAY
By REV. W. B. WERKER.
Larte Congregation Prnt at the
Union Berries at Central Building.
Annual Address Tonight by Mr.
Gnarls T. McKesson, of Morgan
ton, Awarding of Scholarships and
Presentation of Medals and Certi-
A large congregation gathered at
the (Antral school auditoiium yester
day morning, the occasion being the
annual serfmon to the graduating
class by Rev. W. B. Werner, pastor
of Trinity Reformed Church. All
the tongMfaations of the city were
represented in the audience, there
being no morning services at the va
rious down town churches.
The service was opened by a song,
after which Rev. Harold Turner, of
Cential Church, led in prayer.
An anthem, "He That Ooeth Forth
And Wccpeth," was rendered by a
special choir, consisting of Mrs. R.
A. Brewer, Miss Janie Patterson,
Miss Nannie Crowell, Miss Tyner,
Miss May Pemberton, and Messfs. T.
C. Newmann and J. B. Sherrill, with
Mr. R. J Benson at the piano.
Superintendent Webb then present
ed Mr. Werner. Mr. Werner select
ed as his text a pnrt of the tenth
verse of the second chapter of Col
issians, "And Ye Are Complete In
Him." "These words of St. Paul,''
said the speaker were written to the
people of Colossia to show them that
they have everything in the Gospel
of Je.su Christ in order to complete
Christian character. The words teach
the bread and general truth that
man's supernatural being' 6nds com
pleteness in Jesus Christ."
Mr. Werner then took up various
processes through which life must
pass in order to attain a definite and
ultimate end. Everything in man's
life, he said has a relative end. Boy
hood has youth, youth manhood and
manhood age. Take away the pros
pect of man for some ultimate end
and his energies are wasted and his
star of hope sinks in gloom. If
there be no ultimate end to be at
tained the enigma of life is veiled in
darkness and is meaningless. But
the earnest, thoughtful life cannot
stop here. The psalmist tells us
"The days of our years are three
score years and ten, and if by rea
son of strength they be fourscore
years, yet there is strength, labour
and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and
we fly away." This tells the whole
sad story ;f our natural life. But
there is something more than this this.
What comes from the funeral bier of
Ceasar, or the tomb of Napoleon! If
such life ends in assassination or
exile than we would have very little
to hoe for! My friends, there is
very little in monuments for grent
ness in this life. We must turn to
Jesus Christ. We must link our lives
to his life. Do we not from the words,
"and he yo conformed to this world:
be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable and per
fect, will of God." realize that there
is a higher destiny than this life af
fords t Man's life con reach its true
intellectual life can only attain com
pletion by being linked with the life
of Christ and' Daseo on love.
THE MAY FESTIVAL.
First Season Second Concert Concord
Choral Club.
If there is one thing that should re
ceive the unstinted patronage of Con-
curd s best people, it is the work
that the Choral Club is offering to the
public. Generally sneaking it is a
self-sacriBeing work. Gathering to
gether and advertising the musical
talent of our city, the members of
the Choral Club have given their time
and money for rehearsals under the
direction of so capable a master as
Prof. H. J. Zehm. The reward to the
members comes in the results of mus
ical intepretations, and in the joy of
singing. The Club goes further and
offers to the public the results of its
patient and painstaking preparation
for their is joy in the doing of any
thing well.
Not only does the Club offer as a
concert the result of its weeks of re
hearsal, hut it has secured efficient so
loists and a competent orchestra to
assist in the rendition of its second
concert of the season. Verily, it will
he one grand musical festival that
the Choral Club has been instrument
al in giving to the people of Concord.
Certainly, then, the Club wants
your patronage. In this way, and in
tljis way alone can you show your
appreciation of an effort that can
have only the best kind of influence
in the community we all love.
The second concert will be given
tomorrow night, consisting of the ren
dition of "The Rose Maiden." by
Frederic II. Cowen. Messrs. (ieo. II.
Newcombe. tenor, and John W. Fox,
Baritone, of Charlotte, and Miss
Klizahcth Van Poole, of Salisbury,

Notes.
The large and commodious church
building, known as St. Johns Luther
an Church, was packed to its fullest
capacity yesterday morning, and
many more were on t lie outside, long
ing for admission. The ocasion for
this great concourse of people was
the closing service of the 110th an
nual convention of the F.vaugelical
Lutheran Synod of North Carolina,
when five young men, representing a
stalwart manhood, physically, intel
lectually, spiritually, were set apart
to the sacred office of the holv min
istry by the solemn rite of ordina
tion. It was an impressive service
The admonitions of the presiding of
ficer, the clear, earnest responses of
the candidates, in the presence of
such a host of witnesses, touched the
hearts of fathers and mothers, broth
ers, sisters and friends, and of the
fellow ministers who participated in
the solemn service.
The ordination sermon was preach
ed by the Rev. J. L. Morgan, of Ral
eigh, from St. John's gospel, the
fourteenth chapter and twenty-sixth
verse, setting forth the theme: "The
Work of the Holy Spirit." The thrill
ing address was admirably adapted
to the dav, (Whitsunday), to the oe

At the eleven o'clock service, a
sermon was preached by the Rev. A.
O. Voigt. from the text in r.phesiHiis
6:14-18. setting forth most clearly
the elements of an all-round Christ
ian man.
Synod passed a resolution, offered
by Rev. Dr. R. I.. Patterson, suggest
ing to all congregations that, in mak
ing the "every member canvass" for
missions, the subscriptions be made
in one sum instead of dividing- "be
nevolence" into "Home Causes" and
foreign missions. The two-fold sub
scription for benevolence lias been
found unintentionally to discriminate
against home missions.
A livelv contest pver the honor of
entertaining the next convention of
Synod occurred Saturday. rive
churches entered the list. The issue
was finally narrowed to St. Paul's
Church, Rowan county, and Mace
donia Church, Burlington. On the
fourth ballot Burliugton won. Rev.
T. S. Brown, formerly pastor of St.

The Kannapolis Hand merits and

chapter for the fine and inspiring
music so cheerfully furnished bv
them. The chorus by the cloven

preciated as was all the music by
those who contributed so larirelv in

Mr. Morrison Caldwell, alwavs

the request of the chapter to make the
memorial address. And never were
his zeal and ability more nmtifving

the veterans and the rising genera
tion in Ibis dear South of ours. One
f the .oldest d 'staiinchest of the

Ijlter he said: "1 want to see Mr.
Caldwell and t!';:nk him for nut I, Ced

talk."
The following is an outline of Mr.
Caldwell s address :
This dav, 50 years ago, Stonewall

two of our Cabarrus companies) was
shot down four times, and pierced by
thirty-two bullets, it was borne from
the field by Nicholson, a Cabarrus
boy. 1 would paint the great battle
of Chancellorsville. where Capt. John
Pbifer Young (the hoy captain) fell
in the face of a murderous fire that
cut down trees like wheat belore a
reaper, and five thousand sons of the
South gave up their lives as the price

,, the Japanese situation. He said
negotiations had been most friendly
and he is perfectly willing that all
conferences shall be made public

believes there will lie no difficulty

The administration's attitude on the

expecls to make a definite statement
of his attitude on the currency re-
