J. E. Abernetary, of Hosroe.-- Pair Sized Cohgregation Was Pres- ,ent And Jir. Absrnethy, aa Hc- qnsnt Orator, Was ' Heard With Marked Interest Song Serrict of 15 Minutes Each Evening, Begin ning at 7:45 O'clock. Rev. J.' E. Abernethy, of Monroe, Opened the series of revival services, whicb. will continue for ten days, at Central Methodist Church last even ing. Preceding the service a 15 min ute song service, beginning at 7:45, was held. A fair sized congregation was present and Mr. Abernethy was heard with marked interest. The Scripture lesson, was from the 15th chapter of St. John and his text the 47th verse of the second cahpter. of Acts, "Praising God and having favor with all people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." There are two beings, said Mr. Ab ernethy, who claim lordship over us. There are two beings who claim su preme place in our thoughts and our activities. They are Christ and Satan. Bo t!a work through hsman agencies. Satan cannot commit crime and de stroy righteousness, except through human agencies. And if the Chris tian Church is ever built up and at tain its proper place it will be through human agencies. We are all under supreme obliga tion to Ohrist. No matter what our states is we are liable for this obli gation. A drunkard in the gutter is under obligation to Christ as well as one of the archangels in heaven. We all are under the same law. The differ ence is that a man out of the kingdom does not recognize the obligation and tf.ie man in the kingdom does recognize Illustrating, Mr. Abernethy told of a farmer who had six sons and was called away and required to leave his home and farm in the care of the boys. Three were busy, upright, industrious sons," who recognized their obligation to tiheir father and to themselves. They planted a crop and worked it. The other three were prodigals. They went about seeking pleasure and liv ing indolent, inactive lives. Finally; however, when the crop was planted and farm work was at' its heightu tilie indolent youths returned, looked over the farm, noted that icertain fields were uncultivated and others not cultivated as they should be. Im mediately they Complained about this to the boys who were working the farm. . Yes," replied the industrious youtlhs, certain fields need working and certain fields are not cultivated at all. They cannot be without your aid and assistance. Three of ns are doing all we can but to 'Ndo the job properly it would take all six. This illustration, Mr. Abernetny de clared, pictured the church at many points. If there are 300 members in Central Church it takes 300 members to do the work of the church. Two hundred and fifty, 275 or even 299 cannot do it.' None but the full num ber can- do what God requires of the Church. Yet in most every dhurch there are few who undertake to carry the work of the church each year; Yet each should do his parti If there are 3,000 church members in Concord it requires 3,000 church members to do the work of the church here. Looking at it from another standpoint, if there are 12.000 people in uoncora it requires 12,000 people to do God's work hereA One of the most foolish men is the man who comes along and save tho church is not working, out as it should when tihat man himself is on the outside. A man on the out side of the church is under just as much obligation to Christ as one who is a member- -If there are 18,000,000, 000 people in tbe worloMt takes 18,- 000.000.000 to do God's worn nere, , ' And "the Lord added to the church AaWv snch as should be saved," Mr. Abernethy quoted front the last half of his text. Ttbi8 means, he said tnat the members were added by .the Lord, not bv the catechism and they .were added as a result of a miraculous, su nnrnatural work. No one comes into the kingdomDy naptism ana no one comes by the Lord's supper. These are all rignt: ne auaea, ana uuum m properly observed but man comes into the kingdom by the Lord.'

It was anticipated that the Am- ' bassador would shed further light on the attitude of the German govern- -ment regarding American ' demands in the submarine controversy. Mr. Gerard is understood to have already reported that strong political influences are at work in Germany to prevent a rupture. Labor leaders and . socialists were represented as be ing particularly adverse to a sever-' ance of diplomatic relations. , The Ambassador is said also to have re ported that there were strong indi cations of Germany's willingness to make concessions. Whether these eon-' cessions will be broad enough to meet the American demand is problemati-1 cal. -, i The fact that the Ambassador and Chancellor conferred at some length is pointed to here as a hopeful sign.
