ABERNETEY -XT, YES TERDAY MORNING SERVICE Largest Congregation That Has Yet Attended the Masting Waa Present. Announcement Made That the Services Would Continue Until'Wednesday. Tht Pive Laws of Character Were Defined and Mr. Abernethy'i Discourse This Even ing Will Be "How a Band of Des peradoes waa ConnTiered." Much Interest Manifested. At the morning service at Central Church yesterday morning Mr. Moores announced that the meeting would meeting cfintinue until Wednesday, provided no announcement to the contrary was made in the meantime. Mr. Abernethy also prefaced his sermon by making several announce ments, among wmcn were mat tms evening he would preach on the con version of a band of desperadoes, which he termed one of the most thrilling scenes of his life. He also announced the plan by which the meeting should continue stating that as followers of the Lord should each dedicate his life and try to save some individual. A list of names should be prepared and that those people the chuaoh should save should be talked to and invited to at tend the meeting. Prayer should also be another method the church should use in trying to save the peo ple it is responsible for. This church, he concluded, can have a meeting if it is willing to pay the price. "The Laws of Character" was the subject of his sermon and his text was the eighth verse of the fourth chapter of Phillipians, "Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatso ever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." The power of thought, said Mr. Ab ernethy, is God's greatest ift to. man. The powers of speech and hearing are tnanscendantly wonderful but far above them and rising in imperial majesty is the power of thought. The universe, continued Mr. Aber nethy, is the expression of the thought of our saviour. Its thousands of ravs fof light chasing away the rays of darkness; its. ten thousand times ten thousand worlds and other great agen cies that may up the universe, he de nned as results of the thoughts of our creator. . - The power of thought, he also declared, made man a creator. A poem and an. invention are expres sions of thought. And so. a man may be elevated by his thoughts until his spirit rises with that of the angels or he may think evil thoughts until he reaches the degrading plane of the brute. ' He drow an. eloquent picture of the power and breadth of thought upon an intellect, declaring that in the world of thought a man s mind could draw within it great art galleries and the productions of the masters; the great poems and great musical pro ductions. We may draw unto our own heart and enjoy the best of the gen ius of man and of God.' He then defined five laws of charac ter: As we think we are. As we are we see. , As we see we enjoy. As we enjoy we live. As we live here we live always. Quoting from Solomon, "As a man thinketli so he is," Mr. Abernethy declared that the greatest charge the author of the verse ever t-hrought against Israel was "That my people .do not think." He then spoke of Sir Isaao Newton, as a prince of scholars and of men, who When asked what the greatest need was, declared think ing; the second greatest, thinking, and the third, thinking. ' Let the worse man thank honest, just, pure, honor able thoughts and it will raise his purposes and change his conduct. Let the best man think had thoughts and the-blush of character and manhood will 'leave him. The moral wrecks, the; religious Wrecks are due, Mr. Abernethy declared, to the fact that they dp not think. f , 1 ; Answering the allegation that re ligion ii narrow, Mr. Abernethy drew from nis text and declared with strik ing, force that religion was as broad as justice; as broad 'as honesty, as broad as purity fas broad as the beau, tiful. A man may go as far as it is just to go; as far as it is honest to go; as far as it is virtuous to go.; Is there a gentleman or a ' lady who wishes to go farther! Referring to the effect of thought upon the forms of entertainment one indulged in, Mr. Abernethy declared that if you par ticipate in ragtime entertainment you will nave ragtime thoughts. ' ; Speaking of the second law of char. acterj Ai we are we see, Mr. Aber nethy based it upon the' beatitude, blessed are the pure in (heart for they shall see God,'' and, he continued, to come 'into 'jsroper relation with the spiritual it Vrmst be done through thu medium. I'e rpoke of natures .that are apprseL,!. of the iil-al, the MEETING AT METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH. 1 Both -8ervloM Wall Attended. Mr. - Bethea Preaches Practical Gospel Sermons. ' The meeting which began yesterday at the Methodist. Protestant Church waa well attended at both services, the seating capacity of the church be ing taxed at the evening service as the auditorium was filled before time for the sen-ice to begin. At both sen-ices the preaching was done by . Rev. N Q. Bethea, who preached practical, gospel sermons. At the morning ser vice a song service which lasted about forty minutes was conducted by Mr. Pender who has the singing in charge. The choir is composed of about forty! voices ana nnuer me direction 01 mt. Pende the singing is a very enjoy able part of the sen-ice. . At the evening serviee a jiinior choir was organised which is compos ed of children between the ages of six and twelve years. A meeting will be held every afternoon at three o'clock, and the song service will be-' gin promptly at 7:30 o'clock.

GOLDSBORO NEGRO , ATTACKS WHITE MAN Clarence Smith, Young Fanner, Lies In Hospital With Hole in Head. Goldsboro, April 29. Should a posse searching for Henry Exum, a negro, who late this afternoon struck what is considered- a fatal blow with a lead pipe upon the head of Clar ence Smith, a young farmer of this county, not expected to live, it is said, but a few hours, be captured, Exum might meet a tragic fate, it is reported. How the fight originated cannot be learned at 10 o'clock to night. Sheriff R. H. Edwards reached the scene a short time after the trouble occurred. Upon learning that the fugitive had escaped, he rushed young Smith to this city and placed him in a hospital, where physicians are endeavoring to save his life. He has a gaping hole in his head at the base of the brain, and a report from the hospital says he has a slim chnnce to live till morning. The trouble occurred at Boston, a signal . flag station on the Norfolk Southern Railroad, between this city and I.aGrange. Mr. H. M, UmbergW, of "Pocahon tas, Va., has accepted a position with his brother, Mr. B. L. Umberger. Mr. L'mberger has arrived and his family will arrive later. poetic, the artistic, declaring that to them there wag full, wonderful mean ing to a poem of Milton or Dante; a musical composition of a Mendelsshon or a Mozart or the painting of a mas ter. If a person has not the proper spirit the story of the life of Jesus means nothing to him. And the church to such a person is just a little preaching, just a little music, just a little Sunday school, just a little Ep worth League. On the other hand if a man has the right spirit it carries him far beyond this life up into the regions where the soul communes with God a place of peace where man's soul finds rest. Speaking of the third law of char acter, As we see we enjoy, Mr. Aber nethy declared that a student did not appreciate a classic until he was able to know and 'understand that class.c. great painting is not appreciated until after we understand the fine qualities it presents. And so it is with other talents, they, must be known and as we know them that is the way we will be. That is why the Savious said, "Cast not your pears before swine." Concluding with this law, Mr. Abernethy said that as long as a man stands out in the shadows of sin and, unbelief, the question will remain an intricate one, but let him come out and see the truth and the truth shall make him free. As we enjoy we live, was the fourth law of character Mr. Abernethy pre sented. A life without joy, a life without peace, a life without happi ness is not a life it is ah existence. God made the world to be happy and in order to have a happy life we must have the approval of God. A wicked man cannot he happy,' neither can a condemned man. Neither can a con demned soul be happy.'. In order to be happy a soul, must be ih"harmony AS we live here we will live always, was the final law Mr. Abernethy pre. Rented and he used it as a brilliant conclusion to a masterful discourse, exhorting bis hearers to -endeavor not to desire to make life long rather than right and impressing upon the thought that if we think of things that are beautiful here, life will be beautiful; think of things, that are just and life will he just and to think of God and life will be happy. .. Mr. Abernethy will preach tonight at 8 o 'clock on " The v Jtemarkable Conversion of a Band of Desperadoes,"-and tomorrow - morning on "The Falls ef Niagara and the Niag ara of Sin." Last night Mr. Abernethy . was rreeted by a congregation that taxed the seating capacity of the church, in cluding the Sunday school room and gallery 'and estimated by observers as even iarger than the morning; con eretration.' His subject waa "Etern ity" and he a?ain delivered an elo quent i4r:ive &' "mee, RISH LEADERS GIVE UP.LOKDOHREPORTS 400 MEN SURRENDERED IN A BODY YESTERDAY. SH SI 1GTITE.
