THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
Rev. L. Gill Preaches Powerful Sermon
at Second Presbyterian Church.
On Tuesday night the seating capac
ity of the Second Presbyterian Church
was taxed to its limit by the Crowd that
turned out to hear Rev. Leonard Gill in
his presentation of the subject of the
“l’ni>ardonable Sin."
Mr. Gill made a soul-stirring impas
sioned appeal to the unsaved, and near
ly every one in the audience who was
not a professing Christian manifested a
desire to become a follower "of Christ.
Taking as his text Matthew# 12:32
‘•Whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Ghost it shall not be forgiven him." Mr.
Gill said in pars:
"There is a point beyond which u mau
goes he commits the unpardonable sin.
‘There is a sin auto death that a man
may not be forgiven.’ Three questions
we will consider: First, what is the un
pardonable sin'; Second, have I com
mitted it'; Third, how can 1 know if 1
have committed it'; All sins are hateful
and heinous in God's sight, laziness, con
ceit. profanity. ' drunkenness, adultery,
gambling, stealing, slandering, murder.
Yet tile blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse
from all these sins if the sinner repent
and turn away from them. But there
is one sin that the blood of
cleanse, and that is the continual and
repented rejection of Jesus Christ. God
says: 'My Spirit will not always strive
with man.’ The unpardonable sin is
saying no to God for the last time, and.
His spirit will leave you never to re
turn. The heart that repeatedly rejects
Christ, and slights the many djmiortunl-.
ties to confess Rim before men ©ltj'tajte !
Him for his savior, becomes harder ami
harder until the Holy Spirit leaves that
heart forever. There is a point—the
dead line, beyond which a man cannot
go and be saved. I have not natch faith
in death-bed repentances. Sam Jones'
said that 08 out of every one hundred
death-bod repentances went back to the
world. There may be just a heart-beat
between you and eternity. This may be
somebody's last call."
Mr. Gill closes this series of services
tonight with a sermon on "What I sick I
Yet V" Come. B.

AT CONVERSE COLLEGE
Makes Strong- Pica for Returns to the
Ideals of Christianity.
Spartanburg, S. C.. May 28.—Former
Vice President Thomas Riley Marshall
delivered the commencement address at
Converse College .today in the presence
of 55 members of the graduating class,
the college faculty and a large audience
and visitors from a number of states.
Mr. Mai-sliall spoke without notes and
said after the exescises closed that lie
had not prepared a manuscript of his
spegch. He introduced himself as an
"antique, a bit of the ancient furniture
that has been sit down in the north
among the adornments of political and
economic life." His gVcatest boast, lie
said, was that he was born a Presby
terian and a Democrat and had never
departed from thßr teachings.
Mr. Marshall’s speech to the college
graduates was au urgent plea for a re
turn to the ideals of Christianity. Amer
ica. lie said, was founded upon the
Christian home and America cannot sur
vive if the Christian home is to disap
pear.
The speaker pictured the changes 1 1 hat
have come in life as the country has
developed, and referring to the disposi
tion of the people to discard the did
things and adopt the new.' lie said:
Let me warn you in the South to sit
your face against these untried innova
tions. preserve above all else the ancient
ideals of the Christian religion and be
ware of those who try to convince you
(that a thing is good because it is new.
(America Is going Ao be wliat she is by
the work of her women. I)o not let
tile ballot deprive you of the ideals of
your Christian home.
"In my generation," said Mr. Mar
shall. "a youth looked forward to a plot
of ground on which he might build a
borne: he is now looking to it flat and
a flivver. Yop can take it from me
that there is no government that can
conscript me to jlefine the family in a
hoarding house."

THE OLD HOME. «
(By JOHN R. ELKINS).
‘‘Chickens come home to roost.”
Well, I am not exactly a chicken, but,
in company with my brother. William
H. Elkins, of Cisco. Texas, whom I had
not seen for fifty-two years, until last
Saturday, I am in the old home town,
where brother and I will be glad to re
new old friendships, and make new ones.
But in reflection over the past, my heart
is made sad by reason of the fact that
the grim, monster has exacted such a
heavy toU from old friends. Even dur
ing the past four years, of those who
have "gone to that bourne from which no
traveller has ever returned,” 1 reitkll
"Billy” Cook. John Bundy. Captain Wil
liam Propat and Mm Propst, Mrs. Al
bertiue Murr, Mrs. William C. Boyd,
George Brown, Coh J. N. Brown, Daniel
Stiller, Mrs. Jim Erwin, Charlie McDon
ald, and perhaps others. '
As I perambulate the streets I look
or ask for this or that individual but in
vain, as the echo says they are silent
dwellers in" the city of the death I well
remember the twenty-first of April, 1861.
when the Cabarrus Guards, uuder Coh
Nelson though, and the Bliaek Boys, un
der Capt. James Atwell, pulled out for
the scene of action. Os the Guards Noah
Correll was the lifer. David Corziuc han
dled the bass drum anil James Benson the
kettle drum. Well, folks, there was some
ilia sic, no one could surpuss Correll in
blowing the fife and Jim Bensou was
ahead of the profession in beating demi
seini quavers on the kettle drum. All
honor to these soldier boys.
Y'es, frit nds. ou that fateful moruitig,
I was at the station as were hundreds
of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and
sweethearts, to say good-b.vethose
brave boys, many of whom never saw
home again. But their deeds shed a halo
of glory over their lives. I have not
time iu this article to note the material
improvements of the city nor of the
strides it has made, in education and re
ligion. but I'may touch ou these all im
portant questions in a subsequent com
munication. "
It has been forty years since l was a
citizen of this commonwealth, and in that
time many have been the changes in cit
izenship in material progress. Mauy of
the older ones have crossed the river,
but in crossing left many sons aud
daughters, worthy descendants of noble
sires. I have never foagotten my native
heath and never will, and it is a source
of unalloyed pleasure for this scribe to
spend awhile at his old home, ill meet
ing friends of by-gone days, in rehearsing
events of the tiast and in makiug new
friends where the latchstring hangs on
the outside.
BROTHERS SEPARATED
FOR FIFTY-TWO YEARS
Story of Two Brothers. W. F. and J.
R. Elkins. Who Were Born in Con
cord.
Rajas in Winston Journal.
Soiie seventy-six years ago. in the
city of Concord, there-was born to Mr.
anil Mrs. Willis Elkins a sou who mas
christened William Franklin. Two
years later another son blessed the happy
home, he taking the name of John Rog
ers. These two sons, of North Caro
lina were brought up together. They
ate. slept, played and enjoyed each oth
er's companionship for twenty-two
years. Then on the fltli of October. 1871.
William, who had married and was the
proud father of a chubby son, decided
to leave his old home for Texas. lie
and his family were accompanied to
Charlotte by brother John, who did not
know how long it wouletabe before lie
would set eyes on lilx bnkbei again.
William Elkins' route MR byway of
New Orleans, he having to go, from that
city to water on what was
known then as Morgan's land steam
ers, He settled in’ tak
ing up the trade of what was known
in those days as a tinner, now known,
however, as a metal iron work or sheet
, metal workers. He lived in the city
of Bryan for a period of nine years after
which time he moved to Culvert, Texas.
He resided iu Calvert for one year and
then he and his family moved to Com
anche, Texas. Here they resided for
thirty-nine years. Mr. Elkins still carry
ing on the trade that he Jiad selected
as his life's work. For file last three
years he has resided in Cisco, Texas.
During the Last year of the fifiril War.
Mr. Elkins saw service in a”regiment
of young soldiers known as the "North
Carolina Boys of 17." commanded by
Col. John Anderson and Major Beasley.
Even though he is seventy-six years
old. Mr. Elkius is the best
of health and is a fine specimen of phys
ical manhood.
John Elkins left Concord just a short
time after his brother William, taking
up his residence at Locust Level. Stanly
county. Here he entered the merchan
dise business, carrying it on successfully
for two years. He then moved to Al
bemarle. where he again entered the
merchandise field. He also owned aud
edited a newspaper at that place for
a period of eight years. After this
time he resided iu Salisbury for several
mouths. finally coming to Winston-
Salem. where he has resided ever since.
John Elkins, though not enjoying health
like his brother, nevertheless, is still an
energetic man and enjoying life.
The two brothers have kept up a cor
respondence all this time, but from Oc
tober 9. 1871. to May 19. 1923, fifty
two years, neither had seen nor spoken
to the other. On last Saturday after
noon. May 19, William Elkins walked
into the store of his nephew. W. B.
Elkins, op North Liberty Street, and
was instantly recognized by his brother",
who was present at that time. It was
a meeting tiiat is seldom seen and one
that was interesting indeed. The re
semblance of the two is marked and as
they have not seen one another in so
long a time they are together continually,
talking of old times ‘and exchanging
news and discussing questions that are
too old for you or I even to know about.
The two left on last Wednesday morn
ing for Concord, where they will visit
frieuils for several weeks. William
Elkins will be here until some time in
October befire returning to Texiwi.
In talking of the Lone Star Yttate.
Mr. Kokins said: ‘‘Texas is a fine coun
try and I like it very well, but—it nor
any other country can beat the Old
North State."
.(Mr. George C. Goodman, of No. 3
township, tells us that, so far as he
can ascertain, there are noly four peo
ple now living in Concord who were
living here when Mr. William Elkins
left for Texas. These are. A. M.
Brown. D. A. Murr, J, I». Allison and
R. E. McDonald.—Editor Times-Tri
