Epworth Methodist Church, located at the corner of Kerr and Depot streets, was formally dedicated at the morning service yesterday at 11 o'clock. The ser vice was attended by a congregation that completely tilled the Church, the congre gation being composed of members and > friends of the Church. The dedication service was conducted by Bishop Rollins Denny, of Richmond. Va.. who also delivered a forceful and interesting sermon just prior to the dedi cation service. The dedication service Was directed principally to the officers of the Church, who were instructed and charged by Bishop Denny. Epworth Church was organized in 1893. A small frame Church was first erected and this served for a number of years, being called Buys C’lmpel. In IXtMi the name was changed to Epworth at the suggestion of I»r. .1. K. Scroggs, who was the presiding elder of the Sal isbury district at that time. The congregation of the Church in creased rapidly ami in 1907 the congre gation decided to erect a new home and the property 'at the intersection of Kerr and Depot streets was purchased, and the building of a modern brick Clufrch started, in 1921 the Sunday School of the Church had grown to such propor tions that more room was needed in this department, so a Sunday school depart ment was erected at, a cost of $10,900. This Jlebt and all others on the Church have been paid off now. and with the cancellation of the the Church was formally dedicated yesterday. Rev. M. A. Osborne is the present pastor of the Church aud Mr. C. H. Barrier is chair man of the Board of Stewards. The life of Paul, with* his training, experiences and work fittingly used as illustrations of what one can do now, was the subject of the impressive and forceful sermon by Bishop Deuny. He read as his lesson the 28th Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, which gives in detail Paul's history of his convertion, and for his text took the 14th verse of the lirMt chapter of Romans: "I am a debtor both to the Creeks, and to the barbar ians; both to the wise and to the un wise.” At the time Paul made the utterance 1 found iu the text, Bishop Denny said, he was without nil asset. In present day parlance, he was a bankrupt. All he had he had received for. others, aud he was their debtor. The greatest debt oue contracts is not for something received from someone, but for something receiv ed for someone. That is the. greatest -point in the text, the Bishop stated. Paul was debtor for what he had received foe others, and he went about to repay this; debt by giviug of bis training, time, and energy for the of others. "When Paul begau to preach the world was In darkness and peril,” Bishop Den ny said. “Paul kuew the wiyr to light and to safety, and it was his duty to give this knowledge to the world. For giveness for sin was unknown generally. Paul knew that sins were forgiven l and it Vas his duty to give out this knowledge. Christianity discovered chastity. Purity was unknown in the days of the apos tles. But Paul had knowledge of purity and he gave this knowledge to others. “Paul httd the advantage of this know ledge, but as in every case the advantage was balanced with his responsibility to others. Such is always the case. With every advantage we have there is an opportunity to help others. What we have gained in the way of civilization, ,such as education, money and influence, *1» balanced by the responsibility to the rest of thew orld.” Paul was a trained man, an edueated man, a man influenced by great teachers, the speaker declared, “And he believed in something. Character was th,p great est thing about, him. When he started out in life he fought the Christians. And because he believed in his conviction he did a thorough job. opposing Christian women as well ns Christian men. Paul bdieved.in something. He thought. All people do not think./ Most of tos are like a phonograph. We repeat. Few people have convictions, most people have opinions. A man with convictions be comes 'a power.” Bishop Denny used Paul’s speedy ac tion in heeding |he call to preach as an example of what we should do when giv en a commission. “Paul’s commission was the greatest any man ever received, and he acted promptly. We should do the same. When we have work to do we should do it seriously and to the best of our ability.” , • Bishop Denny also pointed out that we should not be discouraged when our efforts are not greeted with applause. ‘•Paql did not get a great reception in Damascus after his conversion. I have never heard of any one going out to help in a great cause that was not rebutted. Christ came to help the world and only had a manger for a birthplace and a cross. for a deathbed. f In Damascus Paul was soon bated- People wanted to get rid of him. We find the same attitude today. When people oppose « man they are not satisfied to answer b(jn and his argument. They want to get rid of him. But in spite of all opposition Paul Btayed in Da mascus, for he had a debt to pay to the world.” .

Statesville, June 23. —An ancient piano, possibly the oldest in America, was incidentally discovered in States- Ville yesterday. The discovery was made in the basement of a negro’s house by a local relic hunter who was looking for an antiquated specimen of a familiar prand of pianos. The instrument in question was iden tified by Charles W. H.vains as being the piano which his great-grandfather, SolomaD Hyains. brought to this coun try from Prussia in the year 1744. The signature of the maker, George Heuhle, and his seal were pasted on the inside of the piano, thus making identification of this valued relic a certainty. Mr, Hyains stated that until yester day he had not heard of the piano in 40 years. He said that 45 years ago his father employed Prof. Gruber, the first piano timer who ever came to Statesville, to put the instrument in good order; and that about 40 years ago his father sold it and replaced it with a piano of the of that day. Prof. Gruber made the statement when he did the work nearly half a century ago that the instrument was in nil prob ability at that tiihe the oldest in Amer ica. and his wide knowledge of musical instruments would give weight to his opinion. This instrument, wllieh was brought to America from Prussia 170 years ago—and. no one knows how old it was when it made its first voyage across the stormy Atlantic—ns .made of solid ma hogany and is now in a fair state of preservation. The wires are rusted nnd broken, but the keys are there, though : in all probability its “voice is forever still." Its exterior shows a large num- i her of brass ornaments and nude figures The instrument will be purchased and 1 •preserved as a relie. 1 PREDICT SECOND WISER OF TORRID TEMPERATURE Length of Heat Wave Has Been Almost ' Unprecedented In North and West.

(By the Associated Press. ( June 25.—President Harding served i notice in an address here today that the federal government was determined to 1 enforce the prohibition law even should , the burden of enforcement continue to be increasingly thrown upon it by the states. Moreover, tlie executive voiced the con vic’tion not only that the prohibition ’ amendment will not be repealed, but J that whatever changes may be made in I the Volstead act “will represent the sin- j cere purpose of effective enforcement. ( rather than moderation of the general policy.” Striking straight, out at those who vio- ' late the law, the President said the is sue is fast coming to be recognized not as one between the “wets” and "drys,” . but as oue of whether the laws of “this , country can be and will be enforced.” “So far as tile federal government is ' concerned!” he said, “and I am very ! sure also, so far as concerns the very , great majority of the state governments and the local governments, it will be en- ' forced. A gratifying, indeed it may fairly be said, an amazing progress has been made in the last few years toward 1 better enforcement. While Mr. Harding made no direct reference to the situation in New York 1 state, he did say that “the spectacle” ‘ of a state nullifying its own authority, and asking the national sovereignty to J take over an important part of its pow ers, is new.” He added that “when l the implications of this strange proposal I are fully understood by people and par t ics devoted to preserving the rights of the state, the new nullificationists. I venture to say, will discover they 1 have perpetrated what is likely to prove : one of the historic blunders in political ' management.” President Saddened. Denver, Colo.. June 25 (By the Asso ciated Press). —Burdened with grief ov er the tragedy of yesterday, which re sulted in the death of two members of his party, severed the life cord of a Den ver host and ended with two persons identified with his visit here in a hos pital here suffering from injuries, Pres ident Harding today faces his program with a heavy heart, but compelled by ne cessity and lack of additional time to carry on as the original plans for li'is stay require. These included a parade through the city, a greeting of school children at the state house, a formal ad dress at the auditorium and a visit to Oreyenne, Wyoming, where another ad dress was to be delivered.

S. Has Right to Break Seals on the Wet Goods. New York. June 25 (B.v (he Anoi nted Press). —Two more “wet” liners steamed into port today while T'nited Slates government officials were prepitr ing to move on six other vessels which had been docked over the week-end, with Honor transporter! over the three mile i lino in defiance of the Treasury dry rul ing. The latest arrivals were the An chor line Tuscania, and the French line Snffren. The schedule today called for the re moval of liquor from the Cunarder, Rer engaria, which arrived Friday and whose seals were smashed late Saturday after noon. Then, dry agents planned to take up the case of the other week-enders: Paris. Cedric, Caronia, Providence and \ Conte Verdi. ' The Tuscania arriving, from Glasgow, brought a relatively small store. Seven dozen bottles of Scotch was the largest individual item. Eighty-nine bottles of assorted drinks, made up the rest of the cache bearing British government seals. The Stiffren was more heavily laden. She brought from Havre in addition to a small stock marked “medicinal supplies.” 1151 battles of wine, 821 bottles of cham pagne, 55 bottles of gin. 18 bottles of rum. and !) bottles of whiskey. The stock was under French govern ment seal. Customs men shortly before noon be gan moving the seized liquor stores from the Berengaria. The party was led by Deputy Customs Surveyor Coltman. They planned next to visit the Paris to seize liquors declared in excess of her medicinal requirements. 1 London, June 25 (By the Associated Press). —Stanley Baldwin, the prime minister, stated in the House"of Com mons today that there was no ground for protest if British customs seals were broken within the United States' terri torial waters by officials of the U. S. customs service. His statement was in answer to a question whether Great Britain recog nized America's right to break the seals on liquorsabonrd ships. Mr. Baldwin said it was the practice for the British customs authorities to fix their seals as a matter of routine on ship stores taken from England in bond to prevent consumption of the stores in ter ritorial waters. The seals must not be broken in British territorial waters, oth erwise they are iu uo way inviolable. Foreign customs seals, lie added, wei-e habitually broken when the necessity arose in British territorial watters. * Conforms With American View. Washington. June 25.—The statement by Premier Baldwin to the British House of Commons that the breaking of the British customs Seals on British liners arriving in New York with stores of liquor especially sealed, afforded no ground fbr protest to the T'nited States government, conforms to the view taken by American officials from the outset. It has been emphasized iu Washington that the seals had no value so far as Ameri can territorial waters were concerned and that their breaking b.v customs offi cers would not result in any international incident. In whatever steps the British govern ment might see fit to take with respect to the action of the New York customs officials it has been pointed out here the question involved would be the seizure of the liquor, and not the break ing of British seals and there has been no indication of any intention on the part of the British, uor as yet on the part of any other power, to protest against the seizures.
