NEWS OF T?E CHURCBES Revitutr at Kerr Street Baptist Church. The revival at Kerr Street Baptist Church started off in fine shape with I a large congregation. The singing was enjoyed by all as it carried one back to childhood. The singing was spiritual and uplifting. Mr. Clark knows how to sing and how tto get other to sing. ' With Miss Minnie Allman at the organ ■ it seems that God is in the Very at mosphere. The sermon was interesting from beginning to end. The preacher spoke of the downward steps of Peter. He siid in part, Iliter did not fall suddenly, but went down step by step. People do uot climb at bounds and leaps but climb step by step until they have reached the top. God could have made the world in oue day just as easy as taking six but that was not best so God did the best. All great institutions , have beeu build little by little, precept [ upon precept, line upon line, here a lif . tie and there -a little. The first step Peter made downward was when he be . gan to quarrel with the brethren about who should be the greatest. AA'lien a Christian begins to find fault in the • church he or she is then making their first downward step. The second step was made when Peter began to boast about his strength. He told the Lord . that he would go to prison and to death - with him. . The third step was made when he went to sleep. How many Christians have we today who are just 1 as much asleep as Peter was Then the s fourth step was made when Peter fol lowed his Lord to Jerusalem afar off. He was following but was too far away. tA'e have many today who are following i at a great distance. The fifth was whert Peter sat down in the devil’s crowd and by the devil's fire. AA'hen Christians be gin to associate with the devil’s crowd 1 And go to the devil's places of amusement ' ! they are then in a good way to deny I their Lord. The last step was when I he began to curse and swear and denied - ljis Lord, Service tonight at 7 :30 o'clock. Come ’ qiid worship with us. X. Gospel Services.

Barfield lost on the streets of Fayetteville 22 years ago came back to him yesterday in a letter from Water A’alley. Miss. The money was turned over to L. AA'.

He arrived here late in the day and found all banks closed, and wyis therefore unable to de posit the $l4O which he carried in his pocket. The next morning he discov ered that the money was gone. Dili gent efforts failed to recover it and Jie gave the money up as lost until a few days ago when he received a letter from Mr. Mac Key asking him if he had lost such a sum. The uegro had lived in Grenada county. Miss., and that ; told Mac Key that he thought the loser | his name was Barfield. Inquiry failed ti> locate the owner there, but, meeting \fith J. E. Barfield recently. Mac Key Was advised to write to the FayAteville man. Mr. Barfield lost no time iu re ; plying to the letter with the result that lie received a check for the amount of » the money from Air.

(Rj JOHN R. ELKINS) My recent visit with my brother, Wil liam from Texas, to ol<t home. Concord and vicinity, ia still fresh iu my mind and will linger on memory’s tablet until the final summons. My visit was a protract etl ope but was necessarily so in order to reach numerous relatives, sister, neph ews, nieces, cousins and a multitude of friends of former years. My brother aud I bad beeu separated for more than fifty years, and together we bad a royal good time on the old stamping grounds. Many that we knew in boyhood days have long since handed in “their checks" or -iu modern parlance have “gone West,” but in their departure many of left a rich legacy in noble sous and daughters with whom it was a “feast of love aud a flow of soul", to commune. Bonaparte the night before his final de feat at AA'aterloo’ next day, said: “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined,” so. leaving off the dance, my heart and soul were thrilled with tender emotions and joy was unconfined for three mouths as I communed friend with friend. Our itinerary was not hedged about with the territory of Cabarrus, includ ing Concord and Kannapolis, but we forged across the lint- into Albemarle. Charlotte and Pineville. At every point visited that broad generous spirit charac teristic of the HcOteh-Irixh and Dutch met us. and we found it to be good to be there. Concord's Oldest Citizens. I am glad to note that while'the liar vest of death in the city for a few years past has beeu great, there are still quite a number lingering on the shores of time. Rev. Dr. L. A. Bikle..ripe schol ar. was for a time president of N. C. College at Mt. Pleasant, and for years pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, is in his eighty-ninth year. The doctor is still quite active and his mind alert. Jas. AA'. Hill is still living at eighty three. but is quite feeble. Mrs. Sullie Ferguson at eighty-six is well preserved and her mind quite active. "Aunt" Becky Haithcock is eighty-six. but uot vigorous. 3lr. Joe AA'bite is eighty-six and able to make bis rounds. There may be other octogenarians but I have not a list and from memory I can't recall. However, it may be said that the soil, climate and water of Ca barrus county is conducive to longevity. ’ Oyly recently it will be remembered that Col. James X. Brown and Mr. Dan Stil ler. both of whom were nearing the cen tury mark, passed away. I-and and Crops. I have always known there was much productive soil in Cabarrus county, but my recent visit through portions of the best cotton and corn belt, was an eye ■opener. The cotton and corn was pro lific and wheat was fine. The old-time falm iiupleinefits have been relegated to . the junk heap, and new and greatly im proved tools and machinery "have been substituted. Old worn out lands in many instances Wave been reclaimed nnd fertilizers used lijbro liberally. The im proved methods cultivating the soil have worked wonders in the farming in terests, and the yield in crops has great ly increased. I would think fifty per cent, over that of forty years ago. The Days of My Youth. Brother Sherrill, although standing in the shadow of the seventy-fifth milestone of my life. I cannot forget theidays of my youth. Strike lip. with prano uooom payiment "AYhen Aon .Aud I AA'ere Young. Maggie." nr "AA’ay Down 1 'poll the Swanee River, or yet. “Annie I-au ric." and my heart thrills with joy, and ; 1 almost feel young again. AA’lto does i not love music? "Music hath charms ; for even the savage breast." Then again, ; 'those Suuday School snugs, "Iu the Sweet i Bye and Bye," "Over There." "Will ! There Be Any Stars iu My Crown," then further back, the sung* of our daddies, j Btvlerma. Boyleston. Rock of Ages, i Nearer My God To Thee. etc. These \ songs have a mellowing ipfitiencc on opr lives, make us better men and Ijptter women. AA'lty not discard these new raz , zte-dazzle songs in ally of which are void of devotioji. and lead only to the dance hull aud the'''Opera. The old-time rellg • ion and songs were good enough for Paul and Silas, and they ‘are good enough for , ipe. AA'ithout indulging in pessimistic views I atii forced to think that the church (all denominations) have in a measure departed from "the faith once delivered to the saints.' The social fea ture as to organizations is worked over time aud spirituality lies dormant under ; the pressure. It there ever was a time when a wave of pupe, lindefiled religion was needed iu the:world, thut time is 1 now. Plow up the cotton stalks tbi* fall as soon as possible after the crop is j picked.
