Banquet Was Attended by More Than Eighty Members rtf tt)e Class—Dr. McGearby the Speaker. Members of the Men’s Bible Class of | the First Presbyterian Church staged their annual banquet Thursday night, the new house of the Cabarrns Country | Club offering the setting for the meeting which was featured by a talk by Dr. A. 1 A. MeGeaehy, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charlotte. The , class started the practice of holding ban-1 i quets annually several years ago jind each [ year has found n larger number of men i present and more interest and enthusi j asm shown, the attendance this year be ing much better than at any previous i banquet, and much interest being dis -1 played by every one. Tables were placed in the large/ living i room of the club house, places being re ! served for more thnny eighty guests. i Captams were in charge of the various i teams and it was announced at the meet ' ilig that the team with the best per cent i age of attendance would be given ten i points on, the year’s average. | .J. A. Cannon, president of the class, , presided at the banquet, and sitting': with ' Mr. Cannon and. pr. .MeGeachy. .were Rev. J. C. Rowan, pastor of the church; , C. F. Ritchie, superintendent of the-Sun day School of the church, and W. G. [ Caswell, teacher of the class, i “America” was sung as the opening J number of the banquet program and the ' invocation was delivered by Mr. Oas , wrfl. While the turkey dinner was ‘ befog enjoyed many excellent musical 1 | numbers were rendered by Mrs. J. B. Wembie, Mys. Gales Pickard, Mrs. Les lie Correll. Miss Laura Gillon, Sam Good man. •R. E. Bidenkour. Jr., and R. C. 1 Crooks. Two duets by Mrs. Womble and Mrs. Goodman proved especially pop- ' ular and on each occasion they were called back for encores. Dr, MeGeachy was introduced by Mr. Rowan who expressed unfeigned plea sure It the opportunity of introducing “to this class of which we are justly | a man “without a peer” in the .Southern Presbyterian Church as a per sonal worker. • Dr. MeGeachy told his hearers, at the beginning that he brought no formal ad dress with him . "This will be more in ■the nature of a clinic than a forma) | meeting,” he explained, adding that va • rious cases were to be discussed and studied. He again described the meet- j .ing as a “conference,” adding that re , pults and not effects were desired, i The speaker is recognised throughout [ the Southern Presbyterian Church as an , unusually successful and inspiring per sonal worker and he described in hie talk [ many of Ihe experiences he had had in i his efforts to win souls for Jesus Christ, i With each point stressed in bis talk Dr. [ MeGeachy would follow with an illustra tion taken from his rich experiences and !thie manner of utterance found much favor with those who heard him. ■ Dr. MeGeachy said he never tried some of the methods other ministers, said they found successful in their personal work, and be included in this the frifcn of wear ing a somber look, carrying a Bible in One hand and a Crucifix as it were, in ‘the other, when they approached a per son with, whom they desired ,to talk about Christ. “I don’t favor this plan,” 'he readily admitted, ndding that many I laymen would not undertake personal ; work because they felt they should fol low such tactics. “I try to approach a man in a jocular •fashion,” Dr. McGeahy said. “When two men meet in the ring they usually 1 ibegin by sparring. That is the way I , Vork. .1 get serious step by step but once I get serious I stay with my man l until I get a decision.” Dr. MeGeachy told his hearers that the minister cannot do if all. “In my church I have been successful because I have had willing workers. t They have co-operated with me. Every man can- I not get fish from the pool but he can i help just the same by pointing out the [ fish to some one who can get them out. i That is where the layman has his great j est field. If he can’t talk to people about their hopes, about joining the church and about giving their souls to ft Christ he can investigate and report to 6 his pator or some one else who can P carry out the personal work." * The speaker said he talked in a busi ness-like method .to men when he went to see them about salvation. “The I I business man is accustomed to business ! methods,” he said. “Don’t waste his time and don’t Wait all day for an op [ ening. And if he is busy let him alone until he has time to talk.” i It is best to talk to a man alone when | you try to “sell” him Christ, Dr. Mc i Geachy said. “If persons are around it makes him conscious and unnatural,” the | speaker declared. It is especially Wise i to get men away from wouien when dis -1 cussing such questions with them. [ Dr. MeGeachy said he thought his meth i ods were “not unlike those of Christ.” 1 When Christ was walking by the sea and [ met the men who were to be his disciples, i the speaker said, he didn’t tell them to 1 “take ,up the Cross and follow me." | “He did say ‘follow me’,” Dr. MeGeachy ) pointed out, “but he waited until he had talked to them longer before he said £ anything about ‘taking up the Cross'.” “I am a salesman, selling the Gospel i J and Jesus Christ,” Dr. MeGeachy said i in closing, “and if I had to choose be -1 tween the pulpit and personal work I | don’t know which I would take. In both I try to ‘sell’ the saving grace of ; God. I love to get fiold of men, men i who are careless and indifferent. I i like to take these men to the feet of 1 Jesus Christ and leave them there.” ] His closing thought was a plea to the men of the class to co-operate with their pastor. “We added 190 new members to my church last year,” he said, “and this was possible because of the co operation given me by members of my church. The preachers can’t do it all and you men must help. If you can't take the fish from the pool you can at least find them in the pool for your pas -5 tor who can do the fishing.” x .Turkey, dressing, rice and gravy, sugar A peas, cranberries, celery, rolls, coffee, 5 angel food cake and whipped cream were X served in abundance during the evening O to the. class members and their guests 9 present. 8 In some parts of England the practice fi prevails of displaying a flag from a X schoo’.house roof when every pupil is, 5 present Hie children take great pride | ** in this and the rivalry between schools 0 to found to Improve the attendance. . . . , .

All sorts of wild stories were started as to tbe origin and use of the tunnels. Then the bubble of speculation, . which hod clothed them with the romance of intrigue and mystery, was burst by an announcement by Dr. Harrison Gray Dyar, custodian of lepidoptera in the. National Mu seum, that he had hull* the tun riels byway of getting’-exercise. Now. however, folks Are won dering whether perhaps there 'wasn’t something to the “buried treasure” story .after all.

Aggressively fighting agaihst odds, courageously and audaciously 'and; con tinuously, is essential to big success in life, says George Sinclair Hurst,' who, though blind, is the successful advertis ing manager for a big soap concern.. In spite of the greatest discourage ments and the severest handicaps, Hurst fought through to success against a fate to which most people would have sur rendered. For Hurst the curtail fell eleven years ago, shutting out the light. His inspiringly. heroic philosophy is given in the JMarch issue of the combined Hearst’s International and Cosmopolitan. “The most horrid vision of all to me was that of going for life into an inky blackness,” he says. “It isn’t like that at all. Not a bit of it. It is like a great colorless shell which may be dull and forbidding or glowing and luminous with light and hope, according to the aoul each man puts into it.” Hunt demonstrates that no matter how serious the affliction j there will be plenty of things worth living for still left.
