Already, in advance of official action by the Salary and YVage Commission, there has been a readjustment of wages in one Department, that is, in one branch of the State government. When the Com missioner of Revenue took over the force in charge of automobile registration, he announced drastic cuts, and many of the employees, mostly young women, were taken from the State’s payroll. However, there was no announcement made as to a revision of salaries in the Department of Revenue, in advance of the meeting of the Salary and Wage Commission. Sev eral members of the automobile registra tion force, including J. E. Sawyer, who had been with the pepartinent of State since the registration of automobiles in North Carolina began and who was chief of the registration department, resigned. Mr. Sawyer’s salary was stated as SO,- 000 a year. Other employees resigned. The majority of them, however, went to Com missioner Doughton's jurisdiction with the transfer.

Their accounts shall be audit ed, by the Budget Bureau and paid out of the emergency contingent fund.

CONCORD, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1925 CENTMLITY OF THE CHRIST IS SUBJECT OF STRONG SERMON Sermon Was Delivered Last Night In Central Church Here By Dr. J. A. B. Fry, Now Os California BIG CONGREGATION HEARD THE SERMON Problems Os World Will Be Less When (People Make Jesus Centra Figures In Lives, Speaker Said .lie “The centra’ity of Christ" as the panacea for the ills jof the world was offered by Dr. J. A. R. Fry in an inspir ing sermon delivered last night in Cen tral Methodist Church to a congrega tion that filled the auditorium of the Church. Dr. Fry left immediately after the service for his California home. Dr. Fry has been in North Cnrolinn for the past week nnd it was at the urgent request of his many friends iu the city that he agreed to sneak at the prayer service at Central Church last night. The great love nnd esteem in which lie is held by Oancord people was clearly demonstrated by the fact that members of mnny other Churches than Methodist tnade up the large congrega tion that heard him. Before beginning his sermon Dr. Fry expressed great pleasure nt being in Concord, a city which he said “is precious to me.” “In later yenrs if it shall be my lot to be bent of shoulders and crippled of limb.’’ he said, “I slial' ask nothing better than to be allowed to. walk with my spent body on your streets and in your hofhes." “The Master’s Triumphal Entry In to Jerusa’em" was the text chosen by Dr. Fry for a sermon devoted almost wholly to a discussion of the power of Jesus Christ to remedy the evils of the human being nnd of the world. “There are no settled problems today.” Dr. Fry began. “Problems of the Church, prob lems of Stnte. problems of politics, eco nomic and sociological problems are un settled. The war 'eft us all, uncertain. I do not know what Will happen to France, soviet Russia, Eugland or Ger many. America is the surest of all nations but we are notveertain where we are going. However. T believe America will win for I have faith in the Ameri can consciousness to meet all crisis. “There is just one great certainty— Jesus Christ. There is no voice of great leadership in America. The great de mocracy will win .but I do not know in what way. The problems of the Church are not solved. There were never so many Church problems, but neither was there ever before such an assurance of Jesus Christ. “In the great world problems men are turning to Christ. Never before were there so many men seeking to give a square deal; never before. were there such efforts by men to be honest with their money. We never knew before such philanthropies. In greater numbers than ever before men of great wealth are dividing their fortunes among the men and women who worked for them. This shows that men are finding the way out of their problems by using Christ as the central figure in their fives.” God’s greatest and final revelation to man ih Jesus Christ. Mr. Fry said in stressing the point that personality is greater than all else. '"Hie greatest reve lation is Jesus which the Bible reveals,” he continued. “Personality is greater than all else and all things *are for per sons. Money, houses, Churches nnd power are not created for themselves. They are created for persons, and in the personality of Christ, God made his greatest revelation.” Theological, scientific and economic problems must be decided, Mr. Fry added, but he declared these questions hold no fear for him. "The problems are serious and grave ones,” he admitted, “but I have no fear for the final issue for I have faith that my Master will win.” Mr. Fry warned Ills hearers against trying to define personality. “Here is where some of the trouble comes,’’ lie said, “for we try to describe the in describable? You can’t shut God up in definitions; He is too big for that. You can’t define or describe yourself. Neith er can you define your love for a child. I find many people are worried over and afraid of such questions. But I am not for I believe God reigns and will not be dethroned.” Issuing a warning against the prac tice of ignoring what the world calls “common place” things, Mr Fry de clared that “Christ, comes first” but “He uses the other things.” In this con-1 nection Mr. Fry told of the entry of Pompey into Rome years before the coining of Christ. “Pompey rode into the i city in fine vehicles, with hundreds of captives and with the people applauding * him. Today he is a memory. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and today . he is Master of the world. [ “God needs you as really as you need . Him, and He needs the things you > create with your hands. There Is no dis . ferenee between secular and sacred if you live right. To the Christian Monday ] is just like Sunday. I •am just ns re sponsible to God for the use of the money I have as I am for the use of ' the Bible. All things are divine, to him f who thinks divinely. ' “You can’t build God’s kingdom and * ilenve out the material .things. The work !| of a man in an office is just the same ’ as preaching if he doe* it with the £ consciousness of cooperating with God. (Continued on Page Six.)

Ky„ April 23 (By the As sociated Press).—Floyd Collins’ body to- £ day was freed from the underground trap where he met slow death two months ago while a nation vainly prayed and fever ishly waited for word that did not come— that he had been saved alive. As flip sun rose over the cavernous hills of Barren County this morning, its rays revealed a long guard standing sentinel over the mouth of Sand Oave, at the hot tom of whose pit rested the body of the cave explorer, free at last from the rock that fell on him January 30th and held him till death relieved him after 17 days of suffering. I.ate yesterday miners engaged in a second attempt to release his body suc ceeded in tunneling under a huge lime stone rock in the path of a new lateral at % the 70 foot level, and came upon the | body. Instead of encountering a mam- | moth rock supposed to be pinning the body', they found a stone of but 75 to : 1 100 • pounds weight across his ankles. Morsels of food, rope, chisels and ham- -| mers carried to him during the early days of his entrapment were found by his side. It was the work of but a short | time to clear away debris, and soon as- - terward the miners had dragged the body • A to safety at the foot of the shaft. Their efforts bent disaster by only a * *• few minutes, for shortly after the body had been withdrawn, the lateral where ; they had ben working collapsed, and slid ' < 100 feet below into a dark pit. This sub stantiated Collins’ remarks to rescuers • A who crawled to. him in the early days of his imprisonment that a deep pit was right behind him. National Swimming Events. j; San Francisco.
