INCREASED ATTENDANCE AT NOON-DAY SERVICE Attendance Tuesday and Today Mope Than Twice as Large as on Open ing Day. Interest in the noon-day services being held at the Concord Theatre this week is on the increase. This is attested by the fact that attendance at the services Tuesday and this morning was twice as large as on the opening day Monday, with the attendance this morning larger than on Tuesday. Tuesday, Dr. J. It. Pontuff. pastor of the McGill Street Baptist Church, was the speaker, and today Rev. k. M. Courtney, pastor of Central Meth odist Church, spoke. Dr. J. C.

A Pathfinder reader who recently went to Florida to make Ills fortune and gain experience writes that he has already accomplished one-half of his purpose. He claims that it a certain town he found that every bed was full for the night and he Was glad enough to pay a kind-hearted lady $2 to sleep in a hammock in her back yard. During the night his back got somewhat cramped from the hammock and he thought he would go out and doee for a while in his auto, which was parked in the street. To hi« surprise he found four strang ers asleep In his madloe. He routed them up and told Them to get ,ont, hot. thevyprotested flfct had-’TWild the landlady $2 apiece to sleep there. Which shows that these stories about the lack of sleeping accouainodations in Florida and the unreasonable Aargos for them are all bunk. The British unemployment dole will be jiaid for anotbet year. CITY CHURCH SERVICES. Forest Hill Revival. 'rte Forest Hill revival deepens in interest. Rev. Roy T. Houts preach ed last night to a fairly good sized crowd, for a rainy night. The ser mon was based on Jesus' teachings in regard to foolish doings. Several con versions and reconsecrations were made. The rain did not stop the peo ple, and the interest seeded to be very fine on the part of those who were present. It is evident that the spir itual interest is growing every day. Tonight at 7 o’clock Mrs. Houls will speak to the girls on the subject "Beauty and Brains.” At the same Sour Mr. Houts will speak to the boys. These subjects are interesting and should be hoard by many of the boys and girls. At 7:30 regular services for all You are welcome to all the services. PASTOR. Services at Trinity Reformed Church.

Mr. West, who was with the congregation in November, 1921, and did a splendid work, will be remembered by the con gregation and many of the citizens of Concord. The congregation considers itself happy to announce the return of so capable a preacher. The Password to Glory. “The Password to Glory,” was the theme of Mr. Trueblond's discourse in the evangelistic services at the First Baptist Church Tuesday night. Notwithstanding the exceedingly dis agreeable weather, a good-size congre gation was present, and all seemed to enter enthusiastically into the ser vice, apparently oblivious of the lull ing rain without. Tlie pastor’s text was the last three words in 2nd Corinthians, 4th chap ter, sth verse: , "For Jesus’ Sake.” ‘These three words,” stated Mr. Trueblood. "have magic power; prop erly applied to our hearts, and grip ping our souls, they would mean more than any other three words in the dictionary. These three words as the sincere motto of our lives, would make out of us spiritual giants, Christians of colossal stature. Every relation ship of l-.fe would be revolutionized— social, domestic, industrial, political, religious, if we were guided by those three little words "B’or Jesus’ Sake.” Mr, Trueblood talking in -just a ‘'heart to heart” fashion pbitated out some of the spiritual glories available to the individuals who would use this wonderful -password, "For Jesus Sake.” First there was the glory of con scious pardon. Rom. 5:11 "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, God forgives our sins on account of Christ—"For Jesus’ Sake.” Second, we observe the glory of prayer answered "For Jesus’ Sake.” John 15:16 "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name (For Jesus’ Sake) He will give it you.” When we present our petitions, our spiritual checks, to the bank of God, they are honored only when the signature ’’For Jesus Sake” is upon the check. Third, the glory of an unselfish life, “For Jesus Sake.” Matt. 10:30 “He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life For' My Sake shall find it.” Ford, here was noticed the glory of forgiveness ’’For Jesus Sake.” Col. r-p .“ Forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Christ bus done so much for our sakes: there fore, we should place tile matter of forgiveness on the highest possible basis, and forgive “For Jesus Sake’” Fifth, the glory of sacrificial ser vice, or the willingness to suffer, if need be, “For Jesus’ Sake.’ Matt. 5:10-12—"Blessed are they which are prsecuted for righteousness sake, (for the cause of Christ); for the'r’s is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and perse cute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely For My Sake. Rejoice, mid be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." All the way through the message the preacher was probing deeply into the very inner-most hearts of his hearers, with heart-searching questions touching upon the very core of Chris tianity. The congregation appeared to greatly appreciate the pastor’s ef fort to present this message on things essential to genuine Christian living. At the close df the sermon another member was received into the church. Mr. Betts sang one of his most beautiful solos Tuesday night. To n'glit the song service, conducted by Mr. Betts, starts promptly at 7:30; and then the sermon. A feature of the meetings is a Bible Rending Con test. already over six hundred Bible chapters have been read by those at tending the services. CHURCH REPORTER. Status of Sinner Discussed in Ser mon. Following tip his sermon of Mon day night, when he discussed “Sin,” Rev. B. M. Courtney in Central Methodist Church Tuesday night dis cussed the status of the sinner. There is a promise in the Bible for every person, said Mr. Courtngv, ex cept the impenitent sitrtier, and such a person is without the hope eternal that stimulates the man who has giv en himself to Jesus. The sinner, Mr. Courtney Siid, is without Christ, is without Cod and gives away to those emotions that are prompted by sin. There is hone for such a man however, so long as ho is willing to put the past behind him and believe in mid follow Jesu~. At the service this morning Mr. Courtney discussed another “Early Morning Scene iu the LiU of Christ.” describing what he termed possibly Christ’s last meeting with a multitude. fHfe CONCORD DAILY tRIBUNIi WILL ROGERS TO BE IN CHARLOTTE APRIL 6TH Will Rogers. V !.-. Will Be at the Charlotte Auditorium on Tuesday Night, April Hth, at 8:36. Miss Betty Blake used to be the belle of the town of Rogers, Arkan sas. That was back in 1907. At that time Miss Blak» had ni idea that in one of (he days to come she would change her name to Rogers, not in honor of her home town, but because she was. to become the wife of Will Rogers. Once she was asked by a reporter what her ideal of a husband was and dip wrote down the following: “My ideal husband must be a man not too dark, nor not too fair, not too fat and not too slim, not too old and not too young, not too lazy or not too energetic to be ou~ of place in Arkansas. I do not wish him so tall that he has to be folded up to in- ‘.j.-s a m J jit:... 4^Blmk sert him in the opera house, not so short that he hasn’t the price of reasonable delicacies. He must be fond of onions and of meto, the ex tent of speaking kindly at least once every other Sunday, and must allow me the privilege of selecting my own hat. After long and painful wait ing I’ve come to the conclusion the ideal man is the one who says, ‘lets marry.” ' Then you may shake him or wed him as you choose or both, I’m told.” “I’m sure glad that girl didn't marry that ideal she was talking about,” said Will Rogers the other day. "If she had stuck to her plans she wouldn’t ever have become Mrs. Rogers.” Will Rogers and the De Rcszke Singers will entertain as many per sons who will be able to crown into the Auditorium. FUNERAL OF GEO. C. IIEGLAR Attended by a Large Concourse of Peo ple.—Given Masonic Honors. The funeral of George C. Heglar, oHe of the foremost citizens of Cabar rus countly, was conducted at Cold Springs Methodist Church Sunday , af ternoon, March 28th, in the presence of one of the largest congregations ev er assembled in the county. Services were conducted by his pastor. Rev. W. L. Scott, of Mt. Pleasant, assisted by his wife's pastor, Rev. C. H. True blcod, of the First Baptist Church, of Concord. Special music was render ed by members of the First Baptist Church choir aud the First Presbyte rian Church choir, of Concord. The pall bearers were L. D. Coi trane, J. A. Kennett, J. F Dayvault, G. 11. Hendrix, Dr. T. N Spencer, A. B. Pounds, W. W. Flowe, J. IV. Pike. Besides carrying out tne regular order of service flip pastor commented very fittingly upon the passage. "Peace on earth, good will to men,” which Mr. Heglar often repeated during his”last illness. His life of faithfulness and effective service had been one of quiet simplicity, of harmony, of peace and good will among men. At the grave the Masons, of whom he was a loyal and prominent member, took charge of the burial service. The immense throng cf people pres ent at the funeral, as well as tlie large number of beautiful floral offerings, attested to the Irgh esteem in which Mr. Heglur was held. He was a man of large means and he had used his means to serve hiH fellowman, responding quietly but lib erally to worthy appeals for help, whether they were for individual or public good. Mr. Heglar is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Mabel Parr, of Tennessee. One sister, Mrs. B. L. Griffin, of Coneord, also survives Mr. Heglar had been s;nce youth a loyal member of Cold Springs Church and bail served bis church in every way possible, befcg7"at the rime of bis death a faithful trustee of church property. He was a splendid type of Christian gentleman and his death brings sorrow to a large host oS friends. Mr. Heglar had been in declining health for several years but his con dition was not considered serious. However, he was taken violently ill and carried to a hospital in Char lotte on March 2nd for an operation and he never recovered. During the period of intense suffering, be was patient and hopeful. He lovpd life and desired to get well, but was sat isfied to leave his destiny in God's hands. He sang “Jesus, Lover of My Soul," repeatedly while on h ; s death bed. He sang “Happy Day. That Fixed My Choice,” and often spoke of his willingness to rest securely in the hands of his Maker. In his passing Cabarrus county loses one of her most progressive cit izens. His church gives up one of her staunchest members. His broth erhood loses a member of loyalty. His community : s called upon to give up a friend and citizen of splendid Chris tian character..

Catawba River Is Depicted In Sermon as God’s Work Charlotte Observer. “There is a river, the stream whereof shall make glad the city of God.” Taking this expression from the fourth verse of the 46th Psalm as his text, Dr. Luther Little, pastor of the First Baptist Church, delivered a striking sermon Sunday morning in which he stressed the fact that God uses material things and human instrumentalities to bring relief and healing and sustenance to his peo ple. Dr. Little described in vivid lang uage how the Catawba River, through the vision and the financial power given the late James B. Duke, was being made to serve humane purposes ;in the Carolinas through the opera tion of the Duke endowment. The “44th” ’River [ Dr. Little introduced his sermon 1 with a description of the place rivers have held in history, remarking upon the romance that has ever centered about streams and upon their utili tarian service throughout the develop ment of our civilization. The geog raphers, he said, sometime ago select ed a list of 42 rivers an the most not j able in the world. 1 “The geographers who limited their list of notable rivers to 43 must add the 44th,” declared Dr. Little. “God started a little river up in the everlasting hills of North Caro lina, and this stream, muddy and not too appealing in its beauty, has been made to bless two great states. The same God that planted this stream in our mountains raised up a country lad down at Duiham and he gavehim vision and the power to accumulate great wealth. And lie made him see that he was merely the trustee for that wealth and for the great materi al things that tie had achieved. “For God always accomplished his great purposes through man. God commanded this man to shrow a dam across the Catawba river and he did it. And then he caused ’him to build another, and another and another. And power and light were distributed throughout this great section, indus j tries were built and have grown, com merce has expanded and prosperity has come to our section. Creates Millions. “I am not concerned, however. that the power produced on the Catawba river has made the Carolinas instead of New England the center of the tex tile industry, that it has created mil and rapid enlargement. of our indus tries and commerce. Nor am I great ly interested in tbV that the fainse of education in the Carolinas and the South has received and is to receive such a wonderful lift from this source. “What is very near to my heart is the relief and healing and comfort t'.iat this river is to bring to sick and suffering men and women and chil dren in our Carolinas, and the succor and sustenance it is to bring to our Shrdding Crocodile Tears. The Pathfinder. Ques. What is meant by shedding “cdocodile tears”? —Ana. “Crocodile tears” are hypocritical tears or pre tended grief. This meaning is de rived from the old myth that croco diles moan and sigh like human beings in distress to allure travelers to the spot. The old notion was that they even shed tears over their prey while in the act of devouring it. Chairman—Comrades, Che resolu tion is, “That we do all in our power to stop the deportation of any citi zen, whatever his opinions.” Any dis senter? Voice —Yes. Chorus—Chuck 'im out!

I "I didn’t turn my head a second time when I first saw this muddy stream,” remarked Dr. Little. “But whenever I cross it today or find my self upon its banks I uncover my head. Qod is in it.” Dr. Little compared the Duke en -1 dowmeut with the Rockefeller foun dation. Tile latter, stretching its influence all over the workl, must eventually exhaust itself because its I principal is being used. But the I usefulness and the measure of good that is to come through the Duke i foundation will bless the Carolinas |as long as nature itself functions. | It is to be perpetual, provision even being made for increasing the prin cipal which itself is not to be used | save to provide the income for the | great purposes outlined by its crea tor. I Dr. Little emphasized the doctrine ■ of trusteeship of wealth, declaring that just as Mr. Duke had conceived i the Catawba River and a great part | of his wealth to be tii« for the use ! of humanity and had dedicated them to humanitarian purposes, so must all I wealth and all humau talents be re garded. “As we come at last to the river of death, we must fling back to those who follow the things that we have gathered during the journey that those who come after may have clearer vision, less suffering and fewer ob stacles. And then when we reach, on the other side, the river of life all suffering, nil illness and ail unhappi ness will reign forever.” Say It With Flowers What is more appropriate on Easter morn than flowers— beautiful white lilies'?
