Handsome and Modern.
Concord’* newest church building,
erected b.v the congregation of Trin
. ity Unformed Church, wns formally
dedicated yesterday with services that
attracted many prominent members of
the church from various parts of the
state. Also, members of other tdtnrches
in t’oncord and Cabarrus county at*
, tended the services and rejoiced with
the builders on the happy occasion.
The dedicatory service was held at
11 a. m. with a fellowship service at
3p. m. The church wns filled at both
services.
The day's program began at 10 a. ,
m. when a service of praise and prayer
wns held,' this being followed by -ud
, dresses by Rev. W. H. McNairy and
Rev. H. A. M. Hols'.touscr, former t
pastor* of the church. Immediately
offer these adrcsse*’there was a ser
vice of praise by the chi'dren of the
church. I
In his talk Mr. McNairy warned 1 1
against using the handsome church j (
and its equipment for anything ex-! i
ccpt service to (lod. "In the mod-! 1
cm days," he said, "the tendency too j <
often is away from the church, f'hil-!
dren are taught to go to Sunday school’ I
but arc not taught to stay for church. • i
Phople say they don't need to go toil
church for t’.iey can get a sermon over-t
the radio. Nothing takes the place j ,
of the church and the spirit of wor-! |
ship that has .made the church l‘.ic 1 1
steering wheel of religion. Make j i
your Sunday school a pa rt pf your i I
church."
Mr v Molnhouarr said it gave him j I
ns a former pastor i <
to the congregation 1 <
Member*,! u Rteir new home. "Be-j.
member,] he said, "for what purpoor'
lh# ehujbh was built. , spnnhpmil
■ftgJjßfTlii igglHias others' in the rt’tj isi ■
that 5e reason you built it? It is
equipped as good as any others in!
the city. Is that the reason you j |
hnilt it? No. Toil built it so you 11
could better wors'.iip God nnd could! |
better train your children to worship j t
God. Keep always before you that 1 1
thought." |
After the reading of the dedication |
service by the |iaslor. Rev. W. C. I.y- i
erly. the sermon was delivered by Rev. |
H. A. Freporuian. of Greensboro, on j
the subject, “The Church of the Liv
ing God," and from the text, “Tie i
Church of the Living God. the pillar
and ground of the truth,” found in
First Timothy the 15th verse of the ]
third chapter. *
"In certain quarters,” said Mr. I'es- ,
pennan, “we hear men speaking in ,
glowing terms of Christ, and f.icn |
with the last half of the same breath '
denouncing the church. There are
those who toil us that it does not
matter whether people have been bap- ,
fixed, taken communion or belonged to
the church—that on the whole It is ,
better for them not to have done any ■
of these ehutchly things.”
“This, however, Is not the attitude
of Christ. He did not deride the
church. The church in His day may :
not have been so sincere, so efficient
in human activity, nor so well stocked
with simple, everyday righteousness as
is the average church of our own
time; yet it was his custom to enter
the synagogue on the Sabbath. He
observed the feasts of the nation's
church. He utilised the opportunities
it offered for moral effort. And this
same Jesus, near the close of lii* life,
sent his apostles ‘to disciple all na
tions and to baptise them in the name
of the Father, anil of the Ron. and
of the Holy Ghent.’ The only place
where this command is being taken
seriously is in the church of Christ.
This same Jesus instituted the Lord's
Supper and said. This do in remem
brance of me.’ The church is the only
place where this command is being
regularly and devoutly observed. There
must be a certain confusitfc in the
minds of those who praise Christ and
then denounce the church aa a need
less incumbrance. I
“Jesus announced in definite terms'
his purpose to build a church. He
saw many coining and going who held
various theories about him and bis
work; but there was oae close by
him who loved him, trusted him and
in a degree understood him. • In re
sponse to an inquiry from the Mas
ter. this man made a promising con
fession of his faith. In his personal
-attitude Christ saw the hope of the
future. In reply, alining' to Peter’s
name which means ‘a atone,’ Jesus
said. ‘Upon this rock of •personal loy
alty and trust I will build my church,
nnd the gatea of hell shall not prevail
againat it.’ ,
“Our text speaks of 'the Church of
the Living God.’ a body of psople sus
taining a special relation to Him.
They call the church the ‘pillar and
ground of the truth.’ It is the ‘house
hold of God’ the ’body of CbMst,' the
visible organism through whlA Christ
works.
The Church the Body es Christ.
f -The Church the body of Christ

New York, Nov. R.—<A*>—The cot- j
ton market opened steady today at a
dec!*ne of 5 points to an advance of
0 point*. Considerable Soiitnprn hedg-i
iug and further pre-Bureau liquidation ,
were absorbed by trade buying and
covering. }
Reports of II firmer basis on the bet- j
ter grades of cotton iu the South and
rumors of good buying orders iu the
market for execution on any decline
after the government report helped to
steady prices. January contracts af
ter selling off to 12.27 at theopening,
worked up to 12.37, the general
market ruling about 5 to 8 points net
b’giier in the first hour.

New Orleans. Nov. B.—OP)—The
government crop forecast of 17.ft18.000 1
hales wfts smaller than expected, but ,
the total ginning* to November Ist :
w*s larger than looked for. The first
effect on the market was almost neg
ligible as prices eased off only 7 to 13 j
points on active near months, and
showed little or no change on distant I
positions. First trades after the re-j
port were down front the pre-Hnrenu i
figures and 5 to 10 .points above Sat
urday’s clow.
Prices Held Steady.
New York. Nov. B.— UP) —ln the
face of the latest government crop es
timate increasing the indicated produc
tion to the unprecedented total of
nearly 18,000,000 bales, cotton prices
held remarkably steady on the New
York market today.
Before publication of the figures cot
ton was selling about $1 a bale high
er than at the end of last week. South
ern selling which followed the report
cancelled a part of these gains, but.it
was fairly well absorbed by large buy
ing orders from the trade which had
been placed in anticipation of another
sharp break. Prices at noon ranged
from 12.27 tor December contracts to
12.02 for March, representing net gains
of 5 to 8 points.

question on cross-examination as to l
the name of a girl companion in lb 1 )
Hussey’s Lane tbe night of the slay- j
ing of the Rev. Edward TV. Hpll and i
Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
Khrling lost his first bout with se-i
sense counsel when he was required
to give the name of the young woman
who shared ‘.lis automobile with him.
but could not spell it. ‘‘Piiblie pol
icy' - came to the rescue of the har
assed witness when the defense in
sisted further that the "girl" be more
definitely identified by tile giving of
her married name. The court rufrtl
that the name she bore nt Pie time
she visited De Rnssey’s I.ane was sUf- i
fieient.
Khrling. plainly worried when he,
took the stand, apparently was near)
panic when defense counsel continued
to press him for the name of his
companion.
"It was a girl,” and later "she was
a woman.” lie said, and when Prose
cutor Simpson attempted to lend a
hand by suggesting to Pie court that
there might be a valid reason for with
holding the imme, Khrling eagerly
seized the straw.
"Shq's married now, has two chil
dren and a husband," he said. "And
I refuse to give her name."
"You most," ruled Justice Parker.
“Yes, give the name. The court
says you must,” added Mr. Simpson.
"Jennie Lenford” was the mumbled
reply. ;sl jf
Bohn? H. McCarter. of‘ deMW
counsel, pressing for the name of the
husband to identify h er aa °* today,
was stopped by the court's declaration
that it,was against public policy to
pursue the matter to such an extent.
Khrling had testified that with his
(tirl companion he wns in Pie lane the
night of the double slaying for about
two hours. He said that lie saw
Mrs. Gibson, the "pig woman.”
Khrling laid testified that with this
Mrs. Gibson, the "pig woman” there
astride her famous mule. The time
he spent in the lane was fixed by the
witness at about two hours, between
8:30 o'clock and 11 p. m. He heard
no shots, but two automobiles pass
ed down the lane about 30 minutes be
fore he lfft.
The questioning was believed to be
for the purpose of bringing Ehrling's
companion in as a witness in an effort
to refute his testimony.

"DAVY” CROCKETT WEEK
Week Beginning Today to be Observed
for the Famous Hero.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 8. —In trib
ute to "Davy” Crockett, famous pio
neer and hero of the Alamo, Teunes
aee. his native state, is to Pie
■ week beginning todny tks "Dnvi|l
F CtoeSeft Week" by' proct|m»Htm ; of
1 ‘Governor l’eay. upon the suggestion
of the Tennessee chapter of the Daugh
i ter* of tbe American Revolution.
1 It was in the village of Limestone,
on the Nolliohucky River, in eastern
i Tennessee, that David Crockett was
' bom in 1780. His father, w)io was
of Irish descent, had Wen a soldier
of the Revolution. David’s boyhood
was spent in the fields and woods and
1 his education wns so entiregly hegleet
' eil that he could neither read nor
1 write until his nineteenth year. At
1 the age of 12 he became a drover, and
‘ in 1818, at the breaking out of the
Creek war, 'ae volunteered ill the ser
vice, fighting bravely until its close.
In 1821 he wns elected a representa
tive of Tennessee legislature and was
1 again elected in 1923. attracting at
i tention by his quaint wit and kqcn
powers of perception. This led to
his election in 182 ft as a representa
tive ill the Twentieth Congress, and
he was returned to the two subse
' qnent congresses. Meanwhile he made
a canvassing tour in the interest of
■ Andrew Jackson, his former command
er and personal friend, stumping the
. northern and eastern states and creat
. ing much amusement and interest by
. his eccentricities in dress and manner
and bis effective stories of his wild
adventures.
He was a candidate for the Twen
ty-fourth Congress in 1(5)4, but n\v
. ing to his opposition to Jnckson's In
. dian bill, he was defeated by a small
I majority. His popularity while in
i Congress was due largely to his won
, derful power aa an extemporaneous
I spenker. and his npt expressions were
. quoted long after their author was
. dead. On one occasion he turned the
noise made by a flock of guinea fowls
, to good acount during his canvass of
j east Tennessee by stopping in the
, midst of a speech and exclaiming;
, “Listen, gentlemen ! the very fowls are
* halooing for Crockett, Crockett, Orock
f ett!”
In 1834 he removed to Texas, where
he espoused the cause of the Texans
ill their struggle for independence. 11l
j March. 1836, he joined the force of
, 134 men In the defense of the Alamo.
and was one of the six who survived
, the merciless slaughter, surrendering
to Santa Ann, and were shot by hi*
orders on the game day. The date!

of his death was March 6. 1836.
The familiar saying, "Be sure you’re
right and then go ahead,” was original
wipi David Crockett.
He emblazoned this bit of homely
advice on his banner when he set out
to win the heart of his first love,
Polly Findley, the bine-eyed Irish
Fortune favored his quest, and the
two were married in 1806. In 1810’
the Crocketts settled ill the Beans!
Creek section of Tennessee. Their I
homestead, in a beautiful valley lying
snug against the foot of circling moun
tains that embrace Hatchett’s Cove,
provided a happy hunting ground.
Crockett's fame as n boar hunter,
there in the virgin forest, grew apace.
The young couple and their two girl
babies wore very happy. But dark
clouds hovered overhead. Ere long
David was called to fight the Creek In
dians. Mrs. Crockett, at home, lived
through dreary weeks and months of
waiting. Dread of savages and of
prowling wild animals undermine,l her
health, and she died soon after her
husband's return. Stricken with grief,
he buried her there in the woods; and,
since no marble cutters were at hand,
he heaped some poor slabs of stone
to mark her grave.
