Last night witnessed the beginning of
tL Haggard evangelistic campaign in
Gastonia; Possibly the largest crowd
gathered for this that has gathered for
any occaasion in the city. Long before
the hour for the-opening service, the big
tent was well filled and many were stand
ing on the outside. All seemed to bu as
eager us if they were attending some
thing of a more spectacular nature. The
tent seats nearly four thousand and tho
crowd last evening was estimated at five
thousand. They were there from, ull
over the county, Lowell, McAdenville,
Belmont, and all of the towns around.
The city was also well represented.
Nearly all of the churches were repre
sented. Many of the churches culled off
their services for tho evening and ircacti
ers with their congregations were in
crowd. It is felt that it murks the be
ginning of a great religious awakening
in Gastonia.
Mayor It. O. Cherry was present and
made a thrilling address of welcome.
This address struck our people very forci
bly. The address was followed by a
short talk by Eev. C. J. Black. He only
emphasised what the mayor had said ana
intensified the welcome to the immediate
community. The response was made by
Judge Kirby, of Gaffney, 8. C, the home
town of evangelist Haggard. J ud e
Kirby told of the wonderful work that
had been done in Gaffney by the evange-1
list now holding a meeting in the city.
Ho introduced the preacher in a most
thrilling manner. Haggurd then took
charge and preached a very appropriate
sermon from Acts 1:8. At the close ot
this sermon the preacher asked for thosj
who' would stand by tho meeting and
work for it that it might be a blessing
to the cuuse here. Hundreds of ilie con
gregation stood.
'.Tho singing for the campaign will bo
conducted by Prof. L. G. Sumner, lie is
an artist in bis line. Tho singing was
very fine last evening. While the book
was entirely a new one to the most of the
folks,' yet they sung as if they had been
using it all of their lives. The 'book they
are using is one prepared especially by
Huggafd for, his meetings. Ho wrote the
most, :6f ' the sdngs; ft in hoped to have
the largest and best choir that has ever
been in this city. Last uisrht betokened
just such a thing. Wc wish-all who sing
to come on time if possible for the open
ing, of the services each evening. Tivo
pianos are being furnished by the A. J.
Kirby Music House.
One of the most striking things no
ticed last night was the large crowd from
Gagncy. ' There were more than seventy
automobile loads of them, and in this
crowd were tho nifcst honorable citizens
of that city. The mayor, chief of polie,
bank presidents, wholesale and retail
merchants, and even the pastors of the
churches. This was one of the most no
ticeable things we have seen. The Hag
gard Club, as it is called, was present .ii
full force. This is an organization for
the propagation of the Hugggard meet
ings. They stund behind tho financial
part of tho outfit. They have recently
purchased a very large tent for this
work, and stated last night that if this
tent was not sufficient, they would pur
chase another. It was wonderful to see
how loyal theso people were to drive
thirty-five miles to bo present at tin I
opening of this campaign. J
The preacher gave a good old time gos
pel message, ono that showed ho was in
real earnest about what he was doing.
His message was not filled with slang us
is most of the modern evangelist's mes
sages. He went right after the teach
ings of the text aud upplied these teach
ings exceedingly well. Tho man's earn
estness will win whether he preaches so
well or .not. His soul is in the work,
and he is a good preacher.
tservices will continue for five weekes.
The services will be held at eight o'clock
each evening. There will be no eleven

be afternoon services at threo o'clock.

aged layman's death, and offered pray

FR. REGINALD TELLS WHY
PRIESTS DO NOT MARRY
Are Able to Give More Atten
tion and Solicitude to Worl
of God In Single State Thar
If Married.
The closing of the Catholic mission
drew a larger congregation than usual to
St. Michael's church last night. In his
sermon on the question: "Why don't
priests marry t" the Rev. Father Regi
nald took for his text the words of St.
Paul: "I would have you to be without
solicitude. Ho that is without a wife is
solicitous for the things that belong tc
Ood, how he may please God. But
he that is with a wife, is solicitous for
tho things of the world, how he maj
please his wife, and be isdivided. " (1
Cor. 7-32).
Tho preacher said that the Catholic
church did not always enforce the law ot
celibacy upon her priests, and that there
were parts of the world in which priesU
of tho Greek, Armenian, Syrian, Coptie
and other rites could still marry if they
wished to do so. Tho law of eelibabey
had been imposed upon the priests of the
Latin rite little by little; because Christ
and His Apostles, especially St. Paul,
had given them the example and tho ad
vice: because the church had found by
experience that unmarried prifcats'-were
more zealous and gave lcss scandal than
the" married ; and because 'unmarried
priests willingly met the hardships and
dangers of poverty, disease, plague and
death in the performance of duties,
which were feared and avoided by mar
ried priests and ministers burdened and
restrained by solicitude for their wives
and children. Few married ministers
would risk the dangers of disease and
deuth to attend to tho members of their
flock when stricken with contagious dis
ease; but no priest refused to faced those
dangers in the performance of hit
priestly duties to the sick and (lying.
During the deadly plague of influenza
many priests had contracted the disease
and lost their life in tho performance of
their duty in the homes of the stricken.
In the course of his sermon Fathei
Reginald said that a priest hail as much
right to remain a bachelor as any other
man, that many ministers remained
bachelors, because they wished to devote
themselves, like St. Paul, entirely to the
service of God, that there were more
scandals among the married ministers.

After the sermon a description was
given of a papal blessing bestowed hi
Leo XIII in St. Peter at Home, and
then by proxy the blessing was given to
tho members of the congregation.

With not a single arrest made since the
massacre of last Thursday, when at least'
19 men were killed after strike sympa
thizers stormed the Lester mine, and with
county officials making no visible effort
to place the blame, the investigating is
being done by State and Federal agents.
Representatives of the Department of
Justice, Department of Labor, the
State's attorney general's office, and
the adjutant general are quietly delving
into the cloak of secrecy which so far
litis surrounded the identity of tho 5,000
nien who marched from Herrin in broal
daylight, took more tlian 50 unurmed
men prisoners, marched them badi down
the road into a wood, and there killed
19 and wounded nearly as many more.
Yesterday six men of Williamson
county three miners, a merchant, art
electrician, and the superintendent ot
the Herrin water works were solemnly
impanelled, listened to the evidence of
witnesses called by Coroner William Mc
f'owon, and returned their verdict.
They found , and so recorded, that 0.

PARLIAMENT FACES STORM OF
PROTEST AT WILSON'S DEATH
LONDON, Juno 20. (By The As
sociated Press.) After tho funeral to
day of Field Marshal Sir Hccnry Wilson,
the government expected to face in par
liament tho storm aroused against it by;
the great soldier's assassination. ' .
The alleged failure of the government"
ta protect Sir Henry and other men in
piiblic life is only one of the charges its
opponents were to bring against the ado
ministration, back of this being tha
anger of one section of the House to
ward tho Irish policy.
Previous at temps to call the govern
ment to order on the latter count failed
I to produce the effect its enemies desired,
bu the present attack is more menacing .
iu bat it is ciaiibincd with censure on an
issuo which has deeply stirred the emo
tions of a great many of the luenrberes.
