FLASHES FROM LAST NIGHT'S SERMON The plea that "to be pure, all things are pure" is the language of unbridled license. You may have had a bad start but you will not be held responsible for the start but for the finish. If the church was as sacred of imperfection as it is of perfection we would bring on the coming of Jesus. A guilty conscience often leads to loud Hallelujahs. There is more real good in a cheerful disposition than there is in a pedigree running back to the Mayflower. Some people do not seem to see the difference between righteousness and Wiousness. The devil can behave as well as an angel when he finds it to his ad- More than five hundred men and women last night at the close of CycJone Maek'l, service left their seats, some from far back in the tent, and solemn-like moved up the aisles to grasp Mack's hand either to ask for prayers for themselves-or to J vantage hIpHitc their efforts to the end that) a rea" revival mav sweep Tarboro.

The (first 'demonstration of the Tarboro campaign came at the close of what many people think is the most powerful sermon the evangelist has yet preached. His subject was "Go to the Bottom," and save for the time whcn;the audience was in tittirs at his dramatization of some truism in hia sermon, it heard him jn hushed, silence. There were twenty-five prayer meetings this morning, other than the business meeting downtown at the mavor's nC.ce, which, Wednes day, was letter attended even than on the day previous. Mack's story of his own conversion, the most thrill ing in his repertoire of sermons, will be told Thursday night. Tt of Sermon Tuedy Nifht. "JThore is a lot of poor fe'lows in this city that have been corralled and lassoed and brought into the church without having been : 'born again. They know nothing of the new birth and as a resut they have no appetite for a soul saving cam paign. Some of them can give you beautiful, spread eagle oratory at conventions and banquets but when it comes to an evangelistic service to get people converted they are conspicuous by their absence. There are men and women in this city that make a Pike's Peak profession and you wauld think that they have monopolized on religion and yet they have not darkened the doors of this meeting where we are trying to get city to God. They are ike eggs, so full of themselves they haven't room for anything else, This evange listic campaign now going on in this city wl'l weigh a million pounds on some of you at the judment bar of God. 'Don't think that God is so busy managing worlds, throwing out plan ets, fixing stars and controlling the universe that He has not time to think of you. I believe if we knew how many men and women promi nent in the church, how many ushers who are smilingly seating the con gregation on the Sabbath, how many Sunday school teachers and mem bers of the choir and preachers in he pulpit have lost Christ out of their nearts the world would be hor rified. -.: "I do not mean to say they are living immoral lives but they have been more loyal to church work than to Jesus and the jealous God is grieved and gone. The dark, sad countenance we often see i nthe pw, choir and pulpit . Confirm what I say. it is never to oeiorgoiien inv it is easier to attend a society meeU You cannot tel! whether some people have religion or dyspepsia The man who knows that his house is built on tho sand never likes to hear it thunder. Good men arc hated because thei lives prove tpoinners that they are wrong. You ask me where hell is: :he end of a Godless life. It is at your knees with Christ. As much pastoral visiting and handshaking and smiling and bowing and teeth sxhibiUni: called the work of the Lord that amounts to nothing. Yes it's easier to pay a social visit than to wait with groaning on the Lord , "The jealous God sees how much mdertaken in His name deserves not he name and is simply a sop -thrown tut to ease conscience. It is happen ng today as much as in the time of :he Scribes and Pharisees that the temple is put in the place of the Lord, the "house and its services are xalted and the Lord of the House is let aside. Today some of the most ictiye church workers have the most superficial experience arjd some have lone, having lost it all by placing :he work above Christ and the tem ple above the Lord of the temple. "The unconsciousness of such oeople of the present real state is tressing things we are called to look Upon both in and out of the church today, It'seems that God has gone out of the hearts and lives, that is, iff He has ever been there, and they don't teem to know it. The devil has entered instead and isstanding by and looking down on their slum ber locked face and spirit drowsy life and they seem utterly ignorant of the change and they go on un conscious of the fact that they have been robbed but God knows when He is deserted and when you fall short of Him and forget Him. God knows when you are playing the slacker. "Lot3 of you people have Bibles on yo'ir table when the preachers call, as though you had been dili gently searching its pages, but yeu know that you have not opened it since the last death, birth or mar riage in your home. But you want him to think that you have. "You try to live a fraud and somewhere and somehow in some way the sheep will bleat and the oxen will low. Brothr, don't try te appear better than you are, or you wil hear the bleating of the sheep and the lowing of the oxen. God has a strange way of exposing frauds, showing up hypocrites and unearth ing skunks, and Samuel produced the proof. Saul said: 'I did not do it; it was the people.' That is human At the chapel exercises of the graded school Monday morning Mr. Lyn Bond made a talk in behalf of the Red Cross drive. He explained the purpose of the organization and i asserted that the muintainance of a Red Cross ;r.'.:sj for Edgecombe county depended on the local to ip eratiou ofl pus citizens. "Other organizations tuq neces sary to perform certain functions," declared Mr. Bond, "but none is so close to the people in their hour of need as is the Red Cross. The suffer ing caused by fire, storm and disease is alleviated more by the Red Cross than by any other human agency, Fifty cents of ever dollar we give goes to the national organization, the other half is used to pay the salary and expenses of a nurse for Edge combe county.

So vnueh crooked work has for the ast few yeais been going on by un licensed fraternal orders, and par ticu'arly among the negroes of the East, that we thought it proper to reproduce the following article from CHARGES ENGLAND IS TRANSPORTING WHITE' TROOPS Riga, Russia, Nov. 16.

J ance Department and and. official: Negro fraternal lodges, burial club and the like, long the favored theme of Octavius Roy Cohen and allied writers of short stores for the Satur day Evening Post and like journals, arc in for a serious business session with the grand jury in two score counties where they have flourished without the sanction of the State De partment of Insurance. Likely some of their grand senior worsh-pfuls will go to jail, in the opinion of Deputy Commissioner A. L. Fletxher. The laws says that these orders doing insurance business and giving death benefits must have li cense from the State, and only about one in seven hifs observed that for mality. The department has been in vestigating quietly for weeks, and yesterday it moved. Though knowing little of actual detail about these lodges, any white man or woman having a negro man or woman in employment, cannot but have observed the tremendous growth of interest in lodges in these latter years. 'They have spread among the negroes until, according to the re ports ' of investigators, in some lo calities,' a negro is in poor standing unless he belongs to seven or eight lodges. The xoll is tremendous. The week ly dues of one negro investigated amount to two-thirds of her weekly income, and every night of the week she musfcneeds attend a meeting of one of her seven lodges. She is promised a grand burial from each of them when she suffles off this mortal coil, and a little something for her heirs to squabble over. It is lKewise W'C wi-mc. - i activity. The investigation started home ;ks ago when a negro man in Wil- ngton, bereaved of his wife, found her lodge unwilling to pay him the $40 that had been promised him when she died. An inspector went down to, inquire into the matter for the wid ower, and found that she be'onged to seven lodge's, neither of which had any license to collect dues, and neither of which had any money in the treasury with which to pay claims. It had a'l been spent for spears and swords and trumpets and uni forms and gold " lace, with a little something for salaries to the pro prietors of the order. More investi gation deve'oped more lodges in that city, more than a score in ill. Branching out from there the inves tigation spread over the eastern part Corn of the State, where the same condi tions prevail. The department has not yet completed its inquiry, but it is estimated that there arc severe' hundred of them in the State, fleec ing the unwary. Some of them have been in exist ence for 35 years, and the officers have grown rich and the members poor. Most of them have charters from the Secretary of State, cun ningly worded with many technical pitfalls to be pleaded against c'aim- ants for the recovery of death cairns. Fev of them have ever gone to the length of taking out license, and submitting to deparmenta' su pervision, ana it is inese inai are to be prosecuted In the courts. The step is taken for theprotec- tion of the gullible members, and for the protection of fraternal in surance orders among negroes that news agency. Aboard a port which has already arrived at Vladivostok, states the agency, are 768 Russians, of whom 600 effectives are in British uniforms and formally served with Wrangel's or. Denikine's forces. i, Fumviali, I.sand of Madeira, Now. 1C. Former Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary and wife, exi'ed to Madeira by allies after recent at tempt tip regr-in the Hungarian . thr.iiie, ariivcd on British cruiser British military trans-i r riifr , . Ba'ii-hment of trouble-making former monarchs to islands of the sea far from their one-time domin ions is an uncommon procedure but future home in the mid-Atlantic. On November 4 the formes emperor, who had persistently refused to re nounce his hereitary "rights" was dethroned and the Hapsburg dynasty was ousted from Hungary by a law pas-ed by the Hungarian national assembly. Napo'eon's banishment in 1814 was no less bitter. The former Em press Josephine had died and his J A J" .

Wh.it to do with the thousands of Cossack and other Russian troops under the command of Gen. Baron Wrang?l who were thrown out of the Crimea by the bolsheviki and took refuge in and near Constantinople, has been one of the puzzles which has pe-'plexed the allied governments in Europe. In April last it was re ported that Wrangel had asked the French government to convey his men lo Vladivostok. wect mill The soviet government of Russia has been suspicious that the forces would be used somehow against the bolshevik government and urlig the past summer the official Russian new agencies have put forth several re ports that these troops were to be shipped to Vladivostok to aid the new b i and night to taxe the held in Siberia against the soviet government of the Far Eastern republic with headquarters at Chita. ira, is found in the historic case of Napoleon I, who passed six years on St. Helens in the souA Atlantic, 700 mi'es from the nearest land, a pris oner more than a century ago. St. Helena is not only much smaller than Madeira but, compared to the latter, is as "a deve'.'s island" to paradise. Five-sixths of its area is devoid of vegetation and, aside from an army garrison, there are no big towns or other evidences of life. Madeira, five times the size of St. Helena, is an ocean garden spot. Funchal, its chief city, has a popu lation of more than 20,000 and the island, one of a group of four own ed by Portugal, produces some of the most tamous wine and laces in the world as well as an abundance of fruits, grains and sugar. Oxxen are mainly used for agriculture, in stead of draft horses and oth farming methods are primitive. Les than 2 per cent of the people can read nd write. The Portugese military garrison is very small and Charles, Zita an their .s;x small chidren, if the allie powers permit, may have every free dom .xeept an unchaperoned ocan voyage. Napoleon was guarded day One of the reports was that Japan had airreed with Gen.. Wrangel to by soldiers. Madeira, the Portuguese word for "forest," is directly in the Atlantic ocean trade routes. St. Helena, British naval coaling station, often doesn't see a ship for days. Madeira is a nort of call and thus is kept in move his troops to Vladivostok and daily louch with the outside world that tho Russian soviet govvernment had lodged a protest against it. Since coming out of the Crimea, thousands of Wrangel's troops have been living in huts in extreme povrty on the Galipoli peninsula and the island of Lemnos in the Aegean sea, sustained by the hope that some time their services would be needed to reestablish a new government in Russia. MARKET REPORTS The i-iiand, 400 miles west of Mo rocco, has a temperate climate. It is 12 miles wide and about 35 mile long and elliptical in shape. Three other islands nearby complete the Madeira group. They are Porto Sonos which, with Madeira, have a popuation of 170,000, and the De sertas and Selvagens, two smaller islands of volcanic origin. The lat ter are uninhabitated rocky forma tions putting out of the sea. Wheat: Open. Close. May ...... 1.07 1-2 1.09 3-8 Dec. 1.04 1-2 1.06 2-3 Corn: Open., Close.

Numbers of lodges are in -good standing with the department, but many more, until recently unknown, are just now in exceeding ill repute, and headed to ward iue grand jury rooms in many counties. After the collapse of the Central Powers in 1918, Charles and Zita sought refuge in Switzerland where for three years, they lived with their children. Last March the for mer emperor attempted a coup d'etat by crossing the Swiss border and reaching the town of Stein amanger, Hungary, where with prominent monarchists he planned to enter Budapest. The plot failed and Charles returned to Switzerland. Again, on October 22 last, despite his "word of honor" given to the Swiss authorities that he would at tempt no further escapades,' the former monarch and his wife, dur ing : the dispute over Burgenland, flew in an airplane from Lucerne to Oedenburg and ultimately reached Raab, Hungary, where Charles was received by an armed party of roy alists. In a sanguinary.effort to enter Budapest, the Carlists were defeat ed. The former emperor and em press were captured and, finally, at the behest of the little entente, placed aboard a British monitor in the Danube. On : November 3, the former roya! pair sailed for their had gone from Fontainebleau to Vienna following the emperor's ab dication. Meanwhile the 1 al'jed powers had ceded to Napoleon 'the island of Elba in the Mediterranean and there as a "sovereign" he might have passed the rest of his life in peace and tranquility. Eleven months of retirement, however, suf ficed to spur him to escape and new adventures. He had been brought to Elba aboard the British warship "Daunt less" on April 20, with royal dignity and consideration. On the night of Feb. 2G, 1815, with 1,000 followers he slipped out of Porto Ferrajo and then began the famous "One Hun dred Days" in which he sought to regain the throne of France. He gathered strength in men and guns as he crossed the Alps and marched on Paris, but his reign as a "con- . stitutional monarch" Was or short duration. Great Britain, Russia, Aus tria nd Prussia declared him an outlaw and raised 150,000 troops to crush him. The lost battle of Water loo the following June saw the" end of his power. The former emepror threw him self upon the mercy of the British, failing in aa effort to flee to the United States. He made overtures to Capt. Maitland of .'he warship "Bell erophon" who took him to Plymouth, Eng., pending disposition of his case by the allied powers. It was finally decided to send him to St. Helena and there, guarded by a strong Brit ish force, he landed on October 17, 1815. For six years he lived in practical solitude, writing his mem oirs and monographs on military campaigns and political affairs, dy ing on May 5, 1821, of a cancer which had been aggravated by deep periods of hatred and depression. The British General Wilkes, the first governor of 'St. Helena, proved too lenient with Napoleon and "too amenable to his influence," and, as a result, was displaced some years before the Corsican's death, by Sir Hudson Lowe. INSPECTION SCHOOL CLOSETS. Mr. J. A. Walker, county sanitary officer, is busy this week making personal inspection of the school closets and sanitation throughout the county. The sanitary condition of the schools in the county is a very im portant matter and should be care fully guarded. The reports show the schools in good :hape. The old open-surface closets have nearly been dispensed with and the buildings are now equipped with modern conveniences. DISARMAMENT DELEGATES Washington, Nov. 16. Delegates to the disarmament limitation and Far Eastern conference ' held an executive session this morning as a committee of the whole to consider Far Eastern questions, with none apparently ready to present a Com prehensive plan for settlement. 5
