ASSOCIATED PRESh CROWDS GROWING LARGE AS THIRD McLendoh Revival Swinging Into"Stride" By Leaps and Bounds; "Sail On" is Sermon Sunday Afternoon EVANGELIST GOES A HUNTING Cyclone-Mack's Tarboro's revival! wings tomorrow into its third week with the attendance and interest mounting by leaps and bounds. His bombastic, sardonic, wither ing word picture of the devil, at times highly humorous, was heard last night by an audience smaller by only a few hundred than the throng of more than 5,000 that heard his own story Thursday night. The campaign is rapidly getting its stride. With the opening of the -third week it promises fulfillment of the McLendon prophecy that there will be a real spiritual revival in the town. Last night's requests for prayers ran above three hundred, ex clusive of scores and scores of little children who sought the evangelist's hind. Three Services Here Sunday. Sunday will be the biggest day of the campaign so far. It will be fea tured; classically speaking, by the most beautiful sermon in the McLen doh repertoire, "Sail On." At the night service he will preach on "What Sin Is Doing for the World." At 1 1 ' o'clock Sunday morning he will ..'preach to. the negroes at Dr. Thurston's church. .... -s.: t r '"' Tonight Mack is going to preach on "Salvation." The Saturday af ternoon service was abandoned be cause ho many folks who have been able to attend on other week days cannot get away from business on Saturday afternoon. Mack seized the opportunity for a real hunt him self and' after donning a thick coru roy suit at 10 o'clock last night, with Joe. Pennington, Henry Patrick and other sportsmen, .left for an all night coon hunt. HP retu-ned at day, picked up en uvbrcont and drove nearly to Orcenvillu .where, he joined a fox chase-and attended a barbe cue. He returned shortly after the noon hour and went to sleep. Bib Metro Service Montfy Nifht. With the musical director of Cof fin University here to lead the sing ing,' and a number of leading negro preachers over the State coming, the irreate3t evangelistic service for ngroes ever held in North Carolina will be put.jjnrat the tent Monday night. Mack will do the preaching. The right section of the tent will be reserved for white people who care to attnd One of the connoting signs of the growing revival has been the morn ing prayer services in Tarboro homes under Miss Palmer's direction. Beginning with six when the meet ing 'opened here, the number has in creased -until more' than thirty are being held daily in addition to the central prayer meeting for business folk at the Colonial-theater' each day at noon. In his sermon on "The Devil," Mack said in part last night: Last Nifht' Sermon. "In the Bible we read that God created all things that are in Heaven and that are on the earth, but the . devil has not always been a devil. We read of orchangles in the Bible and we read of a being by lhe name of Lucifer and it seeme that this being had the pre-eminence, or, in other words, the ascendancy above the other angels, Michael or Ga brie'. Then we read in the 12th chapter of Revelations where there was a war in Heaven and a great host of angle was scat out, and in Judge the 6th verse we read where the angles kept not their first es tat, but left their habitation, and in Peter's second letter we read where God spared not the angles to tin, bat east them out. We read WEEK OPENS where Jesus' disciples returnea tmm their evanffellBUC wur nnu were rejoicing because devils were subjected under them to behold Satan as lighting falln from Heaven. "Now we see where the ang'es kept not the first estate, where God did not spare them that sin, and where they fell frfom Heaven. Now what was the cause of Satan being cast out? "Turn with me to Isaiah the 14th chapter and read, "How art thou fallen from Heaven, 0, Lucifer, a son of morning: how are thou cut down to the ground which did weak en the nations. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into Heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit also upon the mount of congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the most high. The Scrip tures fhow that the devil his demons were among the angles created, with Michael, Gabriel and the great mul titude but fell from their exalted position through pride and love of power. "The devil is a powerful spiritual being, but not omnipresent (present everywhere) he is able to move as swift as thought and has a host of helper!. We have a lot of lase teachers today that are telling us that Satan is just the principle of evil that comes from within an ab stract principle of evil and that he is not a person. Just as God is a person and Jesus Christ is a person and the Holy Ghost a person and you nre a person, so is the devil. He is not an ethereal! something floating around in tfic air, or a mere sentiment. "The Book says that hell was pre pared for Satan and his angles and if you go to hell over these sermons and thc songs of the people and the commands of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and the striving of the spirit and the teachings of the scrip tures and the solicitude of your friends and the tears of your mother, you will go to hell as an intruder, because hell was not prepared for vou. but for the devil, and his tf ... r ...... . . . angles. 'James, in writing to the 12 tribes, tells them that the devil is orthodox, being that he believes and that is more than the majority of your peopU do. Peter said, be vigi lant, because your adversary, the devil is a roaring lion. You can bet your life that the devil has not got cocomotor ataxia or creeping para lysis, pneumonia, gout or rheuma tism. He is on the job, he is ever lasting at it, and working just as hard to damn this city of Jesus Christ is to save it. All the titles of Satan only imply personality. Notice some of them: 'God of this world' (2d Cor. 4:34); "The prince of this world' (John 14:30); 'A wicked one' (Matt. 13:19); 'A liar,' 'The father of lies' and 'A murderer' (John 8:44); 'Ruler of the darkness of this world' (Eph. 6:12) and 'Temper' (Matt. 4:3). So you see th Bible does not agree with the old Ed. Russell, or Mrs. Eddy. "This light competitive speech 'that we hear in regard to the devi'. is fully unwarranted. There is no being in Heaven, earth, or hell that has mare power than God Almighty himself. In Judges 86.9 we read where the archang'es and the devil contended for the body of Moses and the angles said, I will leave thee for the Lord to rebuke. It seemed that '.he devil had more power than this great archangle. He has power to deceive, and no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an agle of light When we see the picture of the devil on the wall he is dressed up in the horns and hoofs and is caricatured as a hideoue monster, but the Bib'e says the devil is good looking. It says that his heart was lifted up because his beauty, and th wisdom of his brightness, and that he had more power than the Prophet Daniel. One of the ways that he deceives men is a spiritual way nnd that is the reason that we' have ro many pudding-headed, dough faced pikers going around preaching (Continued on Page Two) RED CROSS FUND STILL FAR BEHIND The Red Cross drive is not meet ing with the Hearty response that their cause demands. Two afternoons ago, three young ladies of the town went from one end of the business district o the other, into every for.' and thev did not secure a single subscription to the roll call. It is certain that every citizen in the Stores visited were not members of th Red Cross for the coming year, Many citizens feel that jvhen they paid a dollar to the Red Cross two vears ago, or last year, that they are members of the organization for life. A dollar makes one a member for one year only. To become a life member it is necessary to join for f 50 and every cent of that amount goes to the national organization. The Red Cross drive will not of ficially close until satisfactory re sults are obtained and if necessary wil be continued through the official date for closing, Thanksgiving day, until satisfactory results are ob tained. The necessity of keeping the county nurse is evident and believed to be a good cause by all, but more subscriptions are necessary to main. tain the department. Will not the people of Tarboro come forward and each one see personally that they bebecome a member of the Red Cross and subscribe as libera'ly as possible. N. C. LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION. The North Carolina Live Stock Association will hold its annual ses sion at Elizabeth City on Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2. More than one hundred delegates attend these annual meetings, and Tarboro can secure one ofe these meetings if the town wants it. There is nothing greater that could come into any town or county, that would stimulate the cattle rais ing than the gathering of these men who are personally interested in this business. What says the Chamber of Com merce ard the Kiwanis Club? BOLDT L Hamburg, Germany, Nov. 19. Former Lieut-Comdr. Boldt, who was convicted of manslaughter for having the life boats of a Canadian hospital ship fired upon after the vessel had been torpedoed in 1918, escaped from prison in Hamburg, where he has been since the trial. Boldt was tried and convicted by the German government and placed in the Hamburg federal prison to serve the sentence. He escaped to day and no clue of his escape or his whereabouts has been secured. The officials have started searching par ties out in hopes of returning the prisoner to Hamburg, where he will have another hearing and probably receive an extension on his sentence.

The pre cise attitude of Japan is becoming more ind more the big interrogation point in the arms conference between- the delegates, of the nine na-t-'ons assembled again to talk about the Fr East matters. It was Japan to whom they look, ed for the hint that would reveal just what trend is to be taken by the negotiations as they -t affect i China. . . t LAGGING NTERES REVVED IN Ml 'S (REV. BERAM E. BROWN) Let us walk honestly, as in day: Romans, 13:13. the This sermon shall be about hon esty. There are so many various ways of being dishonest, that we must narrow down our definition of it to one particular kind. For in stance, you can be dishonest with yourself, or with other men or with God; you can be so in your heait, or in your, acts; you can be so in your talk, or in your silences; you can be dishonest in the use of your time, or your love, or your service, or your mone. You can be dishonest and at the same time honestly think you are honest. You can even be honest, and through a distorted con science, think you are dishonest, like the young man in New York recent ly, whose conscience would neither let him keep or give away a million dollars his father left him, because he had not earned it himself. You can be dishonest with good inten tion, like a preacher who makes up an anledote and tells it as some thing that really happened; or you can be honest with evil intent, like the candid friend who tells you an unpleasant truth hoping to make you iea. oaa, or stir up trouo.e. so, as there are so many varieties of rascality, we must confine ourselves to the subject of dishonesty in the matter and property or money. 1. The most usual form of dishon esty, jnd the wickedest, is keeping for yourself possessions that other people need more than you do. It is he basest form of dishonesty be- :ause it is the safest. The burglar or he pickpocket runs some risk of laving to pay for his ill-gotten gains by enforced labor, but the selfish and stingy man who will not share his property with God or his needy 'ellowmon, thinks he is playing safe n his tin. 2. Gambling: that is dishonest, iven if played according to the fair ules of the game, for three rea sons: a. It is an effort to get some- hing for which no equivalent re urn -,f labor or value is given. (b) It is an attempt to get pleasure rnd profit at the expense of another man's loss and pain, (c) It is an ef fort to get possession of another nan's property against his will for ilthough the loser goes into the ?ame voluntarily, it is the bitterest )f pills to him to see the winner locket the gains. 3. Not paying back borrowed property: No dishonesty sits more lightly on the sinner'is conscience '.han that; in no sin is the sinner's nind more ingenious in finding ex cuse than in that. God once gave a prophet power to work a miracle suspending one of nature's most rigid laws in order to send back to .ts owner a borrowed axe. 2 Kings, 6:5. 4. Plain stealing: That seems to ne a most infamous sin indeed, be cause somebody stole my automo bile Thursday night. That car had been used for over two years, and not one single time for either profit or pleasure, not once, but for no ther purposes than to take people to church, or to carry help to sick people, or take patients to the doc tor or the hospital, or carry sorrow ing people to the burial of their lead. It was sent out to the County Home to bring peop'e in to the re- rival that night, and as a result of that use of it, somebody stole it. And there is no earthly prospect of my ever having money enough to get another. Washington, Nol 19. Negotia tions between Henry Ford' and the government officials over Mrv Ford's offer for the "Muscle Shoals power plant has come to a sudden halt. This matter will be considered iry a conference at a later date, THE SOUTHERNER SATURDAY SERIN EXPERTS HARD AT WORK WAR BE MADE DIFFICULT Public Don't Want Put Stop HUNTING PARTY CATCHES 'TWO COONS, TWO FOXES The hunting party for Cyclone Mack, returrig at noon today, brought back two mnni or, j two foxcg and by the testimony , of the evangeJis-t himself re- ported the pistol killing of a whoopirg-big hawk early this morning. Henry Patrick, Mack's all- time hunting companion and man of many parts, killed the big bird with a 38-calibre pistol, shooting from a distance of ap- proximately 25 yards. The first shot wounded and the second shot killed the hawk. The coons were caught last night, Mack and "Pat" return- ing here at daybreak and '.eav- ing immediately to join in the fox chase between here and Greenville. Joe Pennington and Will Fclton, of, of Tarboro, were in the party. &, BUSINESS WOMEN'S BANQUET. Thc banquets for busines8 men on Thurs.la,, nirht. anH for th,. ,;,.. and professional women on Friday night were a "howling" success and those who attended both functions are loud in their praise of the ladies who wee responsible for the delici ous meals. Mrs. W. W. Quinn was the general chairman of the refresh ment committee, and was ably as sisted by representatives ..from the various churches. The s-irls camn pouring in last night from all direc - tions and soon the Kiwanis hall was nicely filled with chattering femin inity, ' . After the supper Miss Palmer told the story of the writing of the poem, "The House by the Side of the Road," and Mrs. John Pender sang it in a soulful way to thc tune of "A Perfect Day." Mrs. Goode, the pianist of the party, who has been doing much fine work n Tarboro, both in the meet ings in the tent and in the homes in town, charmed the audience with a piano solo, followed by a piano- !ogue ontitied) "Foolish Questions," and was obliged to respond to an encore. This time she gave a reading entitlel, "How to Manage a Hus band." Mr. Jones, who has won the hearts of the people of Tarboro by his genial manner and who is considered one of the finest leaders of song that Tarboro has ever been privileged to follow, was unable to take any part in the program on account of hoarse ness, but many of the girls decided to join the choir and help with the musical part of the work from now on. The Rev. Mr. Laps'.cy, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, made a splendid address which was full of wit and humor and was all too short for those who were present and who enjoyed it immensely, but he was detrm'ned to make his speech in thc tim specified five minutes. At the close of his message he introduced Mr. McLendon, who told some most interesting snatches of his life story including his love affairs, how he met his wifef, wooed and won her, and how che has helped him through the years. . . After the program the girls form ed in "ine, Miss Ora Lee Brown and Mrs. Umstead, taking the lead and marched in a body to the tent where seats were reserved for tnem and where they all enjoyed a stirring message. The many friends of Dr. L. E. Norflest will be glad to learn that he is much better after several days of sickness. To Save Money, Bu To War By F. HUNTER CREECH. Washington, Nov. 17. The navl experts of the various powers a hard at work in closed committi meetings. They are trying to pr: pare a report for submission to t conference at an early date. It be comes more apparent that the BrfV ish will insist upon a more drasfc - naval limitation than that propose: in the Hughes' speech. 1 -me vu nre xmiign delegation cors poses a special committee th! ' meets each day for the consideration of all problems from the Britittv point of view. British technical e perts are also in attendance upc these meetings. Yesterday they dif cussed naval armaments with a vief to determining the British policy, i They wil! probably insist upon I definite limitfltinn a ..k.n:.l contending that the conference Waf not called for th0 purpose of mal4 ing wir as cheap as possible, bul rather, to make war as difficult a' possible thereby lessening tbib chances for war. This view will ap' peal to the American people. Thl American public, undoubtedly, be lievos that the object of this confer! ence should be, not to save monejf' but, '.o put a stop to war. China is reported to have offerei a complete program for the Far?' East, and Secretary Hughes is re-' ported to have reaffirmed .the "open! door" policy. The entire Oriental' ! situaMon . involved, and al! cxist- ing treaties and covenants will prob- ably be brought in for Overhauling. Premier Briand will likely bring & .,e tuiuci euce at an early i. date the question of land armaments. tie w:ll hardly submit a program, fU....1. 1. ....... . S& IIC, uuuuuess, ns one DUS will likely stress the military reeds of Franee. . lhe question of land armaments will ,'nvolve many things, and there are those who may try to tack on to them the economic and financial sit uation of the world. Mr. Hughes has repeatedly stated that the financial discussion must not be brought into the conference. However, large holders of European war securities whose values have depreciated with depreciated European currency undoubtedly would like to inject the matter into the conference, with a view of tricking America into un derwriting their almost worthless se curities aad, in effect, push off on to America the war debt of Europe. It is to be hoped that Mr. Hughes, and the American delegation will stand firm against any proposition that might develop into such a situation. The organized farmers of the country desire disarmament. Charles A- Lyman, secretary of the national board of farm organizations, has is sued the following statement: Farm ers perhaps more unitedly than any other group favor reduction of arma ments. The national board has re peatedly stood out against compul sary military training, believing it an incentive to war. Whi!e there must be adequate protection for na tions as for individuals, farmers be lieve soT,e method for avoiding war ai. , J ised and look upon 'this council as a significant and hopeful sign of the future." ' . EDGECOMBE FARMER jIE3 .AT HIS HOME NEAR fINETOPS " 'W Mr. Levy E. Edwards, a prominent Edgecombe farmer, died a his home' near Pinetops yesterday,' and will be buried this afternoon at S'c'ork in the family plot near Pinetops.
