Spencer, Mr. "Peyton Elba and others organized a Methodist Men's Club. Since its . first Organization this dub has done good work in the Co. netoe section, artdyt has the sympa- thy and support not only of the mem bars of the? church but those who were r.pt-members. . Several 'weeks ago Mr. Spencer, Jhe president of the' club, conceived the idea of having a big neighbor borhood rally and invited the men Of the community to a session of this . club. . . . .' ' After much Work he at last secur ed a promise from Dr. W. L. Glaze- j brook of Washington City to' come to Conetoe and make a speech. : (,.Mr. Spencer had read, of the work of Dr. Glazebrook in the News and Observer and so Dr. Glazebrook came - i . .. .... tp Conetoe yesterday. Notwithstanding the very inclem- Bt weather, the school building was well filled and there were more than ido meif and women present; to hear the .address. ' ' (At one o'clock there was served in the wings of the. Conetoe school one of those Conetoe dinners that nobody else in the world can serve like them. Three large table were set in the eapt-wing of the building and on the t shies were barbecue, slaw,' biscuits. cyrnbread, pickles, . and. Brunswick stew. After dinner the crowd was in vited t a the, auditorium' of the high school.' The meeting of the club was called to order, by Mr, Ppencer, who asked Mr. Smith to; present to the audience Mr. Bertram -Brown who ' woul(f ThtroducVtlie speaker.. ' No man could have said any more beautiful or kinder things about an other than did Mr. Smith say about ' sir. Brown. He spoke of Mr. Brown's great work in this county and of his beautiful Christian character. He said . he was the most beloved minister in the county today. . Mr. Brown's introduction of Dr. Glazebrook was Very unique and in teresting. Ho told the audience about the last time he "was in Conetoe was at a service in the upstairs of a build ing on the main street and his audi ence consisted of women altogether, and whtyi he asked where the men were, they said the men folks were off that morning at a gypsy camp BsVing their fortune told. Mr. Brown congratulated tha community upon its great improvement in educational and other ways and stated it was a ready pleasure to be with them. He . i . . .... introduced Dr. Glazebrook as a phys ician of the body art well of the soul nd told of the great work the doctor Was at this time doing all over the Country. He is chief surgeon of the Washington City Street Railway Co. He is a very busy man at home, but takes time off to work for his Master. The editor of the Southerner can truthfuHy-jwy that Dr. Glazebrook "is the only jnan-hehas ever heard that could talkabouf himself for one nour and atUI. hold'the strict atten tion of his audience from the begin jiing till the last yrari. But Dr. Glaze brook did this yesterday at Conetoe. What he said"' was not a discussion of religion or a dissertation on any theological subject or cfeed. He told the story of iis life, plainly and sim ply so that every one could under stand everything he said. And even with this personal story he was not egotistical. It was not the doctor who . was speaking but His Master through him, and' in hia life that made the earnest appeal to his hearers. -' i The nialn thought around which - he wov his story wa the indiffer ence of the average man to the 'ehnrches bf the living God. He told how e was broaght up in a Chris tian family, of hia present home life, j He hld hfv be became indifferent to . FRENCH AIRPLANE :u ' V . FELL IN ENGLISH CHANNEL FOLKESTONE, Eng.; June 3. : A French airplane flying from London to Paris today fell in the English channel.

Our people as a general thing are not familiar with the splendid work that is being done by the sanitary department of the Edgecombe county health office. A report of L. G. Whit ley, chief sanitary inspector for the state, shows that this work is being well handled and much improvement is being made in the way of sanita tion in this country. This report, in part, shows the following: ' Sanitary rating September 13, '21, 64.2 per cent. Sanitary rating April 20, '22, 75.8 per cent. ; This indicates that improvement in sanitary conditions throughout the county improved nearly 12 percent from September, 1921, to April, this year. With this work still going on, Edgecombe county will be as near perfect in this respect as any county in the state. This is one of the rea sons that sickness and especially ty phoid and malaria have been so greatly reduced by the county health department. Our people should work in cooperation with ' the health de partment thereby making it easier for them to reduce diseases which are preventable. Both-the department as a whole and Mr. Walker deserve much credit for this splendid show! ttle--hurclrn grew from year'to year cold and thoughtless of the vows he once took at the altar of church. But there came a time in his life when he became a chancgd man and after that time he told of the work he was trying to do for his Master and his presence at Conetoe yester day proved all his words true, as he is doing telling work all over the country. . '. ; Though Dr. Glazebrook is a very busy physician at home, yet he finds time now and then to leave his bus iness and go put in the World and tell the men of his country about the Master and try to lead them to a bet ter and higher life of service and happiness. , The Methodist Men's .Club wish publicly to thank Dr. Glazebrook for his splendid address, for they realize it will do great good in their com munity.

To find a nee dle in a haystack is popularly sup- posedto be a feat so difficult that u.e u , Ki..i -T- complishment would be something like a million to one. Yet a feat that to the ordinary man would appear, if anything, still more difficult, has re cently.: been accomplished in Jeru salem) according to newspapers pub lished there. It was nothing less than Vi u f w! ! n (T rt f u tianrlo )l i ,1 I Tl in'.Tp- . - ........... rusalem, and with no clue to its whereabouts of which the five senses could take cognizance, except that it was hidden "somewhere" in the city. This was done by Dr. Hanossen, who claims to be possessed of some thing more than the usual five senses and to be endowed with a mysterious psychic" faculty by means of which he can read thoughts and find out things that cannot be discovered by means of mere sight or hearing. The finding of the needle was accepted as the proof of his claim and he was awarded 100 pounds sterling. He found the needle within 25, minutes, excluding the time taken to reach the place at concealment. ::.. ' A committee was appointed to su pervise the test and to see that there was nothing of a "put up job" about it.." The committee consisted of sev eial journalists, some policemen and an expert in nervous diseases. Dr. Hanossen was secured in a house and a guard placed over him. Then the members of the committee set forth ir. motor cars, one of them carrying the needle. Several streets of Jerusalem were traversed. Cars and drivers were changed on the way and then, by a cicuitous route, the lunatic asylum was reached. There behind a por trait of Sir Herbert Samuel, the nee dle whs hidden. Then the committee .retujnsdrt$.th":,hue in which Dr, Hanossen had been left and released him. " , - .' ' ' In n motor car, accompanied by the committee he started out to find the needle. In the course taken the driver followed his directions After passing through many streets Dr. Hanossen left the car and proceeded on foot to the asylum. Arriver there, with hardly a moment's hesitation, he made for the portrait and found the needle. The proceedings aroused enorm ous interest in Jerusalem. A crowd i of several thousand persons awaited' the result of the test and cheered j when Dr. Hanossen s, success was announced. BAPTIST MEN ENTERTAIN WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY On Friday night the Baptist Men's Club were hosts to the Ladies Mis sionary Society- of the church. Since the organization of the club several months ago, the ladies of the church have served the dinner for the club at each of its meetings and this en tertainment arranged for to show the appreciation of their efforts and service and loyalty to the club. About 50 ladies were present and a sumptuous dinner was served in the club room at beautifully appoint ed tables. It seeWd a little unusual for the ladies to be the guests of the men, who arranged every detaij and also served the dinner, and was an event that will long be remembered by all present After dinner the ladies discussed in detail the new phases of the mis sionary work that has recently been undertaken by them and several good talks were made by the members. At a late hour they adjourned, loathe to separate from the happy occasion of the evening and voting the club ideal hosts. " Col. Frwl Oldt Har Today. Col. Fred Olds of Raleigh was in I town for a few hours this morning, on his way from Plymouth. Colonel Olds told the Southerner he was pre paring an article for the Orphans Friend to be entitled "The Tarboro Southerner 100 Years Ago." This ar- tide will also be published in the Southerner soon.- -' . . v CLUE OR GUIDANC COOPERATION NOW PRACTICED EN THE E STOCKHOLM, June 3.Coopera- tion and scientific management have reachod the kitchen in Scandinavia .

These housewives' unions have ex erted considerable influence in deal ing with servant questions and reg ulating market prices on necessities. Thus the Swedish League during the war and during the hard times fol lowing established cooperative stores and formed buying associations that exercised a strong regulating effect on the price level of household ne cessities especially foodstuffs. . The congress just closed adopted resolutions to arrange for a vaca tion course of instruction in domes tic science and other matters affect ing the home at the Aas Agricultural School in Norway, where students will receive instruction in various household duties under capable in. structors and Will witness demonstra. tions of the latest methods of run ning a modern home. Mrs. Agnes Ingelman, president of the National League of Swedish Housewives, said in an address to the delegates that women nowadays hiffe te keep in touch with politics, public .administration and legislation affect ing the home.- They must get to gether, she said, and work for the safeguarding of the home, as for in stance in its building and fitting up, in arranging home exhibitions and stimulating public instruction in do mestic sciences and in. establishing employment bureaus, libraries and day nurseries, 312 SPEAKERS BEFORE HOMEOPATHIC INSTITUTE CHICAGO, June 3.

Coal at f 76 a ton is to have the price cut in half by native cooperation at the norther most hospital in the world, according to announcement'made today by the Presbyterian board of home missions". The Presbyterian board operates this hospital at Point Barrow, Alas ka, and completed it recently under great difficulties. ' '" : "The Eskimos, already appreciat ing the worth of the institution, have volunteered to reciprocate by cutting the operation costs," the statement said. "The first step will be to mine 200 tons of coal for next winter's use at the hospital, using the native Eskimo labor at the mine set aside for; the natives at Wainright, 100 miles distant. The natives will freely transport this coal themselves by dog sledges, and expect to deliver it at $38 a ton less than former supplies brought from Seattle, The Presbyterian Board today an nounced a long list of native Eskimo contributions to the hospital. The list shows that while the natives Te-' tain their aboriginal names they sup plement them with Christian associa tion. Some of the contributions are: Kunzuskik, 15 pounds reindeer; Ma bel Kcrook, 16 pounds reindeer; Ned Nusunginya, 115 pounds reindeer; Amos Ekosek, 4 1-2 pounds reindeer; Jim Semigloak, 125 pounds reindeer; Nellie Taketak, 7 poands reindeer; Philip Paneowo and son Shirley, 9 pounds reindeer; Paul Kaveoluk, 5 pounds fish; Bruce Nakapigak, 14 pounds fish ; Helen Kagoaluk, 1 pair slippers.

The hair- dressing parlors where the same old comb and' brush encountered many heads each day without even the for mality of submission to soap and water, is a thing of the past, accord ing to Mrs. M. F. Baird of Chicago, a prominent member of the Ameri can Cosmeticians' Association. Today sanitation is the rule in an occupation to which, 15 years. ago it was a word without meaning, she asserted, and clean white aprons have supplanted dubious black ones. Improvement in safeguard? of pa-. trons' health has accompaniea an increase in the number of hair-dress ing and beauty parlors during the last ten years, she added, of from 2,500 to approximately 10,000, ex clusive of residential work done by 20,000 women, and the number is constantly increasing. 1 Organizations of persons engaged in hair-dressing and related work in clude, besides the American Cos meticians' Association, the National Hairdressers' Association, which will convene at St. Louis, Mo.. July 31- August 2. . Fifteen year afro," ead Mrs. Baird, "the operafcor,J hairdressing had never heard ol'teriliptlon and did not know chef Waning' of the word sanitation. WCincn leaned for- j ward over bowk to have their heads i washed and perched jp in barber chairs when they had a massage. The use of elictricity was limited. Today sterilizers are found conspicuously displayed in every booth, antiseptics are used generously, and massage chairs that are suited for the work have been designed, while in sham pooing many innovations have made it a comfort rather than a torture. School girls giving scientific training have been established and todaj in many states in the union there are efforts being made to have state laws passed that will put this work on even a higher standard. "To this end the American Cos meticians' Association was formed. The founders designed to promote uniform legislation for the profes sion of cosmeticians, to provide me thods of carrying on and systematiz ing the business of the membership, and to promote the development of the occupation." The National Hairdressers' Asso ciation, according to its secretary, Mrs. A. F. Cosgrove of San Francis co, is organized to create styles in America in artistic and . becoming head dresses; to see that the best wigs, toupees, and the like, are made; to have milliners see the size of head dresses before making head sizes in hats; aad in other" waye to promote and- elevate the . business of hair dressing and hair work. TAKE UP SANITATION THE CHURCHES SHE NOT EXEMPT FROM ST. E Since the assessments for the pav ing of the streets in front of the dif ferent churches of the ..town have been sent to these congregations for payment and, too, since advertise ments have appeared in the paper for the sale of the property for the as sessments, the question has been raised whether I ho i-l'urch property was exempt xi m a. jessment for street improvement. In order to get ne true status of the exemption matter as to churches the mayor instructed the city attor ney to write the attorney general for an opinion. Below is published a letter from the mayor to the South erner, also the letter received by Mr. Gilliam from the attorney general; "Editor Southerner: I understand that there has been some criticism of the town authorities in advertis ing certain church property in the town ' of Tarboro' for Unpaid street assessments. The board of commis sioners, on advice of the city attor ney, decided that they had no legal right to exempt this property and asked their attorney to get a ruling from the attorney general of North Carolina in the matter. "I am herewith enclosing copy of letter received from the attorney general which I' will thank you to publish. You will note under this, ruling the board has no discretion in the matter but must proceed as with all other property owners when the assessment is' unpaid. j "H. P. Foxhail, Mayor." "Mr. Don Gilliam: Your letter of May 29th is received. This office has not rendered the opinion which is re ferred to in your letter. On the con trary, we have (advised that church property was not exempt from assess ments for public improvements un less the act of the legislature au thorizing municipalities to make these public . improvements contains the exemption from the assessments. The exemption-: franwr-taKatHnc .-cnn-: tained in the state constitution and withiri the legislative discretion does not, in my opinion, -extend to assess ments for local improvements. "Jaa. S.

When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all together with one accord in one place. Acts 2:1. Tomorrow is Whitsunday, or Pen tecost, the fiftieth day after Easter, the anniversary of the day the Ten Commandments were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, and after that, the day the Holy Ghost came down on the, heads of the Apostles. That was the beginning of the church. You will? notice that they were all together in , one place with one accord. The rea son why the Holy Ghost does not de- ecend now in the same abundant mea sure on the church is ecause instead , of being all in one place with one' aecord, they are separated with a great deal of discord in many places. This sermon shall be about various f weaknesses of the church, due to the fallibility 'of its "human agents. ' : 1. The church suffers from the inconsistent lives of so many of its members. It has always done so. Be- ,s fore it was a month old, Ananias and . Sapphira and Simon Magus, and no telling how many more, went wrong. But nothing can be done about it in the way of preventing it. From time to time efforts have been made ; by various branches of the church to . Tit... Kir nilf linwnrtllV . members, but without exception they all after a few years abandon the' practice. For one thing, it is too hard to tell a saint from a sinner, and in pulling up the tares men are apt to pull- up good wheat also, as Jesus said in His parable. And then again, turning people out of the church is ' a weapon that can cut both ways. If th sinners happen to be in the ma jority, they can turn out the saints, as has actually occurred many times1 in church history. The better plan is to consider the church as a hospital; for sick souls, where a sinner may .t be. nursed' and cjmwkTfcsit Maa,"'may -have its drawbacks, tut it is the best from a practical standpoint yet tried. ' '. 2. The church suffer from divi sions.; and antagonisms between dif ferent branches of itself. That is due in a great measure to the natural dif ferences between one man and an-, other. The truth is the same, dif ferent minds apprehend it different-, ly. Unless all Christians can find wis-, dom to , agree to disagree, there is no remedy for disunion. But as our wisdom increases with the passage of the centuries, it is reasonable to hope that we may at last attain such unity. ; 3. The church has various enemies, the , claims of worldly wealth ( and p'ride: the attacks .Of scientific dis--covery, which is forever thinking a" new truth must contradict an old one: conservatism which clings to worn out methods'; radicalism whicn grasps at untried and foolish meth ods; the state, which either refuses to give the church tbn-helo it ought to give, or gives it hei- j(t '.ought not to give. "' V But it is still the chtjrch, founded by the Holy Ghost of God: the church' for which Jesus diedi the bank in which God has put th truth man needs for his eternal peace: the one permanent and God ordained institu tion for the liftirfg up of, the soule of men from earth to heavens the moth er of civilization: the bride of Christ the Lord.
