SAMUEL LANCE SERIOUSLY INJURED Samuel Lance, who lives on the Cedar Mountain road, about 9 miles from Brevard, had a very serious accidcnt recently. He has been very feeble for many years, and only able to walk with much difficulty. He fell in the fire place striking his head on one of the fire irons, inflicting a very serious wound, partially frac turing' the skull. He was resting very well at last report, but is not yet con sidered out of danger.

The moderator. Rev. C. E. Puett, was in the chair. Appropi’iate music w’as rendered including a solo by the Brevard choir. The report of the historian was read; the second division ,obituaries, embraced a list and sketch as far as furnished him of the dead of the past year. Remarks were made of loved ones and of those intimately known to the speaker. The writer spoke of the boyhood and early manhood of James Bracken, Ed Holtsclaw of his church life and W. H.

Glazener, familiarly known to his thousands of friends through out this and Henderson county as “Bud,” died at the Patton Memorial hospital at Hendersonville at twelve o’clock Saturday, October 25th. He was taken sick three v/eeks prior to his death with a carbunkle and from the time he entered the hospital little hope was entertained for his recov ery, although at times he seemed very much improved. The funeral services were conduct ed from the Methodist church in Hen dersonville last Sunday at 10:30 by the pastor and the body was immed iately taken to the train and shipped to Calvert, this county, for interment, the Masonic Orders of Brevard and Hendersonville having charge of the burial services. Mr. Glazener was well knov/n in Transylvania county, having been reared at Calvert, near Rosman. He conducted a suc<ressful mercantile bsuiness in Brevard a few years ago in connection with his Hendersonville business. At the time of Ms death he was considered one of Henderson ville’s leading business men. Mr. Gl&zsner was a friend to ev erybody, and especially to the chil dren. He never failed to have some thing pleasant to say to a child when ever he saw one—rich or poor alike. The deceased was 51 years of age and leaves a mother, four brothers and five sisters to mourn their loss. ISSION AT ST. pmurs CONCLUDED The Rev. John H. Griffith, Arch deacon of the Episcopal Missionary Jurisdiction of Asheville, which in cludes the twenty-eight counties of Western, N.

What men see now in so-called Christian vard. Mr. Griffith’s ability as a preacher, and his eloquence as a speaker soon spread over our com munity to such an extent that al though the evenings were rainy and disagreeable his congregation grew in numbers from night to night as the mission continued. There were at the first service on Tuesday evening about fifty people and the last service was held in the Methodist Church Sunday evening where the Archdeacon preached to three hundred or more. Mr. Griffith’s sermons are much talked about; and it requires no prophet to say that should Mr. Griffith come again he would have large and eager congrega tions to hear him. Come again.

I writer, E. Allison and T. C. Holts claw, though boys* in their day, still remember these two men were tow ering types of piety over their fel- lov.'s. Thtsa men ca-^t their bread , upon many waters. The streams are . flowing by today; crumbs and loaves are now and then picked up; whence came they? “It doth not yet appear,” but we know “it shall accomplish that ; v/hich I please.” There is a guiding hand. H. I Are We Our Brother’s Keeper? The patient world thru all its cir cling years has borne its human bur den, murmuring not—a selfish horde, almost by God forgot—a theme to flood the universe with tears. From that far distance where there first appears a rap to pierce the dark con glomerate blot spewed from creation’s maw, the common lot. Of man the crcature changes not nor veers; a cur rent rushing on from naught to naught; turgid and turbulent, twix narrow banks .of grasping greed and centered self endeavor; each drop impregnated with the single thought of striving till all other it outranks; blind in its petty now to vast for ever! This is the painted picture, this the view of cynic solons in the halls of state, venting their venomed envy in heated debate. Cruel and heartless as a pirate’s crew; haciding the many for the selfish few. Clasping the hasp upon our book of iate; seeking the elder Cain to emulate—Are we our brother’s keeper? Nay, not you, but the great world is, war h>s fixed its fangs just once to often in the hu man breast, and roused the nations to their sole surcease. Nor shall we fail to heed our brother's pangs. The serried legions of this glorious west shall head the van guard of the hosts of peace! W. H. ANDERSON. THE PRAYER Christ of Judea^ look Thou in my heart. Do I not love Thee, look to Thee, in Thee alone have faith of all sons of men—faith deepening with the wei«cht and woe of years?

Lake Tox- 1 the heart of the Blue Ridge s and community m.eetings of the 1-Ind recently held are some what new to the section. Mr. L'’-:7rence states than more than 1,000 people attended this fair during the day and that practically every phase of agriculture and home economics v/as represented. Forty head of live-stock v/ere exhibited; 25 entries of purebred poultry made; 200 exhibits of canned goods; 160 exhib its of fancy work, and 165 entries were made in the agricultural depart ment. After all the exhibits had beer placed and viewed by the people, a good, program of athletics and sports was arranged, and furnished amuse ment while the judges wc^e at work. Some of the things in which the vis itors took part consisted <ff climbing a greased pole, an official horseshoe pitching contest, running and jump ing, a saddle horse contest, and a bucking horse contest. Climbing the greasy pole afforded considerable amusement all during the day while the horsefehoe pitching contest was al so an enthusiastic affair. Much credit is due Mr. J. B. Neal, Chairman of the Fair Association, for making the event of entertainment and interest to the community. —Extension Farm News. APPOINTMENT OF PREACHERS The annual Conference of the Meth odist Church, South, has made its appointments and adjourned. W. E. Poovey, who has so faithfully and ef ficiently served the church here for the la=jt four years was appointee' Presiding: Flder of Norht Wilksbor District. The prayers and best wif^ not do it without being inconvenienc ed in the plans for their own luxuries —the new automobile, the elaborate houses, the extravarant jewels which thsy choose to give the right-of-way in thoir expenditure, while the un- soIfiFh things go lacking. Iri tha tnoblc essay of his on The Moral Equivalent of War Yvilliam James speaks of the volun tary acceptance of poverty, the asce ticism of delibera-eiy restricted de sires, as being able to become a school of the strer.uous life and hero ism. Would not this voluntary pooverty, this free choice of doing without a great deal w’hich before had seemed essential to well being, lea.T to liber ation from material attachm.ents, the unbribed soul, the manlier indiffer ence, the paying our way by what we are and do and not by what we have, the move athletic trim, in short, the moral fighting shape. Who is there in this church today who will hear that call and answer to its truth? More and more W’e need to answer. If the church is to be worthy to win lives that are willing to strip themselves of softness and self ishness for the sake of a high herioc cause. Then it has got to be made so by the real devotion of those who claim to believe that the church has a supreme meaning for men’s lives. P. E. C. A STATEMENT May all the Baptist, brethren tak« notice that the space of the Baptist 75 Million‘Campaign Bulletin was purchased and used by me personally. What I said .in ■*’he bulletin about the League of Nation w^ere my honest views on the subject. I believe the same way still and I am willing for any other brother or citizen to be lieve his way and without my think ing him wrong in doing so. In stating my view-s on the Lea gue I in no wise thought that I was representing any other Baptist. I was only just exercising the right of ■*-;v own free soul. ? League of Nations is at pres- r. side track—the Baptist 75 Mil- i-oii Campaign is the main line—so brsthern let’s get on the main line and ,not only of his congregation, but thi: my prayer.
