NUMBER 4.
MEW COURT HOIKE
AND COUMY JAIL
Both laborers and carpenters have
commenced the fallingr of trees, the
clearing of the ground and erecting
the necessary temporary buildings
on the court house grounds prepar
ative to the additional building and
improvement to the court house, and
the erection of a new jail. Work on
these buildings will be pushed just
as fast as building, material can be
secured.
The additional room and improve
ment to the Court House and the
erection of a new and up-to-date
jail, have been needed ''for a long
while but owing to the unsettled con
dition, scarcity of building material
and labor, the commissioners did
not deem it advisable to authorize
the improvements until now. When
completed, we will have a court
house in keeping with similar build-
inprs in adjoining counties.

GREAT REVIVAL
IN BREVARD
The revival meeting that began in
the Baptist Church December 28, 19-
-19 closed January 19th, 1920.
It was the unanimous opinion of
those who attended that it was the
greatest revival ever held in Bre
vard,
The visible results were the entire
membership greatly revived, 53 add
ed to the church, pastor’s salary in
creased to eighteen hundred by the
unimous vote of the church. Also
in addition to this the splendid
pounding amounting to some 50 dol
lars. There was organized a tilting
band with 104 members, A num
ber of those who came were men and
women several of whom were above
fifty years of age.
Evangelist Reese preached with
out fear or favor the truth as it is
in the w'ord. Evangelistic singer
John O, Beall won his way to the
hearts of our people by his sweet
gospel singing and helpful talks and
prayers.
Such a revival cannot fail to help
the tow’n in every way. There two
workers departed Tuesday morning
for Easley, S. C. where they at once
enter into another campaign. They
leave w'ith the good will and best
wishes of most of our people.

THE PRAYER CORNER
Perfect Trust in God
“There is but oViC thing needful
to possess God.”
All our senses, all our pow
ers of mind and soul, all our eternal
resources, are so many ways of ap
proaching God, so many modes of
tasking and of adoring Him.
To adore, to understand, to re
ceive, to feel, to give, to act; there
is our law, our duty, our happiness,
our heaven.
Let come what will—even death.
Only be at peace with self, live in
the presence of God, in communion
with Him and kavv.- the guidance of
existence to those universal powers
against whom we can do nothing. If j
I
death gives us time, so much the j
better. If its summons is near, so !
much the better. If a half death !
overtakes us so much the better, for |
so the path of success is closed to j
us only that we may find opening!
before us the pat’n of heorism, of :
moral greatness of resignation. In
bitterness, there is sweetness; in af
fliction, joy; in submission, strength;
in the God who punishes, the God
who loves. Amiel. i

O, my God, Thou and Thou alone

that Thou hast taken me out of my

stuck OR during a recent con;est
the Indians capped the “field meet”
