It follows. Cttliem' Hotel, ininn, nuun varunna, January 7, 1923. My dear Wife and Little Ones: It iv now 10 o’clock Sunday night but I muit not sleep until I rive you •ornc account of the past day's ex perience*. At about four o’clock yes terday afternoon I arrived in the pro gressive little city of Dntin. North Carolina, and found the rt.-ecU and store* filled with bu-y peupHi in evidence of the thrift and prosperity of the surrounding country. In aj> pcsrsr.ce the town of about live thou sand people i* not much unlike many of our large cities, except for the absence of siry-acrapcrv, street rail way* and the usual concerted con ditions which make life so intolerable for thousand* of our city folk. Tired and worn from much traveling I came straight to the -beautiful and well furnished Citisenr’ ilolel which would do ctedlt to many of o'tr cities ten times as la>g*. After a good Isalh and a splendid supper I decided to go down town for a ta’k with *oro of the lead ing bus.ncsa men of the city. Would you believe it when I tell you that I hnd opportunity to meat ten then half a doten men be fore all the ntnres ar.d places of busf neaa were cloved for the night, and 1 wav told that 1 could art no further MondajT^nornfng* learned that it wut an umb vial ng rale of all places of busima*, includ- : ing drug store* and barber shop*, to close their doors piomptly at nine j o'clock on Saturday n'vhU the yeai I around in order that nobody might j be hindered from unending rcl'.g'ou* i service* the following morning. Accordingly, I returned at ance to the hotel whcio I sot a full night’s: sleep which I grcs.lv needed. When I 1 arose this morrinr and began muk J ing preparation for b enkfasl, 1 no j liced a neat, catchy card wb'rh had | been placed under my doer inviting ■ me to attend the Uaraces class of the First Haptiat Sunday School. At the breakfast table I foond in my plate another card containing an announ cement of the service* for the entire day at the First Duptist church, and giving me u special invitation to be their guest while spending Sunday ir. the city. You bet l was not long de ciding that people who wc.-c enough interested in me to give me such ur invitation as that would he iawarded . by my attendance* oat thv>r sei vice’ this morning. Upon inquiry at the desk 1 wa» told by the enthusiastic clerk the exact location of the church and wh» informed by him that these Invitations were extended to all che guests nf the hotel every Sunday ",°"Un*__ _ ing, ouch as »f hava during the win ter in the North, but juM 1iw kind to brae* up a tired traveler in need of fresh air. I strolled kunurciy along Broad Street in tho dlrsoton of the ehareh. knowing thnt It was at 'east half an hour beforo the time far the opening of the Sunday School The location of the church could not be mistaken, for as I came nearer I saw the large, neat bulletin board, on which waie the name of tha church, thin hours of worship, the sermon to pics, etc. On the sidewalk in front of the church stood a kindly faced man who cam* toward B« w ,aP' Broached. With outstretched hand he exclaimed “My name Is Bararo Cln<a Jones.” “And min* Is Dunn, from Orand Rapids, Michigan." “I am Sd to know you, Mr. Dunn, f was t standing hrro nn tho sidewalk ting to And someone I could got to attend our great Rsiaca Class, Won't you worship with U« today?” When I informed him that 1 was on my way to that class ho guvc me such a hand grasp as 1*11 not -eon forget. The ehurch edifire Is a splendid struc ture. with Inrgo white column* in front and a massive dome overhead. Whan I suggested to Mr. Jones that tho house of srorrhip must be a new one, be said: “Oh no. it Is not neir but w* have recently dene over tho floors and all tho wood work, had the brick all eloanrd, snipped the base ment and built an annex for our large and rapidly growing Sunday School, naeured much new furnish ings and (Kjulpuient and beautified the ground* And it 1* * fact most gratifying to o», too, that we have absolutely no debt.” "Then youmuat have a great amount of wealth In your membership?’’ “No” wna thr frank reply. ”0u* people are_ not wealthy, aut they nr* willing.
