Churches of the Town Closed Their Doors on Sunday Evening For Final Message - , K"'1 '*? '/v ' .* : 1 The various churches of the town closed their doors o? Sunday evening, end the pastors, together with their congregations, attended the last of .the series of meetings befog held in ther Presbyterian church, filling it beyond capacity, and hearing with much in teract'the message of Dr. E. E. Gilles pie, of Greensboro, the evangelist The preacher took as his text, Luke 14, verse 18?"And they all with one consent began to make excuse," re viewing the story of the Lord, who making a great feast and getting only excuses from his invited friends, bade his servants go out into the high ways and byways add bring in guests for his table, and applied it to God's plan of salvation, which gave the Jew3 the primary invitation, "to be set apart as a chosen nation, trained and educated to be a medium of bless-, ing throughout the world." The fact that God excused them from accept l-I-V 1 ko^ 1U? Uli8 Ui^ii IIUIUI f nuu uwv imhi since been scattered to the four winds, was brought out very forcibly by Dr. Gillispie, as well as the universal invitation to partake of the Gospel feast, which was later issued. He then declared that excuses just as flimsy as,those offered in the story were being given to God by men' and women today, listing the most famil iar ones as; first, being unable to understand the mysteries of the ?ible, the speaker using as a counter argu ment the inconsistency of this per son, who neither understanding the effect of nourishment on the body, continues to eat; second, the fact that there are hypocrites in the church. This the preacher acknowledged with regret, pointing out the fact that there are counterfeits everywhere; third, the indifference of the person who does not feel the need of Jesus, warn ing the user of this excuse, of the sin of unbelief, and quoting the Scripture, "He that believeth not is condemned already." Fourth, the excuse that a person "cannot hold out." This, Pr. Gillespie asserted was the most groundless of all the excuses that Satan offers, because of the fact that a regenerated nature will not turn back like the hog to wallow again but is a new creature with new de sires. -He then pleaded that the doubting heart turn to Satan and face him with his deceitful excuses, commit it self to God, who is all powerful and will uphold by the right hand of His righteousness. Of the 88,900 promises in God's Word, the preacher placed that of the Holy Spirit as the ehief, and appealed to his hearers to send back an enthusiastic message of ac ceptance to God's invitation that they might receive this promise of power. Rev. H. M. Wilson, pastor of the church, expressed the appreciation of the congregation for the Gospel mes sages brought to them by .Dr. Gilles pie and of the interest manifested by the community during the meeting, which lasted two weeks. bpSutand Ti Spud Nights tn A Graveyard Arrested By ^Officers Who Were Tipped Off Concerning Thefts Of Graves ???

Negress Arrested For Larceny Of Diamond Brooch Valued The trial of Elizabeth Harper Blount, arrested for larceny of a dia mond brooch, styled a "sunburst," and valued at $700 or $800, and a second case, involving theft of a silk slip, were held in Mayor Lewis' eourt here Wednesday morning. Mrs. Wesley R. Willis, owner of the missing articles, testified that they disappeared following the cleaning of her house by the colored woman, who is widely employed as a cleaner ' by housewives here. The evidence in the more important case hangs by a slender yellow rib bpn, positively identified by the plain tiff, as being among other ribbons kept in a small silken sewing bag, and in which she kept the brooch. The article of wearing apparel was al3o identified by Mrs. Willis. , Sheriff Whitehurst and Chief J. L. Taylor were called to tne stand, testi fying to the arrest of the defendant and to searching her premises. In pronouncing 'sentence of 60 days for the theft of the small articles, Mayor Lewis stated that the attitude of taking one's property is the next thing to taking one's j^ft is universal, and that violation of laws regarding this has to be dealt with accordingly. The defendant took an appeal in this case and the other was bound over to Superior Court. Three humorous situations were noted in the trial by spectators, com posed largely of colored citizens of the town, one, when Attorney John Hill Paylor, lawyer for the defense, objected to the plaintiff's relating what a fortune teller had said in re gard to the brooch, another, was his use of the wrong and now obsolete term, "petticoat," in referrin; to the slip, and the other, when attorneys and witnesses, and even the Mayor himself, evidently determining before hand to call the defendant by her Christian name, would suffer lagpe of memory and speak of her as "Beauty," by which nickname she is known to .everybody in Farmville. 'Wets' Take Three States f , ^ Fourteen State Have Now Joined the Parade Seeking Repeal of Pro hibition / I/ong-dry Iowa with Connecticut and New Hampshire today brought to 14 the states which in unbroken succession have voted to knock the 18th amendment out of the consti tution. The Hawkeye stale's swing away from the position she has main tained for nearly two decades, left drys fixing their hope for hauling the parade on Alabama and Ar kansas, both voting July 18. In the doubtful column when the balloting began, Iowa brought in a majority for the repeal amendment even though it was not as big as that in Conneciticut and New Hamp shire. But with 611,000 votes and only 30 precincts missing the count was 368,691 for repeal and 242,612 against That means she has instructed all 99 delegates to the state convention July 10 to vote for repeal. From the start there had been no question about what New Hamp shire and Conneciticut would do. The former with a light ballot and only a small town missing, voted 75, 969 for and 30,387 against In like* fashion, Conneciticut regis tered a 6 to 1 majority to the 21st amendment, which repeals the 18th. Her unofficial total was 236,916 for regeal and 35,349 against - s ? ?
