Service at Ten O'clock Each Morning w en Auenoea. jne special services at. me rirei Presbyterian Church began Sunday, Nov. 23, with large congregations present at both the morning and the evening service. At night the mam auditorium was packed and the Sun . day school room nearly filled, al- tnougn there were the usual services -In the other churches of the city. Many people from the country and near-by towns had taken advantage of the good roads and beautiful weather to attend the meeting. Dr. Thacker preached two strong ser mons. In the morning his text was Col. 1:18. the subject bein?, "The Pre-eminent Christ." At night the subject was "The Church's Disease and its Remedy," being based on Jer. 8:22, "Is there no balm in Gll ead?" Is there no physician thereT Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?" Both of these discourses were of a high order, and held the closest at tention of the large audiences to the last word. Dr. Thacker Is a very attractive speaker. He has a fine oice, clear and distinct enunciation and a pleasing delivery, his style and manner of speaking being free and e"asy, and yet very earnest and di rect. He uses no notes and talks dlrcetly to the people. His thought Is clear and his language so slnrnie that even the children have no dif ficulty In following him. He Is free from mannerisms, and there Is no - pu c&i iiih, iiici " rv i lie nan 1110 manner of a rtrnnx. earnest, big hearted man delivering God's mes sage to men snd women. And this Is a very finished and effective form of eloquence. Monday morning at 10 o'clock there wan a good congregation to hear folble atid stirring dlsconrpe on- "n Conditions of Assured Success."-The attendance at the busiest hour of a busy week-day was most encouraging. Not onlv were the house-keepers there but a large number of the lesdlre bnslness nd professional men of the town.

There are two services each day, at 10 o'clock in the morning and 7:30 at night. The services will Te jtln promptly. The morning service will last from thirty to forty-five minutes. The service Monday mornln lasted Just thirty-five minutes. Every business man and busy house keeper may be assured that the meeting will be brief in the morn ing. And these morning services are proving particuTaiTy strong and helpful, especially to Christians. Monday night the" church was again filled. The congregation was surprisingly good for Monday night which is proverbially unfavorable for a large attendance. Dr. Thacker preached another eloquent sermon, the text being Eph. 5 : 14: "Where fore he saith. Awake thou that aleepest and arise from the. dead, and Christ shall give tbee light." The sermon was followed by a very Impressive solo by Mr. Fischer, wnose singing at every service adds much to . the meetings. He has a tenor voice of exceptional range and quality. It is rather wonderful the wav Mr. Fischer controls the singing, and how much music he 'gets out of the chorus and the congregation already. The singing is Proving a most at tractive feature. The song service continues at every evening serv?ce for thirty minutes or more, and grows in Interest. The subject of the address Tuesday ' morning was, "God Mindful of Us." The theme for to-night will be, "A Revival of Sin." Every body is mpst cordially In vited to come. - ' There la a hearty welcome for alT. The co-operation of everyone is most earnestly sought.

The only charge In the county which will be effected by the four year time limit Is the Belmont and Mt. Holly charge, of which Rev. J. A. Bowles has been pastor for four years. A new pastor will therefore be Bent to this work. v The Hog. By Walt Mason. Of all domestic brutes the hog for swinishness Is worst; in all the bes tial catalogue he's easily the first. For others he has no regard, has no concern at all; the weaker pigs he pushes hard, and sends them to the wall. He gets his legs inside the trough and sips the sparkling slop, and t'other hogs must root him , off if they would get a drop. And when he's riding In a car, two seats he'll occupy, and smoke a black and rank cigar, while women grasp and cry. In mudholes he's Inclined to coze, when there's no grub about; a ring Is fastened through his nose, so ne can't tunnel out. And when he drives abroad by day, in auto car or sich, all folks, to give him right of way, must drive Into the ditch. Oh, whether he he Is in a pen, with garbage heaps to chew, or In the busy haunts of men, the hog's a hog all through. You see him fighting for the slop amid the barnyard gloom; you see him in the barber shop, in public reading room ; ' you find him in the synagogue and in the taverns fine; the hog is evermore a hog, when he is not a swine.

Mr. J. William Moore, for nearly forty years outside boss at the Spencer Mountain Mills and one of the best-known citizens of that sec tion ot, the county, died suddenly at his home in Spencer Mountain last night at 8:15 o'clock. There was no premonition of the approacsnns end. Mr. W. T. Love, president and treasurer of the mill, was in tne room with Mr. Moore and the latter was preparing to retire when he dropped off quietly and without a pain or a struggle into the arms or death. Since Wednesday he had been suffering some with neuralgia and Thursday night Dr. R. M. Reld, of Gastonia, was called to attend him. Yesterday, however, he was ap parently improved and was outside and look In gutter bis work as late as five o'clock1 In the afternoon. Deceased was a native of Mecklen burg county, being a son of the late Robert Moore, 'and moved to Gaston county when he was a young man. He was about 55 years of age and forty years of that time he had spent at Spencer Mountain, having been connected with the Spencer Mountain Mill since It was started.

He was a man of many ex cellent traits of character which en deared him to all those with whom he came In contact. Toys This Year Will Cost $20,000, 000.00. Washington, Nov. 17. Toys to the extent of more than 120,000,000 will have been provided for American children by their parents before the present year wanes, according to the experts of the federal bureau of for eign and domestic commerce. This estimates a new record, the statis ticians announced. A marked feature of the situation Is that the United States is guarding with increasing Jealousy its own pro duction of toys and Is sending fewer abroad for the children of other countries. The production of home factories Is kept for home young sters. The importation of playthings be fore the new year is ushered in will aggregate $8,000,000, the experts figure. Added to this the home pro duction will be fully $11,000,000. With this flood of Joy making para phernalia it is thought certain by the federal experts the hearts of Ju venile Americans will be made glad when Santa Claus comes around, If they are not overflowing with hap piness before. Dolls furnish one-fourth of all the toys coming from abroad. Germany Is by far the greatest purveyor or playthings, and Its flaxen-haired dolls virtually are the only travelers of the kind that are admitted through the custom houses to the arms of American children. In the furnishing of toys England comes next, with Janan, France, Austria-Hungary and Belgium fol lowing In . importance. The United States exportations have fallen off steadily in recent years.

Our fathers knew the meaning of ' thrift but their example has been . forgotten. It is no longer the age of thrift. It is the period of the spend thrift. We find him everywhere. Il ls easy to make money, but hard tov save it and the spender is always ia the majority. The thrifty are mocked and ' laughed at, and reviled. Extrava gance is having its golden day. It -shines with the blaze of glory. It . dazzles the eye and quickens the, pulse. But there is a day of reckon ing, unheeded and unthought of. And now we are to fall back to the example of the simple life. We - i are to be reminded of the advantage . of thrift. It is high time. Visions- , ry theorists are wasting effort oa 'j Ideals too lofty to be reached. Re formers are urging the impossible ; and impracticable and demagogue v are leading the crowds along the highway of unreason, unrest and un belief. It Is a pleasure to turn from all , these to welcome a natlon-wlde v movement for a revival of American thrift. It originates with a banker , whose "own career Illustrates tne I lesson he would teach. It was borji In the great Western metropolis, - -Chicago, and It Is already becoming a national movement. It Is begin-' nlng to be preached in the pulpit. It ' should be taught in the schools and advocated from the rostrum. Thrift does not mean a plnchy ! mlBerness or the hardship of great'' self-denial. It means a lessening of extravagance; tne cutting on oi use- . ., less expenditures; the cultivation of - tne saving namt ana preparation, time of prosperity, for the inevita ble hour of need.
