C, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 0, 116. 1.50 A YEAR IX ADVAKC3 MEETING DRAWS CROWD II MANY HUNDREDS HEAR BROWNING Tabernacle Was Full at Sunday Night's Service Inspiring Music 1) Chorus Choir of SOW Evangel kit Drowning Delivers Stirring and Convincing Message to' Christian and Sinners Special Services. To a congregation which filled the main auditorium and Sunday school rooms and the aisles of both, Rev. Raymond Browning Sunday morning preached a forceful sermon at Matn Street Methodist Church, this being the first of a series of evangelistic services being held in the' tabernacle here. Mr. Browning's subject was, "What Is a Christian?" He took as his text the only three passages in the Bible where the term Ch.istian is used. Under three general beads, he discussed the meaning of Chris tianity in a clear and convincing man ner. First, Christianity means standing for something character. Those disciples of Christ in the early days were called Christians in a spirit of derision because they 6lotd for something. In striking contrast to the religionists of that diy wno worshiped in magnificent temples and bowed down before myriads of heathen gods, the Christiau ttood for the high ideals and the toac-iing of the Christ who had been derided, betrayed and crucified to be- a Christian, one must stand for some thing. To be a Christian also mean., said the speaker, to do something to give service to the Master. Paul stood before King Agrippa and plead not for himself, but for Christ. He was serving his Master and in doing so he caused the King to say, "Al most thou persuadest me to be a Christian." There is no Christianity without service. In the third place, said the evan gelist, to be a Christian means to suffer. Being a Christian does net mean a life of ease. Christ said, "Those whom the Lord loveth. He chasteneth." To be a Christian means to be tempted and tried. Only one who is a true and thoroughly devout follower of the meek and lowly Jesua. can stand against the trials and temptations that come to every one. Mr. Browning used numeroirs il lustrations in his sermon, and at,, times there was hardly a dry eye m the house as he recounted olvq tragic and pathetic occurrences which had come under his own observation and knowledge. Throughout the dis course, he was listened to with pro found attention. At the night service the big taber nacle, holding approximately o.OOO people, was filled. A choir of 300 voices, under the direction of Mr. O. W. Stapleton of Atlanta will be a feature through out the meeting, which will probablj last for three weeks or more. SUNDAY XIGHT SERVICE. When the big choir of two hun - dred or more voices began to sing Sunday night the tabernacle was fill ed to its capacity. It was the larg est congregation ever assembled at one place in Gastonia to hear the Gospel preached. The, singing was splendid as was also the solo sung by Mr. Stapleton at the close of the service. Mr. Browning took for his text the two great commandments, namely, "Love the Lord our God with all thy heart, soul, mind, strength and body and thy neighbor as thy self." These two commandments, woven into one, said the speaker, gave us the sum to tal in a nutshell of the Christian re ligion. No man can be a true Chris tian unless he meets the conditions set forth in these commandments. The speaker used a number of con vincing and stirring illustrations to force home to the hearts of his hear ers this great truth. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning there were more than 2oO persons present and the service was a most profitable one, the sermon being to Christians. Last night Mr. Browning preached from the text, found in the last chap ter of Ephesians, "Put on the whole armor of God. that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Stand, therefore, having your loin girt about with truth, and hair ing on the breastplate of righteous ness; and your feet shod wtth the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all. taking the shield of faitn, wherewith ye sball be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the .word of the spirit, which is the word of God." In a manner that held the atten tion of a large audience the speaker took; up one at a time these articles of equipment of a Christian life. Jn order for one to have this equipment he must have all sin uprooted from his heart- "Evangelists are often criticised." said the speaker, "be . cause some of their converts don't " Mtirv thev backslide. Neither I nor ; any other preacher, either, evangel - 1st or one in the regular pastorate, can, guarantee that any man will not r backslide, -It lies with the man him self I cannot look at him and tell whether every vestige ot sin has been wiped out of his heart and life Unless such is the case he can t live a true Christian life.

Continued Dry Weather is Causing Rather Gloomy Prospect for the Farmers I lain Badly Needed. Correspondence of The Gazette. GASTONIA, Route 3, May 8. The farming business is very poor just now. We have had but little rain In five or six weeks. I have been through a part of aston and Mecklenburg counties and find the fruit nearly all killed, the wheat crop not worth harvesting, the oat crop dead, no corn hardly planted, some cotton fields with a stalk every forty yards, and others not quite so thick. But there's nothing to be made by grumbling. Pick your flint. Never mind the powder. It's dry. We have had dry springs before and the rains always have come, but it was five months in-getting here in 1881. I am plowing up a field where I ex pected to get a 'good crop of oats and planting corn, and if I fall with corn I will sow peas. I think that It would be a good idea to prepare a good piece of land and sow some cane seed. It makes good feed for all kinds of live stock. Remember if we do not raise feed we will have to buy It and it is already high. I saw a man the other day selling clover right from the mower at .r0 cents a hundred pounds. SCHOOIX CLOSE.

Even the Philippine Islands have just Adopted an inheritance tax law, and there are now only six States left in the Union which fail to get revenues from such taxes. But the South Carolina House of Representa tives by a vote of 65 to 44 killed the bill a bill which would lighten the tax on prodnctive labor just to the degree that it secured funds from in heritances. There is no luster tax on earth than that which is levied on property a man gets without indus try or effort, and such Inheritance taxes ought to be levied in ten-fold greater measure, to take the Dlace of taxes now levied on thrift and In dustry. "We hope our, South Carolina read ers will bring pressure to bear upon their legislators next time and see that the proud old Palmetto State no longer lags behind even the Philip pine Islands in this matter of pro: gresslve legislation. The bill de feated by the. South Carolina House would not have taxed widows on the first $10,000 inheritance nor a child on the first $5,000. so nobody can say that It was an extreme measure.
