THE QUIET CORNER “That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in nil Godliness and Honesty.”—I Tim. 2:2. 1'y REV. WA1.TFH E lSFNHOl’R }lid<lenifp, X. C Praying, Working Giving The motto oi every church s. »ul<i be this: '-‘.Every member i mg, eveiy membei wui kiiy, c cry member giving. ' It every i. , moer of every church would ,y earnestly and sincerely, v, irk faithfully and diligently for i a salvation of piecious souls,, and give liberally alld ci.ee-i 1 u | ly o. his means toward the support i . me gospel throughout the e..rth; it is uuKllowii wnat a lnar . intis ainl glorious change would K'.ii: piacc lllvll ulid liu* . ns tor the best U that it lmght be carried out! As pastor 1 ant adopting this motto for the j e::tirci.es 1 am serving. Every j pastor of the nation would do , well to adopt the same and label ' u: i lgent ly to put it into eliect. Lets notice sotm* scriptures that harmonize with this motto. I- list. Set's notice some scripture j on prayer. Turn to Luke And lie spake a parable unto them -to this end. that men ought ] always to pray, and not to taint. ^ Now turn to hirst rhessaionians d:i 7: ’Pray without ceasing, (mist spoke the hist of these two texts and Paul the second. I licit are many more passages of sci ip tun- we might quote, but space will not permit. Now prayer is of vital necessity to the salvation of every soul. When men repent of their sins they have to pray for forgiveness, hone.-t, y and sincerely. And after men ate forgiven they need to pray sin cerely for entire sanctification; and after the sanctifying blood. grace and power oi noa purines i ii.« heart and soul they must pray 1 continually that they may nv i ! cume.tne world, the flesh and the devil. They must not let up m p.ayer. They keep in harmony aim tv.ne with the Infinite through much payer Their soul., are ted uany by communion with God In .n:er to keep humble, spiritual ui.u godly, and keep constant vic tory, one must "pray without sing." Every Christian must have a secret place of prayer. sot only should we pray con tin..ally for ourselves and feed on spiritual food from heaven, h,.t we must pra\, pray, pray for others, and pray for and about i>... i: \ things How we need homes of prayer, churches of prayed, communities of prayer and' nations of prayer! How we need intercessors everywhere! r,very Home should have a family .tjiur It would be a home of prayer. Every member of every cfi'Utch should be a real pray-er. U e could then pray marvelous tning, to puss. We could have great revivals, and pray sm and wickedness out and pray God and righteousness and holiness in. It ■is indeed wonderful how God; hlesse.s leal praying souls. He graciously blesses a home of leaver, and pouis out the Holy Ghost upon a church and ue nomination of prayer. Praise | lies name forever. God indeed answers sincere prayer. "Pray without ceasing' Don’t fail to ora . Pray daily, pray hourly.. Have a season of prayer some-; wi.cie every day Try the early horning hour for this especially. : God will gloriously bless and en- I rich, your life, and the lives of 1 oiliers. and save precious souls. 1 if you will pray, pray, and con ! tinue to pray. ;vuw wf come to me second theme of our subject, which is work. Every member working” Turn to James "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” For the second scripture we turn to First Corinthians 15: 5,s: •‘Therefore, my beloved brethern, be yet steadfast, un movable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." Hallelujah! It is a grand thing to work for our precious Lord. To "abound' in His work means that we are well employed. God’s faithful nenple find so much to do that is good, nobody, gi eat, sublime and worth while until they have no time left to serve the devil The great harvest fields of immortal souls is "already white to harv est " .Millions, millions, millions o! people are lost in sin and wickedness and going to a devil’s hell, therefore every member of every church should so pray and work that he is a soul-winner for Jesus, Souls are lost in your home. Pray for them, talk to them, and so live ill godliness and holiness that you may win them to Christ. There are golden op portunities everywhere for soul winning. Just yesterday we were “ill one of our county jails where wile and myself talked to and prayed for one of the unfortun ate inmates. And as we travel tiie highways we pick up travelers all over the country and talk to them about their souls. We tell them of the marvelous love of Jesus, and how He wants to save them, and we warn them against the exceeding sinfulness of sin. When we sow beside all waters' we never know what may spring up and grow, and after while bring forth a bountiful harvest. Let’s work for the salvation of precious souls, “He that wia neth souls is wise/’ so declares God's blessed Word of truth While the devil has million.- of workers carrying on his diabolical work of destructiveness we real ize so much the great need of workers for the Lord. Behold the lost multitudes. Pray, work; give that you may have’ a pa:: m uieir ,-aivatioi. "Work, for th. night is c hur-. v.

We should purpose in oiu heart to give God tile tithe, anu ollerings beside, and give very cheerful.iy. No one siiould ever give grudgingly, but give out of a joyous heart. We snuuld absolu tely ieei happy as we give to God'.- cause. Ail that we have is a gift Horn Horn, and when we is a gift lfom Him. and when vve should do it cheerfully, knowing that God loves a cheerful giver. When God blesses us with health and strength to work, bless us with a job, bless us with crops of abundance, oi even bless us with small crops, it pays to give part of it back to Him that others may share our blessings. In so doing we help spread the gospel, feed and clothe the hungry and needy, care for the orphans and widows, educate and train workers for both our home and foreign mis sion fielus, thus winning souls to C hrist. It i.- a great and gloiious work Pray, work, give, llus is ac cording to Ciud's holy Word. Some glorious day He will reward u.> lor all that we have done for Him.

DELLINGER RALEIGH. Mar. 3.—The feel ing now is that the General As1 sembly will close Very shortly Most lokely the session will end Saturday at some time in the day There is a resolution before the House Calendar Committee to .-ljourn at 12:01 A. M Saturday out that may be amended. It is '.he usual custom to put in the last night until midnight in a jollification meeting, awarding of presents to the (residing officers and others, and in more or less horse-play. .All this is done at ter the real work is completed to allow the Enrolling Office to com plete the copying and vei ifying the final bills for ratification just before the adjournment hour There have been -times in the past when so very many bills are passed during the final hours of .lie actual session that it requires a day or two and most of the night for the bills to be enrolled, for the signatures of the presid ing officers in the two Houses while the bodies are still in ses sion. However, the procedure aow is to rush all bills not seri ously contested through and to the enrolling clerk so as1 uo keep the work as close up as possible and then the long contested mat ters to come later and when pass ed there will not be so many of them as to delay the adjournment unduh. The presiding officers are working to the end tnat np delay may be caused by the nisi: of so many bills the last day, and for this they are to be commend ed. For several days the Senate has been right up with its cal endar even if three sessions per day are required. The House has been having two to three ses sions per day and if this contin ues all will go home this week. A bill of special inteiest to Gaston County is one appropriat ing $75,000.00 from the Stan emergency fund for the North Carolina Textile Institute, Bel mont. N. ('., for equipment and to get the Institute in operation soon. This 'bill has been passed in the Senate and should be in the House today It appears the building is complete and some machinery and equipment on i hand but the training work can not begin until the place is equipped. This amount together with the aid front the I’nited States Government and with the priority that can then be had should be sufficient to get the, school started. This should be of great worth to the people of the state in the training ot men and women for special textile mil) aork in this time of need for de tense material which the mills of the state are furnishing in large quantities and in many instan ces almost the entire out of the. .mils go to the war department. l'he appropriation bill distrib uting the institutions and various j divisions of the State Govern nient passed the House Tuesday | in about ten minutes without am endment. This sets aside $115. O0O.uOO.OO for the operations of the state for the next two year.-, j Arlo the bonus bill or for em j ergency measure supplementing i salaries of all employees and teachers was passed without de bate or opposition. Naturally this bill is not satisfactory to some people. While it gives all more than expected and gave some in the lower brackets men than some in the lowest and sonu in the highest, still some are not sati.ified. For illustration some of the low or medium class thought they should have as much or more increase that tin experts in different lines. The legislature sought to do justici and conformed as nearly as po sible to the plans and agreement by the leaders of the teachers and the many department head: There is a bill pending before the Committee on Banks and Banking a bill of interest to the banks in the state. This would reduce the cost and expense of the examination ol the banks a much as tweney-five per cent. This will be welcomed by banks as it has always a| peared thai the expense of making these ex aminations lias keen too much. Another bill would place wiih in the jurisdiction of the Stat Highway and Public Works Com mission the power to regulate tli speed limit of motor vehicles in certain areas and districts. This for the better protection of the people generally A bill of special and peculiai interest to the state is to per mit the Governor to appoint po licemen for transportation com panies. It seems this should have been the law for many years and particularly since there is such large quantities of ft eight trans) oiled through the coun try. Last Saturday was the biggest Saturday’s work of the «ntirt session. About seventy-five loca bills were passed. The local representative served as Speaker a large part of that session am' passed most of the bills for tht day. The present Speaker, Hon. John Kerr, Jr., has been present for every session so far and se. dom selects a member to relie’ him at any time and if at all f> only a few minutes at time. The one thing done by tl General Asembly that will appe to the people of Gaston Count more than anything else is th appropriation for the Textile School at Belmont. This being a State Institution.

A'hile as a matter of fact it is a State institution, owned by the State, for the benefit of all its people who care to avail them selves of its opportunities and During the last day ot the session the House was honored l>y she presente of Hon.
