At the Central Methodist Church at Con cord Sunday Be Preached a Fine Seraac a An Analysis of It Proceedings of the Convention. . . , Correspondence of the Observer. K Concord, May 30. The first service of to-day was an Epworth League devo tional meeting, conducted by Rev. J. W. Roberts. This meeting began aU4:30 and continued more than an hour. . SERMON BY REV. JAMES ATKINS, D. D. At 11 o'clock Rev. James Atkins, who is the Sunday school editor of the Mbth. odist Episcopal church. South, and who is recognised as one of the leading men of the church, preached a sermon of deep thought and great power before the Conference.. The text is found in Luke 10:17-20. "And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwith standing in this, rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. There are many things involved in this lesson concerning tne return of the seventy which I desire to study to-day. First. Our Savior sent out two great commissions before his crucifixion and one after, the first of twelve and the second seventy. ' The commentators say the number was twelve in the first instance because these were twelve tribes in Israel and seventy the second because in the Jew ish Sanhedrin there were seventy mem bers. However, I do not agree with these commentators. I believe He sent out twelve in the first Instance because He had not 13 and 70 in the second be cause He had not il. He sent all the real followers He had into the work. There is no limitation to His work ex cept the limitation occasioned by lack of laborers. There must be a fitness for work coupled with ability and backed by wil lingness to do the work in every phase of work. Such workmen as these are never out of work except in times of financial stringency or unusual up heavals. The higher we go in the scale of life the fewer well equipped laborers we find. There are few well equipped hod-carriers, still fewer carpenters, still fewer lawyers and doctors and fewer well equipped preachers than any other class of workers, for this is the highest class of workers. The great- eft need of the world to-day is that of well-equipped laborers in every work in life. L". lie sent these men out two and two, not one anil one. or three and three,' but two and two, thus empha sizing the need of companionship in work and the number tvo is symbolic of the original institution of the home where God established this institution with two persons. Here Dr. Atkins gave the young peo ple some excellent advice on the sub ject of intimate friendship and com panionship, warning them against ill formed association with men, women and books, stating that untold good can often be accomplished by one who has proper companionship who will ut terly fail If ill associated. 3. He not only sent them out two and two. but sent them out under a com mission to heal the sick, cleanse the leper, raise the dead and cast out dev ils, the grandest commission ever as signed to mortal man. In this connec tion Jesus Christ slated what their compensation was to be w hen He said, "Freely ye have received, freely give." It will be seen that this commission in volves both natural and supernatural power. 4. The di.sciples returned with rejoic ing Bud recited their triumphs to Him. Many opinions are expressed regarding the declaration of our Saviour when He speaks of having seen Satan fall as lightning from heaven, but I believe He meant in the first place to show that Satan was created and is governed bv our Father in heaven and in the second place to emphasize the power of the Gospel. When Jesus told His disciples to re joice not at their successes. He did not mean to discourage them in the worK they had been doing among the phys ically afflicted, but He merely wanted to impress them with the fact that there is greater reason than this for them to rejoice, namely, because their names are written in heaven. He de sired to impress them and us also that success in Christian work does not mean salvation and He desired to show them that If nothing follows but salva tion from their work that salvation is at the top, and means more than all else. I do not believe God ever called an unsaved person into His service, but the saddest sight in the world Is to see one who, having been saved and Is do ing successful work among other tor Christ and yet himself has fallen away from God himself. There is no man or woman, however well established in Christian faith, however consecrated to God but who at times in life feels the need to fall back in the arms of Infinite love, when only God can sustain us. . The only kind of abedience wftlcn is acceptable to God la that which comes through love and not through fear. God is a God of love and the doctrine of this passage is that when we give ourselves to God our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and God will never allow them to be blotted out until He has done everything He can bv His love and mercy- and we deliber ately discard this love and mercy and choose ourselves to be lost rather to be saved. It is oossible. it is in the power of every one, however prominent or ob scure in the world to reign in heaven in the world to come, preaching to the angels and reciting the history of the life liven here. Thank God for such a prosiect in the power of every man. woman and child to enjoy forever. Let us carry the thought with us that whatever success we have, nothing is in the least degree comparable to hav ing our names written in heaven and unless we have the realisation that this is true of us all else we have done, are doing or will do will count for nothing, in time or eternity. SUNDAY AFTERNOON oASS MEET ING. After appropriate devotional exercises Rev. C. W. Willis made a practical talk on the formation of character especially in connection with the work of the Sun day school and Sunday school teacher. He illustrated his remarks with straight and crooked twigs to represent both youth and age of good and wicked persons. The three forces which go far in making up the Christian character are (1) '-Christlike example (2) Knowl edge of Christ. (3) Personal surrender to Christ. The next speaker. Rev. Plato T. Dur ham, based him remarks upon the force of emample especially with refer ence to the Epworth League. Rev' W. C. Willson. the last speaker, said he rejoiced in the fact of young people's organizations and wondered that the world was so long In finding out a use for young people. The words found in Matt.

This is a crystalized truth spoken by our Lord to His disciples, and like many other truths utted by Him it Is At the close of this sermon, approprt. ate remarks were made by the presi dent of the Conference and by the pas tor of the church, and another similar conference was announced for next year, the doxotogy was sung, the bene diction pronounced and the Conference adjourned sine die.

About 1:58 o'clock this afternoon three distinct tremors of earthquake were felt here. They shook the capital and caused doors to shut and plaster to fall at some places. It is alleged that the Agricultural Department was crack ed, but the cracks are probably old ones. It Is said that some bricka fell from the chimney of a residence near the capitol.

The Attorney General replies that there seem to be some doubt as to this and that under the de cision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Citizens' National Bank ot this city against the State Treasurer, as re. ported In the 119th North Carolina re ports, where there is doubt the rea urer ought not to pay out money until a Court of competent jurisdiction passes on the matter. The Attorney General has rendered the following opinion to W. Feim ster. of Newton: "Your communication of recent date requesting my opinion as to whether the commissioners of Catawba county, who failed to elect a county superin tendent of health on the first Monday in May. as is required by sec. 1, chap. 201, Laws 1897, amending sec. S of chap. 214, Laws 1893, and when "this term of office begins, has been received. It would seem that the failure of the commis sioners to elect may be remedied by holding an election at some other meet ing, and that the commissioners are not functi officio, but still have the power to act in the premises treating the time fixed in the act as merely di rectory.

It wa conclu sively shown at the baccalaureate ser mon yesterday as the seniors marched In. two by two. The caps and towns '. worn by them contributed to the dig-., nity and impress! ven ess of the occa- , sion. Then, too. the senior class, and DrJ Alderman, with other members of the faculty, have done much to make the exercises more entertaining and ap propriate than usual. Sunday was but an jeamest of this endeavor and Tues day and Wednesday will mark the ful- nllment of them. t r , - ABSTRACT. Dr. J. S. Felix, of -Ashevllle. who. preached . took his text from Rom. 8-28: "And we know all things work together for good to them that love God: to them who are the called according to His purpose." The following la an outline of the sermon?" First, God, in the creation of the world, must have had a purpose in view. Just what that was. we are not able to fully comprehend, but tt Is a re- quirement of reason that there must have been some purpose. The world Is not an accident. Generally speaking, wei would say God had in view His own i glory; that it, He must have acted'ln manner worthy of Humself. There must have been a correspondence be tween what God was and what God ; did. . Second, that purpose must have been a benevolent one. It is simply Impos sible to suppose otherwise without do- ing violence to the very -character of God. Could He have had a malicious purpose? This is abhorrent to the very nature God has given us. True, we should be careful here. We should not erect standards and require God to be measured by them. We are fallible. And yet there are necessary lines of thought, because we are as God made ... ,1 u eannnt hell eve that God could have made man with the purpose In mind to laniauze aim uutuijr u . If such a thing comes, It is not be cause God desires it. We do not over look the existence of sin. And yet such a thing must be consistent with a good . purpose of God. We may not know how i to harmonize these two things, but we often have to believe in things we can not harmonize. Not that they do not harmonize, for they must, even though we are not able to say why. We do not overlook the troubles and sorrows of life. And yet many of these very things are really great blessings. They are not inconsistent with a great final piirpoe of good on the part of God. Third. This benevolent purpose will be fulfilled. It is absolutely certain to be. If not, it must be because there is . t riorl Thai, is HUfUC , , i . not conceivable. The malice of hell and the hate of man can never in wart nie ; great ultimate purpose of God. Godis; sovereign, and man Is free, but not free In the sense that he can prevent the , purpose of God from being fulhlled. This brings to mind the comforting truth that there is far more of good in the world than evil. It does not always seem so. but evil Is loud-mouthed and rampant. It obtrudes Itself on your no tice. But good is reserved and modest. , You hear but little said about the good; much about the evil. The quiet things . s a enHe T 9 ima atlirpl are me mui. picih. a a .. coufll jirer up in one day every tear j n.. from t VlO 0V nf thf RVm- patheTlc. every kind word that, like a bright star makes glad some poor hum In heart r every alms that suffuses with Joy the haggard face of want, every noble aspiration that rises singing from the soul like birds from their nest. It would be found that the good far out weighs the evil. ' Fourth Those who love God are one with Him. and share In His glorious consummation. For to love , God im plies sympathy with His thoughts, obe dience to His will we wish for the very things He wishes for. Therefore, we know that all tnings work together for good to them that love God. Those who do not love can not share in this glory. The fault is theirs. That which will work for the good of the godly, will work for the de struction of the ungodly. This evening at 8 o'clock the annual alumni meeting or the imiectlc ikni .
