SERMON IS

Anyone who failed to hear I
Trawick's sermon last Sunday mis
ed a clear and well thought o
presentation of a great troth. J
a standard of self measurement
the life of the individual it was
great value to all who abhor hype
ricy and any of the smug illiusioi
with which men are wont to delui
themselves. As an evidence of tl
fact that there are no denominatio
al barriers to tho spread of tl
truth, it was of great and time
value to the thinking Christians
Tryon; great because of its simpll
Ity; timely because it pointed 01
! the folly of maintaining or tryii
to maintain many poorly attend*
and poorly supported places of wo
ship when a few well attended ai
well financed churches could sen
the church-going pubHc with gres
er efficiency.
For three successive Sundays tl
pulpit of the Ersklne Memori
Church has been filled by mlnlstei
of different denominations, one
Congregationalism one a Presbyteris
and last, a Methodist Each hi
brought a forceful, hopeful, ai
therefore helpful messdge to pe
pie who gratefully received it. Eat
has we trust brought nearer the d?
when in towns of the size of Tryc
there shall be but two Btroi
churches, one with and one withoi
& ritual, both ministering effective'
to a untied people now divided t
lines of denominational prejudlci
which hamper instead of helping tl
spread of Christian influence.
Next Sunday, Dr. Lewis Kelle
President of the Atlanta Theolof
cal Seminary will preach at the Co
grational Church. Those who' kno
Dr. Keller predict that his sermc
will maintain the high standard i
excellence which has marked thoi
of his predecessors.
The work of securing a permanei
pastor for the Erskine Memori
Church is progressing rapidly.

Soon Will Be

A much-needed and efficent addiion
to the Lanier Library will be
he new Heading Room which is in
>rocess of construction, and will be
oniplcted, within a few months.
It is the gift of Mr. James S. Hol[cn
of Detroit in the name of his
ather and mother who for many
'tars have been enthusiastic and
.cute citizens of Tryon. N0 more
iseiul and beautiful apreciation of
that Mr. and Mrs. Holden mean to
1'ryon could be shown than by this
ddition to the Library.
The new room will fill a long felt
taut in the Library, and when finshej
an(i furnished will contain book
helves, reading tables and oomortable
chairs, as well as a goodly
lumber of the best periodicals and
lewspapers. It is the Plan of the
ianier Club to keep the room opeu

and in comfort, and there is
10 doubt that it will be filled with
eaders every .day.
The architect for this addition is
dr. J. Foster Searles, and the bulldog
contractor Mr. Creasman. Mr.
iearles has planned a very attractive

f which Tryon will have reason to
ie proud.
