A n,
I ran across another bit of
wisdom the other day. It com
es from tht Globe, Toronto,
Ont., entitled “The Obituary
of a Prayer Meeting.” It goes
like this:
“Miss Faithful Prayer Meet
ing died recently at Neglect
ville, in the State of Worldli
ness, She was born many years
ago amid revival fires. Miss
Prayer Meeting had lived a
very notable life until recent
years. For some time past she
had been confined to her home
because of business engage
ments and severe attacks of
fatigue and nervousness. These 1
symptoms were always more*
noticeable prayer meeting
nights.
She was troubled with stiff
ness of the knees during pray
er, coldness of heart, and low
blood pressure. Inactivity,
weakness of the will power
and general diminished vital
ity marked the last stages of
her illness. Her last hours
were accompanied by much
PauCarmck
TPITJS STORY of two persons who learned to conquer ir.er
* selves wm told me by David S. Gonyer, Bridgii oit, Cc
iftcr h c came out of the Army. •
• Ills mother was injured in an automobile accident and
(est her in a nervous state just before David en
listed in the navy. His enlistment hit her hat d
and in her condition she made no effort to con
quer her worry over him. No matter that many
other i ithers were suffering the same trial, no
matter 1 Sat the majority of our soldiers and
oaiiois have returned safe and sound from our
wars, she saw only bei 4 own trouble.
So David wasn’t frank with her and allowed
her to think that he was not stationed anywhere
near a danger zone, although he was in the thick
of the fighting at Leyte Island. He also asked
relatives and mutal friends not to tell her where
fie was.
Suddenly letters from her ceased and his sister wrote she
had burned her hand but was all right. Later her letters resumed.
It wasn't until he came home that he learned she had worried
herself Into a nervous breakdown immediately following someone
accidentally telling her that he was in action. When he saw her
after his return she had to be carried up and down the stairs.
One day her doctor knowing that her illness was due wholly
to her mental attitude, suggested that she try Christian Science.
She asked a practitioner to visit her, and after several discussions,
»he was convinced that her trouble was brought on by her
own self.
When David arrived home, he scoffed at Christian Science;
but only for a short while after he heard his mother's story. She
had been so ill that sh? had been sent to a hospital. That was
wneu tier letters to David had ceased. It was after she had
gained faith in God through Christian Science that she resumed
her latter writing. His mother’s example so impressed David
that n*vcr again will he be subject to Fear as he once knew it.

sobbing and groaning over the
“good days’ of her early life,
but only a very few stood by
her in her last struggles. It
seems the blight of Modernism
acted as sort of a creeping
paralysis over her of late.
She leaves to moirn their
loss, many churches, preach

also many unsaved persons
outside the pale of the church,
who often sought her help in
times of trouble.

It is suspected that treachery

discovered as responsible.”

just here. The responsible wit

THE TREE
As sturdy it stands against
the sky,
Its branches reaching like
hands to bless,
I ventured to ask, .‘will you
teli me why
For ages you’ve stood through
storm and stress?”
I listen-it seemed to speak and
say, . * .
“In patience I live through
every hour,
Darkness of night and light of
day
Contribute, alike and give me
power
To stand and grow the cen
turies through.
I take the sleet, the ice and
snow,
As well as the gentle rain and
dew,
For blessing, when storm
winds blow
My roots sink deeper to an
chor me
And that is my secret” said
the Tree.

OPS TO COOPERATE IN
FEED PRICE CONTROLS
, All the services of the Char
lotte District Office of Price
Stabilization have been offered
the State Farmers Home Ad
ministration to insure that
drought-stricken farmers pay
no more than ceiling prices on
supplies they need.
“We fear that the drought
may precipitate pressure on
ceiling prices of the things the
farmer has to buy at this
time’, E. E. Huffmon, Acting
Distrirt Price Executive, has
informed J. B. Slack of Ral
eigh, State FHA Director.
Mr. Hugman’s letter contin
ued: ‘"‘Some suppliers who
know that the farmer can se
cure loans to purchase such
item 5 as feeds, fertilizers, and
other thingh necessitated be
cause of the drought, may take
undue advantage of the farm
er in the matter of prices.
“We want you to know that
we are going to do everything
we can to protect the farmer
in such cases, and if you learn
of any cases in which you sus
pect that undue advantage is
being taken of the farmer in
order to secure abtive the ceil
ing prices, we would lise for
you to let us know about it
promptly”.
Similar letters have gone
and for its initial years, dir
ector of the Parkway Play
house.
While with the Vagabond
Players here he is appearing
this week as the Baron in
“Captain Carvallo” and next
week is scheduled to handle
a feature role in “The Happy
Time”, the final play of the
season.
