Bethlehem Meeting Countinus With Great Crowds—II. E. Waldrop Preaches Strong Sermons To The Editor of The Star: The Bethlehem revival conducted by Rev. W. N. Cook, pastor, and by Rev. II. E. Waldrop of Shelby, is now well on its way towards its possibili ties. While there has not yet, (Tues day) been any special appeal urged upon the unsaved, still there is evi dent power of the Holy Spirit as it throbs within the hearts of the Christ ians, urging them to respond to the need of God. Open and plain old time gospel has been hurled into the clear view of the sinner; but the plea thus far, in the main, has been given to call the Christians to a sense of Christian duty. That one clear cnll for Christian duty was evidenced by hundreds Tuesday night when Bro Waldrop so ably, turning his face to wards God, proclaimed bis subject, “How others may know I'm a Christ ian.” llis scripture reference is found in John 13:34-35 — the reference from which he formulated four truths by which on" may know, “How others may know I’m a Christian.” (1), By my daily life. Of th" daily life of the sinner and of the church member, he cried, “People, I tell you, want to know a difference in church mem ber:." And n few minutes later, stepping from the rostrum, added as though unde r a mighty burden, “The n an who goes out and curses the churches and the preachers ought to g; t out of the church, and then come hack to the church from the Devil’s angle.” My reader, Bro Waldrop may not be missing you so much, but if you are not bearing him Vou arP missing him. His third formulation was (3) By the fruit I hear, (Gal. 5:22-23). (4) By my love one for the other. I hen the favor ended when he, in seemingly a half-broken r.pirit, quietly plead, “Nothing l eap say can suvd you if you believe not the scripture.’.’. ■ Evidently revived somewhat by the rest of tlm night, the servant of God came hi: k Tuesday morning to speak v "<> i t,h ‘ authority of Luke 19:10: “Lost, Lost, Lost,”. (1) Lost for tune: (2) Lost character; (3) Lost confidence*, and finally (4) Lost soul— melting plain his words, “When we put all together that’s lost it cannot b" as much as a lost soul.” Two were converted. 'Iti- defense for God was carried on Tin day night with the suhieet nn»t the test, “Prepare to meet thy God,” ( Amo 4:12) (1) God must be “met” then sh- wing that “It costs too much tn fail to prepare to meet God..” (2) V.-bv propqrt to meet God. (3) How _ “Mast he born again.” Then step phur from the rostrum, Bro. Waldrop in a sympathetic spirit and out of a fit- .g love, uttered in a solemn hut lie dialing voice his last words of the r rmon, “if there is a sin in your life which you have not confessed vou ore not prepared to meet God.” Tv* girl: cave their lives to God and ticked for baptism.

There is much to do. The writer exneets to see an outburst yet this week for the Spirit of God is here—who can withstand! Bro. Cook is working on and in. 15ro Waldrop is giving hi« soul in his r.penkings as though bleeding at his post of duty.

Waldron, Wednesday morn irp, unhesitatingly responding to the call of the Spirit, proclaimed, “Thou fool, this night thy soul is required of thee,".(Luke 12:16-20). (1) He ffopl) left others out of his life. He “thought within himself”—not of his friends, net of his brother, not of his community, not of God. (2) Ho tried to feed h's soul on material things. (3) He thought riches meant erse to the soul. (4) He thought he had a lease on life. Put Oh! “th'« night"—“this night.” (5) If-> left ( f out of his life. Matt. L.<:14, 16. “Ye are the light of the world,” was the subject, for : Wednesday night. Bro. Waldrop 'llrew the analogy that just as an elec tor fight has to have a source from which to draw its light that the soul most have a source from which to drew—a source “of God.” The last per! was a plea for the pre-eminepfe rf Christ in the soul as a source of “light.” Two accepted Christ as their savior; and one remained as a rnnlida'e for baptism. Four others came lik" men and women and re mained for nmyer—an evidence of the “I :rht” of God. Thursday morning service closed with the benediction of God upon. There were ten conversions and one c'wiiw-Minn just following the dismiss. b1. Mighty power of God was pres mi*-—fathers., mothers and Christ i-m worked' in personal service like the actiyjf bees. The message from John 12:21, “Come and dine,” was short and simple but convinc amic. The main plea was f God as described ,jr ged, “How can yot BIG INCREASE IN HIGHWAY FUNDS Automobile Hurcnii Seeks New Ad dresses For Licenses Which Were Returned A total increase of $310,88.'!.04 was made in the collections of the high way and theft fund during the cur rent fiscal year to July 31, over col lections to July 31, oft the preceding fiscal year, according to n statement issued recently by Commissioner of Revenue R.

Stilwell, the “other halt” of the Piggly-Wiggly got married. He! married Miss Pearl Francis, Wednes day at six o’clock. The account of the wedding will be found in the social column of this issue of The Star. So that is not the story. The story is, what McConnell (the ■ Other half of the Piggly-Wijntly) and 1 d couple of his side kicks did to Stil well after the ceremony. It was a wedding trip stunt, different from most in that it got over; and got over big. It was like this: Stilwell got a hunch that something was coming. His sixth sense told him he was in for a trick, and to forestall the joke smiths, he had his car parked some blocks from the bride’s home, where the ceremony took place. But just before six o’clock the pros pective bridegroom got wind of the fact that the car had been found. So he sent it far out in West Marion street, where is was parked in an ob scure corner. It looked for a time that McConnell nnd his friends were beaten. But list ft few minutes before the cere mony, the car was found, upon the axle of which a huge cow-bell was locked, with a lock so hefty that it was seemingly unbreakable. The bell was stuffed with paper, to prevent it making a noise before the wedding party got well started. Fred Morton, one of Stilwell’s close friends, took him and his bride to the parked car on West Marion, where it was figured all would be found well. The counlc got in, said a joyous good bye to Morton and were off. All went well until they hit a deep rut; the pa per in the bell fell out, and the darn thing began to clang. It was a big bell and it made a fuss and then some. Blushing to the roots of his hair, sensing the worst, Stilwell got out and examined the nature of the joke He found the bell so securely locked to the axle that there was nothing to be done. “What 8 the matter," asked the bride, seeing her husband very much perturbed. “Oh, nothing,” said Stilwell, “just a part of the axle loose and Jostling about.” The last seen of the Bride and groom they were headed west, the be'r ringing for dear life, Stilwell sitting slouched down behind the steering wheel doing his level best to keep out of sight. The number of murders in England and Wales has remained almost steady for 60 years, being, 160 annually. Wiiat He ('alls Her JTe-'r*— .
