These meetings have, "since the memory of man runneth not the contrary," perhaps, been held at this season in 'the' Albemarle, after the crop is laid by. Probably no more drastic changes have been made in any phase of country life by the automobiles and the paved roads than that in connec tion with the holding of these an nual series of meetings. ' There are still two daily sessions of the revival meeting at the coun try churches, one in the afternoon and the other at night. Time was when "meeting week" meant an entirely different schedule. Any one who lived in the country thirty years ago recalls- the exten sive preparation that every family made for this great occasion. There were in those days also two daily sessions of the meeting, but one was held in the morning and the other in the afternoon, and the last session ended in time for the people to drive their horse-drawn vehicles home before nightfall. This meant that dinner must be served on the ground. And what this dinner on the ground called for! It meant weeks of plan ning and preparation and for the women of the household it meant hours of work. The coming of the automobile changed all that along with other things. Hospitality no longer de mands that the folks who attend meeting from a distance of ten or fifteen miles must be fed before re turning. They are invited to. the homes of friends for supper, and generally a feast is spread.- But it is no longer necessary to pack bask ets and boxes of food every day and take it out to church and serve it on improvised tables on the church ground. Still, the revival meeting remains, and always will remain, an important event in the lives of country people. There old friends meet who haven't seen each other for years, in spite of automobiles, and there is still happy fellowship. The gathering together daily of a community of people in worship, listening to the Word, lifting hearts in prayer and voices in song, is still inspiring. For that same 5 Spirit which .. moved the hearts of the de vout of thirty years -ago thrills those today 'whose hearts are in tune. y " , Yes, In spite of outward change, the revival meeting is still a great event in the lives of our people. : THAT WHICH IS FIT, SURVIVES Somehow, much of the "sure and certain" attitude seems to have been taken out of the "moderns," both young and old, whom a few years ago, were trying to debunk almost everythinjr from the faith of. our fathers, on down to chape rones and old-fashioned blessing at meal time. We should' never .get so "modem" as to lose sight of the good, solid ideals that stood our fathers and mothers and their forebears in good stead for their natural lifetime. Only the other day we heard a fel low say: "'anything is all right in this day and time, if you can get by with it . . ; " Mister, you are wrong. It is quite possible, and quite wise, to acknowledge the mod ern changes all about us, and get in step with all that is changing for the better, and at the same time re tain some of the solid character and the unmoved faith in the older things that will always stand . . . Such as, for instance,' paying one's debts, and going to church,- and vis iting one's neighbors, and helping a friend in trouble, and insisting that children obey and respect older peo ple, and such things as that If a thing, or an ideal, is old, it is a sign that it was fit to live. Old families, old customs, old atylessur- vive Because tney are nt to survive. If you drown the good in a flood of the new, the right and good will come back to join the good which the new "brings with it. Old-fashioned hospitality, (such as is still alive in this good Roanoke-Chowan country) old-fashioned politeness, old-fashion ed honor in business all have had qualities of survival, and will come back in greater measure as the mov ing years beat out their march. Bertie Ledger-Advance. HIT OR MISS By M. L. W. "I want five cents worth of asfesta." The speaker was a small colored girl and the druggist, J. G. Roberson, was at a loss to under stand what the child wanted. Anoth er smaller child who accompanied the speaker at this point nudged the would-be purchaser in the ribs. "That aint right," . she whispered, "it's fessasti." Mr. Roberson gave the child a nickel's worth of assafoe dita which proved to be the article desired. There was no celebration of any kind at Fort Raleigh, on Roanoke Island, last Sunday, but no less than thirteen states were represented there that day. Taking note of so many out-of-state cars, I took occa sion to count thein and jto make a note of the states represented,, which included, in the order in which, they were counted, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, Utah, South Caronlia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama, as well as the District of Columbia.
