The following report OF Evangelist
Flies meeting at Front Royal, Va,
is taken from the Sentinel published
at that place:
Evangelist Fife is essentially Chris
tian in all that he does. There is
very little Of that element commonly
called nonsense about him He is
not brilliant man in the sense of be-
ing oratorical or f10wery in his Ian
guage To use his own vernacular he
calls things by their right names. for
instance be calls spade spade, not
an agricultural implement; when he
says hell he means he'll, etc.
His coming among US last Sunday had
been we'll advertised, so we'll in fact,
that the Opera House. the largest,
auditorium in the town. was full all
day. Especially was this SO at the
night service. when the jam was some
thing terrible. Behind as we'll as ia
'front.' OF the scenes was Utterly packed
with people.
Mr.. Fife is in earnest. Any one
with 'half an eye'' can see this He
breaches practical living religion.
There is too much theoretical religion
and not enough of the practical kind
in the world. He is also simple in his
illustrations. The children under
stand all that is said. His manner of
speaking is the conventional style He
calls his services ''plain little talks
The public does not need so many SER
mons as they need to be taught Gods
Word.
Mr.. Fife is cOnsecrated and Jealous
and spiritual; relying upon the Holy
Spirit to convict and convert sinful
hearts as well as to revive dropping
Christians. He certainly understands
the secret Of managing large crowds
successfully. Crowded houses have
been the rule all this week and will
| continue so to he as long as Mr.. Fife
shall remain with US. He announces
that the meetings must close next
Monday night, dec. 81, as there is
| another meeting, Anderson, w Va }
to be held before the holidays set in
There will be three services per day
all this week and four or five Lext
Sunday. Considerable active, personal
interest is already manifested, and
there have been goodly number of
requests for prayers and many recon
SecratiOnS.
The paper does not mention the
names of Mr.. Flies assistants who
were with him in Winston. 1t says
that Rev. George Argabrite, of At
lanta, leads the singing.

Y. NJ. C. A. ANNIVERSARY.
EXERCISES HELD AT THE FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
State Secretary Turner Makes an Ad-
dress-No Escape From the Re-
sponsibility Resting Upon Our
Towns-Fine Music.


The attendance at the Y. M. G. A.
Anniversary exercises, at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday after
noon, was not as large as it might or
should have been. However, those
present were treated to some excellent
music, redered by a male chorus, Of
some twenty-five voices, and an earn
est address by State Secretary Turner.
After short song service, Rev. +.
Fl. Wood offered a fervent prayer in
behalf Of the service and the work OF
the association
Rev. r E. Caldwell read an appro-
pirate lesson, selecting part OF the
Sd chapter of Ephesians.
The annual report of the Board of
Directors of the Winston Salem AS
ISOLATION (eXtracts from which appear
in today's SENTINEL was read by the
former president, DR.. r. H. Jones, who
also introduced the new State Secre-
tary.
Mr.. Turner spoke first of the great
responsibility that rested upon him.
He congratulated our association upon
the excellent report made, saying that
a deficit might be expected at time
when the whole business world was

panic.
He quoted Bishop Hendrix and 9TH
er eminent divines as saying that tie
Y. M. Q. A. was "the religious move
ment of the age" etc. He also read
the views of other experienced and
well known Christian workers as to
what the Y. M. G. A. has and is still
doing wherever it has been tried. He
gave statistics showing its rapid prog
ress during the past eighteen years.
why do we need associations in
our tOwns?"
Mr.. Turner answered this question
by saying that the object Of the assO-
citation is to prevent young men from
going into sin. 1t designs also to be
educational-to develop its members
mentally. Briefly, it is the right wing
of the Lords army. 1t brings denom-
nations together. The churches are
open only once or twice week. The
saloons are open day and night, there
fore we must have some influence to
put against the saloons and other
places of sin.
In speaking of the Winston Salem
Association he said it could be
proven that every member who
visited the rooms regularly received
$40 worth per year for the S. that he
paid.
Mr.. Turner, in speaking to business
men, referred to the fact that any OF
them would prefer for their employ
ees to visit the Y. M. G. A. rather
than saloons and gambling houses.
No man and no town Iiveth to itself,
said the Secretary, and there is no
escape from the responsibility resting
upon the towns and young men. No
good deed is lost. In saving some
body else's son you may save your own.
After singing hymn, the benedic-
tion was pronounced by Rev. w. A.

Attached If Tax is Not Paid by

1t may not be generally known that
the last Legislature passed law re-
garding private corporations to pay a

concerned we give below sections SO
and 81 of the Revenue Act, from
which it will be seen that this tax
must be paid on or before the first day
Of January to escape the penalties at
tached. The sections referred to are
as follows:
"On each and every private business
corporation railroads, banks and in
surance companies excepted), a fran
chise tax in proportion to the amount
of it's capital stock, according to the
following graduated scale, to-wit:
On corporations having a capital
stock of 1926. 900 90 or less, five dollars

By the terms of capital stock" in
this section is meant the authorized
amount Of capital stock fixed by the
corporation charter, or by the stock
holders pursuant to the powers
granted in the charter, whether the
said capital stock has been issued by
the corporations and is outstanding
or not. That in addition to the pen
alties otherwise provided in this act,
the continued failure to pay the fran
chise tax imposed by this section on
or before the f1rst day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
six Q896), shall cause forfeiture of
the charter of such defaulting corpo
ration, and it's charter in that event
shall be, and the same is, hereby
repealed.
"Every person who shall practice
any trade or profession or use any
franchise taxed by the laws of North

in this act, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and punished by fine,
not exceeding fifty dollars, or i'm
priSoned not exceeding thirty days,

All Blu. One Were Infants

One brother at the Methodist Con-
ference at Reidsville last week report
ed that he had received SITS for the
year on his circuit, which he said was
an increase Of so per cent. Bishop
Duncan remarked that that was much
like the report made from Georgia
charge whose members were congrat-
ulating themselves upon the 100 per
cent increase they had paid over the
previous years's cohtributions-the
report showed 81 cents raised and
same preacher who had received S175
had family. He reported lit per-
sons baptized. Rev. f. Fl. Wood, of
Wizston, asked il they were all adult
baptisms, which elected the response:
mo, 1I6 of them were infants" This
made the Conference room ring out
with laughter.

Scotch Agricultural Laborers.

The agricultural laborers of Scotland
are, as a class, healthy and temperate.
They receive small wages. The Scottish
peasantry have played an important part
in the development Of the nation. They
are thrifty, religious and well educated
thanks to the facilities for education pro-
vided for them through the nberality of
the church of Scotland. 1t is from this
class that many of Scotia's eminent sons
have arisen. They are, however, very
poor, and when their children are young
they are unable to provide for sickness or
death. They work IL hours q day, receive IA
or Is shillings a week, have free house,
with u small garden. AS the children
grow up they are sent into service to re-
lieve the burden that rests upon the par
ents. From their well stocked gardens
the Scottish agricultural laborers obtain
potatoes, green vegetables and fruit.
Many of them get their milk either free
or at nominal cost from the farm. The
family breakfast consists of porridge and
milk. Dinner of broth, meat and pota-
toes and tea; at 6 p. IN. they have por-
ridge and milk, followed by tea, with
bread, butter and jam. The wife of one
of the cottars, who furnished the facts
through DR.. Wylie, Stewarton, Ayrshire,
for me- states that her husband receives
10 shillings week and the allowances al
ludcd TO, and that she is able to keep the
household-that is, her husband, self and
five children-on 12 to 13 shillings week,
the remainder being required for clothing,
boots, etc. The cottar, practically, can
make no provision whatever for sickness
and death, unless in few cases only,
where he pays penny or twopence a week
into burial society. 1t is when his chii-
dren grow up and enter service that he
may be able to save little money.-Fort-
nightly Review.

made her face look younger and the lines
near her mouth less determined. Her nerv-

nearer.

She flung out her hands and laid them
on his arms.
Come here, quite Close Iwant to tell
you something"
His startled face led her on.
You were wrong, quite wrong, in one
thing you said. You have conquered in
it, as in all else I love you as only
woman can love who has fought and strug-
gled against it, and love has beaten her
and Won"
He drew back, but the beseeching fin
gers hold him fast.
Don't turn away. Don't harden your
heart. If you knew how have suffered.

His face grew distressed. She continued
somewhat wildly:
Cant you care for me still' Surely
all your love is not dead. will be content
with so little, dear, but must have that.
Do you think a woman can have all your
tenderness and care and not die when she
misses it, as 1 should do, every hour of
the day? For PHYS sake love me as you
have always done and let me love you"
He +, himself growing hard. She SEEM
ed to have lost her power to move him.
Her fascination had lain in the fact that
she had never attempted to attract. The
moment she wished to win him the charm
fled.
Surely, dear, surely, 1t is SO easy to
love and so cruel to doubt. You have for
given SO much. Forgive just once again."
1T isn't" and his voice sounded dead
and long way of, "it isn't question of
forgiveness
What thenr'
"Of love-"
She made him kneel down beside her
and wound her arms around his neck.
But If adore you," she whispered
If worship you, can't you wake the old
love againf'
He answered, Twill try"
But they both knew that the new love
would be different-a baser, lower thing,
with the wife dethroned who had meant
to be queen forever. And both, as men
and women must pretended to believe it
would remain the same.-Clara Saville-
