EAGER TO GET ROME.
House Will Try No More Financial Legisa-
ton at This Session.

Washington, Feb 15.-Thcre will be no
further financial legislation attempted by
the House at this session. Members of
the House are now looking forward with
impotence to the adjournment, and the
committee on rules is constantly impor-
tuned for special orders for certain i'm
portant bills which have not yet received
consideration by the House. and which
can be rushed through the Senate, it is
believed, if they can reach that body dur
the last week of the session. One of these
is the naval reorganization bill, and
another is the Nicaragua canal bill. All
talk of an extra session has ended.

COLORED CENTENAKIAN.
Death of Rachel Wilson Near New
bern, N. @.

There was buried from Rue's Chapel,
colored, near Newbern, Sunday after
noon, one of the oldest individuals of
the State, one who had long passed
her allotted time Of three score years
and ten and lived until she reached
the ripe old age of one hundred and
three years, says the Journal
The deceased was Rachel Wilson,
who made her home in Newbern
eighty two years ago, at which time
she was twenty-One years of age. She
was born on the banks in Carteret
county, born free but according to the
then prevailing CUSTOM she was bound
out until she was twenty-one years
old. She came to NeWbern on her
twenty-first birthday. The expiration
of the period during which she was
bound establishes her age at that
time, and an historical event of the
city which happened the year she
came, not long after her arrival, fixes
the date of her coming as 1913 From
these two known facts the year 1892 is
quite satisfactorily shown to have
been the year of her birth, making
her as stated, lob years old at the time
of her death.
The deceased does not leave many
descendants. All her children are dead
except the two youngest one daughter
and one son. The latter is David
Wilson, who is now sixty years old.
She leaves a few grandchildren also
but no descendants of remoter gen

CURED on September 11th, 81 miles
Northeast of Concord.
Mr.. Jackson Safirit and his sons,
Robert and Victor, were assisted
by laborers John Bost and Anderson
Cruise.
All five of the above named were
under the shed in the lumber room in
which the machine had been running
Robert Safrit was under the mill
changing the knives to dress coarser
lumber when suddenly something
went wrong with the working of the
engine. 1t was only an instant until
the report of the explosion was heard
when the engine, boiler and platform
on which it was built, shot through
the shec into the air, and fell at d
distance of about seventy-eight feet
from its base, sweeping as it went the
shed from its foundation and blowing
pieces of machinery and lumber in
every direction for several hundred
yards. The lumber shed and one end
OF work shop were completely de-
molished and splintered, leaving only
fragments of the buildings and heap
of wreckage on the mill site.
As it passed through the shed, Mas
ter Victor Safrit was caught up by the
engine and badly mangled His skull
was crushed, one arm and one leg bro
ken. His death was instant. Among
the debris was found Mr.. Safrit, faith
er of the boy that was killed, with a
large hole in his right temple and
otherwise bruised; his wounds are
considered fatal, and he may die at
any time.
Mr.. John Bost, father of five chill
dren, aged about 80 years, was found
under the wreck in an unconscious

Mr.. Robert Safrit, who owns the
planning mill, is about 20 years old
and showed great presence of mind in
laying flat under the machine when
the gulSching engine and boiler passed
directly over him. He escaped with
few slight bruises on the face and
back.
Anderson Cruise, a laborer, who lives
probably mile and a half from the
scene of the explosion, was badly hurt
about the face and head. He walked
from the wreck to his home where he
became unconscious. His injuries
are not serious, although he is badly
injured.
Mr.. David Barrier was within a few
feet of the boiler, putting lumber lIn-
der the shed where the others were.
He was the only one on the outside of
the shed, and when hearing the GU
rlous noise about the engine gave the
alarm of danger and ran, barely es-
Gaping being blown into atoms by
flying pieces of the boiler. He was
struck on the left side and badly seal
ded by steam.
Master Victor Safrit who was killed,
was bright little fellow of 10 years.
ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
The saw mill of Jeffries Bros, at
Keyser, on the Seabord Airline, was
destroyed by an explosion CT the boil
er Monday afternoon. Those who
where injured were George Briggs,
white, and William Bland and Bob
Elliott, colored. Bland was terribly
scalded and had his skull fractured
and will probably die. Bob Elliott
was badly scalded and George Briggs
was badly cut.

nation of the world and regeneration

nation of the world and regeneration
of each individual.
You can come into the church
without religion, but IL you want to
be Christian you must have religion.
II we could get the Church of God on
its knees and get a baptism from
above we could take the world.
He believed in human depravity.
We were born out of whack. There
are two potent forces -heredity and
environment.
The preacher argued the transmits
sion of toe drink habit and other sins
from parent to child. If you go
around drinking whiskey and realize
that you can transmit the habit to
your child, you are the most disreput-
able scoundrel in the world.
Environment. That's why he was
down on your Club. A member told
him they had no gambling there. He
asked him how many conversions
they had had: The member said
none. Twin-City Club! I'm agin
it," If his boy should join it he'd
tell him he couldn't put his feet under
his dining table again. A preacher
had told him this Club was hot bed
OF sin. Some old fellow that has to
grease his joints with Wizard Oil
before he can get out Of bed, joining d
damnable thing like that.
Sam asked what they called that
annual meeting the club held. Some
one infoI med him. They gave dances
and if they don't do anything more
than that that would put them in
hell before breakfast.
He then sailed into the dance and
lashed it from hat to heel.
Which is the stronger, heredity or
environment? You will have both
forces to fight and you can't fight
them successfully without religion.
Get religion. Get it good. Get it
so you'ld know you've got it.

we are not in it. We give only our
spare change. We need three square
meals day and good nights lodg-
ing. [ always get them. We also
need spiritual breakfast, dinner and
supper. We throw aside spiritual
food.
Mr.. Stuart called upon all who read
their bible and prayed three times
day to stand up. No one arose. He
then called upon those who prayed
twice day. Twelve stood up. Thir-
teen arose, thereby sgnifying that
they had secret places for prayer.
We are starving to death for spirit
ual food, said the Evangelist. We
should make test of Gods love and
live. An all around church member
will work and pull anywhere Go to
work for God and don't be a babe all
your life.
The sermon was interspersed with
many plain and practical illustrations
and the large audience listened atten-
lively to the interesting and timely
discourse.

SERMON ON PRAYER.
Rev. George Stuart breaches With
Great Power.

Rev. George Stuart breaches With
Great Power.
The service held at o'clock Thurs
day afternoon was conducted by Mr..
Jones' partner" Rev. George Stuart,
who preached sermon of great power
and earneStneSS.
THE SERMON.
Mr.. Stuart announced his text
from second Thessalonians, 3:I:
FINALLY, brethren, pray for US, that
the word of the Lord may have free
course, and be glorified.'
The sermon was full of thought and
THE SENTINEL regrets that it has
not the space for full report. He
said that preacher is nothing-it is
man on the platform who knows
what sermon is or what it is worth,
because we do not know what God is
going to do with it.
The question is not what you think
OF Sam Jones or George Stuart. Judge
ment and criticism is not what we
want. Ii is easy to criticise. Pray
for US but don't criticise US. God
give Us common sense and let us be
the way, even if the efforts are not
just after your style and fashion? The
English language is simply vehicle
to haul thought in.
The way to get an inf1del is to
preach a gospel sermon. 1t is the
simplest thing that saves. Some
preachers have to have their sermons
moulded for the occasion.
St. Paul wrote: "Brethren, pray
for u.s." That is what we want and
need. Many will resist eloquence, but
mi, ha 81
rightfully preached is irresistible.
You say it is all right for woman
to dress immodestly-with no sleeves
or tops to their dresses-and 90 to the
ballroom or attend the theatre; but it
is all wrong for them to pray and
shout in public. Away with such
stuff. No modest woman will dress
that way. When it comes to church
work it is immodest for women to do
things, but if it's society, flesh and the
devil it's all right. / say bosh
We have family prayers at my
house; my wife and children pray; l
thank God for woman's prayer. 1t is
the woman who can pray most earnest
ly. Woman has written the sweetest
songs. II you want to find humility,
hospitality and fidelity, go to woman.
Ii we can get the Christians of this
town to praying we will have glOri-
Gus meeting. Lay down your crit1-
cism and come up man to man and
woman to woman.
The sermon contained many forci-
BILE and truthful illustrations and the
fruits of the discourse was shown by
the large number of people who went
forward. at the close, and gave the
preacher their hands, thereby promis-
ing to pray and work for glorious
meeting.
One lady became happy and gave
vent to her feelings by shouting.

GROW IN GRACE. =
That Was the Subject OF Evangelist
Stuart's Sermon.

6Lu6TtS S6FmOn.
Rev. George Stuart conducted the
service at the Warehouse at 8 O'Clock
Friday afternoon. He preached an
able sermon to a large congregation.
After reading lesson from Hebrews
on Teaching" be announced his text
to be one word, "Grow."
St. Peter exhorted the people to
s'grow in grace and in the knowledge
of Jesus Christ"
In order to get hot afternoon grip
on the subject, / will say that we are
fools and babies" How few are
thoroughly informed and well deSel-
oped Christians. We are not educated,
nor are we familiar with the work
assigned US. 1t is astonishing how
much we know about everything else
except religion.
Mr.. Stuart told how professional
and business men (church members)
look after the affairs in this world,
but when you ask them if they hold
family prayers, pray in public, etc,
they answer no. What are they doing
for Christ? Nothing.
Man ought to let christianity come
first. The common expression heard
is that II have no talents" The
trouble is that we do not develop the
talents we possess for Christian work.
We do not apply ourselves. One
effort is enough in Christianity, but
we will try until we succeed in other
things.
Every pious man holds family
prayer and is willing to talk In prayer
meeting.
There are three elements of grace
life, food aud exercise. Christians
are the only ones that do not bdtome
fully grown. Brother, get up Oh the
quilt and take your thumb outof your

Every pastor in this town has full

that John Wanamaker, the great

we understand the plan is to purchase
the entire town and transform it into
a huge summer and winter resort.
