Last evening the Rev. c. NJ Oil
plant, pastor of the First Christian
Church, preached the last of his series
of sermons on conversion. Next Sun
day he will preach the first OF two in
teresting series of sermons. In the
morning he will preach series on
"The Reformers," the programme fol-
lowing: February 3, Luther" Feb
ruary TO- Calvin" February II, yves
ley" and February "a. Campbell"
The evening series is entitled Young
Men of the Bible and the programme
includes the following: February g.,
Joseph, the Pure" February 10,
David, the Noble;" February II, "A5-
salon, the iWayward," and February
"a, Daniel, the Faithful" These new
series promise to be very interesting.
The subject of last evenings sermon
was "The Conversion of the Corinthi-
ans" Mr.. Oliphant chose his text
from Acts 1873: The Corinthians
hearing, believed and were baptized"
The Rev. Oliphant began by saying:
s'This text gives us scriptural pre-
cedent." He then explained that a
scriptural precedent was an author
lied example, and that his hearers
might not become confused, he stated
that the difference between a precedent
and an example was that an example
had no authority outside of itself,
while a precedent is an authorized
something that is handed down from
the past and authorizes a subsequent
act of like nature.
A Scriptural Precedent.
The first general division of the SER
mon was "a scriptural precedent differs
from all others in three particulars.
First it is not originated by society
or customs of men, but its authority IS
God. 1t stands not in the wisdom of
men, but in the powers of God, and
ought to be regarded as of divine au-
thority.
What the apostles did and taught
they did and taught as inspired men
and were authorized by high heaven
to so do and speak.
"The second particular difference as
to authority is that many presidents
are authorized by the customs of soci-
ETY.. Most of our laws are made by
men and their authority rises not
higher than the mind Of man. but a
scriptural precedent is authorized by
the supreme court Of the universe
High Heaven, and therefore it holds
high position, even though many Of
us place a scriptural precedent no
higher than a human precedent.
"The third difference is with regard
to stability. Customs and laws that
are human charge. Some of the laws
OF God have been changed, but they
were changed by God himself. Prece-
dents established by Moses have been
changed by Christ, and will remain as
Christ made them till the Judgment
day. They are to remain as stable as
God himself. Conferences, synods and

High Point, N. c., June 20.-There has
been intense feeling here for some time

night on account of an alteration be-
tween one of the paid detectives of Or"

liar. A blow was the response. The de-
tectve then tried to draw his pistol but
was prevented A serious difficulty was
narrowly averted The detective was sent
to Jail in default of a seven hundred dol
lar bond in two cases. A pistol and
brass knuckles were found on him.
Immediately after the difficulty there
