So far as can be gathered from citi-
Zens of the county who come here
from time to time, the NIecklenburg
people who lost in the recent bank
failures are taking the situation phil.
osophically. though, of course. 1t Is
n disaster not only to individuals. but
to the community at large. 1t is stated
that the suspension of the two banks
and the heavy failures of B. e. Cog
bill and the East Coast Lumber Com
pany. of which he was president, are
having a very depressing effect upon
general business conditions in the
county which UP to a short time ago
was on a great business boom.

Holy CH0GTEpG
nVL UHhUJ LNS
LEAP FROM WINDOW

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.-Fined
with righteousness and equipped with
crinoline wings, the Holy Ghosters es-
sayed to fly last night from the win
dows of their mission at 1915 South
Sixteenth street. Awakened from their
sleep by the enthusiasm attending the
flight, several score of ungodly neigh
bors prepared to mob the place, and
a lone policeman had difficulty in saw
ing the spiritual assemblage from an
inhalation.
Mrs. Mary Elliott, a colored woman,
who is the leading spirit of the origi-
nal Holy Ghosters," felt that it was
up to her to maintain her primacy and
Iinaugurated a revival of fire." which
reached the climax last night
In order that they might the more
easily fulfil their mission, said the in
spired one, the Holy Ghosters were to
be vouchsafed the ability to fly. Thus
they could fit from house to house and
drop the leaven of righteousness down
the chimneys.
Last evening a weird army assem-
bled at the Sixteenth street house. At
tired in white .-robsN, wearing white
hoods and with stiff white wings fast
ened in the region Of their shoulder
blades, forty Holy Ghosters came out
to fly.
Inside the building Mrs. Elliott had
severe attack Of holiness.
In the midst Of the exercises one
brother announced that he felt he had
the power to fly. He rushed to an open
window and leaped out into the night,
and the night received him and dropped
him on the pavement.
Too much excited to notice the fail
ure of the ascension. other Holy Ghost
ers rushed to the windows and two
more got as far as the street before 1t
was born in upon the rest that the
spirit was not uplifting them accord
ing to schedule.
Fortunately none of the Holy Ghost
ers who struck out bravely in the at
mosphere was seriously hurt. all es-
Gaping with few bruises. They at
tribute their good fortune to sus-
ltaining presence.

GOOD LIVING And
GOOD BELIEVING
They Must Go Together, Says
Rev. Thomas P. Holloway
at Second Baptist

The common question, Does it make
any difference what we believe so long
as we try to be good?" was the theme
Of a forceful sermon by the Rev.
Thomas p. Holloway. the new pastor
Of the Second Baptist Church last
night. His text was from Proverbs,
28:7. "As a Man Thinketh in His
Heart So Is He" Mr.. Holloway said
in part:
Various reasons lie back OF the
question that we desire to consider.
one class, who believe that spiritual
success can result without thorough
going thought are mentally indoient
and would be good through sentiment
rather than thought. Others would at
tempt to discredit the revealed truth
of the Gospel in order to excuse them
selves for not becoming Christians. A
third class, troubled with mental van
ity, contend that II makes no diff
| ference what we believe so long as
we try to be good. because they con-
cuse looseness of thought on religious
truth with intellectual breadth. Blu
strength Of mind is better than elias

ITCHY Of mind.

AlAAAN VI ilAila
TT makes a world OF difference as
to what we believe in the ultimate &C
tivity in the spiritual realm. Mind
must inevitably enter into moral life.
Good believing and definite believing
must precede and accompany good
living If thought is vague the re-
sultant act will lack power and de-
fniteness OF character. What a man
believes of God. Jesus Christ, sin, sal
walton, etc, dominates his life ulti-
mately. Christs ministry proves that
proper belief must be the framework
of godlike character. How much Of
the Messiah's time was consumed in
teaching the truth Conscience is in
separable from mind. True emotion
is the fruitage Of true thinking Know
the truth. and the truth will make you
free Christs revelation of truth nee
essarily preceded His atoning sacrifice.

JUDGED human reason before it could

"But truth as revealed in the Bible
cannot lead to spiritual growth until

Ten Reasons Why
Glazed Kid Shoes are
the Worlds Best
Upper Leather for
Footwear

1. They are the most
comfortable, because they
are soft and admit the air,
while at the same time they
are waterproof.
2. They give to the foot
a style and daintiness not
possible with any other
leather.
3. They do not crack or
peel.
4. Glazed Kid Shoes
have a fibre as strong as
silk, unequaled by any
other leather.
3. They will wear long
er, look better and give bet
ter service to the wearer,
whether man, woman or
child, than any other shoes
ever produced.
6. There is greater sat
isfaction and profit in them
for s h oe manufactures,
wholesaler, retailer and the
public.
z. They can be truth
fully recommended to ali
classes, whether the wealth
lest or the poorest.
8. They are cool in sum-
mer and warm and dry in
winter.
9. Other feathers may
come and go, but Glazed
Kid steadily grows in pop
ularity, both in America
and Europe.
10. 1t is the only upper
leather that can be safely
guaranteed by the retailer
TO his customers.
Look into the merits OF
| Glazed Kid Shoes. Com
pare them with any other
kind or finish. Subject
them to every possible test
and you need not be told
the other reasons why they
are the standard of perfe :
ton.
