Fields Boys Acquitted.

When the trial of the Fields
boys took place in Durham and
quite a number of our citizens
heard the testimony, there were
few, if any,. that believed them
guilty of robbing the mails.
However, they were bound over
to the Federal court. The trial
came off this week in Raleigh
and the evidence shown there
was not sufficient to convict and
they were acquitted. :.
It will be remembered that
these boys were arrested on a
charge of robbing the u. S.
Mail of $1,000. The package in
question was sent from Rich
mond, Va, to Dunn, land when
all the tracing that was possible
hadbeen completed the detectives
arrested James and Bascom
Fields. The only thing proved
at the trial was that the older of
the boys allowed his brother to
ride with him from Durham on
the day the money was missing.

auspices of the Young Men
Christian Association. bega,
| Monday evening. The hall wa
almost filled with students ant
members of the faculty, and las

larger. Rev. G. I. Rowe, elias
'e5, has been we'll received, ans
it is shown both in attendance a

manifested in other ways. Their,
is every sign to indicate that
good, old time revival will be the

In his preliminary remarks Mon
day evening he said that he hae
come here not for the purpose O
discussing philosophy, English lit,
erature or materialistic science.
but for the sole purpose ofpreach
ing the religion of the eternal
God. .- I'll
The general theme of Mr.
Rowe's first sermon was that q
knowledge Of God comes through
revelation and not through spec
ulation; and that a consciousness
of Gods love, and an acceptance
of Him comes through faith, and
intensified by obedience: The
facts mentioned to confirm the
statement of the theme where the
universal efforts of thinking men
outside of revelation to know
God, and their inability to find
Him, basing the assertion upon
the fact that all things in this
world are ola transcient nature;
the knowledge of God was de.
clared to be the highest purpose
of every life. Illustrations and
illusions were used to show that
almost all serious minded men
have endeavored to understand
the Divine nature, and to CON-
mune with God; that no man I'M
aided by divine revelation had
been able to gain such knowledge
or to establish such communion.
Although all heather philoso-
pliers and religious thinkers had
felt out after God, a knowledge of
Him has been gained only through
contact with His Son Jesus Christ;
and although God revealed him.
self to Israel through the proph-
cts, a perfect knowledge was re-
served for those who would know
Him through Christ.
Abraham was used as an illus
tration to show that faith must be
followed by obedience. Abraham
believed God, and thereby became
a saved man in Gods sight; but
Abraha.n's character attained its
ful deVeiopment only. through
his willingness to sacrifice his son.
Isaac.
The point especially empha.
sized was that speculation can
never take the place Of revelation.
Paul says that ''by wisdom man
knew not Cod" and Herbert
Spencer says practically the same
thing in his assertion that the Ill
finite force is unknown. Of
course all men know that there is
such a force, but human reason
has not been able to ascertain the
quality Of it. and it is only
through Jesus Christ and his sac.
rihce that men know God in his
redeeming love end fellowship
