NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH..

The fourth of the series on Sin,
sins Consequent was preached
last Sunday morning TO large aud
appreciative congregation. That these
discussions are taking hold on the
people is evidenced by the manifesto
tion of feeling and the increased in
terest. Our campaign is also bearing
fruit in the addition of members at
almost every service.
There is no corrective force in life
and for living like the constant
preaching of the Word. Not theories
or theologies or dogmas. but the ap-
pliCation of the Word of God to the
life of the individual. is the need ana
the hope of humanity. And this is the
very thing which We are attempting
in this series of sermons which will
occupy the attention of the church TIL
the close of the year. We hope to see
the interest still on the increase.
The next of the series is the last of
the five on sin. The subject Sins
Finai Result" The next five for the
morning services, beginning the first
Sunday in December, will be deliv-
cred under the general topic of Sal
vation." The subjects are as follows:
The Sinless Man. Gods Working
Plan" Sins Antidote." III Be Lift
ed. and THE Open Door" Our un-
saved friends are especially invited to

study these topics with us.
The subject for the evening sermon
is lazarus" In discussing the theme
the leading thought is the mastery OF
Gods Son over life and death. We
are very glad TO note that the inter
est shown in the evening has greatly
increased the attendance at that hour
The mid-week prayer service We'd
nesday at o'clock is one of the signs
which herald a spiritual awakening
in Zion. The note of conservation
which is prevalent indicates that
some are coming face TO face with
the Master. There can be but one re
suit: revival The salvation of the
world is the normal passion of the
church.
The Mems Bible class was made
happy last Tuesday evening by the
conversion OF Brother Harry Johnson,
who is now a candidate for baptism.
This young man is one of the bright
est and most hopeful of our recent ad-
ditions, and his accession is another
tribute to the power of the plain old
Word. This is what the Bible class
stands for giving the word of God to
men. Every man is welcome The
time OF meeting is Tuesday evening
at eight.
The B. Y. B. L. had an especially
helpful lesson last Sunday evening
DR.. Jones was the leader This has
been true of the entire fall study. The
pastor notes with pleasure the grow
ing sense OF obligation among the
leaders of this auxiliary to present
carefully prepared lessons The les
son for this sunday evening will be
studied under the topic, Christian
Nirtues-Gratitude. Sister Mary l..
Elliston is the leader.
The work being done by our Sun
day school is now of a higher char
acter than ever before in its history.
Especially are the superintendent and
teachers to be commended for their
application to lesson study. To get
the lesson into life is their disposi-
ton, which is the only means OF sue
cessful teaching. Plans are soon TO
be put into operation to secure an in
creased attendance.
Time is now drawing near for our
winter class in Mission Study. The
text book for this season is Day
break in the Dark Continent" This
is delightful study and the hope is
for Il larger number OF women than
last year.

PREVENTED BY RAIN
Raleigh Hotel Roof Will Be Ready
For Reception OF Guests
This Evening.

Rain prevented the opening of WASH
ington's latest roof garden. on top of
the Raleigh Hotel, last night The
opening, for which elaborate arrange
ments have been made, will take place
this evening. Throughout last night,
however, the searchlight of the garden,
which points out the different places of
interest about the city to the patrons,
was centered on the large American
flag on the hosiery, causing spectators
to look up and inquire how the effect
Of the visible flag was brought about.
Before o'clock, the hour set for the
opening, several hundred persons were
in the hotel awaiting admittance to the
garden. No one will be admitted to the
place unless he Ia rendered a card of
admission by the management The
plan of admittance by card has been
devised as a precautionary measure to
keep undesirables from the garden.
