BILLY SUNDAY.
breaches the Old Gospel With Modern
Slang.
Mt. Olive, n. c


Philadelphia North American.
His ~utteranceS of yesterday show
clearly enough the nature of his re-
igiOus teaching. Regarded by many
uniformed persons as an exponent of
novelty, he delivers uncOmpromising-
ly the old gospel ~unadorned. His IAN
guage is modernism itself, but his
theology is as primitive as the fisher
men of Galilee. Yet, with remarkable
skill, he ~anlalgamates with it the
scientific knowledge Of today and the
economic truths which are the most
potent factors in modern life. No
other Interpreter is SO successful in
combining spiritual appeal with prac-
teal argument. Get right with God
is his unchanging e~Xhortation; out he
drives it home by insisting that men
shall get right with their fellows.
The a~scendancy he has achieved IS
shown in the almost universal belief
that the revival will have a treme-4-
dOuS effect upon the community. Even
those thoughtful observers who do
not believe in the man, his message
or his methods, cOncede that he will
change the currents of life here to a
considerable degree. The reason for
this expectation is the very convincing
one that he has invariably produced
concrete. lasting results of this kind.
No one can explain away the thou
sands Of converts who testify to the
reality of their new faith and the
~ouickenjng Of religious activity which
always follows his work..
But evidence eve more impressive
is found in the social changes that
are manifested. He awakenS a new
spirit of humanity and h~elpfulness.
AS we said in discussing his work
several months ago: You can follow
the trail of Billy Sunday across the
country by the landmarks Of brighter
homes, SUMMER hearts n better
lives There is not a dangerous
amount Of hysteria in the teaching
that makes men pay OutlaWed debts.

PEACHES ARE RUINED.
Shawnee Crop Will Be Short on Ac-
count of Killed Trees.

There will be very few home grown
peaches in Shawnee county this year
and in all proba bility it will be several
years before the local peach crop is
back to the proportions it used to be.
Reports are that practically all the
large peach trees in the county are
dead.
Whether it was the successive years
of drought and intense heat of sum-
mer, or the unusually severe winter,
or a combination of them which killed
the trees is not known. Small trees
seem to have escaped, but most of
those of any size are dead. Reports
have not been received whether the
same conditions prevail over the state.
