The Church's Weakness

Rev. Meyers of the Methodist
church, who has the excellent
habit of handling sin without
gloves, gave a few of the reasons
Sunday night why he thought
the churches and the true spirit
of religion has not prospered in
this town and other county
places. He deprecated the too
strong regard for little differences
of creed and doctrine and said
to many people placed too much
stress there on. He said the
churches should work together.
1t ought not be so much a mat
ter of getting new members for
and one church as it was for
getting men into the kingdom of
God and leading Christian lives,
in what ever church they desire
to go. He said a citizen stated a
few days ago that he believed
two churches and possibly. one
would be enough in this town
instead of four. The minister
did not say he agreed with this
view but he inimated that he
felt that if there were fewer
churches here those in the town
could employ stronger men in
the ministry and unite their
efforts toward good with better
result than heretofore and pay
pastors a living salary. He urged
the leaving behind of narrow
mindness in viewing Gods word
and work and and urging the
broad minded doctorine of saliva
ton for all in any church.

been written by Ray to Mabel.
Bessie Evans wants a divorce
from Oliver Evans. whom she
married in 1903 and parted from
ten years later. She says he has

W|LKs HOME BURNED
Morning Fire Burns Neat Resi-
dence to the Founda-
ton Monday.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar Wilks was burned to the
foundation by a fire Monday
morning. Most of the house
hold goods were saved but the
residence was a total loss.
The fire commenced about
$50 o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilks
had been to the country at the
home Of Mrs. Wilks parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Dinsmore. They
drove home and had been there
but a half hour. The fire in the
kitchen was started snd the
negro girl who started it went
to neighbor's house for some
thing. When the negro returned
she saw the roof of the house
was on fire.
The fire alarm was given and
neighbors turned out to see
what could be done. The fire
started in the gable of the roof.
No ladder dould be found to
reach the flames and the fire
had such a start that nothing
could be done to quench the
flames. All that could be done
was to save the adjoining build
ings.
By dint of hard work, the
Office now housing the pla mt of
the Warner Electric Co. and
garage and other sheds at the
rear of the house were saved.
Mr.. Wilks ran his machine out
of the garage early during the
fire. The sheds were ablaze at
times but the firemen held it
down. The wind blew from the
north and west and swept the
flames and heat over the open
space towards the Minter &
Lamkin Office, thus saving ad-
joining houses from being fired.
Had the wind been from anoth-
er direction the loss would have
been much greater.
The house was a substantial
one of the two stories and year
or two ago Mr.. Wilks had added
a big porch at the cost of $500.
By a strange coincidence,
the insurance would have expir-
ed April 2. The loss is a big one
to Mr.. Wilks and is deeply re-
GREETED by his friends and &C.
