Assessor Boyd reported today that
lower assessment of mortgage notes,

mond and by additional improvements.

the same as last year.

tate was considered high, Mr.. Boyd

property at a comparatively low fig
ure. In spite of this, however, a gain
of 100000 was made In the personal
property assessment.

CRISIS BRINGS
NEED OF PRAYER
HOME TO PEOPLE

Rev. Milo S. Hinckle at East Main
Street Friends church yesterday spoke
on Prayer" Prayer conquers human
prayer and faith to the test. Our Bible
en- can live fairly well without religion,
while they are well and happy and
prosperous, but when they come face
to face with issues that are beyond
them, then they need something that
is above and beyond them-God' s
power. We want prayer and faith
that brings us victory. Prayer and
faith are inseparable; prayer Is a
logical expression of faith. Prayer
comes from the Hebrew word meaning
appeal and intercession.
We appeal to God for help, comfort
and strength. microscopy prayer is
asking God for some one else. Nothing
so en1arges ones own heart as think
ing of and doing for others. Inter
cessory prayer is the highest type
of spiritual exercise. Prayer grows
out of living faith in living God;
it is the very bulwark of Christianity
and bears on every situation of life.
Jesus made intercessions for trans
gressors-for you and me, and all the
generations of men. microscopy
prayer takes hold of the throne OF
God. 1t does not take high-sounding
prayer to reach Gods ear. The hard
est situations in life yield only to
prayer.
: Today we want to know what is
right and what to do and say. We need
to get on our faces before an infinite
God, and it is the only way the pres
ent situation in world affairs can be
solved by the over-ruling power OF
God The people in peaceful America
ought not to be frivolous today when
millions are perishing for things we
throw away.
The president, the heads of govern
ment, the crowned heads Of Europe
all need our prayers; do we pray that
they may be given wisdom to see the
way out Of this terrible situation? Ii
Jesus spent whole nights in prayer
what must we need2
Lord, teach us to pray"

.FOUlKE'S ABSENCE
DELAYS HOSPITAL

Progress in the plans for the pro-
posed Dennis Memorial hospital has
been delayed by the absence from the
city of William Dudley Foulke, pres
ident of the anti-tuberculosis society.
Mr. Foulke intends to appoint COM
mittee upon his return to Richmond
which will investigate the ACCESSIBILITY
of beginning an active campaign i'm
mediately for funds for the hospital.
The county commissioners have
promised assistance in erecting the
hospital but leaders in the movement
believe that the matter can be rushed
if individual subscriptions are secured
which will convince the commissioners
that the citizens of this county are
demanding a hospital.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Foulke
to make the hospital David w
Dennis Memorial Hospital" has met
with popular favor.
