Thieves and Robbers

From time to time somebody
or a number have been entering
the Tabernacle Of the First
Christian Church and stealing
the electric globes and sometimes
breaking them in the socket.
Doubtless this has been done
under cover Of darkness. On the
fourth Sunday night someone
entered and took what money
was in the birthday box, broke
up some plates belonging to the
church and broke open the box
in which the Sunday School
literature is kept. At times be-
fore this the books have been
badly damaged, the piano marked
up withink, window panes broken
and the building used as a place
for eating purposes.

Christian Church Revival Great
Success

The revival at the First Christ
ian Church closed last Sunday
night with forty-four additions
to the church. The revival has
been conducted so quietly that
a great number probably did not
know that a revival was in prog
resS.
The minister began the meet
ing and preached for the first
week. Preceding this was week
Of song service. Later Rev. j. E.
Reynolds of the First Christian
Church at Wilmington N. G,
preached from Monday night
April l6, to Friday night April
27, then the pastor continued the
services up to last Sunday night.
Three joined on Saturday night,
four on Sunday morning and
eight on Sunday night.
The Christian Church in this
community has had a marvellous
growth. There are now three
hundred and sixteen members
and the church is not yet three
years old. This has been caused
by the united support and conf
dence of the entire membership
in their minister. All have work.
ed together for one and the same
purpose. The Christian Church
has a loyal and working bunch
of folks. Although busy in their
gardens, working in the mills
and stores, they stood Loyalty by
the revival.
Mr.. T. w. Jernigan conducted
the singing during the entire
meeting and the church renders
him a vote of thanks, while to
Misses Lucy Taylor and Matte
Baird who faithfully presided at
the piano is rendered due appre-
citation.
Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Cargill, of
the Christian Church of Little
ton, helped to make the meeting
a great success. Rev. Cargill by
reading the lessons and prayer
and for preaching one sermon
and to Mrs. Cargill for her sweet
solos.
Rev. C. H. Trueblood, of the
Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church
preached one sermon.
Our meetings in the community
have always begun on Easter
Sunday. Taken altogether the
meeting was one of the best ever
conducted here, and the church
has far outgrown any other
church in the community.
