Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Antioch in Hoke, Feb. 15.-Having
spent most of our time for the last
weeks in Lumberton, we know of
but very little of interest that has
transplred or is transporting in this
ancient city; nevertheless, we are try
ing to keep abreast with the times,
and most of our people, in keeping
with otner sections, have had the Ger
man measles. Some are now wrest-
ling with them. Mrs. G. C. Biggs is
very sick and it's said she, too, has
the Germansin their full power.
Rev. Or. A. c. Bridgman, who is
representing Flora Mcdonald in her
effort to raise her endowment, pre-
sented its needs to the people of An
tioch on last Sabbath. He is a most
forclble speaker, man of extraor-
binary magnetism, and we believe is
the right man for the plan.
One of Antioch's faithful elders who
long since has been transplanted ITO
the grand assembly and church of
the first BORN" the late H. H. Hodgin,
was one Of the original committee Of
three who launched the movement for
Red Springs seminary, from which
institution, by a most wonderful evo-
lut1onary process, we now have Flora
Mcdonald, the leading institution for
! women of all the female institutions
Of the whole Southern Presbyterian
church. Antioch has always done her
part and we are sure that in the case
of Flora Mcdonald, in whose welfare
they are so much interested, they will
be noted for even greater liberality.
Sunday evening own pastor, Rev. J
w. Goodman, conducted the exercises
Of the Christian Endeavor and discuss
signed that evening for the young
people of all our churches; viz: 'What
Ny Church Stands For" 1t was in
| deed an educational address proud O.
the fact that they were followers Of
those whose bedrocks is Classification
by faith" We believe too many O.
;, our people regardless of their churc}
affiliations, are woefully ignorant O
those cardinal doctrines that individu
alize our various churches.
Antioch high school now takes he
place in the list of Red Cross schools
having recently organized a JUNO
Red Cross with every student mem
Der. Rev. ]. w. Goodman, chairma
of the local society, informs us tina
he hopes to secure Governor Bicket
to address our people in the near fl
ture, and adds that if he comes h
: would like REPETITION of the Cove,
nor's Lun1berton speech, which a
who heard it agree was without pa
allel. If Antioch can be thus signal
honored by having the Governor wit
us we will announce the date throug
the columns of one Of North Care
, lina's leading advertising medium
. The Robes oman, and will again rene
our invitation to Mr.. Sharpe, who say
S he can accept as many invitations 8
we will extend and will give us a SUI
S prize sometime by actually comin
If he does we assure him the pleasu,
c will beE0urs.
