BRIGHT AFFAIRS.

ington Of a marriage Of unusual
beauty and brilliance which took
place Thursday evening at 3 o'clock
in the Methodist Episcopal church
in Greenville. s. C. when Miss Mary
Sue Donaldson was welded to Mai.

The ceremony was performed by
the brides grandfather. DR.. John o.
Wilson of Greenwood. in the pres

God Deals With Individu.
ais, Not Nations, Says
The Rev. George A. Mil
Ter at Ninth st. Church.

individuality at birth, through
life, and in the after existence was
the keynote of the sermon Of the
Rev. George A Miller, pastor of the
Ninth Street Christian Church last
night. individual Responsibility"
was the subject.
Speaking Of the history of relir-
ious individual life, he said: I'm
the early ages Of the worlds his
tory God dealt with nations rather
than individuals. When sin was
committed it was a national sin.
as the nation had to pay the penalty.
The Babylonian captivity came
because the nation had sinned and
the nation was carried away can
tive because of that sin. The pray-
ers offered were for national repen-
tance. and forgiveness.
Jeremiah, the great prophet,
then began a new message which
was call to the individual to re-
pent and turn to Jehovah. Return,
o backsliding children, saith Je-
hovah, for I am a husband unto
you; and ] will take you one of a
city and two of a family, and l
will bring you to zion.' This was
the mode Of bringing about 4 new
nation and q new people.
Christ used the plan of dealing
with the individual. He chose
twelve Apostles and sent them forth
to save the world. The whole mes
sage Of our Lord was the call for
an individual change of heart. On
the day of Pentecost, the inspired
Apostle brought to his hearers a
can to individual belief and repen.
Never did the apostolic church
receive any into its membership un.
less they had hrst personally ac-
cepted Christ as the Savior. All
religion is a personal matter. THE
world is not saved by nations. cities.
or communities. The indiyIduaIs
that make DIP these units arc Be.
ing saved.

Loyalty to Flag and God
Best Unrest Cure, Says
The Rev Percy F. Hall
At Epiphany Church.

Loyalty to God, nag and work, al
lied with a practical and sincere
love, is the solution whereby the
present unrest in the world can
be overcome, according to the Rev.
Percy Foster Hall. preaching in the
Church of the Epiphany last night.
He took for the text Let your
moderation be known unto all men,"
and Nxpounded the theory Of tie
real Christmas love and mnscI;i.h-
ness as most admirable.
Speaking of the remedy for the
current friction, he compared in
morabl a biblical tale and it's result
with present-day conditions.
Two good women in the early
church at Phillippi were unable to
get along together. st. Paul sought
cure for the friction. Modera-
tion; which means gentleness, for
bearance, and sweet reasonable
ness.' was the remedy of the saint.
1T is as IL in an ONCE in Wash
ington fellow clerks. unconReniaI
and mutually irritating, shall be
reconciled by the mutual layalty to
strong and wise chief. Their
gladness in him overcomes their an
tipathy to each other.
For a world divided, disorgan-
lied. the hope of unity is found in
the vital belief in the good. all
loving God. When this belief occu-
pies the heart there Is no room
for evil,envy and hatred. Loyalty to
one flag and gladness in our conu-
try have recently reconciled North
and South. The love of God will
unite all men as brothers.
This has been the motive OF the
great missionaries of all denomi-
nations, and has and will over
come all CULTS and barriers. 1t Is
the one practical solution of the
worlds greatest pfoblem."

Sermons Heard Here Yesterday
Rev. j. Franklin Bryan,
Of N. C. Ave. Church,
Appeals for Cleaner
Lives Among Laity.

Rev. ]. Franklin Bryan, pastor of
North Carolina Avenue Methodist
Protestant Church, made an appeal
for cleaner lives on the part of the
lsity. and less destructive criticism
on the part of the clergy. in his
morning sermon yesterday. DR..
Bryan's topic was THE Church in
Philadelphia"
This is the sixth church." said
DR.. Bryan, written to by st. John
the Divine. as he was directed bv
Jesus, as he walked in the mids,
OF the seven golden candlesticks.
There are many lessons of truth
spoken by Jesus in the epistles IN
the seven churches of Asia and none
greater than this epistle. There was
no complaint, but gracious words or
commendation made by the Master
to this church"
DR.. Bryan said that the meaning
OF the door of opportunity" which
the epistle stated had been opened
TO the Philadelphia church, was no,
entirely clear. but must have been
a missionary opportunity of erea,
Importance"
The Lord said that this church
had kept His word" said Dr
Bryan. This meant more than de-
Tending the letter of His word. bu,
also had lived up to the spirit Of
Gods word. That church lived

spirit of the word of Jesus, ana in
obedience to its teaching lived the
good life.
The duty and doctrine of the
word OF God so together. Faito
and practice cannot be divorced in
a human life. The church todav
seems to a great extent to have
lost its early spirituality, and man
and women are not coming in in as
large numbers as heretofore"
