became acute about July /, 1914.
War was begun on Aug. /. Under

Bring Me cut Of Dis
tress" Harding Asks

'The troubles of my heart are en-
larged; oh, bring me out of my dis
tress." So mead President elect
Warren G. Harding Sunday evening
from the Twenty fifth Psalm as he
led the religious service in the wom-
ems salon of the ship which is tax
ing him to the Panama Canal Zone.
To Mr.. Harding's companions,
gathered about him as he solemnly
intoned the words of David, there
seemed a peculiar and dramatic
significance to the lines he had de-
liberately selected from the writings
of the Psalmist and the lines seemed
to become the personal prayer Of
Senator Harding himself, as he faces
tremendous problems.
"Look upon mine affliction and
my pain, and forgive all my sins,
consider mine enemies, for they are
many, and they Nate me with cruel
hatred. Let integrity and upright
ness preserve me, for I wait on
Thee"
Senator Harding made it clear
that the verses revealed and reflect
ed his attitude toward the assump-
ton of the presidency, and his fur
Their prayer, quoting from the same
psalm, was:
Remember not the sins Of my
youth nor my transgressions; ac-
cording to Thy mercy remember
Thou me for Thy goodness sake, oh
Lord"
The service was held at 5 o'clock
Sunday. Senator Joseph Y. Freling
huysen, of New Jersey, acted as dea-
con, announcing the hymn. After
the President elect had read the
Twenty fifth Psalm there was an
other hymn, and responsive reading
followed, Senator Harding leading.
The singing of america" closed
the service.

Revival Meeting Closes

The revival meeting which has
been in progress for the past two
weeks at the Baptist church, closed
last Sunday evening. This was one
of the most profitable meetings that
has ever been conducted at this
church, because of the familiarity
Of the Bible by the evangelist, Rev.
]. B. DeGarmo and his unusual pow
ers as a logician. Rev. DeGarmo is
never wanting in language with which
to present his arguments and as ne
is a wonder in Bible doctrines, so
he is adept. in the use of language
and illusions as well. From the ex-
pounding of scriptures no man has
heard Rev. DeGarmo through his
series of sermons without having re-
ceived evidence Of regeneration. The
meeting closed at its climax with 6
additions at the last service.
Long before beginning Of the Sun
day evening service the auditorium
was filled to its utmost capacity,
and chairs filled every, vacant space.
The song service, under the leader
ship of Sam Fl. Elsey, was inspiring.
The combination of evangelist and
song-singer is happy one. A vote
was taken by pastor r. c. Gold
smith, and the immense audience was
unanimous in requesting Rev. De-
Garmo and Mr.. Elsey to return for
another meeting within the next ten
months and later these men engaged
to return for another meeting. They
went from here to Burlington, N. c.,
where they are engaged for a two
weeks meeting.

Sudden Summons
To Beloved Woman

The death of Mrs. r. F. Mastin,
which occurred at her home on West
Main street at an early hour Sun
day morning, was distinct shock to
the entire community. She had been
i'll for only few days and was not
considered in a serious condition
until Friday, when double pneumonia
developed. From that time until the
end she gradually grew worse and
everything that skilled physicians
and loving hands could do proved OF
no avail, and the spirit Of this much
loved woman went out to meet her
Master in "That Beautiful Isle Of
Somewhere"
For a number of years Mrs. Mas
tin had been a member of the pop
ular millinery firm Of Roberts &.
Mastin, and was known and loved
by practically every man. woman
and child in Montgomery county. For
long while she had been conse-
Grated member Of the local Christian
. church and her church life was as
sweet and pure as her every day
/ walks. With a loving smile and glad
greeting for all, her life was indeed
noble and uplifting one, and her
very presence seemedto radiate with
sunshine any company in which she
was thrown. A woman of robust
physique, her sudden passing has
cast gloom over the entire COM
munity, where she was held in the
highest esteem and loved for her true
worth. In the passing of Mrs. Mastin
many a heart will be made sad, but
the noble example set by this beloved
woman of God will always linger
in the tablets Of memory and ever
stand as a monument to her smiling
face and cheering soul,
Besides her husband r. f. Mas
Ntin, former chief Of police, she is
survived by one sister, Mrs. Lodusky
Gatewood, of Louisville, and to them,
especially the heart broken husband,
we join the entire community in Of
fering coincidence and trust that God
in His infinite wisdom may be very
near and dear to them in this sad
hour.
Funeral services were held at the
I Christian church Monday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Clyde Darsie, and
the. remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery at North Middletown.
