twins were taken by a Chlldren's
Hone Society, one, of them being
adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. E. B.
Freeman, of Lumberton. the

er of the twins knew who had
adopted the other.
A sister of Mrs. Freeman
while on a visit to Rosemary
noticed the striking resemblance
between Miss Cerinne Marks
and the adopted child of Mrs.
Freeman. Inquiry established
the relationship, and the visit of
Miss Freeman to Miss Marks re-
newed an intimacy wanting since
their fourteenth month. The
twins are now thirteen years old.
Miss Freeman was accompanied
on her return to Lumberton by
Miss Marks who will spend a few
days in the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeman.

Visitors at High School
Must Observe Hours

Visitors to the Junior Senior

quested to confine their visits to
between the hours Of three to
four in the afternoon. This re-
quest is made on account of the
fact that work on the new build

time.
Visitors between three and
four o'clock are welcome and

says:
Our reporter went to the Epis
copal Church last Sunday morn
ing in a critical frame of mind,
prepared to find fault with the
services. He came away in q
thoughtful mood. Perhaps the
fact that he was impressed in
spite of himself might add some
force to bis impressions. The
one dominating thought was that
the service was devotional and
reverent, and seemed to express
the spirit of worship. Somehow
you felt that you were in the
presence of Almighty God.
used to think that the details of
ritual worship were foreign to
American ideals of religion, and
were certainly not scriptural. |
find this is inherited prejudice,
and that the Bible is full of such
accessories of public worship. |
came away feeling that hereafter
| should go to church to worship
God, and not simply to hear a
sermon, no matter how good it
may be. | think that | know
now why a person should kneel
when he prays. |, for one, am
going to quit measuring Almighty
