A Cairo dispatch to the London Times last week said the sultan was expected to assume the title Of king upon ratification by the British par liament of the decision to terminate the protectorate over Egypt. The new constitution with which Egypt will be provided, however. calls for renuncia- ton by the sultan of some of his pre- negatives. The British parliament has not yet passed an act lifting the pro tectorate.

DR.. HARRINGTON
UO OSSESS Tonight
LARGEST Crowd Since Meetings
Opened Present Thursday
Night
lConiribuied.l


Dr.F H. Harrington win preach his
closing sermon fhis evening in the
Central Baptist revival and leave for
his home IN Noultrie tomorrow.
The largest crowd Of the week was
present last evening and heard Dr..
harrington speak from Luke 12:lG-
u, The Man God Called Fool.
There we've five reasons shown why
God called the man a fool. First,
he lived as a four-footed animal, with
no higher motive. Second, he left
his Maker out. By creation he and
all he had belonged to God, yet he
did not even think of Him who is the
giver Of all good and perfect gifts.
OF all people in the world, DR.. Far
rington stated, it looks like farmer
would not leave God out. Third, He
left his neighbor out" No man liy-
eth unto himself. From this kind of
ground comes the anarchist, atheist,
infdel, etc. Nothing but God can
satisfy the soul of man. Fifth, HE
thought his soul his own" Thou
fool, this night Thy soul shall be re-
auired of thee; then whose shall those
things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for
himself and is not such toward God.
Two boys came forward at the
close of the discussion and acknowl-
edged Christ as Saviour and were re-
ceived by the church for baptism.
The young people have been the
leading factors in the meeting and
the church is much pleased with their
responses for salvation and beautl-
full service rendered.
There were 1875 Bible readers and
/ ,177 chapters read yesterday. The
largest number of chapters read by
one person was 375. Mr.. Fry stated
that in all of his meetings that num-
Der exceeded any ever reported and
was much gratifed over the result
of the contest which he began just
one week ago. The number reported
to date are 6,708 chapters in the
Bible read in one week.
Dr.. Harrington will speak at 400
p. m. on Night" at 7;45 p. m. on
