WOMAN breaches
Miss Belle Sorrow Preached in New
Holiness Church Sunday

Miss Belle Sorrow occupied the
pulpit in the new Holiness Church
on South Main street Sunday night.
Miss Sorrow is the sister of Wat
son Sorrow, the organizer of the
church and she took as her subject
the story of the rich man and Laza-
rus and expounded the Word with
great force. When she finished her
sermon about twenty men and wom-
en- came forward and gave her their
hand.
This new Holiness Church in Alb
beville is very interesting. 1t began
with meetings in the homes, grew to
tent meetings and street meetings
and finally Mr.. Watson Sorrow be-
gan the building of place of wor-
ship.
Everything that went into this
building was donated. Free will Of
ferings of lumber, nails, money and
labor being freely given.
The members of the church per-
formed most of the labor, outsiders
frequently lending a hand. About a
month ago when the days grew short
er electric lights were installed on
the scaffold and darkness made no
difference, the hammers ringing way
into the night.
The organist and leader of the
choir was at the same time a fine in
side fnisher, and after the evening
service he would don his overalls
and work for an hour or two.
The building is now about COM
plete and is an honor to those who
have toiled that they might have
wherewith to cover their heads in
worshipping in their chosen way.
The meetings are well attended.
They believe in the unknown ton
que, and speak that tongue when
moved by the spirit. 1t sounds like
jibberish to the uninitiated, but they
get comfort from it, and everything
is done decently and in order.

NOVEMBER ON THE RICHMOND
HILLS.

(By D. H. Magill, Richmond, Va.)
November on the Richmond hills
Brings tears unto the fow'rs,
The rhythmic James and ripping rllls
Enhance the perfume hours;
Chrysanthemum and goldenrod,
Majestic flowers, wave,
In blooming whispers unto God
With tear drops DER each grave.
These skies of reveries invite
The scenes of bravery's bloom,
And sacred flowers of the night
Dispel our Southern gloom;
The sweetest wartime flow'rs un-
furled,
Their fragrance as they died,
And from dark shadows of the world
Their fearful memories cried.
Of all the songs Of halloWed keep
Sung unto realms above,
Those of the Psalmist's music deep
Ascend in sacred love;
Let each Confederate line of strife
Be fused into a psalm
And all the violence in life,
Subside in golden calm.
