FIRST SERMONS BY
NEW MP. MINISTER
Rev. T. J. White h e a d
breaches Morning and
Evening During
Sunday

Rev. I. j. Whitehead, new pastor of
the First Methodist Protestant church
here, preached his first sermons to
the congregation Sunday, occupying
the pulpit both morning and evening.
He was heard by large audiences on
both occasions.
Mr.. Whitehead comes here from a
rural circuit in Alamance county, and
brings with him a reputation of be-
ing very active in young peoples
work.
He and Mrs. Whitehead moved into
the church parsonage on Charles
street late last week. They have no
children
Rev. Mr.. Whitehead succeeds Rev.
L. r. Medlin as pastor here, The
latter retired from the active minis
try this fall and went into the teach
Ing profession as principal of school
at Gastonia He had been here two
and a half years.
The new pastor was assigned to
this charge by the stationing commit
tee at the recent session of the An
nual Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church in this State.
which was held at Albemarle, adjourn
ing Monday of last week.
Since Mr. Medlin went to his new
school in the early fall, he returned
here to preach Sunday mornings, but
there were no evening services at the
church. From this time on, regular
morning and evening services will be
held, it is stated.

of those with whom she associated.
In early life, Mrs Harris taught
school and was especially happy the
years she taught music. Mrs. Harris
was an ardent devotee of education.
She always enjoyed a teacher for her
children at her home, The Deer Cross
ing, which at that time was in the
country. She taught them music her
self and it is difficult to estimate the
spread of her influence. All nine of
her childr - were led by her through
college to lives of usefulness. Three
at this time belong to the teaching
profession.
Mrs. Harris home was open to all
who needed her. Today a brilliant
New York lawyer and one of Hender-
sons most popular ones, remember
that it was because she opened her
home to them that they were enabled
to attain success.
Mrs. Harris interests were as wide
as her large family and time would
allow. Her home and family made
large inroadS on her time, but she al
ways had an ear and heart and a
helping hand for those less fortunate
than herself It can truly be said of
her "She gave her life for others"
Her church and community came
next to her home. She served on i'm
portant executive boards and did
splendid work for missions and or
phanages, as well as teaching all to
DO justly, love mercy, and to walk
humbly-before God"
At the time of the World War, hav-
ing sent all three of her sons to fol-
low the flag, she gave her ceaseless,
tireless work to the Red Cross, the
Great Mother, who would nurse all
her boys if they needed her.
Too much cannot be said of her in
domitable cheerful Christian Spirit
After she had passed the age of 70,
her vision was lost. As soon as she
was out of the hospital, she learned
the touch system Of tipping and wrote
inspiring letters to a large circle of
friends and kept in weekly contact
with each of her children in this way.
She never had one hour of self-pity
Even in blindness her sweet philoso-
ply was "oh, it could be so much
worse" To her, it was a sin not to

(Reported.
In the sudden passing of Mrs.
Samuel Rogers Rarris on Sunday
morning, November 18th, Henderson
lost one of it's best loved citizens.
Rosalie Melissa Hicks was born
August 6, 1855, at White Oak Villa,
the old Hicks homestead in Gran
Vile county, which was an original

childhood was spent here during the
war and it's aftermath. She attended

Madison, Wisconsin, and Willard w.
Harris, of Durham, N. C. Thirteen
grandchildren and two brothers, Hon.
A. A. Hicks, of Oxford, N. c.. and
H. B. Hicks of Vance County also
survive.
Mrs Harris was a lifelong worker
for the cause of Righteousness, lead
er of temperance work, and taught
the Woman's Bible Glass in the Meth
odist Protestant church until she lost
her eyeSight, five years ago. Although
almost totally blind, Mrs. Harris led
an exceptionally full life. She learn
ed to use the typewriter with profit
cheney after she was stricken. She
learned hundreds of poems and work
ed in her flower garden until the day
of her death. Her friends marvelled
at her never-failing cheerfulness and
poise.
The services were held at the resi-
dence at $3.50 p. m. with the Metho-
dist Protestant pastor, Rev. T. J.
Whitehead in charge. The active
pallbearers were nephews, Jasper B.
Hicks, Benjamin H. Hicks, Will Min
or Hicks, B Frank Harris, Lueco R.

In the passing of Mrs. Samuel Rog-
ers Harris, nee Rosalie Melissa Hicks,
Henderson is bereft of one of the most
beloved members of the community.
Throughout all of her 80-odd years,
Mrs. Harris spirit was that of love
and helpfulness and Christian forti-
tude. Her unselfish sympathy will
brighten for years to come, the lives

count your blessings.
We must not grieve. She went AS
she lived, smiling. She never wanted
to give anyone a minutes trouble. She
had begged the good Father to de-
fend her from a long illness. She was
ready.
Last week at one of her little
church gatherings she recited this
beautiful hymn which will ever be de-
Dictated to her in all our hearts:
Spirit of God, descend upon my
heart;
Wean it from EARTH through all it's
pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as
thou art
And make me love thee, as I ought to
love.
Teach me to feel that thou are al
ways nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to
bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel
sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswer-
ed prayer.
Teach me to love thee as thine angels
love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heaven-descended
Ny heart an altar, and thy love the
flame
