TO CLOSE REVIVAL
CONGREGATIONAL
Many Professions of Faith
Rev. Poythress Brings
Final Message

The revival meeting, which has
been in progress at the Congregation
al Christian church during hte past
ten days, will be brought to a close
tonight when Rev. o. D. Poythress,
who has been assisting the pastor,
Rev. S. E. Madren, brings his final
message.
The attendance and interest has
been very gratifying A number have
professed faith in Christ, and many
have reconsecrated their lives to the
work of the kingdom.
The evangelist spoke last night on
the subject, -Four Anchors using as
a subject text Pauls shipwreck ex-
perience as found in the books of
Acts "They cast out four anchors
and waited for the day"
The speaker declared that in this
life we face storms as well as Gains,
and we need something to which we
can anchor. There are four things
| am glad 1 never missed, the speak
er continued. 1 am glad I experienced
the joy of processing faith in Jesus
Christ as my personal saviour. l an
chored my soul in Christ when I was
a country boy in the old meeting
house near Chapel Hill, N. G. It is as
fresh in my memory today as it was
that day years ago when I knelt at
the altar and yielded my heart and
life to Christ.
The second anchor that has steaded
my life, Rev. Mr.. Poythress said, was
the fact I united with the church. I
am proud of the fact my name was
written on the little books there in
the church. My name is recorded
there today. I am glad to be mem
Der of the church of Jesus Christ, the
greatest institution in all the world
Jesus said "My church," Yes, thank
God for His church.
The third anchor, the minister con-
tinued, I thank God for is the fact
was baptized. I read in the Book
whatsoever believeth and is baptized,
the same shall be saved The assur-
ance that comes to a soul that is saw
ed is an experience that cannot be
described by mere words.
In conclusion the speaker said the
fourth anchor that 1 thank God for
is the anchor of service. The highest
joy that come to one is the joy of
Christian service. All cannot be
preachers buts all can have part in
Christian service helping someone
along life's way Many church men,
bers fail here. They bury their talent
of Christian service. Oh! that our
hearts were on fire with Christ and
his church.
Rev. Mr.. Poythress will deliver his
closing message this evening at 8
o'clock, his subject will be "Home
Going"

LIGHT SHOWERS IN
PORTION OF COUNTY
More Hoped for and Is
Needed To Get Spring
Crops on their Way

Light showers fell for a short time
in Henderson and parts of the eastern
section of the county early Tuesday
evening, and, while they were a help
to drought-ridden farm lands, were
nothing like sufficient for the needs.
Reports today were that very little
rain fell in other localities and some
got none of it.
Crops are being delayed by the dry
weather. Many farmers have had to
resort to watering their tobacco seed
beds in order to provide sufficient
moisture for maturity to the trans
planting stage, and to keep them in
condition until it is possible to set
them in the growing fields.
Transplanting time is here, and a
general rain that would last for three
or four days would see plants being
stuck on virtually every farm in the
county, it is believed. Here and there
some planting has been done in scat
tered instances, but the movement is
by no means general as yet.
There is moisture down deep in the
ground, and would be of some help If
crops already were we'll rooted, but
moisture on the surface is lacking,
and that is what is greatly needed
for tobacco.
Cotton has been planted in most
instances, and since that is more of a
dry weather crop, it is not suffering
a great deal.
