Last Saturday afternoon r. P.
Smith and F. L. Price decided
to 60 over to Northampton
County and do a little fishing.
Just as they were getting in
their car Boots came along and
begged to be taken to ride. AS
usual, she got her way and in
short time she was romping with
her two friends along a creek
bank between Garysburg and
Seaboard.
At a footlog across the creek
the men told Boots to stay and
wait for them, then they crossed
the log and went a short dis
tance to fish.
When they came back to the
spot they had left Boots she
was nowhere to be found. In
spite Of their long search and
calling her vainly they had 10
return to Roanoke Rapids with
out her when darkness caught
them.
Since that time no word has
come regarding Boots.
Mrs. Glover said today she's
afraid Boots is somewhere griey-
ing for the Roanoke Avenue
friends she's left behind and said
she will certainly appreciate Il
if anyone in that section u
Northampton County where. She
was last seen will notify her -
she can bring Boots back ~
the haunts with which ~ -

If any man love the world, the love

Bible citation from the lesson-ser-
mon is: Isaiah As: 5, II. I am the
Lord, and there is none else, there
is no God beside me-. have

The creations of matter arise from
a mist or false claim, or from
mystification, and not from the
armament, or understanding which
God erects between the true and
false. In error everything comes
from beneath, not from above. All
is material myth, instead of the
reflection of Spirit. !. In this err
roneous theory, matter takes the
place of Spirit. Matter is repre-
sented as the life-giving principle
of the earth. The history of
error or matter, if veritable, would
set aside the omnipotence Of
Spirit; but it is the false history in
contradistinction to the true.
