Great Youth Rallies will be held each evening. Thousands will he present. Two hundred years ago, in a little society meeting in Aldersgate street, London, John V/esley, long in search of satisfying religious faith, exper ienced a spiritual awakening about which he wrote: “I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt that I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for sal vation; and an assurance was given me, that he had taken away my sins.” In 1938 world-wide Methodism will commemorate the bi-centennial of that event. In the Methodist Epi«copal church, South, under the leadership of the Bishops, especially directed by Bishop A. Frank Smith, the Alders gate Commemoration will take form of the most powerful spiritual for ward movement ever known in the ehurch. The commemoration has no financial objective. No money will be raised. Every interest of the church is to be undergirded with new spirit ual power. Every Methodist interest- ed_ in vitnl religion, evangelism, and spiritual life is expected to cooperate. Beginning next Tuesday, March 8, promptly at 9:30 A.

Hunt was president of tne Board ox Directors ox Rosemont ceme tery, he recommended that additional land tnen available be purchsed. Tnis was done, and last summer it became necessary to develop these four acres, since all space in tne cemetery proper had been sold. This development has proved far more costly than was anticipated due to the very large quantities of granite underlying the property that had to be removed; consequently, the Board rinds itself entirely without funds for upkeep. ihe members feel that there is hardly a person in the city as well as in the county who js not very person ally interested in the cemetery. To each of these and to other interested persons who, live away from New berry, the Board is appealing for a small annual upkeep of $5.00, but a larger contribution would be deeply appreciated. Unless there is a general and gene rous response to this request, the cemetery will soon show the result of the loss of the necessary number of workers, and no lot owner would wish to see this sacred place neglect ed looking. Checks should be mailed to D. L. Nance, Treasurer. F. R. Hunter, Chainnan of Upkeep Committee. . Z. F. Wright, President of the Board. DUKE’S POWER RATES REDUCED xesteri row. ” Adjournment for lunch.
