Hhn Preached Here on Several Occasions. Rev. George H. Atkinson, who is in charge of a group of schools in North Carolina, visited his friend. Rev. Hugh R.

At the morning service Mr. Atkinson took for his text "And there went with him a band of men whose hearts God had touched." I Samuel, 10th chapter and part of the 26th verse. His discourse was eloquent and earnest and a large congregation listened wPh Interested attention. At the evening service an even larger congregation heard Mr. Atkinson preach another splendid sermon, his subject being, "The Greatest Ambition in Life," and his text, Philippians third chapter and a part of the eighth verse, "That I may win Christ." Special music was also enJoyed at the evening service, including vocal solo by Mr. Thomas Beaty. Sunday afternoon Mr. Atkinson preached the sermon at the installation of Messrs. M. J. Green and J. R. Caskey as elders and Mr. HunteT Williams as a deacon in the Douglas church. This interesting ceremony was participated in also by the pastor, Rev. H. R. Murchison and all the elders and several deacons oi f the Lancaster Presbyterian church. Mr. Atkinson's visit will long be remembered in Lancaster and we are glad that so many enjoyed the privilege of hearing him. In addition to the sermons he preached Mr. Atkinson also spoke to the colored people at Zion M. E. church Sunday night and helped them to raise enough money to purchase n new Bible. Monday morning he made an interesting talk to the children at the Central graded school and persuaded them also to raise money for a new Bible. He spoke at the colored school yesterday morning and was much interested at the ambition which is prompting so many of the negroes to obtain an education as well as the methods employed by the teachers in this school.

CLEAN-UP DAYS. For sanitation and health, for the prevention of destruction of property by Are, for the beauty of the city and for the reason tnat "cleanliness is next to godliness," clean-up days I are imperative neccesstties in all cities, large and small alike. These special seasons when the mayor Is- > sues a proclamation to the citizens, to look to it that the premises of , their business establishments, as well as their residences, are thoroughly cleansed of refuse and rubbish of every descrlptron are of comparatively recent origin and since their inauguration nave grown In popularity until now there are few cities of even minor importance but have one or more such cleaning campaigns in the course of every year. It is a pity, however, that such campaigns should be necessary. In some few cities, they are unnecessary because tho citizens aro so filled with civic pride that they keep ' their property in a tnoroughly clean I condition all of the time. Rut 'average American city has not^^H paused sufficiently long in the j scramble for increased populn^H| to develop the esthetic side (as^HH regarded by so many business of city building or development^^" Rut competition in trade liaf^mei come so sharp in all branches of business activity, that it has forced ! the merchant to study his business carefully for the purpose of finding and stopping little leaks, so small in fact that a few years ago he would i not give them a second thought. He is realizing today that a clean place of business is more attractive to the average customer than a dirty store with unkept surroundings. He knows that refuse and rubbish increase the fire hazard on his property and that he liaB to pay for the dirt in Increased cost of insurance. Although the average citizen realizes these statements as facts, stih 'concerted action and continuous | action for cleanliness have not yet i been secured and consequently it is necessary to have the clean-up campaigns. The usual method of conducting such a campaign is as follows: The board of health informs | the mayor of unsanitary conditions I resulting from foul alleys and premises. The mayor as a rule will issue la proclamation designating one or more days to be known as clean-up [days, calling upon all citizens to give | their premises a thorough cleaning. The city makes arrangements for the disposal of all rubbish collected ' from private property and announces that if citzcns will have the 1 rubbish piled In convenient places 'it will be carried away. Many times the insuranco people will give valuable assistance in the campaign in showing how cleanliness will dej crease insurance premiums and iother questions of similar character. (The Chamber of Commerce and Civic Clubs get behind the movement and .all working generate sufficient en' thusiasm In the campaign as to cause the whole city to bestir itself .to get clean. Manv cities have ordlnnneoa which me went Knd Neighborhood Clue at one of Its most enjoyable fall meetings last Friday afternoon. Hei guests numbered several visitors In addition to the club members.
