The Metropolitan Concert Co. will appear at the opera house here on the evening of November 3, for the benefit of the Concord Library. The Lynchburg News of October 24, says of this company: An appreciative audience greeted the Metropolitan Concert Company last night at the City Auditorium on its annual visit to Lynchburg. The privilege of hearing so beautiful program is unusual. Both in content and exeention it was above criticism.

The ensemble work was suburb and the soloists were in excellent form. Mrs. Luedlla Chesison Ohrman, charmed her audience by the exquisite timbre of her voice and the deliGRey of her Anterpretations, while Miss Christine Miller held the house captive by her breath and richness of tone as well as by her magnetic personality. Mr. Duffey's robust tenor is conspicuously beautiful.

Mr. Martin, already a pronounced favorite with the music lovers of Lynchburg, was at his best and delighted all by the rare quality of his voice. The quartette was fortunate in having with them Mr. Loins Potter, pianist and accompanist. The encores were especially charming.

Fowler and Miss Hattie Miller, of Spencer, had narrow escape from serious injury while driving in East Spencer Wednesday afternoon: At an unguarded moment their vehicle was run into by a country man with a load of wood, the buggy being almost demolished and the ladies severely injured by the shock. They were taken home in an automobile by J. E. Kennerly, of Winston -Salem, who happened to pass near the scene of the accident, and will, it is thought, suffer no permanent injury, CONFESSION, PRATER AND PROMISE. Synopsis of Sermon at First Baptist Church Wednesday Night by Rev.

0. A Jones. Pa. 51: 1-13. This psalm record of David's spiritual experience in a great crisis in his religious life.

He was a great man, and yet he had committed a grievous sin. The greatness of his soul is shown in his attitude toward his own sin. He makes frank, full and honest confession, prays for forgiveness and cleansing and then promises an amended life to God. Let me say in passing that the Bible does not teach that God's real children never commit sin, but it does teach that the true child of God who has sinned will never be satisfied until he has set himself right with God. I call your attention to the three main ideas in these verses: I.

We have a great confession. There are two things that characterize this confession: 1. It is full and frank. David makes no effort to excuse or to palliate his sin. He uses several words to describe his conduet, transgressions, "mine my sin." He describes his own conduct in these dark words.

He was honest with himself and with God. 2. His confession is intensely personal. It was his own sin that David confessed. Throughout these verses he makes no reference to any one else.

He uses only the first personal pronoun- me, my, Here we need to stop and reflect. It is so easy for us to try to excuse and palliate our own sin and to condemn the sins of others! The sinner is troubled on account of the sins of the church member; church members are worried on account of the sins of their brethren. When, if we were honest with ourselves, we would discover that each one has enough to do to deal with God for his own sins. We need, like David, to shut out from our minds all thought of others and to confess to God the sins of our own individual heart. This great confession is followed by: II.

A great prayer. David prays for four specific blessings: 1. For forgiveness Blot out my He desired that God should wipe out the record of his sin, forgive it. Doubtless all of us pray this part of the prayer. But David goes further.

2. He prays for purification. me with syssop, "wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." He not only wished to be forgiven, but he desired to be cleansed that he might not fall into the sin again. A man's prayer for forgiveness is not sincere unless it comes from a deep desire to be purifiled from sin. 3.

David prays for the continued presence of the Spirit. He felt as though he stood on the edge of a great precipice, and he plead that God should not cast him away, not take his Holy Spirit from him. Doubtless he remembered how the Spirit of God left Saul and an evil spirit took charge. With this in mind David pleads that this fearful doom might not be his. We need to remember that the Spirit of God does not dwell in fullness and power in unclean hearts.

He prays for the restoration of the joys of salvation. He had not lost his salvation, but through sin he had lost its joy. No man can be happy in his religion who is conscious of wrong-doing in his life. This is the Divine order. Forgive ness, cleansing, the power of the indwelling spirit, the joy of sweet fellowship with God.

Now notice. IlL The promise. "Then will teach transgressors thy ways and sinners shall be converted unto God." If we are to lead sinners to God, which is the Christian's business, we must must be sure that we must be right with God ourselves. The need of the church of Christ throughout our land is that the church itself shall be saved, saved from worldliness and sin. A saved churchchurch whose religion is true and gennine and vital- -is God's agent in saving the world.

As we earnestly request that each Christian here shall close himself in with God and see first that he is right with God and then we shall be able to reach others. We need to examine our own hearts. Death of Mr. R. G.

Bruton. Mr. R. G. Bruton died last night at 10:45 o'clock at his home on Elm street after an illness of several months of pellagra.

Mr. Bruton was 56 years of age and a native of Montgomery county but had been a resident of this city for number of years. He is survived by a wife and ten children. One son, Mr. C.

N. Bruton, a merchant of Mount Gilead, was at his bedside when the end came. The funeral was held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home by Rev. J. J.

Eads. The interment was made at Oakwood cemetery. THE MISSIONARY JUBILEE. Official Btaff as Organized Here This Week. The offleial staff of the Missionary Jubilee organized this week stands as follows: Cheirman, Mrs.

S. Harris. This celebration looks backward 50 years to the hour when a company of women from six denominations assembled in the parlor of Mrs. T. C.

Doremus, in New York, and organized the Woman's Union Missionary Society. Since then women's missionary socities have multipled in every denomination, and, through their influence, interest in missionary work has widened and deepened and, also, notably, have funds increased to send forth the heralds of salvation. Many women have gone as missionaries to heathen lands and gained effective entrance to that part of the population which no man can hope to reach in any way but the most superficial and unsatisfactory, The object of the jubilees now being held is threefold. 1st. To crystalize the interest already awakened unto some definite form of service, and to give every woman an opportunity to become a real vital factor in giving the glad Gospel of the Son of God to the non-Christian world.

2nd. To make this new vision a lasting stimulus to a deeper spiritual life, a call to more fervent prayer, an incentive to more intelligent study of the fields abroad and the problem at home. 3rd. To honor the Lord with a Jubilee offering of one million dollars. Committee: Mrs.

Defeat New York Giants by the Overwhelming Score of 13 to 2. Philadelphia, Oct. Philadelphia Athletics. Champions of the world for the second successive year. In an exhibition of batting seldom seen in a premier baseball series, the American League team this afternoon defeated New York in the sixth game of the set by the overwhelming score of 13 to 2, thus giving them the four necessary games out of the six played to carry off baseball's greatest honor.

It was more than am ere defeat for the Giants- was a rout. Philadelphia is celebrating tonight as it has never before observed a great baseball victory. To defeat New York in revenge for the trouncing the Leaguers gave them in 1905, was almost as pleasing to the Athletics as winning the world's championship With the victory goes 60 per cent. of $127,910.61, or $76,746.37 of which each Athletic player will receive 654.59. The loser will receive 164.24, or $2,436.39 for each New York player.

The batting matinee that the Athletics gave was one of the finest exhibitions of offensive playing seen at Shibe park in a long time. Coming from behind after New York had scored one run in the first inning the Athletics tied the score in the third inning, won it in the fourth by making four runs, made it a little safe in the sixth when they added another run and crushed the Giants in the seventh inning under an avalanche of seven hits, which, with a couple of mishaps, added seven more runs to the total. The sensational hitting of the pitchers the New Yorkers sent in to the box roused the excited crowds to the greatest enthusiasm. With victory in their grasp the Atleties appeared to let down and when the seventh inning was over the cheering thousands started to leave the grounds. The struggling National League champions sent in three pitchers to stem the tide, but all were hit almost alike, Wiltse getting the worst whaling.

The other two were Ames, who started the game, and Marquard, who followed Wiltse into the box. Thirteen hits for a total of 17 bases was the total shown by the hit column when the game was over. Comedy abounds in which comes here next Tuesday, despite the impressions that might be gained otherwise by the title of the play. The comedy is the unexpected feature of this play. A PAIR OF WALKERS.

Two Mt. Pleasant Citisens Walk 32 Miles in Eight Hours and Are Each $2.00 Ahead for the Feat. Talk about your globe trotters, wheelbarrow pushers, Glidden tourista, but Mt. Pleasant has produced a pair of walkers that bid fair to win fame in the hottest competition, in fact they have already covered themselves with glory and are now, locally, in the elans with home-runBaker. It came about this way: Yesterday afternoon, about the time Philadelphia began to bury New York in the baseball cemetery, Mr.

J. L. Lefler went to Lowder's stable to get a turnout. What's the price?" he inquired of Mr. Lowder.

4 Two dollars, was the reply. "Two exclaimed Mr. Lefler in surprise, man. I don't want to go to Philadelphia to see the game. only want to go up to Faith on business.

I'll walk before I'll pay that." "Alright. I'll just give you two dollars to walk it, declared Mr. Lowder. "I'm your man, put up your accepted the officer of law and order. "Got any more two dollars to dispose of!" asked Mr.

Grier, who was standing near by. "Yes, by George, I'll just give you two dollars to go with him. "It's a go, said Mr. Grier, "and here's a two bet that I do go." Mr. Lowder placed the six dollars involved in the transaction in the hands of Mr.

F. W. Foil and the two men were off. The whole affair happened with such speed that the walkers were well on their way before it became generally known that a tour was in progress. They made the trip in fine shape, the thirty- two mile jaunt appearing to them little more than a pleasant outing.

They made it in eight hours' walking Mr. Lowder is now considering the advisability of establishing a permanent walking route to Faith. Mount Pleasant, October 27, 1911. Maxwell Team Wins Trophy. Jacksonville, Oct.

26. In one of the hardest rains experienced in this section in many months the Glidden tourists reached the end of the 1911 tour here shortly after noon today. Despite the heavy downpour the visitors were met on the outskirts of the city by more than one hundred local automobiles and, headed by a brass band, paraded through the city before being checked out. The Maxwell team, the only team entry to come in with a perfect score, was awarded the famous Glidden trophy. Eight individual cars came in with perfect scores, including that of Miss Marks, of Athens, the only woman driver in the tour.

Tonight the visitors were entertained at a banquet at a local hotel and a smoker at the board of trade rooms. Many of the cars will be shipped back north by steamer. Today's run of 96 miles from Live Oak, to Jacksonville was one of the hardest stretches encountered by the tourists on account of the heavy roads but unfortunately none of the cars came to grief. The census just completed shows that the total population of Canada is only about 7,150,000. New York State alone contains 9, 113, 279 people, according to the census of 1910, an increase over the 1900 figures of about the total gain of Canada in the ten years.

Pennsylvania has just about as many people as the whole dominion. In the last decade the United States showed an increase of 16,145,521, more than twice the total population of Canada, and this in spite of the fact that we conributed more than our share of settlers to Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Occurred in No 1 Township Last Night of Peritonitis, The little town of Harrisburg and the surrounding community was saddened last night by the death of one of its most beloved young women, Mne Thomas Query, who died of peritonitis at midnight at her home in No. 1 township, after an illness of two weeks' duration.

She had been married about one year and she and her husband had been living in their new home only a short time. Her death, coming as it did right in the full flower of young womanhood, is a sad one and is made particularly so by the I motherless infant, the first born, about a fortnight old and a young husband who survives her. Before her marriage to Mr. Thomas Query about a year ago she was Miss Mary Oglesby, daughter of Mr. W.

H. Oglesby, of Harrisburg, and was one of the most popular young ladies of that section of the county, For time before her marriage she was nurse at the Presbyterian hospital, Charlotte. She was 28 years of age. Mrs. Query had been a member of the Presbyterian church at Harrisburg for several years and was young woman of the strongest Christian character.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home and will be conducted by Rev. James Lapaley and assisted by Rev. T. W. Smith, of this city.

Jealousy Jealousy is one of the most remarkable motion pictures that has ever been put on, both in conception and execution, powerfully acted by one woman in one scene. It is a Vita graph, and will be exhibited at the Theatorium today. It is an emotional picture, which could not be excelled by Mrs. Leslie Carter in or "'Du Barry" or by Margaret Illington in her great presentation of the title roll of "The Thief. It shows the stages of jealousy, beginning with the first fear that her love is scorned, till she knows beyond doubt that she has been supplanted by another woman.

It aptly illustrates the old saying that "Hell hath no fury like woman Mills KNIT UNDERWEAR Hand Finished The Best in Knit Underwear is Here for Misses' and Ladies' in Cotton and Wool.
