6 THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH. N. SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1929. HOLD CONFERENCE ON WORK OF MEN Dr. William F.

Weir and Dr. Truett Among Montreat Speakers Montreat, Aug. Work Conference of the Southern Presbyterian Church began its sossions in Montreat on Thursday night, 'August 15, when a large audience heard Dr. Wm. F.

Weir, Senior Seeretary of Men's Work in the Presbyterian Church, U. S. Philadelphia, speak on the subject "Facing Four Foremost Facts." This conference will continue through Tuesday, August 20. Under the direction of Dr. J.

E. Purcell, Secretary of Men's work, Atlanta, a rich program is being given, containing such names as Dr. Robert E. Speer, of New York, who will preach at both services Sunday, August 18, Dr. George W.

on, Truett, Dallas, Texas, Dr. John Vander Meulen, Sr. of Louisville, and Dr. James I. Vance, Nashville, Tenn.

"A fact is what is," was a definition given by Dr. Weir Thursday night. "It is what may be known to be. We do not know many things 88 facts. Our opinion has no effect on what is a fact.

There are some foremost or supreme facts. When these are settled all matters are settled. Many people are troubled about very many things. If they would deal with a few great facts thoroughly the thousand little affairs would for. There are not so many foremost facts.

We shall deal with four. "The first fact is the fact of Christ," continued the speaker. This is the supreme "act. No one really begins to live until he deals with the fact of Christ. "The second of the four foremost facts is the fact of Christ's Church." The speaker pointed out that we can't face the fact of Christ without coming down to the fact of His church, whose identity with Christ needs emphasis.

"The church is His body in which He lives and through which 1's sends His power and grace to save men," declared Dr. Weir. "The third of the four foremost facts is, for Presbyterian men, the fact of the Presbyterian Church. That is to say, the Presbyterian Church is a denominational church and does a very large part of its work through denominational agency and organization. Loyalty to Christ and His Church means loyalty to our denominational program.

There are no more binding and sacred loyalties than our Cenominational loyalties." "The fourth foremost fact," continued Dr. Weir, "is the fact of the local Church. In fact we do not get to the Church at all until we get to the local church; for most all Christians the local church is the only field for service. Loyalty to Christ and His Church means loyalty to our local churches." In his address on Thursday morning, Dr. Truett answered the question "Why suffering?" Dr.

Truett reasons why God makes 118 suffer, enlarging upon them with a wealth of telling illustrations from his personal perience. In the first place all of life is a trusteeship and trouble is only a part of the trust. born it will help humanity as much as the sermons of a preacher. "The eyes of the world great. focussed you in sorrow," said speaker; "bear it to the glory of God." "What can infidelity say in the face of sor ww?" In the second place Dr.

Truett held that trouble gives God a platform to show his skill, a chance to show his grace, just as the patient affords the doctor An opportunity to demonstrate his learning. And then sorrows serve for disciplining speaker. we may training, us, according to the comfort others in their suffering." "Heaven itself can only be entered by way of a cross." And finally trouble is enducation. "Suffering is education." maid Dr. Truett; "there da no painless education." The church, the nation, the family or the individual that is at ease is rotting, da doomed.

"Moral muscle, like physical muscle, requires discipline," said Dr. Truett. "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion." FIGHTS WITH DEADLY WEAPON, DEAD SNAKE Jonesboro, Aug. 17. County of.

VAST PLAYGROUND BEING ADVOCATED Stokes People Dream of Development of 40 Square Miles of Territory Danbury, Aug.

gigantic plan in which the 40 square miles of mountain territory, lying adjacent to Danbury, and covered by the Sauratown Mountains, would be developed into a vast playground. Several projects has been advocated here by several of the leading citizens, who are urging that some promoter, financially able, take up the project and bring about a realization of the program which is printed here this week in a local newspaper. W. N. Reynolds, of Winston-Salem, head of the R.

J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, has been named as the most probable man to take over this big playground. The plan which has been drawn up and published here would include a senior road to the top of Moores' Knob, one of the highest peaks east of the Rocky Mountains, from which view into several States is afforded with the aid of glasses, and Hanging Rock, another majestic peak near Moore's Knob; Cook's Wall, another peak and Cascade Falls, the main attraction of the Sauratown section. Other propects that are included in the area are Moore's Springs, Piedmont Springs, Vade Meeum Springs, Rock House, Steadman Lake, the thouand other attractions, Sauratown Game Preserve, and a which are all within the 40-squaremile area. The dream has long been felt here.

There are hundreds who would like to 500 the section developed, although they know that it will take millions and that no one in this county is able to develop this section. However, as a memorial, which would in many years to come leave it's impression on thousands of residents and many visitors, it is invaluable--the section lies practically dormant, waiting for the giant hand to turn it into a garden of beauty.

Copyright 1928, by American Blackie By D. SAM COX BETTIE IS FUNNY AND DOESN'T KNOW IT. Bettie was in the kitchen when she heard Jenny scream over the bumble bee, and she ran to the door just in time to see her jump back and fall over Benny, and it was funny enough to make her laugh, when she saw that nobody was hurt, and that even the children were laughing about it, instead of erying, as she had been afraid they would do. And she made her mind right then that two such good sports as they were ought to have all the animals they wanted, no matter whose bucket was the fullest, and she was going to fix it some way 1 that would make them both happy. But she was saved the trouble of decidfor when they both came tiptoeing in the kitchen with the second buekets of water, even Doctor Coon, with his fine eye for measuring out medicine, never could have told that there was a spoonful more water in one bucket that there was in the other, and they were both nearer full than even Bettie or Grandma had ever brought in their lives.

"Which is the fullest?" Jenny ask. ed, as she eased her bucket down beside Benny's. "I can't tell you till dinner time," Bettie said. "Then you will see who has the most billie goats on his plate. And now you had better go in the garden and get some onions for this stew." Anything to keep the children busy, and make them quit worrying about their daddy and Joesko and Jay Bird.

It was bad enough to do her own worrying because they had gone, and to have to see those children worry was too much. "I'd just like to look into that big tree of Blackie's, and see what sort of housekeeping he does. I'll bet it's a sight. Just what sort of a house do you suppose a lot of menfolks would keep, anyway?" Bettie said to Grandma, 88 the putting down her bread. "Well, you ought to know something about the way can house," Grandma said, "for he tainly around used here.

to, If get anybody lot of could practice scale a fish better or cook him better, or make up a better bed than Blackie could, I don't know who it is. I taught him all those things when he was little, and if he ever had time to forget them I don't know when it was." That seemed a pretty good time to change the subject so far as Bettie was concerned, for she didn't know just what answer to make, and so she managed to knock the lid off of the boiler, and then made considerable to-do in taking it out to the water shelf to wash while she was grumbling at herself for being so awkward. And Grandpa doesn't know till this day what Grandma was smiling about when she went out to the front porch where was smoking and asked him it he had called her. Grandma knew mighty well that it isn't always well to laugh in the face of folks. (Copyrighted 1929 by American Business Company).

Associated Press Market Editor. Chicago, Aug. -Friends of higher prices for wheat took the bit in their teeth today and forced the market higher regardless of determined opposition. Increasingly bad threshing advices from Canada gave a basis for enlarged buying here of wheat future deliveries and so too did sharp upturns Liverpool quotations, as well as talk of American farmers in the northwest holding back their wheat hoping for steep advance ahead. After rising to 12 1-2c per bushel prices current here Wednesday, wheat closed firm, 1 1-2 1-2c higher than yesterday's finish.

Corn closed 1-8 to 3-4c up, oats at 3-8c decline to advance and provisions unchanged to a rise of 10 to 12c. The temper of a considerable portion of the wheat trade was well illustrated today by the fact that for the first time $3 a bushel instead of $2 was being mentioned as the ultimte goal of prices. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat strength and were responsive also to word of continued dry weather throughout the corn belt. Industries brought corn out of store here, a circumstance permitting receipts to fall short of requirements. Provisions advanced with grain, notwithstanding that beg prices were lower.
