NEW PASTOR AT
MERIDIAN M. E.
Dr. Virgil E. Rorer Preaches
Two Good Sermons.
"Many of us spend the last half of our
life undoing what we did the first half,”
declared Dr. Virgil E. Rorer last night
at the Meridian Street M. E. Church In
a sermon on "Character Building." Dr.
Rorer, who preached his initial sermon
at the morning service, will fill the pulpit
of the church, which has been vacant
for several months.
Dr. Rorer pointed out that Just as the
first half of the foundation In building
an eighteen-story structure is very Im
portant, so the structures of men's lives
depends upon their foundation. He said
It Is useless to try to build life upon a
record of shame; for It Is Impossible to
say that ho will forget and begin life
again.
"In erecting your bnilding you may
have others build your structure, but In
life none may build your structure but
yourself," he declared.
"Take heed how ye build. Why shall
ye taken heed? First, because ye are
builders and no man may build for you.
Second, because as ye build, so will oth
ers build after ye. Third, because a
variety of material may go Into the
structure; for Just as a preacher may
be a poetical preacher, a historical one
or a practical one. so may your building
material of your life's structure of char
acter vary. Fourth, because every man’s
work will be tested. Take heed how ye
build, lest ye be called upon to tear your
superstructure down.
“Therefore, take heed how ye bnild,
and built It well, bnild It straight, build
It strong and true.”
MeCOWELL SCORES
FOREIGN INFLU ENCES.
In an address on "Stay Awake, Amer
ica” at the Big Men’s meeting at Eng
lish's theater yesterday afternoon Lin
coln McConnell scored Bolshevism sent
out by Lentne from Russia as responsi
ble In a large measure for the Industrial
unrest which la spreading all over the
United States. He declared that the*?
“parasitic priests of Bolshevism” who are
showing “an alarming disrespect for law”
©f this country are causing thousands
of citizens of foreign birth to lose their
faith in the American government. He
scored “as devilish propaganda” periodi
cals printed In foreign languages contain
lnlng slanderous statements about the
Government.
“Spread the Information and teach It
as a holy gospel that this Is a govern
ment ‘of the people, by the people and
for the people,’ ” he stated.
Mr. McConnell said he believed In la
bor organizations, as he had at one time
been a member of one, but he censored
the Bolshevist propaganda wh'eh is be
ing spread among them. He advocated
that only American citizens should be
allowed to have a vote In the unions. He
pointed out that the responsibility of
stemming the tide of industrial unrest
falls to the church as the only Insti
tution which has the power to withstand
the propaganda for foreign agitators.
SAYS PRAYER HAS
BECOME LOST ART.
Prayer and meditation have almost be
come a “lost art,” according to Dr.
Frederick E. Taylor, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, in a sermon on “System
In Religion" at the morning service. He
pointed out that the greatest men in a
community are the men of prayer, saying
that many business men have apparently
lost the power of contemplation of the
higher things in life.
“You are too much occupied with the
rush of the affairs of every-day life to
have time to stop and consider religion
systematically," he said. "Everything,
whether in religlotf or In business, to be
done well and successfully, must be done
with a system. Therefore, If you Intend
to he n Christian, do It systematically
and act spasmodically.”
WILSON ISSUES
PROCLAMATION
Aside Thursday, Nov. 25,
J Thanksgiving Day.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—President
Wilson's Thanksgiving proclamation
saying that "in plenty, security and
peace, our virtuous and self-reliant peo
ple face the future.” and setting aside
Thursday, Nov. 25. for the usual observ
ance, is as follows:
"The season approaches when It be
hooves ns to turn from the distractions
and preoccupations of our dally life,
that we may contemplate the mercies
which have been vouchsafed to us. and
render heartfelt and unfeigned thanks
unto God for his manifold goodness.
“This Is an old observance of the
American people, deeply Imbedded In onr
thoughts and habits. The burdens and
the stresses of life have their own In
sistence.
“We have abundant cause for Thanks
giving. The lesions of the war are
rapidly healing. The great army of free
men. which America sent to the defense
of liberty, returning to the gratefnl em
brace of the nation, has resumed the
usual pursuits of peace, as simply and
ss promptly as It rushed to arms In
obedience to the country’s call. The
equal Justice of our laws has received
ready vindication in the support of a
lsw-abiding people against various and
sinister attacks, which have reflected
only the baser agitations of war, now
happily passing.
“In plenty, security and peace, our
virtuous and self-refiant people face the
future. Us duties and its opportunities.
May we have Tislon to discern our duties,
the strength, both of hand and resolve,
to disehargo them, and the soundness
cf heart to realize that the trnesr op
portunities are those of service.
“In a spirit, then, of devotion and
stewardship we should give thanks In
onr hearts, and dedicate ourselves to the
service of God's merciful and loving
purposes to his children.
“Wherefore. I, Woodrow Wilson, Presi
dent of the United States of America, do
hereby designate Thursday, the twenty
fifth day of November, as a day of
Thanksgiving and prayer, and I call
■upon my countrymen to cease from their
ordinary tusks and avocations upon that
day, giving it up to the remembrance
of God and his blessings, and their
dutiful and grateful acknowledgment"

Petrograd Soon to

Berlin Figures Say
PERLIX, Xov. Hi. —Petrograd will
soon be a deserted city, a mere mem
ory of the past like Troy or Carth
age. according to figures in the
Deutsche Medizlnlsche Woehensehrift.
The death rate In peace time In Pet
rograd was far from low; in 1914
It was 22.5 for each 1.000 population.
In 1916 the figures Increased to 23.3,
In 1918 to 43.6 and in 1919 79.4 per
sons died of every 1.000 residents.
If the rato of 74.9 is really 25 to
30 per cent below the truth, as rell
able medical reports Indicate, tha
death rate In Petrograd has reached
the appalling ratio of 100 persons ol
every 1,000, or 10 per cent.
In Berlin the death rate Is 13.6, i:i
London 9.5, In Stockholm 10 and m
Amsterdam 8.4 of every 1,000. Ac
cording to this, Petrograd's deah
rate Is seven times that of Berlin
and ten times that of London. Hand
*b hand with this steadily increasing
death rate Is an extraordinary de
crease In the birth rate, which has
dropped from 20.4 births for each
1,000 In the year 1914 to 13 to the.
1,000 in 1019. You can figure for your
self how long It will he. at this rate,
until Petrograd Is a deserted city.

Here*s a Woman
Who Knows How
to Repair Watch
She Learned Trade When
Youngster—Hopes to Own
Her Shop.
Iu ye olden days the watch wns a lux
ury, a treasure to be handed down from
father to son, but today the ten-year-old
girl displays a wrist watch and the school
boy Is poor Indeed who does not possess
“the kind that made the dollar famous.”
But common as the watch has become
and as general Its usnge, few are the
owners who can repair their own time
piece. They can take the kinks out of
their motor oar when It goes wrong, but
when the mnin spring of their watch
breaks they hurry It to the shop.
There Is one young woman In town,
however, when the motor of her wrist
watch develops a knock, who takes off
the back and does her own repair work.
Mrs. Pern Flint is n full fledged expert
watchmaker, the only woman working In
her line of business in the city. While
at present she Is not exactly making
watches, she Is regulating watches, tell
ing the unfortunate owners Just what
causes their t’uieplcces to gain or lose.
Mrs. Flint learned watch making In
Kansas, where her family owned a
Jewelry shop. From a chi and she wns In
terest'd In any species of mechanics.

BETTER THAN DOLES
"When I was Just a youngster, en
gines were far more interesting to me
than dolls.” she said. “I loved to tinker
with any kind of machinery and when,
in the shop, I saw the wonderful mechan
ism of the watch, 1 decided then and
there to learn all about its 'workings.
“t’nder the close guidance of the ex
pert watchmaker in the shop I worked
at the bench, to learn the art and con
tinued for several years. It was the
most fascinating work to me.
“Watch repairing Is so Interesting be
cause 1t is so human. The mechanism
resembles the human body with th- hair
spring as tho heart, the vital, pulsing,
delicate organ.
“When I was thrown on my own re.
sources a few years ago I esme to In
diana and took" a watch repairing posi
tion In BlckneT. working at the bench
for a year. At present I am not at the
bench. I am regulating and diagnosing

people and showing them the differences

"People don’t realize that they should
take as much care In buying watches
as they do In choosing their automobiles.
They should study the makes and the
i movements Just ns they do the motor

! "People, especially women, are too
' prone to buy a watch for Its rase. In
stead of looking to Its sterling mechan
ism, and they, like the owner of a motor
car with a beautiful, graceful body aud

"I do hope that 1 will have my own

If Earth Stopped
CHAMPAIGN, 111.. Nov. 15.—Here's
something to worry about.
If the earth were to stop rotating
we would all become dlzy and start
to walk in a circle. 'Sfact! In sup
port of the statement we have the
word of the eminent Dr. Coleman R.
Griffith, department of psychology.
University of Illinois.
Dr. Griffith has been experimenting
on the equilibrium of white rats for
the past air months. The rodents
were kept In a continuously rotating
cage and upon being released walked
circlewlae.
The work Is related to the problem
of equilibrium among aviators, and
the facts thus far established, l)r.
Griffith says, bear out those gained
from experiments with human be

ing knowledge of her trade, has not lost
one whit of her femininity, for, al
tthough she admits that wrist watches
are variable timekeepers and the smaller
the watch the more delicate and uncer
tain the mechanism, she wears a black
banded wrist watch of decidedly minute
proportions.

GAINSYILLE, Texas, Nov. 15.—More
than 15.000 rat tails, or enough to form
a rectangular figure about the city, were
accumulated by the local Chamber of
Commerce as a result of a rat-kllllng
campaign which has Just ended In Cooke
County, The campaign was to have con

sands of dollars worth of damage to
the crops. Now it Is said a rat cannot
be found in Cooke County. Cats which

many rats were killed in the county will
never be known. With the exhaustion of

bringing them to the city.
Business men are now busy denying
