A large and .enthusiastic congraga
j tion filled the auditorium of the Pres
byterian church last -night in the final
service of the senes that has been
| held there tms week. Continuing the |
plan Qf the laymen doing the apeak- :
, ing, four members o fthe Presbyterian |
j church spoke on auch subjects as i
| “What the Church Means to Me from :
I a Religious Standpoint”; "Why I Am
Glad That I Am a Christian”; "Why
| I Would Like for You To Be a Chrts-
and so forth. When the meet
ing was thrown open for general par
! ttcipation, six or eight more took
part, including one tourist from Long
Island who happened to he In the city.
Songs and prayers were called for,
and the congregation sang with an
enthusiasm that only matohed the In
terested attention that they paid to
the speakers.
It has been an entirely novel plan
! to devote a whole week’s meetings to
1 the testimony of the laymen of the
- churches, and many have been sur
prised to realize how earnest and de
voted the laymen of our various
| churches are, and all were uplifted
with the fine messages that they
brought.
At the close of the service. It was
decided by a unanimous vote of the J
| congregation to continue the services
for another week at the Methodist ;
; Protestant church, upon the invitation
of the pastor, Rev. L. W. Gerringer. j
.It was announced that the series
would begin tomorrow night, with a
sermon by Rev. D. E. Earnhardt and
that the ministers of the different
churches would speak by "turns, eaoh
l one taking a different evening.
A new feature that promises to be
especially attractive is that E. B. i
Pickard, of Norfolk. Va., has promised j
to be in Henderson, which is in his
business territory, and to conduct the
singing during the week's meeting.
Mr. Pickard is a brother of "Dad”
Pickard, who sings over the radio in
the National Farm and Home hour
from New York City and is a mem
ber of a very gifted musical family. |
.originally -from Tennessee. On each
Sunday he leads the singing of a i
Bible class of several hundred men in |
the largest Methodist church in Nor
folk.
The meeting next week will be the j
sixth week in the remarkable series
of meetings that began in the Chris- j
tian church and that moved from
there to the First Baptist ohurch and i
then to the First Methodist church
for two weeks, and then this past'
week to the Presbyterian church. It
has been remarkable ail along for the
unity of spirit that has characterized
the five .participating churches, and
many have said that they never saw
anything tike it before in Henderson
The interest hfcs been built wp to the
.point where it is expected that next
week will be -the best of all, and
many feel that the auditorium of the
Methodist Protestant ehoroh -will not
toe large enough to accommodate the
congregations -Reported

“What do you want?” ssked MX
woman, sitting at a desk and taking
s pencil and pad in her hand.
Lillian answered: “A Job"
“Naturally. Or why would you
come to an employment agency?"
but she laughed to take off Mm sting
Her voice was ao longer low and
monotonous. , j
Lillian smiled but feit generally

But Lttllan was conscious of a moist,
chilliness u> tbe room.
“That's right.’' answered Lillian
"I'd like to go to work right away—”
"Yoa. of course. But there an ap

The -woman looked as If she
thought Lillian had been rude and

“How can 1 pay lor a job— to get
one so I won't be broke if 1 haven't

Lillian felt desperate. She was
pleading for reason with this woman.
She felt compelled to make the
woman grasp the Inconsistency c?
her system—to moke her see that it
was wrong, that there was nothing
fair about it.
“Very well." said the woman, rising
from her desk with something like
finality, "if you can't pay I can't taka
up any more time with you."
When Lillian came out of the office
she scanned the crowded hall for
I .aura and Eve. She hoped they had
waited.
There was a line of people, old
and young, waiting outalde the wib
dow. Another woman, much the same
type person aa the one by whom Lil
lian had been Interviewed, sat ston

lips was always the same. “Nothing

About the office were alert, neat

She atepped fast. She wanted to be

Laura and Eve were waiting out

She felt better, seeing them. They

"Do they all want you to pay a
