VOL. XXIX. MANUFACTURING PLANTS OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES ARE MOVING SOUTH Psychological Moment For Winder and Barrow County To Become Interested Unless We Are To See Other Towns Profit To The Exclusion of Our Own ATLANTA BUILDERS AND ENGIN EERS EMPLOYED ON BIG NORTH CAROLINA CONTRACT. Announcement last week that the building contract for the transfer of a large unit of the manufactur ing plant of the Jencks Spinning com pany, of Pawtucket R. 1., from that city to Gastonia, N. C., had been let to the Abernathy Construction compapny, of Atlanta and, Boston, presages a movement of considerable moment, to ward the south, according to L. W. Robert, whose office. Robert & Cos. Ine. are engineers for the Jenckes compa ny's new southern plant. “The Jenckes Spinning company is the first actually to let contracts for the movements of units to the south,” said Mr. Robert, “I)ut in addition to this company there are no less than half a dozen others who are right now contemplating such a move. Some of them are now .surveying this terri tory- for suitable locations. More favor able labor conditions and better condi tions generally to be found in the south, together with the nearness of this sec tion to the raw cotton market, better freight conditions and milder climate are all factors which are operating to make this talked of move a matter of actual fact.’” ‘A g’fcat many of these companies have selected North and South Carolina for the location of their mills, primarily on account of the activity of interests and communities in these states who are on the job and who are selling the idea of locations there rather than further south. There i* no reason for Georgia not getting its share of this new devel opment, and now is certainly the psy choiocical moment for communities in terested to bestir themselves unless they are to see other sections profit by the movement to the exclusion of Georgia."

Dodd Almost it seems that in what men call modern terms the churches are te giuuing to express their true mission in the world. W/> prate knowingly of “Evangelism,” “Church Evangelism,” “Child Evangelism” and all the rest, as if the church had amy other business but to bring men to Jesus. We are put ting particular stress on “Enlistment” too, these latter days. Enlistment in what? What is enlistment, if it is not harnessing our lives to those around us and beyond us by cords of love and persuasion and compelling influence in bringing them to Jesus? Sometimes we use the term enlistment, I fear, a if it meant something else but soul winning, life saving service in making and training disciples to our Lord. The First Baptist church is making Soul Winning and Life Saving (Evan gelism and Enlistment) the two big tilings in 1923. The church accepted it responsibility and has asked the Pas tor to do the preaching during the Spe cial Evangelistic season beginning Sun day, April 22, and the Pastor is count ing on the most earnest, intense person al evangelism on the part of the mem bership, for while we grant there is a place and a work for the evangelist of the right type, we do not believe that we can “grow in the grace and knowl edge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” unless we are walking in His steps,” and de do remember that “the Son of Man enme to seek and to save that which was lost.” To SEEK out to save. We cannot SAVE sinners, but we can SEEK them, and if we are fol lowing Jesus, we ARE seeking them. WESLEYAN SERVICES Rev. T. F. Cook will preach at the Wesleyan church Sunday, February IS, at 7:30 P.
