High Point, Sept. 26—For the first time in the history of High Point’s police court, a defendant has been sentenced to attend church. Convicted here today on a charge of larceny, Pines Hancock, 16-year-old boy, had judgment suspended by Judge Donald C. MacRae, upon condition that he attend the Rev. Geroge Stepehens revival three times each week so long as it is in progress here. The suspended sentence also carried the stipulation that he attend Sunday school regularly each Sunday and that he report to the court every Saturday to show good behavior for a period of 12 months.
