FROM THE WORD OF GOD FROM LITERATURE [Jesus is called the Second Adam, Advocate, Alpha and Omega, Blessed and Only Potentate, Captain of Salvation, Chief Cornerstone, Chief Shepherd, Dayspring, Desire of all Nations, Emmanuel, Everlasting Father, Faithful Witness, First and Last, God, Good Shepherd, Great High Priest, Head of the Church, Holy One, and many other names.] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.—Luke 4:21. 9 m Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the.'chastisement of our peace was .upon him; and -with- his-Btripes .. we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray ; we have turned every one to his own way ; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shear- ers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation ? for he was cut off out of the land of thejiving: for the trans- gression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death ; because he had done nn violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. —- He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.—Isaiah 53:4-11. » * And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that Is to say, a place of a skull, They gave him. vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof , he would not drink. And they crucified -him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. And sitting down they watched him there; And set up over his head his accusation written, THTSTSTESTrS —Matthew 27:33-37. * * * Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Ellas. And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him td drink. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him; Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

"There are many men who would give five years of their lives to live over five minutes in the past. when there came a tide which it taken at the flood would have led on to fortune*," said Dr. Lynch. He referred to the incident of the rich young man as one of the saddest in thVJMe_of Christ. Oppor- tunity brought this young man near the kingdom of God. He had four distinct advantages—wealth, youth, social position, and good manners. He had been7~trafiiea well "firhfar home, "the power house of our lives."

Workers met at the church at five o'clock in the morning, joined in a brief service of spiritual preparation, and then went out in groups to preach the Gospel in every corner of the city. From one home to another they went all day long, preaching, singing, testifying, distributing tracts. Through the morning, the entire long afternoon, and even until after darkness had closed the day, these earnest workers conducted services in non- Christian homes in Cruces. The first group did not return to makes its report at the church until ten-thirty. Fifteen hours had been spent in the "highways and hedges,", in the homes of the.people who, although not interested enough in Christianity to attend services, would hear those who had such a passion for souls as to bring the Gospel to ' their doors. Soon other groups returned, until the church was filled with those who had given the day to Kingdom service.

Expenses of the building, if erected, will be defrayed by gifts from the students and other friends who are interested in a movement of this kind. It is proposed that.the architecture . of the building"-cbTncIde"wTfh the period already in vogue on the campus. The Interior will combine sim- plicity and quiet dignity with usefulness. The proposal grows out of an ap- parent need for a central base of operations for all the religious activities on the campus and the need for a closer connecting link between the Student, life, and .the- church. This project is as yet but a hope. The students are expecting the Bap- tists of the State to assist financially in this religions project which they feel will advance the spiritual life of the student body to a point which has not been reached heretofore.

Brother Long has had a successful pastorate at Clinton. At the time of his resigna- —rion—he-was—in-point-of—service—fehe- oldest pastor , not only In Clinton but in the county, and was dean of the Clinton Ministerial Association. Mrs. Long is as popular as her husband, having the faculty of making and holding friends. The two together have rendered distinguished service through the years. Brother Long's popularity may be gathered trom the fact that he has married 185 couples and conducted 172 fun- erals at Clinton. We had hoped To "have" Brother Long back in North Carolina, but this more does not increase our hope for such return. MANY HEAR GOSPEL FIRST TIME IN LOUISIANA REVIVAL Missionaries L. C. Smith and A.

Rev. Perkins Wayne, graduate of Louisiana College and of Baptist Bible Institute, who had been in the services, felt the call of this needy field and agreed to accept the work on faith. - The Home Mission Board 'will'likely'make some provisions for his needs. VOLUNTEER WORKERS SOUGHT FOR DEAF SERVICES Missionary J. W. Michaels states that in his work among deaf-mutes he is especially anxious to get volunteer hearing workers to sponsor religious services for those who cannot hear. "The deaf everywhere," he says, "look up to hearing people'for things spiritual as well as secular." As an example of notable service rendered by a hearing person, he cites the record of Mrs. R. L. White, one of the leaders in the Sunday school of the First Baptist Church, Little Rock, Arkansas. Mrs. White has been in -charge of work with the deaf for a number of years. The church has now built an addition which includes four rooms to be used by the deaf. In the department for the deaf are three class rooms and an assembly room. Brother Michaels is hopeful that other hearing workers will enlist to help in this work, until in every community where there are deaf-mutes there will be a Baptist volunteer- worker leading religious services for . the deaf. MISLEADING QUOTATION You often hear the quotation, "Ye shall know _the truth and the truth "sha"lT"make"you"free.''" Frequently It is used in connection with Institutions of learning. For instance,' on the front of the Academic Building at the University of Virginia one may read this quotation in Greek. Probably no other familiar quotation is repeated so often without its true meaning, rendered so incom- pletely. For this promise follows a definite condition without that condition, its significance is lost. The words, as you remember, are taken from the Gospels. the words of Jesus. As they are usually quoted, the assumption seems . to be that the promise is uncondi- tional, that the knowledge of the lib- erating truth may be had, regard- less. Nothing could be farther from the meaning of Jesus' great words. It is probably assumed in the quotation as recited by academicians that search for truth is necessary for the promise to be fulfilled—a con- ning of ancient lore, perhaps, or a study of new science. dition which Jesus set forth was neither of these. He did not say nor intimate that If you studied the classics, or if sciences, natural or "social," you would consequently know the truth. What He did say was: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

W. Beagle, field secretary, presiding. Dr. M. N. McCall, superintendent of missions in Cuba^ delivered two addresses each day on "HowTo Pre- pare and Deliver Sermons." Dr. Beagle made three addresses on the work of the preacher. Dr. J. B. Lawrence, also present for the conference, brought four messages on "The Holy Spirit in Mis- sion's." On the program were twenty-three missionaries who are leading the attack on sin in Mexican Catholic com- munities on an unbroken gospel front from Bryan on the northeast to Brownesville on the south, and thence to EI Paso far to the southwest. This wedge of living evangels, who with their helpers occupy every sali- ent post for gospel conquest on the border, are piercing deep with the two-edged sword of God's Word as they win converts to Christ daily. The Word is truly two-edged as it- is wielded by these missionaries, for it cuts two ways into the heart of blighted Catholicism. preached Word is winning many to Christ on the-border; indirectly, the influence and testimony of these who have been won, as they go back to Mexico, win many others. As a source of reenforcement, two fortresses at either prong of this wedge on the border send forth fresh troops continually to strengthen the hands of-the veteran Jflghters, One jt El Pasp, Anglo-Amerigan Institute, They are " t But the con- Editor McConnell of the Texas Baptist Standard says: "The deacons in all of our churches ought to take this matter of Service Annuity (Age Security) up with their pastors and churches at once and get it going.

In a recent copy of the "Wall Street Journal" of New York Gity,-appears this-paragraph:î!What America needs more than railway^' tenslon, western irrigation, a low tariff, a bigger cotton crop, and a larger wheat crop, is a revival of religion, the kind that father and mother, used . to'- have.

So we hear one call for a revival of "moral conscience." Another voice bids for "conviction of Sin."' One more says, "We must expect to be different from the world, if we are to lead the world." Another asserts that "spiritual power is lacking." One unexpected voice pleads for ."that religious experience- which -Madfr-the-<-family into a unit, and expresses itself in church affilia- tion and faithful adherence to the church's program of service through her varied agencies." "The world economic crisis of recent years has presented a challenge to the Christian chUrch and the Christian religion. The church faces heavy obligations which it is unable to meet. In conse- quence there are 'critics who insist that the church has been so unethical In its dealings that thousands of people have lost confidence In It; it is insisted that it will be a generation before the church can recover its standing in the business community.

The church's ministry is to human souls, and it has had to stand by helplessly before soul trag- edies. It has rendered a great service and it has helped thousands of people, but there are thousands of others whom it has not been able to reach. How difficult is the position of the minister who has seep his church program curtailed for lack of funds, who needs money so much to carry on hia work and to help some unfortunates, and who .at the same time looks out on this vast army of the unemployed, begging him to do something, to , put them to work or to prevent any future calamity like this!" So writes Dr. Ivan Lee Holt in "The Search for a New Strategy In Protestantism." One also hears a generalization that the church is failing to function in her opportunity and task of reaching and molding the, lives of our children and young people for God. IV. What Are Some of the Probable Causes for . the Failure That Is Charged and What Is the Possible Cure? It may be well to ask for a definition of the true church at this point. The true church is a distinct people, (a) because each individual 1" that company, being born again, enters the King- dom of God (John 3:5) and is destined to be conformed to the image of Christ <Romans 8: Ml- (b) They are no longer In Adam, partaking of the ruin of the old creation (H.

We may" also couple wi» this fact a conception of the present divine Pur- pose in the world. -^lihree^maJor characterM^ mentioned by our Lord,, in. this age of grace, .on8 | r-the gathering out of the children of the Kin^g the way out of the spiritual and moral depres- sion from which men have not come forth, as they have ascended from the depths Into which they had sunk in relation to material things. ~Bhe is placing emphasis upon the pricelessness of human personality as men wander about dazed, discouraged, and bewildered, and she throws a beacon light on the pathway of conduct, telling men thereby that the way to become like God Is through Christ, casting one's-self upbn Him in view of His completed work at Calvary, and growing lnta His likeness, who went about "doing good." The church cries out against the ex- ploitation of the poor and the weak for selfish ends. However, the exploiter often shuts his ears to her charge against him or defies her to do anything about it, while the exploited, still more often, cannot hear her wooing voice, when he lies crushed and broken in the present economic order, built upon a pagan foundation and sustained by pagan economic principles. Through such men as Kagawa of Japan , we get an illustration, of all active seeking to help the poor and weak, even as Christ did. She speaks again against the ruthlessness of a "totalitarian state" through the unterrifled, em- battled pastors in the evangelical pulpits in Ger- many. In reply, however, the announcement from the government comes of plans for the more complete organization of all youth, from ten years up, In societies which are to dominate their training in every particular, to the exclusion of all. religious organization, whether Protestant or Catholic. These are two aspects of the technique of the totalitarian state in its effort to secure complete solidarity : first, coerce and restrain the behavior of adults ; second, mold the minds of youth into the official pattern. 4. Surely the church has, with varied degrees of diligence, sought to let her light shine "unto the Uttermost parts of the earth." Intrepid, inspired souls, like Carey, Judson, Livingstone, Rice, and others, have lifted the torch high, and multi- tudes have been born into the Kingdom, yea, they have been "added-unto the-chureh--by—the-Lord- As her handmaidens in declaring the unsearch- able riches of Christ, the church has brought to the world her educational processes leading to the production of rich, full Christian character, and her benevolent, healing touch in the Master's Name, in the establishment of schools and hos- pitals. Marvelous have been the "doings of the Lord" before our eyes. —JUL Jto-What Wayjs^hj^hurch Failing to Function Today? We hear voices of criticism, and voices expressing a deep sense of need that the church might fill, if she would catch the vision and respond to her responsibilities. Let us hear a few of these voices. Governor Alfred M. Landon, of Kansas, addressing the convention of the National Federa- tion of Men's Bible Classes at Kansas City, Mo., in May, 1936, said: "A revival of moral conscience Is America's need. very real thing we call the spirit of America may be found In the Bible. It Is the grouping of human thought toward the value of human personality and toward the one God in whose sight all men are equal. If we put into practice our religious training and maintain the constitutional quarantee of religious freedom, we can build a finer civilization than the world yet has known. If we disregard these principles, history will add America to its long list of nations that have failed." Dr. Charles B. Jefferson, honorary minister of the Broadway Tabernacle,, New York City, said : "The church is curing a few headaches, reducing several fevers, and healing some lameness; it is serving coffee and sandwiches to the poor and suffering; but it is doing NO mighty work. Thinking of God as a glorified Rotarian will never create a disturbance in the human conscience. Until a man has come to an evangelical experience of the conviction of SIN, all other doctrines are tinkling brass and sounding cymbals," Mr. Roger ,W. Babson, addressing the Conven- tion of the Congregatlon-ChrWiljSB pn^'The"Effec- tive Church," said: "Declining interest In church work is largely due to laymen who 'pretend to run the churches,' and to a declining birth rate.

This subject stirs our thought today. It im- plies that the church is functioning, but thrusts before us the query whether it is doing its work properly or not. In view of the question thus presented, let us consider first what we conceive the function of the church to be. This statement, with slight revision to suit our present purpose, is taken from "Baptists at Work Together" by M. A. Huggins.—A. W. Fleischmann. 1. The Church's Function It has been said, "(1) That the church exists to enrich the lives of its members, because spiritual growth is impossible apart from com- munion with God and contact with other like- minded and like-spirited human beings. church exists to win those unattached to CHRIST, which suggests a deeper and fuller relationship with Christ than mere membership in an organization. (3) As the "social incarnation" of Christ in the world , the1 church MUST stand for certain principles and against certain practices. V. (2) The It must stand for (a) the idea that only spiritual values are permanent , and as such constitute our ultimate wealth. idea that human personality is priceless,, the— most valuable possession in the universe, (c) The idea that freedom , religious , political , and economic, are God-given rights and must be secured and preserved, idea that God desires a "new earth" and that under the guidance, and through the power of His Spirit , it will- be accomplished in harmony with His Kingdom purposes. . The church must therefore stand against (a) all those agencies in society which would exploit the poor and th» weak for selfish ends, and must seek actively to help them , as Christ did. (b) All those agencies and practice*-which tend to prevent man 's full de- _Y_e]pjraentt_.j3Uch as the liquor traffic, gambling in varied forms , indecent movies, etc. (c) It must take its stand against war as being wholly at variance with the mind and spirit of Christ, (d) It must stand against irreligion and all of its moral implications. And (e) finally, the church must stand against hypocrisy and injustice , wherever it shows itself. (b) The (d) The (4 ) The church exists for the purpose of letting the light committed to it shine to the ends of the earth. It must be actively missionary. In order properly to function and fulfill its purpose in the earth while her Lord is absent , let us see two important facts, stated by Dr. J. B. Lawrence as follows : (a) "The primary unit of force in the Kingdom of God is the saved individual ," and (b) "the primary unit of organization and cooperation in Kingdom undertakings is the individual church." II. The Church Is Functioning Today to the Following Extent: In an analysis of the church at work today, I believe the following evidences may be found of activities resulting from dedicated service in Christ' s name. 1. The church, today, does seek to enrich, the lives of her members by several means, namely: (a) its program of worship where by means of music , the reverent and meaningful reading of the Scriptures, prayer together, the assembled congregations are led to shut out the world and to draw near to God, while through the agency of thoughtfully prepared messages from His word the lives of the worshippers are challenged to pursue a manner of conduct that is more fully conformed to the purposes of Christ. Further enrichment is secured by means of varied forms of devotional exercise, e.g., the development of the habits of dally prayer and reading of the Scriptures, and by placing into the Christian's hands devotional literature, tracts, pamphlets, magazines, books. Another means of enriching the lives of her members is offered in the opportunities presented by the' church, through which they may actively serve in Christ's name and by His power. (2) The chnrch today does seek to win the . unattached or unsaved to Christ.. . . Changed, methods are in operation in this phase of her task, but the central emphasisi Is alwaysi upon" the individual presentation of the claims of the Lord Jesus to another. evangelism" are still in operation, and we also use, most successfully, the Sunday school as an important evangelizing agency. . . .3. The voice of the church Is lifted today in - the midst of the -present social order.- She seeks - to point to the permanency of spiritual values d amid the crash of material things, and to point - This intangible yet Some types of "mass By s0 :''^-''K'- \ ^}':-'"--'i-iJ:-'A-.:'-.:':

dom—constitutes the supreme purpose of -God. Hence" the practical bearing of this fact is that, In this present age,, never is ^he individual believer (much less the church), appointed of God t0 a world-improvement program solely; .but the believer is called to be a witness in all the world to Christ and His saving grace, and through this ministry of Gospel preaching the Spirit of God wiU accomplish the supreme divine purpose in this age. The child of God is commissioned to be instant in season and out of season in his efforts to win the lost. This ministry rests upon gvery believer alike and may be exercised in three different ways-: <1> The Gospel may be presented to the unsaved through the sacrificial gifts of In- dividu al Christians; ^2) it may also be presented in answer to prayer; and (3) the Gospel may especially be brought to the attention of the unsaved by word of mouth. Some of the probable causes of the failures that are charged against the church may be due to the fact that the church has within her membership the "unregenerate." This fact produces a condition comparable to the experience of Israel when on her journey from Egypt to the promised land she was plagued by the "mixed multitude," who were with them, but not of them. The heart allegiance of this "excess human baggage" was still in Egypt and' they looked to the pagan gods they had left behind. Such influence in the midst of God's people, was deeidedly_detrimental, and caused many a failure to remain true to the Lord, their deliverer. Another probable cause of failure is the lack of dedicated lives in the midst of the church, i.e., Christians who" have "separated Christ, as Lord" in their hearts. It is a lack of undivided allegiance to the . Mastership of Jesus in their lives. Again we see a blight upon the church in lives of her members who are "carnal" Instead of being such a character as those of whom Paul writes to aid the weaker brothers, and Is able to describe them as "ye which are spiritual." These people produce a lack of power with men and with God. Some possible curves that will materially aid the church to function in the world today In a manneTmore completely In harmony wftHTfie "wilt of the Lord , the head of the Body may be considered. First among possible cures Is "A new consecra- tion to God." This is the cure pre-eminent" that is voiced on all sides, and appears to be the key- stone to every suggested arch that could be con- structed. Another cure is a "renewed vision of our world task." Before us stretches unlimited opportune ties to send the message of "the Saviour of the World ," the only one capable of meeting the world's heartaches and healing the bruised and broken in spirit. Still another cure might be found in a stronger emphasis upon discipleship and consequent stewardship in the, thinking aria, living of the Indi- vidual members^of the church. Yet another cure is to be found in that the world needs "prophets of God," prophets of religion. It needs men who can stand forth and declare Christ's .tenth at any cost, even unto death. ~"' If the people will not come to the church., the church must go to the people, and go in a personal heart-to-heart way. conceptions or no conceptions at all of the "church and its work, it Is up to the church people to correct the misconception. through gradual, thoughtful, personal methods of approach. The Gospel is always new and adap- tive. Men can never be Gospel-hardened, although they may be, and often are, method- r-ardened. The church must keep the Gospel new and fresh in the minds of men. Today challenges the church to dare to pioneer in new methods of approach to the people, and to offer to them her treasure, the blessed Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. She may have to experiment, but even along the path of trial and error, she. must dare to find ways by which Jesus Christ may be introduced to men and to influence the-society of which she. is a .part for righteousness, and- to lead men to God. ^That is °er distinctive missipn, . THE NORTH CAROLINA MISSIONARY QUARTET he wanted to get well that he might preach and teach some more. When one was asked to speak at his funeral, the verse which came to mind at onca was Revela-; flops 14; 13:. "And I heard, a yqice^from heaven saying, Write, blessed'are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit, they rest from their labors; for. their works follow with them." The man fitted the text and the text fitted the man. It was easy to preach under such circumstances. Brother Bryan was born October 14, 1855, and will soon be eighty-one, the oldest one of the., quafteir TWhat CWt^ngscalrW say aboUTTtfiriT" First, we can say that he is tough. We might say, the survival of the toughest; the oldest, but seemingly the strongest physically. We leave others to say how useful he has been. His daughter, Miss F. Catherine Bryan, has just finished writing the story of his life and has given it to the Foreign Mission^Roard-;to use-in any way they choose to help the cause so dear to his heart, and for which he has labored fifty-one years. Let us say a second thing.about him! Of his eighty-one years, each succeeding year has been his happiest. He is old, tough, and happy. The quartet for nearly forty-eight years worked with other missionaries and with the Chinese Christians and with God to accomplish the following growth in our Central China Mission. When the-quartet began work, January. l^.lM9a the mission had one acre of land. Now there are one hundred acres with an equal increase in the number of needed houses. There were then seven missionaries; now there are sixty-three. four churches, now forty. members, now five thousand. school, now forty-three with three thousand three hundred and sixty students. Then no women's societies, now twenty-one, with five hundred and fourteen members. Then no young people's societies, now thirty-five with eight hundred and four members. Then no schools, now twenty-one with five thousand students. Have they failed ? ¦ ; K\ By R. T. Bryan Who were they? D. W. Herring, R. T. Bryan, E. F. Tatum, and T. C. Britton. We are not at this time writing about their good .wives. Herring and Bryan landed in Shanghai to be welcomed by Dr. and Mrs. Matthew T. Yates on January 10, 1886. Tatum and Britton arrived on December 31, 1888. The quartet then was born December 31, 1888, and died on July 27 , 1936, when Brother Britton left us for heaven. The quartet was nearly forty- eight years old. Three of us are still living,, but three are not a quartet. Only one, Brother Tatum, could sing well, but music is harmony, and we four came to preach the gospel of harmony, and to put music into lives, to be manifested by love for God and man. In this short article let us give the birthdays and two special characteristics about each one. Brother Herring was born July 13, 1858, and last month reached his seventy-eighth birthday. He lived in China, where age is honorable, long enough not to mind our telling how old he is now. He is a great preacher, one who knows how to put on the "rousements."' When be graduated from the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville he.was chosen by our class to be one of the few special speakers, arid we all were pleased with Our representative. He loves to preach and gave his China life wholly to preaching the Gospel with power and effect. He was asked years ago to hold a meeting in our Yangchow Station. Among the many baptisms there were two, one a young Chinese gentleman who was a college graduate and a Presbyterian, the other his educated and gifted wife, the daughter of the pastor of the Presbyterian church in Shanghai. They were then employed by the Chinese government to conduct the modern post . office in Yangchow. They later returned to Shanghai for a better position in China's greatest publishing house. Efforts were made to persuade thenrto return to the-presbyterianr-chuTcirr ^They-- are still leading members in our Grace Baptist Church in Shanghai, which they joined by letters when they returned to Shanghai. preacher had done a permanent work.

Brother Tatum, the beloved peace-maker, was born April 26, 185 9, now seventy-seven years old. It was our privilege to have him as colaborer in Shanghai for many years and he was and still Is our friend as well as brother. We two by nature are qulte dlfferent. We have needed-each other. We have talked and prayed together over our many mission problems. We owe much of what we are and have done to our beloved Friend— Brother Tatum. Some people greatly emphasize what they themselves do and sometimes hinder others. Brother Tatum has tried never to hinder anyone. would join us in calling him a great helper. When he moved to Yangchow, where he now lives, we greatly missed him. Brother Britton-was- born—August-25, 1862, nearly seventy-four years old when on July 27 , he moved up to heaven. He was the youngest of our quartet, which died with him. It is natural to wonder why our loving Father took the youngest of us four first. Was It because he graduated first in this school below, got his diploma in heaven-readiness, and arrived at his commence- ment of the happy eternal life beyond the river Jordan? "it takes a longer time for some of us to prepare for heaven's service. Brother Britton was a preacher and Bible teacher. He believed and loved the Gospel, and his delight was to live it and teach it. He was also a great personal worker. He prepared his sermons and Bible lessons very carefully and thoroughly, prayed them into his own hearl and then they just easily and naturally flowed out of him and into his hearers. We remember hearing him preach a great sermon at one of our annual associations. Never have we since that day seen an audience more deeply stirred and moved.

The executive secretary will bring his report and recommendations to the Board on the first day. Another important feature will be the appearance of twelve new prospective missionaries before the Board for examination and consideration for appointment. Of those who may prove to be eligible for appointment, the Board will send this year only those whose salaries and travelling expenses have been taken care of by-special gifts so designated when the. cash was sent in to the Board. The public is invited to the First Baptist Church for the special Wednesday afternoon service introducing these new appointees. Blanche Sydnor White, Woman 's Missionary Union Corresponding Secretary of Virginia, will , have charge of this hour. At 9:30 Thursday morning, October 22 , the second day's docket of business will be considered by the Board. The budget and plans for erasing the debt will claim the emphasis.

There Is the demand for men's implicit trust and obedience (Mark 8:34). There is -the '%- claim to be "greater than the temple," "greater than Solomon" (Matt. 12:6, 42). .. There is the story—most autobiographical of all the parables—about the rebel husband- men, with Its central words, "I will fiend My beloved Son" (Luke 20:9ff.). "Surely, says Professor J. A. Robertson, "In Him who thus dares to put upon the lips of God such words about Himself the confidence in His own consciousness of Sonship is complete." But over and above these specific references, the Gospels set before us One whose conscious — authority is unparalled, whose moral perfec- tion is dimmed by no faintest shadow of sin, whose will Is God's will, whose very presence is salvation. This is Jesus' own tremendous claim. With Jesus making such claim.- oJLJHis_..Qwn_ divinity, Paul in all his letters teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, that "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" (Col. 2:9). The preacher of today will make no mistake in being as ready as Paul to proclaim the divinity of Jesus; if the preacher does this he will have a message that, like Paul's, is vital and powerful. who came bringing the good tidings ol great Joy; the adoration of the Magi; the offering in the Temple and the burst of gratitude of those aged servants ol the Lord, Simeon and Anna; the flight into Egypt; and twelve years later the search of the anxious parents which ends in finding the young Jesus in the temple to their amazement sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions. It is only natural that the world's greatest painters have dwelt on these, scenes and. found them both subjects and inspiration for masterpieces; it is no wonder that these stories have furnished to the world's greatest poets, such as Milton , themes for rhapsodic outbursts of song. It is in contemplating Jesus In His public ministry, however, that the Christian finds -his highest joy; the baptism, with the Spirit descending as dove and abiding m>on him ; the triumph at the Temptation and the angels ministering unto Him; the Sermon on the Mount; the parables ; the talk with the woman of Samaria at Sychar 's well; the restoring of her son to the widow of Nain; the feeding of the five thousand on the mountain side; the Triumphal Entry, the Last Supper ; the trial before Pilate; the way to Cal- vary ; the last hours on the cross; the burial and the resurrection; the final appearances to His disciples ; the great commission, Jesus speaking, healing, dying, rising again. Behold and see if there be any joy like to the Christian's joy in his Saviour.- Has he not heard His gracious words? "The Son of man Is come to seek and to save that which was lost," and "Tae Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister , and to give Hfs life a ransom for many."

And Paul says (Rom. 5:10), "For if , when we were enemies, we were reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." These two verses teach a great truth which is implicit in the Gos- pels. This truth is that the life, pf, Jesus, in the likeness of sinful flesh, was as essential to our salvation as His death on the cross, that both are indispensable. The death of Jesus does indeed introduce us to the Christian life by reconciling us to God, but-we need the life of Jesus-with-Ris- words and example to save us from our sinful selves and bring us to the full stature of men and women in Christ Jesus. "We shall be saved by His life." these words mean? Do they not mean that with reconciliation and regeneration the life of the "Christian, has Just begun? Jesus after which to pattern our lives, we should inevitably go astray. But Jesus has lived and shown how those with the blessed hope may live close to their heavenly Father. tion saves' us from eternal banishment from God's presence, but we need to be saved from our sins, and it is from these that we are sa\*ed by the life of Christ, "the only life of pure, unselfish, cleans- ing, everlasting love the world has ever seen," We need to be built up in our most holy faith, and the one way for this is to follow the example of Jesus and to obey His words in sermon and parable and admonition. teacher who would preach and teach the full Gos- pel must indeed , like his Master , call men to repentance and newness of life, but he must also not neglect to preach all things that He com- manded and constantly bring to the contemplation of his hearers that beautiful and perfect life of the Master. Because He lived the sinless life, we also are encouraged to aspire-to-such a life, to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect, to be saved from the sins which our flesh has inherited. "We shall be saved by His life." Yes, but only if we dwell "In His redeeming love, and strive His works to do." - THE DIVINITY OF JESUS What do Two or three years ago Dv, Harry Emerson Fosdick made the statement that Christ was not (o be worshipped , the implication being that He was not divine in the fullest sense. That statement was promptly challenged and refuted by Dr. A. T. Robertson. There was nothing new in "Drrôsdick's statement; it was implied in the words of Jesus' fellow townsmen of Nazareth when, even though they wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth, began to say, "Is not this Joseph's son?" It is a peren- nial error, this denying that Christ was divine , the Son of God. There have been critics in all ages who have said that Christ was not divine, that the world owes the idea that He was the Son of God to Paul, and that Jesus never intended to claim divinity for himself. Even an unlearned reader who knows his Gospels could show that such a theory is false; it has often been refuted by scholars, one of the most recent refutations being that of Rev. James S. Stewart in a volume called "A Man in Christ," of which one paragraph is sufficient to show that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. It reads: Without the life of The reconcilia- The preacher • arid JESUS ( "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear." It is with rapture that the Chris- tian thinks of Jesus. Day and night he finds his chief pleasure in meditating on Him and all that concerns Him. How every noble affection of his ' soul is warmed and quickened as he reads in Luke: "And the virgin's name was Mary. . . . And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also. thaiJipiy_ thlng which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." With such contemplation our hearts rise with something of Mary's ecstasy as she sings the rapturous verses of the Magnificat, * "My soul doth magnify the Lord." And so it is with the stories of the birth of our Lord. _How we like to dwell on them all: the babe In the manger; the shepherds and the angels " Lake has recently revived the notion that the Jeans of the Gospels never Intended to claim for Himself Messianic rights or divine Sonship, and that it was the error of His too enthusiastic followers and apostles which clothed Him with that dignity. All that can be said about this theory is that every page of the Gospels discredits It. that. Jesus believed Himself to have cdrne forth from the very bosom of God is based on something more fundamental than isolated passages. Such passages Indeed abound and their cumulative effect is great. There is the —famou*Mieclaration, "All things are delivered unto Me of my father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father" (Matt. 11:27). There IS the prophetic manifesto at the opening of the ministry, clinched by the words, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears" (Luke .4:21). There is assumption of power to forgive sins (Mark 2:5ff.). There jjLthe-'rejily to the baptist's question about TÔne tn^"~shourdôme 'r~<Malt: liJSffTy. Our certainty THE DEATH OF JESUS For our reconciliation to God, the death of Jesus was necessary. teaches anything it teaches that. Let theologians explain it as they may; the Son of man, to use His own words, came to give His life a ransom for many, and He did it. Our Good Shepherd laid down His life for his sheep. The entrance to the way of salvation for every one of us is bj the cross. Accordingly, Paul, preaching in a pagan world, determined to know nothing among those pagan people~but Christ and Him^rucifled; If the New Testament

Pagans ancient and modern, in both so-called Christian and~~itt pagan countries, need to be taught that "God vtfommendeth His love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," that "He was delivered for our offences." Paul taught and believed this with all his soul, and he said some things which have been the undoing of cavilers through all the ages, such as, • Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; whom God hath set forth, to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his-righteousness for .the remission of sins that are past, through the for- bearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be Just and the justifler of him which belleveth In Jesus." Of course, in this great declaration Paul was only speaking in accord with the tenor of the whole New Testament. It is in vain that men try to hold to the teachings of the inspired Word and yet deny the truth so plainly taught in it. Those critics who do so only befuddle themselves and their readers and make the New Testament an enigmatical book. But His Word becomes a light for our feet indeed If we follow its obvious -teaciringsv- -With reference —to—this, Hastings, "Great Texts of the Bible," xx. 167, has said: "There are some today to whom the New Testa- ment is a sealed book. Epistles in the light of that death to f sin, and every word and deed is translated. . . . All the riches of grace in sermon and parable and miracle stand out as the life story that leads to the Cross. It is the Lamb that was slain that unfolds, inter- prets , and expounds the New Testament." In an article above we recognized that the teacher and preacher must not neglect the life of Christ. The danger of the present day is that our preachers and teachers will neglect to preach and teach about the death of Christ. them avoid the way of the Cross. In their sermons at least they never survey the wondrous Cross on which the Prince of Glory died. A few years ago there was talk about the purpose of a great denomination to-take out of their hymn!': books hymns that mentioned the blood of Christ. To the glory of the preachers of that denomination who had been calling men to salvation, they revolted , and that .purpose was given up. But in these days when many cannot endure sound doctrine it is said that there are preachers who accommodate their messages to them, never men- tioning "redemption through His blood," nor "propitiation through faith in His blood," nor preaching the crucified Christ, nor pointing the lost to the only. entrance to the way of Christian life. How far they have departed from Paul! Like Paul , the true herald erf salvation glories in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ ; he is not ashamed of the full Gospel of Christ. the risen Lord? For Paul and for the other New Testament Christians, Christ only began? to.live after His resurrection. He was their living Lord; though many of them had not seen Him with their eyes, they had. the evidence of the Apostles and others and those five hundred who at one time had seen Him, after he had risen. Those who want a good but brief statement of the way modern Biblical scholars view the matter should consult Broadus's "Commentary on Matthew," p. 588f., from which is quoted the following words of Westcott, one of-the world's great-New Testament scholars: "Taking all the evidence together, it is not too much to say that there is no single hlstpric incident better or more variously supported than, the Resurrection of Christ." As for us, as for Paul and the Corinithian Christians, the fact of the Resurrection Is beyonof argument. We rejoice In it. We know not the gloom of life of those who cry: "Now he is dead. Far hence he lies in that lorn Syrian town." Sunday after Sunday for nearly two thousand years we have celebrated the day He left the tomb empty. And we have another way of pro- claiming His resurrection to the world, that which Paul tells of* even- our-baptism.—"Know--ye-nofc,-'' says Paul, "that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus. Christ were baptized into his death. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism unto death; that lite as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, iven so we should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also In the likeness of His resurrection." At times as we think of our risen Lord there rises in our heart joy like unto that of the women to whom as they looked into the empty tomb the angel said: "He Is not here; for He is risen as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay." field, except tor a very few brilliant plays and a few very bad errors, had1 Httlejto1do.

St At Catholics Plan Revision of New Testament — Report comes that the Catholics of America are planning a revision of their translation of the New Testament. This Is known as the Douai-Rheims edition of the New Testament In English. It was first published in 1582 and was revised in 1749. The revision has been entrusted to a committee of —twenty Catholic theologians. The purpose is To rid the present texts of obsolete forms, but care will be taken "to repeat as accurately as possible the sense, of the original text." One announcement in connection with the proposed revision will show how utterly different Catholics are from Protestants in this matter of giving the Bible to the world: it is said that in making the revision the committee will use only the Latin Vulgate from which the original Rheims Testament was translated. The Vulgate Was made by Jerome about the year 400, A.D. Jerome made his translation from Greek manuscripts. It was a good translation, but no better than the Greek manuscripts that the translator used. time through the studies of scholars great improvement has been made in improving the text of the Greek manuscripts and many new manuscripts have been discovered. But the Catholics refuse to profit by them. Vulgate even though they know that in many cases its readings are wrong. The really distressing thing about the Rheims New Testament, however, is that the Catholic hierarchy has discouraged rather than encouraged their adherents in reading it. It is still true that the Catholics even in this land of religious liberty do not generally read the Bible , often being led to believe that to do so would be sin. Certainly it is sin, so Catholics are taught to believe, to read any version but their own, with the many annotations to keep the reader from depart- ing from Catholic doctrine. version is like may be seen in,the following verses from it: ll Read the Gospels and Since his Many of They still use the ttfn ft£|brE= 1 _gUj^g^ TOPICS^ I 11 i Justice to Fanners and Home-Owners — Dr. Clarence Poe is to be commended for the zeal with which he is pressing the adoption of the new constitutional amendment to make it possible for the Legislature to give owners of homes both in the cities and on our farms a partial exemption from taxes. The amendment- provides for an exemption of as much as $1,000, but leaves it In (he power of the Legislature to make much smaller exemption, say $250, the same of course for homes of all values. This amendment is Dr. Poe's own creation, and it was one of the few good things about the proposed constitution Which was opposed with such vigor by our people. We should like to see this amendment adopted ; It will benefit just a class of people we should like to see benefited, small farmers and young people who are trying to have a home. And it is only just. Under our present law exemptions may be made on personal property and many tax-payers make other exemptions on It for themselves by failing to list many xrf their personal effects; but in the case of real estate, there is no escape; a set of appraisers fixes Its tax value, and on that the owner has to pay. We recommend this amendment to our readers as well worthy of their support and votes on election day. ¦ i it The World Series — The World Series, that greatest of all annual athletic events In the United States, has come and gone. It was the New York Giants against the New York Yanks; and as both teams were from the same town, all of us on the outside had expected to be entirely neutral and just enjoy the games. But It was not so; an in- tense partisanship developed all over the country and In North Carolina no less than in other sections, as the radio announcements of the games came in. What fools we mortals be, we American mortals, nearly every one among us. Many lost sleep on account of the games, leaving off their afternoon nap. _ W.elL.It. wasja_faix_serles,_ but_theJBlayJng.was different and less interesting than In the games of the last three or four world series. The reason we think for this Inferior Interest is that this last series was mostly the business of the batters, the pitchers and-catcheiBr and. the outfield.

Yet, we are peffectly content that the Communists should have their candidate for Presi- dent of these United States and that that candidate should speak as often as he can get a hearing, so long as he does not advise the cutting of our throats or otherwise breaking the peace. Accord- ingly, we shared the general indignation of the country when the chief of police in Terre Haute, Indiana, arrested and put in jail Earl Browder, the Communist candidate for President. The purpose of the arrest according to the officer was to "thwart Communism.'.' He disregarded the fact that Browder, as Communist candidate, had com- plied with the requirements of the law to the same extent as the candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties, and the further fact that in two-thirds of the states the names of electors for him have been put on the official ballots. The officer vested with a little brief authority, and, If "is said, with the consent of the mayor of Terre Haute, put Mr. Browder in jail and kept him there, and thus prevented,his meeting his appointment to speak. With reference to this action, so (Continued on page 10) . THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS (3* See Paul's declaration about the resurrection of Jesus: If Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain , and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ. . . . And if Christ be not risen? your ' faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. But now is. Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. it Paul is thus emphatic, not because he was doubtful or that he considered thoseOo.whom he was writing doubtful of the resurrection. His main purpose in hjs argument Just here was to assure those-early- Gorihthlan.Christians that_they were as certain of being resurrected from the dead as they were certain that Jesus had been so resurrected.

The ministry at Thessalonica emphasized the study of the Lord's Book on the Lord's Day. The scrutiny of the Scriptures.by the devout Bereans illustrates and em- phasizes the study of the Bible day by day. These two examples ought to be followed ~by every church and every Christian. We ought to allow plenty of time and the best time for the study of the Word of God. (3) The Place for Study. synagogue of the Jews—house of Jason." The synagogue was the ! house of instruction with the Old Testament as the textbook. Paul be- | -gan his work in the^synagogne. Our , churches today ought to make large place and room for Bible study. But also we ought to study the Bible in our homes. No doubt the house of Jason afforded opportunity for Paul and his associates to teach the truth as it is in Jesus. Today, the church and the home are the primal agencies for Bible study. (4) The Theme of Study. "It be- hooved the Christ to suffer—this Jesus . . . is the Christ." fingerboard of prophecy pointed directly to him. And he was foreseen as the great sufferer for the sins of men. That alone brought him down from above. The Word has become flesh in the person of Jesus of Naza- reth. And Paul affirms that Jesus is the Christ. That message embodied the message Of his ministry. That is the theme of the Bible. (5) The Verification by Study. "Examining the scriptures daily, - whether these things were su." Paut- commended the Bereans for testing his doctrine by diligent search ot the Scriptures.

Herndon, Gastonia, the State Approved Worker, to promote this division of the Sunday school , marked progress should be noted during the year.

We can ill afford longer to be without this potentially great department in our Sunday schools." This same decision will come to many if the new textbook, "The Ex- tension Department of the Sunday School." by Joseph T. Watts, extensively revised' this summer and soon to be released from the press, is included in the fall training schools in all the churches, whether such a department is in existence or not.

Candle-light Meeting This is especially good for juniors^ Each junior on-the program Is given a candle. As soon as he has rendered his part . on the program, he lights his candle and takes tils seat. As soon as enough, candles are lighted to furnish sufficient light for the room, the electric lights are turned out. In the candle-light the leader gives his talk. The atmosphere in a candle-light meeting may be made very sacred if the leader is-tactfuL 6. Sealed Orders Instead of assigning parts to the members of a group as usual, ask the whole group to learn every part.

We should place our emphasis where it belongs—on the adults, for these reasons: "1. Our foundation and our lead- .ers are the adults. Let us make the foundation solid and firm by building with mature men and women, by training them. This is the foundation of all our work—the leaders. The strength of our Training Union can be measured by our adults. Can they lead If they are not informed --and_irainad2-^_If j>ur_Jeaders_da not_ have a vision, we perish. '',2. If we enlist our leaders—our adults—we do many things. through them, set the right example. They influence the young people, who are to follow In their footsteps. "3. We forever destroy, as our great Christian leaders tell us, that old adage, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks.' "I. ItT brings "the entire farnllyTo- -,Kethe.r to the church, for the Traln- ing Union hour, and keeps them for the evening preaching service, for where the father and mother go, the children usually follow. This is especially true when they have only one car in the family. "5. We Invariably find that those who are members and regularly attend the B. A. U. are more sympa- thetic and understanding of young people and their work than Is the case' with those that are not In- terested in the B. A. U. In turn , the young people attach more-importance and significance to activities in which*? the adults are sufficiently interested to give of their time and efforts, so their own work takes on a new Im- portance in their eyes, making the B. A. U. a mutually helpful organization in that respect." • * VARIETY IN PROGRAMS From time to time I shall run suggestions for variety in program planning. The following were taken from "Fifty-two Varieties of Programs," . by Gardner: 1. In the Shadow of the Cross This, plan was used for an inter- mediate program of a devotional nature. A light wooden cross about four feet high was nailed on a wooden base and placed In the B. Y. P. U. room. Behind the cross was a strong light which cast the shadows of the cross on the floor. the room were turned out. Those on the program stood in the shadow of the cross as the parts were given. 2. Magic Lantern One leader uses a tiny magic lantern to display maps and pictures of mission fields. An ordinary sheet Is placed on the wall and the pictures thrown upon this improvised screen by the magic lantern. Maps and pictures _cut from Home and Foreign Fields and other sources may be used to add interest to the missionary programs. 3. Campnre Meeting This Is good for a missionary or devotional meeting. In the center of the meeting room, arrange a minia- ture campflre. The fire is made by an electric light or an oil lantern, covered with yellow and red paper, and surrounded by sticks of wood. . When the meeting begins, turn out all other lights. Have the whole program from memory—songs, scripture readings, and parts on the program. 4. Conversational Program. Instead of having the group cap- ~taTfannFunce ~tm3"parts In the usual way, let those on the program sit around a table as it they were just visiting each other. Some of the members may ask questions. In re- sponse to the questions the parts on BAPTIST TltAirWNG UNION "Study to ihow thvttlf approvtd unto God, a workman that tusedeth not to bo athavUd , righttu dividing the word of truth."—II TEMOTHT 2:15.

"Even though our Training Union Is the fastest growing organization in our great Southern Baptist denomination, or any other denomination for that matter, we really started at this work at the wrong end, In my opinion. We started with the young people, and, in doing so, we allowed ourselves to get rooted and grounded In the erroneous jdea thai it is only "for the" young people, possessed so many splendid ideas and helps that it did wonders, even before we discovered less than ten years ago that It Is a program in which the adults should take the' lead. ever, since the advent of the adults into this program of training, that progress has been pushed forward at a much more rapid pace, and with - greater—effectiveness—than—ever before. Yes, the adults are coming to -T"ealize^hartHBy~must:traint" not only" ror tneir own usefulness, hut In order that they may train and lead in the training of the young people. "We would like to take up each of the members of that first Train- ing Union and say something about each of them, and what this training In their adult age mean to them and the kingdom work, but we will con- fine our remarks to a few of them. "Peter, who was about thirty years old when he enlisted in that -Training Union, had something to say about training along towards the end of his wonderful life of usefulness in training others. Yes, at the age of seventy-three, the chronol- ogists tell us, he wrote II Peter: 1: 1-4:11, after he had been an active member of a Training Union ror over ' forty years, and could speak with authority, about one. Did he say that —it-wan for the young people ONLY?- Or did he say that we should secure that faith, and then sit down and 'rust out'? "Hardly. He agreed with the Mas- ter Trainer, Jesus, as given by inspiration, through Paul, that 'study to show thyself approved' was intended for all believers—not for just the young folks. "We might think for one brief moment about one other of the earlier members of the Training Union, Paul. Yes, Paul was, they say, about forty-five years old when he took the first step of grace—faith. Although Paul was one of the best educated men of his day, he was not ready to go to work for the Master until he had spent three yearsxjaklng a training course, over in the Arabian Desert near Mt,,..Sinai. "Paul was a brilliant man, as we must all agree, but I. challenge you —to-flnd-one-wwth-wMle~thing-heîd-. during the first thirty-five years of his life. "Sometimes you, like myself , no doubt, marvel at that viewpoint of some of our pastors, and other so- called leaders, who seem to think that we should expect juniors and intermediates not only to train themselves, but actually to lead others of their age in the training work, while the adults stand back and refuse to become leaders or sponsors. think, it would seem, that instead of -Paul training timothy, that Timothy should have trained Paul. "The training of the young people should not be neglecte _dJ_ hui_wJho_ should do the training? think that Paul did a much better, job of training Timothy than Timothy» would have done In training Paul.

IN BUILDING THE TRAINING UNION The following are excerpts taken from an address given in Birming- ham at the Southwlde B. T. U. Con- ference by E. S. McSwain, of Spart- anburg, South Carolina. Swain recently taught in a City-wide Training School in Durham. :—1 1^he-uTst-Training- ^rJn4oBT-wh41e-- Probably not so called, was a Baptist Training Union, and was formed and operated for the purpose of training into the organization of the church, which was organized middle of Christ's, ministry. "Did Jesus select juniors or intermediates for this first Training union? Hardly; His union was made "P of twelve men, besides Himself, wery one of whom was twenty-one Wars old, or older, and most of them âr His own age of thirty years.

It was Saturday afternoon, and they were going to Jean's house to play. Bessie walked with a limp, for she had been very sick when she was a baby, and It left her slightly lame. "Come on," cried Laura. "I'll race you all to Jean's gate." "You and Evelyn race," said Jean quickly. "Bessie -and- -I--will- come along after you. Jean remembered that Bessie could not run a race, and she did not want to leave her alone. . When they reached Jean's house Evelyn said, Let s play hide-and- seek. I'll be It." Jean thought of "Wouldn't you rather play keep- house?" she asked. "I'm sure mother -will givo ua—seme—jelly-sandwiches and milk, and We can have a party." The girls played happily until it was time to go home, but it was Jean who always remembered to play games in which they did not need to run , so that Bessie could play too. She did not think of it, but she was practicing the Golden Rule all afternoon) for she was doing as she would like others to do to her.—Pri- mary Class. the Help Bessie again. * Give me joy — AN ILLUSTRATION OF GREAT FAITH When Hudson Taylor was planning to go to China as a missionary he was asked by a minister how he proposed to go there. The young man replied: "It seems to me probable that I shall need to go as the Twelve and the Seventy did, without purse or script, relying on Him who sends me to supply all my needs." "Ah, my boy," the minister said, "as you grow older you-will become-wÎser-thftB-tharU-Such an idea would do very well in the days when Christ Himself was on earth, but not now." "I have grown older since then, but not wiser," wrote the great missionary. "I am more and more convinced that if we ware to take the directions of our Master and the assurance He gave to His first disciples, more fully as our guide, we should find them just as well suited to our times as to those in which they were originally given." —Ex. *.

There is one aspect of these woflp: conventions worth emphasizing—one who attends finds himself in new and congenial company, and this is n0 small factor. Travel depends In a large measure on what kind of people' you travel with. The development of modern "Tourist Class" accommo- dations serves to group congenial and educated people, such as most of us live among at home, as traveling companions. This not only reduces the cost of travel, but lets the average person, such as you and I, find a company that will be congenial and .agreeable. Another of the interesting features of modern travel Is to find out its safety and convenience. Xo women traveling in small groups it otters safety, and with courtesy and helpfulness everywhere. Such groups no longer are unusual. The world is a better place because, of the groups of school teachers and other women, who by two's, or in small groups, now travel the world around. Hastily spoken words and hastily written letters have left many bleeding wounds in the hearts of loved ones and society, wounds that will never be healed. Take your bad letters from your enemies to the Lord and leave them there for His answer, and you will never go wrong. Always cool off and you will not burn other folks, and suffer burning regrets in your own heart in after years. THE BAPTIST PRESS By G. W. Paschal I Dr. Matthew T. Andrews, who Is now with President Sampey on a tour of the Baptist eastern mission fields , has collected some interesting testimony on the reliability of the book, "Rethinking Missions," in its account of missions in China, some of which he gives in a short article In the Westecn Recorder of October I. ship on which his party went to the Orient, he found about forty foreign missionaries, many of them returning from furloughs in America. Some of them had been forty years in China and had done most successful work as preachers, teachers, and physicians, but not one of them had been consulted by the commission that collected information for "Rethinking Missions." One of them , a distinguished Northern Presbyterian missionary, declared that he was well acquainted with the book and that many things in it were "absolutely untrue ," and that the commissioners got their information "largely from ship captains, government officials, and others such like, who if not out of sympathy with foreign missions were in no position to give first-hand information on the subject." Similar statements were made by a woman, who is a teacher in a Methodist mission and by a woman physician , a Northern Baptist , who has developed amid circumstances most adverse a"' great hospital in China. so far from helping, "Rethinking Missions" is- being used by the enemies of missions against *the missionanes. II A WORLD VIEW OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL On board the By I. J. Van Ness It was a great privilege last summer to be able to attend the World Sunday School Convention at Oslo, Norway. I pass over any attempt to write about the country, though these Northern countries of Europe are well worth writing about. The people in them are our kind of people— steady "Protestant people. Instead, I am venturing to offer a few comments on the World Sunday School Convention, for it is a great conception, this setting forth of the Sunday school—with the open Bible—as one of the forces of religion, the world over. Let it be said at once that this organization is one of the great forces, world forces, for evangelical religion. Its name is attractive, and tells at once of the peculiar place the Sunday school has 4fl evangelical.jreJigifln_. contrasts which will distinguish the Southern Bap- tist conception of the Sunday school , but no one can help being interested in so great an ally as this World Sunday School Convention, for the meeting, and the forces expressing themselveajn^ it , stand outspokenly, for evangelical Bible religion, though the great underlying conception of the Sunday school is as an agency f or "Peaching "little children "; yet the emphasis always was on conversion, the Lordship of Christ, and the Bible. One can find himself in good company where these truths are being promulgated. I came away, however, impressed with far- reaching contrasts which have come to prevail in our Southern Baptist methods'and organization. Doctor AUdredge had advised ate est the fact that • Southern- Baptists had now come to the place of pre-eminence in that its registered church membership had reached 4,200,000 , making us the largest denomination in America, and aside from "state churches," the largest group of free evan- gelicals in the world. Alongside of this, naturally, is the fact that our Sunday school enrolment is the greatest among the evangelical "CttuTctres"crf-the-woFid—- One of the interesting features of the meeting was the presence of a vice president—and as the presiding officer of the closing session—Dr. Henry Allen Boyd , of Nashville, leader of the Negro Baptists who work with the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated). There are two Na- tional Conventions representing the Negro Bap- tists of America, both having their headquarters in Nashville. Together they represent an immense constituency. It was my privilege, with Dr. Frost, to help Dr. Boyd, the father, begin his work as a publisher. The younger Boyd carried himself with dignity and self-respect, and in a modest and helpful way. One of the great pleasures of this meeting was the traveling companions it Introduced us to. On the steamer going over and returning, we had a fine fellowship with Sunday school people from many sections. The next meeting of this Convention, four years from now, is to be in South Africa. A great many of our people should begin to lay by in store for a unique journey to a far away country. It will be easy and cheap to travel, with good people as ^companions, -making- a journey pleasant and useful. I have stood in many denominational relation- ships for direct, denominational leadership; but looking forward to this meeting In 1940, I can see in it an opportunity, not only for a visit to a strange far-off country under most favorable conditions, but an opportunity to carry with us help, not only In fellowship, but In'helping to keep to the forefront -the great Bible simplicities. As one travels, through England and these Northern, countries, he cannot fail to be Impressed with several things. One is the relation of religion to the state. In these Northern countries the Lutherans are. the Matejchurc^jrheretus la Ejiglandjt is the Episcopalians: oount^?es,Ticêvefrthe- effthus|asm~of religion finds expression in some form of Methodism or Wesleyism, while the desire for freedom in local work, and for^the authority of the Bible* develops some form of Baptist life—our Baptist people, without Btate aid, which they everywhere decline must depend on conviction and individual faith- fulness, aêy-honor-ûsby-their faitb^ftliness^ THE S H E P H ER D ' S TENDER CARE General Garibaldi one evening met a Sardinian shepherd lamenting the loss of a Iamb out of his flock. The great-souled Garibaldi at once turned to his staff and announced his intention of scour- ing the mountain in search of the lamb. A grand expedition was organized. The lanterns were brought, and old officers of many campaigns started oft -full oJLzeal. _tp .hunt the fugitive. But no lamb was found and the soldiers were ordereT to their beds. The next morning Garibaldi's servant found him in bed fast asleep. When he was awakened, theTgeneral rtthbed his eyes; and so did the servant, when he saw the old warrior take from under the covering the lost lamb, and direct him to carry it back to the shepherd. The general had kept up the search through the night until he had found it.—Selected. I shall offer later some One of these says that Editor Taylor of the Baptists and Reflector writes against what he calls "Religious Vege- tarianism." While he is willing that one may be a vegetarian if he wants to, the editor maintains that he has no right to impose abstinence from meat as a rule on others , and certainly not as a religious obligation. He quotes much from Paul's writings in support of his' statement. One of his arguments is as follows: To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.— R. L. Stevenson. ' However things may seem, no evil thing is success, and no good thing Is failure.—Samuel Long- fellow. CURRENT TOPICS Paul very definitely says that the vegetarian on religious grounds is "weak" (Romans 14:1, 2). "Another that is weak eateth herbs." Such a man has a "weak conscience," Paul says (I Corinthians 8:8- 12). This means not a conscience that is morally weak , hut one that is weak in growth , maturity, and discernment , a ctuialHn affair. The man who thinks that the eating of meat or not eating it is invested with a moral or spiritual quality is not well rounded and well balanced in spiritual maturity. All these cults, therefore, which propose or impose vegetarianism as having a religious significance are hereby classified. "weak." (Continued from page 7) contrary to the spirit of our people, the New York Times has this to say: "We have laws amply sufficient to protect the public against seditions or violent proceedings. We ought to have enough "common "sense and spirit of fair play~noT~tb con^ demn and penalize peaceful methods of political agitation, even if they aim at setting up a system of government abhorrent to nine-tenths of the American people. It is to be hoped that few of us are ready to submit meekly to the haughty rule of even so majestic an official as the Chief of Police of Terre Haute, Ind." free They are x2 * (3* <3* In closing Dr. Taylor warns his readers that when one comes teaching vegetarianism as a religious tenet that they may know at once that "his system of doctrine is a departure from the faith and is projected by Satanic inspiration." No Dictator Here—Sinclair Lewis is quoted in the New York Times as saying that a dictatorship cannot happen In the United States; we shall have no Communist dictator and no Fascist dictator. We are a more or less hysterical people and have periodically to go through foolish scares, but in a short time we come back to our senses. A year or more ago we heard much of Townsend, and Coughlin, but in the serious. business of a major political campaign both are fast losing their influence. No would-be dictator has made any progress during the last year." The country re- mains democratic. Mr, Lewis does, not see much to choose between Communists and Fascists. A dictator from one group would be as bad as a dictator from the other. He says: Ill Our own beloved Rev. J. T. Riddick has an article in the Western Recorder on "The Man Who Took His Troubles to the Lord." That man was Hezekiah, and his trouble was that letter from the king of Assyria; Hezekiah took it up into the House of the Lord and laid it before Him." Brother Riddick has had experience with letters and he commends Hezekiah's example. In the year o7 the famous"SmItli-TIooTelr"l!a^npaign for the presidency, Riddick wrote a conciliatory letter, as he supposed and intended, for the daily paper of his city ; this letter was generally well received. But, says Brother Riddick; "There was one brother minister who lived In another state who chanced to see my article and who had himself been quite hot and bitter during that never-to-be-forgotten political campaign. After reading my letter he sat down and wrote to me the most sarcastic and condemnatory letter I have ever received. He accused me of almost everything that a coward and a scapegrace could be accused of, things that I and those who know me best knew r was not guilty of." Brother Riddick was away from home holding •- a meeting, but on reading that letter his blood boiled, and he wrote an.answer ,_in Ikind, using language that would make "the fur fly." It was night and he could not mail it, but he left it In the envelope until morning. Then ~h& kindled the fire with that letter he had written. Following the example of Hezekiah, lie had laid it before .—the-LoroV-Brother--Rlddick-CQijclu 'des: -¦ - — . "While the Communists loathe the Fas- cists, their methods are the same. There are the same spies, the same sudden arrests and killings, the same third degrees under one system as under the other. Russia has dem- onstrated that the mass strength of communism provides no escape from dictatorship. Moreover, all dictators follow the same rou- tine of torture. They must all be graduates of the same sadistic school. I am opposed to machine-gun rule irrespective of whether it is carried out by a worthy workman, or a glided general." In alf these B_ut If tne country canjtree Itself from the threat of economic royalists and sucli organizations as the.Liberty League,.and if "the government re- members that men and women are human beings with rights to be preserved and privileges to b« enjoyed," ; It cannot happen here—we shall W no dictator. Most of the talk" of dictatorship I" the past few months is pure political buncombe. ~

Aloof In a time of unexampled intercourse of persons and of groups, of cooperation and widening fellow- ships; in a time when the total and unanimous strength of the Christian powers of the world can be none too confident as they confront the massed evils they are commissioned to suppress, some Christians Insist upon isolation and glory In it as - a mark of fidelity. All the rest, know not the truth or ignore it. They are the divinely appointed depositaries of the truth and sole agents to spread it. To associate themselves in the common Christian task with Christians who hold other views and are called by other names would take the edge off their distinctive witness and embar- rass their protest against error; possibly condone error. An important Southern Baptist official , asked if he had seen a great exhibit of books and apparatus in his field a few blocks away, replied complacently, "I don't trot very well in double harness." Last year the State Convention through its General Board declined off-hand any participa- tion in a movement of North Carolina denomina- tions to attack unitedly liquor , gambling, im- -¦ morality, and other evils which impede and thwart the progress of the Kingdom of Christ. The Southern Baptist Convention suspects the ortho- doxy of the Northern Baptist Convention and is slow to cooperate with it in any common enter- prise. Of course, when the Federal Council of Churches is mentioned it knots up in a haughty isolation. It looks as if we are acquiring anew the designation Separatists. Such an attitude is the result of thinking too highly of precedent and opinion, of giving the primacy of Christian interest to intellectual conceptions, whereas Jesus put it elsewhere. He did not stagnate the mind by discouraging Its native activity or freeze opinion in a prescribed body ot beliefs. He did not proclaim a new philosophy; He Inspired a new life. His first representatives sought to make the will of God prevail In all human relations; their successors of 150 years later and onward sought to make a view of God prevail In all human minds. Hence multiplied de- nominations and their debates and bitterness, their aloofness and positive antagonisms. But manifestly we do not have to agree in our views before we cooperate in promoting our common aims. Otherwise, there would be no pSrther- ' ship or cooperation in any field. Jew and Catholic and Baptist soldiers forget their theology when the common enemy appears. They forget it"he- - cause it is in no way involved. Ah! but when they sift back Into civilian life, they draw apart and divide their strength before the foes of human life they are all called to fight, actually not so long ago and here and there still fighting one another .instead of together fighting the devil. And Jesus wanted them to be one, not in formal , .union, but in brotherhood of spirit and fellowship of service. Chairman, G. N. Cowan , T. L. SASSER, B. W. SPILMAN, MRS. J. S. FARMER , CHARLES H.

Moore t (at Luther Rice Celebration) " _i Like Noah in a cynic world he built his ark so to survive the flood and to renew the race by the altar overarched by the radiant bow of divine promise; Like Abraham at the call of God he went Out "not knowing whither he went," but a sojourner in a land not his own he kindled altar fires that lighted the way for future generations exceeding the stars and sands for multitude; Like Moses he led his people through a wide wilderness, their intercessor with God, their In- spirer in distress, their guide to the land of larger opportunity, their interpreter of the will of God respecting their duty and destiny; Like Gideon he rallied around him a handful of helpers and with no other equipment than lamps and pitchers and the sword of the Lord he routed the foes of missions and made a powerful impact upon the pagan world ; Like Samuel whose major service was teaching "the good and the right way" he was a founder and forerunner of schools that developed kings and trained prophets 'and produced literature and enlightened the j»eople; Like David he faced and felled the giant that defied the armies of God; the rage and jealousy heaped upon him he endured without revenge or resistance, cherishing hope without hate; and he built up our denominational Israel by organizing our forces, training our leaders, and charting our course; Like the Preacher he did with his might what his hands found to do, devoting to his work every cent of his money, every tie of his family, every strand of his strength, and every moment of his time; Like the Sons of Issachar he had "understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do"; Like John the Baptist he made ready the way for the coming of the Lord in India, and America, and unto the uttermost part of the earth ; Like the Master he went about doing good; preaching with power to the crowds; talking per- sonally now wfith a Sandhedrlst and now with a Samaritan ; spending whole nights in prayer; blessing little children; leading the lost into the "*" ._~ ~E.

The streets are so thronged with auto- mobiles that one is lucky to reach his home without being run over. Many girls are so poor that they walk the streets without silk stockings. That is not all—to furnish warmth, the consumption of cigarettes increased by several millions. Yes, the times are hard! You may even have to wait from twenty to thirty minutes to secure a seat at the movies.— Watchman Examiner. Unless ahd "until'churches are convinced that their* ministers * are' as much entitled to an old age income as the employees of Industrial organizations, they wiH hold themselves aloof tram assuming any part ot the cost of such old age provision. Surely our churches, after teaching big business the "principles of social justice, will not now repudiate their own teachings by refusing to put them into practice among themselves. — The Relief and Annuity Board, Dal- las, Texas.

Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets give quick relief, for one reason, because they dissolve or disintegrate , almost instantly they touch mois- ture. (Note illustration;above.)

I see my duty, and I. do it not, And therefore see no farther. James says: "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avall- eth much." President John R. Sampey, who with Mrs. Sampey Is representing Southern Baptists in the Far East, writes: "Ask the brethren everywhere to pray for our meetings in Japan and China. We long to encourage our missionaries and native workers and to win many to a definite acceptance of Christ Jesus as Saviour and Lord." WbhTyou also remember all our Work and workers daily when you kneel, asking that great wisdom and grace may be given in order that the work may prosper ' everywhere and thaL.His _JClngdgm may come more fully In our own hearts and to the ends of the earth1? And won't you pray that our people will remember their obligations and pay their pledges promptly and regularly to both the Cooperative Prograna and the Baptist Hundred Thousand Club In order that our creditors may not grow impatient or our causes languish? "All our people In all our work." J. E. DILLARD. —Henry Ward Beecher expresses the same thought when he says: "He who Is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause." There is nothing arbitrary or unreasonable about this. It is simply the natural and to-be-expected operation of inexorable law. Duty is asset or liability.

Eskimos are great re- specters of law and order, and the rule that any kind- of physical violence is prohibited is strictly ob1 served. When a native thinks someone has wronged him, he resorts to a very curious method of giving vent to his feelings. He composes a aeries of songs in which he ridicules his op- ponent. It is'a rule that, beforehand, he must give notice to his antagonist of what he is going to do. This gives the other man a Chance to prepare songs of^rsimilar nature which, hold up his rival to ridicule. Often some weeks are passed in preparing for this duel of ridicule, and finally a day Is appointed for the singing of the songs. All the friends of both parties are asked to assemble and there is great eagerness to attend. The aggrieved man starts away with his batch of songs. ' As he does so, he makes all kinds of faces and gestures, which are supposed to suggest his opinion of the man who, he feels, has Injured him. When he has finished, the de- fendant in the case tries to outdo the first man. Finally a popular vote is taken to decide who is the winner of the novel contest. As may be imagined, the occasion almost invariably causes a great deal of merriment, and In the end every- one Is happy and ' good-tempered, In- cluding the one-time opponents.— The Girl's World. your druggist ' for Do YOU Need Money?

Not In unbelief.—Voltaire was an Infidel of the most pronounced type. He wrote: "I wish I had never been born." Not. in pleasure.—Lord Byron lived a life of pleasure, if any one did. He wrote: "The worm, the canker, and the grief are mine alone." Not in money.—Jay Gould, the American millionaire, had plenty of that. When dying, he said: "I suppose I am the most miserable man on earth." Not In position and fame.—Lord Beaconsfleld enjoyed more than his share of both. He wrote: "Youth is a mistake, manhood a struggle; old age a regret." Not In military glory.—Alexander the Great conquered the known world In his day. Having done so, he wept In his tent, because, he said, "There are no more worlds to con- quer." Where, then, is happiness found? The answer is simple: "In Christ alone."

A Clean System A hearty appetite is something to be proud of , because it usually indi- cates that the digestive system is in a healthy condition. real desire for good, wholesome food, the body cannot be properly nour- ished. Biliousness and sluggishness dull the appetite and tend to make men and women finicky about what they eat. Slowing-up of the work of the digestive system (ordinary constipation) sometimes is attended by such disagreeable symptoms as bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, sensa- tion of fullness after meals, disten- tion of the abdomen, eructations of gas, sick headache, dizziness, .spots before the eyes, and a dull, tired feeling. Black-Draught revives activity of the lower part of the digestive system, relieving constipation. It is purely vegetable in composition—a reliable, natural remedy for sluggish elimination.

It was an inspiration to sit and look around nt the high walls and memorial win- d< wa. and listen to the notes of the organ played by Mrs. Sarah Devault, the organist , arcl 'o think of what Cod hath wrought through His people at McGill Street Church. pastor. Rev. C. E. Baucom, and his rarriticing members have erected this beautiful and useful house of worship and instruction at a cost of about dollar of which had been paid at the time of its dedication last spring. This achievement is the more inspir- ing because the interest in evangelism and missions nevfr waned but waxed strong during the period of the building- program. The chart exhibited before the association showing the record of baptisms and gifts by the churches indicated that McGill Street Last year had an increase by baptism of 106 and gave over a thousand dollars to missions. McGill Street are as gracious as they are generous. Most churches enter- taining the association think they have done well to provide a midday lunch for their guests, but McGill Street not only furnished dinner each day but also supper for those remain- ing over for the night session, and gave every assurance of their delight at having us meet with them. Every church in the association sent letters and all but one sent messengers. In the "one minute" reports made by messengers, and from the records exhibited on a large chart , the Cabarrus Association has made phenomenal some lines the past year.., It has had an increase of over a thousand in Sunday school enrollment the past year, which was a 35% increase over the former years. there has been an increase of 4(K ' r in membership. The First Church of Concord led the churches in its gifts for all purposes , and its gifts to missions totalled around $1,800.00.' The Centerview Church at Kannapolis had an increase by baptism to its membership of sixty-two. record of some churches was small by comparison with the larger ones, yet in propor- tion to ability their gains have been quite as significant and their pastors and members jusjt as faithful and loyal as those of larger churches. The record of achievement in both' , the large and small churches inspired us with hope for the future. The night session of the Cabarrus Association was devoted to young people's work and temperance. moderator , Rev. E. S. Summers, presented a young man by the name of Oscar Watts, a member of Kerr Street Church , Concord. port on B. T. U. work and then p.ut on a demonstration of what the B. T.

Space forbids a detailed account of the. happenings at this the -first -meeting of the Cabarrus Association since the dissolution of the Mecklenberg- Cabarrus and- the formation of the Mecklenberg and the Cabarrus. Rev. E. S. Summers was reelected as moderator and Mr. S. M. Presler was elected clerk. Brother Summers has been moderator of the old Mecklen- berg-Cabarrus for several years, and from remarks heard he will be moderator of the Cabarrus for some years to come. Dr. Charles E. Brewer, president of Meredith College , Raleigh , was among the distinguished visitors introduced at the morning hour. the afternoon he was given the opportunity to speak on Christian education , which he did with characteristic soul-emphasis. Rev. J. B. Little, president of Win- gate, presented the aim and achieve- ments of that college and introduced a quartet of students who sang in their native tongue the national anthem " of Cuba. introduced asking that the churches open their doors to visitors from Wingate .and take up collection in their churches for the support of the institution. It was unanimously fa- vored. Some of the churches In this association include this college in their budget. The sermon by Rev. J. S. Tyson, of Kannapolis, was based on Isaiah 51:9, "Awake! awake! O Zion, and put on thy strength." It was a clarion call to the churches of, the Cabarrus Asso- ciation to combat the forces against the truth and love of God in Christ. is one man converted each month from each of these states and he re- turns to his native state or some other and begins to tell the story of Jesus and His love for men who are down financially, socially, morally, etc. What would this mean within a few years? God loves the lost man, whether he is in broadcloth or In rags. The power of God can traris: form a life. Many men who have broken away from home have found Jesus in this Mission and have received help materially and returned . home-to a heart-broken.wife and ChJJL. dren. God alone knows the value of such a work. The Home Mission Board has recently secured a beautiful building for the Woman's Emer- gency Home. This comes in direct answer to prayer. Dr. Newbrough's story of how God led them would bring joy to your heart. now able to care for as many as thirty-six women at fine time, but neither men nor women can be properly cared for until God through human instrumentality gives funds. Permit me to give you some glow- ing statistics. Dr. Newbrough has recently given the following report of the year ending March 31, 1936. Pro- fessions of faith—490; total attendance—28 ,259; beds and lodgings— 27,260; meals—22,801; new men— 4,180; requests for prayer—1,815. Many professed Christians have come back to God and returned to broken homes. Surely our Baptist churches, our Missionary Societies and any other organization that cares to support such a far reaching work will be glad to boost, pray, and give freely.

This bright novel centers around four women who typify their respec- tive periods. Three of these women are cut off early and tragically from love, and the way in which each-of them faces her frustration is peculiar- ly characteristic of her time. In "Fair Company" Miss Leslie crystallizes the jpirlt of England over "the past hundred and thirty years through the story of one family. Entrancingly she pictures the social and political de- velopments of the period; yet seldom does the reader become conscious of the firmly woven background as such. First of the Wrotham women Is Sabrina, who, before she is twenty loses her husband at Waterloo. She develops into a wise, vigorous, and richly experienced woman, the "standby " of her family for over three-quarters of a century. Next is Clare, the daughter of Sabrina's twin brother, who grows up into a rather smug, self-centered girl, but withal, a capable wife and mother. comes Charlotte, Clare's niece, a "red-head," who chafes at the do- mestic role allotted to women, who defies her family and his to elope with David, a Jew, and who, after the tragic death of David, directs her mighty energy toward the suffrage movement Gillian—Rose- was- ot-a doomed generation-—she drabbled in all the pre-war fads and follies, lost her lover in the World War, and then was unable to adjust her life to the changed conditions. Laurencina, a war baby, isTBeTB"3"6 Wrotham -woman. Her uncle (whose charge she had been since her mother died in the influenza epidemic), as the author presumes, writes this account of the Wrotham women for her benefit.

The Founder's Day program began at 10:30 o'clock with exercises in the college auditorium, at which time the Rev. Sankey L. Blanton, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Wil- mington, was the principal speaker. Other speakers on the morning program included E. F.

At 2:15 a pageant depicting significant events in the history of the college was given in the new amphitheatre under the direction of Miss Bonnie Wengert. Mars Hill was founded in 186 6 as the French Broad Baptist Academy and was chartered in 1859 as Mars Hill (Inllege with the "power of con- ferrfng all such degrees and marks of literary distinction as are usually conferred in colleges and seminaries or learning." The college still has this power, although it does not exercise it. In 1921 Mars Hill organized as a junior college, becoming a pioneer in; the junior college movement in North Carolina. The college is now the oldest institution of higher learning in North Carolina west of the Blue Ridge. This year also marks the fortieth year of Dr. R. L.

Brock, the moderator, called the Sandy Run Association to order at 10 a. m. on October 7, and kept it in order until final adjournment. After reorganizing itself , the messengers to the association listened to the reading of seven objectives set up by the moderator, Rev. J. A.

The present moderator and all other officers were reelected. The-cleric Re-Vr -T, H. Pawls, r-eported- the number of messengers present to be 216. . . Rev. T. M.

Upon motion of Dr. W. A. Ayers, the new president of Boiling Springs College was asked to address for thirty minutes the association. The president, Dr. George Burnett, before speaking presented four ministerial students from Boiling Springs. his address the new president asked the association for $3,000.00 to help the institution realize the ideal of the board of trustees and friends of the school. He concluded his force- ful message by calling on Mr. G. V. "Governor" Hawkins Brother Hawkins is a friend of the college at Boiling Springs—and of everything else owned by Baptists. He announced a barbecue and picnic would be given by some friends of the school to all Baptist preachers and their wives, to all Sunday school officers' and their wives, and to.all B. T. U. officers and their sweethearts on the campus of the college in the near future. The association was entertained by Mt. Harmony Church, Rev. W. K. Wyatt, pastor. On driving on the church grounds, lined off for the parking ..of cars, one might have thought he was at a city instead of a country church. But at the noon hour he would have been convinced that he was eating at a country table, for one in the city never was so long ""and-laden—with -so nvuch_tQ_ eat_as_ this one. The people of the community gave the association a rous- ing welcome and threw their homes as well as their church open for the entertaiirarent-of visitors and messen^_ gers.

The others were < singing "Rock of Ages," but a« Woodrow Wilson left his seat and'- walked forward the song in his heart was, "There y?ere ninety-arid nine" that safely layi" That night as the matron made her rounds of the little boys' dormitory she found the rest asleep, but Wood- row Wilson was lying with, his eyes wide open. She went over to him and asked if anything was the matter. "No," he replied, "I was just happy thinking that I'm not the one lost sheep any more; I belong to the fold, and I'm one of the ninety and nine."—Jane Buchanan, ~in Sunday" School Times. Then the others would ask his father about him, how Woodrow Wilson was getting along, and his father, trying to hide his pride in his boy, would say, "Oh, I reckon tol'r'ble well. It sure is some school down there. Reckon you all won't know that young 'un when he comes back. He's grown nigh to an inch since he left us." Woodrow Wilson remembered how glad his father had been to see him, and how he had brought him a new pair of overalls, knowing that his two old pairs were patched and faded and reached not much below his knees. Remembering the happy things about his father, he had put out of his mind his unpleasant memories of hame»_oI _h_ow, for instance, he had hated Saturday nights at home. On Saturday nights the store filled up with a drinking, smok- ing, card-playing crowd. His father. If luck went against him, would lock up the store, late at night, in an ugly mood, snarling at Woodrow Wilson, and sometimes cursing or even strik- ing him. At those times Woodrow Wilson was afraid of that man who was his father. He dreaded almost .^s jmnîJJkDje^Jim^s^t had won and in a boisterous, drunken mood would call him in and show him the winnings of the game while those men who had had worse luck would leave, sullenly. But Woodrow Wilson wasn't thinking of those times, on that Sunday evening in the church. He remembered only the times when his father gave him candy from the store, and when hisTaThWTeTfrimntfrooTthe big shotgun, and the time when his father had let the traveling mission worker persuade him to send Wood- row Wilson to the mission .school. That was nearly three months ago. In that time he had learned to like school. He had learned to take fairly cheerfully the teasing of the big boys who, liking to make fun of his name, called him George Wash- ington or Abraham Lincoln. He took to the school work and was learning fast. He liked the Bible stories, all so new and thrilling and very real to him. At this stage in his thoughts he realized that the church people were singing one of his favorite songs. He couldn't read enough yet to sing it from the book, but he knew most of it by heart and joined in with the rest, singing, "There were ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold ; but one was out on the hills away . . ." Singing with the others, Woodrow Wilson forgot his troubles and was thinking of that one lost sheep, of how that scared and lonely sheep must have felt to be lost, just as he had felt on his first night at school, and of how glad that sheep must have been to be found. did the shepherd really think enough of that one sheep to take that much trouble for it? Surely the shepherd must have loved that sheep to spend AlLnigMt _at the end of a long day, looking for it. Then the song was ended and the preacher read his text: "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep," His life? That was even more than the shepherd in the song had done. Why would the shepherd, do—that?—The - preacher seemed to be talking right -to Woodrow.Wilson .there,.' and. he listened eageriy~td the slbry^fTnat" shepherd who loved his sheep—even one Sheep—so much that he died' for them, to save them. Suddenly a new idea came to Woodrow Wilson; "and he knew that he was that one lost sheep, and that Jesus had gone out arter him, even giving his Hfe for him.

Some days in the spring all the boys and their teacher leave the school to go swimming or to take a long walk into the woods." "What fun!" every one exclaimed. "The most fun is Christmas Eve," Aram explained . carrying little lanterns, go from house to house, singing carols. And, oh, the goodies the neighbors give us, sweets, and pennies, too." "Are Armenian boys like the boys you have met in America?" the teacher asked. "Yes—"• Aram grew shy, menian boys are—how shall I say?— more respectful to their elders." "You mean, they are more respectful to their mothers and fathers?" "They are respectful to their parents and their teachers, too. Armenian boy obeys his parents and teachers. He is always polite and helpful to them." "That's a good idea for our class," said Ed seriously. "Maybe Aram can show us" n^w~trrH»e-««aoFe-4ieJpluJ ^Jtp__ our parents." Before the class knew it the time was goiie. "This is the best lesson we've ever had," said Joe, smiling at Aram.

The little congregation of students in the mission school and the handful of older folks of that Tennessee mountain creek vaiiRv sat ûd^led fashioned heating stove" in the center— of the room. In the hope of keeping themselves warm by singing, every one was singing lustily, every one, that is, but little Woodrow JVilson Strong. Poor Woodrow nearly ten years of age, sitting un- comfortably on the next-to-the-last row of cold benches, couldn't sing, but sat there, cold and stiff , his eyes staring straight ahead. to be listening to the preacher, but really he was seeing a different scene. For Woodrow Wilson was homesick, homesick for—Pine Greek and the little store and one room there that he called home. He had been down at the mission boarding school for almost three months now, and Just tnat anernoun he had had his first visit from his father who was all the family he had. The visit had been satisfying, hut the going away was heartbreak- ing-and leftJilnrjesolate. So while the others sang, meaning it as~they sang, "I have the joy, joy , joy, down in my heart," Woodrow Wilson was filled with such loneliness and long- ing as seemed almost more than one nine-year-old heart could hold. As he sat" there he pictured his father, even now getting in at Pine Creek, dressed in his stiff suit that felt so strange after his overalls. His father would be' climbing down off the old mule that had made the long trip of fifteen; miles down to the school. Then his lather would come Into the atore—^nis BtorânrEgreet the group of idle men loafing around on kegs and sacks of feed in the clut- tered store, HIS lather would auk old Zeph-beaton.,, whom he had left : in charge of the store ln^hls absence —for Sunday, too, was trade day" there—how things had gone.

After much • explanation the vote was taken again, with [the same results. More expla- nsitiO^s'; more voting, butrthe same result followed.

Quick as a flash answered: "He made us beautiful BO that the men would love us, and dumb so that we would love the men." • A gentleman farmer tells of a city lad who once worked for him.

"We are each to bring something which will help us understand the people of the Near East. I can hardly wait." "That is where the Arabs live," Joe chimed in, "My father traveled cried Dick. "I know he 'll let me bring his pictures and curios." Every one seemed to have something to bring except James. He did not have even a book about the Near East. He wished his father had traveled across the sea. "Oh, well,'" James thought un- happily, "I can't help it. over to see the new boy on our block. Maybe 'he is lonely In a new—town~- The new boy proved to be such a good companion that James stayed all afternoon . "Aram , do you go to church?" James asked him. Aram 's eyes lit up. "At home in Armenia we go to church. beautiful, the singing, the church bells early in the morning!" his face grew sad. "But here, it is all strange. My father and mother g-rrno more to church. I am sad." James leaned "Would you go with me next Sun- day? We have a class of boys. know you 'd like our teacher." Aram nodded. "I'll ask mother," he shouted. ¦ The next Sunday found ah excited group of boys gathered outside the church. "Look what Dick has!" cried Joe. "Real beads from Syria." "~uAnd here Is a tiny wooden camel with\ pack on his back!" exclaimed Ed. At last James arrived and with him a very neat, very clean Aram. "Fellows, this is Aram," said James proudly. "I hope he will like our class." Ed and Joe and Dick stared at Aram's dark hair and laughing, dark eyes. "Why^ said Dick, ^'he looks just like the ArmenlaiTboy In this picture." "Of course," smiled James. "He and his family came from Armenia." • "Did you, really?" cried Ed and |Joe. ——After t,hal_the wooden camnlgjanr^ ^pictures were forgotten as the boys clustered around Aram, asking ques- tional abrjut the conpfry bvezJUhelsea.
