ment concerning a recent attack upon
our Pastor and Church, in a local
newspaper article.
In the first place, Bro. lsenhower,
/ haeing received a unanimous call,
came to this church, not as an evan
gelist, but as a pastor. This position
he has filled in a manner entirely ac
ceptable to the church. In the two
- months that he has bben with us he
has shown himself to be a man of
strength, sweet spirit, wisdom, tact
and spiritual power. As a preacher
he has impressed us as onfc who digs
deep into God's word, dhd unearths
for,his congregation beautiful and
profound truths. Presenting them soi
1
with us he has met every call made
upon him as a pastor, in a fitting man
ner and conducted himself on all oc
casions as becomes a Christian gentle
man and a minister of the gospel.
. In the second place, it is well known
to those who attended church regular
ly that the evangelistic note has been
sounded strongly and continuously in
his sermons, almost no service having
passed without an invitation being giv
en. Moreover, a month ago the
church began to plan for its annual
revival meeting, August being named
as the time, and brother Isenhower,
at the request of the church agreed
to do the preaching, which was greatly
appreciated.
The article in question was, we
regret to say, written by a member of
our church, a minor. We do not be
lieve that he intended to cast this re
flection upon his church and pastor,
which his words plainly imply. Hasty
and unfounded conclusions rather
than clear thinking and sound judg
ments are characteristic of youth and
inexperience, and it is our belief that
the latter should be considered of
prime importance in an editorial
writer. Indeed a facile pen and a
knack of turning phrases without a
real understanding of their meaning,
may prove a great menace in that cap
acity. We furthermore believe that a
town is fortunate when the local
press is enlisted on the side of justice,
truth and community up-building, and
where those responsible for its policy
and opinions are men of discernment,
conviction and mature judgment. We
deeply regret this attack which was
entirely without foundation, unpro
voked and uncalled for. A grevious
mistake has been made and a good
man maligned. Therefore be it
i i.
rwuiveu ?
1. That we assure our pastor of
our confidence in him, our apprecia- (
tion and our desire to hold up his ,
hands. ,
2. That we commend him to those ,
who do not know him, as an earnest s
and fearless gospel preacher, a sincere ,
seeker after the truth and a-lover of ,
it, a man who loves his fellow men ]
and has the shepherd heart
3. That we deplore the spirit that
has made our church a target for
criticism in the local press and else
where. We accept a part of it as a
legitimate result of taking a high
stand on moral questions, the re
former's penalty or reward. But
when pastor and church are taken to
task for the non-performance of those
very things toward which they are
bending their energies, it would seem
that criticism of them is neither hon
est nor intelligent, but has become a
habit or fashion. We are loth to be
lieve that the young men responsible
for the editoral utterances of the local
paper are at heart enemies of the
church of God. We invite the co-op
eration of all who are sincere in their
efforts to build up the community,
who love good and hate evil, and es
pecially of all christians of what ever
creed, who are working or should be
working, for the upbuilding of
Christ's kingdom on earth.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
be placed in the hands of our pastor,
a copy recorded in the records of our
church, and that a copy be presented
to the Hertford County Herald for
publication.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF
THE AMERICAN LEGION
New Orleans, July 6.?When the
tumult and shouting died away and
the American Legion hosts prepared
to leave Kansas City, following the
national convention there last fall, the
general feeling was that there would
never be another convention of simi
lar magnitude and general good times.
Faced by the necessity of living up
to the high mark established by Kan
sas City, the 1922 convention com
mittee started work immediately fol
lowing the 1921 gathering. l"he re
sult of this activity is the formation
of a program for entertainment of the
150,000 visitors expected, which will
eclipse in originality and spontaneity
'' for New'
Orleans convention authorities has
been to provide certain types of
amusement to satisfy the various
tastes of visitors. Each man will be
able to take advantage of the kind of
entertainment he desires.
'Way back in the minds of most
veterans is the desire to revisit the
scenes of their best times during the
World War. To the man who went to
France there is perhaps the memory
of a leave in Paris, a sojourn behind
the lines in a picturesque village
where the corpulent madam who ran
the cafe was kind and where the mad
emoiselles were not hard to look
upon. The soldier and sailor who
did not go to France has heard his
comrades hold forth at Legion posts
meetings upon the joys of days spent
behind the lines, and ia.no less eager
than his buddy who went overseas to
live again the old, care-free life.
For. five days, starting October 16,
New Orleans will cast aside its mod
ern American ways and will revert to
the days of French and Spanish domi
nation. The famous carnival atmos
phere of the Mardi Gras will prevail,
bringing to every visitor that spon
taneity which dominated the streets
of Kansas City.
Arriving in New Orleans, the
doughby visitor will be transported
to a cosmopolitan atmosphere. He will
meet Creole and French girls, attired
in the headdress and garb of Brittany,
Normandy and other picturesque
French provinces. At the street cor
ner, he will see on sale a special La
Vie Parisienne edition of a local
newspaper. If the train arrives at
night his jorney to the hotel will be
down a great White Way. Thirteen
thousand electtic lights will make the
downtown streets a memorable dis
.1...
juxy.
There are no descendants of Jesse
lames among the hotel proprietors
if New Orleans. Co-operating with the
convention committee to the fullest
extent, all principal hostelries have
agreed to give the visitor a bunk for
(1160 a day, minus bath, and for $2.60
a day with the porcelain tub. Every
man gets a bed too. The hotels and
housing committee is prepared to take
care of all visitors. Those who prefer
to live in the residential district far
removed froiS the sounds of merri
ment will be entertained in the best
homes of the city.
As a special act of courtesy to the
Legion hosts a celebrated French car
nival parade will be held.by a number
of French societies who have made
the Mardi Gras a national event. The
festivities will be held in the evening.
During the World War the rolls of
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps
carried the names of many famous
atheletes. To a Legionaire sports
have always proved to be of excep
tional interest. During the New
Orleans convention, the greatest
World War athletes of the United
States will compete in track and field,
marksmanship, wrestling and boxing
contest. They will endeavor to bring
the championships in their chosen
sports to their Legion departments.
Dreadnoughts, cruisers, submarines
and sub-chasers will'frolic in the port
of New^Orleans for the amusement of
the doughboy. The convention's
water carnival is expected to be one
of the most unique features on the
program. All the great naval powers
of the world have been invited to send
ships to participate in the carnival.
There will be British, French, Italian,
Mexican and Brazilian craft, while
our Cuban allies, who hold forth at a
comparative stone's throw for New
Orleans, will send a number of vessels.
Swarming about the sides of the
great ocean vessels will be hundreds
of yachts and. small pleasure craft,
decorated in festive colors. There
will be an opportunity for all visitors
to take a trip about the harbor and to
sail on Lake Pontchartrain, one of the
most beautiful bodies of water in the
United States.
Excitement will reign and recollec
tions of past perils will come to the
convention visitor on one of the con
vention nights. A spectacular air
raid will be staged over the center of
business district. Squadrons of
bombing planes will drop flares and
illuminating bombs, while powerful
searchlights from the vessels in the
harbor will play upon the air craft and
reveal to the thousands of spectators
the spiral dives, loope and daring
BY DAVID F. 8T. OLAIR
Washington, July 6.?Hon. H. S.
Ward is by far the beat sneaker of
the North Carolina delegation in Con
gress. In fact he ia ohe of the ora
tors of the House. For a new mem
ber he has distinguished himself in the
number of speeches he has made His
latest speech is that opposing the bill
to establish bird preserves and make
hunters pay a license of $1.00 each
or go to jail for six montlis.
?t. Whrd felt it his duty to oppose
this bill because the waters of his
district abound with many varieties of
migratory birds and furnish a hunter's
paradise. He could not see ?*
. jit --
'citizens of uis a is trie t to pay a license
to hunt birds on their own land. He
regards such legislation as favoritism,
to the rich sportsmen and clubmen.
Wr. Ward summarized the purpose of
the bill in the following language:
"What, now, is the real purpose and
intent of this bill, and why was it in
spired? Is it this: The sportsman,
whose inherited fortunes have remov
ed him far from life's duties, respon
sibilities, and cares, has purchased an
island in the waters, say, of Curri
tuck Sound, N. C.?and other waters
are similar?and in it he has built a
home and stocked it with all the things
that luxury and ease and sport and
revelery can suggest In this island
home he "tastes the spices of Arabia,
but feels not the sun or showers that
produce them." Around this island
for several miles it may be, is very
shallow water and shoals. His ripar
ian and other rights extend far out to
deep water. He has difficulty in using
the local courts to enforce protection
of his shooting ground. He wants to
turn these islands and shooting
grounds over to the United States, pay
his license, and get the United States
Government to protect them by its
regulation and through its courts. I
know whereof I speak. I have been
in touch with just these conditions,
and for several years I did my. best to
enforce rigid State laws for the pro
tection of migratory birds and the
property rights of those who enjoyed
peculiar privileges in the shooting of
them. I found it difficult. Juries act
reluctantly and call for, sometimes,
most too much proof before the con
vict on such indictments. But pass
this bill and the club owner and sport
ing man will raise the song of the
southern negro, "All 'er my troubles
am done away. It will turn these
waters over to the Government and go
to the Agriculture Department and
get a network of regulations govern
ing shooting on the them and get an
agent of the Agriculture Department
to come down here and wine and dine
with me and he will pick up these fel
lows?he will not need any warrant?
and carry them away to a United
States commissioner and have him
bound over to the Federal court and
make him come to that court to get a
trial three or four times, 100 miles
from his home, and by that time I
have done enough to him not to care
whether he is convicted." That is what
is in this bill. It is a piece of tyranny
and of sportsman depotism that no
English lord would have asked for
the protection of his manor in the
thirteenth century."
A community cow, rented out at
$1 a week to families in the congre
gation who have children, is the prop
erty of the Church-by-the-Side-of-the j
Road in Greensboro. The proceeds
realized from this rental are being
saved to buy other cows and event
ually there will be a community herd
to supply milk in large quantities for ,
all the children in the congregation.
movements executed by the pilots.
Women visitors who attend the
American Legion Auliliary conven
tion, to be held in conjunction with
the Legion gathering, will face a bar
rage of French fetes, yacht reviews,
teas, luncheons and automobile tours.
They will join their Legion comrades
in dances on the roped-off downtown
streets. Music will be provided by
numerous jazz orchestras composed of
Ne'w Orleans negroes who claim res
ponsibility for the syncopated tunes to
the American ballroom. The Pick
wick, Boston, Louisana clubs and
other historic and exclusive organi
zations are to open the doors to the
Legion and Auxiliary guests. Amuse
ment parks, theatres and all perma
ment entertainments enterprises of
New Orleans have arranged special
programs for convention week.
Volumes could be written of New
Orleans and the many attractions the
stranger finds with its gates. The
architectural uniqueness of the build
ings; its inviting parks and driveways,
and its unusual historical associations,
are features that appeal to all classes.
An experienced hostess, Miss New
Orleans is preparing to demonstrate
her hospitality to the Legion visitors
and to send them back to their homes
with happiest memories of the fourth
annual national convention of the
American Legion.
