WORLD MUST BE REDEEMED.
Former President Woodrow Wilson,
writing under the caption the “Road
Away From Revolution, for the Au
gust number of the Atlantic Monthly,
sounds a note of warning that our ci
vilization cannot survive materially
unless it be redeemed spiritually.
This is the first time since hs ill
ness that Mr. Wilson has made pub
lic his views upon present day prob
lems in the United States and
throughout the world. They will be
preserved in permanent form between
covers.
Causes of Distress.
“In these dreadful and anxious |
days when all the world is at unrest j
and look which way you will the road!
ahead seems darkened by shadows
which portend dangers of many kinds
it is”, says the one who commanded
the ship of state during the World
War, “only common prudence that we
should look about us and attempt U
assess the causes of distress and the,
most likely means of removing them.”
Then avoiding the partisan analysis
of the existing state of American civi
lization the writer goes briefly to the
root of the matter by making essen
tially what is a religious appeal for
a better understandnig between the
“haves” and the “have nots.”
“Real ground for the Universal un
rest,” he asserts, “lies deep at the:
sources of the spiritual life of our '
time, and leads to revolution.”

WHITE SLAVERY CASE.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 28.—Mrs. Nina
B. Allen is speeding toward Los An
geles with $2,500 to get her husband,
Dr. Helon B. Allen out of jailL
Allen, known as the “father” of 57
children, mostly girls, was Jailed in
Los Angeles on a charge of violating
the Mann act. He is being held on a
warrant from Pittsburg charging him
with bringing one of his “children”
to Pittsburg from Sabot, Va., for im
moral purposes.
Miss Gladith James Allen, the girl
he brought to Pittsburg, is at pres
ent under the care of a children’s
i service bureau. She will be the prin

! is returned here to face trial.
INDICT FOR INSCRIPTION.
Chattanooga, Term., July 28. —Offi-
cials of Walker county, Georgia, have
served notice that they will go before
the Hamilton county grand jury here
and seek an indictment against R. D.
Baker for criminal libel, as the re
sult of the erection over the grave of
George Baker of a tombstone bearing
an inscription to the effect that he
was unjustly hanged by the state of
Georgia for the murder of Deputy
Sheriff J. W. Morton.
Local court officials expressed the
opinion that it would be possible to
. secure an indictment under the Ten

THE SUBJECT OF SIN.
Short Discourse by Olive on Disobedi-*
ence of God.
Mr. Editor: —I want to talk a little
on the subject of sin and I truly hope
that what I say will be fully under
stood by all that may read it and I
do trust that those who read it will
gain some measure of profit from it.
Now, what is it and from /whence
did it appear, when God made the
heavens and the earth and then made
man and put him in the Garden of
Eden, in a lovely, holy condition and
gave him a commandment which they
disobeyed. Therefore it was by dis
obedience to God, and it is so today.
Man wants success in business and
wants to do well, yet he will refuse
to serve and obey God. The heavenly
father loves man but man refuses sin
ners, of course, being under nature
while the unnatural man has been re
deemed and is changed from nature
to grace. Some believe that tne body
of flesh is the natural man, they
are sadly mistaken for our bodies are
controlled by the inner man and the
inner man being changed from all
manner of sin both soul and body, is
why he lives a different life from you.
That is where the hypocrites expresses
himself and has not sense enough to
know it, thereby exposing his ignor
ance.
Jesus well said that a corrupt tree
cannot bring forth good fruit, that is
the difference according to what Jesus
said, and the hypocrite wants to di- j
vide man and to divide himself, and'
he i§ going on down to hell. Mark !
this: and therein he is a sinner, do
ing sinful deeds and we cannot won
der that the hypocrite thinks that ev
erybody sins. Thank God it is not
true, because the illustration of the
tree proves otherwise.
God tells me in His word that I can-}
not sin and no human being can per- I
suade me in any other manner. For
what Jesus said is the truth, I have it
and no man can take it away from
me. I am determined to hold on to
it. |
Now in first John, third chapter and j
9th verse we have the word. Dear
reader look it up and read it and give
God thanks. Therein it shows Chris
tians taht they are done sinning un
til Jesus comes and takes us home to
rest. Let us look on the other side
and jwhat do we see ? We see sin and
nothing but sin. It is impossible for ;
hypocrites and the sinners to live ,
without sinning.
In John, 14th chapter, Jesus says
He is coming again. Thank God, dear
readers. He is coming again. If you
question a sinner or a hypocrite as
to whether he is ready to die, you
scare him and he will say no, that he
wants to stay here as long as he can.
Dear sinner, God loves you, but He
says the time cometh when He will
give you justice. Knowing this, I ask
you to begin praying and begging
God to forgive you of your sins, or
else you will be lost forever and eter
nally.
Repent now and be born of God
and be saved.
Pinelevel, N. C. J. T. OLIVE.

recognize opportunities and grasp
them. The man who will take no
risk, usually. Like a child in the pri
mary department, he is under the con
trol of stronger minds, and he re
mains an underling until he wakes up
to his conscious manhood and asserts
his right of initiative.
Faith in one's own ability and the
value of one’s own ideas is the first
requirement for notable achievement.
Most men have enough originality to
work out a successrul career, but tney
don't believe in themselves. They will
discard an idea that comes into their
own minds but hail it Avith belief
and interest if read in the paper or
suggested by another. Like the case
of the family physician; a mother may
know perfectly well what to do for
her side child, but she does not apply
this knowledge with assurance until
the doctor cans and tells her to do so.

In Spanish cities at 11 o’clock at
night the doors of all rooming houses
are closed and locked. After that hour :
one can get in only by calling the
guard or watchman of his particular;

which holds over to the present day i
in nearly all the cities of Spain. The
watchman carries a lantern and the
keys of all the houses under his

“Candidate” is, originally, a Latin
word which means “white.” With the !
ancient Romans, at election time, those j
who jwere running for office were a
“toga Candida”, a white mantel, em- ■
blem of the purity of their political
intentions. A herald announced to
the voters gathered in the forum: “tua
i'es agitur” (your interest are to be
attended to!”) and then the tribunes
took each candidate by the hand and
led him around, presenting him to the
crowd.
One of the world’s greatest iron ore
regions is located in the interior of
Brazil. The ore-beds are pure ard
abundant and the only drawback to
development lies in the lack of trans

ing implements by the crudest process
known to modern man. With the
abundant waterpower to develop cur
rent for electric furnaces, the econo
mic development of this area will soon
be solved. Brazil now imports large
quantities of iron and sheet from oth
er countries.

BEING A MOTHER.
. .
Dallas (Texas) News.
To be a mother, to be some man’s
inspiration, to live in the heart of the
children, to be the center about which
cluster life’s holiest associations, sure
ly this is the greatest blessing heav- ;
en can give, the greatest honor earth
can bestow. When the sorrows and
sacrifices, the loves and joys, dreams
hopes, ambitions of prerogatives of
] motherhood are thine, woman, thou
j has come to thy kingdom.—Ralls
It is true. Being mother is about
the biggest business woman can en
! gage in. It takes about all of her
time and engages her best talents. It
’ fills her days with useful labor and
( often, her night with sleeplessness and
dread. It demands of her sacrifices
such as only women are brave and
good enough .to gladly make. It puts
lines in her forehead and steals the
pink from her cheeks. It brushes the
curves from her figure and cheapens
! her raiment. It oppresses her in her
eager young years. But it puts a song j
! in her heart, it puts pride into her
| intelligence, it links her to eternity,
and when the gray hairs come and age
draws on apace it breathes solace into
! her spirit and sweetens the long af
ternoon of her life. The mother with
1 worthy sons and daughters has been
endowed by nature with companion
ship for her declining years, with ease
ment for her faltering steps and with
a spiritual breadth and understanding
i that compasses the heights and depths
! of love—and love alone on this earth
•is worth while. Still, we do not be
lieve that even motherhood should be
overdone.
A Task.
To be honest, to be kind to earn a (
i little and to spend a little less; to
make upon the whole a family hap- j
pier for his presence. To renounce
When that shall be necessary and not j
.be embittered. To keep a few friends j
but these without capitulation; above
all on the same given condition to
keep friends with himself. Here is
a task for all that a man has of for
titude and delicacy.—Robert Louis
Stevenson.

Let Us Be Contented.
Times are not as good as they were
a year ago apparently, yet they are as
| good as we deserve. Let us not stop
to wait for good times and waste our
time talking about hard times. The
way to make times better is to link
in and do our part and things (will
come out right. Where there’s a will
there is away, but we are all to apt
to give in when we have only a fri
volous excuse. Those who can recol
lect at the end of the war in 1865
when the government had to issue a
few hard tack to keep the people from
perishing and they made fine crops
that year and the fall brought with it
peace and plenty. We can do with less
if we will try for a few months. We 1
cannot overcome our backsets if ;we
don’t keep trying. Let every one pay
all he owes and satisfy his creditors.
A good credit is better than money
and we are glad to see our people are
realizing that fact of late more than
ever before in our recollection. The
more they do this the more prosper
ous they will be. He that takes ad
vantage of the hard times to hold back
what ought to belong to his creditors
will never be prosperous or live hap
py.—Exchange.
