; More Than 200 Persons
Present for First Session!
Held in Forest Hill Meth-|
odist Church.
FINE ADDRESSES
FOR FIRST NIGHT
Another Session Will Be
Held Tonight at 7:30
With Final Session To
morrow Night.
More than two hundred hundrded
people representing twenty Sunday ■
Schools attended the opening session
cf the Concord Sunday School Insti
tute held at Forest Hill Method : st
Church last night. Among those in.
attendance were 7 pastors. 8 super
intendents and 50 teachers. Those in
charge of the meeting were well
pleased with the attendance and the
interest shown in the work. Other
sessions o£ the institute will be held
tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30
o’clock. The Sunday School workers
of all denominations are urged to
attend.
The opening address of the insti
tute was given by Miss Flora Davis,
of Raleigh, Associate Supt. of the
North Carolina Sunday School Asso
ciation, her subject being “The Wide-
Awake Sunday School.” In discuss
ing this subject Miss Davis called
attention to three points which she
said that every wide-awake Sunday
School has and three things that it
does. “First, the wide-awake Sunday
School has an adapted building, which
means that whether the building is
small or large every part of it is be
ing used to the very best advantage.
Second, the wide-awake Sunday
school can even begin to do its best
work if the teachers and officers do
not have frequent meetings to plan
the work. Third, there must be an
alert corps of teachers and officers.
The superintendent must be progres
sive. he must be one who is always
looking for the best methods to use
in the school, who does not try to do
all the work of the school himself but
puts part of the responsibility on his
co-workers, and one who is willing to i
learn. The teachers and other officers
must be willing to train for the work
they are called to do.
wide-ftwa£e l?un«ay School |
not only has something,,, but ft does
something. One important thing
that it does is to increase its attend
ance. This is done by first getting
a better average attendance of those
already enrolled in the school, and
then by getting more people enrolled
as new pupils. When we remember
that the average attendance in the
Sunday schools of North Carolina is
about fifty per cent. *of the enrollment,
and that only two in five of the popu
lation are enrolled in the Sunday
schools, we realize that the wide-awake
Sunday School can easily increase its
attendance.
“A second thing the w T ide-awake
Sunday school does is to train its pu
pils for service. The schools must not j
only teach the pupils to know, but it
must train them to do. This means
that there will be a definite program
of activities for every class or depart
ment in the Sunday School, and that
every pupil will have a share in car
rying out that program.
“And last, but. most important of
all, the wide-awake Sunday school j
leads its pupils to Chris* The Sunday |
School that fails to lead the pupils to !
accept Jesus Christ and to unite with >
His church is failing in its most im
portant mission.”
. Speaking on the subject, “The
't’oung People's Challenge to the
Church,” Frand D. Getty, of Phila
delphia/ Associate Director of Young
People’s Work for the Northern Pres
byterian Church, said:
“The young people are challenging
the church for recognition. They
Want to be regarded as young people
of today with all their present capa
bilities and enthusiasm, not as the
men and women of tomorrow with the
necessity of waiting until tomorrow
comes before they can render service.
“They are challenging the church
for courageous leadership. Young
people are seeing clearly some of the
great problems of the world, and they
recognize that many of these prob
lems can be solved by the application
of' Christian principles as found in
the teachings of Jesus. They are eag
erly awa’iting that courageous lead
ership within the church ■which will
lead them on to the solution of prob
lems and the* correction .of many of
the present day evils. These leaders
must understand young people and
i must be able to interpret the princi
: pies of Christianity in terms of life
: today. ' ,
“The young people are challenging

“The young people are challenging

In Pronouncing Sentence on Major
Bowman at Newton.
Newton. Feb. 10.—After the appeal
by counsel for and against Major
Bowman Judge Web delivered a very
timeley and instructive lecture on the
present day evils and conditions. He

the present day dress and conduct of
young girls was calculated to create
and cause a lot of talie imoral condi*
thus of the present day. He harked
back to the “good old days” when the
i parents required their children to go
to church and Sunday school, stay at
‘‘home and help their parents ana work
from win up ui\til dark. xLI
Itis lecture was considered one -a*
the finest on present day evils and
conditions heard here in a loug time
and numbers of the older citizens stat
ed that it would be a fine thing if ev
ery boy |and girl in North Carolina
could have heard the timely instruct-
I Ive and good advice sounded to the
young people of today.

J. J. HAYES IS CHOSEN
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
Durham Is Selected as Convention
Place and April Bth as Date.
Durham. Feb. 10.—Johnston J.
Hayes, of Wilkesboro, was elected
unanimously, almost on the first bal
lot, as national committeeman to suc
ceed Judge John J. Parker at the
meeting of the North Carolina Repub
lican executive committee here this
afternoon. The committee also se
j lected Durham as the place l for the
I State convention and April Bth as
| the date. \
' William G. Bramham, as he had
previously announced, told the com
mittee that business forced him to re
tire as State chairman at the expira
tion of his term at the State con
vention, saying he could not stand
for ire-election. Some republicans
do not take him seriously but he
evidently means it.
Nor was there the least evidence of
the spirit of Marion Butler in the
meeting; that is, so far as could be
seen. Os course, the actual business
of the’ committee was transacted in
executive session, only the 16 men
and Y1 women associate committee
men being in attendance. Gilliam
Grissom stayed in by virtue of being
secretary. Testimony of those in
side, and all indications bear it out,
that the meeting was as peaceful as
a church service.
A. A. Whitener was called away be-'
fore the convention actually as
sembled. Whether he saw the lay of
the land, and that caused it, is not
known, but it was apparent that he
could hot win.

NO CLEMENCY TO THE
ASHEVILLE MOB MEMBERS
Men Who Stormed Asheville Jail
Must Serve Terms—Tbok Law in
Own Hands.
Tom Bost in Greensboro News.
Raleigh, Feb. 10." —“The prisoners
sought to destroy t # ne very processes
of government upon which they now
rely,” Governor McLean said this eve
ning when he turned down 6,000
prayers for clemency and sent the fif
teen Buncombe cotinty near-lynchers
of Alvin Mansel and assailants of the
county jail to their puniemnent in
the State's prison and on the county
roads.
His excellency’s powerful statement
must have been rooted in a mob scene
in which that great Presbyterian
Paul turned upon High Priest An
anias, who had caused the Apostle
to be smitten in the mouth, and gave
the religious-rascal this:
“God shall smite thee, thou whited
wall; for sittest thou to judge me
after the law, and commandest me
to be smitten contrary to the law?”
The Buncombe crowd smote the jail
in defiance of the law and then had
the impudence to invoke the law to
save themselves.
. Governor McLean had few back
standers in this ease. There was
such terrific pressure on him as no i
executive has ever had. The execu
tive utters a beautiful sympathy for
the innocent families of these gro-
I tesque defenders of the home. Just
• offhand we would guess that one of |
these days his excellency will be
thinking of some state action for the
smitten members of society, victimized
by novice or wrong doing of tbeir
. own. He gives the hint to the Ashe
j ville people. But he cannot turn
; the State over to the mob.
Most of the men who must serve
their terms seems to have friends.
Various of them had good records.
Not a few of the fools seemed to
I think that they really virtuous
i in beating down a jail in the effort
ito lynch a prisoner who had been
taken by no enterprise of their own.
The governor has been importuned
from all angles. He has been asked
to save the negro, his victim joining
in the request. But Governor Me- j
i Lean quickly sensed the situation — (
die friends of the mob were behind
the woman.
Governor McLean is delighted at
the resistance of Buncombe’* officers
who were protecting a negro indicted
for a capital offense against a white
woman. He is pleased to see the anti-
I mob spirit which was shown in the
j Buncombe and Martin county cases.
