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.

' f ' t 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. Negro Dead a* Result of Fight at Albemarle. Albemarle, N.
