PLEADS FOR COMMON-SENSE
UNDERSTANDING OF BIBLE
President Jenkins of Davenport
College Preaches Unique Sermon
at University Finals.
Chapel Hill. June 5. —On the eve
pf their departure today from the
academic shades of Chapel Hill, the
317 outgoing graduates of the Uni
versity of North Carolina were
told today how to use the Bible as
they go out into a world that is
strange and different us compared
to the one in which they have pass
ed their last four years.
Their counselor was Rev. Wil
liam Adrian Jenkins, president of
Davenport College, who was grad
uated from the University 20 years
ago. Today lie preached a unique
baccalaureate sermon that. for
horse-sense advice, has been seldom
equalled here. At least that was
what the old grads and young grads,
too. were saying this afternoon.
The minister’s plea was for a
Oommon-sense understanding of the
Holy Book. Folks these days are
spending’ too much time inter
preting the Bible to suit their
peculiar whims rather than in trying
to understand it, he said.
"Man's religion ought to be in
telligent.” lie declared. "It should
ever be remembered that the Bible
must be read in the light of the times
in which it was written, if it is to
be understood, und that it was writ
ten by ail Oriental people who were
highly imaginative. We prosaic
Americans are prone to spend tpo
much time trying to make liberal
interpretations of the Book when all
we need is a common-sense inter
pretation of it.”
Mr. Jefikins spoke barely more
than thirty minutes and to ail
audience that filled spacious Me
morial Hall and listened attentively.
Presylent Harry W. Chase of the
University presided and Rev. Wal
ter Patten of the Methodist Church
conducted the devotional cx/rciscs.
The University Glee Club, under tin*
direction of Prof. Paul John Weaver
sang in Latin "Ave Maria,” the of
fertory, and two hymns.
Police Called Out To Quell Thirsty.
Windsor, Out.. June 6./—Police re

ing before the stores early today and |
at opening time the crowds had grown I
to such an extent as to become un
manageable. Women close to the en
trance of the stores were suffocated
in the crush.

Sandhill Pcehes Moving Now.
Raleigh, X. C., June 6—(INS)—
Early peaches of the Sandhills are
uoav beginning to move Northward in
ct\r lots.
The peaches being shipped now are
of the Mayflower variety.
Satisfactory prices are reported,
despite the small size of the fruit,
which is blamed oil the dry weather
prevailing in recent weeks.
It will be several weeks yet before
the later varieties—the Elberta* and
Georgia Belle—begin to ripen. These
rarities always bring higher prices.
It is estimated that the Sandhills
will ship approximately 1,600 cars of
peaches this season.
Fnder more favorable growing con

production would have been twice as
large.
