H • What environment, what condition is responsible? , - Under the caption. “Fourteen \ ears Old,” The News and Observer brings this question to the attention of civiliza tion. It says: v, , Fourteen years old; he got his man and is proud, of it. Fourteen years old; he knows how to make liquor but lie never learned to read and write. v , Fourteen years old; he is'fimiliar with . the courthouse but he has never been in side a church. A boy who might pass for 12 years through the bars of Nash county jiil. and oalmly admits murder. He learned to make liquor when he was the veriest diild ;i he hardly remembers the time. His father taught him. His moth er died when he was six, but his step mother, the boy says, was' good to him. : Good to him! ■ . i: . I Nobody has been good to that boy" Fate, that robbed him of a mother who at least had started him on the way to school, was not good to him. The fath er, who taught him to steal and to make whiskey was not good to him. The step mother, who saw' no need for school of* church, was not good to him. The com munity, which had abundant opportun ity to see this menace in the making, was not good to him. The school, that noted his absence with indifference, was not good to him. The church, where neighbors worshipped in sight of this vio lation of God’s handiwork, was not good "to him. T1 L - t Nobody has been good to Andrew Den ton, murderer at 14. And now the State —humane, advanced, prosperous —can think of no greater good for him than to kill him. ** Who is going to answer for Andrew Denton? * “I put him away. I protected society,” the State may say, whether it thrusts him behind iron bars or sends his soul into eternity. That is the Law. The State is jealous of the Law, stands back of the Law’, fights for the Law. Andrew Denton isn’t a law’. Yet he — his immortal soul, his God-gjven right to life, growth, happiness, achievement— has been violated. Who is going to an swer for that? GARDNER S OPPOSITION. O. Max Gardner, slated as the next Democratic gubernatorial candidate, is to have L. N. Johnston, of Pender County, former State Senator, announces that he will be a candidate, be ing the first candidate as a matter of fact, to make formal announcement. We doubt if any man in the State could seriously shake Mr. Gardner’s po sition and strength with the people, and are certain Mr. Johnston, with his “wet” platform, will not get anywhere. He is an out and advocate of wine and _ Jjquor, and thinks the government should take a hand in the manufacture and dis tribution of both. While the Raleigh Times thinks also that Mr. Johnston has no chance for the nomination, it does think he will soon be nationally known and that he will make every front page in the country. “It is his platform that does the work,” thinks The Times. “Mr. Johnston is avowedly ‘wet’. He is a scofflaw with a moral and economic slant. He would save the boys and girls, and the farmers, too. He would abolish the bootlegger and provide a substitute for the faulty logic of the McNary-Haugen bill.” Ob serve his description of his platform: “It provides that the national govern ii meat" buy all f the-surplus fruits at a fair priced' The producers'; that good liquors and excellent wines be made by the said government from the said grains and fruits; and that sai<J liquors and wines be distributed by par cel post to bona fide householders as ac tual cost of production plus transporta- tion charges.” This may gfct the Pender man on the ■ front page but it will not take him to the Governor’s mansion at Raleigh. Mr. Gardner has little if anything to fear from this opposition. IS AT LEAST ENCOURAGING. Textile plants may not be any too pros perous this year, but at least they are headed in the right direction. After sev eral years of depression and uncertainty, the tide certainly has turned and the mills have a better opportunity for profit now than at any time within the past sev eral years. Figures released by the Association of Textile Merchants of New York indicate that the turn has been made. For in stance, the figures show that sajes of standard cotton textiles for the first six months of 1927 were 40.8 per cent, great er than for the corresponding period of last year. Unfilled orders were 153.4 greater on June 30 than on the corresponding date, in 1926, and were 48.1 larger than on January 1. Stocks on hand were 39.6 lower than on the same date last year, and 24.1 lower than on January 1. Statistics as to sales also appear to be highly significant. During the. first six months of this year they amounted to 1,- 703,401,000 yards of standard cotton cloth, which wac 114.5 of production. Compare this with sales of six months in 1926, which were 1,209,891,000 yards, or only 91.6 of production. This year on June 30 unfilled orders were 481,346,000 yards as against 182,- 708,000 on the corresponding date last year; wffiile stocks were only 187,623 against 310,825,000* a year ago. This year on June 30 unfilled opders were 481,346,000 yards as against 182,- 708,000 on the corresponding date last year; while stocks were only 187,623 against 310,825,000 a year ago. Business is so much better than it has been for the past several years, in fact, that several mills in this county may not take the usual summer vacation. v lt is customary for the mills to “stand” at least two w r eeks during time the machinery is inspected and other needed repairs made. However, with in sight it is reported that some local plants may forego the usual holiday, cer tainly so long as unfilled orders are the vogue. ' OUR STATE DEBT. The funded or bonded debt of the state government of North Carolina on May 31, 1927, was officially reported to amount to $143,093,600. The debt has been in curred for the following outlay purposes: highway bonds $84,999,000; general fund bonds $34,221,000; special school build ing bonds $14,835,000; and general fund notes $9,038,000. The special school building bonds w ere sold in order to secure funds to lend to counties to enable them more economi cally to build schoolhouses. While the state incurred the debt and stands re sponsible for it, it really is county debt. There is a current debt of $5,300,000 that will in time be funded. Five mil lions of this represents highway notes anticipating bond sales, and $300,000 Chowan River bridge notes anticipating bond sales. THE RELIGIOUS AIM OF DUKE UNIVERSITY. * Duke University is not to forsake re ligion. Its tremendous wealth and influ ence has not made those directing its af forget one of its chief aims. In an address before the Twentieth Century Club at Boston on May 27th, this year. Dr. W. P. Few, President of the great university, described its relig ious aims in these simple words: “ J'he aim Os Duke University, as had been also the aim of Trinity College, is stated by the words on its seal, ‘Educa tion and Religion’,— not two but one and inseparable; religion that comprehends i the whole of life and education that seeks : to liberate all the powers and develop all : the capacities of our human nature.” Dr. Few described some of the mater ial plans for the University, covering the ’ various schools to be housed.under the ; one general head. After telling about . other departments he said: * [ “We have also the way to com , plete organization a graduate school of ■ religion. Along with many other obliga tions and opportunities this school will . have the important duty of mediation be tween the religious conservatism of this region and the great intellectual ferment :• of the age. Serious-minded Southern ; people are not hide-bound and intolerant, r as many not familiar with our conditions s have been led to believe from newspaper h strictures on the so-called Bjble-belt; . but they ar.e in /earnest -to see that the . things of the ; mind and the spirit rathc-r than stark materialism shall control in I the great new day of progress and pfos • perity to which we are hastening in the South. The influential place, which the church holds in the Southern States I sould lflce to see not only abide, but to grow and extend; for it is the business of the church to guide the spiritual forc es that control the world. I believe we have a good chance t 6 avoid a disastrous break between ‘fundamentalists and mod ernists,’ such as I have always supposed came about in New England in the last century and in Old England some two centuries earlier, and so to escape in our developing Southern civilization the deadly dualism of life that sees a world of beauty and power without a moral tneaning on the one hand over against l austerity and narrowness along with re ligious intensity on the other hand.” This comprehensive outline of plans for Duke University’s School of Religion should set at rest any fears entertained by those who thought perhaps the larg er institution might forget one of the pri mary objects of the smaller college which it has replaced. Religious matters are still pertinent matters at Duke University and they will remain as such. JOY IN LIFE’S COMMON THINGS.* Because it reveals such a range of en thusiasm for the everyday things of life that surround the homes of rich and poor alike, many readers will enjoy the fol lowing in the Progressive Farmer which comes from a reader in Wise County, Texas, whose name is withheld by re quest : “Like Paul, I have known how to be abased and have also known the comfort of moderate abundance. Whether in a poor rented home or in a good home of my own, always there has been some special beauty-spot that made life rich er for me. “In a home of my early childhood there was a patch of wild morning glories that looked as if a rainbow had been broken there and its lovely fragments scattered over the ground. At another home there was a spring hidden among cat tails and alders where hundreds of yel low-splotched blackbirds came chatter ing in the late afternoon. Then a sum mer, when every morning a mocking bird perched in a hackberry tree by the porch poured out enough rollicking music to waken half of the world. “Years later a half-circle of willow trees was the most comforting bit of na ture that ever blessed my life. After long, hot days were over, rays scorching and destroying the fruits of weary toil, I have watched the red sun sink behind the wil lows relieved to escape its heat and to feel the repose of night come to every tir ed creature. The south wind would bring up to me that smell of wet river banks and green trees, satisfying as a breath wrom Paradise. I knew then why the Creator had His Psalmist say: ‘He mak eth me to’lie down in green pastures! He leadeth me beside the still waters.’ “There are sunrises for busy; the storm's awe for the thoughtful; the call of the ocean for the wanderer; and the peril of jungle and thunder of waterfall for the adventurous—something in na ture to answer each need. I like to think that God places us where some manifes tation of His handiwork keeps.us ever remembering that He lives.” NO WAY TO CREATE AN EMPIRE. Opponents of the Irish Free State will never cause the downfull of the govern ment by the assassination of its strong men. It’s a peculiar thing in away, but always there appear"strong men to take the places of murdered strong men. That is the reason the Free State will go on. Michael Collins gave his life to the cause and with his death many feared the new Republic would sag and eventually fail. Men to take his place were found, how ever, and while the guiding influence of such a man would of necessity be missed, his death did not halt‘the wheels of gov ernment for long and the Free State is stronger now than at the time of his time. Not because o£ his death; but despite it. Empires are not created by the destruc tion of its best men. Negative policies do , not create; they tear down. Even should , the opponents of the Free State win they mould suffer from the loss of the men they have slain. Presidents of the United States and rulers of other nations have been destroy ed on the altar of political hatred, but the policies of these nations was not chang ed with murders. Civilization is found-* ed on a constructive basis. It profits a nation’ or an individual’ nothing to de stroy able, virile ambitious; men., lo & lady who wants to■ know*how to become an opera star, we suggest that judging from the , rfeeut ads the first step is to smoke freely of a certain popular brand of cigarettes.—Florence ; (Ala.)

MORGAN A Capacity Audience Hears Noted Bible Scholar in an Unusual Message at First Presbyterian Church. “The Bible is the most romantic book in the world today. lam talk ing of the Bible just as a book, not a religions conviction,” declared Dr. G, Campbell Morgan, world famous Bible scholar, in the first of a series of lectures at the new Presbyterian church* Monday Dr. Morgan spoke on the theme: “The Romance of the Bible.” /' A large crowd taxed the seating ca- I parity of the beautiful auditorium to hear Dr. v Morgan’s fascinating dis course —a lecture so very different on the Bible, yet impressive. At times the Bible student reached oratorical heights, then again his phrases were terse, but suggestive. The manner in which Dr. Morgan presented his message added to its lustre. Each evening through Friday Dr. Morgan will lecture on the import ance of the Bible’s influence upon the world. The subject of hie lecture tonight will be: “The Study of the Bible.” His subjects for the other evenings include: Wednesday, “The Bible and the Nation”; Thursday, “The Bible and the Church”; and Friday, ‘flFhe Bible and the Child.” “For many years I have sought to use worcte carfefully, know their value,” said Dr. Morgan, explaining to his audience the meaning of “Romance” a« it was used in the topic of his lecture. “The definition of ‘romance’ is the blending of the heroic, the marvellous, J** mysterious, ideas in language or literature. That is the service of ‘romance’ I used in this subject. “The Bible is the most wonderful book in the world today. Let us ex amine it as a book, its nature, and contribution to human fault and opin ion,” he stated. “As a book, you un derstand, not as to religious value or inspiration, just as its value as a book, I submit to you that among books —history, biography or fiction — you will find no other book with the selling test of the Bible. “A severe test of a book 'is its ‘life’ —what appeal it makes to the public. The appeal of most books soon dies. The severest test of any book is found in this question—How hard is the book of sufficient elemental human interest as to destroy merely national or racial interest to permit its translation into other laguagesV I might sum up this whole question in one word —translatibility. “There are some books in English which are needless to translate into French, and there are French books which would be foolish to translate into English.” Here Dr. Morgan furnished statistics to show that the Bible has been translated into more than 800 different languages, covering nine-tenths of the world’s population. In the past 125 years two Bible societies —the two greatest in the world —have sold 500,000,000 Bibles. “When the sales figure of a novel runs into six figures this modern day. it is boomed everywhere as the “best seller',” said Dr. Morgan. “Bibles have been selling for 1,700 years, and during these years determined efforts have been made to buy up every copy and destroy it. Speaking of romance, see what belongs to the Bible! “Talking of romance —heroism — consider the task of translating the Bible into 300 “languages, which, until efforts were made to put the Bible in these languages, which had no writ ten form, no grammar or literature. There will not one's imagination find food for thought on the romauce of the Bible? Think of those men. he roes, who labored to put the Bible into these many different languages. “The Bible—l advise those in my audience who have not Bible to buy one. The bible is a book, yet it is not a book. It’s a library, that is the marvel of the Bible. It contains 66 little books writteir by between 30 and 40 authors over a period of 1.500 years. I am not giving you any new facts about the Bible, but I am refreshing your memories. ‘The Bible is a book that was sold and will sell and be translated into all languages always. You cannot find out how these 66 books became stitched together, and became our Bi ble,” the scholar told his hearers. “All of us know that other letters of epistles *were written about Jeu*«. but why were these 66 selected? Along these lines you will find the divinity of your Bible. “At the present there are'two com mitted arranging new Bibles. I would have a word with these commit tees and give them this advice: ‘Write your own Bible but do not touch a word in our Bible. Let it W, do no£ take from it anything you like to fill in your Bible’.” Next, Dr. Morgan spoke of the contribution of the Bible as a book to' human opiiUon and fault in the realms of philosophy, theology, ethics. “The Bible is saturated,” he said, ‘.‘with the philosophy of the Hebrew people. Bible philosophy does not begin with a question but with an affirmation, and when the magnificent march of philosophy reaches its end will be where the Hebrew philosophy begun —fear of God.” In the effort of the world to find the truth, the Bible ha& made pos sible scientific investigation, demand ed the right of men to discover the truth. “Truth remains the criterion and science has no right to demand belief.” averred Dr. Morgan. In speaking of the influence of the Bible. Dr. Morgan declared that “some people w.ho "woi}ld go into Heaven, would find indecencies bpt the inde cencies are within them, and not Heaven. Some people say that tli£ Bible in places—that it i* unfit to read in certain chapters or epistles. The people who might this fault with the Bible are evil-minded 1 and go to the Bible to satisfy their swinish .nature. The Bible will do nothing but lift and purify life.” DR. MORGAN TELLS HOtf TO STUDY THE [ BIBLE IN LECTURE > Another Great Throng Hears l Noted Bible Student at t New Presbyterian Church Tuesday Night. i “Bible stutty is the study of the - It is personal, 'first-hand in t formation of the contents of this Book • of Books.” > ' . ' ! 5 Thus said Dr. G. Campbell Mor -5 gan in a summation of his second night i lecture at the uew Presbyterian church i Tuesday night. Dr. Mqrgan is deal- E ing with several phases of the Bible in his night talks, seeking to show - his audiences the monstrous weight > this Bible has om the scales of this - life. t “The Study of the Bible” was the i theme df his gripping discourse in [ which he cited the many ways people > believe them&elvee studying the Great • Book, but as a matter of fact regard i the Bible as some sort of magic or indulge in “higher criticism,” or mere ly fooling themselves with ineffective ’ methods. , “My work is to deal with the Bible , in its interpretation,” said Dr. Mor ' gan, “and this evening I am going ! to talk about the study of the Bible i because I think it needs to be studied. The ranks of our ehurches today are [ not filled with Bible students. “In the old country I met people i who believed in the Bible, yet they treated it as though it was a magical ; book. They would go to it in time of difficulty, open it with eyes shut ; and touch a verse, seeking a solution 1 to their troubles. To me that prac ■ tice is almost wicked; treating the i Bib’e a« a book of magic—and that ; isn’t Bible study. i “Another way is daily reading— reading a bit of a chapter as out [ lined to you by some Bible reading association. I have no objection to i this method if you remember what the bit was about three hours laWr. But that isn’t Bible study. It is, htfw . ever, devotional.” i At this juncture the lecturer told ; the narrative of finding a Bible in - the gallery of the church of which . he was pastor, and which is near Westminster Abbey, London. The . gallery had not been opened in several [ years. When Dr. Morgan picked, up , the Bible from' its cover of dust and . spider-webs he found that this Bible . had belonged to a woman who had I marked around the verse and gave the name of the preacher and date on which she had heard a sermon. The \ book was marked throughout, and a survey of the marks indicated that this woman during a period of forty years had heard a sermon every Sun -1 day with the exception of twenty. ’ “That marked Bible did not prove ! that woman had studied the Bible,” ! declared he. “You are never etudy -1 ing the Bible when ytou hear a ser mon ; you are listening to the re ! suits of the study by your minister. 4 ■ However, that method of marking the Bible is a fine practice. I wonder ‘ how many in my audience tonight “ pursue such practice. “When you come to the Bible with a foregone conclusion, you will be unable to study it. If you let me study the Bible that way I can select s a text and prove to you anything. I can tell you to go hang yourself i and give support to it from incoherent bits of the scriptures. That is gro tesque. But we will never be able to study the Bible if we entertain fore gone conclusions. “I’ll tell you another way that isn't Bible study. When you are discours ing with one on the author of some book of the Bible, that isn’t Bible study, but higher criticism.- But. un derstand I am not condemning higher • criticism. You can spend years talk ing or debating about who wrote this . book or why it was written and never study what the book contains. “I’ll tell'you what Bible study is; but first what is study? It is the personal first-hand information. A man has never studied the Bible ’ he has girded the loins of his mind to the book and studied it. How r much do you know of the Bible? “The true function of a teacher is to make the student independent of the teacher. laman in the position to say. I was trained to be a teaeher. The textbook and the teacher are neeesstffy but their business is to make themselves unnecessary. ,What was the value pf your college educa tion? Certainly it was not what you learned but the training. “The elemental things to study the Bible are an open mind and a devoted , will. You can’t be a student of the Bible unless you come to it with an open mind and you give it your de moted wil —give diligence. -When a teacher tells his student he must be lieve in the Bible before studying it, then he is asking the student to ac cept a foregone conclusion. ’ “You must have the open mind— free from pride, from prejudices, from passion and the mastery of tradition. Have you noticed how much our Lord trampled upon tradition, scorned it ruthlessly, vehemently denounced it. Tradition is the opinion of people 1 about truth, but truth is truth.” Dr. Morgan next told of a personal : experience which he titled: “How I Lost My Bible and How It Found Me.” The son of a “hardshell Bap tist” and a minister, Dr. Morgan said that he was never allowed to read any fiction. Hie father “was a man of one book—the Bible.” At the age of 16 years, three years after he had begun to preach, Dr. Morgan said he plunged into an in tellectual world and .great scientific age—at that period when the ques tion was being asked: “Is God kuow ablej” It was when Darwin and other men were treating the subject of evolution. ? Dr. Morgan made it clear,that he believed thatvDgrwin and ,his con-, temporaries were taking their' evolu-1 tion seriousljfj but f this movement closed him info a great darkness as to, what to believe—the- Bible or scien tific stories. Dr. Morgan said it took him two years to get on the right . Pathway again. He declared that he read every book defending the Bible' - A and every one defending the seientitiJ findings. Then finally he locked all of these I books into a closet, forgot them arid ' began studying the Bible—then V] i( . I Bible found him. He became devour in his belief of its truth. lmt j away these books I had been readin and went to the Bible with an open mind. I cannot allow myself to i* prejudiced.” Dr. Morgan told parents not to de clare to their children that they wi be lost in eternity if, when' thee return from college, they declare tha, they cai\'t believe the Bible. “Rathei than that stand by, fathers and' moth ers, and let him find his way clear “But young people,” he cried, "what do you know of the Bible? Give it a chance by studying it with an om-n mind.” To be a Bible student one has got to work, according to Dr. Morgai The best methods to study it are tim, by getting a general outline, and sec ond to study every detail. Dr. Mor gan advised to get the best up-to-date; translation of the Bible, and to for get chapters and let the story run j u sequent. The Bible may be read in sixty hours at pulpit rate, Dr. Morgan said “I read, at least, each book in the Bible fifty times aloud before I formed an outline of the Bible. That re quired me seven years. Then 1 began studying the minute details.” INTERURBAN PLANS TO BE READY WHEN DECISION IS MADE 1 Officials of P. & N. Will Be Ready For Actual Con struction If Application Is Approved. Officials of the Piedmont and North ern Railway will be in position to begin actual construction work imme diately if their application for ex tension of-jheir lines is approved by the Interstate Commerce,Commission. While it will be several months at the earliest before the commission hands down its decision on the recent hearing in Charlotte, P. & N. officials are going ahead with plans for ex tending the line from Charlotte to Winston-Salem in North Carolina and from Spartanburg to Gastonia in South Carolina. This plan will elim inate any delay after the decision is made. The Charlotte News of Tuesday carried ' J^ltfrH*c v to present activities of the' inter Urban company: Work prelimfnary to starting con struction of the proposed extension of the Piedmont and Northern Railway from Charlotte to Winston-Salem is being carried forward steadily by the railway’s engineering staff, with the principal effort directed at completing the negotiations for rights-of-way along the greater part of the selected route, it was learned Tuesday from officials of the railway. Approximately ten miles of right- ‘ of-way have been donated by land i owners wlioee properties are situated j between Charlotte and Kannapolis which- are 23 miles apart by the pro posed railway route. The P. &X. also has purchased 5.355 feet of right of-way between these towns at $lO an acre; 14,003 feet at SSO per acre-ami 0,080 feet at SIOO an acre. # “A very considerable portion of the] right-of-way between Kannapolis and j Winston-Salem will' be donated by J landowners,” according to officials of; the P. &N. Practically all the! right-of-way not donated “can be ac quired at a reasonable price.” it was | stated. The line from Charlotte to] Winston-Salem will be 77.01 miles in | length, if constructed. Construction i will not be undertaken until, and if. j the Interstate Commerce Commission j renders, a decision favorable to this; railway oi% its pending application for' authority to build the additional, trackage.
