THE COMMON PEOPLE.
The disclosure in the Charlotte Observer of the infidel propa
ganda being broadcasted from Chapel Hill and Greensboro under
the sponsorship of two of our urea test State-supported institu
tions of learning, is the most disquieting episode that has hap
pened in the State for years. It shows that North Carolina col
leges are inflicted with the materialism that nearly all of those
in the North are rotten with, and that the parent of today is up
against the problem of where to send his son or daughter for i
Christian education. Voltaire. Huxley and Rob Ingersoll are out
faced. The flippant blasphemies of Elbert Hubbard haven't got
anything on the (Jreenshoro professor, nor the editor of The
Journal of Social Forces.
Now the common people of North Carolina are just hard-head
ed enough to believe that either evolution or the Rible is a lie.
Doctor Chase and his coterie of modernists, materialists or ag
nostics—whichever term you choose—may be able by clever dis
quisition to establish compatibility. Mr. Taher—a student at the
I'niversity—who comes to the detense of Doctor Chase in the
Charlotte Observer of February 27. throws away the lirst five
books of the Rible. Rut his argument will not suit the common
people, by whom we mean that great bod> o! citizen* who do not
affect highbrow ism. but who furnish a big percentage •! the com
mon sense and taxes that it takes to run a great State. They
have got it in their heads that the Rible will do to tie to. an I that
it's >o. If the Riblical story of man's creation is an 1-raelhNh
nnth. then the other hooks between the lids arc fake?—T i >be
only the fatuous dreams of some mediaeval monk, and let inn
all fall with Gene-is—then hail to the ape.
Rut the common people are not read\ to gi\t tip the faith of
their mothers. Sooner would the> dispense with Chapel Hill nd
Greensboro. The I :i" crsity is our State's pride and glory, lv.it
we had rather see it in a.-hes than anything happen to the littie
church under the pin -. The one is the expression of our intel
lectual aspirations; the other stand- for ail iho-e things which
it false, nothing else i- of any value. We haxe lixed without the
one. but God help us wiih.;nt the other.

The ehief enemy of timber grow

North Carolina; Nature will reforest j

system to build up and savi the pro-j
