Thomas Begins Work With All Saints Episcopal Church. Pleading with his_ hearers to forget j the past, with its 'successes as well 1 as Its disappointments, and pattern 1 ' their lives after Jeus Christ in the future. Rev. Harris B. Thomas began his service as rector of All Saints Episcopal Church Sunday morning with a very forceful sermon from the text: "But this one thing I do, tor getting those tilings which ary behind, and reaching forth unto those things which ary before. 1 press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God ill Jesus Christ." Paul had but one purpose after he began his work for Jesus, Mr. Thomas said, and that was to convert the world from paganism to Christianity. “Paul’s success." lie continued, "was due to 011 c thing—a purpose in life. He believed in Jesus and he found no task too menial or too great to swerve him from his purpose in life." Deeds of successful men are ad mired and applauded, tile speaker said, but often the persons applauding fail to see the cause for the success. "Great and successful men have diffi culties to overcome and I hey are great anil successful only because they over come these difficulties. The suecss ful life is not the. easy life. "We should have a purpose in view. Tlie only men whose accomplishments we recognize arc those who had a definite purpose. They endeavored to attain that purpose. Men without a purpose or ideal are like a ship at sea without a chart or rudder They are blown this way and that way with the winds and tides. They are blown into danger, they are biown to. destruction. The successful man has a chart of purpose: he has a rud der of ideals.” Mr. Thomas warned his hearers against delay in forming character "We are now forming character." he continued. “If we do a wrong act or leave undone a worthy act we leave a scar on ofir character. The future is full of great possibilities but just the same it is full of great responsi bilities. "Life is thrust upon us, and the great question is what shall we do with it. How will we use it? We do not have to choose the evil for the evil chooses us. We must choose tile good. We must not be careless nr indifferent of our lives for we don’t live alone. We must consider the well-being of those dear to its and to iir fellow-man in general. No man ’iveth or dieth unto himself. No man goes down into the depths of degradation but by the law of cir Cumstances lie takes others with him. “We must have a set purpose in, life. We must have an ideal, an aim, a full life. If we work for an ideal in the proper spirit we will he too busy to recognize stir." The speaker said his hearers should not be interested primarily in taking things from life. "It is well to be rid of evil things but we should work so hard for good things that evil will not lure us." he said. "Don’t think so much of taking things from life. Strive rather, t > put things info life. “There is a prize for the worthy life—recognition from. God. We shouil strive to be Christ-like for He em bodied perfection in manhood. Wheth er we are rich or poor makes no dif ference if we can be like Christ. Christ was kind, sympathetic, conse crated to duty and to truth. Ho rep resented all that was holy and good; lie was in close, communion with God. - "Do those tilings that are pleasing in ,4he sight of God. That was Christ’s aim and purpose. He thought not of Himself but of his fel low man. Be patient like Christ ami remember, for instance, that great statutes are not made with a single stroke. They represent hundreds ,of well directed strokes. It is so with the develop ment of life and character. The use ful life. Pile successful life is the re sult' of well directed effort. “Do that duty that lies nearest to you. Nothing should be too menial if it adds something to life. We are all ready to do great things but we should remember that to he great we must do well the little tilings in life. Victories in the world are won after victories in the hearts are won." In conclusion Mr. Thomas urged his hearers to determine now to make l!>2fi a year of worthwhile service to their church and their fellowmen. “The Gjoose Hangs High."

He has not usually had to grovel in gutters, be gouged by gunmen, yanked about by yeggs, thumped by thugs, mained by muckers, kicked by cads, bombed by bohunks and shot by shy sires.

Special to Greensboro News. Italeigh, Jan. 3.—Discovery here of a letter today which Senator Hiram Johnson wrote James H. Holloway live years ago violently assaulting David H. Blair and declaring that as revenue commissioner he would be constantly embarrassed by great tax issues, will serve only as an "I told you so,” because the litigations of Mr. lUair and his In-laws against the government ill the effort to recover $875,000 of income taxes paid by the Cannon estate in 1917 and 1918 un cover nothing new. At the time Senator Johnson wrote his letter to the Raleigh man he was making a fighT on the continuation of the Winston-Salem man am! sug gesting that ns a member of a rich family there always would be tax em barrassments. The senator was not quite so mild as that. He was furious about it and there was soirn* politics behind it. The senator said he car ried North Carolina in the 1920 pri mary and Mr. Blair had shown no disposition to hand the stute vote over to him in the national convention which nominated Senator Harding. The suit which was filed in federal court here yesterday is instituted in order to get within the statutes of limitations. It is exactly the kind of litigatii n which Leslie and Glenn, representatives <»f the Cannons in New York and Philadelphia, won some time ago in the district and circuit court. They were given a verdict of more than $400,000 and they expect to collect it. v This suit grew out of a corporation which the Cannons had organized as a sales agency and the profits of which ha«l been distributed among the parents and their ten children. The whole controversy grovfs out of the question whether in taxing the Can non estate with this enormous amount of money, the government was right. It proceeded on "the principle that the division of profits was not in ac cordance with the law and that it: was in reality an evasion, but the New York courts stand with the Can nons. The New York papers have had a ’.ot of this controversy and there is great interest in. it. Local concern! is intensified by the fact that tin comniissiner of revenue really pro •eeds against hi* own department Such a state of affairs isn’t often du olicated. but there is no criticism of Mr. Blair in official circles here. The Camion ease has been expected ; many months. Mr. (hianon died in December. 1921. His estate was worth $20,000,000 or more. The Cannon corporation has 12 mills. In it* New York sales agencies it is alleged that the Can non mills received all th'e commit* sions on nine of the mills’ sales, and that Mr. Canyon personally received the commissions on the other three That is the story which appeared in the New York papers and is the bnqis of t>he suit here. Judge Isaac Meekin* is in Raleigh but how soon lie will got to this case lie is not able to say. A Northern Editor Figures on Flor ida Real Estate. X. C. Christian Advocate. Dan Brummit, editor of the North-! western Christian Advocate and well known to the attendants upon Ep worth League assemblies in North, Carolina, has done a little figuring on Florida real estate amid these boom times in Florida dirt, or rather Flor ida sand and water, and here is his conclusion of the whole matter: “Florida is said to have twenty million building lots platted and staked out; and x at least nineteen mil lions and a half are for sale by the speculator-owners. Since an average of four persons could be cared for in a house built on one of these lots, the speculators must be counting on Florida* prospective population as something like seventy-five or eighty million.
