We now have the "American A—oriattnn for the Advancement of Atheism," which was recently formed in New York, where it now has head foartei*. The Association applied for a charter, which was denied; ye* they in geiag ahead with their work. We do not know why such an asso ciation should be interested in break ing the faith which the very foundations of our government is builded. It weuld be interesting to know whe K is that is willing to spend money, energy, and time to change the whole plan ef our American system that puts God first to a system of atheism that puts man abend. The principal work of the associa tion so far has been to circularise the smrfer i Isssns of the universities ef America, and especially the church -» WMOfli. Naturally, one thing appeals te ■test people; that is to make him be lie** be i» superior te others. Of course, they appeal to the vanity the man, who has s knowledge ef science, and they drdive a wedge bateeen the young student of scisnce and the God of science, the Creator of the scientist, and the Maker of the things which scbience discovers. Sometimes bitter controversies rage among Christians, which always wilts the faith in some one. When Christian people get into con troversies with themselves and others, outsiders naturally fall to understand that we are possessed of God and the love of Christ end obedience to the Holy Spirit There is really no place for atheism in the human heart that trusts, loves, and serves. Then we must stand for Christian thrlng. Elder Sylvester Haasell has recent ly issued a tract on the question of evolution, in which he rightly divides the things of God from the thoughts, acta, and works of tha scientist We cant be too vigilant in holding op Christ if we block atheism. MOTOR CARS AND EDUCATION COSTS TO THE STATE Acoording to the records of the Stats automobile department and the board ef education. North Carolina peep Is spent $71,000,000 for automo biles la 1M», which Is mors than three times as mck as we spent for sdu catloa. t All the money paid for automobiles was spent voluntarily and willingly, while a large part of the money that |§ f|| |||d bOCMftM the law required tt.

HOW DO WE KEEP THE LORD'S DAY T If we were to attempt to answer that queationjn full it would take too much space. In fact, no one person can answer the whole question. If he is good enoygh to describe the wor ship of the good, he will not be bad enough to describe the bad of the worst of us. The people in Christian nations do pretend to keep the Lord's day for three reasons: Jesus arose on that day; the Holy Spirit came on that day; and sn that day the disciples met for worship. Now, some sleep, some fast, asms spend the day in woridy amusements. No law compels men to be religious or to worship anything or anybody; and unless we have a conscience towards God seven days in the week we can not consistently keep one Lord's Day. The pilgrim fathers kept the day and worshipped on that day. Our national and State governments make it a holiday and regulate trade and commerce on that day. Every body favors the law, but no body seems willing to keep it. Every body leaves their business Saturday withoyt a thought of returning to it until Monday, ercept the seller of pleasure products. There seems to be a spirit existing in most people to force the sale of drug-store products, auto supplies, and pleasure resorts to furnish them on Sundays. That ap plies to the grown-ups, too. We see the children playing marbles baseball, and other games on Sunday. They, of course, are not so mjjch to blame for playing a little, becu'ise the examples set them by the elders are not wholesome. The home, the school, the church is not teaching the great principles of worship and reverence as it should be taught There are even those who hide a way at*poker on Sundays, and still others who gather at soma dark cor ner and drink liquor. So Sunday closes on very few true and consist ent keepers of the Lord's Day.

I visited "The House of Rep resentatives," they were in session. What I mean by being in session, the tax bill was up for debate and they were arguing on "Better Golf courses for the medium salaried man." I suppose if the World Court bill had been up, they would have been talking on "Shall Amer ica park oblong or parallel." Well, then I went over to the Senate. They had adjourned, so I fek that America was not having such a bad day at that. We were only 50 percent inefficient THAT DAY.
