Letsons ft inn Ih. Neimimi I hnn/i/i Thirty years ago tin. tnunil Di Seaman A Knapp lather of farm demonstration work ended his service to Southern tarni families in death. Reminding us of this anniversary in tin editorial in The Progressive karmei Dr Clar ence Pot recalls several brief paragraphs b\ Ih Knapp which are as timely today as when they were written ?Sonn years since'a travelei said that South t rn farms looked like a bankrupt stock ready tor the auctioneer-, tin soils impoverished, the buildings dilapidated, tire teiices a make-shift, the highway s much-used bridle paths, the churches and sehooliiouses built on the plan of inclosing the necessary space' at the least ex pense, and even the graveyards seemed not to "Believe 111 a resurrection. This viewpoint is not mine. To me tin Southern states surpass all of the countries ol the earth oTi>|ual area tn ma terial resources niaurh undeveloped To me the Southern people are tin purest stock of the greatest race the world has produced "I estimate that then is a possible 800 per cent increase in the productive power ol the farm laboret m the average Southern state and I distribute the gain as follows 300 per cent to the use of niorc and better mules and farm machinery; 200 per cent t" th< production of more and better livestock; 150 per cent to a rotation of crops and beltei tillage, ?50 pet cent better drainage;. ? ??? 50 pet cent to seed of higher vitality, pun bred and carefully selected, and 50 per cent to the abundant use of legumes and mote economical feed crops " Just six months before his death lie closed an address to county agents at Macon, fie . by de claring; "The Southern states should rightfully be the richest states in the land. They have the greatest crop-producing power . There is no such thing as poor land. It is the poor brain of a thoughtless man on top of the supposedly poor soil. No matter how poor the land appears, it can be made profitable if the farmer knows how and has the will to carry it through " Di Poe adds: "Put in a single sentence. Dr. Knapp's one great aim. his dominant ideal, was to make the South a vast democracy of thrifty, home-owning small farmers, every man sitting under his own vine and fig tree -to develop in the South the ideal conditions for a mighty race of- high-minded, stalwart, courageous people And on this 20th anniversary of his death, the whole. South needs a new dedication to this yet unfinished task " Sunday Blur /.an* ChurlotU apparently uncertain Of its own Sunday blue laws, is asking opinions from offi cials in other towns where Sunday movies are allowed Varied answers are appearing in the News. Charlotte's afthrnoon newspaper. But no to-the-ppmt solution has been suggested. Sunday movies, tike many other amusement events, are just another cog in a wheel of, vast si/.i?- which requires more and more men to work on Sunday. They are helping to destroy the one ii- t day in the week for thousands. Not so many years ago there were not more than half a doz i h people employed in Williamston on a giv in Sunday Today, there are several hundred at -their post of duties on Sunday Kven the store rioofs are thrown open for business Sunday af ter Sunday perhaps In accommodate a custom (i who was careli in the wic k days of per haps to bolster the profits and better the chances of keeping open the other six days. There was a time when men handled their work- in six days and had the seventh for rest. Today, more than ever, the laboring man is be ing called or pressed into service seven days to the week and held in contempt when lie asks two days off for Christmas. The trend is toward amusements and away from the real meaning of tin Sabbath day. We are last losing bur re spect for the day as one of undisturbed wor stiip: we reckon n as one Jor crowding in extra pleasures denied by a mad business world dur ing six days in the week As for blue laws, they will help little when there is nothing else standing between hun dreds o.l persons and the theatre /Vopcr/y llua f./euicr l/i/icn/ Highway Safety directors recently nointfcd out that the cost of highway accidents in North Carolina is greater than the costs for operating the entire Stale school system. The accident 'cost was estimated at $20,01)0.000.

PIEPHOKE Pastor. Presbyterian Church ? Ye arc living letters known and read of all men." Neutrality in religion is ""P"881. bit The brief prophesy of Obadiah < * l- rtni u in f 11 1 III- ui 1' ' H* J . , IS directed against the ? Edom. Edom is to be destroyed- Her pride is to be humbled: her wise men arc to become fools; her heroes are to becomi cowards, she is to be P1"", dered by her enemies and deserted |,v her allies?she has been doomed to utter destruction all because of the fact that when in 844 B.C Judea *?.- iliviiflffl l>Y the Philisfnes and the Arabians and the beloved Cily of Jerusalem was destroyed by them. Edom whose descendants were the xhildren of Esau, stood by on the other Side, and did not come to the rescue of their blood brothers, the children of Jacob Obadiah in summing up all these things concludes by saying that Edom ,S to endure all these things her self, not because she fought against Israel but simply because she stood by oil the other side and watched Is iael be destroyed bv her enemies There is no such thing as neutral ity in religion Someone may ask just here But whv do we need to be reminded about Edom and Israel today '" "What has all this to do with us?" The answer is this That if Obadiah were here m person today he might well say the same thing of us that he said to Edom Not because we have openly taken sides Willi the forces ''f CVll. but because we have been mdiffer cut to or neutral toward the cause of Christ or the moral and spiritual conditions of our city. While it may be true that Obadiah could not point Ins finger al us this morning with the same accusation yet we will do well to remember that he may he able to do so at sonu* later lime. v g. The Patriarch Noah denounced drunkenness. Yet there came a time 111 his life when Noah became drunk and at that tune Obadiah could have stood before him and said. "Thou art as one of them." Abraham couldn t stand a liar, yet on two distinct occasions Abraham told a lie. to save himself some cm harassment We too hate liars, every one does, yet many persons who hate liars will when they get in a tight place themselves tell a lie. and at such a time Obadiah could say to them. "Thou art become as one of I them." How true it is that silence gives consent. If our lives are not out and out against evil then we are out for evil. There is no middle ground He that is not for Me is against Me. When the cry of suffering human ity comes to our ears w e cannot stand by on the other Side and if we do God will judge us just as severely as if we had taken an active part in bringing this suffering to pass Humanity is suffering severely from such evils us intemperance, unemployment, gambling, prostitu tion, corruption, graft, starvation, over-production, stealing, and infi delity These things are eating the very heart out of our present civili zation and of our own fair city. Be cause of these things men and wo men and children by thousands are falling down by the wayside of life beaten, wounded, and ready to die "What are we doing to correct these evils'" You say. you are not the cause of them. Maybe not. You say that you do not take part in these sins. I hope you don't You say that you do not approve of them I'm glad you don't But such statements are beside the point The point at issue here is, that as you look round about you and see these things with your own eyes, since you must either be for or against them What are you do mgi Are you standing by on the other side and unconsciously becorti ing as one of them or are you defi nitely against them? To escape the accusing finger of Obadiah it is not enough? To be unlike Nero who sent Christ iun& to the lions. To say we take no part in the evils of the day. To say that we do not approve of them personally. To say that we ourselves do not steal, lie, gamble, curse, or commit adultery. As long as we stand by on the oth er side and do or say nothing to cor rect these evils we are as one of them. In closing, let me remind you, that it isn't necessary for you to answer these questions audibly, because your friends and acquaintances and God already knew the answers for "Ye art living letters known and read of | all men." Up The cost of living for wage earn ers in the United States made its fourth successive monthly advance in March, according to the National Industrial Conference Board.
