Rev. D. H. Tuttle Has
Been Preaching 50 Years
Rfv. Mr. Tuttle -Sunday Celebrated
the 50th Anniversary As a Mera- I
her of the Methodist C'onfereuce I
By Preaching A Sermon to the i
Methodist Congregation in .Smith
held.
By D. H. T.
The call to the ministry. .Jesus
.said, Follow me and I'U make you
fishers of men. Again Jesus said,
“Go work today in my vineyard."
The call often comes in the- hour
and experience of ones conversion.
Again itis a g''adual revelation.
The evidences of such a call are
(1) A hunger to. know God thru
tl'.e use of the means of grace;
study of God’s word (Mat. 5:6) and
prayer; attendance upon the pub
lic worship of God; sacrament of
the Lord’s Supper. (2) A, desire to
do and love for the service -of God
in the Sunday 'School, Epworth
League, as teacher, or leader of
young people’s meetings. In do
ing these things a love for the
.souls of those you serve is develop
ed, and the consciousness of a call
to preach is more deeply impressed
upon the mind, heart and spirit life,
(o) As one grows in intelligent
deci.sion to worship and serve the
desire to tell the old, old story of
Jesus and his love .for sinful men '
becomes so impelling that he, like
Paul will cry out in agony of soul,
' Woe is unto nie, if I preach not
the gospel.” A real call to the min
istry is the most compelling de-
m.aiid ever made on the life of any
one, and to rebel against such a
call is the most dangerous thing
one can do. Isa. 63:10.
Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
. Thou, from hence, my all shall be
Perish- every fond ambitfon.
All I’ve sought, and hoped, and
known:
Yet how rich is my condition,
God arid heaven are still my own.
This verse was repeated by me
at time I yielded to the call to
preach in State Convention Y. M.
C. A. October 12, 1882.
Application for licen.se to preach
must be made by the applicant in
person, or by letter, or by some
one whom he has requested to act
for him. (1) The applicant must be
recommended by the Quarterly
Conference of the charge to which-
he belongs. (2) He "must pass an
approved examination on doctrines
and discipline, and give “Satisfac
tory evidence of his knowledge of
t!}e ordinary branches of an Eng
lish education.” The district con
ferences have authority to grant
and renqw license to preach in
their respective districts. The vote
on licensing is by written ballot.
The form of license is as follows:

Marrow Talks On Schools.

At the regular weekly meeting of
the Selma Kiwanis Club held on
la.st Thursday night, Mr. C. P.
Harper, of the Selma Drug Com
pany, was presented with a beauti
ful loving cup. This cup is given
each year to the citizen of the
town who has rendered the most
service to the town during the past
year. The cup last year was pre
sented to Rev. L, T. Singleton and
in a' few well chosen remarks Mr.
Singleton last night awarded it to
Mr. Harper. The recipient tlianked
the local Kiwanis and Womai^s
Club for the vote given h'li'n,- which
was almost unanimous. Those w-ho
have won this cup fn the past w’ere
Miss Margaret Etheredge, F. M.
Waters, C. A. Jacobs, Geo. F.
Brietz, Rev. L. T. Singleton.
The program chairman, C. A.
Jacobs, Introduced H. B. Marrow,
superintendent of .school.- of John
ston county,’ who made' a brief talk
to the club on the .work of the
schools in the county. ?ilr. Marrow
said in part;
“The action of the 1931 'General
A.ssdmbly in inaking- the constitu
tional six months school term a
state, supported term instead of
county supported terra was the
mo t revolutionary and far reach
ing school legislation that North
Carolina has ei\acted since the adop
tion of the present constitioin in
1886,
“Usually such fundamental chan
ges are brought about by constitu
tional amendments rather than leg
islative enactmejs.Li; The ■ view of the
c'bitstitat'ldnal 'TeritSteme'nt -tliat there
.shall be a uniform school system in
the state had never before the leg
islature of 1931 been interpreted to
mean that this uniform system must
be financially supported by the
state. Prior to 1931 the accepted
interpretation of this constitutional
mandate wa.s that the state, through
the legislature, was to provide the
uniform scha»l .-ystem in each of
the one hunK-ed counties, which in
turn paid for these schools by an
ad valorem tax.
“It is true that in about 1900 the
state began to recognize that some
eountie.s were not financially able
to support such a .uniform system of
schools as was provided by the gen
eral a-sembly, and as a result of
the general funds of the .state
$100,000 to be* used in equalizing
the school costs and advantages in
the financially weaker counties. This
small fund wa.s th^" beginning of the
more recent equalizing fund which
had increa.sed by ll^SO to $5,250,-
000 a year. In other words, in re
ality the counties, were sypportihg
the schools with sub.stantial state
aid before 1931. ”
“In 1931 Representative A. D.
McLean iponvinced the' General A.s-
seinbly that the correct legal inter
pretation of the constitutional man-^
date for a uniform si.x months!
school term was for the

There are 175 school buses trans

Kills Big Hog.
Jlr. A. E. Phillips who live.s or,
Smithfield, Route 2, killed a Poland
China hog on January 2nd which
tipped the scales at 840 pounds af
ter being dre.ssed. Mr. Phillip.s .says
that with the exception of about
$1.50 worth of .-liipstuff all the
feed used in ra’sing this ric;:'. w.-:>
home raised. He measured 8 feet
and one and one-half inches from
tip to tip, was 42 inches high and
was 3 year.s and 7 monttis old
The fat from this' hog produced
270 pound.s of lard.
Mr. Phillip.s killed a, hog ju.st
before Christma.s wlv.ch dressed 380
pounds, and now has six more to
kill which' will dre.ss 1300 or 1100
pounds, and he says that he hasn’t
spent a penny for feed for any of
them except the big hog.
