'The Power of 'Young Manhood1 was the theme of the sermon by Dr. McDanlel. Toung men, the speaker declared, have aver been a mighty factor in the history of the world and leaders in every battle waged for truth and righteousness. . They ' have aalled the trackless seas, discovered unknown continents, helped In .the rnaklng of the laws of the nations and determined tha destiny of the world. Henry Clay, ha said, was Speaker of the House at li years old; Stephen A. Douglas was a can didate for the presidency at It: John 7ay, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States at 45 James O. Blaine, Speaker at II; Alex ander Hamilton had charge of the United States Treasury at II: Colum bus was only 30 when he explained to the king and queen of Spain his theory of the world that led to the discovery of the Western world; Na poleon attained his greatness before his thirtieth birthday; William Pitt was premier and practically ruling England at 14; and Jesus completed his life's work at S3 years. Truely, declared Dr. McDanlel. young men may accomplish a vast 'deal for the weal or woe ot the State and the na tion. Strength of manhood, the preacher declared, grows from obedience 1 to parents. The Bible says. "Children. obey your parent." but in this later day-we ara Tending t too largely; "parents, obey -your children..' Young men. If you have one thousand years you could never reoay that mother wnose hand rocked the cradle or that father who was the . protection and tne support or your youth.. ' COMPANIONSHIP A FACTOR. Another factor In eharacter-mak Ing, the preacher pointed out. was companionship. "Evil associates cor rupt good morals," ha declared, la the beat reading of the old text. The most Important factor in the educa tion of a young man Is his room mate. Given a sober, studious, high- minded roommate and - any young man win make a good record at col lege. . The world rightly luda-es bv me company you Keep. Industry is - essential to strong mannooa. xna pern of the South now growing rich Is that there may be reared a generation of idlers. Our lathers came out of the war and re- oullt homes on the ruins of recon- structlon. Tha ouestion to-dav ia can their sons and grandsons go through me perilous times or prosperity and maintain high Ideals, "if one will not work , neither let him eat" Is a divine Injunction and woe to that parent who accumulates wealth to enaow children In idleness. sobriety is fundamental In the making of character. ;. Not only does the . law of God condemn drunken ness and the law of the land throw restrictions about the traffic,' but the day ia here when the great business enterprises demand temperance of employes, witness factories and cor porations that are saying: "No drink. ers employed." The young man who would build on a firm foundation a solid struct ire must look not on wine when It Is red". No drunkard who aiea aucn expected to be a drunkard when he began to drink. Everv nna who drinks at all Is tn danger of a arunaaras aeatn. xne only aafe course Is absolute conscientious tem perance, the practice of temperance In the homes and teaching It In the pulpits and schools. Give us all the strong laws you can but these to be effective must be. supported by ' a strong temperance sentiment in tha home, school and Church. . V. PART FAITH PLATS. : Faith enters Into the formation of manhood. Without It no lofty char acter Is reared. Regard him your mortal enemy who would shake your confidence In manhood. Believe In your fellows and they will believe Jn you,. So will you be able to attain the best of which you are capable. It is said, "No man Is bigger than hia faith," and let as add, "Every man Is just aa big as his faith." In fidelity ia destructive and Christianity la constructive. Let It be said of you as Jesus said of one: "Great la thy faith." "Believe your- beliefs and doubt yvui doubt and never make the mistake of believing your doubts and doubting your beliefs." n In conclusion Dr. McDanlel ' be sought the young men of the class and the college to observe the pre cepts outlined and eapreseed the hope that each of them may build a char acter more enduring than braaa and more lofty than the regal pyramids of -Egypt. -a Sea Free on Ground of ScJf-DefeRse. 8peciil to -The Obflrver. , StatesvlUe. : May 34 The case of John Jones, colored, charged with manslaughter, his victim being Ous Murcblson, colored, was pat on trial Friday morning snd wss given the Jury early after the dinner recess of Iredell Superior Court yesterday, lAt- ter deliberating Ave or six hours the Jury brought In a verdict of "not guil ty" en the ground of self-defense and Jones Is a free man.
