Prominent Figures In Eng land LID IN CABINET His Visit to Prime Minister Created Much Talk Among Official Circles (By the Associated Press. 1 London, itay 27.—The political storm having subsided there is still much surging around the name of Austin Chamberlain, caused by his talk with the prime minister Bald win at Exchecers court yesterday. Some of the Sunday papers assert that the prime minister offered him the ambassadorship at Washington despite the fact that there is not evidence that the position is vacant, and the same papers assert that Mr. Chamberlain declined the honor. It is not stated whether the alleged offer was to be considered as a solace for th« supposed disappoint ment of Mr. Chamberlain in not be ing included In the cabinet list. Ac cording to an open letter which Mr. Chamberlain has written to his constituents he and his co-partners In the wilderness were prepared for any personal sacrifice for sake of reuniting the *p*worWlT* art b^ Infewsse® 'tK' accuser the ''die hards'” of frustrating Mr. Baldwin's desire to achieve that unity. This agrees with'the current' re port that three prominent “die hards” ministers threatened to des ert the new prime minister if Mr. Chamberlain was included in the cabinet- and that thereupon the plan to include Sir Robert 3. Horne and Mr. Chamberlain collapsed. ‘ There is no confirmation of statements con necting Mr. Chamberiain's name with the Washington post.

BANDITS PRESENTED PEKING NEW TERMS Powell Returns to Camp After Parole to Negotiate ■ With Government (By The Associated Press) Tientsin, May 27.—J. B. Pow ell editor of the Weekly Review of the Far Bast, who was pa roled by the Suchow bandits that he might take part in con ferences looking to the release of the prisoners held by the ban dits, will return to the strong hold to the bandits in the Poat zuku hills. The bandits have agreed to release W. Smith, the sixty-year-old Englishman, on Mr. Powell’s return. The num ber of captives held by the ban dits at Paotzuku is estimated by Mr. Powell at 100. The firing heard Thursday ni&ht is explained to have been due to soldiers frustrating the at tempt of the Independent brig ands to join the Paotzuku ban dits. That heard Friday night is believed to have come from a clash between soldiers and the bandits. The new terms of the bandits for the release of their captives have not been fiade public, but they are said to be more rea sonable than those first offered. 8HFTIST MINISTER (THICKS EVOLUTION McDaniel Tell* Meredith Senibrs That Scientist* Denied God (By the Associated Press.) Raleigh, N. C.. May 27.—The names of renowned scientists, Dar win, Huxley, Spencer nnd Tyndall, are heralded from pulpits as the guides to truth, Dr. George W. Mc Daniel, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., declared to day ha -a .hanna laureate- sermon be- - fore the graduating class at Mere dith college, attacking the theory of evolution as being false. “One may hear pulpit utterances which make the impression that the agostic Huxley is to be believed raher than Moses," he asserted. “It is urged that we must revise our in terpretations of Genesis so as to ad just them to the theories of Darwin and Huxley. Neither of these men would so much as affirm the exist ence of Gpd. nor even that there was an intelligent purpose in na ture. “As to Moses, a process of criti cism has been going on which de nies his authrship of the Pentateuch; ' as to Darwin and ^jxley, a prac t!ce of praise is taking place which exalts fhem to positions of great teachers of divine tr{fth. In fact, ; they were.j^agontlcs as were their . contemporaries, Spencer and Tyn dall. “Darwin had the greatest brain of the four. Though not the most logical, he was the most reverent. In the closing chapter of his ‘Origin of Species’ he refers to the Creator and he did contribute to foreign mis sions. But after giving him all the , credit, he so richly deserves it iq a lamentable fact that his theories and pursuits landed him in agnosticism. "The bible is a fortress which has withstood every attack from Celsus to Percy Stlckney drant.” he con tinued. "Men have Hurled against it the paper wads of their own fanciful theories ignited from their own powder. There it stands like Jackson at Manassas, ‘a stone wall,’ like Gibraltar at . whose base the waves break in fury. The bible Is an anvil upon which the infidels have beaten and broken their ham mers. “Any one who examines the'bible with an Humbl" and reverent mind and comparts its taehings with the ascertained facts:—not conjectures— of modern research, must have his faith In the book confirmed. Every disputed issue of the bible upon which the archaeologist has throwp nny light has. been es/->M'»*'pd. The statemepts of the opening chapter of Genesis, the storm center of th^corr troversy, are in accord with what is known today. Professor Alphonso Smith, of the United States Naval Academy, says: ‘It Is the one chapter In the hjble that has made science possible. It Is the Magna Charter of science.’ I “To 'quote Dr. Frances 8mlth, n distinguished long time teacher of natural science in the University of Virginia: ‘The ( writer of the first chapter of Genesis shows a corre spondence not with the 'science of his time, but with that of three thousand years later, which the ac cepted doctrine of probabilities makes It impossible to attribute to a fortunate guess.’ “The scientist; Is unable to ac count for matter. He is itnpotent to create matter of life. Neither can he unravel the mystery of the pro cess of development. Hopr did in vertebrates develop br-•••-—»s and fnamels develop breasts? Explain the origin and transmission of the eye—the most perfect«.mechanism known to mtn. The simplest Chris tlan. with his bible, can tell more about the . origins ’’than Darwin. Huxley, Spencer and Tyndall, all to gether. (Continued on Page Five) HOW 14 DIED IN TEXAS OIL FIRE. A spark caused by the clashing of two bits of mefal as crews of men were trying to cap the Hughes oil well gusher, near Kearns, Texas, set the gas and oil afire, 14 men being burned to death. The well burned for days, the heat making it impossible to approach it, until men wearing as bsstos suits managed to drag out the charred bodies. Sixteen boilers were rigged to pour live steam and smother the fire. Although spectators were kept back 500 yards by the heat, P. J.

FAVOR AMERICAN CONTROL OPWM Geneva, May 27.—The American proposal for the control of opium traffic seemed to begaining ground to day among the members of the opium advisory com mittee of the league of nations and the American dele gates are hopeful of the adoption of the main points of the plan. China, Siam, Germany and Portugal reported fav orably, while France and Great Britain are doubtful and Japan, Holland and India opposed the plan. The op position stands on the Hague convention which it •• contended allows the «se of prepared opium. Mrs. Hamilton Wright, the American assessor on the committee informed the meeting that she was au thorized by the Turks at Lausanne to say that Turkey would ratify the opium convention as part of the Laus anne treaty.

C., May 2V.—The dan tar of the world today lies in the mined minds unsurrendered to Christ, declared Rev. Benjamin R. Vacy, Jr., pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, Atlanta, in the >accalaureate sermon delivered at he commencement exercises ol Peace Institute here today. Rev. Mr. Lacy, who is a son of State Treasurer and Mrs. B. R. u,acy, of this cityV had for his sub ject: “Christ and Our Four-Fold L.lfe.” taking his text from Luke !:25—“And Jesus Increased In tyis lom and Stature, and in Favor With 3od and Men.’’ The minister stress 'd the great importance of physical, nental. 'social and spiritual devel jpment./- . “The ideals of Peace Institute are lie ideals of the Princo of Peace,'’ [lev. Mr. Lacy stated. “For fifty rears she. has been developing the :holce womanhood of the South in he four-fold life. She has taken and leld our girls during a part of that teriod of life which Is today reco« ilzed as the most difficult yet me? nentous of all periods. Consciously >r unconsciously she has brought all )f her resources to bear upon one jbject, namely, to send forth into he world you people who, like lesus, are increasing in wisdom and statue and in {pvor with God and nan. How well she has accompllsh ;d her taSk some- one other than myself must say. I desire again Lo remind you of old truths which ire made more impresfve by this iccasion. » “With the increase of study and research .In the; subject pertaining to man’s individual development there has been an increased empha sis upon the importance of the period covered in Christ’s life by the silenj years In Nazareth. All voices ire saying that those years are the awakening years, the years of ‘streSh and strain’ when physical, mental, social , and spiritual devel opments sare greatest. Yet of these years in the Master's life we have but a brief comment. When we ex amine the verse that contains it we find that the. comment is all-inclu sive; we« discover that It has suf ficient data for a plan and program of life for every child. We like to think that He grew as any other boy or girl, and that He sets the ex ample and gives the power to other hoys and girls to grow liko Him. “1. Phyical. You are passing through that period of Vour life when your physical powers are de veloped in full. Almost all athletic record* lira held and broken by men and women In this period. When the Boston runner won his third Marathon recently the sport writers did not comment st^much on the fact that he is the only man who ever won three such contests as that he wan 35 years old. Scott fla 'X ishcd his wonderful record of 1,000 games In the American League, a record which makgs us view him as a: veteran, yet lie is only 30 years old. And Ty Cobb at 30. is regard ed as an exceedingly old baseball man. "HoTvever, It is not he stars about whom I am talking. 1 am discussing the average boy and girl. Their physical powers are develop ing moqt rapidly at this time and their physical habits are being form ed. From 12 to 20 physical growth is startlngly rapid. During three years of the period a boy’s weight Jncreases 40 per .cent and his height 14 per cent; a girl’s weight increase 3D per cent and her height 10 per cent. The vigor and energy display ed is cause of wonderment to every middle-aged person. • ' "God therefore demands that if we are to bo about his business, the first task is to grow in stature. Anything which delays or stunts the growth is sin, be it over-indulgence in eating, or under-indulgenco in sleeping, lack of exercise or use of harmful drugs and stimulants. Our best efficiency for Christ requires us to be healthy. To emphasize the Importance of our physical nature the Scriptui;^ characterizes our bod ies as temyies of God's Holy Spirit. Christ's body was the dwelling place of God, and ours is the dwelling place of His Spirit. A temple must be kept clean and beautiful and strong. "One other consideration in addi tion to these which actuated Christ should actuate us in following Christ in physical development. The fu ture of the race depends upon It. Men ask why girls should not smoke and drink like some boys and nien. The answer tqpnot always obvious, but I think we ran senso it always. The race has,always Judged that the children'gain their greatest her itage from their mothers. If they are not strong in stature, healthy In nerves and free from debilitating (mbits the future of the race is jeopardized. ' • ' . “Your Beloved Mother. Peace In stitute. hai guided your .physical life for tho higest aims of the King dom of God.. You remember the sleepless night of our J^ord when His disciples rested and" slept, yotf recall the supyr-human nervous and spiritual demands placed upon,Him. He bore them because of those 18 years of growth. Upon you will come demands for special efforts of strength How tjathetlc it is to see a boy or girl well-equipped mental ly, socially, spiritually for God's work yet laid aside because of physi cal unfitness. It is a social and re ligious duty to grow Ii^ stature, to guard welt the Temple of God. "2. Mental Life. There is a finer Instrument whloh Christ would have us use In His Father’s Business than our physical nature. Our irtlnds must be trained and used by Him. The unfolding of our intellectual life takes new Impetus during these changeful years. Our reasoning fac ulties are developed, our inquisltve ness is increased, our imaginations gain In srweep and vision..

May 27.— Custom decree iinr that Sunday of commencement week shall contain a baccalaureate sermon, Raleigh will at the close of the present, .twcqtj,-_:fo.iir period have had four: at Peace Institute Rev. Benjamin R. Lacy, pastor of the Central Presbyterian cburclj of At lanta; Meredith College, 'ttev. George W. McDaniel of the First Baptist church of Richmond; St. Mary’s. Dr. Kirkman G. Finlay, Bishop of Up per South Carolina; State College, Dr. R. B. Perry of Hickory. The sermons of Mr. I.acy and Mr. McDaniel delivered this morning at the same hour were in decided con trast. A native of Raleigh and son of Stato Treasurer I.acy, the Atlan ta preacher’s visit was more in the nature of a home-coming than an attempt on evangelization. His sub ject was : “ChHst and Our Four Fold Life,’" and ho preached from the text: “And Jesus Increased in Wisdom and Stature and in Favor With God and Man.” He took up that period of the Christ’s life which is so sqfdom empljjsized from the pulpit; the adolescent and student age. from 12 to 30. Mr. McDaniel gave the evolution ists a bawling out, a dressing down add cautioned the girls to stand by the Bible from Genesis to Revela tions. Tho Interest of the Baptists in tile little bouf which tho funda mentalists are staging against evo lution nowadays seems keener than that of tho other denominations In this part of tho country. That doubt less is because of tho controversy which has involved Wake Forest college und others of the school of tho denomination. So far tin other denominations of the city hav gone ahead as usual without stat ing an argument. Announcement is made by tie Adjutant General’s office that the encampments of the National Guard of North Carolina will start July j, each unit going to camp for two weeks.

There Is still no announcement forthcoming or promise from W. Hart of Tarboro. member of the State Highway Commission frorp • the secend district, of his candidacy for Governor. It Is posihlo that it will not bo made; but unquestion ably numerous friends are trying In his behalf to ascertain tho tem perature of the water. What is generally referred to ns tho Old Guard Is ljnt altogether pleased with the progress being made by A. W. McLean, for whom it will cheerfully -work and vote against J. W. Bailey.. Mr. Bailey is making mo^st of tho speeches, get ting an unusual amount of publicity and in general attracting so much attention to himself that, ho has* the opposition worried. It is not being suggested that anybody - contem plates tho desertion of Mr. McLean; but tho bandwagoners wish very much that ho was nioro forceful on tho platform and a better hand at shaking hands.
