Because birth registration is the only means of keeping an official record of a person's birth and is' the best proof of bis legitimacy, his descent, liis right to inherit and of the age for schooling, vot ing and marriage, it becomes probably the most important record of a man's life, and what is more such a record is becoming more and more important as our civilization advances. The time is almost here when a birth certifi cate will be required for almost every kind of service and occupa tion. With the adoption of some form of universal military service which our country will HOOU do, it will be this document that will determine the eligibility of a can didate for training. At the present time the United State# is devoid of uniform and complete records of the births of its citizens. As a result many patriotic young men have been kept out of the army and navy and from rendering to theii coun try the servico they desi-ed lie cause they were unable to furnish proof that they were of legal age and American citizens. During the European war it has been the birth certificate that baa saved many a person, Americans included, froin being killed as traitors. As a matter of fact, it is not safe to travel in any coun try without this legal authority of birth and citizenship It haa been predicted that during the recon struction days after the war (hat a record of a person's birth will be necessary for his welfare and safety. BCBSCRIBB FOB THB OLEA .EH IMS A YBAR ; , Revival at )he Methodist Church— Swope and Esk ridge, Evangelists. The tpeetioß at the Methodist church ia getting into full away. Large crowds are in attendance, and all seem to appreciate the aervices. Mr. Swope is a preacher of unuaual ability, and has a way of appealing to an audience that ia peculiarly hia own. He ia conceded to be the faateat speaker on the American platform, and must indeed think faßt to keep up wiib him. He handles his subjects in a masterly k way, showing deep atudy both of the scriptures and alao of human nature. He preaches a gospel that calla for a man to live his religion today. In hia opening sermon on "Supply and Demand" be made it clear to 'the church that he stood for a high standard of religion, and among other original statements he made the following: "I don't go much on that happi ness by and by unless it mixed up with spiritual happiness here and now." "I had rather be that old donkey that carried Christ into Jerusalem tban to be an old long, flop-eared church donkey with that long face." "A bald-headed man wears a wig because of his lack of hair, not be cause he has a fullsuit; a church member wears that long solemn look not because he has a real good case of rpjigion, but because of his lack of it." Ia speaking to the ladies of the congregation, Mr. Swope made it plain that the greater part of the work of the church is done by the women, and that they should have the praise for their stand for God, yet he dampened (heir enthusiasm a little when he said "God never made a she angel—they are all he's". In speaking to them about their duty to their daughters he said: "Mother, you give that daughter what she wants and all she wan's till she is sixteen and she will be a sight on wheels and will weed a wide row." Mr. Swope speaks in no uncertain terms about tin and seems to take special interest in the case of the backslider, some of his remarks concerning that class convulsed his audience with laughter on Sunday evening, he described them as the "toughest proposition that Uod or the church has ft deal with, and Gfcd alone can make anything out of (them." 4 Some of the characteristics of backslider he named as unci wan ness, swearing, stingy an J failure to appreciate the brotherhood o* man." In speaking of uncleanness he said, "A cow chews her cud be cause it is her natural instinct to do so, a man chews a ci:l aiJ it makes him naturally out stink to do so." "Some men are so stingy, so tight and soul so little, if s'mulct drop a blessing into tieir little soul they would 'bust' and (ioci would lose the hair and hide that he already has invest-d." In speaking of steering Mr. Swope said, "I would rather go to hell for stealing than go for swear ing, there is money in one and nothing in the other." It will be well wort'i fie time of all to hear this man, he has oeen described as "the silver or ator of the South," and seems to o able to uphold the name. Many hd\ e expressed apprecia tion of the work that Mr. Kskridge is doing with the churus, and much greater work could be don? if more voices were available. These services will continue for some days, at the church each evening at 7.45 and at the pictur.' show building each morning at 9.30 The Postofflce Depart ment has barred "chain letters" from the mailt*.

Cor. of The Gleaner. Elon College, May 21st.—The funeral of Mrs. Maggie Tate, relict of the late Samuel Tate, was held at Elou College from her late resi dence and also from the Cross ltoads Presbyterian church in South Alamance county today. Mrs. Tate was one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the College community and had lived hero since the foundation of the College in 1890. The family came here to educate their children and have lived here since. Mrs. Tate is survived by two children, Miss Mamie of the Col lege and one son, Mr. It.' O.

Wellons, the College pastors. The final funeral at Cross Roads church, where Mrs. Tate was a member, was conducted by Rev. D. E Sample, the pastor. The floral offerings were beauti ful, expressing the sincere affec tion of her boat of friends. The pall-bearera were Drs. E. E. Ran dolph, N. F. liranhock and W.

Greensboro has again led the State in the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, while Raleigh comes in for second place and Wilmington for third. Greens boro sold 114,(i57 seals, Raleigh 103,848 and Wilmington 90,040. The total number of seals sold in the State was 1,207,874, amount ing to $12,078.74, which is an in crease of 50 per cent, or $2,0.16.01 over the sale of last year. Of this amount $7,208.39 were kept in the State by the local com inittees or those selling the seals; $1,200.32 wae the amount sent to the National Association for the expense of the campaign, par ticularly for the printing and dis tribution of the seals, and with all other expenses paid, the net re ceipta of the 1910 campaign amounted to $2,035 77. "Aa glad aa we are to have this amount to help carry on the work of controling tuberculoaia in the State," says Dr. L B. Mcllrayer, "we believe that the educational value of the Campaign waa much greater. Lieutenant Governor Max Gardner said to ine recently that he believed that $75,000 was not too much to eatiinate the edu cational value alone of the aeal ampaign. That North Carolina won second place in her group of States selling almost one seal per capita, or .91)9 for the imputation of the State, is another source of eucouragement. We are now planning to hold our first meeting relative to the 1917 campaign in May or the llrst of June." MEXICAN PROGRAM The following is the program for the week beginning Monday, May 28.

C., May 22.-"The University is closing a remarkable year—one of success and achieve ment in every line," said President Edward Kidder Graham at the last gathering of the students of th • University of North Carolina. "Our athletic teams have mad; an enviable record," he continued, "ani our men in every field have brought honor to the University. The stu dent publications have been oetler this year than ever before: The very life of the institution has b 'en quickened by the magnitude ol World events.' Dr. Graham commended the Uni versity for the number of men she has given to the service country, there being over 300 active students and alumni of recent years who have gona to Oglethorpe and other departments of the service. Over half of the senior class has enlist ed. In closing he appealed to the col lege men to go home and engage in some productive enterprise which would help to relieve the present crisis. "May no man so lose himself in the whirl of eve/its," said Dr. Gra ham, that he will neither return to college nor enlist in the cause of his country." The opening of the SummT School is now only three we »ks off, and from the number of requests that are dally coming for rooms, It may be inferred that the attend ance this year will be unusually large. Over 2,000 prospective stu dents have written personal letters for information concerning courses, and more than 5,000 catalogues have been sent out. The first n.imber of the Summer School News, th paper of the Summer School came out last Saturda.f and gives latest information concerning courses and the various activities of the Summer School. The sesolop opens June 12th, and the administration is urging all to be on hand for the opening classes. The curriculum of the school this year has been broadened and every facility lias been provided for seri ous study. The courses in teacher training are particularly numerous, and also courses leading to the A. B. degree and to graduate credit, are especially strong. Musical en tertainments, plays and pngivints will afford recreation and ent rtain ment. Examinations ii* the University began the first of the week and will continue until the last of next week. Though over one hundred students have gone for military training, regular work has gone on without Interruption. "(liaiuhcrlalu'a Tablet* Have Done Sondcra I'or Me."
