Earnhardt, president of Louisburg College. He spoke 011 the value of the church through the ages. He said that ^during every period of history the church was the whitest thing in exis tence." With t'his as his thesis he spoke in his unique manner, say ing what a power each church is in its community. He said t'hat the church has its weakness but must we condemn any great institution because of a weakness. He used this illustration to make his point clear. While visiting in a home the speaker had seen a young boy find a piece of foreign matter in the milk. The lad took his knife and lifted the matter from the glass of milk. Instead of taking a chair and smashing the milk he took the defect outi and drank the milk. We must treat the church in this way and not smash it, was the advice of Dr. Earnhardt. This address was very encour aging and inspiring to every one present. The local community people always enjoy having Dr. Earnhardt and a warm welcome awaits him at all times.
