"What is the chief end of God?" and
would have answered it, "To glorify
man and enjoy him forever." And
Mr. Shore proved his thesis that man
is the greatest work of God, a little
lower than God, not a little lower
than the angels, as it is sometimes
read.
"Jesus Christ is the fullness of the
Goodhead bodily, and ye are com
plete in him."
Three things determine the great
ness of man, said the preacher: The
greatness of his creation, the great-
i ness of his redemption, the great
ness cf his character.
Greatness of his creation: God
never made a world or a flower in
his own moral image. He made man a
little lower than God, as His crown
ing work.
Greatness of his redemption: The
greatness of the sacrifice God made
to save man. The only way God
could save man was to offer up his
own Son as a sacrifice. If man could
have been saved by sacrificing the
world God would have done it.
Greatness of his character: The
only part of God's world of which
character is predicated is man. Men

How would we treat Jeremiah if
he went weeping through our streets
today? How would we treat any of
the prophets? We'd treat them like
they treated them before the days
of Christ.
God wants men in every profession.
The preacher paid a passing tribute
to the fourth estate, saying he thank
ed God that the men who are mold
ing public sentiment in newspaper
offices are usually found on the right
side of every moral question.
It was a powerful sermon that
made a profound impression upon his
hearers.
Never Starts a Movement Until

mon by Rev. J. H. Shore.
"I don't want to be an angel. When
I was a small boy I was taught to
sing 'I want to be an angel and witrT
the angels stand', but I don't teach
my children to sing it. We some
times hear the song 'Oh to be nothing,
nothing, nothing', but I'm never going
to sing that song. We are too much
inclined to be nothing anyway."
Rev. J. H. Shore, presiding elder

ist church here a week ago last night
when he brought his congregation
sharply to attention right at the start
by the statement in the paragraph
above. And he kept the undivided
attention of his hearers to the end.
It was a powerful sermon.
His subject was "Wanted: A Man";
his text, "Ye have not gone up into
the gap, neither made up the hedge
for the house of Israel to stand in
like God. Discoveries are only men
th'r!:inrr God's thoughts.
Mr. Shore does not take any stock
in predictions of the world coming
to an end. The world is not coming
to an end until man puts under sub
jection every force in nature, he said.
God works with man to help man to
bring all things under his subjection.
And yet people waste time over giddy,
meaningless things!
The scarcest thing in America, the
scarcest thing in North Carolina, is

Tariff Differences to be Determined
at Coming Session of Congress.
Washington Whether there re
mains today any fundamental differ
ence between the Republicans and
Democrats wrll be determined largely
in the comirg session of CongTess.
in fact, caucus of House Democrats
on April 9, will reflect the tariff
policy of the Democratic party, and
the tariff has been lor years the
greatest issue between the two old
line parties.
At this party confab the House
Democrats will select a minority floor
leader, who will be Representative
Claude Kitchen, of North Carolina,
and gives some one, probably Mr.
Kitchen, the empty nomination for
speaker in a Republican House,
However, that will be an easy task
compared to an agreement as to the
party policy regarding the tariff and
revenue legislation proposed for the
special session by the Republican ma
jority. With new conditions seen all
over the world, the Democrats must
determine whether they will stand up
on their historic principle of a"tariff
for revenue only and partial free
trade; or whether at last thejrare will
tection" to American industrial and
agriculture.
When the Fordney emergency agri
cultural tariff bill was pending in the
house a few weeks ago . )t was sup
ported by some 40 Democrats. This
group has since been subjected to
criticism by old-fashioned Democrats
who still cling to the old tariff prin
ciples of the party. They insisted
that a Democrat had no business
voting for a protective tariff measure
at any time and a tariff for revenue
should be the motto in and out of season.
Representative John Garner, of
Texas, who ranks next to Mr. Kitchen
on the Democratic side of the ways
and means committee, was one of the
Democrats who supported the far
mers' protective tariff bill offered by
the Republicans. This put Mr. Gar
ner "in bad" with certain of his col
leagues and it is said that one reason
Mr. Kitchen will hold to his place on
the 'ways and means committee, at
the same time holding the minority
floor leadership, were the protests
that met the suggestion that Mr.
Garner was to be elevated to the
position of ranking Democrat.
The fact that Garnfer supported
the Fordney bill, the old-time Demo
crats alleged made it rather impera
tive that Kitchen should stay on the
committee and help keep the party
policy straight. Theodore Tiller in

Baltimore, Md., March 31. James

Vivian!
Washington, March 31 M. Viviani
when he saw President Harding yes
terday made an impassioned appeal
that this country should come to the
aid of Europe to prevent utter col
lapse there. M. Viviani is a great
orator and he painted in most eloquent
and moving words the desperate
situation in which France finds it is
facing ruin and unable to collect
damage from Germany.
France has been counting upon the
$5,000,000,000 reparations which are
due under the treaty on May 1. Ger
many has said she cannot pay.
France's budget exceeds enormously
her revenue. Last year she sold bonds
to meet the deficit. This year she
cannot do so.
Viviani's plea had nothing to do
with the cancellation of debts. It is
understood that the concrete sugges
tion he had to make was the creation
of a credit for Germany in this coun
try which would flow from this coun
try to Germany and thence to France
to meet the first five billions repara
tions which come due on May 1.
M. viviani described France as bled
white by the war. He spoke of her
as bearing the full brunt of the great
war which saved civilization. He
described her as being sti.l the out
post of civilization.
He described the dangers of the
world that would follow the collapse
of France, the threat of Russian
communism and possibly boishevisjn.
The effect of what he .said is described
as profound.
If such a credit as is suggested
above is impossible France has ac
complished the purpose of getting itj
case for this country's sympathy be
fore the administration. Morally in
view of what has been said it be
comes more difficult for this country
to make a separate peace w.lh Ger- ,
many and to pass the Knox resolu
tion, i
Also when France is forced to take
new oercive steps against Germany
after May 1 on the ground that the
present measures to compel Germany
to pay it will be difficult for this
country to assume a critical attitude.

Southern Bell Must Furnish Figures.
The Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company asking for a rate
increase approximating 23 per cent in
its North Carolina exchanges, re
ceived a rude jolt in tne closing hour
of its hearing before the Corporation
Commission yesterday shortly after
ireon when Commissioner A. J. Max
well asked' for a showing of profits
of the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company in North Carolina
and indicated not the slightest dis
position to let the petitioner get by
with immense returns of compelling
importance as a rate making factor,
not co unted.
The proposal from the bench fol
lowed four days of hearing by the
petitioner during which time the com
pany's experts have dazed and dazzled
by the intricacy of their effense and
brilliancy of their defense. But Vice
President and Treasurer J. M. B.
Hox8ey, the pride of the staff, was
unprepared for Commissioner Max
well's move. He didn't have the
figures, sought to draw the fire from
the target, and Hunt Chipley, counsel,
came to his rescue, commissioner
Maxwell stood firm, met arguments
with argument, paired parallel with
a closer parallel, took his stand on
the platform that the petitioner has
already erected and wou'd not be
budged. The Southern Bell will fur
nish the figures. Raleigh News and

IN spite of the old proverb, it IS sometimes
too late to mend. When plates are buckled

Don't let it get that far. Drive around to

result disastrously if not remedied.

Living in a "house" detracts from the pleasure of living,
while a home of your own makes life more worth while.
"A home of your own has many ( advantages. Owning
your home gives you a real interest in your community. It
