Every organ of the

the nerves.
When they’ re out of j

AGREES WITH EVANGELIST HAM
' Denies Statement Attributed to the
Raleigh Preacher.
Editor Record:—Mr. Ham did not
say those who danced and went in
swimming pools were liars or enuichs.
But he did say that if a man went to
these modem dances we have today,
and take a good looking woman in his
arms and hug her up, as they do* an( *
when it is all over if he said that
nothing but clean, wholesome, and re
ligious thoughts entered his mind
while he was in this woman’s arms
or her in his arms, “that he was a
; liar or a enuich one.”
! Now, these good men you know,
who are married men and have fam
ilies of their own, go to them and ask
them if they would be willing for one
of their daughters to go to one of
these modern dances, that we have
all over the country today, and be
hugged up in some young man s
arms or worse still in some married
mans’ arms? .
If he would permit this, then God
pity him and I am sorry for his
daughter, that she has not a real
Christian father.
Now there are a lot of good, moral
men in this country today, and no
doubt these men you refer to are
some of them.
I would like to know how any
j Christian man could support or con
i tribute to the sustenance of such dam
| liable things as our modem dances
and public swimming pools. These two
things are ruining our young people
faster than any other one thing today.
Now, these “good men” as you
term them, have never contribut
ed to the statutory negligence of any
woman. I wonder how many young
men ancl young women they have
been a stumbling block for, (as Paul
says in Ist Cor. 8, 9-13?) and caused
them not to be better men and women
than they are. Os course they may
not cause it directly, but indirectly.
No doubt there are several who know
the good men you refer to and have
said or thought: “Well, Mr. A. does
these things ,and he is a good man,
so it must be alright for me to do
the same thing.”
Don’t you think it better for a real
Christian to stay off the dance floor
and out of the swimming pools and
have some one say: “Mr. A. does
NOT dance or go to the swimming
pools, it must not be just right so
I had better not do it either?”
Or would you like to be in the place
of the Judge up in Virginia who was
about to sentence a young man for
murdering one of his friends in a
card game. The young man was ask
ed if he had anything to say, he re
plied: “Yes, your honor, your daughter
is just as guilty of this murder as I ,
am for it was her who taught me :
how to play cards and in your own
parlor at that.”
I say this in conclusion. Let your
life be so lived that no one can point
at you and say. “he did it and I
thought it was alright..”
But they can say I want to be like
Mr. A. He is a good Christian man. In
other words you can be like the fruits
you bear. Lead someone to Christ in
stead of to the Devil on your dance
floor.
YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST.
Raleigh, N C., March 29, 1924.
(The foregoing letter is in reply to
the views as expressed by one of our
correspondents, and the writer above
! makes a reply to the Record. As to
i the accuracy of the statement by the
| preacher, we leave that to our cor
respondent, but we must say that we
have very little patience with the
sensationalism of the modem evange
list. There ’is no more harm t in good,
wholesome exercise at a bathing pool,
or on the dance floor than can be at
tributed to other means of pleasure,
except perhaps the “modern” dance,
and these can be regulated by law.
If it were not possible for men and
women to associate together in a
spirit of high regard for one another j
then this world would be in one more j
bad fix; we would be worse than the j
beast of the field and the varmint of
the forest; neither would a man be
safe in embracing sister or mother,
father or brother. There can be the
same respect for womankind and the i
same distinction with sex, if a man j
has the love of God in his heart. “An i
evil mind, evil thinketh.” We ground l
our religion on the faith of Moses and
the prophets, and not on the sensa
tional red flag of some distorted
mind, and our thoughts are never so j
lascivious but they can easily be
converted into the proper channel.

criticizing the Newspapers.
Criticizing the home newspaper is !
the favorite pastime of a large ma- i
jority of the people.
Like public officials, what it says ,
and what it does are constantly be- j
fore the public, and its errors are
easily detected.
An individual may go through life
making one mistake after another,
and a few will know it, but let your
newspaper err in even a small detail
and the critics have a choice morsel
to chew.
Newspapers, though mechanical,
are human, because they are con
ceived by human mind and put to
gether by human bands.
They are as liable to error as any
man or woman and their opportuni
ties for making mistakes may be
found in every line—in every word.
A wrong street address, incorrect
spelling of names, little inaccuracies
may creep into the newspapers’ col
umns, no matter how earnestly the
editor and his assistants may strive
to be accurate.
All your home newspaper asks is
that you be charitable. Make a few
allowances for the difficulties that be
set the newspaper publisher, and re
member alwavs, that nothing hurts a
1 newspaper editor quite so much as to
see his mistakes in print.
He has no chance to cover them up
The printed word can’t be erased.
Don’t forget that newspaners are
made bv human minds and human
hands and to err is human.

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,
If her Ford won’t go, then walk she

One of our citizens marvels be
cause such good care is taken to keep
auto radiators from freezing, but a
woman will go right out with practi
cally- denuded ankles in the bitterest
of breezes.
This sentence is for the neighbors
to correct: “He is such a good little
' thing,” said the fond mother, “and
he very seldom cries at night.”
“Here’s one place I won’t shine,”
sighed the flapper as she powdered
her nose.
Moderns are careless; they’ll go

FOUND DEAD SATURDAY.
Early Saturday morning the body
; of Enoch Clark, was found lying be
side a road in Hadley township by
i Mr. Fred Thrift.
Mr. Clark, it seems, had been on a
visit to a neighbor’s Friday after
j noon and on his return home it is
i thought he had an attack of vertigo
! and fell from his mule, where he_lay
all night in the rain.
He was 74 years old and never had
been married. He lived alone and was
in verv poor circumstances.
No inquest was held over the re
mains as Coroner Brooks thought it
was unnecessary.
DWELLING HOUSE BURNED.
The dwelling house of Mr. W. L.
Cashion, who lives on route 1, Mon
cure, some four miles south of that
place, was burned to the ground one
afternoon last week and nearly all of
the contents were also lost. The fam
ily is now living in a house near the
scene of the fire.
Mr. Cashion is the father of Miss
Nellie Cashion, who is the stenog
rapher at the Record office.
