ELOQUENT ADDRESS
VADE BY MR. HUSKE
Txeellmi Mume by the Combined
Choirt of ike City, an Enjoy
able Feature.
An excellent address by Rev.
B. F. Hoik? of New Bern, de
lightful mutio by the combined
choirs of Washington churches
and ?n attendance which filled
the lane auditorium to the doors,
were all features that made the
oommenosnent servieee at the
High School, auditorium last
night, one of the most interesting
and enjoyable that ha* ever been
held in this city.
Seldom, if ever, ha a more elo
quent address been heard than
that deliver?! by Mr. Huske, ree
tor of Christ Church at New
Bem. He took is his subject,
"True Greatness" and dealt with
it in the clear, masterly manner
oX the perfeat orator.
"We are gathered here to wish
"God ?peed to those who are *?
bout to go forth into the world
and combat with life's difficulties
and obstacles," riie_began. "It is
beyond my power to cipres? the
privilege it is to me to address
you here tonight. What is true of
these young men nd young women
ie trne of all of tis for, like them,
we are always casting behind an
old life, old works and old labors
and beginning row ones.
"I ?m reminded of the itory
of a crippVed boy who lived in one
ad the port citua of Mais. He
was usable Ho walk a* jday ox
i^rktiid 3iytin?t
ting on the docks and watching
the vessels as they wiled out of
the port, bound for foreign lands.
And as each one passed him, he
would call out, "Good luck to you
captain 1 Good luck to your
crew I" And as we see these
young persons here, about to em
bark on the journey of life, I am
sure that I voice the sentiment
of all gathered here when I say:
"Good luck to yon, young men
and women, may success bo
youra." '
"What I desire to speak of
tonight ia "true greatness,
Christian greatness. The world
ha* different views a* to what oon
stitistas greatness, but we must
not tako the world's standard of
greatness as our guide, wo must
'take the standard of Jesus Christ,
who said that true greatness lies
in service?in doing, in accom
plishing something "for our fel"
low men. -?
"If you'll only take the stand
ard and doctrine of Jesus Christ
as your example, you and I can
attain true greatness, you and 3
can make life worth living, yo
,and I can be of use to tho wo'M
and make it a better one.
"There ia a law of greatness;
it ia not a matter of chance, nor a
?ecrot which ia revealed but to a
few. The law is for ns to receive
our greatness from God and then
use thee? gifts_?nd talents snd dis
tribute thorn among our fellow
HMD. We nrasrt go out among
mankind and miu our brethren,
contribute our arrengtb and gifts
for the betterment and advanoe
of mankind. How pitiful Is
hr who do? not want God'? aid,
or who doaa not maka use fo the
wbioh art bestow ?d wpon
"And too, young men and wo
man, will hara abundant strength
for the work that Ilea before yon.
If you but realiae that your
?treugth eomea from God, and I
cannot close with nun* telling
word* than by aaaurtng yon that
Hs wlU provide you imh an a
hundance of atraagth with whiah
to eontand against the dlflmiMaa
the troubles and the worries that
?re hound to erne* ymir path*."

CONGRESSMAN SMALL WRITES
ON NORFOLK-BEAUFORT ROUTE
Congressman John II. Small in
the April Bulletin of the Atlantii
Deeper Waterway Association
writes moat interestingly with rcf
ereneo to the intercoastal water
way from Norfolk to lieanfort.
Believing* that our rcadfers will
bo interested in what the congre.? i
man has to say on the subject v
publish his letter in full below.
He says:
"The River and Hatbor Art
approved duri npr the closing days
of the recent session of Congress
contains ati item authorizing a re
examination of tho link in the in
lorongstal waterwav from Norfolk
iVr., to Beaufort Tjttef, TS.'C. "To
(the many friends and advocates
of the intcrcoastal waterwav a
word of explanation may be appro
T?nate. The insertion of this i
tem had not met the approval
of tho River and Harbor Com-1
ir.ittec of fhe ITouse of Represen
htiroo .or of tho Committee of
Commerce of tho Senate. being
the two committees having; juri*"
,diction of river and harlv.r annro
rrintions. but was "the result of
the insistence of Senator Burton
o! Ohio. During tho recent -short
s? #*ion of Conirres??. any Senator,
under tho rules of tho Senate.
con M have talked the River and
liarlmr Hill to death, and in or
di.r to injure the paanage of a
hill, both committees reluctantly
yielded to this distinguiahud Sen
ator.
The two committees wore fur
ther induced to yield because no
Miltftuutia] injury to the project
\v?iiihi result. The project of the
Norfolk Beaufort Inland Water
way was adopted in accordance
with the report of the engineers
iu the River and Harbor A,ct of
1012, and up to thia Hajl there
had lieen appropriated tin con
struction the sura of |1,1m),000.
The authorisation for to exami
nation will not interfere 4nth~
the work on this waterway now
T>merging and will not prevent
an allotment of its further im
provement out of the lump sum
appropriation contained in the
lr it Kiver and Harbor Act. Fur
ther. it is not. assumed for a mo
ment that the engineers will re
verse themselves in any subse
quent report; in fart, there
' strong ground for the statement
flint another report will only serve
t ? emphasize the importance of
this project. One result of the
naval operations in the present
Fiimpean war ha* been to en"
Hanco the importance of the snb
ir.urine. Their efficiency in coast
defense will depend in larsre do
upon the ability to mobilize
.?submarines quickly at any given
port upon the Atlantic sealx>ard,
and the construction of this water
way and of the other links furn
ish the only practical means for
the effective use of submarine?.
It may be added that there is
not tiie slightest necessity of any
further investigation of the link
from Norfolk to Beaufort. Th??re
have been at least three survevs
and examinations of the samo by
special Boards of Engineers will
in the pjist fifteen years, and the
reports in each instance have been
entirely favorable.
The advocates of the intercos
tal waterway alone the Atlantic
seaboard havo only to continuo
the prosecution of their pmpapar
da. No disinterested student of
waterways has ever studied this
prest project without reaching n
favorable conclusion. Critics and
cvnics may arouse temporarily
the attention of muckrakcTs, but
they rannot. permanently impair
tlw merits of worthy projects or re
itard waterway improvements as
j HTi efficient arm in our system of
transportation.
