NO. 9 BAPTIST SOLUTION Resolved by the First Baptist church of Hendersonville that we strenuously denounce the article appearing in one of our city pa pers the past week advocating the re-enactment of the street dance in our city; that we place the stamp of our disapproval upon the street dance and pledge the whole strength and influence r of our church against airy and all tjnovemen'ts to re-enact the shame- . -fill and '-disgraceful scenes ,'thaJt took place upon our streets last summer; -and that we condemn any organization, official body . or administration that permits or tolerates such performances. Dr. L. B. Morse's advocacy of the military street dance, as given in the Hustler last week, did not find yery warm endorsement in church circles last Sunday, but incurred righteous indignation and condemnatory action, Tho Methodists and Baptists pounc ed upon the idea in its infancy and ! just about left it in a stage of strang ulation. The First T3aptist Baraca class and Sunday school and the Men's Bible class of the Methodist Sunday school and the Methodist and Baptist churches in special conferences vigor ously assaulted the idea and resolved in quite condemnatory terms a'gainst the proposed military street dances. Methodiit Action. The Men's Bible class spent -a good portion of its class period in discuss ing and going on record against the proposed street dances and following this a church conference was held and the resolution given herewith was adopted. Dr. F. V. Hunter, opened the dis cussion in conference and other talks were made by Rev. Raymond Brown ins:, C. F. Bland, J. O, Johnson and Vance Norwood. They took the posi- tion that the attitude of the; church on dancing was too well known to re quire discussion of the issue, but took occasion to re-iterate their convic tions in the. matter and the Utit avorsr ble light in which the street dances of ! last year were held. The idea was expressed that the church favored en tertainment ofthe soldiers and the doing of everything in reason for them but that the things to be -done in their behalf should be of a more wholesome character than the street dances.

We as a church 'stand definitely opposed to such amusement as -being wrong and sinful. Therefore be it resolved: That we petition the Mayor and City Council of Hen dersonville, to prohibit this of fensive and harmful form of en tertainment on the streets of our city.

STEWART Secretary. turn toward the Board of Trade, and its president, Mr. Bland ,took occa sion .to defend this organization against any attacks or unfavorable criticism in this respect by saying that the Board of Trade had not consider ed the military street dance and that ' the organization could not be held re sponsible for Dr. Morse's ideas. He added that Dr. Morse's intentions were good and that he meant to do good rather than harm by advocating the dance. Baptist Action. The Baraca class of the Baptist Sunday school had quite a lively dis-' cussion-of the matter aud "passed -3 resolution condemning the . street-: dancer The matter -was brought -up in Sunday school and its superinten dent, Noah M. Hollowell,--also editor j of the paper publishing Dr. Morse's article, in order to place himself in the proper light against any criticism for publishing thearticle, stated that the paper was only fulfilling its pur pose or mission in publishing the news and claimed no responsibility for the views Of others, neither did he endorse all things his duties as a newspaper man called on him to pub lish; that his "personal views on the question were so pronounced as to be obnoxious and that in his opinion consistent Baptists could not be oth- t erwise than opposed to dancing of any kind. Without further discussion a res olution somewhat milder than that adopted by the Baptist church but strenuously opposed 0 street dances was unanimously adopted. Church" Takes Decided Action. Following the regular church" ser vices a conference of the church was called. Judge O. V. F. Blythe intro- , duced the resolution given above. J. j. fempman stated tftati the attitude of consistent Baptists was too well es tablished against such things to re quire discussion but he deemed that a few remarks would not bye inappro priate. He said that he heartily fa vored any desirable advertising for Hendersonville but he did not relish the kind that would come from street dancing as he could see no good that could come from a dance. He said that it was enough to arouse the righteous indignation mof Christians to have a "dance going" on almost in front of the church during church services and close with a disgraceful street fight as was the case near the Baptist church during one of its pray er meetings last summer. He said that dances resulted in the downfall of women and it behooved every Bap tist to strenuously oppose the street dances. liiXcept for an occasionakL amen" there was marked silence during Mr. Shipman's talk, which im pressed deeply those who heard him i da w tufcii muiviuiiai responsiDimy as Baptists in relation to the .matter un der consideration. s Without remarks from others th church unanimously adopted the res olution as read ,by Judge Blythe. Board of "Trade's Attitude.- When seen Monday by a Hustler ! representative with reference to the intimations that the Board of Trade was fostering the idea of the street dance, its secretary, A. S. Truex, said: "The Board of Trade has not even considered this street dance proposition In fact, it has never been brought up be fore the Board. . " . "Hearing of some criticism of Trade, or not, I rc-read the newspaper article ref erre dto. I find no mention made of the Board of Trade and no intima tion that street dances were be ing considered by. our organiza tion. "I have no inclination vjo dis cuss the. street dance proposition. Personally, l am net at all inter ested in the matter. ."Every member of our organi , zation has equal fights in voting on all propositions that come up in our meetings,' ' - HENDERSONS f : JE, N.

' William Booth, have been in progress since Sunday and are creat ing considerable interest, his second service being featured with, an at tendance which the seating calacity of the First- Baptist church building would not accommodate. The initial service of what will be a two weeks campaign was held Sun day, afternoon, when the attendance was large, but the number presents the Sunday night service was much larger and all who went to hear this world-famed evangelist, who hasNdur ing his notable career addressed au diences of 20,000 to 30,000 in some of the Nlargest auditoriums '.of the world, were not able to secure seats. Dr. Booth always draws the crdwds, for he- always has something inter esting to say. He says it in an in teresting way and this way is con vincing and -finally there is convic tion, hence the larsre number, who Niave found Christ through his mes sages. - . Dr. Booth has a style of preaching that'is generally termed original. He is dramatic. ' He takes Biblical he roes, revives them, talks with . them and acquaints them with present day conditions and acquaints those now living with the old characters and .their customs. Dr. Booth is not sensation al but rather dramatic. He delivers his messages with freedom and does not hold himself -to written notes nor to any one spot on the" pulpit plat form. A large space is cleared on the platform before he begins to de liver his message and if he can best illustrate his message by free move ment he does not hesitate to occupy the whole platform. Although Dr. Booth sprinkles his messages, with a little humor, toe does not resort to it as f requently Vgs many evangelists, but his hearers cannot buthelp smile when he resorts to his burlesque style of depicting andim - a: i x. .. - - .. personating characters. Dr. Booth, has some, splendid help ers in. the person -of his nephews, Rev." Eric and Theodore-- Booth-Clibbom. The former succeeded' Dr. Booth and arranged for the meeting. He is musr ical director and he an dhis brother who is a violinist of talent, comes in for good service as a member of the orchestra and in rendering pleasing violin solos. A delightful feature of the music is the part of, the. orchestra, which is HIGH1Y THIS ilYUKEL' (By Dr. L. B. Morse.) A most important and highly en thusiastic meeting of representative citizens, county commissioners and road enthusiasts between Knoxville, Tennessee, and Augusta, Ga., was held in Asheville on Thursday, March 14, 1918. The meeting was called for the purpose of perfecting a plan to secure the mapping of the new scenic' division of the Dixie Highway from Knoxville to Savannah, which change is easily seen by the accom panying map' of the Dixie Highway. A very full representation 1 wa? present and probably a more spirited good roads meeting has never yet been held in Western North Carolina. i The interest was absolutely unani- 4m6u3 in the proposed scenic division and throughout the entire route the people representing the many coun ties concerned gave verbal assurance that their respective counties would gladly cooperate with the Dixie High way association "in bringing their j roads up to the proper standards. j Without hardly a single exception ! the Tironosed road is at tTf nresetit : time in most excellent traveling con- ! jdition, there being perhaps not more j tnan two links wherein some extra work will have to be done, one being in- Cox county, Tennessee, and the other the" lower stretch of South Car olina, where there is yet some uncer tainty as to just the proper location of the road. In the main, however, the body bf men present felt that they were bringing to the, Dixie Highway association for the -latter accept ance, a highway that was practically completed. . In order to have fche matter in very definite shape it-was the sense of the meeting that on or about April 15 ,a trip should be made over the entire route .by representatives along the lne, accurately. logging the road, -setting forth the distances, conditions of the road bed, etc. From the data ob tained a very accurate map is. to be made with which data will be accom panied by proper -guarantees made by the various county road authorities, all of which is to be presented at the annual meeting of the Dixie Highway association, whichis to , take place about, the--middle of May in-Chatta-.

On next Sunday afternoon Dr. .Booth will deliver his popular, world-famed address, "The Wiles of The Devil," which' thousands have heard in vari ous countries during the travels of Dr. Booth across : the Atlantic 47 times and around the world three times. ,. .
