THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1918.- THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN The opportunity is now presented to the folks at home to show themsel ves as big as their boys overseas who are making the supreme sacrifice to safeguard American liberty. The fourth Liberty Loan drive is on and upon ev ery patriot is laid the obligation to en list with those who are serving for the honor of the nation and the freedom of men. And let us remember at the outset that the government is not beg ging, for Uncle Sam is no beggar. With his long right arm he could reacnr down into the pocket of every man iix the country and extract from it every cent. But he prefers a loan to secur ing funds by that method. It is proposed to place six billions of dollars in Liberty Bonds with the peo ple of the country between the 2Sth of September and the 19th of October. Of this vast sum North Carolina is -asked to subscribe for $39,900,000, more than twice the quota assigned to her in the third issue. She measured up to the expectations in the first, second and third loans and will not be found wanting when the campaign now on has been concluded. Patrio tism and determination is going to do the work and this county may be de pended upon to go "over the top" again. Let our folks take their place on the honor roll as they have been doing at every turn of the way since President Wilson and Secretary Mc Adoo asked for the first loan, by show ing the true American spirit. . North Carolina exceeded her quota of the Third Liberty Loan by inoie than twenty per cent. She wvs asked to take $18,651,000: the amount of bonds actually subscribed for was bove $22,000,000. Fifty-twd co mties oversubscribed and in twenty-Fix of Ihese every town, as well oa il2 ev.m ty .exceeded its allotment. This Mod town and county took an honored vo lition in Class One. We can do so again if we try. We must not fail. .SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT. There is but one governmental agen cy, one national instrument, through which the United States can wage war for the next two and a half years, and that is the administration which was placed in power at the last national election. r -Any weakening of the influence and prestige of the administration isa weakening of the political power and influence of this nation with other na tions a weakening of our war power. Our soldiers will fight- as bravely and efficiently, our sailors brave the dangers of the submarined seas with the same courage and success. But the political and moral strength of the nation's government, its power to Taring peace won by our fighting men, will be weakened by the defeat of the party of the administration. As Roosevelt said in 1898, other "na tions will look at our votes tills year from only one viewpoint. They will draw no fine distinctions. To Europe, the election of a Republican Congress this year would mean a divided, nation, a refusal to endorse and stand by the principles President Wilson has pro claimed as the principles of our na tion and the aims and purpose of our country. The United States, bv virtue f Ha manifested greatness and power, occu pies the commanding place in the' world today. Never before was it; so respected and admired for its- power and might, and never before has it sc commanded the confidence and hope of the world by reason of its stand for freedom and justice and right. President Wilson has a command ing, political and moral influence in the world outside of those nations with which we are at war, and even among their peoples there are millions who look to Mm for deliverance fron. war and famine and from oppression and misgovernment. It can have no other effect than tc hurt and lessen President Wilson's prestige and influence with the for eigr world for his party to meet defeat thk fall. It cannot but weaken his powe: .for good, for victory and peace, shoul-f his party be repudiated at" the poll; by the American people. How greatly can Democratic defea be used by his enemies, who are the enemies of the United States, and thf enemies of our soldiers lir France, ana ' die .enemies of peace and freedom ev erywhere, to discount his ability to ac complish that which all free people wislv accomplished. How powerful can Ms-party's defeat be used to dis parage and belittle his own standing and influence in his own nation, and how, convincing can they make it ap pear to their -own people and others that the people of the United States do not approve of, do. not stand for, and will not carry out those great principles which President Wilson has made the, cardinal principles, for which we and our allies fight, which he has made the ' passion and hope of Belgium and France and- Serbia and the war-worn peoples of all Europe. It matters not how well we at home may understand that the nation stands by the President regardless of the re sult of the Congressional election. Our politics this year is not a national af fair, but international, world-wide, of tremendous interest to all nations, and of supreme and vital importance to our allies, to Russia and the op pressed nationalities of Austria, to the people of all Europe. - In the true analysis the most effec tive way: to fully support our country and our soldiers at this time, is by full and unreserved support of the presi dent. The election of a Republican Congress would be construed by a large portion of the world, and partic ular by those over. whom the Presi dent's influence is most important, as n rpnii(iitinn of him and the principles nrinr,-nies of the free peoples of the world. No qualified support, no'half way support, no divid ed allegiance will serve. REVERENCE IX GOD'S HOUSE (From Biblical Recorder) Some time ago we had occasion to speak of the spirit of irreverence that seems to pervade our country at this time. All who have observed with any sort of care must be impressed with the irreverent utterances from the pul pit and in the press. Now, however, we desire to call at tention to a lack of reverence that is hot due to the war, but was in exis tence long before the war began. JPeo ple often gather in the house of God before time for the service to begin, and engage in conversation and laugh ter up to the moment tnat tEe preach er arises in the pulpit to announce the first hymn or the organist strikes the first note of the voluntary. As soon as the benediction is pronounced there is the hum of voices and the ring of laughter. The service, consisting of reading, songs, prayer and sermon, is sandwiched in between ther conversa tion and-' levity which 'precedes and follows it. . . That this detracts from the spirit of worship, cannot be doubted. To en gage in levitous conversation up to the moment the service begins Is no?, the best means for preparing ror wor ship, an dto take up some light topic for discussion immediately upon the conclusion ofthe service, has a tend ency to destroy any impression that may have been made. Baptists are, perhaps, more given to this conduct, which appears to- be lacking in reve'rence, than any other denomination. This is due, we, think, to the aversion of ourpeople to ritual ism and formality of worship. We be lieve in the freedom of the Spirit, and are anxious to avoid anything that might interfere with that freedom. All this is proper, but reverence in wor ship is not incompatible with the free dom of the Spirit, and we can be from formality without being levitous. Another thing which, in our opin ion, has much to do with the appar ent lack of reverence which we are here discussing, is the habit which some preachers have, of using the pul pit as a place of cheap jokes. This is done in order to "catch the crowd," but we do not believe it is necessary for that purpose. Levity in the pulpit is thought by some to be an effective protest against formality; but we can be free from formality without swing ing so far away as to engage in buff oonery. The writer has always re garded the preaching of the gospel as serious business, and believes that the effect of a sermon is often weakened, if not destroyed, by joking in the pulpit. In commenting on Dr. Hubert Pote at's article on modern hymns, iiie td- Litor of the Western Recorder attri butes the lack of reverence in our wor ship in part at least, to modern "rag time" music, and to the cheap witti cisms of many gospel singers ii; con ducting the song service in meetings. We heard recently of a service in a large Baptist church in the South in which the congregation broko oat In vigorous applause at the conclusion of a song. - These things do not comport -with our idea ofthe stately dignity that should characterize the worship of Je hovah. We have been led into th!s train of thought by conversation wilh a very accomplished lady who r had been reared in a-church in which there was much ritualism in the ser vice. While she was compelled, for conscience sake, to abandon that church because of its false teachings, and while she believes that the . pecu liar doctrines of our denomination cie more in accord with the teachings of the New Testament than any ;i . ot ier, she frankly said that she had often been shocked by the apparent lack of reverence in Baptist: churches. To j her worship means a real communion ' ClA onH wlion oho trnaa fntn Wis ' mui uvur mau av- w hoiise, she does not want any il.iu to turn her thoughts from Hiai in v. lose mame, and for whose worship, the congregation is supposed to meet "While we canont agree with all thatj brethren of other faiths hold, we should not eschew, whatever there is of good in their manner of worship,' and while Nwe should avoid formality in worship, as far as possible," we should be careful not to displace for malism by flippancy. "The Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth be silent before Him." . THE COST (Dedicated to the Fourth; Liberty r.
