Harper, President of Elon College, Sees Growing Crime and Vice Due to Death of Spiritual Conceptions. Chapel Hill, Aug. I.—The lower ing of moral standards and the wide spread tendency toward crime, "par ticularly as it finds its expression in the life of youth, who have been es pecially in these latter years im bued with the idea of mechanistic evolution," were ascribed by Dr. W. Harper, president of Elon College, delivering the second* series of ser mons of the union services in the Baptist church this morning, "as the mechanical theory of evolution that deprives man of his spiritual nature and bows God out of His universe." "Human Limitations on the Di vine" was Dr. Harper's theme. His text "was the 41st verse of the 78th Psalm. Dr. Harper, ascribed four limita tions which human history reveals men have placed upon the Divine — Limitation as to His character, limi tation in respect of His conduct, li mitation as to His willingness and as to His ability to communicate with His children, and limitation as to the destiny He has ordained for His universe of things and men. "The concepts as to God's nature," said Dr. Harper, "have marvelously influenced the life, conduct and pro gress of the human race. It is when we come into the New Testament and breathe the spirit of the Nazarene that we reach a conception of God that satifies the human spirit, in volving as it does the ideal relation ship, too, of man to man." Dr. Harper explained the three dis tinct and separate views that prevail as to the conduct of God. The first view conceives of God as a creator, who finished His work with the act of creation. "This view accounts for the slow plodding progress of the human race. The world lacked in spiration for growth and develop ment when it conceived of its God as an absentee potentate living in the j skies and walking not with men in their daily experience." i "Adherents of the second view," continued Dr. Harper, "have relied upon biology in science, behaviorism j. in pyschology and eterminism in re i ligion and on these bases have con ' structed a mechanical theory of evo lution that deprives man of his spiritual nature and bows God out of His universe. This view agrees with the former in the concept that the world can get along without God. It differs from it in the assertion that it has always gotten along with out God and that He was not neces ! sary as the Creative Agent or First Cause in the making of the universe. The direful consequences of this me chanical and materialistic view of the world and of man are begin ning to be felt in the lowering of moral restraints, the disintegration THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, AUG. 12, 1926. of the customs and conventions of life and society, and the widespread tendency toward crime." Proposing a remedy for "this de plorable situation in which we find ourselves," Dr. Harper said, 'we must face the future, removing from our concepts of God's conduct our preconceived notions as to His ab senteeism from the affairs of men, as is conceived either by the funda mentalist or by the atheistic evolu tionist. We must impress the third view as to God's conduct, that He is the builder of the universe and that He has worked from the beginning for the betterment of the world and continues to work to that end." "The most powerful force in the universe," concluded Dr. Harper, "is the concept which men enter tain respecting God. Their limita tions of Him have Seen their undo ing, and, as they have been able to break the bonds of any spiritual con cepts which limited the Holy One, they have been able to go forward by leaps and bounds. We cannot but be convinced that humanity owes more of its progress and de velopment to the orientation of God in human life than to any other force, power, or influence. What the future holds for the human race no dreamer is able to forecast, be cause the progress of the race in the future as its achievement in the past, is absolutely and unconditionally de pendent upon the removal of our hu man limitations from the Holy One." ICE CREAM SUPPER West End, Forest City, Aug. 9. — There will be an ice cream supper, sponsored by the Pleasant Grove Missionary Society on the lot be tween Messrs. B. Z. McDonald's and Curtis Weir's stores, Saturday even ing, August 14. Proceeds to go to Scarritt College, an institution for training missionaries. The public is cordially invited to come out and patronize these ladies in their ef forts to raise money for a good cause. REV. JOE SINCLAIR MARRIED IN DALLAS Rev. Joe W. Sinclair, well known young Baptist minister of this coun ty, and for the last two years a' stu dent of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at Dallas, Tex., was recently married to Miss Rhoda Bohannon, in Dallas, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. R. F. Mc- Donald. Rev. H. E. Fowler, pastor of East Grand Avenue Baptist church officiated. DAIRYING NOW POPULAR WITH MOUNTAIN FARMERS Raleigh, Aug. 9. —Within a period of from five to ten years the great mountain territory of Western North Carolina will become one of the leading dairy sections of the coun try. This is the opinion of John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist of State College who has completed a rather extensive trip over the terri tory, 'inferring with many farmers and attending several meetings called in the interest of dairying. The opening; of the butter plant of the Carolina Creamery at Franklin, in Macon county, was attended by about 500 leading farmers of Macon and adjoining counties. The sentiment of these men was that dairying will con tinue to grow as a source of farm income. The same was true in the case of the 800 or more growers who attended the annual picnic of the Henderson-Buncombe Cow-test ing Association, at Horse Shoe. Jackson county, one of the pro gressive and fertile counties of Western Carolina, has made an ef fective beginning by putting in 16 pure-bred Jersey bulls and 86 pure bred -.cows. This movement was fi nanced by business men of Sylva co operating with farmers of the county. Other counties are rabidly building up their cow population and some j of the old time confirmed beef growers are beginning to take an in terest in dairying. Mr. Arey states that the rich pas tures, the cool climate, the abun dance of fine springs and the natu ral aptitude of the people for hand ling livestock will have much to do the mountain country turning to dairying. He looks forward to the time when this region will be a great supply section for the milk and but ter needed in North Carolina and the south. The opening up of the terri tory with good hard-surfaced roads has made the transportation of milk cream and butter an easy problem | and the farmers are realizing that I their lands can better be utilized ! for pasturage than for growing crops. •- SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURIER DOCTORS OF SEVEN STATES SEE DAM Notable Gathering Of Phy sicians Guests Of Lake Lure. Chimney Rock, Aug. 9.—Repre senting practically every southern state, there gathered at Lake Lure during the latter part of the week a notable delegation made up of physicians and their families at tending the pediatric clinics now be ing held at the baby hospital con-1 ducted by Dr. Le Seyrte Smith at Saluda.

C. 20 is progressing rapidly, and over a completed portion of which the party rode, refreshments were en joyed at Lake Lure tea room with Mrs. Paul L. Holland as hostess.
