There is published in our news
letter this week a set - of resolu
tions by the East Durham Bap
tist church on the departure of
Rev. M. P. Davis who has ac
cepted the pastorate of the Au
larder Baptist Church. Brother
Davis is no stranger to this' As
sociation, having previously
served here as - pastor of Cole
raine and other churches in Ber
tie county. He has been a fre
quent visitor to our church at
conventions and associations, and
always took a leading part in
whatever work was to be done
to further the cause'of Christian
ity. Brother Davis is regarded
as being one of the best pastors
the association and we are fortu
nate in securing him. Already
he has won the co-operation of
his members and his work here
promises to result in great good
to this chureh. Brother Davis
preached Wednesday evening
for the special meeting of the
Ladies Missionary Society and
while taking the place of anoth
er speaker who was expected.
his discourse was one of the
strongest we have heard. On
this occasion he preached on the
Omnipotence, the Omnipresence
of God and his sermon was a
power. As this letter goes to
press Bro. Davis wilk be in the
midst of a revival service in his
new charge and a good meeting
is anticipated.

Freeman were guests of the La

A large crow(d of citizens met
on last Wednesday and Thurs
day mornings to work the roads
in this section. A force was dis
patched in each direction with
shovels, hoes, axes, conveyances
and lumber. All the bridges
were repaired, manv of them be
ing made new, holes were filled,
ditches were dug, and other im
provements made. Under the

The following has been re
ceived from the Conference of
the East Durham Baptist church:
Whereas, Bro. M. P. Davis, a
member of this conference for
three years and a half during
his pastorate of our East! Dur
ham church, has seen fit to re
move from Durham to Aulandar
in this state, be it ResoIved;First
That this conference express its
deep regret at the departure of
Bro. Davis. During his residence
here we have found him to be a
true christian, a loyal Baptist, a
yoke-fellow, a wise counselor
and brother indeed. Bro. Davis
most conspicuous .work for the
denomination at large during his
stay in Durham was accomplish
ed as Chairman of the Executive
committee of our District' Asso
ciation. During the two years
which he served in this capacity
the mission work in this territo
ry was gotten in the best shape
its has ever been and this result
was largely Mlue to his efforts
The work of Brof Davis for the
denomination outside of his own
church was largely done in the
capacity of counselor and direct
or who worked when only a few
could know what he really was
doing. So he will be missed by
the denomination without mftny
realizing just what is lacking.
But each member of this confer
ence only too well know some-
thing of the extent to which Bro!

The teachers of the State will
be granted holiday without loss
of my. . November 28th, Friday
of Thanksgiving week, in order
to tenable them to attend the
North Carolina Teachers' Assm
blywhich holds session in Ral
eigh November 26th 29th, if the
request of State Superintendent
J. y. Joyner and that of Secre
tary Sams, of the Teach
ers' Asssmbly, is granted by the
city and county boards of educa
tion". . .';
The officers of the Assembly
have sent 'out a circular letter to
all the school boards and com
mittees, with the earnest request
that this holiday be granted.
They call attention to the Bpleud-
id sesoioA of the Assembly last
year, neid at the same time,
which was attended by over 1.-
200 teachers of the State and
proVed of great inspiration and
practical benefit to them in the
work of, their profession, and at
which time a majority of the
boards of trustees allowed the
teachers to attend without loss
of pay. -V
The opening session of the As
sembly is" ; Wednesday evening.
November'26th. A great major
ity of the teachers of the State
can reach Raleigh Wednesday in
AH I
time 'or this session, leaving
theiryhomes after, the close of
school that iay. The next day
is Thanksgiving Day and a na
tional holiday. Thus by the
granting of only one holiday the
boards will enable the teachers
to attend the full session of the
Assembly, leavintr Raleigh after
the last meeting 'Saturday morn
ing ana arriving home oeto'-e
Sunday..
The circular letter continues:
"That not only the teachers but
the schools in which they work
will receive direct benefit from
the attendance of teachers on
these sessions must be evident
to any one who considers the
character of the program that
has been prepared. It will be
one that will appeal to all classes
and grades of teachers. Many
of the most prominent teachers
in North Carolina, both public
and private, will take part in the
discussions. Besides these, whose
names are familiar to all of us.
the Assembly has secured the
services of several men and
women of national reputation.'
They are as follows: President
J. D. Eggleston, of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and former

Wimam Heard Kilpatrickf of

Believing that the, inspiration,
information, encouragement and
pleasure that teachers will re
ceive from association with hun
dreds of their fellow teachers
and with some of the masters of
their profession, and from the
dbcocsiocM and exchanges of
views and experiences at the;
coming session of The North
Carolina ; Teachers' Assembly at
Raleigh,' 'November 26-29, will
more than compensate in bene
fits to teachers and their pupils
for the loss of one day from
school, especially immediately
following a holiday, I heartily
and earnestly endorse thi re
quest of the officials of the As
sembly that the school authori
ties grant to teachers who desire
to attend the next session of the
Teachers' Assembly leave of ab
sence from school for Friday,
November 28, without loss of
salary, and recommend that
school boards grant this permis
sion. Very truly,

Instruction.

What I am interested in is hav
ing the Government of the Uni
ted States more concerned about
human rights than about proper
ty rights. Property is an instru
ment of humanity ;huraanity isn't
an. instrument of property. It
is time that property, as compar
ed with humanity, should take
second place, not first place. We
must see to it that there is nt
overcrowding, that there is o
bad sanitation, that there is no
unnecessary spread of avoidable
diseases, that the purity of food
is safeguarded, that there is ev
ery precaution against accident,
that women are not driven to
impossible tasks, nor children
permitted to spend their energy
before it is fit to be spent. The
hope and elasticity of the race
must be preserved; men must be
preserved according to their in
dividual needs, and not accord
ing to the programs of industry
merely. -Woodrow Wilson.
