IUTHFRANS OF STATE NOW
IN SESSION AT CHARLOTTE
Brotherhood Organized.—Dr. Morgan
Preached Opening Sermon.
Attended by about 200 delegates and
pastors from all over the state and by
visitoi s from outside the state the l_Oth
annual convention of the Lutheran Syn
od of North Carolina opened its session
Tuesday night nr St. Mark s < Lurch in
ChrHotte. Other representative are ar
riving and an attendance of 300 is ex
pected.
Preliminary ro the synod convention
wa- tU> organization during the after
no an of lf.O Lutheran laymen from
churches tlirougho|t Piedmont North
Carolina jnto a Lutheran brotherhood.
Officer elected were Bismarck Capps, ot
Gastonia, president: A. R. Rhyne, of
Charlotte, vice president: 11. A. I sen
hour. of Salisbury, secretary : IF "W . t.ru
ber. of Statesville, treasurer.
Mr. Cappr- urged the laymen to make
the establishment of home missions the
goal of the organization. Mr. Rhyne
requested them to return home and or
ganize brotherhoods in their churches,
saying' that 20 have already been or
ganized and are doing line work. Dr.
L. I’.. Wolfe, of Baltimore, secretary of
the board of foreign missions of the
I'nited Lutheran Church, spoke on the
separation. of the church and state, em
phasizing the fact that tin* church lias
no business in politics, uor has the .state
a right to interfere with the church and
that the church must stand four square
on the basic principles of the Gospel.
The synod convention was opened at
night with tin* beautiful communion ser
vice of tlie church. Dr. Ik 11. Kolni. of
Mi. Holly: Rev. H. R . Schaeffer, of
Kings Mountain, secretary of the Synod,
and Dr. J. L. Morgan, of Salisbury,
president of tlie Syond. offieiaCng. Com
munion was administered at the close of
the*service to all the ministers and dele
gate* in attendance.
The church was crowded to hear Dr.
Morgan preach. He used as his text
the words of Caleb t<> the Hebrew chil
dren : "Let u- go up at once and pos
sess if. for we are well able ro over
come it." (Numbers 13-30) in a very
forceful manner.. Dr. Morgan pictured
tin* history of the Children of Israel up
to the time of the utterance of the text,
also the land of Caiman flowing with
milk and honey, but possessed by gaints.
I)r. Morgan first stated that God had
chosen man for this people, and sec.
end. that God had chosen the people for
this man.
Now. as a matter of fact, he said, the
world and all its creatures was made by
G >d in order that man might enjoy it
anil realize, the goodness of God. whom
they should love, serve and own. But
in a peculiar sense the church lias be
come his people and it is to possess the
world. In answer ro the question : Does
the church possess the land? Dr. Mor
gan showed that God’s people have not
come to be tlie possessors of the earth,
for three-fifths of the population of the
world are not Christians, and that 70
per cent, of the American people fail to
recognize God as their God. Man is
still selfish, greedy and without real love
f r hi> fellow man. which is responsible
for tin* world's distubrances at the pres
ent time, lit* declare*l.
In' asnwer to tin* question: How is
the church to possess the earth? the
same is to be done through the continued
preaching of tin* Eternal Word of God.
and not only this but those who preach
as well as those who hear must have a
true concept i. n < of God. and must know
him in a peculiar way, for one who must
know God before In* can bring others.
Dr. Morgan said. A second quality t<>
possess tlie land is courage, which the
Children of Israel did not have. A third
quality for possession is that of know
ing tlie field, therefore, every sermon and
program given should he for tin* purpose
of informing all concerning the nature
of the field. By carrying out the fore
going principles' the Lutherans North
Carolina arc faced with great opportuni
ties to go in and possess the land, in spite
of all enemies or obstacles.
REFUSES TO LET LOVESICK
YOUTH DIE IN HER ARMS
“Go Die in a- Hospital.” Girl’s Reply
When He Shoots Himself.
Chicago. Nov. 7.—" Let me die in your
arras, pleaded Rudolph Walker. 21. a
sentimental youth, who had shot himself
near the heart after a va'n courtship
of -Miss Anna Sutter. 22.

where it is said lie has but slight chance
for recovery.
"1 don t love him, T never did and
never could, and 1 told him so.” said

lice had informed her he was near death.
I Ami i love him even now, after lie
lias tried to die for me.”
"Walker met Miss Sutter last February
and had attempted to woo her persistent
ly ever since. Last night they went to
a theatre, and on the way home Walker
proposed again ahd was again rejected.
Then he ..shot himself.'* *

Fatal Wound.
Greensboro. Nov. 7.—The funeral of
A. H. Kaplan, local pawn broker, who

Durham Editor Getting Rich.
Hickory Record.
Some time ago a Record representa
tive was in Durham on business —tfie
same being to see that the Trinity-Car
olina football game was played proper
ly—and while there' learned that his old
Sunday school scholar, Ed Rollins, has
the largest daily bank balance of any
body in Durham—General Carr and the
rest —and began to feel like his news
paper, the Durham Herald, was going
broke when his daily deposit slip showed
less than $40,000. It 'never runs less
than $30,000. On it the Durham pub
lisher receives interest. This is the
same newspaper, by the way tlmt Mr.
Itoliins and the late Joe King estab
lished in Durham 30 years ago with
nothing but their nerve, an ordinary
job printing press and a “shirt tail full
°’ Dl>e,'' as Mr. King used to remark.
It now ranks as one of the best in the
state, with W. N. Keener, of Lincoln
county, as editor.
Knitted Suits for Spring.
New York Times.
A considerably increased call for wo
men's knitted suits for Spring is looked
for by local wholesalers of these gar
ments. The demand for them during the
Fall was by no means small, and. despite
tlie lateness of the season, retailers are
said to be still showing interest in them.
The sports wear trend for the coming
season, however, is expected to be so
strong that the knitted suits will have a
much greater run. Those having the
slip-over effect are said to be favored
most. The lighter colors are being
stressed.

Poincare Stands Pat.
Premier Poincare in his Sunday ad
dresses reaffirmed tlie French govern
ment's unshakable determination not to
accept any reduction whatsoever in the
German debt of 132.000,000.000 gold
marks as fixed by the London confer
ence in 1021.
Tin* Premier’s declarations were strict
ly along the line* of his previous utter
ances on the reparations question, tak
ing no cognizance of any new factor in
the way of international negotiation in
which the Cited States may be included.
While no official announcement has been
made on this point, it is believed in diplo
matic circles that M. Poincare’s speech'
reflects the French government’s posi
tion. which will be communicated to the
State Department at Washington by Am
bassador Jusserand today.
Signs of weakening Belgian support
for the French viewpoint are admitted
freely everywhere. The adoption by
Brussels of what is termed “the Anglo-
American policy” is referred to by news
papers of the government as an accom
plished fact. But this has failed to di
vert the French Premier from the course
he lias been pursuing on the reparations
question since the occupation of the
Ruhr.

LUTHERAN' SYNOD TO
MEET IN CHARLOTTE
Opening Service Will Be Held in St.
Mark’s Church—Splendid Growth
During Year.
Charlotte, Nov. s.—The 120th con
vention ofthe I'nited Evangelical Luth
eran synod of North Carolina will con
vene in St. Mark’s Lutheran church
Tuesday evening at 7 :30 o’clock.
It is interesting to know that this
organization was formed in 1803 at
Salisbury, there being present at that
time four pastors and 14 laymen with
a constituency of 2,000. Today this body
numbers 11.“ pastors and 28.000 mem
bers. It is the mother synod of all the
Lutheran synods south of the Potomac
river.
The present activity of this numer
ically small religious body may be indi
cated in what it has accomplished in
1023. In a financial way it lias raised
and pledged the sum of 8423.000 for
benevolences alone. $320,000 of which
was pledged, by its members to Lenoir
college of Hickory, to which college I).
E. Rhyne gave an additional 8300.000:
$105,000 of the above amount was rais
ed by the synod together with its wo
men and young people’s organizations.
New churches were organized during
the year at Rocky Mount. Shelby. East
Hickory and Asheville.
Virginia Will Vote on .$50,000,000 Road
Issue.
Richmond, Va.. Nov. 5. —Virginia vot
ers will go to the polls tomorrow to ex
press their preference as to the state’s
method oif financing the road building
program. The electors will decide wheth
er the state shall issue $.“>0,000,000 in
bonds for highway purposes or whether
the “pay-as-you-go system”, now in
force, shall be continued as the basis of
support for road construction.
Advocates of both methods of financing
the highway program were apparently
confident tonight that the voters would
endorse their own plan in tomorrow's
referendum.
The bill incorporating the bond issue
proposal provides that “interest and sink
ing fund for the retirement of said bonds
(are) to lx* provided for by the levy of a
tax not exceeding two cents per gallon
on gasoline or other motor fuel and the
present state will tax for road construc
tion, or so muon thereof as may be nec
essary.”
A mill tax and a levy of three cents
a gallon on gasoline are supports for
the highway plan now in operation.

Three Million Casks of Blood Shed in
War.
Paris. Nov. 7. —A j French staistician
has calculated that nations pass one-half
of their existence in a state of war.
England, according to his fiures, was
carrying on wars for 207 years out of
the 400 years from 1100 to" 1500 A. D.
and 212 years from 1500 to 1900. Dur
ing the corresponding periods France was
engaged in war for 192 and 181 years.
It is figured that nineteen million men
are killed in war every century. Their
blood would fill 3,000.000 cask's contain
ing 39 gallons each—a quantity sufficient
to have supplied a stream for a fountain
flowing 154 gallons per hour from the
beginning of history.
