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.

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.

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.

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.

(5. —In the food riots in several sections of Berlin more than 1.000 shops have been wrecked and p:l --laged and more than 100 persons in jured by sabre cuts. One man died of a shot wound.

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.
