He has a large following in the county and would have received strong support had he remained in the race for sheriff.

SOPER AGAIN HEARD AT GOLDSBORO MEETING Discusses “Spirtual Maturity” Be* ■ fore Methodist Sunday School i I Conference. j Goldsboro, April 7. —At the morn-j ! ing’s sesmon of the North Carolina J Methodist Sunday school conferences j Dr. Edmund D. Soper, dean of tliM i; school of religion of Duke univerwityj 1 brought his second and closing wage to the conference. The subjeetl , of the address was, “Spiritual Mu*^ I turity—ls it ah linpc&dble Dream?” 1 In this address Dr. Soper seemed to literally feel his way into the heart. of bin subject and then in the clear est maimer possible he uafouided to his hearers that which lies at the very heart and core of a personal religious experience. The hearts- and' mind of serious and intelligent peo ple were touched by the searching implications of the speaker’s roes-, sage. The scriptural basis of the address was Ephesians 4:11-13. He began by saying that when speaking of spiritual maturity to a Methodist audience he was dca.ing with a sub jett which bore the marks of famil iarity since Methodism has nlwuyis made a specialty of the study of ex perience. They reminded of the necessity at times to rethink their way through things which had be come familiar. The question was raised, “Is spir itual ,maturity a possibility?” The average person will say, "Yi**, there are saints; eertaiu marked men and women but they are not normal.” It is difficult for many people to recon cile sainthood with a narmal whole some way of living. But Paul in the passage quoted makes uo such dis tinction. It was a very humble peo ple to whom I*Blll was speaking. A peop’.e only recently come from 1 paganism, a people without a Chris-] tinn heritage or a Christian tradi tion, a people most of whim were unable to read or write, probably. "The difficulty with us is tuat we have been so satisfied with medi-, ocrity, with being as good as most’ church members,” said Dr. Soper. “The chief mark of a Christian is discontent. There must be an urge, a; reaching and a desire to possess* more than we have at present. \Ve ; se« this illustrated as we read the lives of the great saints of history nlnjk trafe the connection between, discontent, their realization of their own imperfections and “fheir final attainments after pushing on. The deeper we go the more we re alize the necessity of going on. which realization is a guarantee of the ele ment of growths. Dissatisfaction with present attainment is the in dispensable necessity for growth. The speaker then proceeded to up several misconceptions of maturity. The first is that “we Methodists in our emphasis ■ upon experience have sometimes overemphasized it. We see that in the unnecessary years some’ people spend in trying to get an ex perience just like some one else. We must take account of our own emo tional life and our own intellectual processes and be sure that our ex perience is real. “Some people become most quiet when their emotions are stirred the most deeply. “The experience of being caught up and swept off ones’ feet doesn’t come to every one. “The chief difficulty here is that many sincere people with a refin ed selfishness keep their eyes turned inward when they should look out on a world of service.” Another misconception of maturi ty is that “something essential to our nature can be eradicated by the coming of the holy spirit. Modern pysehology teaches us that God has made us with certain instincts not to be oradieated. They are not to be eradicated but inthe spirit of Christ and by His power they are to be re directed in new channels. Spiritual maturity means not eradication of these instincts but redirection.” Congress to Adjourn Next Month. Washington, April B.— (A*) —Presi- dent Coolidge was told today by Chair man Smoot, of the Senate finance committee and Chairman Madden of the House appropriations committee that Congress probably would adjourn between May 15 and June 1.

Caldwell, Jr., and State Bank Exam iners Work on Case Dur ing the Day. fCASHIER OF SANK WAS IN BtJILDING jHe Reports That Some One Struck Him and Then Set Fire to Bank Building. State bank examiners and county officers are investigating the burning of the home of the Bank of Midland at an early hour this morning, in an effort to determine whether money was taken from the bank and to lo cate the men who are alleged to have rendered unconscious Cashier C. T. Blakeney, who was in the bank at the time it was fired. Sheriff R. V. Caldwell, .*t., was tified at 6:30 this morning that someone had entered and robbed the bank, killed the cashier and set fire to the building. The rumor that Mr. Blakeney had been killed became cur rent when he was found in an uncon scious condition near the door of the bank, first persons reaching him being of the opinion that he was dead. He regained consciousness during the early morning and several hours af ter the fire was discovered was able to discuss the ease. According to information received by the officers Mr. Blakeney went to the bank about 4 :30 this morning to start his day’s work, it being stated that he starts to work at this hour often when he is rushed. Soon after entering the bank. Mr. Blakeney is quoted as saying, he heard a noise in the rear of the building. l Investiga tion failed to disclose any one in the building, but the cashier is said to have found the rear door open. Push ing the door shut Mr. Blakeney is further quoted as saying he went to the front door, which he locked. That is the last he remembered. Mr. Blakeney said, until he regained con sciousness. Be had a faint recollee-. tion of getting hot. he said but did not know whether he was in or out <rf the bank at the time. «. * boy passing by the bank about 5,;30 saw the body of Mr. Blakeney and at the same time detected the fire in the building. He gave the alarm and soon a number of persons gath ered to fight the fire. The first two men to reach the scene carried the cashier to his home, and an examina tion by his physician is said to have shown that he was struck over the head with some blunt instrument. The bank building was burning so briskly when the first fire fighters ar rived that it could not be saved. The adjoining building, occupied by the Midland Hardware Company, was not burned, the fire wall protecting the structure. Persons who reached the scene first stated that it appeared that the fire had been started in the rear of the bank, and it was burning faster there than in the front. The entire inter ior of the building was gutted, only the vault and walls being left. It was impossible this morning, it was said, to determine whether mon ey had been taken from the safe. The vault door was open when the first person entered the bank after the fire died down, but the safe door was not open. This door was partially opened, it was said, but the metal on it was so hot bank officials and bapk exam iners present could not get it open. It is reported that more than $4,- 000 was deposited in the bank yester*. day. When Sheriff Caldwell reached the bank he found several thousand pennies scattered about the vault door, but he could find no other mon ey - Several bank examiners started an investigation abdut 9:30 this morning. It is reported [that they started an examination of Ihe bank's books yes terday but hadl not completed ~their work. When asged if lie had any in formation concerning the case one of the examiners stated that he knew nothing except what was on the sur face. Mr. Blakeney is quoted as telling i friends he did not know how he got from the bank bpilding. He came through the front door, he thinks, due to the fact that he was found lying near the front door, but he does not remember whether he was carried from the building or whether be crawl <ed out.

C.. before going to Mid land. One official of the bank stat ed that the banking company, which owned the building, had it insured and also carried burglary insurance. The amount could not be learned this morning due to the fact that Mr. Blakeney had prepared the papers and was not in condition to discuss that phase of the case. It was apparent this morning that records and money in the vault were safe. Constructed entirely of brick and. cement, the vault withstood the fire and unless some one entered the safe its valuable?! are believed to be I intact. Bank examiners planned to try again this afternoon to get into the safe. ” Asked if he saw any one or heard any one just before he lost conscious ness, Mr. Blakeney is reported to H SHERRILL, Editor and Publish**- Drives 4,700 Miles to Be Queen 1 g \ ragsgAfv ** v «- %4 *% *;;:>■' • . : I ;|iW| f?

Routine, that they may obey the rhythmic law of their growth. 2. Play, that they mak grow poy ously. 3. Work, that they may obey the inward voice that commands them to ' carry their race one further step ahead. 4. Encouragement, that they may know the power of love, the bond of brotherhood that, alone makes life on 'earth possible -or worth while. 5.
