MARTIN LUTHER
Protestants everywhere, irrespec
tive of denomination, will take a keen
interest in the celebration of the 400th
anniversary of the Reformation in
1917. Lutherans everywhere observe
October 31 as Reformation Day, but
two years from now all the churches
should feel impelled to unite to do
honor to Martin Luther.
Any one who loves liberty and free
dom of conscience must regard Mar
tin Luther next in importance to the
Christ. Without this brave monk,
true Christianity might have been de
layed several centuries, while the
world was crushed by the cruellest of
masters. Luther set the world free
of Rome.
We cannot overestimate the serv
ices rendered to humanity by Martin
Luther, who defied pope, kings and
princes and paved the way for human
freedom for if one is not permitted
freedom of conscience, he is but a
slave.
A community can do what it wants
to. Hickory merchants set out to or
ganize a real merchants' association
and they were awarded first honor
by the state association. If Hickory

Chivalry.
Greensboro News.
A number of folks including our
selves have testified to the conviction
that if "running water in the home"
is not the foremost means of grace
and the greatest forVard step in
ethics, economics and esthetics, it is
surely along in the first rank. Else
where we quote a recent utterance of
this conviction by Governor Craig. Of
this the Hickory Record says:
"All of us have talked about south
ern chivalrv from time to time some
of us auite heatedly but the best
evidence of southern chivalry may be
found in that rural home provided
with running water."
Yes, that is southern chivalry. It
is chivalry in essence, chivalry in the
refinement and perfection oi evolu
tion. It is a development of chivalry
worth all the nathos. all the sentimen
tality which accompanied the birth ol
the idea ot chivalry.
WAR AND BIRTHS
Archbishop of Rheims Gives
Views on Subject.
(By Associated Press.)
Paris, Nov. 1. Cardinal Lucon,
archbishop of Rheims, whose seventy
two years do not prevent him from
sticking to his shell-battered post,
has found time to continue his cam
paign against the depopulation of
France, a subject upon which he is a
recognized authority. He has writ
ten for the Associated Press views on
the effect of war upon the birth rate
that are particularly interesting in
view of the revival of religious inter
est shown by increased attendance at
all religious services through France
"The origin of the question," he
writes, "is obviously in childless mar
riages. Find out why marriages are
childless and we may find where the
remedy lies. Economists have point
ed out debauch, unhealthy literature,
alcohol, selfishness and avarice as
some of the causes; they have accord
ingly proposed as remedies the sup
pression of vice, censorship of litera
ture, prohibition of alcohol, public
aid to large families with relief from
military duties, ensured employment,
lighter taxes on fathers and heavier
burdens on bachelors and childless
married -men.
"All these methods are good as far
as they go; all should be tried since
every man who loves his country can
not be indifferent to the growth of a
real vice, amounting to a social dis
ease, which imperils not only the
prosperity but the existence of a na
tion.
"The war will accentuate the cam
paign against depopulatron by com
pelling attention to the mowing down
of so many men in the flower of their
age, the suppression vt so many
sources of life. It will no doubt has
ten the adoption of some if not al
the measures nroposed but economic
methods do not take a man's soul into
account; so long as the conscience is
untouched so long will economic meas
ures be fruitless.
Keiigion reaches, governs, and
modifies the intimate thoughts that
govern man s actions inspires him
to a duty that is imposed by the most
indisputable authority that of his
Creator. It also assures to duty done
reward that infinitely surpasses in
value and duration the fleeting trou
bles and sacrifices imposed by duty.
Under the influence of religion
obedience to the laws of the married
state' become spontaneous and gener
ous through the most powerful per
sonal interests that it encourages. To
those that close the sources of life
in order to escape fatigue and trouble
or to avoid the division of inheritances
and assure to their heirs lives of
pleasure without work, religion re
calls that the conjugal state was not
instituted by the author of nature for
the satisfaction of the senses, or for
the personal enjoyment oi two per
sons that man here below has other
interests than that of personal sat
isfaction; other riches than those of
the earth.
"To everyone religion shows the
nobility of fatherhood which asso
ciates them with the creative power
of God; thereby they contribute to the
giving of life to his children whose
souls are immortal and whom God
destines to eternal happiness.
Let us then rehabilitate re-m-spire
these religious beliefs, with
them will be reborn Christian ways
and with Christian ways will again
come the observance, through convic
tion and through love, of the holy laws
of marriage and of the family, and,
in a large proportion, the rebuilding:
of the home
"I do not pretend that religion may
of itself, cure the evil. I merely point
out that therein is found for Chris
tians tne most powerful succour
against the evil the most efficacious
encouragement to the duty which we
seek to stimulate.
"We must not forget that the task
of married people is grave and ardu
ous; the duties of parents are heavy,
above all among the classes that de
pend on their daily wore for their
daily bread. I have labored among
such for twenty years and have of
ten received the confidences of ' hon
est fathers of families who. with
only their modest daily earnings to
live upon, asked themselves whether
they should risk having more chil
dren that they could not feed. Religious
considerations were the only ones that
could encourage and give support to
such fathers' their reliance was con
fidence in providence.
"Providence makes use of second
ary causes; it is the honor and duty
of those who possess power and for
tunes to become its instruments. To
the moral force of religion material
aid must be added
Legislators, em
ployers all those who are favored
with wealth must anDlv their o-onrl
will to lighten the burdens of fathers
of large families, help them procure
the needed resources to d
protect the family and make the
easy for the fidnpntirm r,f
children.

that would tak-A
