TT,TM mtmv NEWS. LINCOL NTON, N. C- MONDAY. DECEMBER 19 ML WORK OF THE CHURCH D&WSi IN THE WORLD It Mission Is Against Ignorance, In-4-TticC Oppression, Disease and Other Evils of the Day ' Jesus waved that His disciples ffliKt be taken out of the world tat that they might be kept from the evil of the world, says the India na Church Federation. The church of today, as never be fore is seeking to answer at least the first part of this prayer. The church is more and more be coming concerened with life and life s meblems and the time is past when E may be told that the prac tfcS T affairs of life are of no con eem to them. , . ,. Can there be ignorance, injustice w" Ji n laic OCO. -opression, poverty, '"";r, Mis and unsanitary conditions in the world and the church take no account The'teachings of Jesus provide the 4ml and only solution to all the prob lems of the world, the one and on y iare for all its ills, the one and only Savior for all its sins. More people realize this fact to day than at any time in the past two thousand years and now, as never be fore the church is facing a conscious Opportunity to present its remedy to tBe troubled and suffering world. Education, civmzauui , dtolomoacy, and war have all been ffi ana have failed and in a meas n the church has failed also, but where the Christianity of Christ has jen tried it has never failed. It has not failed in the industrial world, as distinguished industrial JSSs will -gladly testify for their rhnaesSnoht failed in the realm of . racial relations. Race antagonism, See riots and lynchings are possible only where the Christian spirit does The great problems confronting the national representatives in Washing ton be solved when they are ap proached in a Christian spirit and their solution sought acordmg to Christian principles. The church has had a large , p art in this conference. More than 20,000 ministers sent a petition asking the President to call such a conference This was followed by thousands of petitions from churches and church gatherings from all parts of the CMuch of the preaching for the past few months has been directed to cre ating an atmosphere favorable to the ereaiesi puiui mco.. -ament, and the churches have been much in prayer for the success of this conference. , The end is not yet. Those close to the situation are urging the minis ters and church people to continue this program. Much depends on tne attitude of the American people and no institution can do so much to create sentiment favorable as can the church of Christ. PATHE RECORDb Can be played on all makes of Machines.

And one of the best, manifestations of civic loyal ty is the "trade at home" spirit. That does not mean that you shall never spend a dollar outside the confines of your own town, but it does mean that you shall give the home merchants the preference in all your trading. If Jones, here at home , has what you want at a fair price, why send to Smith in the big city for that article ? mm: . 1 1 1 . uriVl i-nitVi will. tne aoiiar yuu apcim mm ..... . , in all probability never return to you, but' the dollar you leave with Jones here at home may be in your own mwket asrain before the week is out. 411 the venr 'round is a trood time to practice the trade-at-home policy, but the Christmas season is an especially good time for it. And right here in Lincolnton our merchants have pro vided such large and attractive stocks of holiday goods and priced them so fairly that there is really no excuse for doing your Christmas shopping anywhere but in Lincolnton. LIVE IN THE WORK We must live in our work to do it well; We must dwell in its spirit and bow to its spell; i nr. ,,,ct imr if amt know it to make I1C UIUOV "V T w .w wan. . - . it count, We must feel it and trust it before we mount; We must get it from it comfort and pleasure and rest, i We must live in our work if we'd do it the best. And, ah, there is something to gain from it ail In spite of the shadows and sorrows that fall; Something of beauty and cheer and content Out of the struggle, if over it bent, We live in it largely and draw from its heat The joy and the gladness, the fervor and sweet. We must live in our work, we must know what it means To give our whole souls to it-whether it's ieans Or velvets or satins in which we must toil, Whether the shop or the mill or the soil, Whether the green country lane or the mart We do the work best when we give it our heart.

The tendency revealed by the census statistics is of special importance in Eastern Caro lina, the part of the state which has shown the most marked change. Broadly stated, the drift is in the di- rection of small farms, ine numuci. farm in most of the Eastern Carolina counties-New Hanover being a note worthy exception has increased sub stantially; but the acreage under cul tivation has in nearly every county been reduced.

It would mean in that case, that the rural sections were becoming substan tially more .populous, and that we might soon expect to see a vastly in creased portion of East Carolina's fertile soil under intensive cultiva tion. But the unmistakable meaning of the census reports in that there has been a great deal oi -ana ment.

While there are unquestioned ar guments in support of the small farm, we must agree that the News Letter has pointed out a serious weaknasa in the Eastern Carolina tendency.

We did not fight Germany to save our kin. It was because she violated her treaty with Belgium and became an outlaw and when France and England failed to stop her, then it was our duty as a Christian nation to come to their aid. Since that precedent has been established, we believe in the league, and that if we must fight we should be consulted as to when to fight and as to the right of a nation to fight. As before stated, we cannot live alone. We are heeding the cry of starving nations today and feeding them. The world is looking to us to prevent wer in the future, and the League of Nations is the only solu tion we see.
