If Rev. Rniwrt V. Walker of Albe
iwle. ei.Ur of the Baptist Messen
ger, is not publisliinf a denomina
tional paper, he ought to take his
sign down, or quit beins vassal of
the politicians.
In a communication in this Issue,
the Albemarle preacher, in reply to a
recent editorial in The Journal, uyt
"i not a denomlna-
tionally owned paper; neither Is It;
endorsed oy any as.oi-iauuu, ivm
tion or church. I am the sole owner,
editor and manager of the paper. So,
in view of these facts. I have a per
fect right to print whatever I may
choose in those columns." Certainly
he has. There is no law against his
absolute freedom of expression, but
by exercising this right he abuses his
ministerial robes. All protestant de
nominations stand for absolute sepa
ration of church and state, and It was
never Intended that a minister of the
compel should rt oop to narrow parti
sanship. Rev. Mr. Walker has a right
to vote, aud to express his opinions.
opt'Lk, but not from the pulpit, or in
a i hutch pa;er. (and that is the
brand of the Metnj-vr because he
admits that its ir.i.-siou I the upbuild

'in suK-ort of thtir arguments, but
since Rev. M. Walker believes hej
fces divine injunction to meddle in;
; politics, it might be proper to refer
i Kii. tn I nk 4- IS so he can read:
Christ's mission on earth. "The spirit j
of the Lord is upon me." says Christ, j
"because he hath annointed me to(
preach good tidings to the poor; Hei
aai'a s.-nt me to proclaim release to
the captives, and recovering of !ght
to the blind: to set at liberty them
that are bruised." Therefore. If the
Albemarle pastor bases his mission,
on the quotation. "Render unto Cae
sar the things which are Caesar's; '
and unto God the things that are
CodV his thoololgy needs revising.)
In true christian spirit. Rer. Mr. j
Walker says he is ready to escuse us j
of our great blunder if we will Just'
be more careful next time. We thank
him for his great compassion. In the
language of the scriptures. "Well
done thou good and faithful servant." ,
Like the Catholic priest, he is always
readv to hear confessors, but never;
confesses himself. Since receiving
his communication, we went to see
some prominent Monroe Baptists.who
are more familiar with the creeds of
that church than we are. To a man
thty agreed that Rev. Mr. Walker
had ever-stepped his bounds in mail-in-'

Your Savigs.
. Yhat are you doing with them? Are you let
ting them dribble out, a little here and a little there,
for things that will be of little if any benefit to you?
Or are you keeping them intact so they may
grow into a respectable sum that will count when
you see the chance for a good investment?
A SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNT
keeps your money all in a lump, ready at any time
you need it. And if you get the savings habit it is
worth almost as much as tne savings themselves.

Tm afraid that's all I can spare"
yr4
You're a regular, red-blooded, true-blue American.
You love your country. You love that flapping, snapping
old flag. Your heart humps hard when the troops tramp
by. You're loyal 100 per cent.
You intend to you want to help win the war in a
hurry.
"Sacrifice? Sure," you've been thinking. "Just you
wait till they really need it." And you've honestly thought
you meant that too.
But look yourself in the eye, now, and search up and
down inside of your heart did you mean it? Did you
really mean "sacrifice"?
Listen: You feel poor. The third Liberty Loan, the
high prices, the Income Tax you've done your bit. You
feel that you've given all yo ucan spare.
What? Then what did you mean? What's that you
said about loving your country? What did you think the
word "Sacrifice" means?
Surplv vmi didn't mean, did vou. to rive onlv what
mi ran snare? What about our bovs who are riviner our
ives in the trenches ? Are they giving only what they can
"spare"
How about those mothers and little "kiddies' in the
shell-wrecked towns of that war-swept hell: hungry
ragged sobbing alone? Giving up their homes,
their husbands, their fathers.
While wTe over here with our fun and our comforts
we hold up our heads and feel patriotic because we have
given what? Some loose bills off the top of our roll.
"We've given all we can sparel"
Come, come! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let us
learn what "sacrifice" means. Let us give more than we
can spare let us "give till the heart says stop."
