This call of Commissioner Young will closely touch the personal interest of many oi the people of the State4 DOUGLAS AND THE LIBEL LAW V. C. Douglas, a Raleigh lawyer.ls a candidate for the Lee-lslAr.nre in Wake. In a speech one day last week be said "I am against the present libel law, that allows a paper to humllate a man and his family one day and take It back the next. I am golntr to In vestlgate that law and see if I can't get it chaDged so as to end such out- nigee." If Mr. Douglas has any idea of re pealing or modifying the present li bel law the newspapers of the State should give attention to him and to others who think like him. The news papers ask for no special privileges, but they believe the present libel law Is jus, fair and it should not be dis turbed. No honorable editor wants to slander anybody and the editors as a whole are just as honorable as the lawyers or anybody. The pres ent libel law was made for a BDecIric purpose and that purpose Is to give a newspaper an opportunity in case it has Innocently or unwittingly In jured anybody by a publication, to make proper correction. This does not prevent suit for libel being brought, but unless It can be shown that the publication was prompted by malace the complainant can re cover oniy actual damages that is to say he must show that he suffered actual loss by the publication. This act was designed and Intended to prevent the numerous "contingent fee lawyers who hunt up cases and suggest to people to bring damage suits when they had no thought of doing so, from bringing suits against newspapers purely for what they may be able to get out of it. In the hurry of newspaper work the most honest careful and palnstaklngedltor that tver lived may make an erron eous publication in good faith, and the libel lav, in short is to prevent honest editors being made the vie tlms of contingent fee lawyers who drum up cases. Is that why Mr. Douglas objects to the libel law? Statesyllle Landmark. CHURCHES CALLING PASTORS. God alone has a right to call men to preach, and churches have a right to call preachers to be pastors. In most denominations each church calls her own pastor. Our Methodist Brethren do not call their pastors but they are sent to them each year by the Bishop. Each Baptist church calls the pastor she wants. These calls are made in two differ ent ways. Some churches call annu ally or one year at a time. This used to be very common but Is now rapidly changing to the Indefinite call.that Is for the call to last as long as both church and pastor are satis fied with each other. Baptists evi dently got their Idea of annual calls from tne Methodists wholn theearly settlement of the country, only al lowed their pastors to stay one year at a time with churches. Baptists It seems fell In with the same cusrom But the Methodists have changed and a pastor can now stay four years with a church. And in the late gen eral Conference a motion was made to extend the time of pastorals to ten years or If I mistake not Indefi nitely or as long bb pastor and peo ple are satisfied with each other. Read the history ot the New Testa ment churches and see if you can find a shodow of proof that they called their pastors one year at a time. We read In Titus 1:5 that Paul left Titus In Greek to ordain elders or pastors In every city. For one year at a time. No such thought would ever enter the minds, but the natural thought Is that the relation would continue as long as conditions favored the continuance. In country churches where they only have preaching once a month, a pastor cannot get acquainted with all the people In one year. The bet ter a pastor knows a people the bet ter work he can do. No pastor can do his beet work under the yearly call; He has no encouragement to plan better work for next year for he does not know that he will be pastor next year. He may be voted out at the end of the year or at least enough may vote against him to cause him to re sign. No pastor can please all the members of a church. Some will dip like him for very unwise reasons, and will always vote against him. It Is humiliating to a pastor to be put up once a year to be voted against by church members that perhaps no pas tor can please. Is It right to elect and ordain deacons for their lifetime and elect pastors for only one year at a time? Is a pastor so much In ferior to a deacon that he can only be trusted one year at a time? Is It not wisest and best for a pas tor to be called not necessarily for his life time, but indefinitely, that Is for as long a time as pastor and church are satisfied with each other? Baptist churches are rapidly coming to extend only Indefinite calls. The contract between pastor and church Is somewhat after this plan. The church calls the pastor Indefinitely wlfeb this distinct understanding that ap any time wflea tne cttiFeh on her p4rt thinks it best to change pastors the deacons, as officers of the church are privately to Inform the pastor of the desired change. If the deacons are satisfied that they know the pre vailing sentiment of the church, then they are ready to act. But If they are in doubt as to the sentiment of the church let them privately investi gate until they know what the church desires. If a majority or even If a few working members of the church favors a change then let the deacons privately Inform the pastor and he will quietly resign, continuing two or three months longer until tie church can call another pastor. This saves the pastor the deep mortifica tion of being voted out or the church. It is the privilege, and duty of each cnurcn to call her own pastor, but this plan enables a pastor who does not suit a church quietly and honor able to resign uuuer iUe muennite can the pas tors part of the contract is this: He can resign at any time he has good reasons for so doing continuing to serve the church two or three months until she can secure another pastor. unaer tms plan vast numbers of nastors have served the same churches from 20 to 50 years with sat isfaction and success.

Dr. Theo dore L. Cuyler, Congregationalist, Brooklyn. A Pri-vllesre. We should never be satisfied with hoping that we are Christians, but, as it is our privilege, it is likewise our duty to know that we are such. Rev. Luther Hess Waring, Lutheran, Wash ington. A Great Miracle. The difficulties of unbelief are Im measurably greater than those of faith. The miracle of the Christian church, with its limitless iuflnnnce. Is a greater miracle than the resurrection of its di vine human head. Bishop Fallows, Episcopalian, Chicago. - True Leader. ' We all know perfectly well what a true leader is. He is a man of ideas, a man who advocates a certain line of action, and he works through the press and public speech that the people may be convinced of the wisdom of his course. Rev. Dr. Mason, Unitarian, Pittsburg. Real Manbood. When men cease to be for sale, when they have decency enough to refuse to be bribed, common honesty enough to be true to their vows and courage enough to do their duty, then we can say that men are more precious than gold; then shall they take oa real man hood. Rev. N. W. Stroup, Methodist, Cleveland, O. Dlg-nlty of Labor. Labor is an ordination of God, and the sweetest bread that any man or woman ever ate is that which was won by their own energy or deserved by their usefulness. Whether the labor be that of the hand or of the head, there is dignity In it. All tabor that tends to supply humanity's wants, to increase humanity's happiness and to ameliorate and elevate human nature is honorable. Rev. Dr. Madison C. Pe ters, Baptist, New York. Touch of Personality. The moral quality of the human mind is always aggressive. The ethical quality of the humau soul cannot be negative; in some way or another it is bound to express itself. The subtle law of human influence is universal, and no one escapes either its power or its opportunities. Every one is bound to give something of himself to anoth er. The touch of personality is fount everywhere. Rev. II. M. Slocum, Epis copalian, Colorado Springs, Colo. A Moral Obliirntion. There is a moral obligation in money. There is a moral obligation in one dol lar. If you have $10,000 or $100,000 your obligation to your fellow men and your church is 10,000 or 100,000 times greater. When you can't discharge your moral obligation to your fellow men and your church you ought not to have another dollar. There ought to be a civil check to too much wealth. When a man gets too rich he is a men ace to the public, for he makes ft too great a struggle for men to get a right share of this world. Rev. Dr. Charles Aubrey Eaton, Baptist, Cleveland, O. Christ In Onr Life. Christ is the life of all morality too. Sometimes morality descends by in heritance unacknowledged. Sometimes it enters Into the life of a man like con Cagion from his environment. Some times a roan's own selsh heaTt con vinces him that to be moral is to, do the best thing for himself, yet in its final analysis the great cause of up rightness, of purity, of self sacrifice, of disinterested love, is the Christ. Christ is the life, the rock of truth, upon which his church was founded. His divinity as well as his humanity, his infinite power as well as . his most human love, must be acknowledged by the church bearing his name. Christ is the life of the home. How often he sanctified the joys thereof while upon earth! And he has never siuce ceased in such ministrations of love. But more intimate than all this is his near ness and power within the individual to you and to me in our sweetest joys and in our most difficult tasks of life. In our moments of greatest hope fulness and in our seasons of deepest depression, in our days of largest in gathering and in our times of keenest loss, Christ is in our life. Rev. An drew Hagerman, Reformed, New York. Salvation a Normal Reality. We affirm with Jesus that God is our Father and that he cannot be less kind and just and loving than an earthly parent. As a revelation of his charac ter we prefer the parable of the prodi gal son to the statements contained In the historic creeds. We affirm that hu man nature is not depraved, but im perfect. Every man is conscious of sinful tendencies, but he Is not a sin ner until he has sinned. Over against each sinful tendency there is an in finite capacity for moral and spiritual growth. Out from among the variety of conceptions of the life and work of Jesus we select that which is most consistent with his life and teaching. We accept him as our moral and spir itual leader. He is not a God to be worshiped, but a guide to be followed. In accordance with his teaching we regard salvation as dependent .upon our own achievement, not upon our accept ance of a pardon purchsed by the death of an innocent man. Righteous ness is salvation here and hereafter. It follows that there can be but one destiny for the children of God. His eye is not darkened that it cannot see, neither is his hand shortened that it eannot save. Death does not mean te him what it means to us. All worlds are his and all life is his, and, no mat ter where in his great universe he may send us, "we cannot' drift beyond his love and care." Rev. Augustus P. Ree cord, Unitarian, Springfield, Mass.

The late Beriah Wilkins, owner of the Washington Post, came to Wash ington as a member of congress and left a good many political friends in Ohio. He was in his office one day several administrations ago when a very seedy man came in. He was ragged and dirty, unshaven and generally woebe gone. "Beriah," he said, "I am down and out. I have lost everything I had, and I want you to get me some kind of a Job." Wilkins looked the man over and found he was a lawyer who had done him some service in Ohio. He said he would do what he could. "But first let me make you presentable,", he con tinued. They went to a barber shop where the man was shaved and had a hair ARB YOTJ A LAWYER?"

The change was marvel ous. The Ohioan looked distinguished and prosperous In his new rig. Next morning Wilkins took his friend to the White House and introduced him to the iu-esident. He told the president that this man had been of much help to him and he wanted to get him a place, thinking he might secure a clerk ship of some kind. " "Are you a lawyer T' asked the presi dent. "I am," said the visitor. "All right," said the president "I will make you chief justice of one of the territories." "But but" stammered the surprised Ohio man.. "Shut up!" commanded Wilkins, and the fellow subsided. The appointment was made, and the man served out his term. Wilkins said he got the place solely on his high hat. Saturday Evening Post.

The blood becomes polluted, thin and weak and its slow, irregular circulation fails to properly nourish and strengthen the body. Then the entire system is attacked, and if the germs and poisons ol Malaria are allowed to remain the strongest constitution will break down. No one can feel well when the system is in a malarial condition; the vitality is weak, the appetite poor, digestion deranged, the complexion grows sallow and the entire body feels the effects of the poison. Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation and the only medicine that can accomplish this is S. S. S. It not only cleanses the blood of all unhealthy, morbid matter, but destroys the germs, cures Malaria and restores this vital fluid to a strong, healthy condition. S. S. S.
