"GIVING TO THE CHURCH. The Winston Sentinel quotes from Billy Sunday, holding a meeting in the Twin-City, relative to money and religiou. The evangelist declared with emphasis that people- need to be,, trained in the matter of their giving money in meeting the : r religious obligations. The Sentinel then says: “Tie average person has not taken se riously enough the financial responsibil ity in the realm of religion. “He carelessly tosses a con on the col lection plate or writes a eheek for the ehurch, which represents much less than he is spending for things of much less importance, and does- not seem to feel he is doing anything wrong. “If he feels that he has to practice economy in his spending, he cuts down on his church contribution. “Too many men, in “sizing up” their financial obligations to the church appear to feel that this is the least important obligation of all. “If they have any money left, after spending all they want to gratify their own personal desires, they are perhaps wiling to give it to the church.’' The Salisbury Post contends, and rightly so we think, that giving to the Church “is a matter of education." When our people better understand the jpreat importance of the Church they will not hesitate to give to it before anything else. “We must know bow important it is that we give not only money, hot other things as well, to the great cause of Christian civilization," says The Post. There are many people who make the Church donation the last on their list and yet they would not be willing for the Churches to go out of business. They realize full well that without the Church tlip money they keep for other purposes would ,be of no benefit to them. The Christian Church is the one force that, holds civilization together. “The Church is not perfect,” admits The Post, “but it -s the best thing on earth today, with all its faults, and taken out of our commun ity life In the community would be a chaotic wilderness and men would have no opportunity for making money and no occasion to spend it.” We should remember these things when called upon to aid the ehurch. We should remember that we are aiding the very I foundations upon which life is bu3t. Take away the Christian spirit and life would be one grand grab after another. People might make money but what 1 would money avail them? Some one else would come along and take it away, for if there, were no Churches there would be no laud.

He invested heavily in material things, but his in vestments were prompted by an optimiwn and faith in North Carolina that baye been exceeded in few men in the State.' Mr. Varner was first a newspaper man and then a motion picture advocate. In each business he made a success. He was at one time Commissioner of Labor and Printing in North Carolina, was president of. the National Editorial As sociation for one term, held various offi ces with the North Carolina Press Asso ciation and at the time of his death was at the head of the motion picture theatre, owners’ association of the State.

Holland, April 28.—The for mer kaiser at his chateau here last night, expounded the signficance and im portance of Von Hindenburg’s election as re’ated t<* the restoration of the monarchy and the Hohenzollern dynasty. Wilidin, wha , seemed In excellent spirit, spoke to a home circle audience including his wife, the Princess Herminc. his two children, his court marekki, Von Moltke and others of his forjmp i imperial entourage as well as two high officers from Germany and one German ex-ambasisador. However, the Hohenzol'ern banner no longer floated, fedm the chateau today. After the audience broke into enthusiastic cheers l of' "Hoch Der Kaiser!” ;, <* , t The, servants .were treated to a ; generous allowance of wine to celebrate the occasion, ’ • Despite this' celebration it is said by well informed persons that Von Hinden burg’s victory is less likely to affect the ex-kaiser personally than it is the former crown prince, whose activity and Influence in military quarters have been increasing. It is understood that the Princess Hermine brought back that im pression from her last trip to Berlin. J. Hampton Rich is Trying a New Scheme. Union Republican. You caant lose Major J. Hampton Rich, try as hard as you will. He is the sole originator of the Boone Trail Association and has secured many noted men throughout the country as members. He has visited Europe, paid homage to the king and in this country has addressed great assemblages on “Slob Control.” He is now- affiliated with an organization known ns the boys road patrol or some other high sounding name but his latest venture is the organization of the Daniel Boone high school and incorporation papers have been provided for same. It is not stated where the school is to be located, probably on wheels, so that it can be rolled from town to town along the Bone trail, but according to the Watauga Democrat, Major Rich has succeeded in gathering around him a notable list of well known business men as his associates. The Watauga paper says that the Daniel Boone high school is a nen-stock corporation formed by T. C. Bowie, West Jefferson: R. L. Doughton, Lollrel Springs; U. C- Wright, Hunting Creek; B. B.

Much interest has centered recently in the aunouncemenf of the Ford Used Car plan. This interest has been evidenced by both the public and the anto,motive industry generally, for it is, the first move made by any largo auto mobile concern toward solution of the so called i«ied*(Jf problem. Under the plan, which is enporv'sed by the company, all authorized Ford, dealers place a guarantee upon used Ford cars sold pf them thus insuring to' the purchaser -satisfactory mechanical operation of the ears under ordinary driving conditions. Reports received from the branch :■ es throughout the country, it was said at the offices of the Ford Motor Com pany in Detroit, indicate two things— • greater buyer confidence on the part of the public aud a general feeling among Ford dealers that 3>e plan is certain to] promote custom** tmtisfactiop.
