ENDORSES CO-OPCRATtVt PROGRAM The Convention heartily endorsed the co-operative plan tor the Support of all its- missionary, educational and benevolent work and namqd a Com mission on the Cooperative Program which will seek to enlist all the Bap tist ohurches of the South In the reg ular, systematic Support of home, State Khd foreign missions, ministe rial relief and Baptist schools, hos pitals and orphanages. Churches not already supporting all these enter prises. through weekly contributions are Invited to assume such snpport at shoe. The Convention endorsed the plan of the Commission discour* aging independent appehUVo churches and individuals on the part of special deftotninatlOhal interests, urging all of them to look to the Co-operative Program for their support and asking all the churches to support the Pro gram!. gif AND BY THE OLD BIBLE That the world may know where Southern Baptists stand Upon the , greht fundamental Christian doe trines, many of which are being as sailed today, the convention adopted a statement of the Baptist faith and message, in which attacks upon the inspiration, and authority of the Bible and Hie divinity of Christ were vig orously refuted. Here are some of the leading declarations in the statement as it was adapted: THE SCRIFTUfttS "We believe that the Holy Bible wap Written by men divinely in spired and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; that It has Odd for- ita' : author, saltation fbr Its’end; and truth, without any mixture of efttsr. for Its matter; that it reveals the principles by which Gci win j«dge us, and therefore la, and Will remalh to the eafi ol the world, the tx«l center of dbrfom* union, fad the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and religious opinions should be tried.” THE FALL OF MAN "Man was created by the special act of God as recorded in Genesis. ‘So God created man in his own im age, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them-’ (Gen. 1:27). ‘And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of -the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul,’ (Gen. 2:t). He was cre ated lb a state of holiness under the law of his maker but through the temptation of Satan he transgressed the command of God and fell from his original holiness and righteous ness; whereby his posterity inherit a nature corrupt and In bondage to sin, , are under condemnation, and as soon as they are capable of moral action, become -actual transgressors.” THE WAY OP SALVATION “Salvation Of.sinners la Wholly of graoe, through the mediatorial office of the Son of God, who by the Holy Spirit was bofn of the Viigin Mary and took upon MB our nature, yet without sin; honored the divine lew by his personal obedience, and made atonement for our sine -by Ms death. Being risen frofb the dead he is now enthrobed in heavbn and uniting in his person the tendereSt sympathies . with divine perfections, he Is in every -way qualified to be a compassionate and all-sufficient Savior,” *.. CO-OPERATION "Christ'S people should, aa occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions as may best secure co-operation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God. Such organiza tions have no authority over each . other or ovef the churches. They are voluntary and advisory bodies design ed to elicit, combine and direct the enegries of our people In the meet ef fective manner. Individual members of New Testament churches should co-operate with each other, and the churches themselves should co-oper ate with each other in carrying for ward the missionary, educational and benevolent program for the extension of Christ’s Kingdom. Christian unity in the New Testament sense is spirit ual harmony and voluntary co-opera tion for common ends by various groups of Christ’s people. It is per missible and desirable as between the various Christian denominations, when the end to be attained is Itself justi fied, hnd When such co-operation In volves no violation of conscience or compromise of loyalty to Christ and His Word as revealed in the New Testament.” STEWARDSHIP “God Is the source blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. We have a spiritual debtorship to the Whole World, a holy trusteeship In the Gospel, and a binding stewardship in cur possessions. We are therefore under obligation to serve Him with ohr time, talents and material posses sions; and should recognise all these as preaching the Gospel of Christ, and of God and helping others. Chris tians should cheerfully, regularly, sys tematically, proportionately and lib erally contribute of their means to advancing-'-the Redeemer’s cause on earth.” EVOLUTION IS DENOUNCED To the statement of faith proper the Convention added a declaration upon the relation of upience and re ligion in which file theory of evolution was denonneed. Referring to evolu- Vtoa the statement says: "Its best exponents admit that the causes of the origin of species 1 have not been traced, nor has any proof been forthcoming that man is not the direct creation of God as • recorded in Genesis. - We protest 1 against imposition of this theory of evolution upon the minds of our children in denominational or public schools as if It were a definite and established truth of science. We in sist that this and all other theories be dealt with in a truly scientific way, that Is, in careful conformity to established facts. 4 "We record again our unwavering adherence to the supernatural ele ments In the Christian religion. The Bible is God’s revelation of himself through men moved by the Holy Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain and authoritative guide In rellgioa. Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit. He was the divine aW eternal Bon of God. He wrought miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead. He died as the vicarious, atoning Savior of the world and was hurled. HO arose again from the dead. The tomb was emp tied of Its contents- In his risen body he appeared many -tinges to Ills disciples. He ascended to the right hand of the Father. He wijl come again in person, the same Jbsus who ascended from the Mount of ottv-es, V“We believe that adherence tb the abate’ truths and facts is a necessary euftdltioh of service for teachers to our Baptist echooD.” \,_l # - ,!NO APPETITE.

The Pesky Peddler. The business men of every small city like Kingfctree, says The Record, are confronted with a new and serious prob lem. It is due to the growth of peddling, canvassing or ordertaking. And many communities like ottrs are solving the problem by licensing or bonding all peo ple who go froth house to bouse taking orders for merchandise handled by local merchants. At first glance this may not seem quite fair to sotne,.People. But wfe feel that a common sense view of the issue will con vince everyone that the merchant would be justified in demanding some action to curb this kind of business. For the long run anything that injures the mer chant in a business way injures all the citizens of the community. The peddler comes into the town and often demands a cash deposit on the ar ticle he sells. Then he goes elsewhere and delivery of the ordered goods is made to the customer C. O. D. People often find later that the goods is not up to standard—has been misrepresented. But by that time the peddler may be in the next state and the buyer has no re course. Bonding and licensing, it Seems, are the only sensible methods for giving the buy ing public protection in the matter. But there in more to the question than this. The peddler comes’'during the time of peak demand, takes the cream of the business out of the community, and pays not one red cent in the way of jtaxes for the upkeep of our schools and other pub lic institutions. The merchant, in the other hand, is here the year roupd, gives service in and out-of sea sop, and turns a substantial sum of money oyer to the city treasurer every year. Says Collins D'M Not Get a Squire Deal. Monroe Enquirer. Jim Collins, the negro Who killed. A. C. Sedberry. Anson county white mnn, was electrocuted at the state prison last Fri day morning. Collins said as his last words: “Siyce I came here I’ve learned to read the Bible, and think I’m saved,” which at least is a little different from most men, when strapped to the chair, who are assured and maintain that heav en will be their home. But there are many, including Attorney General FAnk Nash, who believe the lit-] tie negro did not get a fair deat when he went to the electric chair. Shadberry, the ’sawmill man. who was killed, evidently did the little negro a great injustice when he severely beat him and refused to pay wages when due. Collins saw red after he was humiliated before his fellows, and besides mistreated. But the colored man made the fatal mistake of going for a gun and shooting to death liis employer—a white man.- Had the white man killed the negro there would have been no elec trocution last Friday.

San Franeisco, June 10.—American residents with friend* or relatives in China found two comforting items in to day’s news concerning the far east: A dispatch from Canton said all the foreigners bad been removed from the fighting sone to places of safety. An official report from Consul General Cunningham at Shanghai said “the high water mark of danger” had passed. The difficulties of foreigners in China •are not se'tled, however. At Perking, patriotically enthused students held a mass meeting in theorem and continued to distribute handbills carrying anti foreign sentiments. At Xhnmghai the waterside strike was becoming more and more effective,, with more than a score of British and Japanese vessels unable to get crews. At Canton the Yunnunese troops holding the city dug in and pre pared for a long siege, with attacking Cantonese closing In from all sides. Some Great Men Who Were Egt. The success of a recent French book drew sympathy to those fat men about whom it has been, heretofore, rqther the fashion to crack jokes, says the Paris Journal. One does not always get fat through his oWn fault, ol- because of an excess of fowl. Sometimes it Is nature that plays this mean trick on many, And, after all, is a man's merit any the less i tor being fat? His weight did not pre gent William the Conqueror from invad ing England. Nearer our time, Dumas the Cider, George Sand and Renan had no less talent because of corpulency. Any-'. , Way, fat men are: jolly. • If they don’t laugh themselves they make others laugh. And that is highly desirable in these ! dark days. " . \ , A fat man of this kiud was King Fred erick I of Murtemherg. He Was bo fat . that his stomach extended to his knees. I When he came to the banquet given at Paris on the occasion of Marie-Louise a. wide notch had to be out in the table at his place to make room for his “bay win dow.” Alphonse Karr cited ft case where obes ity had the advantage, perhaps, of saving; ‘ the life of a man. It was in the course ’ of a duel between the celebrated actor Dugazon and his comrade, Dessessart. The latter was expressively thick. The two men faced each other on “the field of honor” pistols in hand Dugazon ex claimed : “Listen. I am willing to fight with you. But for the sides to be equal we must have nu understanding. I am thin and scrawny but you—you are an elephant.” Thereupon taking from his pocket a piece of chalk he drew a large ring on the abdomen of his adversary. “Now,” he continued, “every shot that doesn’t land within that ring will not count.” There was a general burst of laughter. Dessserat laughed too, and instead of go oing on with the duel all went home to gether to breakfast. , Which of Them Knows Least? Dearborn Independent. Mr. Clarence Darrow overs to face Mr. William Jennings Itryan on the theory of Evolution, the battle to oc cur in Tennessee. It is in such exhibi tions that one may team what is wrong with Evolution'’ ad why both proponents and opponent* can produce such good reasons for their separate stands. For if there is anything that has harmed the theory known as Evolution, it is that every country sclioo’.-teacber in the land has attempted to teach it from seiappy textbooks; and if there is anything that has harmed the position of the anti-Evolutionkts it is their as sumption that thinking can be prevented by law. In the battle of Darrow vs. Bryan there will be a flood of evidence on both sides, but as in the I/eopold-Loeb case, it will nnrrow down to a battle o£ the “experts.” Irate Customer—Here; look what you did!
