A Colossal Thing. . Lexington Dispatch. J. B. Duke added two. mil lion, dollars . more to what he had already rfone' for Duke University last week. This gives 1 the university something like nine and three-quarter millions in physical as sets. not including about three millions sis endowment. Only four other uni- ; versifies of the country, we believe, have the physical assets that Duke now has. , , Os; course* the plant has not yet been erected, but it is out of the realm of guess work. Three thousands acres of land have been purchased and engineers und architects, the best to be secured, are working out the plans for the great group of buildings and the matchless campus that will be in readiness within a year or two. The stone of which the buildings are to be erected will be \ brought from a nearby quarry, und not ' from Vermont or Indiana. In addition to having such a physical ! plant, the new Duke University will have , 32 per cent, of the income from at least , .’j'32,000,000 to begin with aend eventually the same per cent, of the income from The T niversity of Pennsylvania is now conducting a campaign for an endowment of forty millions. Miami. Fla, proposes to put 510.000.000 behind a new uni- , versity . The University of Pittsburgh , is soon to begin a ‘‘cathedral of learn ing,” a single building to cost many mil lions of dollars. But none of these things dwarf this i North Carolina project of a North Caro linian. Dr. Fosdick Promulgated Nothing New. N. C. Christian Advocate. Dr. Fosdick in stipulating the condi tions upon which he would accept the pastorate of the Park Avenue Baptist Church of New York City said: “If I had m.v way baptism would be an indi vidual affair. Any one who wanted to be immersed. I would gladly immerse. Anyone who wanted to be sprinkled, I would gladly sprinkle. If anyone as a Quaker bad conscientious scruples against any ritual, I would gladly without bap tism welcome him on confession of his faith. Why not The papers have put this as part of a sensational news story on the front page as if it were some more of that famous preacher’s “modernism"’ and millions of readers will I be thinking here is something new under the siin. when this is precisely what the Methodists have been teaching and prac ticing from the beginning. Baptism has been with the Methodists from the days of John Wesley an individual affair. The subject to be baptised chooses his . own mode of baptism and Methodist min isters receive Quakers without baptism. Yet for Fosdick to say such a thing be comes “big news” and some who bear the name Methodist will join with the, builders cf inquisitorial fires for this modern heretic. Just let a mail get the reputation of being a heretic and his most commonplace utterances get world wide publicity. Manners in Rand Signs. An Hnglish countryside flows by ami the motorist comes upon a quaint vil lage in which, second only to the ivy-1 clad church in visibility, is a huge sign warning him to slow down to eight miles; an hour. Nobody does. How much better is the Yankee twist of mind that causes jus to put up sign* like these: r “Stop, look—and live.” “Book out. you may meet a fool around the corner.” “Don’t speed: it is ‘Good Morning, Jmlge.’ here.” "Isiok before you weep.” “This is a good road; it Will cost you money to burn it up.” New Jersey civic pride—and right eousness—coins this one: “Go slow and —■....... „.......—i, —I. I The Warfare In jOUw Chanty and Children. , ' ,i The outbreak of warfare in Oiim roqses new fears for the safety pf dui missionaries. The attacks have been, di rected largely against foreigners and the missionaries have to bear the brunt of it, no matter how Httle hand they may bare bad in causing it. It brings sharp ly to the fore again the age-old question of what we are sending to the Jieathen. If our. efforts were confined to spread ing the gospel of the Nazarene and the gospel of love, how could it generate mur derous hate? But we. of course, are sending now as always two sets of mis sionaries. one representing the Christian ity of the Occident, the other its brntal and greedy paganism, and in this revolt we find the dreadful evidence that for the moment the work of the missionaries of the devil is more effective than that of the missionaries of Christ. No man who examines candidly the national pol icy in the Orient of the Christian nations of the world can be surprised that ocea sionally it results in furious uprisings that sweep the country with fire and sprinkle it with blood. It has been a totally selfish policy: and therefore a bru tal and bloody polisy. Theology collapses when it runs counter to facts. A man may be as sound as a dollar, doctrinally. but if he is a tyrant, a thief and a mur derer, his sound theology will do bun no good in the eyes of an outraged God. Christian missionaries may wear their lives away in devoted service, but if the nations they represent are tyrannous, thievish and mnrderous, the heathen will occasionally rise against them, and we. for one,- are not able to believe that the wrath of God will be directed primarily against t|ie heathen. We need to su per t our missionaries with more than money. If there Is not a God-fearing nation behind .them, milliqps spent on foreign missions will be of no avail. — ; J- Master Liable for .Servant’s Death Though Servant Was Warned of pangers. A sawmill employe was fatally inqnred while oiling a band saw pulley. ; At the time of the injury he was using .the more dangerous, but more convenient of -the two methods of oiling the pulley, and was following his usual practice although he had been warned not to do so. The warning had been given a number of yedrs before the accident, and the method actually used had been followed for a loug time. , I erdier was directed for defendant in the widow’s action for death, and the judgment rendered was reversed by the Supreme Court of Mississippi in Hardy v.; Turner-Farber-Love Company, 101 Southern Reporter. 455). The opinion of the tourt "was written by Mr. Justice Holdens Who: said in discussing the ef fect of'lhe warning grveu .to the deceased servant: ■ * “It seems t.h*t the warning of the danger given the deceased, and the in struction to him to use the safe method, were given him about six yearK before the date of the injury, and all during the time since, while the deceased oiled the pulleys several times each day by us ing the dangerous way, there was on ob jection by the employer, but by his con duct he approved the use of the danger ous way. which was more convenient and agreeable to the deceased * * * this is in effect, was the furnishing of a danger ous place to the servant in which to per form his work, if the jury so believe.” The hurry, bustle and incessant drive of the American temperament is responsible for the peculiar and char acteristic American mortality increase during the ‘dangerous age’ period, be tween 40 and 50 years.” says Dr. Wil liam S. Sadler, nationally known physi cian.
