AN EDITOR’S SERMON.
Winston-Salem Journal.
Editors of daily newspapers or trade
publications are not in the hubit ordinar
ily of preaching sermons.
And yet occasions sometimes arise
when that kind of thing seems to be en
tirely in place.
Such an occasion arose recently with
reference to that Scopes case, aud the
result was a cover page editorial by Rich
ard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufac
turers Record, thut was a reul gem.
Here it is:
"While irreligious influences are seed
ing to make the "utoukey” trial at Day
ton, Tenn., the occasion for filling the
papers of the land with the wildest sen
sationalism, poking fun in every way pos
sible at the people of Tennessee and
elsewhere who believe in the Bible aud
accept its teachings, it has seemed not
iun'ppropriute for & business paper si»eh
as the Manufacturers Record to publish
in this issue a lay sermon. This is done
not. only because of the relation of Chris
tianity to this life aud to the lift of the
world to route, but likewise because relig
ion is the foundation, and the only sure
foundation, on the which to build busi
ness slid civilization. •’
“We know that a large proportion of'
the readers of the Manufacturers Record
believe in Christianity, believe in the *
“old-time religion" as it has been called,!
the religion of the prayer-meeting, the
religion which accepts Christ as the Son
of God, and His sacrifice upon the Cross
as Heaven's only means of saving a lost
world, and that they will not, therefore,
that this paper in publishing a sermon ia
stepping outside of its proper field.
“If there had been any other way by !
which man could have been saved, then.
Calvary would have been a fearful trage
dy, an indefinite blunder. While man
cannot fathom the mysteries of this world
or the next, and mystery la everywhere,
he can learn by- personal experience the
reality of the lesson as he looks upon
Calvary, where the Son of God died that
men might be saved—saved not only for
tbe world to come, but saved from the
domination of sin in this world.”
Tbe Manufacturers Record has said
many fine things from time to time, but
nothing better than the above.
It is particularly impressive, coming as
it does from a business publication of such '
outstanding influence in its line. i
'BIG CBOWD OF KANNAPOLIS
| FANS TO SEE SATURDAY GAME
Johnson la No Renegade.—Shoaf WIH
Probably Handle the Pitching End
, For the Local*.
’ By JAZZY MOORE
Kannapolis, July 81.—A large attend
ance from Kannapolis will be on hand
'to see the Gibson-Kannapolis game to
' morrow. Shoaf will probably draw the
! pitching assignment, while Hokdiouser i
will be he*d in readines to essay the
I “Fred Marberry” role, if the occasion
'demands. BarWaardt is the main re
liance of the club behind the bat.
Team Is Crippled.
i In the last game of the Uaeford se
ries an S. O. S. call had to be issued. 1
Wood was injured the previous day, .
Jordan sustained. , a painful injury,
Champion's arm was bad and the whole
blooming works were up against it. so i
as to speak. Holxholiser was trallei] to
perforin on the mound the second day hi
(fin-cession; Fink was rushed from Con
cord to play second base; the second 1
baseman was shifted to the initial sofa:
a catcher was placed in an outfield posi
tion, andi with a lineup as this, the Kan
napolians beat the best thing in the east
ern part of the state. And the same
men remain on the casualty list for the
big Saturday affair. But .the locals are
confident in spite of the injuries and
the huge task that face them. You
can't down a ball club that's determined
to win.
Johnson "Is' Back.
Johnny Johnson, champion home run
swatter of the nine, l.us returned to the
ranks after it had been rumored that he
had deserted the team because of Lind
sey's resignation. Oddly enough lie is
no cheap spert. In collegiate baseball
you are ruled ineligible if you are a
member of a ball club that plays more
than three games a week.

All Carolina continues to pour praise
upon Karnak, and it seems that the amaz

sensational as ’new tests are made.

"I owe a debt of gratitude to Karnak
that I will never be able to pay for nil
it lias done for me. I tell you, before
I got this remarkable medicine I was in
such miserable condition life was hard

able to work since.
“Everytfiing 1 ate seemed to turn to
gas and I would bloat up like a balloon
after every meal. I would have sharp
stomach pains, heart palpitation and
choking sensations. My nerves went all
to pieces, and 1 was just more miserable
than words can describe.

Turtorro charged that his bride. Mrs.

lessened tlie effect of his dramatic recital,
when she sauntered into the Grand Ave

quarrel,”

Although Magistrate Folwell was im
pressed by tlie young bride's story, lie

something I hadn't been able to do be

the greatest medicine that was ever
made, and words can't express my grati

Karnak is sold in Concord exclusively
by tlie Pearl Drug Co.; in Kannapolis

Plenty of Oil in Ground.
The reports that there will be a gaso

are unfounded; in the- opinion of A. C.

in the old fields and this will be taken
up when the demand warrants its cap

to obtain it. In many coses t'ais oil
left ip the fields is a rather high per
cent of the original supply. If the Cnited
States should be required to import con
siderable quantities of oil. thinks Red
ford, much of it would probably come
from South America.
