BNFJGI IBOR of ours has suddenly discovered that
she is very wealthy. We almost said, she awoke
to find herself rich, but North Carolina has been wide
awake all the time—and that largely accounts for her
I wealth.
She is spending her fortune wisely and generously.
$100,000,000 for roads—s3o,ooo,ooo a year for
schools. And the consequence is, that the valuation
I of her propei ty increased one thousand per cent, in
l twenty years, or from $306,579,000 in 1900 to
$3,130,703,000 in 1920.
She is building solidly for the future and there are no
clouds on her horizon.
North Carolina is a nearby market. Our salesmen can
I reach her without great traveling expense. She
welcomes them. She prefers to buy goods from states
with whom she has long been closely allied. And she
is eve r growing as a market. Her newspapers, through
advertising, offer the most effectual and economical
ft means of reaching her buyers.

Bible Teaching in the Kiblic Schools ,
Wilmington Star.
A lecturer of the Seventh Day Ad
rrnti.it Churcfe, speaking in W&nhing
ton several weak* ago, asserted that
neither the Bible hot the theory of
evolutian haa a right to be included
in the public school curriculum. Now
a taxpayer in a western state has se
cured a temporary restraining order
preventing the teaching of the Bible
in the public schools of his state.
The Washington preacher was criti
ciaed for his views, while the western
layman haa raised a storm of protest.
Overtealoua Christiana have accused
each of them with something but lit
tle short of sacrilege.
So far as the teaching of the Bible
is concerned, both are right. No
surer or quicker way of bringing the
Scriptures into disrepute among the
rising generation cad be devised than
by teaching the Bible in the public
schools. Before the all important
task of instilling into the child mind
the proper respect for, and appre
ciation of the Bible, can be safely
relegated to the public school, the
widely divergent beliefs which now
characterise the various Christian
sects must come nearer to a com
mon ground. The public school is
non-sectarian; the Bible is non-sec
tarian, but individually the thousands
of school children and their parents
are decidedly sectarian in their be
The Task at Duke University.
North Carolina Christian Advocate.
President Few, in Epworth Era.
In short, our task here is not sim
ply to build a new university, but
rather to build a new kind of uni
versity. Noble as this is, pursuit of
the truth, about which we bear so
much as being the true aim of a uni
versity, can never be motive high
enough for us. Motive must nlao
contemplate the rule of righteousness
in the world. This will come not
through even high and disinterested
search for the truth but through a
certain essence of character, moral
as well as intellectual, in which in
heres a power to know the truth and
a will to live it And all this must be
done if done at all, in an atmosphere
that is perfectly free and at the same
time whole-heartedly Christian. We I
here are going to do our port loyally.
Is our constituency wise enough and
good enough to produce a soil and at

Cat’s Tongue Brings Back

llefs and interpretation of things re
ligious.
To attempt to teach the Bible un
der such circumstances is to invite
dissension and create such a conflict
in the mind of the child as to banish
gll respect for the Word of Gad as
such. The Baptist teacher cannot
interpret the Bible of the Methodist,
Catholic, Jewish and Presbyterian
student with any hope of having such
instruction harmonise in general with
the home training of the individual
child. Minor differences of the va
rious creeds will loom large. Par
ents will seek to correct the so-called
erroneous impressions the teacher has
left, and the student will become en
meshed in a hopeless mate of conflict
ing beliefs that will gradually and
surely give way to contempt and skep
ticism.
It is not necessary for all to agree
upon the minor point of the Scrip
tures. Faith in rather than knowl
edge of the Bible is the dominating
influence of a Christian life. As in
' all things there can be no ironclad
rule of standard. The same test of
spiritual perfection cannot be applied
uniformly. The circle of family
prayer and the counsel heard at moth
er's knee are far superior to the rou
i tine study period of the average pub
lic school.

Uncle lludy was awake.
When Althans was painting the
roof of hi* house, three months ago;
the cat followed him all over the root,
plaintively begging him to halt fob a
massage. It. was on one of these days
that Uncle Rudy passed his hand rum
inntively over his head and discovered

the house and stood before a mirror,

Hundreds of Hairs There.
Lo! —not one or a dozen hairs were
there, but hundreds, literally hundreds.
The light behind his head was caught
in this growth and a nimbus-like ef

skeptical, however, Althans decided to
keep his secret until he noted more
and longer hair.
As the hair has grown longer and
thicker since this time, he decided yes
