Questions To THE COURIER Or Direct To Mr. Herbert.
QUESTION: I am In a small busi
ness and wish to tithe my income,
giving one tenth to my Lord. How
should I follow this purpose.
ANSWER: See Leviticus 27:30. Hie
tithe is well-founded upon the
scripture, and is a very fine and
practical basis for the Christian to
give -of his money. If a man in a
small business wishes to give one
tenth to his Lord, the tenth natur
ally should come out of his net in
come from his business. It should
be noted that some people should ]
and some do give more than the
one-tenth. As a practicable basis
for giving, however, the one-tenth
tithe is a splendid plan. It makes
for finer Christian living, it makes
for deeper Christian experience.
QUESTION: I find these words in
the scripture: "It is recorded among
the chief rulers, many believed on
Him, but because of the Pharisees
they did not confess Him, lest they
should be put out of the Synagogue,
for they loved the praise of men
more than the praise of God." Do
you believe that a true Christian
then or now loves the praise of
men more than the praise of the
Loving and Merciful God? (T. K.J)
ANSWER: This question from a
good man is inspired by the in
consistency practiced among con
fessing christians about him. . .
They appear to show more care for
the love and praise of men than for
the love and praise of God. For ans
wer I would suggest that there are
three kinds of people in our Christ
iaih churches; First: men and wo
man who belong to the church but
have no interest whatsoever in the
spiritual life. "Hiey are possessed of
no Christian experience, immediate
or by growth, and have no intent
and purpose of really espousing the
tenets of the true Christian Faith.
Such are not interested in the
praise and love of God, and will
never be so until they seek Him
and find him Second, men and wo
men who belong to the church, and
do have an interest in the real
fruits of the Christian life, but are
weak and often stumble. They love
their Lord, but do not live close to
Him. With such people we should
be patient rather than critical, pray
ing for them rather than condemn
ing them, nurturing them with our
lives, for they want to do what is
right, and they lack only the close
ness to Christ that is essential to
the true Christian
Third: That group of devout
Christian people who are truly put
ting Christ first in all things. I
think the group is larger than we
are inclined often to acknowledge
These put Him first, caring little
for the praise of men. Their ideal
is to serve God and their fellows,
regardless of what their fellows
think of them. You have some in
your charge, I in mine. May their
tribe increase.
QUESTION; In the Question Box
of last week, you said that the
plan of giving prises at shows, to
holders of lucky ticket numbers,
was a form of gambling. Upon ma
ture reflection, would you still make
this statement?
ANSWER: Certainly, why not?
There is no difference in principle
between that and shooting "craps",
if so, where is it?

Famous Dog Of
Screen To Appear
Palace Theatre
Kapitan, Son Of Rin Tin Tin,
Said To Be World's Most
Intelligent Canine,
Here Saturday
Kapitan, son of an equally fam
ous father, Rin Tin Tin, will visit
the Palace Theatre Saturday .April
6th.
This famous dog actor performs
stunts which seem to require hu
man intelligence. Recently Kap
itan was featured in Ripley "Be
lieve it or Not," as the dog was the
most intelligent canine actor in
the world, and rightfully it is be
lieved that the public is being of
fered a rare opportunity to see a
dog, which has astounded hund
reds of thousands with his super
intelligence.
Kapitan is now on a nation-wide
tour and has appeared in theatres
in practically every large city of the
country and many of the smaller
ones.
He is recognized by the motion pic
ture profession on the west coast
as the most beautiful and highly
educated dog ever to appear on the
movie screen. During his engage
ment at the Palace Theatre he will
perform for you just as he works
before the lights and cameras of
Hollywood.
He will also solve problems in
arithmetic given him by his audi
ence. This is the feat that has
baffled scientists as well as Uni
versity Professors at Johns Hop
kins, Michigan State, Notre Dame
and Harvard where Kapitan per
formed before student bodies and
faculty members.

With the farmers receiving al
most a hundred thousand dollars for
tobacco which they did not pro
duce ? for land kept out of cultiva
tion, with no expense whatever, it
would appear that there would be
very few in this good County who
would need to have occasion to bor
row for the purpose of securing
seed and fertilizer, or to make the
coming crop. Of cpurse, if you
really need it, then borrow it, but
be sure you do need it before going
further in debt.

"Yes, Alice Virginia, there is a
! Santa Claus/' and he does not con
line his visits to Christmas. He
visited many of the farmers of this
good County here last * ^veek, and
dropped In their stockings ? or pock
et-books close to one hundred
thousand dollars. Uncle Sam was
distributing rental checks to the
farmers, and glad smiles were on
the face of every one. The court
house, with Mr. Sanders' office as
the principal place of attraction,
was a busy place for several days
last week.
And still the land keeps too wet
flor cultivation, but it has given
the farmers an opportunity to get
everything in shape so that when
they can get to plowing nothing
will interfere.

Indications are that there will
be considerable building done in and
around Roxboro this spring and
summer. Money Is easy to be had
through the Government projects
and through the Building & Loan
Association, and not only citizens
of the town, but in the country,
are taking advantage of the op
portunity.

No, dirt has not been broken for
that post office building, but notice
has been served on our genial post
master and our able and energetic;
Congressman, that if dirt is not
broken soon we will break some
body's back. Fair warning.
