FREEDOM AND GOD In a general but pretty con sistent way the spread oi mod ern democracy seems to be tied up to the Christian religion. Democracy existed before, Christianity, but it was a de- J mocracy so limited that we j would "hardly call it by that | name now. It is estimated that only ten per cent of the inhabi- I tants of Athens were citizens., Probably less than that propor- j tion of the Roman Empire were; Roman citizens. And in either | case, since the presentation was' unknown, the citizens them- j selves could only vote by attend- j ing the meetings in the amphi theatre or forum. Citizenship was only rarely conferred on aliens who became subjects of Greece or Rome. There was no notion that all men were entit led to equal rights. But as democracy began to re vive after the Dark Ages it re vived under the influence of a new religion. It is true that The practices of government often violated the teachings of that religion just as the practises of the church itself did. But the basic teaching was always there: it kept reasserting itself: and it was something new: a new influ ence on the thoughts and actions of men. The parts of that religion which concern theology have been variously interpreted and have led to many different sects and schisms, many o/ which have been hostile and some of. which have warred on each oth er with bloodthirsty forocity. But the part which teaches us about the nature of man has been geti-j erally agreed on by all Chris tians and has slowly affected the nature of government in most j Christian countries. That part states that all men j are sinful and likewise that all men are sacred. Since all are j sacred it is wrong to deny to any of them what we call their rights. In a democracy they are all entitled to equal rights. What these rights are has been strong ly developed through the gener ations. At first they were mere ly a fair trial and freedom from serfdom; now it is perhaps the vote, tomorrow it may be good health or economic opportunity. But in any case the rights, what ever they are. are held to belong equally to all men because all men share equally in some di vine spirit which must not be violated by other men. But likewise the Christian be lief is that all men are sinful. It is therefore unwise to trust any man with absolute power. The Church pretended at times that Kings were under God's guidance and could therefore do no wrong. But for several cen turies now kings have been dis posable like anybody else. . There are many democrats who are not Christians and there are many among the clergy in every age who are not demo cratic; indeed, as each sect gets more highly organized it tends to line up with the ruling or the moneyed class. It is hard, however, in the present state of the world, to imagine a whole people devot ed to democracy unless sustain ed by Christianity in some form. It is a comfort then, to reflect that as old forms degenerate and sects grow rich and reactionary ary, the spirit of Christianity seems able to renew itself re peatedly and to rise from the ashes of man's weakness in new births. GO FISHING WITHOUT GAS It's okay with Mr. Ickes if the State's ardent fishermen continue their sport, but, he says, "We still think it's a good idea for them to fish when they can and where they can without extra gasoline." Gaso line fer fishing trips won't be avail able, no matter how productive of food the sport may be. j GRAINS Of SAND [ Since their school closed for the j summer. Mrs. Hayes and her sister !

THE Public Speaking We reprint extracts from letters received since last week's issue. The first is taken from one requesting a change of address. The Pilot: ... I am leaving for the moun tains and do not want to miss your paper. I enjoy The Pilot more than I can say. Some day in happier times I hope to return to the charming town of Southern Pines where I spent many happy days. I shall re turn to My Ventnor home after La bor Day but will advise you later. —MRS. JAMES W. PONDER. Ventnor, N. J. From A. J. Maxwell, director of the Department of Tax Research of the State of North Carolina comes a letter to James Boyd in which ref erence is made to Mr. Hugh Dave Mac Whirr's book Probably a lot of Mr. Maxwell's friends do not know that he was once a newspaper man. Dear Mr. Boyd: . . . One idea that I get from; this pamphlet, which I have read; with a great deal of interest, is that you are selling the paper too cheap, when two dozen eggs come within ten cents of paying for a six months' subscription. When as a young man i I was publishing the Columbus News at Whiteville my subscription price was just half what yours is, but it took ten dozen eggs at that time to pay for a dollar's worh of sub scription. or four fat hens. Cordially yours, —A. J. MAXWELL. From Raleigh comes money for a subscription in a letter which says, in part: I got a copy of The Pilot some time ago and found that it was a much better paper than the last one I saw years ago. One objection: at that time I wanted to go to preach ing at Cypress again. I did not know the date and hour of services and searched The Pilot, but failed to find it. So we people a "fur piece off" would appreciate a church calendar in the paper. —MRS. J' LEE JOHNSON. 225 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh, N.

"This country has to supply not I only our own Army and Navy with petroleum products," Mr. Maurice continued, "but England and dozens | of other bases throughout the world. To train one pilot requires 250 hours or 12,500 gallons of gas, and every plane in combat burns 100 gallons j per hour for each motor. This coun try alone has over 100.000 planes in j service, and this enormous consump tion has to be handled mainly' through the Eastern seaboard. Every drop we can save is vital." 1 ~ — —— —r .. ~. .«** I Sunrise theatre j SOUTHERN PINES. N. C. Shows Nightly at 7:30 and 9:15 P. M. | MATINEE SATURDAY and SUNDAY AT 3:00 j Saturday.
