The Baptist Column Edited by S. L. MORGAN SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GIRLS The executive committee of the Johnston association is authorized to offer three scholarships wortih $100 each to girls in the association, the scholarships applying to their expen ses in the Pineland School for Girls and Junior College for Young Wom en at Salemburg, N. C. I pass on the offer as a thing of value. Girls se curing the scholarship can attend the school a year for approximately $150, so it is claimed. And I am fairly well acquainted with the school and its principals, Rev. and Mrs. W J. Jones I have visited the school twice, and know it to be an excellent! school, with an exceptionally wholesome moral and reigious atmosphere. Last year the standard of the school was raised to that of a Junior College. Salemburg is one of the best rural communities in the State, giving tone to the school. Any worthy girl desiring the scholar ship should apply promptly to me or ho our moderator, R. H- Gower, of Clayton. Preference of course would be given, other things being equal, to girls with a record for earnest Christian purpose and superior at- i tainments as students. Two Smith field girls ars students in the Pine land school, and any who are inter ested can secure helpful information from them. BAPTIST S. S. ASSOCIATION Last Sunday representatives from a good number of our churches and Sunday schools met at Four Oaks in response to a general letter sent out, and voted to organize a Johnston Bap tist Sunday school association. Mr. Levinson of Benson was chosen pres ident. It was understood that each of the four districts into which the as sociation is divided will have a quar terly institute or convention, and that all Baptist Sunday schools in the as sociation will meet once a year in a general convention. For some time the need of such an organization has been felt as a means of stimulating the Sunday school work throughout the Johnston. All our association is saaaenea Dy the recent death of one of our able pastors, Rev. J. S- Connell, of the Trinity field. He had been on the field little more than a year, and was sup posed to be in good health until late ly. A complication of diseases set in, and the end came rapidy- The sym pathy and prayers of many of our people will be offered for the sorrow ing widow and daughter. Material was on the ground for beginning a par sonage near Trinity. All the church es of the field, it is hoped, will get together promptly and take steps looking to the calling of a pastor. At least one desirable man is before the executive committee, and they of fer their services to the field for any help they can render. They take for granted Pauline will unite with the the other churches of the field in ex tending a call to a new pastor. Special congratulations are offered Pisgah church in the great revival that has recently come to it, with an increase of about 75 per cent in its membership, many *of the new mem bers being mature and substantial men and women. No rural church in the association has been making a finer record for the last few years, and it may be reasonably hoped that Pastor McGregor will now be called for at least three Sundays, and that the church in due time wil go to full time. Baptist Center also had a great revival ith more than fifty addi tions Revivals art going' on in many other i: eht or will soon be held, and 11", .e is i . o.-poct that the year will K is ikable for the unprece dented number of additions to the churches. I shall be grateful for a line from all churches telling of the results of revival meetings, and giv ing any other news of interest. A Wandering Defense Mr. Harrow has not only lost his temper several times too often; he seems to have lost his bearings as well and to be more interested in successful repartee than in a convinc ing presentation of the mai nissue in the case. That issue is whether the state of Tennessee may consistently with American doctrine of the sepa ration of church and state establish the Bible of the Fundamentalists as the official standard of truth in its public schools. The defense has all but lost sight of this issue. It has presented, for ex ample, affidavits from a number of scientists to show what they would have “proved” if the judge had been willing to listen to them. Some of them apparently would have proved that the Bible can be “reconciled” with “science,” and some would have “proved” that “evolution” is a “fact.” It is just as well they did not have the chance to befog the issue with such proofs. For they are not only irrelevant to any sound theory of op position to the Tennessee law, they are destructive of what ought to be the main contention of the defense. For any attempt to prove in court that science can be squared with the Bible is to admit the premise of the Fundamentalists that a religious test may be set up officially to control public agencies. What, for example, is the essential difference between Mr. Bryan, who quotes Genesis, i., 26, and Prof. Kirtly F. Mather, ii. Peter, 8?’They are both arguing as if a branch of the Amer ican government had the right to treat a Biblical text as part of fundament al law of the land. The Tennessee law is objectionable precisely for this reason, and it is a very poor service to truth and liberty for the defense to set about showing how much more cleverly than Mr. Bryan it can inter pret the Bible. If it really represents the American tradition of religious liberty it should be denying that any interpretation of the Bible, Funda mentalist or Modernist, Catholic or Jewish, can be recognized by any leg islature or by any court as an offi cial standard of truth. When the de fense atempts to show that the Mod ernist version of the Bible is more intelligent than the Fundamentalist it abandons its case. Just because the World believes that there is a serious issue underly ing the Dayton trial it has no sym pathy at all for the manner in which Mr. Darrow heckled Mr. Bryan. The attempt to prove as part of the legal record that Mr Bryan is ignorant of many things has nothing to do with the case. When Mr. Bryan said “I have all the information I want) to live by and to die by;” when he said “I believe it (the Bible) was inspired by the Almighty”; when he said “I believe in creation as there told, and accept' it,” he was announcing a faith for which he is not accountable in any court of law, nor fairly sub ject to ridicule at the bar of public opinion. The only question is whether Mr. Bryan shall be permitted to establish his religion officially in the state of Tennessee.

The only question is whether he shall be allow ed to call out the police. Mr. Darrow achieves nothing but obfuscation when he makes it appear that Mr. Bryan’s campaign would be any less objec tionable if Mr- Bryan had read more books and took a more sophisticated view of the Bible. For it would be just a sobjectionable if Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick were trying to make his Bible the official standard of truth in Tennessee. Mr. Darrow has no right to atback Mr. Bryan’s religion. That is wholly Mr. Bryan’s private affair. What is legitimately an object of attack is the effort of Mr. Bryan to impose his religion upon the government of a state. It is upon the pretension to use the government for a sectarian purpose that the champions of relig ious liberty should concentrate their Ifire-—New York World. STATE 1:'AIK NOW PUBLIC INSTITUTION Raleigh, July 27-—The North Caro lina State Fair is now more of a pub lic institution than ever before. Not only js it supported by public funds but it is also goverened by a Board I of Directors representing North Car olina and particularly the State Col lege of Agriculture and the State De partment of Agriculture. For this reason it should be sup i ported by people from all sections of the State and not alone by those who j | live adjacent to Raleigh, believes O. | Max Gardner, President of the Fair ! this year. Mr. Gardner believe* that farmers particularly should start at this time to select and prepare at tractive and worth while exhibits for the fair this fall. This must be done, : he says, if these exhibits are to com pete successfully for public attention i and interest with the amusement fea- : tures of the fair. “The North Carolina State Fair is primarily an educational and if it is to fulfill its purpose, quality must be 'one of the outstanding considerations in preparing exhibits. This applies to .the individual entries of products in the field crops, horticultural and live stock departments as well as in the county, individual farm and commun i ity exhibits,” says President Gardner. ' The State Fair this year will run the entire week of October 12. A num ber of new classes have been opened for competition, especially for live j stock growers, and no livestock man At night aftet the evening meal is the "Wright hour”.
