Should Celebrate Armistice Day
Armtice Day will be celebrated
Thursday, the 11th. No one day in
all history has pleased so many peo
ple as did November 11, 1918, when
twenty million soldiers and about five
hundred million peopte engaged in
war stood at dead silence as the
clock struck 11, and ended the great
est war in all history.
Community Saddenec
It is beyond memory T>f our oldest
citizens to recall an act bringing forth
a more general expression of sym

almost.as intimate friends, was cast
when the news of the dastardly deed
Can Preachers Colle
Gambling debts and debts for the
illegal sale of liquor have no standing
in the court, anil can not be enforced,
according to decisions of long stand
ing. '
tomes before the State supreme court,
the enforcement of the payment of a
preacher's salary.
This case comes from the pastor
oi a chCirch in. one of our North Car
olina Counties. The pa.stor claims
that he wa» to receive from the or
ganized church board of his congre
gation a specified- sum, which has
been paid only in part. The balance
uue is the basis of. the suit.
The preacher claims it was a valid
binding legal contract, while the flock
leaders declare that the basis of the
contract was nothing more nor less
than the faith in the membership to
contribute the agreed amount, which
was to be on a free and voluntary
basis; that the faith in the congre
gation to tribute the full sum had
failed, and for that reason the pay
ments had not been met as expected.
The' Church hoard claims that all
church obligations to raise funds for
liny purpose is by free and voluntary i
gifts, and that when such voluntary

We should rejoice at any day that
