Friday, January 6,1928 •- * # , The Dawn of a Better Day Ninetween hundred and twenty eight has plenty in store for all those who try. Some few folks are growl ing and whining about the hard times ahead. But the oomplainers have been on earth since its earliest his tory and are still here, and some will, be here to pester the next generation There are always a lot of loafers go ing through the land for working folks to feed We, unfortunately, 1 bear more complaints from those who \ do not work than we hear from those ; who do. Our section of the country certain ly has a good show for a prosperous year. It owes less money than it has W. O. Saunders and Edgar A. Guest's Debate Edgar A. Guest and W. O. Saun ders, bothdistinguished writers, have* recently written on the subject of church going; Mr. finest, of I)e - why he likes to go fo church, while Mr Saunders, editor of the Elizabeth City Imic- tells why he dot's not like to go to church Mr. Saunders is well known throughout a large set tion of the country because of the strength of his writing and his pow er to express himself. He really does not use a pen in his writing, but car ries a two-edged sword and parts asunder the bone and marrow of everything crossing his path. But when he comes down to the church, he appears not quite so well versed as when he is handling (own politics, political corruption, and So cial scandal. Mr. Saunders took Mr. Guest to task in an editorial recently for a clause which appeared in Mr. Guests article, in which he said, "I do not join with non-believers and non STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE ' "FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK WILLIAMSTON, N.

TOTAL RESOURCES OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS since it "busted" in 1920; *it has more cash on hand than at any time since 1920; it has more provisions for both man and beast than at any time since Columbus discovered America. And, best of all, the people , have more sanity than at any time since the war upheaval. We possibly have a better spirit of cooperation, one interest with another, all work -1 ing for the general good, than ever ! before. I j With all of our advantages for starting the new year, we have no reason for not making 1928 a good year. - church goes, because I see no hope / where they would take me. I see f them trying to lead me and my chil dren into license and debauchery, in ) to a cruel struggle for existence on , j the earth and to a hopeless death bed at the last. I wilr not set my face or : | the faces of my children toward such i a wilderness," To this Mr. Saunders excepts. He says that "Eddie Guest ? 'siip|>ed a cog'," and then attempts - to dispute and prove Mr. Guest's i error. Although Mr. Saunders had said in his magazine article "I believe in Jesus and the things He taught . . . I Very heartily do I believe in Him and ' | His teachings," he disagrees when M Mr. Guest sets up the church as the 1 cenfer in which people gather to wor •! ship, whether it be in a house, on j a hillside, or on the seashore. They >j gather with one purpose, to worship I'the God who made them, the earth, 5 the skies, and the sea, in the spirit t and fellowship of love that Christ - taught while on earth. Mr, Caun ders says he does not like to do that; he had rather go down to his native | sand dunes and marshes and read) Emerson or Durant's Story of Philos- j ophy, where he gets more inspiration; than in a month's sermons. He fur-' ther states that in the stars, the rest less and resistless billows of the sea, j in the dimpled laughter of babies 1 wriggling their pink and awkward little toes, "I see God." Certainly,' if Mr. Saunders can see God and be- i lieve in Christ, he is up with any church goer, and possibly needs no church. Yet he is commanded to do more; he must go to church and help others to see God or there is a possibility of getting away from God himself. •i „ 1 Where Mr. Saunders makes his | greatest blunder is when he intro- ! duces infidels and agnostics to prove' his points^taking those men who, he' sa\s, lived in his own town and who! believed in neither God nor Christ. I He with apparent delight, cites young Hichman as "a nice lit- 1 tie Sunday-school boy and active in the church.'' He faili to say that' young Hickman was alright as long as he was in the church, truthful, honest and trusted; but that when PENDER'S THE BETTER CHAIN STORES .

The same thing al so applied to Judas Iscariot. He left | the cotnpany of Jesus and deserted ! His teachings and then betrayed Him 'for sls; only to reflect later, and 'then, filled with remorse, crossed the ! Valley of Hinnom and hanged him 'self. The church is truth and love. The members of the church, or those en rolled as members, may not possess I much of either truth or love, and may be subjects for much criticism, and jas much hindrance as they are help ! to the church, yet no man can hon estly measure the church according !to its weakest members. Nor does i the man have much to boast of who |is simply better than some church i members. It is the duty of every man to live up to the principles of that church of which Jesus said "the gates of hell shall not prevail against,'' awl no man, yhetlier he be Christian, semi-Christian, infidel, ag nostic or atheist, can shake. Let Mr Saunders show us the man i Better Tobacco—Not More Tobacco 1 Are *e going to try to raise too much tobacco? From every indica tion, the Bright Leaf Territory, ex tending from the Potmoac River to the Florida line, is planning to strain itself for a big crop. Doubtless a big crop will mean low prices, and it is almost certain to mean poor quality, because when a fanner has more tobacco than he can take care of, he is certain to have a poor crop. who grew stronger in citizenship, in character, in love for humanity and reverence for God by leaving the church and who died happier there by.
