Friday, February 16, 1934 The Demands on the Church The troubles of the world today are j>erhaps caused more than anything els** by the failure to support the church, which is Clod's own institution to not only purify the hearts of men but t" elevate the minds and awaken the consciences so that the fabric of society may be raised 10 a plane that will make men better. An article taken from The Living Churchman, which we print below, outlines some of the demands made on the church, and shows what people expect of the church: "We expect the church to be on hand. A family of Simpson church was in trouble this week. For months past the members have not been in church service. Their pledge to the current expenses of the church was only partly paid and no new one made for this year. The whole attitude of the family toward the church was one of indifference and neglect. "But now they were in trouble!" "The family came to the church to see if we could not help They'asked that other work be set aside while we attended to their matters. In fact, the sit uation was so serious that everything had to be set aside until their problem was cared for. v» "Yet the church had come to them in times past on a dozen occasion* when it was in need, and they blithe ly dismissed the appeal saying, "We can't do any thing." If all the church had followed their exam ple, there would have been no one at the services at all lor nearly a year past> There would be no fuel in the bins, no bills paid, no credit, no pastor, no pro gram. "But when they were in trouble, they expected the church to be open and ready to help—and we were ready to help. We did all we could. But the fact that we were ready Co assist was due to the fact that some of the people are faithful and dependable. "You may be in trouble tomorrow. You will want the church very badly. Jn fact, you may need its as sistance desperately. Will it be open and ready to help you in that hour of your great need? If it is open and ready, who keeps it open and who gets it ready? Are you helping keep it o|>eii for yourself? Or are you depending on others to keep it open and ready for you? "You expect the church to be open and ready when you need it. Are you ready when the church needs you? Would you be willing for the church to make the same excuses to you that you make to it?" Gratifying News The news that there is a |>ossibility of a salary in crease for school teachers in the coming year is indeed gratifying. At the present time, the salary of the teacher is lower, in proportion, than any other work, when preparation and requirements are considered. \\ e tind foremen, engineers, and others standing on ditchbanks and other places drawing much more salary every month than the teacher is getting, and ' n many cases surh men are totally ignorant and incompetent, wasting more money than the salaries of a dozen good teachers would amount to. No one denies the fact that the schools are not now perfect, nor have they ever been so. But in the school lies the only hope for democracy and free govern ment. The work of the public school in America is the light that is directing our government today. So let us not forget the public school The boys and the -.girls need an education much worse than they need a big estate. Educate at any cost, and do it in the public free school. It requires the best teachers, and they must be compensated by reasonable salaries. Trade Stimulators General Johnson, NRA Administrator, finds it nec essary to warn the public of certain parties operating iu the country in the name of trade stimulators, who seem to go to individuals and organizations with a plea similar to the NRA's buy-now campaign. Ihe government has not delegated any such priv ileges to any one, and people should beware of men coning around organizing "better trade" mmpnigno and the like and charging for such service, until they 6nt find out something about these solicitors. It is far better to get service and then pay for it than it is to pay for service and then not get it ifcf Mr- - ,-S ' T- : ' Maternity Mortality Maternity mortality has been discussed at length in Kforth Carolina recently by doctors, laity, and the press. The causes assigned by the doctors are the trinity—ignorance, carelessness, and dirt. Yet we were never so wise, nor so clean in all the past as we are today. All the books on anatomy and everything pertain ing to sex are wide open to the youth of the land, both male and female. There seems to be no more secrets, nor sacredness, to the philosophy of life. So the 555 mothers who died in this state last year in childbirth may have been sacrificed in part from the improper use of. the knowledge of things which, in former days, were held more sacred than they are fhe wonder is that there are not more deaths in these trying ordeals than there are; that is, if all the purported practices actually exist. Ignorance is of course to be deplored, and the doc tors may be entirely right. On the other hand, we seem to know more and cure Jess about these sacred things of life than ever before. So far as dirt is concerned, there is certainly much less than there was 2 5 years ago. Through the schools and other agencies, conditions along this line have doubtless improved no less than 50 per cent. Stronger willpower and a sincere desire to propa gate the race in a more honorable manner will save the lives of many women. Taking Too Much Time The comic strips, the talking pictures, and the var ious kinds of ball games are taking too much time and leading the youthful mind too far from the line of straight direct thinking. All these things tend to suggest play and fun and fail to suggest work and the better things in life. We will have to turn some day. A Dangerous Precedent When the courts of one state demand the body of a man to appear before the tribunals of such state, it has the power to arrest provided such person is within the confines of the state. After escaping the outer boundaries of such state and entering the do main of another state, the only way to secure the re turn of such person to answer to the charges in the state where the crime was committed is through ex tradition. In the case of the assassination of Governor Goebel of Kentucky a number of years ago the governor of another state refused to surrender the assassin for trial in the courts of Kentucky. A Federal judge in a New England state last year refused to permit the return of a colored man'to Vir ginia for trial on a murder charge until a mandate for his return was handed down by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, which ordered the compliance by the New England governor of the requisition of the Virginia government. The. Government of Greece has recently complied with a requisition for the return of Samuel Insull, the utilities magnate. Now, it seems that North Carolina is refusing to return a prisoner to a neighboring state, and, of course, it is possible that the authorities of our State may 1m- right. On the other hand, both the defendant and the state have the right to a day in couift, to be heard by a jury of their peers, to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused, under -the laws of the state in which the crime was committed. A violation of this principle would seem to be the grossest stroke possible against state rights, which have always recognised that a sovereign state has the right to pass laws governing her subjects unless in violation of the United States Constitution. When the practice of denying a state the right to arrest and bring her subjects before the bar of justice is fostered, all that will be necessary for any culprit to stay free will be enough money to push his case. It is better for a man to suffer an injustice occasion ally by his home people than it is for the state to be unable to bring its lawbreakers before the bar of jus tice. All Aboard for Hollywood Pegram in Mor gout on News-Herald Seven-year-old Betty Sutton, of Lenoir, is an un usually bright child. She reads the movie magazines and never misses anything about the star actresses; in fact, she is well versed in the goings and comings of movieland misses. Betty was talking with a young woman the other day, and, to put at rest a question which had bothered her no little, asked: "Why don't you go into "the movies? You're pretty, and you've already got your divorce?" One Kind of Subscriber Monroe Enquirer. One day last week while one of The Enquirer's sub-* scribers was paying (or another year, he related that a neighbor, who was over a year in arrears on his sub scription, had said he did not propose to pay because he had not ordered the paper sent to him after the subscription had expired. Well, within the past year I have seen the delin quent on the greets a number of times. If- he did not intend paying, the gentlemanly thing to have done was to notify me to take his name off the mailing list. However, I am happy to say the man in question is most unusual in his attitude. The past three or four years have been tough ones with the most of us> I've had no desire to cut any one of our subscribers from the mailing list. By not doing so they are paying up now when conditions arMmproving. Any man who will say he cannot pay for»his paper because of finan ciaFreverses, we shall 'remember it no more forever." But a good citizen rarely goes about bragging that he will not pay an hooot debt. -L asiadaaxNg 3HJ ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified ai administrator of the estate of W. J.

The Company haa again added to its record a year of satisfactory progreaa. The increase in insurance in force for the year was more than $3,000,000.00. Ia view of economic conditions which prevailed in 19)3 with raaultant heavy lapses, we consider even this small increase an out standing achievement. Our aaaeta were increased by $977,>36.64, and there was a gain in surplus of $245,914.13. An addition of $500,000.00 was made to our spe cial contingency reserve fund, which now totals $4,000,000.00. Payments to policyholders and beneficiaries, including policy loan advances, amounted to $10,5(3,097.31. The Company's financial policy has been maintained on the same con servative lines as in the past, investments being made with safety of prin cipal the first consideration. Realizing the disturbed state of the public mind in regard to financial institutions, ultusually large reserves of cash and government bonds were carried throughout the year to meet any de mands that might be made for payiuentj under policy contracts, whether death claims, surrender values, or policy loans. Capital, surplus and special contingency reserves at the end of th year amounted to $14,637,805.33, thus providing a lar»» rtargin of safel for our policyholders- Hkaui-'ohu H.
