I'ari'iits' Imlifferrnre It was encouraging to review the reports com ing last week-end from Kinston where hun dreds of Boy Scouts were in a three-day camp. The potential power held by that group of boys is really unlimited and will, in time, match that turned out by the great hydro-electric plants. The hoys should be encouraged iilong the way. They should be helped. They should receive more attention from their elders. In Williamston, the elders have all but for saken the youngsters, and some of the parents apparently believe they have done their duty when thcv turn -their little Willie or Tommio over to the scoutmaster, leaving the leader to solve the youth's problems and worry with fi nancing ins training. It has been the practice -of the seuui mg.iiiuanun. mil tinly ht'i't1 but uvui a wide territory, to effect a closed organization not by actual acts but by- indirect, barriers. That these barriers were intentionally erected is to Ire denied, but it is a true condition that exists and the sad part about it is nothing is being done to remove thorn ' With the possible exception of two or three cases, the parents of Boy Scouts are amply able 10 nuance the training 01 uieir yodth. The class of boys in the organization are not dependent -upon a public support oven though they may bc_ entitled to it But it is an actual fact that pub lic subscriptions are necessary to finance the scout activities here, and according to reports a similar condition exists in other sections. It is an actual fact also that some parents found it inconyenieiit to transpoil then: own children to the camporee m Kmston las) week-end. They were tocr busy or they had to do this of that, ana possibly sunn1 of- the emmta were legiti mate and were to be accepted. In the response to the call for transportation, there was the indisputable fact that some parents were ready to shirk their duty and subject their children to the benefits created in part, at least, by pub lic charity. And yet some of those very parents will stand around and criticise a hungry waif for seeking a morsel of food at the hands of the public welfare. The scouts are doing a good work here, but their work will reflect no greater progress than the parents will make possible themselves. In Par-Off \ebraska Llkin Tribune. Senator Burke was a casualty of the primary voting in Nebraska last week. Burke, like other high-placed statesmen, rode into the Senate in 1984 on a New Deal platform, but like other sen ators, deserted the ship when there was a false notion that it might sink ? if enough augur holes could be bored by selfish hands. The rec ord shows that lately Senator Burke opposed the administration on 80 per cent of the impor tant test votes What is more, he openly casti gated the President's program, and credited his opposition to free thinking and unharnessed reasoning. Last week the voters of his state chas tized him for deserting the President, and they did their purging without prodding from the White House You can't make anything else out of it, for Nebraska nominated a 100 per cent New Deal er, Governor R. L. Cochran, to take Senator Burke's seat in the Senate. Ordinarily North Carolina wouldn't be great ly interested in whom Nebraska elects to the Senate. But circumstances make is extremely interesting. For Senator Burke's record of op position to the administration is parallelled by Senator Bailey. In fact they backstood each oth er on most issues, and along with Senators Byrd. George. Gerry and Tydings could be depended upon to take New Deal proposals apart to see what made them tick. ? Time flies fast. Senator Bailey soon will have to seek re-election, and what happened to his buddy in Nebraska, is calculated to make him 'ivi'i vuuy-frTm~m--3prtc-of undercover efforts tn? sterilize the North Carolina Democracy and un dermine presidential influence in this State, there still are those who contend that the voters, in the "main, are loyal to Mr. Roosevelt and his program, and at the same time, quite naturally, none too pleased with Senator Baileys failure to live up to that unbeatable nominating speech, back yonder when Roosevelt was in flower. Senator Reynolds, too, lor certain personal reasons, has a record of opposition that would .iiumtiiiinf) iiim In tiina. Rnnwvplt Invalids but his re-election is not so immediate, and a lot can happen in his extra two years of grace. But we insist that Senator Burke's experience is calculated to make both North Carolina sen ators a bit jittery. And it is barely possible that it-may cause other State leaders to pause, look and listen. The Church And Christian Character . . . B> REV JOHN HARDY Church Of The Advent St John declares that God i* love. It was as love that Christ revealed Him. therefore he who is Christ's disciple will manifest love in his life. But the word "love" needs to be defined. It is used in so many dif ferent senses. Usually it is thought of as having to do only with our feel ings. If I declare that I love someone, the statement will in most instances be taken as meaning that for one reason or another I am emotionally attracted by him, that I find him agreeable and pleasing, in other words that I like him very much. I may not know, and may not be con cerned to know, why. The love of which the New Testa ment speaks, and the love which our Lord commands, is something very much more tha nthis. If it were only a matter of feelings, our Lord would scarcely have commanded it because we cannot always control our feel ings, indeed we usually go through life without learning to control them completely Christian love is not a matter of the feelings but of the whole of ourselves. It involves our feelings but it is directed by our wills. It is the movement of our whole being towards the object of our love. It consists in doing what we believe will be the highest good of those whom we love. We find it very difficult, sometimes almost impossi ble, to like some people. We can love all people as we are commanded to do, that is, we can devote ourselves to doing them good. We do not nec essarily do what they wish us to do; we do what we believe will be best i for them. The Christian man's love will be directed first towards God. Our Lord declared that the first and great commandment is: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ull thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind " Tn Inyp one's neighhor is the* second commandment, not the first. Love towards God has been de fined as deliberate conformity to His commandments, that is, the doing of His wilL St. John writes: "This is the love of God that WCT commandments." And our Lord says, "If ye love Me. keep My command ments." If we truly love, our desire is always to carry out the will of the one we love. Love towards God involves, sec ondly, Worshipping Him. Worship moans telling God in words,? and showing Him by acts, how much we think of Him and how much we love We can worship God at all times and in all places, but worship is naturally centered in His Church, the House not fail to tow ***** commandment He who goes infrequently to Church, and is in his attitude towards it. is not keeping in the fullest sense the command to love God. The Christian man's love will also be directed towards his fellowmen He will manifest it not in emotional out pourings towards them but ra ther in seeking their highest good He will be deeply and vitally inter ested in their welfare; in the welfare of their bodies, minds, and spirits. He will do all that he can to see that they are properly fed, clothed and housed. He will be concerned as to their surroundings, recreation, and physical needs in general. He will be interested in the books they read, in the intellectual atmosphere they breathe, in the iducation of their children. His love will seek for them j ustice, the right?to decent living, friendship and fellowship. Above all he will have in his mind and on his heart the bringing of all men into the right relationship to .God, He will not be content so long as they are without the adequate ministrations of the Church he will provide, as far as in him lies, for their spiritual nur ture. He will take time to learn what the Church is doing in the commun ity in which he lives, in his own country, and throughout the world, and he will give as he is able to the advancement of the Church's mis sionary work. He will not only give, he will give gladly, out of gratitude to God, and from a desire to share the privileges which are his. In all these matters it may be that he can do but little but he will gladly do what he can, and if he is truly in earnest he will usually find that he can do much more than he thought he could. His love will, of course, be directed particularly towards those who are fellow-members with him of the Christian Church, because they are in a special sense members of God's family, and are therefore his broth ers. His love will not be confined to them; it will include all men every where. Loving his fellowmen will involve ' not only doing them good as he has opportunity, but adopting and mai taming a particular attitude towards them. He will not be snobbish tow ards tfiem, intellectually, socially, or spiritually. On the contrary, he will recognize that they are his brothers and will always treat them as such. He will respect the sacredness of thoir personalities as he respects tlie sacredness of his own. He will wel come their confidences as they are moved to share them with him, but< will never intrude into their private affairs. To love will be to share. True Christian character is found -hope, themannf inzE. EEEEE Returns to Rocky Mount Mrs. Lib Bullock has returned to her home in Rocky Mount after a visit here with Mr. and Mrs. J.
