. TO HIM THAT READETH
With the quantity of reading mat
ter publisned in periodical form in
creasing every year and with the
quality apparently tending more
and more to verge toward the yel
low tints, it becomes the duty t of
all who teach or exercise authority
to so watch over and direct the
reading of the young that their
minds may be trained to a taste
for only such literature as is of
enobling character.
The people of North Carolina are
fortunate in that, as a rule, the
men who direct the policies of the
leading periodicals of the State are
men who fear God and love truth.
But for some strange reason some
of our people seem to prefer to
subscribe to a journal from afar, or
to the exceptional one at home,
whose editorials are lurid and
whose news is unreliable. Hearst's
American, The Chicago Ledger
The Saturday lllade, these, and
(papers that imitate them, do not
provide the sort of reading matter
that makes for well informed citi
zenship nor lor pure niindcdness.
Of all the papers printed In
4U11U v aiuuiiu we UU IIUL IVllUW 111
one that is more widely quoted
than Charity and Children. There
are In the State one or two other
papers as ably edited, perhaps, but
they are of first interest n, their
local Meld, whereas Archibald
Johnson's editorials may be read
with equal interest whether one
lives in Currituck or Cherokee
cnarity and children or some
"euch, paper, the Youth's ' Compan
ion, for instance, should be in every
home. If you are able take a big
metropolitan daily subscribe to the
New York Times. With one really
good paper by which to jud;e your
reading matter your taste will not
lie corrupted nor your mind polluted
nor the currents of your thought
perverted Into evil channels. At the
name time the mental trainlngwhlch
you will receive in the reading of
cne'good paper will put you above
the Influence of those sensationii
lists who would have you mistake
uyiae mr geiiuis una evil language
for brilliancy.
"Methinks the lady doth protest
too much". Shakespeare.
In other words, it was recognized
po.long ago as Q.iecn Kl'zibcth
day that when a person begins
to
tell you with loud emphasis what
lie will never do he's talking either
about something he tried to do and
couldn't or else about something h
Is itching todo if he only can get
the r.hance. ,

WHERE RE-LfGION IS' NEEDED
Whin Christianity, was young and
had reared i s first temple on pa
gan foundations, when the Church
had grown rich and w:th" Its wealth
had become corrupt, there were
i
those who taught that holiness was
to be found only in the hermit's cell
or in the cave of the recluse.
The world has passed long ago we
age of the hermit and of the ascetic
but an echo of their teachings :s
heard today when men say
that we must not defile the heavenly
robes by too close contact with the
earthly life, "that religion must keep
out of politics" and that the minis
ter who does not ho!d himself aloof
from the da!ly walks of men "com
promises his holy calling.
Because of this influence of the
ascetic many of the great move
ments of today that are efficiently
seeking to save tho world are work
ing outside of the church. Here is
the great Ked Cross society that
binds up the hurts of the "wounded
and mained. There are the associa
ted charities, which are feeding the
hungry and heal ng the sick. Yon
der is the movement for Prison Re
form, which visitis the captives and
ministers to the outcasts. Over all
the earth are hundreds of other
humanitarian movements that are
working outside the church.
For this fact, In the opinion of
this newspaper, it Is the church it-
Beif that is chiefly responsible. And
the church will find itself continu
ing to fall of ita mission of seeking
and saving that which is lost as
lon a3 its members are afraid to
apply their religion to business and
politics and to every commonplace
problem of daily life.
GIVES SOMETHING TO ALL
Says Tuesday's Charlotte Obser
ver:
"(The Chautauqua which came to
a cl'mactlc close last night with a
recital by the gifted Julia Claussen
added immeasurably to the attractive
ness of life in Charlotte during the
seven days it was here. Yet the
city did not half appreciate it. Res
idents In large towns have a way of
boing prejudiced against any attrac
tlon that vis ts the smaller towns
assuming that this fact per se indl
cates that It is second-class. The
Chautauqua is an exception, and
while it is a special boom to resi
dents of small towns and to people
who will not attend the theatre, it
nevertheless has features that are
improving even to those who have
l:;,d the best advantiges In the way
of entertainment. Chicago, which Is
by no means a country town. Is the
best Chautauqua town In the I'nlted
States."
We see that Secretary Ford of the
Y. M. C. A. is about to make nn
effort to get the Hertford boys to
take part In the field day contests
here on Gond Will Day. Th Ad
vanre is willing to r'sk the asser
tion that no effort is necessary. An
invitation to those fellows oyer there
at Hertford is all that's needed.
They are wide awake.
