Tin) first of Pasquotank's annual
Community Fairs was held at Kp
worth School House, yesierday, and
it was a splendid example of what
the people of a rural community can
do when they get started. The ar
ray of farm products, livestock,
poultry, canned fruits and vegeta
bles, and of needlework was Indeed
a credit to the skill and industry of
the folks who live In that prosper
ous and progressive section of Pas
quotank. In the livestock department the
hogs were perhaps the star exhibit.
There were Durocs, Poland Chinas
and Berkshires, all pure-bred, and
among them several of the largest
ever placed on 'exhibition in this
county. Two varieties of sheep were
represented, the Southdown and the
Shropshire, as well as a number of
banner cattle and mules.
' Geese, both tame and wild, of sev
eral species, and some regular
Thanksgiving turkeys were included
in the collection of fowls. In ad
dition there were full blooded Ply
mouth rocks, white Orpingtons,
black Minorcas, Anconiana, and
white and brown Leghorns represen
ted among the edible and egg lay
ing members of the chicken fam
ily A rnon of gu'nea chickens
was also on display, and these kept
up a continual quartette of their po-j
culiar and well known whistles. J
Indoors, the first thing to strike'
the eye of the visitor was the dis-j
play of needlework and embroidery. '
The hitter included some wonderful
doilies, table spreads, dresses, pil-

"When tlio ca'.l came to help save

rope there came a louder call to help
save, promote and Hecure evangelical
Chrislianity in F.uropn. That which
alone will ;;ow preserve and perfect
the democracy for which nrave men
have died on the battlefield ol Europe
is the Christianity of the New Testa
ment. Southern Itnpllsts can not lonp-
j er profess New Testament Christian-
Ity and decline a challenge like that
which Is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
a responsibility.
Of course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
' to direst necessity with a message of
I Christian love and brotherhood If we
1 decline In our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be
able to stay the crying of their little
ones to hear us preach if we decline
to practice the f -pel or compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires st which they can during the com
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
iwant and suffering of Europe. But if
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists nave mo
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make a com
plete success of the Baptist 75 Mil
lion Campaign. I would therefore, as
mj parting word to my brothers and
sisters of the South, Implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to a triumphant conclusion
during Victory Week, November 30
