Congratulating a Neighbor The Advance gets a real thrill out of the story in the Crensboro News of that newspaper's move Into its new and jnodernly ?quipped building at the begin ning of this week. The Greensboro News is a good newspaper and altogether worthy of iti good home town. Ilecsuse the News has attained in its sec tion something of what The Ad vance Is reaching out toward in tta own sphere, the success of the News in a business wsy gives us hope snd courage to persevere in our undertaking to build here a newspaper unbound and unfet tered and free always to speak Its mind on any Issue that may arise. 80 The Advance, with due ap f preciatlon of Its smaller sphere : and the fact that It counts Itself not yet to have spprehended. i speeds congratulatory greeting to Jta neighbor at North Carolina's Gate City, and wishes for It that the occupation of the new build ing may mean the begiitolng of an era of even larger usefulness and fuller service to Its readers and to all North Carolina. There Is not room In this coun try for two conservative parties, and If the Democratic Tarty can not find the leadership to make It a party that will command the support of the liberals the third party movement will undoubtedly Mntlnue to gain headway.

He was meek and lowly In hear! and told the world to learn of Him. To have power and to refuse to uae It for aelf. to return good for evil, to display meekness and humility Instead of strength and arroKance Is the reproarh of i the Croaa. That la the offense of the Cross the Chrlatlan must bear. Go ask that Hnman Jalluc?who Paul was. "Why that fellow." he would probably reply. "Is one of the most pestiferous men In the em-; plre.

That is a display of strength in weakneaa. Yea. It la a crows to be considered weak; to avoid ihM'spgptgcoiar ihar brings; honor to yourself; to glory In re-' proarhea. but It Is the mark of the Christian. No man can voluntar-' lly deny self In hla own strength. I'nless something has happened to a man to give him super-human | strength.

I was born and reared In Ken tucky. the home of gootT liquor, as well as good horses and pretty women, and early In my ministry I came Into conflict with the II-, quor traffic. Where we held our meetings and folks got saved, the liquor traffic suffered and It com menced to flght back. When I held my meeting In my home town which resulted In the town voting dry. the liquor crowd fought me In every way even to trying to burn my home. They got out a slanderous paper and made It appear that I waa editor of the paper and had written a number of offensive articles, they shipped tons of literature slander ing me and my ministry all over this Southland wherever I worked. In thin state I was threat ened by mobs In Ashevllle when I held my meeting there which put the town dry and In Salabury the night before your State voted dry, 1 went to Bleep listening to an angry mob ahoutlng "Hang Ham," while armed men guarded me against them. The folks came to me and told, nu. I wnnld he killed and 1 ought to leave town, but I said: "No, If the Lord isn't through with me. they1 can't kill me and If He Is > then I am ready to go and you fellows can go on and vote the State dry." So I read the 25th l'salm and went to sleep. The next day the State voted dry and the mob got more furious ' than ever. I closed my meeting that night and a body of armed men carried me to the station and put me on the Pullman. Just as II got on, the mob got to the sta tion and attempted to seize me,: but my guards held the crowd at bay with their guna while I was carried Into a darkened Pullman and locked in the washroom with armed men guarding me. The train pulled out ahead of time to I protect me and an armed ofTlcer accompanied me all the way to my home In Kentucky. In Texas, this same liquor crowd attempted my life on several occasions. In Fort Worth one of their number walked up behind me ss I stood on the sidewalk and slugged me j with brass knucks and sent me to ; the tabernacle as bloody as a hog. 1 but that blood brought death to , the liquor ring In Fort Worth, and on another occasion they hired a Mexican to ahoot me. in Corpus Chrlatl, my life was again Attempted, they trie?* to shut my mouth by arresting ine and drag ging me before a grand Jury and finally even went so far as to plan to kidnap my little girl, but we went on and In practically every place where we held campaigns and folks got saved, prohibition followed as a natural consequence snd the tentatonUm of the liquor Interests Increased. < hrl?t nixl Country And then the war came on.

I knew the enmity of the liquor crowd throughout the South to ward me and that they would not hesitate to seize upon any oppor tunity to clo?<- my mouth and put me out ?f the way. 1 knew. too. the devil'? tactic?, that he always tried to parade his private passion under the pretext of public wel fare. 1 had studied the life of the m pout lea and o( Christ 1 had seen how every bit of opposition to them was done ostensibly In the interest of the preservation of the peace and security of the state. But back behind it was private passion. 1 grew ,10 be mOf tM| moF?f~fearfuI. l began to Imagine that splea were In every audience to listen snd try to trap me Into saying something that could be construed as antagonistic to the country's military program. I knew. too. that my preaching would give offense. Everywhere It was being preached that to die on the battlefield was to emulate the example of Christ and that we were..engaged In a Christian war and thai we were in a war to end* war. I knew that the hope gf this world vr?H nnt tn "?ur- hut In the coming of Jesua. I could not preach that this war would end war. for I knew my illble told me differently and I could not preach that every soldier that died *on the battlefield was going to heav en. I knew my preaching would give opportunity for my enemies to misinterpret me and try to get me In trouble with the Govern ment. 1 didn't want to appear disloyal to my Government, and -r couldn't be disloyal-t?-my so the man-fearing spirit An?11? became so great and the load got ?o heavy that I Uwt f??t_J n>ust "have peace. t .

I asked. "Come on, boy?." shouted the soldier, and with that they Kiauued roe and when people com menced to interfere they knocked down preachers and women and dragged me out of the tabernacle. Just aa we got out of the taber uacie i saw them knock down a poor old asthmatic preacher and men knock down Mr. Foley, pre?* ident of the waterworks there and then they dragged me on down ?h?- street and down the railroad track and-said they w*-re going to tage me out several miles from town and tar and feather me and throw m?* Into the Kiitacca. I tell you. as I was being dragKfd down that railroad track by that mob of soldiers, 1 never enjoyed such fellowship with my Lord. 1 was never so conscious of His presence as then and right there I came to my Calvary. I had been bearing the cross. I had been living under the f?*ai of mun, bui I came to my Calvary, J wan.

In a short time, however-word had gone to Washington and a detacnnit nt of cavalry had been sent out from llrownsville in high powered cars to rescue me. When my captors saw them coming, they tried to duck and run. hut I said: "Hold on. bova. it's my turn now. we are going to have u prayer. Take off your hats." C "h ri\t iT F,?1 Pni v a fy ' They did and I prayed for them. The Cavalry came up and put theTTT-nndei-acreHt and took them to the guard house.

Hut f was Fee*, from that-; man-fearing spirit. I had been to my Calvary, my em?* was gone, and the Lord had tod me out Into* the glorious freedom which oiiJyj comes when self has been cruci-1 fled. The next morning officers came to take me out to camp to iden tify the boyn who mobbed me. I told the officers on the way out, there that I didn't know whether I would identify those hoys or not. If the Lord wanted me to I would; if not I would not and all the I'nited States Army couldn't make me do It. ? They lined .up L. troop and ll went out and said: "Hoys, I am going to preach you n sermon. 1 You boys have done n disgraceful ' thing. You have brought dis grace to the uniform you wear1 and the officers have asked me to Identify you in order to enable them to send you to Leaven worth, but somewhere In these Htaten some of your mothers may have asked me to pray for her boy and your name may be on uty prayer list right now. You boys nre all young, you were deceived by n bunch of ly ing women and Vou did a foolish and disgraceful thing in the heat of your passion. There is one na ture In me that says: "Oo on and send them to I^-avenworth. They have publicly humiliated you and they deserve It. Give them what they deaerve." That is the nature of the flesh. Hut there Is another nature that says "No, these hoys have been victimized, somewhere? some mother is praying for them. I ne merciful'to them." That ia the nature of Christ in me which 1 was Implanted there by the mir acle of regeneration.
