The Question Is What
Will You Do With Jesus
Evangelist Muke? II Plain in Last Night's Message That
Ham 1? Not the Issue in Klizuheth City anil
Urges Decision for the Christ
"Be not deceived. Not what J
you think of Ham. but what will
you do with Jesus, is the question
that confronts you at this meet
ing." Evangelist M. F. Ham (old |
hI? groat congregation at the tab
ernacle Thursday night.
"It 1? not enough for you to
nay you iitid no fault in him. that
he is a perfect man. Pilau- said
that."
"It Is not enough for you to
Any that he was a great teacher.
All the world accepts him as a
great teacher."
"It Is not even enough for you j
^lP say that you believe he is the
?von of God. The devil not only bo
?Ji??ves that. He knows it."
"The question of lite or death
for every one of you la whether
you accept Him as your Lord and
Savior. 'Not to accept i? to reject
him. All who reject him are
lost."
An effectlvo duet, after the
evangelist had asked those pre
sent who had loved ones whom
they hoped to meet in heaven^ to
manifest it. was sung by Chorister
Ramaay and Earl Roger*. Many
in the audit uce were moved to!
tears by the song and at its close,
when tne invitation was extended,
many presttod forward to Khake
ini evangelist's hand to express
an interest In loved ones unsaved
or to pass into the inquiry room
to seek salvation for themselves.
"If these people could but
know the Joy I found In God's
room back tnere," suld H. P. Dai
ly. one of the converts of the
meeting, "they would throng
these aisles and risk the breaking
>f limbs to get there." Mr. Davis
spoke from a seat in (he mid
dle of the auditorium during one
cf Mr. Ham's invitations.
Ton tab t will be High School
Night at the tabernacle and. with
the High School students occupy
ing a reserved section of the au
ditorium In n tody. Mr. Ham will
speak on "Tests of Christian
Character."
Probably the most famous ser
mon that Mr. Ham preaches will
fifte that of Sunday afternoon on
Hr Bootlegging and Booze. Get on
'the Water Wagon." This sermon
will be delivered with men occu
pying the main section of the ttu
titorlum and women and children
occupying the wings. Sunday
night's subject Is "Ood's Last
Call."
Monday is usually observed as
a rest day by the evavrellsttc
party, but on VXt Monday Evan
gelist Ham will give over his day
of rest In order to sper.k to the
colored people of the c<t> at the
tabernacle. At J?'* service the
colored choirs %mt 'he .f
the negro church-s In the ??!?>- will

Don't Worry About Mo
"Don't you worry about my be
ing branded a liar," counseled
Evangelist M. F. Ham Friday
morning In the course of his dis
course on the subject of the. "An
tl-Chrlst?Who He Is and How
He Work?." "The Antl-Chrlst
ban branded God's prophets In all
ages as liars. Even today he
brands Moses, Isaiah, and all the
old prophets as liar? and he even
brands ?Jesus Christ a liar when
He quotes extensively from the
Old Testament as authority in Ills
teachings. Don't wory about my
being branded a liar. That is to
ho expected from the Antl-Chrlst
and his agent. It I? one of his
oldeqt trick?. I may have been
branded as a liar, but you folks
who believe this Bible and who
believe in the atoning blood of
Jesus Christ have been branded
as ignoramuses and fools.
^/The message dealt at length with
jP'te characteristics of the Anti
christ's work thru liberalism In
evary sphere of life and how hI? i
llberallstk philosophies and Bol
shevistic propaganda are begin
ning to react as the people are
being awakened. Mr. Ham re-,
rerred to the recent elections In
Great Britain and America.
"Great Britain I? beginning to
awake to the fact that the liber
?llstlc and Red propaganda, with
Wfetch shl has bean flooded and ,
almost cr-Tqucred. has been dig
jlng at the very foundation of her
Christian civilisation and every
thing she holds sacrad and hence
In her last election she swung
hack into the ranks of the Con
servative?.
"The same awakening In this
country was responsible for the
election of Coolldge. it was not
especially that the country resent
ed seriously the attack of DavU
?n the Ku Klux Klan or that they
*'? trying to support the Ku Klux
Ian, but It was the fact that the
mass of the people have no nse
for, the things that the Ku Klux
Klan Is fighting and they refused
put their endorsement on any
?Thlng or anybody that lined up
?with the crowd that are digging
At the foundation of everything
that Is aacred to our Christian clv
lllcat ion.
"We are now In the uealh grap
ple with the forcea of Antl
Christianity urni t ho Anti-Christ
is making tlio most aKgrcsslvp
and rff'Ttuui campaign over
hnowu in t h?* history of the
worlds Am opposed t? the Bible's
statement dial ih?>re<iK "only on?*
name under Heaven whereby men
may he saved." the anti-Christ is
now I ry in k to teach that thorn is
merit in all religions ami that
they should all 1??* given equal
recognition." Mr. Ham pointed
to the confliet now raging on
thin point in the mission fields
throughout Hi?' world where the
forces of Anli-Chrlatianity are
telling the Budhists. Confucian
i?U and all other religion* that
?II thai Is i:e???*sat; for tlieni to
to do is Just to ho a good
Budliht or a good Confu
cianlHt. sincerely in their be
lief being all that is nooe-iftury for
their ultimate salvation. "Any
philosophy or any religion that 1
substitutes anything for Jesus
Christ is of the Anti-Christ." Mr.
Hum stated and further pointed
out that the propaganda of the
anti-Christ Is now being clreulat
ed over this country by means of
series of lectures delivered in va
rious strategic places by promi
nent rabbis who are culling f.>r
religion tolerance and Intellectual
freedom, the elimination of the
Bible in the public school ostensi
bly because it is the creed of a re
ligious sect and because It's 'teach
ings engender sectarian strife and
bigotry.
Will Come As l*iimh
"We are taught that the Anti
christ will come as a lamb." said
Mr. Ham" but his voice will be
that of a dragon. You need not
expect to see him come labeled
as the Anti-Christ, hut he will
come posing as a friend to Christ
and a friend to truth, and a hater
.of hypocrisy and sham. In the
1 days of Job he came posing as a
' hater of hypocrites and even
[tried to prove to (Jod that Job was
a hypocrite. He approached Je
sus as a friend anil urged him to
j feed himself and later to avoid
going to Jerusalem and suffer
ing and again trie# to get Him to
come down off the cross and save
Himself.
"The Anti-Christ today talks
much about the Fatherhood of
God and the Brotherhood of Man
I That expression originated in the
Grand Orient Lodge and 1 can
give you the date of Its coinage
and show you that it wu3 coined
for use in preaching nnd spread
ing a propaganda to devitalize
Christianity. Whenever you hear
this talk, you may always know
it is the voice of the Anti-Christ.
Not every man is a son of God.
Jesus tells us that clearly. He
calls certain men 'Sonn of the
Devil.' Is Jesus- a liar and a
mountebank and an Ignora
mus and wcakminded and is
He deceiving us when He gives
this teaching the He? We be
come sons of God by being born
again through faith in Jesus. All
who have not been born in this
wsy are 'of their father the Dev
il.'
femes Tttlklng Pence
"The Anti-Christ coflnes talk
ing peace and decrying anything
that brings division. You may
always recognise tho Amil-Chrlst
When you hear the cry of peace,
peace. Christ said that he rame
not. to bring peace, but to divide
households, set father ugalnnt
son and to create division, lie
plainly teaches us that there Is
no unity except in llim.
"The Anti-Christ comes dealing
In lies. He has always done that
and does today. There was the
lie he circulated concerning the
resurrection when he bad the six
ty soldiers testify that the body
of Jesus had been stolen while
they slept. There was the lie he
circulated concerning the incarna
tion when- he started that lie tha'
??till is on record in the Jewish
Csbslla that Mary was a hair
dresser In tNaxareth. that she
went wrong nnd to cover tip her
shame married Joseph and con
cocted this fanciful Isle about be
ing shadowed by the Holy Spirit.
r#nd that later Jesus went into the
Temple and stole the sacred name
that could only be pronounced
once a year and carried it away
with him by hiding it in a cut
In his body nnd that later h* was
discovered to be an illegitimate
and an Impostor and wax cruci
fied. He started the lie as to
our Bible canon when he got tip
that tale abopt how those who
gavo us our Bible put all the
various books on the floor a/id
then put in the canon Just the
books tkat of their own accord
bopped up on the table. The An
ti-Christ deals only In lift and he
always accuses God's prophets of
being liars, so don't worry If I am
, branded a liar here. It is to be

The evangelist stated that the
Anil-ChrUt was dem-rlbed In the
Bible as hating the truth, as not
confessing that Christ was the
Son of God nad that he wss com
ing in the flesh, and stated that
the bei?t w.?> lo Judgo the Antl
t hrlst was to test him by the va
rious scripture* which wer? given
as a direct test for the Anil
Christ. He quoted Second John
verses 7 to 11 as follows:
'For many deceiver? ar? gone
forth In'o the world, even they
?hat confess not Hat Jesus Christ
cometh in the fleth. This Is the
deceiver and the anti-Christ. Ix>ok

T. S. M?*tkins of Maul?'?!
0|M?niii|; Anoth
er Inlet Would IU* the
Kirnl Step.
-Rastem North Carolina can
eusily eujoy world supremacy in
the culture of shell finli In the
opinion of T. S. Xleek I us ??f Man
teo, who believes ilia t the ojmmi
ing of another orean inlet In the
vicinity of Nag* Head would lie
the first Hrep lu the direction of
that objective.
"Kong Inland Sound." said Mr
Mceklns. who was in the city yes
terday. "is rapidly losing prestige
In oyster production by reason of
the fact that the oyster has disap
peared from large areas formerly
devoted to oyster culture by rea
son of the pollution of the waters
by the sewage of large cities.
"The samo condition, to a cer
tain extent, prevails in the wa
ters of Chesapeake Bay by reason
of the contamination or those wa
ters by the sewage from the large
cities at the head of the hay.
"Hero. Is North Carolinn with a
larger aria of inland waters suit
able for oyster culture than- any
state In the union, und yet the
possibility of these waters. In the
matter of commerce, oyster cul
ture and fishing, are compara
tively undeveloped.
?'New Inlet, recently opened be
tween Pamlico Sound and the
se?, will mean much in (he
rehabilitation of the oyster indus
try In that sound, and is expected
to help somewhat toward rehab
ilitating the Industry In the Albe
marle S'iund as well; but 1 do not
I?elleve enough salt water can get
Into AlhemarJe Sound through
New Inlel to have a very marked
effect.
"The bottom of Albemarle
?Sound and or its tributaries Is
naturally adapted to oyster cul
ture anil In my opinion the out
standing need of this section Is a
direct Inlet from the ocean Into
Albemarle Sound in the vlcinit>
of Nags Head.
?'.Such an Inlet would go fnr to
ward preventing the devastating
freshets on the Hoanoke River
which now cause such great dam
age In wet seasons.
"Such nn inlet also would make
the Albemarle Sound salt enough
for profitable oyster culture and
besides would offer a channel
through which shiul und other
fish that spawn in fresh waters
could easily find their way Into
the sound and its tributaries in
the ^pawning season.
"Such an Inlet opened at Nags
lf?*ad would also be an aid to
navigation admitting passage of
vessels from five to fivteen foot
draft, by reason of the fact that
the shoals which are round on the
sound side or all other )nlet*
would not be encountered In' the
case or an Inlet opened in the vi
cinity of Nags Head.
*9$I >?lso bell?*y?s| that a great
quantity of scollops could'?e tak
en in AIbenutrh- Sound w.-r<- an
inlet opened at Nags Head, where
as It Is the case now that few scal
lops are round in either the Pam
lico or the Alhetnarlig Sound ?I
believe tna't the reason for this is
the presence of high shoals on the
inside w tiers back or every Inlet
now opening Into Pamlico Bound.
"Resides all the advantages
which i have enumerated the op
ening of this inlet would add to
the attractiveness of the tribu
taries of thd Albemarle as haunts
tor wild duck and other fowl and
these te ?ding grounds would be
come more than ever a sports
man's paradise.

while the latter was a prisoner in

about t<> be brought Into court for
an alleged wrogfr done Parrlorfe

I dence on both Hides was closed
shortly afiwr noon and the fate of
the defendant now rests in the
hands of Superior Court Judge Ml
A. Sinclair of Kayetteville. ,
Pending sentence Parr lor le a
prisoner In the same jail In which
Joe Swindell wan shot.
Following tlie conclusion of the
rase against Parrlor court Imme
diately adjourned for the noon re

Swindell was taken up at the op
ening of the afternoon session at

Sitting beside the defendgltt

Mr. Farrlor had visibly aged
I'flnce the morning of AufcvK
,21. when he shot Swindell Id the
iutter'H cell, but he was outwardly
composed during the putting on
of evidence by the State, betray*
, ing no sign of emotion even when
Swindell himself recited for tha
IIrat time the story of the shoot
ing. Hut when his own friends,
themselves visibly afTected, went
on the stand and tried to describe
what the aged grandfather had
suffered through the utter blight
ling of the life of the little grand
daughter who was the center of
his life and his affections the old
.man broke down completely, sob
bing at first Ilk? a child shaken
with grief, but In a few momenta
going to pieces so completely that
| he had to be removed to one Of
the Jury rooms and be given the
attention of n physician. There
after hla cries of anguish pierced
the walln of the courtroom at In
tervals during the hearing of evi
dence and brought tears to the
eyes of many In the courtroom.
The case was taken up while the
morning service was In progress
at the Ham-Ksmsay tabernacle
and at no time during the hear
ing were all the seats in the court
room or behind the bar occupied.
Trior to the trial there were
many conferences between tha
lawyers representing the defense
and apparently some effort was
mad?- to secure from the court sn
understanding that If the defend
ant would enter a plea of guilty
tin- court might make some com
mitment as to what penalty would
he Imposed. At any rate Judge
Sinclair was heard to remark pos
itively that he would In no wise
hind himself or agree outside of
j court as to I he matter of penalty i
before hearing both sides of the
evidence.
Joe Swindell was not in court
When the Case was called and the
first sensation *of the trial cane .
when, walking down the alste *n
crutches, he took his place he?

When be went to the stsnd many
sifting Inside the bar observed
? hit he touched onfV his left foot
to the floor and that his light leg
hung In his trouscr leg limy.ss a
rag.1 Swindell was slmt irf his
right side and the hullot lodged
In one of the lumbar vertebrae,
producing almost complete paraly
sis. from which his phvslclan re
fuses to venture an opinion sa to
whether he will ever recover.
Swindell explained during hlfl
testimony that he could move the
leg and oven lift it slightly, but
that he could bear no weight on
it.
It was the first time that rnAst
of those who sat in th* courtroom
had seen Joe Swindell since he sp
prah'd In the recorder's court last
<uiminer to answer to s'chsrge of
ra|*'\ In which the court found
probable cause, though the grand
lury at the August term of 9ut^>
