I didn't know when this nfeet Ing started that Russia was go ing to declare war on us before we got through. 1 did know that the anti-Christ and his earthly agents were diligently at work | throughout th" world to under mine iind devitalize Christianity and I was somewhat familiar with his tricks and methods, but I did ' not know that he would make a definite and aggressive hi; lit thru strong agencies, in thin communi ty. 1 want to emphasise here again the thought of our scrip ture that we are not fighting men. but we are fighting the Devil and spirit hosts of wickedness and the anti-Christ. The anti-Christ has been very active in this communi ty and 1 want to ask a few ques tion* concerning the nature of his campaign here. First, why did he -make an at tack on me aud brand me as a Liar when I referred to the vice situation which was exposed in the .Chicago courts and fully s? t forth In tho news reports of the Chi cago Tribune. Why didn't he brand the Chicago Tribune as a liar? I only read the reports of ' the court trial. | Second. Why didn't h" brand ! the Diarborn 'Independent as a liar. I only read excerpts from i its reports and sensational charg I es against Julius Itosenwald of 'Chicago. The Dearborn Indepen dent Is backed tiy the millions of llenry Ford and could be made in pay dearly if he had lied? Why am I the liar just for reading 'these reports?

And Paul, In my view the greatest hero of them all. has his early life of persecu tion and hi* subsequent quarrel with Ilarnabaa over John Mark all laid hare An ex-prlr.e fighter, who wa* converted testified aft?rwards. "I am Just three y?ar*. two month.-* and two days old; for It has been Just that long ?.ine<? I was con verted. nud I never really com menced to live until then."

In Tim. 2-6 Paul nays Christ ransomed us from slavery. "He that hath the Son hath life." After his conversion, for a loot time I'aul was hoihered by fear? that after he had preached I" others, he himself might fall and become a castaway; and hia poal Hon then was ''for me to begin to live is Christ.' l<ater he was *a> ing "For me to continue to live is Christ.'' But finally he reached the point where he could say In all confidence. *'| am pcrsuad* ?l that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him Then he said. "For me to live in Christ " Paul's Mlallon to Christ wu> like that of a deep sea diver. Hi very life came from above.

If Paul a faith should fall, his Christ life would h? ?nuffed out. To Pa4il Christ was not only the sustains of hla life, but also the law of his life. When you hear a man say "I've got religion and an. Ilvlnu up to it,' you may know h? has only an Ideal Paul had a Christ; not an "it." When Paul comprehended that he was no longer living under the law. hut under grace, Christ had becom the law of his life, he never read th?* d'-ealog any more. Hut hi law. creed.

"It in better for me to be absent from the body and present with the Lord." And he even found his bonds worked to the glory of Chrlat: for everywhere they car-1 rled him bound, he preached Chrlat.

THIRTY YEARS FOR SWINDELL Farrior Likewise, Draws Prison i Term While Verbal Castigation Given Each Defendant by Court as Severe as Sentence Tlilrly years for Joo Swindell and not Iras than one nor more than three for J. D. Farrlor of Wllaon were the sentences Im posed by Judge N. A. Sinclair at the opening of thin afternoon'* session of Superior Court. The closing words of the latter sen tence were delivered almost as the clock whs en. the stroke of three. Hardly less severe than the sen I tences themselves was the verbal castlgatlon given each prisoner by the court before imposing sen tence. "The penalty for rape." said Judge Sinclair before pronouncing sentence on Swindell. "Is death. In some respects the crime with which thiB defendant was charged, and nobody who heard the evi dence could believe other than that he Is guilty, Is more repre hensible than rape. A man who will deliberately phin the destruc tion of a little child is not entitled to any consideration. He is hs dangerous as a beast of prey. It Is not altogether the question of what he deserves but the question of how to deter others from a course like his that this court must weigh. The question of his physical injuries I can not consld j or. Whether he is to get well or not and how much he must suffer by reason of bis physical Injury I must leave to a higher authority. I nhall mete out to this defendant the same punishment that I would Impose for second degree murder , ? 30 years In prlaon." ; "The court now prays Judgment | Upon the defendant Farrlor," said Solicitor Small, In the aolemn I hush that followed the pronounce ment of sentence upon Swindell. "This ia one of th" sTdde"* cases In my experlenc**." rcapoprf ed Judge Sinclair, speaking with measured deliberation. "Here wni a mnn of ripe old age who ev' dently had never learned to ro strnln his temper. In connection with this case the court is faced by the fnct that there Is abr'^d In the land an Idon th"t n pit j has a right to r^dre** his twi wrongs, outside of the court There in a prorcbmTt threrrJ.-o the countiV thnt men can tr?1f lb Inw Into their own hnndp- i ren timent thnt can not be tolerate In North Carolina. "The courtn can and d" c.ifnre the law. Men enn trust th" cur's There Is no Mich thing ns nrwrlt ten law In North Carolina. If this defendant were n young m^n I would give him the limit of the law. As It la, I hate to punish one of his years and feeble frame at all. Hut we tell the Juror that they are not to be ?wiy'' from duty by aent'ment nnd T . have taken an oath aa solemn as the Jurora not to be so swayed. It Is the Judgment of the court that the defendant be confined In State prison for a period of not more than three and not less than one year." Judge Sinclair alao commended the restraint of the father of the girl In the ease In "playing the part of a good citizen and permit ting the law to take Its course." Sentenee in the case of J. I). Farrlor. who pleaded guilty last Friday of assault upon Joo Rwin , dell with Intent to kill and flwln dell hlmaelf who was convicted by a Pasquotank Jury of having wronged Mr. Farrlor's 13-year old grand-daughter, was linpOHed by the court at the opening of this afternoon's session. The verdict of guilty was brought In by the Jury at ten minutes after nine o'clock Tues day night, after a little more than five hours deliberation. The Jury 'took the case at 3: Jo and notified the officers In charge that It had ngreod upon Its verdlr.t at ft: 65. Sitting beside his fathor CJ.
