y "You nave been fo'.lowiug the
crowd down town on Saturday
night." said Dr. Samuel H. Tem
plemau Friday night to the con
gregation at the First Baptist
Church. "I have boon down town
myself and I have seen you. Now
thla Saturday night we are going
to have preaching at this church
and you can follow the crowd
here."
There was no question, at any
rate, as to where the crowd w?i*
Friday night. It was at the Old
First Baptist Church, and it over
ran the main auditorium to fill
every seat on the choir platform,
and then streamed into the gal
lery until then- wan a fair congre- :
nation in that section. Every sign
indicates that the gallery will bo
filled at the Sunday services and
that it will bo necessary to throw
open the annex auditorium in or
der to seat the congregation.
Dr. Kills A. Fuller strengthened
his hold upon his hearers Friday
night iu hiM sermon on "How a
Christian Ought to Live." He pre
sented Christian liberty In an il
luminating light and. turning
then to the Question of what are
generally called worldly amuse
ments, he made bo winning and
tactful appeal to his Christian
hearers to live such lives ns could
giTc no occasion for stumbling to
the "weaker brother" whom Jesus
died to save that the Impression
on the audlenco was profound.
In the beginning of his sermon
Friday night the preacher made it
plain that he did not for a mo
ment countenance the idea, that
there Is* a double standard of
Christian conduct, one for the
Christian In the pulpit and anoth
or for a Christian in the pew.
Samo Standard for All
"A woman In Atlanta once said
1o me," he declared, "when I [
asked her whst ehe would think
of my doing a certain thing, that
It would be awful for me because
1 regarded it as sin but that It
was all right for her because she
believed that there wan no harm
In It.
"Nothing could be more ridicu
lous than such an argument. Im
agine that you think it Ib all right
to cut corners at a left turn on a
street Intersection, and then go
out and try that argument on a
traffic cop. You know you could
n't get by a policeman with It aud
vet some of you think you can get
by Ood with that sort of a spe
cious plea."
At the same time Dr. Fuller ,
made it equally plain that though
there is only ono standard of
Christian conduct as to whpt is
right and wrong, one might, in
doing something that was entirely
Innocent in Itself, cause a weaker
brother to stumble, and that ho
could very well afford to refrain
from such acta for the weaker
brother's sake.
Coming to such diversions ns
playing bridge. Dr. Fuller was
eminently fair and at the same
time exceedingly Arm. Making It
plain that ho did not wish to sit
in Judgment on anybody, he said,
?by way of preface, that he dis
agreed with preachers who put a
band of women at a bridge table
playing for a prise offered by the
hostess In the samo class with the
gamblers at a gaining table or
crap shooters In a back alley
ItHdge l'1?) Ing v*. (Wunhllnu
"in gambling." ho said, "all put
in and one wins. So offering a
prise provided by the hostess at a
bridge party is not. necessarily any
more gambling than offering n
' prize at a declamation content.
But I can tell you when your j
bridge party comes dangerously
near to gambling. When a bridge
club, say af eight members, ro
tates from home to home, and the
hostess this week offers h prize,
and it Ib expected that the next,
week the next hostess nhall offer
a prise, and so on, through the
entire list, then the various mem
bers of thst club have come to ,
the point., practically, it seem* to
me, of making a pool for the prize
winners. They are dangerously
near gsmbllng. If they have not
gone quite over the brink.
"Whether you agree with me In
that point or not, there Is on^
thing that I have observed and 1
urge you to ponder It well. I
have been a pantor In a number
of Aelds and I have spoken In lots
of places. In all of these I have
never found a bridge player that
was a power for f?od In her com
munity. If you can show me one

The road as a whole probably
will be completed before next
summer, and possibly a* early as
April 15, It is announced. This
(depends, of course, on weather
conditions through the coming
winter months, and whether the
construction forces shut down for
the bad weather period beginning
January 1.
From the standpoint of Kliza

la the most important construction
project yet begun by th?* State
Highway Commission. through,
the fact that It will greatly facili
tate highway travel between Cam

the one hand, and this city on the
other.
This road is being built by tho
Roberts Paving Company, of Sal

as rapidly as weather conditions
permit. It is declared, the crews
averaging GOO to fiOO linear feet a

jto witness the third and fourth
| rounda of thia remarkable match
j between the Reverend I>r. Am
? brbse Halley. pastor, and Dr. E.
i W. Jirown. dentist by profession
and mayor of Senttlo by will of
?the majority. The underworld as

stirred up. Crooks and yeggmcn
? rub elbows with church deucons,
while women uitli feathered hats
on blondim d locks, sidle Into

many u month. Sunday night aud
ience* had grown so large that
overflow meetings had to bo held
for those who didn't come early.
The Reverend Mr. Halley haa
! solved th?* problem of how to gel
! people to church.
While the uncomfortable mayor
sat on the platform Kunday night
the crusading parson lashed him
unmercifully with stinging words
for not making some reply to the
preacher's accusation that liquor
selling, gambling and prostitution
i were nourishing openly In Seattle.
The mayor, who had been of
fered the pulpit to reply to the
preacher's charges that Seattle
was wld?* op??n. Hufferlog from a
"Dark brown taste" arose in a
dignified manner and preached a
sermon. Sensing the disappoint

Heized the mayor as he wan about
to leave and intimated he wan

Htatcd he did not believe in using
the church pulpit for political
speeches. He then marched to
broadcast his reply over the radio,
but not before the preacher had
roa?t"d him as h "piker" to the
great delight of the crowd.
The conflict started four weeks
ago after the Heverend lialley had
donned h disguise and gone on a
slumming expedition to unearth
Ugly fart* which he later told
from the pulpit. The minister
soems determined to force a show
down, while the mayor asserts he
is playing politics and seeking no

The present day tendency In
too many Elizabeth City home* to
leave ili>' upbrliiKlng of the chil
dren. mh completely as possible, to
I their school teacher* is deplored
by Sup. rlnteudcnt S. L. Sheep, of
t It** cltv school RyMem. Mr. Sheep
declare* It 1* thrown an unwar
ranted burden on the teacher*,
and, which Is more Important. It
I* resulting disastrously to the
children themselves.
Parents nowadays are permit
tins foo many outside interest! to
distract the mind of the child
from his studies, Mr Sheep aaya,
und are not seeing to It ia maay
canes that the child doea the prop
er amount of studying at home.
Thla Is bad for two reasons, he ar
: Rues, the first being inadequate
preparation of school work, and
the second being that whan the
child, outside of achool hour*,
gives no thought to his school
work, it becomes all the more dif
ficult for him to concentrate upon
it when he is In school.
If the parents of the city wlah
their children to receive the train
ing they should, as a result of the
?years they spend in school. It' la
absolutely essential that they co
, operate more effectively with the
teachers, this veteran educator
continues, explaining that the
child himself is the loser ? and
_ heavily so. In many Instance*?
when he is neglected or permitted
, to do as he pleases after achool
hours.
The following editorial, clipped
from a recent issue of The Build
ers, educational magazine pub
I llfthed in Wilmington, exprcaaea
Mr. Sheep's sentiments moat ade
quately, he declares:
' 1'ntll the parents squarely and
fully undertake to discharge the
j duties of parenthood, the teach
ers have to be the soul and cen
ter of a reconstructed human life
-?nothing loss than that. It la
j possible to escape the dlstresflful,
unsatisfactory life that mankind
| lives today, but the parenta must
do their part.
The attempt to throw upon the
schools, public or private, the ma
jor work of character building la
a futile attempt to paaa on to In
stitutions and substitute*, the re
sponsibility for a personal service
owed by parents to th.-lr children.
Such Institutions and substitute*
can nover supplant good parent
hood.
A boy with a good father needa
no Illg brother. A girl with a
Kood mother needs no nig 8l*ter.
It Is principally the Kood home
and the parent willing to "put- hla
or her effort and time Into the fu
ture of the children which are the
.bulwark against all the Influence*
which are named as element*
making for youthful lawlessneaa.
There has been too much cur
rency given to the vague and fool
ish notion that parents can pan
their responsibility on to church,
school and to the modern Ida* of
some mynterlous power In the
word "organization." Let the
fathers and mother* become real,
honeat-to-goodness parent* and
many of the Ills with which we are
now afflicted will vanish a* the
morning dew before the rising
sun.
