SAMUEL LANCE SERIOUSLY
INJURED
Samuel Lance, who lives on the
Cedar Mountain road, about 9 miles
from Brevard, had a very serious
accidcnt recently. He has been very
feeble for many years, and only able
to walk with much difficulty. He
fell in the fire place striking his head
on one of the fire irons, inflicting a
very serious wound, partially frac
turing' the skull. He was resting very
well at last report, but is not yet con
sidered out of danger.

G. M. GLAZENER
PASSES AWAY
G. M. Glazener, familiarly known
to his thousands of friends through
out this and Henderson county as
“Bud,” died at the Patton Memorial
hospital at Hendersonville at twelve
o’clock Saturday, October 25th. He
was taken sick three v/eeks prior to
his death with a carbunkle and from
the time he entered the hospital little
hope was entertained for his recov
ery, although at times he seemed
very much improved.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the Methodist church in Hen
dersonville last Sunday at 10:30 by
the pastor and the body was immed
iately taken to the train and shipped
to Calvert, this county, for interment,
the Masonic Orders of Brevard and
Hendersonville having charge of the
burial services.
Mr. Glazener was well knov/n in
Transylvania county, having been
reared at Calvert, near Rosman. He
conducted a suc<ressful mercantile
bsuiness in Brevard a few years ago
in connection with his Hendersonville
business. At the time of Ms death
he was considered one of Henderson
ville’s leading business men.
Mr. Gl&zsner was a friend to ev
erybody, and especially to the chil
dren. He never failed to have some
thing pleasant to say to a child when
ever he saw one—rich or poor alike.
The deceased was 51 years of age
and leaves a mother, four brothers
and five sisters to mourn their loss.

The Stewardship of Possessions
Let men see us begin to consider
in all Christian earnestness the ste
wardship of our possessions. What
men see now in so-called Christian
vard. Mr. Griffith’s ability as a
preacher, and his eloquence as a
speaker soon spread over our com
munity to such an extent that al
though the evenings were rainy and
disagreeable his congregation grew in
numbers from night to night as the
mission continued.
There were at the first service on
Tuesday evening about fifty people
and the last service was held in the
Methodist Church Sunday evening
where the Archdeacon preached to
three hundred or more. Mr. Griffith’s
sermons are much talked about; and
it requires no prophet to say that
should Mr. Griffith come again he
would have large and eager congrega
tions to hear him. Come again. Bro

Are We Our Brother’s Keeper?
The patient world thru all its cir
cling years has borne its human bur
den, murmuring not—a selfish horde,
almost by God forgot—a theme to
flood the universe with tears. From
that far distance where there first
appears a rap to pierce the dark con
glomerate blot spewed from creation’s
maw, the common lot. Of man the
crcature changes not nor veers; a cur
rent rushing on from naught to
naught; turgid and turbulent, twix
narrow banks .of grasping greed and
centered self endeavor; each drop
impregnated with the single thought
of striving till all other it outranks;
blind in its petty now to vast for
ever!
This is the painted picture, this the
view of cynic solons in the halls of
state, venting their venomed envy in
heated debate. Cruel and heartless
as a pirate’s crew; haciding the many
for the selfish few. Clasping the hasp
upon our book of iate; seeking the
elder Cain to emulate—Are we our
brother’s keeper? Nay, not you, but
the great world is, war h>s fixed its
fangs just once to often in the hu
man breast, and roused the nations
to their sole surcease. Nor shall we
fail to heed our brother's pangs. The
serried legions of this glorious west
shall head the van guard of the hosts
of peace! W. H. ANDERSON.
THE PRAYER
Christ of Judea^ look Thou in my
heart. Do I not love Thee, look to

Mr. L'’-:7rence states than more
than 1,000 people attended this fair
during the day and that practically
every phase of agriculture and home
economics v/as represented. Forty
head of live-stock v/ere exhibited; 25
entries of purebred poultry made; 200
exhibits of canned goods; 160 exhib
its of fancy work, and 165 entries
were made in the agricultural depart
ment.
After all the exhibits had beer
placed and viewed by the people, a
good, program of athletics and sports
was arranged, and furnished amuse
ment while the judges wc^e at work.
Some of the things in which the vis
itors took part consisted <ff climbing
a greased pole, an official horseshoe
pitching contest, running and jump
ing, a saddle horse contest, and a
bucking horse contest. Climbing the
greasy pole afforded considerable
amusement all during the day while
the horsefehoe pitching contest was al
so an enthusiastic affair.
Much credit is due Mr. J. B. Neal,
Chairman of the Fair Association, for
making the event of entertainment
and interest to the community.

Iri tha tnoblc essay of his on
The Moral Equivalent of War
Yvilliam James speaks of the volun
tary acceptance of poverty, the asce
ticism of delibera-eiy restricted de
sires, as being able to become a
school of the strer.uous life and hero
ism.
Would not this voluntary pooverty,
this free choice of doing without a
great deal w’hich before had seemed
essential to well being, lea.T to liber
ation from material attachm.ents, the
unbribed soul, the manlier indiffer
ence, the paying our way by what
we are and do and not by what we
have, the move athletic trim, in short,
the moral fighting shape.
Who is there in this church today
who will hear that call and answer to
its truth? More and more W’e need
to answer. If the church is to be
worthy to win lives that are willing to
strip themselves of softness and self
ishness for the sake of a high herioc
cause. Then it has got to be made
so by the real devotion of those
who claim to believe that the church
has a supreme meaning for men’s
lives.

A STATEMENT
May all the Baptist, brethren tak«
notice that the space of the Baptist
75 Million‘Campaign Bulletin was
purchased and used by me personally.
What I said .in ■*’he bulletin about
the League of Nation w^ere my honest
views on the subject. I believe the
same way still and I am willing for
any other brother or citizen to be
lieve his way and without my think
ing him wrong in doing so.
In stating my view-s on the Lea
gue I in no wise thought that I was
representing any other Baptist. I
was only just exercising the right of
■*-;v own free soul.
