"THE DUPLIN STORY" AGAIN
(Wilmington Star, April 19)
Announcement that the "The Duplin Story",
which had such well deserved success at Kenans
ville last year, is to be repeated in September is in
deed good news. Sam Byrd of "Tobacco Road" fame
will again direct the production and play the prin
cipal role, and Corwin Rife of Charleston's Dock
Street Theatre will be back as technical adviser, art
ist and mechanical director.
"The Duplin Story" attracted wile attention in
its initial presentation. Observers of wide experi
ence in dramatics agreed that nothing with a simi
lar motif had appeared anywhere in America with
greater merit. As this view necessarily- included
The Lost Colony" and "Common Glory", the Ke
nansville production obviously ranks with the best.
It is seldom that a historical iece designed for
open-air presentation is considered of such lasting
worth as to be repeated year after year. The promo
ters of The Duplin Story" are wisely planning to
enlarge the amphitheater near the Kenansville high
school to accomodate larger audiences than attend
ed last year s event.
TONT THINK for a moment you
" could stand before some Record
ing Angel, with memorandum in

Can It Be a Sin
To Go to Church?
Church-going is not necessarily a
good act Worship may be a quite
wicked deed. Most people are slow
getting that into their heads. They
think that one act of worship on
Sunday will somehow make up for a
lot of bad behavior Monday through
Saturday inclusive. But it Is not so,
The first person in history to see
and to say that worship need not be
good and can even be very bad, was
none other than the prophet Amos.
The Israelites to whom he
spoke were what we would call
a church jolnf people; they
were certainly temple - going.
They followed the same ritual
that was used in Jerusalem,
they offered tithes and sacri
fices, they kept the Sabbath,
they, attended the feasts and
they observed the fasts and they
Bang the sacred hymns.
Yet Amos denounces the. whole
business, and condemns the wor
shippers as guilty sinners. What
was wrong?
It Looked AH Right
READERS of the Old Testament
will remember that at Bethel.
where the Israelites had one of then-
principal temples, golden calves
had been set up to represent Jehov
ah their God. Now even though the
people worshipped the true God.
surely it was wrong to worship him
In the form of an animal.
The form of their worship was all
wrong, much further wrong than
any form of Christian worship is
today; yet Amos does not condemn
them for worshipping in this mis
taken way. Never once anywhere
does he say a word about the gold
en calves. And if he does not say
anything about a big thing like gold
en calves, still less does he have
anything severe to say about less
Important departures from "good
form" in worship.
He dees not condemn the peo
ple for having the wrong hymn
book, or for not having a good
oaou. He hasn't a word of
blame for non-attendance at
worship; Indeed he eomes down -hardest
en these who do attend.
Apparently church attendance
in Bethel was excellent that
was net their trouble.
Again, he has no fault to find with
the Israelites because their "ser
vices were uninteresting." Maybe
they were; but on the other hand
they were probably full of color and
of pageantry, something to see as
well as to hear. Yet Amos wss not
Impressed. Further, he makes no
complaint about poor sermons.
