C. at Wednesday that oral IS All INSPIRING STORY OF DAYS OF ROMANCE NOW GONE BY "Tho Hirth of a Nation" I icttiros Ide alistic fcenes in the "Time That Tried Men's Soul" To he Scon Here Wednesday and Thursday. Art is long, says the poe? and out lasts throne or emperor. Occasional ly, however, old art ideals sway and totter to their fall, whilst a daring revolutionist seizes the sceptre and remakes the world. This is exactly what David Wark Griffith, foremost of directors, is believed by many crit ics to have done by the production of his magnificent spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation," which will be seen the Ideal Theatre next and Thursday. Griffith had an idea speech could be eliminated in great drama. He supplied the absence or words by a symphonic musical score which fits the action like a garment. Result: A new kind of grand opera motion picture plus music plus mechanical effects that bids fair to surpass the achievements of the dra matic stage on the one hand and the most pretentious worhs of operatic composers on the other The director put on "Top Birth or a Nation" as no other'fllmed play not even "Cabaria" or "Quo Vadis" had been put on. He used half or a great State for his locale; 1 r 0 years of American history as his sub ject; 1 8,000 people as his actors; 3, 000 riders and steeds as his cavalry; 5.000 scenes instead of a few scores or a few hundred. His work dwarf ed the old-fashioned stage art to such pettiness that many are won dering whether the so-called "In door" drama is not doomed to long and possibly total eclipse. "The Birth of a Nation" is an in spiring story of romance, love and patriotism culminating in th ' times that tried men's souls", the times of Civil War and Reconstruction. Sup tested bv Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman" it covers a far wider . scope and imparts a vastly greater thrill. New Vork, Chicago. Boston. ' tan Francisco.

To the Editor of The Gazette: From indications some merchants seem to think that the town in which they live owes them a living and that if they are not prospering the people aie to blame. They blame the people for going to the larger city to dp the:r trading. Why shouldn't they go If their home merchants don't carry what they want, or don't display it in nice style, or don't have clerks that know their business and their stocN. Why not, if the home merchant does n't advertise his goods. Actually some merchants boast of not spend ing any money advertising. The idea ! of such a thing. He should be j ashamed to ever admit it.

' . - - ' Kditor of Oiarity and CTilldren, of Thoinasville, Va a Gastonia Visi tor and Mae Address at Firm liaptist 1iurxh In Interest of the Tliomu.sville OrphanaKO "ThanJtw Kivln; Wwi His Theme. Gastonia Baptists had the pleas ure Sunday of hearing Dr. Archibald Johnson, of Thomasville, who is edi tor of Charity and Children. He spoke at the First Baptist church at the 1 1 o'clock service, basing hit talk on the following scripture: "Give thanks unto the Iord lor he is good. His mercy endureth forev er." In substance he said: Thanksgiving originated in New England with the Pilgrim fathers w ho at Plymouth gave thanks to t:ie Almighty for a year of abundance they had been blessed with after their first year's habitation on American soil. In New England Thanksgiving is celebrated mainly by a social gathering with good things to eat. when loved ones gather around the parental fireside. It is a day of pleasure and unalloyed happi ness. This is certainly a fine thing but there should be some thanks of praise and sacrificial service to the Lord for the benefits we have re ceived during the past year. In North Carolina and the South the supreme aim of of our people, wnen they meet on Thanksgiving Day. is to help and bless those who most ' need help. Thanksgiving In th j South means more than a mere day I of jollity, it means a day in which the people not only give praise to God but make their thanks efficient by aiding the destitute and afflicted. Of all the Thanksgiving proclama tions the one written by Governor Jarvis many years ago was the best. He asked the people to send assist ance to the orphanages over the State because he knew the children in those homes needed help much more than any other class of people. President Wilson's 1916 proclama tion was evidently given over to tae boys to write, it falls to measure up to the fine work that he is capable or doing. The people of America have never had a time to be more grateful than now. More than half of the world is bathed in fratracidal blood and this country is at peace with God ana man. 1 believe war always and ev where is of the devil, because God did not intend that man should de stroy his brother. 1 have never been convinced that the Civil War was a righteous war. I stand with the Quakers on the subject of war. There is never anv excuse for war and tne Cnited States should not become em broiled in the conflict. Your orphange is doing a great work at 'I homasville It is taking cate of ."((hi fatherless children, 4."n all Thomasville and ) at Winston, in l.nolr county. The health during I the past year has been excellent, am; I never was the outlook brighter ttian now. The debt of the orphanage has been completly wiped out and tne institution is now on a solid founda tion. The Baptists of North Carolina have supported this institution since it was founded, not a cent having been received from the State or any other source. It is a great and laud abio undertaking and the Baptists or the State are proud of it. Dr. Johnson then spoke of the man agement of the orphanage and the efficient work they were doing, of the life of the children in the home, of the money it required to support the institution and how nobly the obligations had been met, and vari ous other phases of the orphanage work that was of especial interest to his audience. While in the city Dr. Johnson was the sest of Rer, W. C. Barrett,: pas tor of tne First Baptist church. He left Sunday afternoon for another city where be had an appointment.
