Psalms 35:1.
This Week’s EDITORIAL
More Pay For Teachers
Demands by the teachers that the state adopt the
South Piedmont plan for a 40 per cent increase in
teachers’ salaries has the support of a large part of
the public who pay the bills. For too long the teachers
have been content to remain in the background, draw
small salaries, eke out an existence on their meager
pay, and play the part of the martyr.
At long last they, as a group, have grown tired of
seeing those with far less training draw much higher
salaries, and of being patted on the back with one
hand while at the same time the other was being used
to draw tighter the purse strings in so far as they
were concerned. The majority of the teachers have
grown tired of living from check to check, of borrow
ing rnonev to attend summer school and then making
the monthlv trips to the loan office to repay the
money spent the summer before.
It just doesn’t add up. When an industrial concern
wants a man for a responsible position, the officials
don't go out and hire the cheapest man they can find.
They know that in order to get a top-flight man they
must pay top-flight salaries. And the same holds true
in the teaching profession. The state can’t expect
men and women to go on entering the teaching pro
fession year after year when the salaries they re
ceive after years’ of experience don’t compare with
those paid to mediocre men in other professions.
Why should the teaching profession be any dif
ferent from law, medicine, or engineering? If we
want the best, or if we want the good to remain, we
must pay a living wage. And a living wage doesn’t
mean enough to keep the wolf out of the house—we
must pay enough to drive him out of the forest.
No one contends that teachers’ salaries aren’t low
—too low—but the plan as presented by the South
Piedmont group is the only one presented so far that
will bring the salaries up to where they belong.
Those who maintain that the salaries of teachers
have nothing to do with educational standards should
take a look at our record. Not only do we stand 37th
in the nation in education, but for many months dur
ing the year 1943 we led the nation in the number of
men rejected for military service because they were
unable to read or write.
We’ve tried keeping the teachers on a low wage
scale, and have gained nothing. Let us try the other
plan ... it couldn’t be any worse because we were
48th ... and that’s the bottom.

The Pelican,
Name Os New
Southern Train
0
Because of feminine curiosity,
the Southern Railway System to
day gave the name of Louisiana’s
State Bird, The Pelican, to its
previously unglamourously - de
signated New Orleans-New York
trains Nos. 41 and 42.
Announcing the new name for
the trains serving the Crescent
City, President Ernest E. Norris
of the Southern said the sugges
tion came from Mrs. B. M. Grune
wald, member of a prominent New
Orleans fatnily.
Not long ago her curiosity was
arousfd when she noted, while
thumibing through a Southern
Railway timetable, that short,
descriptive names had been given
to all the railway’s trains serving
the Crescent City, except the
mouth-filling “New York-Wash
ington- Chattanooga-Birmingham
-Meridian-Shreveport-New Orleans
Trains Nos. 41 and 42,” to quote
the timetable.
The suggestion came at an op
portune time, Mr. Norris said. The
Southern was already considering
improving the train’s schedule and
adding diesel power between New
Orleans and Bristol. Why not add
a name, too ? And what name
would be better and more appro
priate than “The Pelican” for a
train operating to and from New
Orleans, queen city of “The Peli
can State?” <
Mr. Norris expressed apprecia
tion to Mrs. Grunewald for her in
terest and suggestion. “Os course
we know our nursey rhymes,” the
railway president agreed with a
chuckle, “and we realize we’re
giving parody writers a golden
opportunity for a field day—but
that’s all right with us, because
the more parodies they write the
better known our train will be
come.”

FOREST PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT
; it,
Recent information from one of
the three largest common carrier
railroads operating .in North Car
olina is that raw forest products
(such as lumber, logs, pulpwood,
etc.) constitute approximately 18
1-2 per cent of the total freight
tonnage and approximately 10 per
cent of the total freight tariff of
the railroad. The same informa
tion also indicates that for the
state of North Carolina, and con
sidering carload lots only, approx
imately 17 per cent of the freight
tonnage originating within the
state on that railroad represents
forest products. This illustrates
the vital importance of forest
products to this great transpor
tation industry in the state.

FOREST FIRE DAMAGE
During the past five years
(which period includes two years
of well-distributed and ample
rain-fall) forest fires have done
average annual damage of sl,-
000,000 in North Carolina. These
damages are quite conservatively
estimated and in many cases of
individual fires the damage was
much heavier than these figures
indicate.

Island in South Carolina, and 149
of which will be sent to the Sal

PAUL IN ATHENS AND CORINTH
LESSON TEXT—Acts 17:22-2«a; 18:
1-4; I Corinthians 1:22-25.
MEMORY SELECTION For other
foundation can no man lay than that is
laid, which is Jesus Christ.—l Corinthians
3:11.
History repeats itself, in spiritual
things as well as in secular events
The experiences of Paul at Athens
and Corinth are peculiarly applica
ble to our day, for he/-e he encoun
tered the very problem i which face
(and have apparently stopped) the
church today.
The cities were not far apart In
miles, and they were both pagan, but
they differed widely in their cul
tural and commercial development.
Athens was the home of a godless
culture. Corinth was a prosperous
commercial center known through
out the world for grossly licentious
living.
What did the gospel accomplish
in such cities? We shall soon see.
I. Godless Intellectuality Meets
the Gospel (Acts 17:22-28a).
Paul was alone in Athens. He
had been separated from his com
panions Silas and Timothy (Acts 17:
14), and was to await them at Ath
ens. While he waited he looked the
city over and found it wholly given
to idolatry (v. 16). This was no
idle observation of a scientific mind,
for it caused Paul’s spirit to stir
in him.
It is a bad sign when a pro
fessed Christian can live in the pres
ence of sin and false worship and
not be deeply moved by it.
Paul did something about it! He
went into the great daily gatherings
of philosophers and gave them some
solid Christian philosophy to work
on. They were curious to know
more, and when the opportunity
arose, Paul preached the sermon on
Mars Hill.
He found them superstitiously re
ligious, but religion does not save.
They even feared lest they had for
gotten some god. so one altar was
“to the unknown God" (v. 23). This
gave Paul his opportunity, for he
declared the one true God—unknown
to them—as the answer to their
question.
The intellectual felt superior and
had an idea that God needed him,
a kind of snobbery which is as cur
rent in 1946 as it was in Paul’s day.
How effectively he disposed of that
attitude appears in verses 24 and 25.
They needed God. and without him
they could not draw a breath!
Moreover, the pagan intellectual
then as now would swell with pride
as he thought of the race and people
to whom he belonged. They were
superior —a master race. Paul
declares God’s truth that all men
are of one blood, and that the na
tions are in his hands (v. 26).
What they had to do, and what
the godless intellectuals of our day
need to do, is to seek God in humble
repentance and faith; then lives can
become fine and noble and useful
(w. 27. 32-34).
11. Sophisticated Immorality
Meets the Gospel (Acts 18:1-4).
To Corinth Paul came (evidently
still alone) without friends or funds.
Like all well-bred Jewish boys, he
knew a trade. He was a sail mak
er and tent maker. Rather than
have the ungodly men of Corinth
hinder his preaching by the criti
cism that he was doing it for mon
ey, he supported himself.
The minister who is eager for rich
financial return, and who is willing
to accept the gifts of the ungodly
that his work may prosper, has
closed the door for his testimony to
many who do not believe. In fact,
one wonders whether he has any
real testimony to give.
In this wicked city, givaa aver to
vice and fleshly pleasure, Paul
made his way to the synagogue and
began to preach Christ. He rea->
soned and persuaded and won some
for the Lord as he continued with
them for a year and a half (Acts
18:11).
Paul’s letter to the Corinthians
reveals the struggle of the believers
at Corinth to maintain moral stand
ards and spiritual warmth in such a
city, but it also clearly indicates
that tne gospel of Christ is “the
power of God unto salvation to ev
eryone that believeth’’ (Rom. 1:16),
even in the midst of sin and corl
ruption.
111. The Gospel Meets Sin—and Is
Victorious (I. Cor. 1:22-25).
The wisdom of this world—for
which Athens stood in a special way
—becomes foolish in the eyes of
men. as it is already in the sight
of God, when it stands up against
the gospel (read vv. 18-21).
The preaching of the cross, which
looks foolish to the worldling (v. 23).
is the wisdom and the power of God!
and by it men are saved.
Whether Jew or Gentile, whether
seeking signs or wisdom, whether
“up-and-out" byway of pagan
intellectualism or “down-and-out"
byway of immorality—no matter
what man’s race, or his problem—
the answer is in the gospel which
we are privileged to teach and
preach, for it is the gospel of
“Christ the power of God and the
wisdom es God” to all who are
called by him.
