Equinox Season On But No Equinox Day Ebellofl Take* His Blum's Almanac And Cheeks Up On Weather ’ Experts. This weather hereabouts or re cent, clays is known as the equinoc tial storm season, because It is the equinox period, when {nil begins and the day and night are sup posedly of equal length; but, Ebel t-oft, after consulting his reliable Blum's almanac, points out that. It Is the equinoctial season yet there is no equinox—no equal day and night. Which Is to say that the sun does not set and rise at the same .Iwt: this year as is usually the case dur ing the equinoctial period. Ebol toft.'s almanac shows that on Sep tember 20th sunset, came at. 8 o’clock In the evening, while the sunrise does not, come at. 6 o'clock in the morning until October 8. The Greensboro News weather ob server says that the day and night, with equal hours will rome abou; September 27—that. Ebeltoft points out.

K. • Continued from page one > old conception that, requires an oath on the Bible and by God But this test of a witness seems to me to b unnecessary ” Occasion Of Statements. Statements from the ministers were secured ns a consequence ol Ben Wells, who was flogged by n party of marauders In Cabarrm county, bring disqualified in an in vestigation conducted here by -Judge T. J. Shaw, of Superior court Judge Shaw made I lie investigation ns n committing magistrate, when the mob party, which came here from Gastonia, It. was charged, took Wells and two companions, who wen identified with the National Textile Union strike In Gastonia county, o a place near Concord and flogge 1 Wells, but did not flog the other two men. C D, Saylor and C M Bell Wells said he did not believe In God. Bishop E A Pcnifk, of the Epis copal church, was also a liberal in his views, although he did not think that there were any real atheists. He said: I don't believe anybody Is an atheist. Atheism has. as I have ob served it, been limited to an In tellectual pose. But if a man is will ing to take some kind of oath as J to the truth I believe he will fo' 1 j the truth. There seems to me to be no necessary connection between a man's religious views and his moral character. Many men are so un- 1 certain ns to their religious eonvic- : tlons that they are hardly able t.i make any statement of them at all Yet they may be men of character I and Integrity. However, religious conviction is really the basis of that integrity, since all truth is of God, though a man may he un- , consciously in many instances rests* that moral character on religious j convictions that he might not be able to state." Rev. G Ray Jordan, pastor of a large congregation at Dilworth ! Methodist church, said that there j is too much confusion prevailing in i regard to citizenship and relig ious relationship. He said Integrity An Metaphysics. “A man may have moral integrity though his metaphysics may not be at all what I or others may eonsldr as the right metaphysics. I realize that religious opinions may influ ence his attitude in regard to other matters And yet. he may be an avowed atheist and sttll have fine moral and ethical attitudes." M -. Jordan pointed out that too many good-hearted people yell for t.h" complete separation of church an 1 state and still want to use the force of the state to make thpir own notions of religious theory prevail, and he declared that he thought the law of disqualifying a witness who is an atheist is an instance of the hangover of the old belief th-.t church and state are Identical. ‘'A man has the moral right to give h*s testimony in court, regardless if his theories and the state legisla ture ought legally to give him that right” Mr. Jordan said. Rev. Herbert Spaugh, pastor of Myers Park Moravian church, thought that here are no atheists, "but if a man says he is an atheist we ought to provide some form of oath for him that would allow th" court to admit his testimony He Way be capable of telling the truth whether he says he believes in God or not.” Rev Gilbert R Combs. D. D , pas tor of Myers Park Methodist church said that the law on the statute books regarding disqualification of a witness who says he does not be lieve in God must be observed, ' but in tlie meantime wr ought to recog nize the fallacies and then work to improve them t sincerely ques tion that belief m nod is any crit erion of truthfulness. However I believe that a man who believes in God is more likely to tell the truth and I feel that we have seen plenty of evidence of this likelihood Bucknell Lure Fades; Mathewson Kin Quits Ball Player’s Widow Spurns Tradition; it.

A • year ago, Christy Mathewson, Jr., their son, now twenty-one, received bis diploma from the same college. Toting Christy lives with his mother. He Is an aviator now, ow n ing his otvn flying field at Saranac. Two %eare ago the widow of the famous “Big Six" sent her hus band's niece. Miss Grace Mat hew - son. to Burknell. It was this same college that had Its name em blazoned across the country’s news paper pages three years ago when parents of some of the students there protested against a sex ques tionnaire being distributed to the students. However, Grace Mathew son will next week enter Syracuse Univer sity, In New York State, as a junior studying to be a teacher of English. For the first time a Mathewson en ters an alien institution of learning. Tho—dissension. Mrs. Christy Mathewson tells it best in her own words; “There Is no hard feeling on my part against the college. That would MRS. CHRISTY MATHEWSON be a reflection on the memory of Christy^—if I felt bitter. Of course l urn hurt. True, as reported, I did have words with Dean Clark, dean : of the girls there. I have withdrawn Grace from junior year there. 1 “My only complaint was to Dean | Clark. I have not. written to the : college authorities. There is no need I to be unpleasant. I spoke very ! plainly to Dean Clark, of course. I had asked that Christy* niece be housed in one of the famous old col lege buildings at Mueknell. Instead, she was placed in another hall. “That was the first year. The second year I repeated rr-y • st.

In remit disturbances light here tn our own midst The other side of the matter t.s upheld by several ministers Rev. Luther Little, D. D . pastor of First Baptist church, said What stand ards ran a man have if he has no divine standards? There Is no way you have to checl; up on his rrracity or anything else about him if he has no belief in God This checking up would have to fall upon us. and the basis would not proceed from char avti i. rui i luurtnn nuui vilm and belief in God is the highest qualification of character.'*. Not Dependable. Rev C. W. Sommrrvillc. D. D. head of the Bible department of Queens college, Presbyterian insti tution here, declared thnt: “'No man who is an atheist lias the right, to testify because you can put n> dependence in what he has to say. The only ground for believing hi.-i would be his asserted belief m God. Now, a man who is an atheist ' might tell the truth. The devil quite ; often does tell the truth when i, suits him to do so. But you would have no right to know that what he said was the truth from that statement." Rev. John F Crigler. D, D . pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran church, thought that the whole system of government is based upon a belief j God and “our conception of marilitv I is based upon that belief in God.' Rev. W. B. Lindsay, D. D., pastor of Chalmers Memorial Associate Re- j formed Presbyterian church, declar ed that: "A man who docs not be- j lieve in a Supreme Brine has no | moral rode at all. He might, tell the truth I would not assert that an atheist, never tells the truth. But t would have to have more to de pend upon than his statement before T could believe that he was telline the Tacts." Rev. W. W. Akers, D. D pastor of j Volstead Runs Again Andrew J. Volstead, well known for his efforts to create an American Sahara in the land of the free and the horue of the speakeasy, has sig nified his intention of running for office as Representative from Kan sas to fill the scat left vacant through the death of Representative J. V. Kvale. West Avenue Presbyterian church, thought that: "A man who docsn t believe in God and the Bible couM not be relied upon. I wouldn't want to pay any attention to him. He would have to believe in hell. Sure ly. if a man is willing to tell the truth he ought to be willing to swear that he is telling the truth," Star Advertising Pays J.C.PENNEY C SHELBY, N.
