Decries “Mechanical Minister” Tre nd | Citizens Here Complain Of Car Hold-Ups’ (Continued from page one.) peered into the face of the driver. “Guess you're not the man we re looking for,” one of them said. “We're waiting on a liquor car." “I guess I'm not,” the county agent answered, "but you two cer tainly came within an inch of being run-over.” And as no other explanations or apologies were offered the county agent continued his Journey home. Other Instances. Other instances of what many citizens term unnecessary hold-ups tic related to court officials here tell of a farmer in the Polkviilc sec tion who was chased for several miles, several shots being fired in the chase, while going after a doc tor late one night to secure his services for a sick member of the family. The farmer at first, it is said, attempted to telephone a doc tor but was unable to reach one and then started out in his car after one only to be followed by several men in a car who attempted to halt him. Later he learned, the re port is, that the men were officers. Some weeks back two young men, another report is, were en route back to their homes in the Union section when they were chased and shot at by a pursuing car over a distance of several miles. Among citizens wno are objecting to being held up and investigated every time it becomes necessary for them to make a motor trip at night the opinion is expressed that a law passed by the last legislature giv ing additional fees to officers for arrests of prohibition violators has had quite a bit to do with the in creased activity which is proving objectionable to some. th* Boy Who Wasn’t a| Boy Angelina Buixelli, sixtecn-year-old “schoolgirl” who has just been dis closed as a boy by Board of Educa tion records at Cleveland, Ohio.

International Newsreal Baptists Start Gathering For Their State Convention Here (Continued from page one.) it has been an exceedingly hard year in many respects,” he added. The pepole in every section of the slate have felt the pinch of the financial depression. However, the actual figures show the chifvches have contributed more to the mis sicnary, educational and benevolent enterprises of the denomination by $15,706 the past year than they did the year before. In other words, tne books at headquarters now show that from Nov. 1, 1928, to Nov. 1, 1929, the Baptist churches of the state have contributed to the ahove causes $487,329.99, whereas from Nov. 1, 1927 to Nov. 1, 1928, the contributln for the same causes was $471,623.27.

Wake Forest Alumni Will Ask More Aid Of Baptist Meet Here Want More For Education Instead Of “Merc Pittance." Will Petition Convention, North Carolina Baptists meeting in annual convention at the Fir it Baptists church here this week wil^ be petitioned by leading alumni of Wake Forest for additional help to that institution, according to a Ra leigh dispatch. The document, widely circulated by 153 alumni, says: “Unless the general situation as it effects Wake Forest changes, there is little hope that our alma mater may no more than take a second or third rate place among the senior colleges or universities of the state. Better death than such humiliation," the document declar ed. There Is Immediate need for $2, COO.OOO at the college for physical equipment and an additional $2, 000,000 for Increased endowment, the report said, ill requesting thar the college get 40 per cent of the regu lar educational funds of the de r.cmination instead of “a mere pit tance," of less than one per cent. The report, prepared at a meet ing of Wake Forest alumni called at Durham some time ago to dis cuss the conditions at the college, was drawn by a committee Headed by Dr. J. B. Turner, pastor of the Hayes-Barton Baptist church, Ra leigh, and by most of the Wake Forest faculty members as well as 1? Asheville alumni and other alumni from all other the-.state. The document contained six rec ommendations including one that the board of trustees endorse the alumni plans to enter the field in behalf of the college and if need be to present the matter to the 3 ext state Baptist convention. The re port also endorsed the work j>f President F. P. Gaines for a great er Wake Forest.

It is the intention of the ooard to supplement commercial and inter* mediate credit bank loans now held by cooperative associations to such an extent that at least 16 cents per pound can be advanced to growers on graded and classed cotton. Because she couldn't get a thrill out of married life, Mrs. Mary Jones of Ottawa, Kan., is suing for a di vorce and plans to enter aviation. IBARGOGRAM Watch Announce ments Wednesday -—Sullivan (Continued from page ouo.) the prophet is disappearing from our midst.” Rev. Mr. Dickey declared that his views did not mean that he was a disbeliever in organization but that his opinion was that pastors are be coming mere cogs in a colossal piece of organization which becomes more centralized each year. Due to standardization of min ister and church he expressed the fear that the local church was losing its identity. Great things are being done, he said, for the denomination tut with the danger of overshadow ing the church individuality and what it means to the spiritual wel fare of the people. ‘‘Instead of working up from our churches,” the speaker declared, "we are working down from the conventions.” "Churches no longer ask ‘Is this a man of God?’ and ‘can he deepen the spirituality of the church,?’ but. Instead, they ask 'Is he a good mix er ,?’ ‘Is he a live wire,?’ and ‘can he draw the crowd?’ and by this method we are developing a stand ard type of preacher—a clear-cut styleplate to which the minister must conform. The pastor who does not fall in line is termed a non progressive and ‘gets in dutch’ with the powers that be. Personally, I do not propose to be swept off my feet by the movement. Our task, bretfiren is to preach the Word, feed the sheep, to lift Him up to the world and cry from the housetops that He is able to save to the uttermost.” The talk, a forceful one, depicted various channels whereby there is a menace that the ministers be made Into a mechanical, unit ratti er than maintained as a spiritual counsellor, and In view of the trend lie urged that the pastors be warn ed. Eleven Years Ago In Shelby Eventful cci with the large white birthday been hardened by the most vicious g test of all; and little brothers and | sisters leaped gleefully from then beds into the breaking dawn, pic turing as they pranced just how soon big brother would get home in his uniform. But in 31 Cleveland county homes there were other emo tions, for to those homes no boy ever came back except in a flag draped casket, but in these homes there was joy, too; a glorious knowledge that sons of others would not now give their all. The comity had sent away 600 sons and by 8:30 eleven years ago this morning Shelby was filled with throngs for the first Armistice cele bration. School let out and hundreds of school children^Joined in the big parade which wended its way noisily to Kings Mountain and back. Hears es bearing placards of the Kaiser and Crown Prince formed a part of the procession, and while the pro cession travelled about the town and county, whistles shrieked, bells toll ed, and every conceivable method of making a noise was brought into play. As Time Passes. That, remember, was 11 vears ago. Today those of the 600 who came back are in business, farming, and the professions. Many of .hem with children now in school, and all reluctant to talk of the events of 1918, but holding, surely, in their memories treasured recollections of the thrills they received when the news came to them ‘over there' rome hours before the folks heard tire glad tidings "over here.” Today Shelby is holding no cele bration. although many minds and much of the conversation today have flitted back to that eventful morn ing on November 11, 1918. Morrison Critical Of Simmons Stand (Continued from page one.) continue to take no part whatever in any discussion, public or private, leading to the selection of a can didate against Senator Simmons. "I think one United States sena torship is enough for any man, ’ he said, with a smile. "It is well known that I contemplate running at the j expiration of Senator Overman’s] term in 1932, and I would not, If I; could, dictate the choice of the I' party for the other seat.| Some of my friends have urged me to run against Senator Simmons, but I think the candidate should come from the east.” !
