Buffoonery In The Pulpit The Literary Digest. No word has come front Heaven whether a woman who has shorn | her hair in the latest style trill ba i welcomed there. Nevertheless; the question lias been raised in the pulpit, though it it no: announced by what authority the preacher assumed to answer it. Unhappily, such themes are not uncommon in the pulpit, and The Rapiist voices a ‘timely protest” against wliat it teims ‘The vulgar ization of religion.' ‘The cause of the Church and of Christianity,” remarks The Baptist emphatically.“Is not advanced but. retarded by (he advertisement of sermon themes, which are them-, selves coarse and low, and calculat ed to appeal only to the instincts of a morbid or a base curiosity ” The Chicago journals remarks are occasioned by The American Mercury, which, in its Americana is accustomed to collect bizarre in cidents in church life and display them for the amusement of its read ers. And The Baptist notes sor rowfully ‘In a single issue we hnd record ed four sermon subjects of the type to which we are referring: ‘Can a Bobbed-Hair Woman Go to Heav en?’ ‘Will There Be Any Bootleg-1 ger in Heaven?’ ‘How Do Son-in law- Get Along with Mothers-in law in Heaven?' and All Aboard!’— an unobjectionable theme but il luminated by ushers who used rail road lanterns to teat the people, and by the installation of s n electric train, which lent color to the ser vice by running round the platform, and lent sound byjts exhaust and i whistle ‘It docs not add io our compla icency to note that three of these four subjects were the choice of I Brptirt preachers "We do not know with what ma lign intent or covert amusement these eccentricities are paraded, but our sense of humor is not suffleient ily cultivate to enjoy them: We ra ther bow our heads in a kind of vicarious and collective shame.

Here Saturday night the Belmont Abbey outfit, with one victory al ready this .reason over the orange five, started a second-string outfit. The locals •'pened up with a rush that caused the visiting coach to send in his first-stringers.

FOR SERVICE AND QUALITY SEE KENDRICK BRICK & TILE CO. MOUNT HOLLY, N. C. Not Morons But But Slick Ones The Literary Digest. It isn't the Moron's who are responsible for crime waves. It is the clever people, people who are smart enough to avoid detec tion, we are told, who commit most of the crimes which startle the country. “One intelligent stockbroker,'’ says Dr Abraham Myerson of Boston, "can do more harm through his manipulation of the. market than all the mentally diseased persons in the State of Illinois." That, says the Boston physician, disposes of the contention that the mentally diseased consume a ma jor criminal problem. "No. they just happen to get caught more often than intelligent people. As for surgical methods of pre venting crime increase. Dr Myerson believes that "sterilization of the unfit" is not justified. In the first place, not enough is known about the facts to prove that this proced ure has any value. In the second place, there might be sharp differ ences of opinion as to fitness or un fitness. Of Crime The Boston specialist s remark are quoted approvingly by America, a New York Roman Catholic week ly, which says they show that scien tists’ ore giving up the theory that a great, perhaps a major, part of crime in this country is due to men tal instability or to physical condi tions easily removed by the sur geon's knife. The most dangerous criminal, ob serves this Roman Catholic weekly, is the man who has developed his intellectual faculties to their highest pitch, and eliminated every prin ciple of religion or morality.
