Will Gordon is short *21 but fs

Tuesday morning according to Chief
of Police Jimmy Burns. The way it
happened ts this, says Chief Bunts:

agreed to let Gordon in on the find,
but they needed some small bills
to make the change, and divide the
money. When the whole thing was
over Gordon was minus his $21.00.
Gordon reported his loss to the
police department claiming that he i
had been robbed of $140, Gdrdon

KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. THURS
Dr. E. C. Rozzelle
Speaks To Kiwanians
,I)r. K. C, Rottelter Paetor of Cen(ml
.Methodist Church. of Uastoiila,
ku< st ?|K>uker at Kiwanis nice ting
Ihnrvday night spoke on tin- subject
"Why wc Art- and Where arr \\V [ ,
Tlii> s|K'ukfi- tlelved Into Hie pant
In- ifiiraMed a ealvacetle of aiudeut
lu roos before hlK* listener*' imaglna I i
j ** hoi wvdei'u. "Tht gift* of life

r Vh>v' unjr ever kr-owu by man,
vci c ?oiitributL'd by a large degit'o
li> iiuullier igv." .
Ih. Ituttelle said, that wo were
standing on stones. -The first lio
calh d Hebrew ' Christian tradition.
' I' began with Abraham, who built
i he first church when he made the 1
ftrst aliar'for sacrifice to Uoi. The
I'lOlilii'ls. John th.? li'infivl rTh#?
l.'tofcn and Calvary, and the Disciples
art1 all included in this era.
The second. is the arts. This inl.ili'drs
the sculpture, tjie paintings. .
| and the philosophy which date back
j to tlrecce. The Lincoln Memorial,
i tile, most beautiful inemortal in amerlca
today. Is of Greek architecture.
The philosophy of Greece produced
such meu as Aristotle. Pluto
and JJeituSnthenes.
The third is the . ltenalssance,
known in history as an age 01 great i
happenings and of great men. Genu.o's
give the age a brilliance that
tr
has lu-vt.T burpas^i'il or c\tr i
equalled. For 'VOOO years the world
had been dead but during this perl- <
oil, metr began doing things, it pro- '
ductal such ineu as Martiil Luther, >
Calvin, and John Knox. The speaker 1
said the gospel Is preached today |
because these men lived at this i
time. i
The fourth great gift tltat we enJiy
comes from Science. Kverythitm '
we use, even what .we eat. is a ' re- ?
suit of science. Dr. Kozz?)le stated, <
that true religion and true science j
had never clashed but had always j
coincided.
The tilth stone is " Democracy.
This is the contribution that Auier
1
leu lias made. The speaker contrastid
the contemporaries. Louis Xl\
the most absolute and self-willed of j j
p.ll French Kings, and Thomas Jett'ersin
the tat'her of .Democracy.
Louis XIV said: "I am the power ,
and the law." at same time Jetter- <
son was writing iuto the Constitu- |
tion of United States his belief it)
providing an equal chance tor every
man.
As long as we stand on the i?t in-!
ciples of Democracy, we. need not I 1
fear the dictators of Euripe.
The speaker became prophetic '
when lie sail, the next contribution
would come i: in the future. Tinfirst
would come from slciologN
when men learned to live better ds
man to man. The second, would be
world peace. Woodrow Wilson's
I dream of when nations will live together
in unity will surely come.
Let us pray and live that this prophecy
will be fulfilled, he said.
