MRS. KERNER's SUNDAY SCHOOL
She Organizes One in a Log House
Near Oak Ridge,

The last Issue of the Wachovia
Moravian announces that Mrs. Kerner,
widow OF the late r. 3. Kerner, has
organized and is conducting a very
successful undenominational Sunday
School near Oak Ridge. Rev. A. d.
Th9ler recently filed an appointment
there, preaching to god sized audi
ence. In the Moravian he has this to
say of the School and Mrs. Kerner's
work:
'tHere in this school house, less than
Is by 20 feet in size, has been begun a
Sunday School work that has many
points in common with the early noble
pioneer work that has, at last, grown
into widespread reaching out Of
Sunday School activity. Mrs. Kerner
has been, together with her late hus-
band, always impressed by the thought
that so close to her own home there
was a broad field for Christian work,
and, last June, having returned home
after her sad bereavement, she de-
.termined at once to engage in what
her husband had so often spoke Of A
round OF visits among the people OF
the section brought together only
nine scholars the first Sunday after
noon, but the next week these were
accompanied by others, and so the en-
deavOr has spread, slowly but surely,
until there are now between sixty and
seventy scholars on the roll, with as
fair an average attendance as can be
found in any similar school in the
country"

THE MORAVIAN TAX CASE
DECISION RENDERED BY THE
SUPREME COURT.
Only Such Property as is Used for
Religious or Literary Purposes
is Exempt from Taxation


The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case entitled Omitted Brethren
VS.. Commissioners of Forsyth" was
filed Dec. 28th. With some mod flea
was confirmed The following is
synopsis of the opinion:
United Brethren VS. Commissioners of
Forsyth. Opinion by Clark, j.
L. The Constitution Article V, Sec
tion 3, empowers the Legislature to ex-
empt from taxation property held
for educational, scientific. literary,
charitable or religious purposes
. The Legislature can exercise this
pGwer,to the full extent or in part or
decline TO exempt at all 1t can tax
the property held Tor one or more OF
these purposes and exempt that held
for others. Ii may exempt churches
or other property held for religious
purposes and tax buildings or other
property held for literary or scientific
purposes.
3 The Legislature has used its dis
cretlon by exemptlng property, held
for religious purposes and rented out,
when the rentals ARE applied for the
SUPPORT of the gospel while refusing
to exempt any property, held for the
other classes, II rented out.
The exemption in this case is re-
stricted to property "beIOnging to, set
apart and exclusively used for such
purposes. By the words set apart and
exclusively used. is contemplated such
property, as is used directly, immed-
ately and solely for the purposes
named, even though the rents may be
so applied The act of 1898 extends
the exemption as TO property held for
religious purposes, even though rented
out, but the proviso limits the exemp-
tion, SO that it shall not extend to
property held for speculation or where
the rental IS not applied exclusively
for the support of the gospel.
3. The solvent credits and notes are
exempt uuder the act, since it seems
that the interest IS applied exclusively
to the purposes mentioned therein,
but it is competent for the legislature
to subject it To taxation.
6. The property known as the Res
ervation, except that in which the
church is located, is not used for re-
ligiouS, educational or literary pur-
poses and is therefore subject to taxa
tion. The same principle applies to
the SO acre tract. except the Two acres
necessary for use with the school
house built upon it.
I. The house and lot known as the
Bishops house was rented out as a
residence. The rents Of the house and
lot are exempt, but not the lot itself,
because it Is only The rent, that is
~. FOR tie pus pose specified Il. TIE
act
s. Acts of the legislature providing
for exemption from taxation must be
construed strictly.

FOR YOUNG CRIMINALS.
The Need Of Reform School In North
Carolina.

In speaking OF the recent meeting Of
the State Board OF Charities held in
Raleigh, the News & Observer says:
There are now in the penitentiary
ninety-three child cOnvicts, and these
mingle daily with hardened criminals
and are being initiated into the ways
of vice. When they leave the peri-
tentiary they are worse criminals
than when they entered the cheerless
walls.
All through the North and West
State reformatories take charge Of
these young criminals and educate
them away from vice, instead Of lead
ing them deeper into crime. Statis-
tics show that ninety per cent. of
those sent to refOrmatOries are saved
to the State as useful citizens.
Over twelve hundred children are
convicted of crimes OF greater or less
magnitude in North Carolina every
year. The majority OF these become
criminals and augment the class that
fills her jails, poor-houses. and peni-
tentiaries.
