STREET CARS ON SUNDAY.
Should One Stay at Home Rather Than
Ride to Church?

4stoC ~ /.
A few weeks ago Rev. L. L. Albright,
pastor of the Methodist Protestant
church propounded two queries In
"Our Church Record" the last one
being this:
SHOULD one stay at home on Sun
day rather than ride to church on a
street carr"
In last weeks issue of the Record
the editor answers the question as
follows:
I'VE see no wrong in the use of
vehicles Of an kind to carry people to
church On Sunday, and think that the
public sci1ould require, in giving right
of way, that cars should be run OF
Sunday, if run at ali, as means of con-
veyance for public worshipers and
other legitimate Sunday travellers.
street cars might, if rightly en-
ployed on Sunday, greatly promote
nifty. The wrong, we think, is not in
using them, but in misuSing them
The company might so prostitute
the means Of conveyance to which the
public has given right of way that we
would feel morally bound to boycott
them, not only on Sunday, but every
day:
How 1t Is In winston, we do not
know, and we will have to leave the
Winston people to decide this ques-
tion OF casuistry, each for himself.
1--WE believe the Christian Sabbath
should be kept, not only as a day of
rest, bnt also as glad memorial day,
in honor of our risen Lord, and the
day seems to be best celebrated
through the public congregation. To
meet together requires some physical
effort; but this, we think, is not a
violation of the Sabbath rest, if it be
put forth with view to honoring
Christ. The end never justifies the
means, but it may sometimes sanctify
the means" p"

AGAINST PEN SIONS.
"A Bill Introduced by Maj Grant in
the state Senate.

"A Bill lnCrOuuC"'u Dy Nsa.t. 0F1nU IN
the state Senate.
From the Goldsboro Argus)
So Major Fl. L. Grant, who himself
draws a pension from the Yankee
side of the line, although able bodied
and unwounded, last week introduced
a bill in the State Senate TO repeal the
act pensioning, at a poor pittance, the
wounded Confederate soldiers of this
State. He would take from them,
wounded and manned, helpless and
starving though they be, the poor
pittance that their own State has pro-
videG for them and which their own
home people willingly pay, while he
himself draws a Federal pension for
helping tc wound them at the head Of
a negro regiment. And this is the
man whom many old Confederate
soldiers voted for in the late election
on the Fusion ticket against Ben
AycocA for the Senate, aud b. whose
votes he was elected. This is how he
repays them: He and Marion Butler
pulp for Abe Middleton, thir bury
negro henchman. in preference to a
one-legged Confederate soldier, as
assistant door-keeper, and now he
wants their pension taken from them.

WASHINGTON AND LEE.
The Former Fought Englishmen; the
Latter Fought all the World.

Saturday WIS the anniversary Of the
birth of General Robert E. Lee, COM
mander-in-chief Of the Confederate
Army. This day was made legal
holiday by the Legislature Of North
Carolina some four years ago, and is
rightly observed in many parts Of the
State.
A citizen of Winston furnishes THE
SENTINEL with the following lines,
written many years ago:
There is a custom, hallowed
Midst all nations of the earth.
To make, with ceremony grand,
Each noble Patriots birth.
AS a Rebel, if successful, in
His country's Noble Son.
With joy we greet the natal day
OF REBEL WASHINGTON.
l may be wrong It's hard to tell,
But thus it seems to me,
That the one. the only difference twixt
WASHINGTON and LEE,
Was this, the first succeeded,
The last was downward hurled,
But WASHINGTON fought Englishmen,
While LEE fought all the world.

University Student Gives $500.

A student of the University of
North Carolina, much impressed by
the poverty of his fellow students and
by their struggle to get an education,
has given President Winston $500 to
be used in aiding such students as are
especially needy and deserving.
About twenty young men now at the
University are supporting themselves
entirely by labor, while at the same
time pursuing their studies. Fully
one-third of all the students in the
University are living wholly or partly
on money earned by themselves.

The arguments are to be found IN the

who has to buy manufactured goods.
It is almost astonishing to compare

TEE ANNUAL ADDRESS,.

II Z IN AL ADOhcSo.
How to Eyangelize the World in
Ten Years" was the subject of the
spiendid address delivered by Rev.
byterian church. He said that his
subject was too broad for brief dis
cussion and that in his opinion bet
ter one would be this question: 'Can
the World be Eyangelized in Ten
Years 20
To Evangelize the whole world does
not mean to convert but to preach the
gospel to every nation, said Mr..
Caldwell. Some one has said that
the world will be evangelical during
the present generation. How long
ought it to take the church of Christ,
united to evangeiiZe the world ?
We can reach the darkest mine in
fartherest Africa, from Winston-Sa-
lem in two months time.
The Word of God is now spoken in
nearly three hundred different Ian
guages.
1t seems that all things are now
ready for the Church to march to her
conquest.
The Protestant churches have 5000
missionaries at work with 30 600
helpers. The latter number should be
fOrty-one millions.
It. is fact that a majority of the
wealth in America and Europe is in
the hands of the Christians. Were
we to give one-tenth of all our incomes
the church could readily support half
a million of missionaries abroad. The
Church certainly has means of access
to foreign fields. She has the finances
and the prestige. There is just one
thing lacking, and that is necessary-a
possession of the Holy Spirit-a new
baptism from on high-Reconsecration
to Christ.
