MRS MARY K

The following, from an Independent,
is worthy of thought:
I'VE know of q believer who
attempted to supply his spiritual wants
from the Old Testament, alone. There
are a great number who practically
live on the New Testament alone. It
Is q great mistake. There are elements
OF character which require Old Testa,
ment nourishiment."
Says T. A. Hoyt, "But for the Bible
we would know nothing of the origin
of the universe. Ali of the cosmog.
onies that men have invented are pu
Grille conceptions. That God created
the heavens and the earth, making all
things by the word of his power-this
the greatest minds of antiquity failed
to discover. This book, only, unfolds
the sublime panorama of creation, in
which we behold worlds roll from the
plastic hands Of the Creator, and begin
their mighty revolutions, while all the
sons Of God shout for ~"
The Psalmist says: Thy word is
q lamp unto my feet and q light unto
my path" Thy word is~very fine;
therefore thy servant loveth it," Thy
word is true from the beginning, and
everyone of thy righteous judgments
endureth forever" Thy law is the
truth" "AH thy commandments are
truth" Jesus said to those Jews who
believed On him, IF 5e continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed,
and ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free. Jesus pray
ing for those who had believed on
Him, said: ''Sanctify them through
Thy truth; Thy word is truth. As
Thou hast sent me into the world, even
so have / also sent them into the
world. And for their sakes I sanctify
myself that they also might be sancti-
fed through the truth"
The Apostle wrote concerning the
Berean Jews, these were more noble
than they of ThessRlonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of
mind and searched the scriptures daily,
whether those things were So"
As light is opposed to darkness, and
as truth is opposed to error, so the
Bible is opposed to ignorance, for ig
norance of the truth is the foundation
of all error.
Since our knowledge of the Holy
Scriptures must depend upon our
knowledge of the words used as signs
of those ideas which were in the Fer
nal Mind before the creation OF the
things which now exist, and which
are to US the immediate and constant
evidence of a Being that must always
have existed as the great I AN, whose
name implies implies eternity, immor
tBlIUy and possession; therefore, it is
necessary for us to study the meaning
of those words, and seek to enlicn our
minds with the grand and beautiful
treasures of wisdom which abound on
every page Of that divinely inspired
book that has been given TO us to be a
lamp unto our feet and a light unto
our path" The thought of all those
glorious things that the Scriptures re
veal, should draw us daily to the
study of the Holy World, to which no
lone may add and from which 40 one
may take away.

ABOUT BUCKET SHOPS.
There is a State Law Against Them
Which Was Enforced by the Mayor
of Winston.
winston lSentinel.)

There is a State Law against the oper-
alton of bucket shops and it should be
strictly enforced everywhere. That the
violations are winked at lis to be de-
plored. 1t should be manifest to the
moral sentiment in every community that
these concerns, under the disguise of
business, sow seeds of gambling that will
surely bring forth a harvest of distress
and, possibly, dishonor, and this moral
sentiment should protest in thunder
tones against them. The cloak of ''busi-
ness" should not scree them from denun-
citation and the clutches Of the law.
Business" should never occupy a higher
place than morality and the general we'll
being of the citizenship.
We are glad that Winston-Salem is not
afflicted with one of these dangerous
and demoralizing concerns. 1t will be
remembered that one attempted to gain
a foothold here, several months ago, and
that the Sentinel threw it's influence
against it and that in its position it had
the cooperation of the mayor, Mr. Eugene
f. Gray, who plainly told the applicants
for license that the business" was
against the law and that if they insisted
upon pushing their application he would
recommend that it be not granted.
Whereupon, the bucket-shop fellows fold
ed their tents and took their departure.
All honor to Eugene Gray for his manly
action! Would that other mayors had
acted likewise and run this nefarious
business" out Of the State.

SANFORD VS.. POE.

We called attention to this decision
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States yesterday as one which, if prop
erfy enforced in North Carolina, might
add some forty or fifty millions Of dol
lars to our tax list. We note that the
American Law Review" has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the decision:
1.-The success of these interstate COM
merce agencies in levying tolls upon the
people and at the same time in
evading their obligation of con-
tributing their share towards the
expense of the State govern
ments might protect their property,
created a feeling of satisfaction that this
case" will cure this defect. Asowe point
ed out yesterday, the Southern Railway
pays taxes in North Carolina on ST.
100000 only, but levies tolls on North
Carolina to pay the interest on about
ne-fourth Of it's blanket mortgage Of
S120,000,000 and dividends on one-fourth
of its stock of S4O,OOO,OOO, as the milea ge
in this State is about one-fourth of its
total of owned and leased lines on which
it has placed the immense total of $780,
100000 of bonds and stocks that the
public may pay interest and dividends
