A FINE ADDRESS.
Rev. j. A. B. Fry Talks to Pupils
About Ambition.

4 Kew. y. n. Is. FRY AaikS W uPHo
| About Ambition.
! Rev J. A B Fry, pastor Of Grace
church, delivered an address. before
| the high school department. Of the
| West End Graded School at O'Clock
| Wednesday morning of last week II
was upon Invitation Of the Senior
| Glass, and his fine address was OF
| such great interest as to hold the at.
| tentiUn Of the youngest pupils res
| ent.
! BY way of introduction the speaker
/ said that as he was "bny" himself
| nothing more than boyish talk could
| lated the school upon the good work
| being done in all departments and
upon the fine reputation of the Win
| stOu schools abroad.
The subject of the address was
| "Ambition." Mr.. Fry said in part:
Every person has some desire to be
great. Every boy or girl who amounts
| to anything has an ambition to do
something noble In fact one of the
| great defects of the present age is the
| lack Of ambition on the part Of boys
| and girls first starting out in life A
| man or woman without an ambition
| will be failure anywhere.
But the important point to be con
| sidered is the kind.of ambition a per
son should have, Some people have a
desire to make a big show to do some
| thing that will attract the attention
of other people.
Others take some great man as a
model and aspire to reach this ideal
for themselves There are Just two
ideals that people usually follow, the
one is to get the world to serve them;
the other is that they should serve the
world The latter is the true ideal
the true ambition for every boy or
| girl to follow Service is the highest
ideal human being can have, for
Christ himself said Let him that
would he greatest among you, be ser
want of ALL Lift up the world by
pouring youroest sefvlce into the life
OF the world, for if you want to be
truly great, you must serve.
There is place high, molly and dig
n'f1ed for every one
But how are we to become useful
SCI wants? The answer is-get ready
for something prep ire yourselves, for
# you throw away the present and
make no preparation for the future,
you can expect nothing from the
future. Make the preparation by hard
honest work.
God never calls an ignorant man to
do any great service or execute any
important trust. He called Moses as
the leader of the children of Israel-a
most learned man.
When Christ was about to lay down
His work on earth, He did not call
twelve ignorant fishermen to take it
up, but He called His twelve apostles
whom he had been preparing for this
service for three years.
Paul was chosen TO carry the gospel
into other lands and he was learned
man who had prepared himself at the
feet Of Gamaliel.
The same preparation is to be seen
il the lives Of Luther, Calvin, Wesley
and the other great men of history.
God always calls educated az d train
ed personalities to carry on the great
work Of the world.
The address was not Onl y eloquent
but SO clearly expressed that every
sentence the speaker uttered had It's
effect.
OMr. Fry but confirmed the reputa-
tion he bears as scholar, orator and
Christian.

The Winston Bar Association Sat
urday evening presented Judge Star
buck with beautiful testimonial In
the shape Of lovely solid gold watch
charm.
The presentation took place in the
court room in the presence OF the law
yers and county officers. The speech
was happily made by Mr.. G. B. Wat
son.
Judge Starbuck made pleasing lit
tie talk in accepting the testimonial
He assured those who gave it that it
was highly appreciated-more so by
the fact that it came from his home
people. During his remarks he stated
that Winston had the strongest and
best lawyers of any town where he has
held court.
The testimonial was given by the
lawyers as mark OF appreciation for
the just and fair ruling Of His Honor
in all the cases tried before him at the
regular and special ter ms OF court held
the present at the closing day OF last
court but the committee appointed to
make the selection could not get what
they wanted and the charm was or
dered through one o. our jewelry
firms.

Opinion In the c. f. IL Y. V. Rail-
way Case.
The Wilmington Star suggests that
no heavy wagers be made on the out
come Of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railway case. 1t seems that a
good deal has been given out prema-
turely by somebody in reference to the
opinion as written. But, while this
opinion, as the Star learns from Rich
mOnd, was forwarded to the clerk OF
the Circuit Court of Appeals in ample
time to be filed on the first day of the
February term, as matter OF fact il
has not yet been filed, and no one
seems to know when it will be filed.
1t is purely matter of speculation
what has caused this delay; but it is
fair inference that the opinion, as
written, is not satisfactory to the
Court, and that it may be revised and
to some extent changed before it is
filed

Mr.. Hunt, who added that one Of the

this was the banner city they have yet

formed that the State does not own q
dollar in the car, as many people have
been led to believe. 1t is private
enterprise. The State did permit the
managers to use some duplicate ex-
