"Conditions of Discipleship'

The Christian church was full again
last night to hear Evangelist Patter-

en- values proportionately to their du-
ration or the cost of obtaining them.
In certain parts of the country we
mine coal upon which we set value.
In other parts we mine lead and set
greater value upon it than upon coal
not because of the practical utility
of the lead above that of coal. but be-
cause of the scarcity of it and the
necessity for greater sacrifice OF time
bey, energy and life to obtain an
equal amount of the latter to that OF
the former. We set proportionate val
ues upon silver, gold and diamonds
for the same reason. There is value
upon liberty greater than upon gold
silver and diamonds. The price OF
liberty is home, comforts. friends and
lite, without the sacrifice of these
things we could never have and en-
Joy liberty. The greatest liberty known
is that purchased for man by Jesus
Christ, viz: liberty from the bondage
of sin. This came not save through

DAVIS SMALLNESS
Refuse to Order Agricultural Repo:.. =
ed Printed on Personal Grounds

Another 'situation' has arisen in
statehouse affairs, says the Little Roc'i
Gazette. The probabilities are that
the biennial report of eX-agricultural
Commissioner Frank Hill, now of Fay
etteyille, will not be published unless
ordered by the approaching session of
the legislature. 1t is claimed on good
authority that Gov Davis, who is at
outs with former Commissioner Hill,
refused to consider the report of the
commissioner when that documeDt
was submitted to him some time ago
for approval. The report has been pre-
pared for several weeks, and is now
lying idle in a desk in the agricultural
department. 1t comprises the usual
valuable information gathered by a
commissioner of agriculture relative to
the resources and progress OF the state
individually and agriculturally. Elk
Deputy Commissioner Guthrie worked
five months on the report under the oil
rection of Judge Hill. 1t will make
considerable volume.
All the reports of the departments
are in the hands of the printer except
that of commissioner of agriculture.

MORE NAVAL OFFICERS.
Believed That Congress Will Act Fa-
vorably on Increase

Washington, Dec 9.-The chances
are now better for an increase in the
number of officers in the navy and ma
rine corps than they have been at any
time since the personnel became a
law. The leading men of both the
aouse and senate are apparently CON
yinced that there is an imperative
need for more officers in these two
branches of the service and there is
a very general disposition to increase
the force. The only point to be deter
mined is the number of additional Of
ficers to be granted.
The naval committee took an action
Yesterday when the subcommittee on
organization, rank and pay was in.
structed to submit report to the full
committee before Christmas, covering
the question Of increase in the navy
and marine corps.
Representative Butler of Pennsyl-
vania, one Of the members of the sub
committee that is to draft the increase
bill, says that while he has not can
vassed the members of the naval COM
mittee. he feels confident that nearly
all of them are favorably disposed to-
ward granting Secretary Moody's plea
for more officers.

governor and the agricultural com
missioner to agree as to number of

The fact that Governor Davis had re-
fused to take any action in the case OF
Judge Hits report did not leak out
beyond the statehouse officials until
yesterday. 1t was then stated that
when the governor received the report
he threw it under his desk. 1t was re
turned to the department of agricu
ture and will probably remain there
until the matter is taken up by the
legislature.
Ex-Commissioner Hill is at present

FORMER Deputy COMMISSIONER Guth-
RE of Judge Hills incumbency stated
| the case as given. He said that the
governor had given no reasons for his
action to the department, and the gov
ernor's approval being necessary to
all departmental reports, nothing could
be done in the matter before Judge
Hill went out of Office.
, 1t is understood that the governor
will mention Judge Hills report in his
message to the legislature.

A
In his recent work, .sThe Lower
South" the author. Mr.. G. w. Brown,
seeks to place upon the brow of the
Afro-American people Of the South this
rhetorical stigma: Africa mocks
America from her jungles. STILL she
jeers, with the dense darkness of my
ignorance l confound your, .enlighten-
ment. Still with my sloth I weigh
down the arms Of your industry. Still
with my supineness / hang upon the
wings of your aspiration. And in the
heart Of your imperial young republic
I nave planted, sure and deep, the mis-,
cry of this ancient curse I bear.' .
Mr.. Browns idea is that the illiterate
Afro-Americans of the South should be
left in their ignorance; he fears that
they are acquiring too much knowl
edge, and it has been said that "Knowl
edge is a dangerous thing" Mr.. Brown
is wrong in flinging this taunt into
the faces of the entire race, for thu
Afro-Americans of the South have, dur
ing the forty years of freedom, wipeG
out a greater percentage of illiterac3
than have the Caucasians.
