The world Is full of the praises of
the hero who goes out into dang r
to risk his life for the welfare of
others. Such a man deserves full
credit for what be risks and what
he accompllshes, but there are
others who make less commotion,
yet sacrifice just as much. and
among them, or perhaps at the
front of them, Is the girl that stays
at home. Not that home IS such a
terrible place to stay. But In the
lifetime of nearly all of Us an occa.
sion arises for breaking home ties
and going forth into the world
to face the fate that Is N
store. The young men leave the
home nest to work out their ca.
reers.

DIR. JAMES P. SMITH
FOR MODERATOR.

In Its issue which will appear tomorrow
the Presbyterian Standard. Of Charlotte,
will contain the following. which will res
ceive the hearty endorsation OF many los
cal Presby terians:
The Standard ventures to depart from
the traditions Of the Southern Presbyte-
rian Press for once and to suggest the
name OF DR.. James p Smith, the editor
OF the Central Presbyterian. for the mod
eratorshlp Of the assembly. His election
would DO so emlnently fitting for the
assembly meeting In Lexington that We
feel sure the suggestion will be taken In
the spirit In which 1t Is made Forty
years ago this month he was one of the
faithful lleutenants on Stonewall Jaok1
sons stafr, who helped his wounded CONS
rnander off the field of battle and protects
cd his falnting body with his own in the
terrible storm Of shells and bullets that
swept their road. It was he who brought
jackson the news of the victory at Chan-
cellorsville, who rode the long and dan-
eerous way to Richmond for help to nurse
him, who mlnistered to him IN his last
hours, and who accompanied the body OF
his chief to its resting place In Lexlngton1
This assembly will necessarily have many
OF Its associations connected with the
mime and fame Of General Jackson. To- z
say nothing Of tho service DR.. Smith has
given the Southern Church rs pastor and
editor; to say nothing OF the fact thacI
