DR.. SINCLAIR'S INNING
From first psge

Ecclesiastical circles have been
greatly stirred recently over the
barring of the Unitarians from the
Inter-Church conference held in New
York last month. This was con-
ference where thirty evangelical
denominations were officially repre-
serted for the object of federation.
The meaning Of that is that all the
Evangelical Protestant churches of
America will unite for the promo
ton of pure religion, morality and
good works. About 10000, 900 mem
bers Of churches are included in
this. One plank in the platform
was that the divinity of Christ is
essential to salvation. The Uni
tarians of Boston met and elected
three delegates for the conference.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale was one
Of the delegates. When they pre-
sented their commissions they were
refused place on the floor on the
ground that they did not believe in
the divinity Of Christ. Then the
ecclesiastical storm began all over
the east. The Unitarians held a
meeting last night, at which DR..
Minot Savage Of New York was the
chief speaker. He told the audience
that he had preached in the pulpit
of Calvin two years ago, and a man
asked him after if he did not think
that Calvin turned in his grave
when he finished his sermon. He
replied, "No, Calvin has had $50
years to think it over now, and if he
had been there he would have agreed
with me. j." Character was the test
of salvation, not creed. The real
translation of that was, "Be good
and you will be happy"
1t was announced at the meeting
that an international Council of
Liberal Religions" will be held in
Boston in 1907. This council will

said about it that did not see how
the Inter-Church conference could
do anything else than keep the
Unitarians out. The divinity of
Christ excluded them. Whether that
plank might have been left out of
the platform was another question,
but with that plank in, the confer
ence could not do anything else.
Next day our pew secretary told
me that two members had given up
their pews because the minister said
that Unitarians were not Christians.
They had been brought up in the
Unitarian church. Literary Boston
will sometimes misinterpret things
you see. But we are not going to
close the church.
Brookline celebrated the 200th
anniversary of the organization of
the town two weeks ago. Though
we are almost surrounded by Boston
we are not part Of it. We have
our own council of selectmen and
manage our own affairs. One result
Of this is that taxes in Brookline are
little more than half of what they
are in Boston. On celebration day
the masses of Brookline thought
that the committee on Celebration had
not provided for them, out of the
appropriation of $1,000, sufficient
amusement. When the aristocrats
were banqueting in the town hall in
the evening, a counter demonstra-
ton was got up outside. About a
thousand men and boys started a
street parade with torches and ban
ners with all sorts of notices I'M
complimentary to the committee.
During the whole evening, while the
speechifying was going on in the
hall, there was a dread of an inva-
sion. Each speaker, as he sat down,
felt relieved that his speech was not

Second-A supply of books for those
who wish them, mainly for passtime

Third to students, already re-
ferred to and to Others outside the

Fourth A supply of high grade iu-

assistance OF a trained librarian in
guiding children to the best habits Of
reading.
The last service mentioned needs
more space than can be given here and
it is to be hoped that some one will
write an article devoted wholly to the
value to the community of this work.
Those who have observed the continuous
efforts along this line of our former and
present librarian are of the opinion that
this is the most valuable feature of the
library service.
If member of the School Board is
correctly reported as comparing the Lii
brary Board to the boy spending all his
cash for a pocketbook, he underesti-
mated the fact that the library started
the first year with 1,50O Volumes and
the annual income from taxes and sale
of library tickets to those outside the
city insures additions of at least 400
volumes per year, after paying all neces-
sary expenses and without counting
contributions, which surely should not
be Withheld and no doubt will be much
more liberal because the board has
furnished competent management.
1t is not intended as a criticism to
say that other duties may have prevent
ed this member from learning that dur
ing November alone there were issued
from the library 1921 volumes, an aver
age Of over so per day. There were 60
reference workers and 80 new regis
trations In addition there were 548
readers at the tables, all showing

view, however, of the large results,
which have been accomplished in so
short time, it is for those who criti-
else this action to find, if they can,
where there has been similar success
under the uncertain and unskilled care
which they recommend. 1t sldue to
those who have contributed to our large
library investment that it shall be made
as widely useful as possible and the
Library Board feel amply justified in
placing it in charge of one who has
made special preparation for such re-

adds 20 cost to the taxpayer.

DR.. Skinner Dead.

At two o'clock Thursday morning,
Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Skinner, the old
est BaDsdst minister in this State, and
very widely known, died at Rex Hos
pital in Raleigh Of pneumonia, which
set in last Monday. He was apparent
ly quite well Monday morning. His
age was 80 years, and he was born in
Hartford county, his father being Mr..
Charles Skinner. He was a graduate
OF the University Of North Carolina,
and of the Union Theological Semin-
airy, New York. His first charge as a
pastor was the First Baptist Church
here, which was built by his father,
who was very wealthy. For several
years, DR.. Skinner was pastor Of the
leading Baptist Church at Memphis.
He was twice married, his second
wife having been Miss Ludlow, Of
New York, who died two years ago.
Three children survive, Mrs. Snow,
Mrs. MeGehee and Mr.. Charles Skin
ner. All three childre are here.
Dr.. Skinner was greatly beloved.
For 80 years he was president of the
board OF trustees of Wake Forest Col
lege. His fine library was made a
gift to that college. Last year he had
an attack of pneumonia, but apparent
ly recovered entirely. He gave up
Raleigh as his home about two years
ago, after his son Ludlow was shot
and killed here, and went to Arden,
near Asheville, to live with a daugh-
ter. He was on a visit here to Rev.
DR.. Tyree and Mr.. G. B. Edwards.
1t is a matter of comment that he
should have returned to his old home
to die. He vas a wonderful man, and
in the midst of crushing sorrows never
lost hope, his faith, his trust, his love.
His body has been placed in the First
Baptist. Church, to remain until the
funeral tomorrow. The burial will be
in lakewood Cemetery.

Dispensary Beat at AshevilIe.

Asheville, Special.-The election in
Asheville to determine whether the
mountain metropolis should take whis-
key straight from a ~dispensary pint
bottle or have the privilege of indulg-
ing in fancy drinks over the bar coun-
ter, resulted in a sweeping victory for
the open saloons, the ~dispensary suf-
fering defeat by a majority of 529.
The total vote cast was 1887, or al
most 400 short of the registered vote.
The election was, contrary to expecta-
lions, n of the quietest and most
orderly for many years All the per-
sonal feeling and bitterness that was
manifested during the campaign seem.
ed to have been entirely eliminated,
and the forces worked in good humor.
At an early hour, the dispensary cause
was given much encouragement, and
in several Of the / ecincts the dis
pensary led until shortly after eight
o'clock, when the opponents began
f1ocking to the polls. and at $50 the
saloons had a lead of 500. From this
hour on, the ~dispensary gradually lost,
until the closing of the polls, when the
official vote showed a majority for
the saloons.
