has properly attracted the attention ~
the people. This has resulted in the
laws on the statute books of North
Carolina which are for the protectfor
of youth that 1abors, and there shou'-
be a full observance of the law.
That the laws or this subject az.
not clearly understood has long been
realized, and Judge E. b. Cline. in Ms
recent charges to grand juries. has
given attention to this matter. In do
ing so, he is rendering a service L.
children and parents ant the stat.
for he calls attention TO the dangers
which are sought to be overcome. ana
urges that there be a strict observance
of the law.
The remarks Of Judge Cline on the
matter are worthy Of thought and con-
~sideration. They are:

Dear Doctor LOvett Has Been
Travelling Some.

T HE eminent parsonage named above is the
Rev. W. G. Lovett chief editor of The
Wesleyan christian Aduocate. This is one of
the extremely numerous religious papers
which refuses me the privilege of setting my
self right on the sensitive subject of foreign
missions. Often the Doctor filings some shock
lngly severe fouts my way. But when he goes
upon his travels, he seems to mellow up bit.
and he writes In most good-humored, love-
everybody STYLE
With amazing accuracy of judgement. he
conoeives that the eyes of mankind are upon
him, as he travels; and he, consequently, en-
ters into the minutest details. In truth the
Travel Letters of our dearly beloved Doctor
remind me of Mr.. Jefferson's Diary in which
he entered the solemn fact that he had bought
postage stamp, or had dropped a shilling
into the cOntrlbutiOn-b box at church.
Here Is the rafting style in which Doctor
Lovett begins his letter:
Dear Wesleyan: AS stated in former let
ter, Dr. Dickey left us-Dr. Ainsworth and
meat Philadelphia, for Atlanta Having
gone through the rooms of Independence
Hall, looked upon the portrait of his illus
trlous ancestor, William Few, one of the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independence and af-
terward United States Senator from Georgia,
and admired Wanamaker's, the biggest store
IN the world he decided that it was best that
he should return to the classic groves of Ok
ford"
Please read that again, and raise your left
hand and swear, if you can, who it was that
left the Doctor in Philadel phia Who went
through the rooms of Independence Hall
Lovett and Dickey, or Lovett and Ainsworth?
Find out from this letter, not it's forerunner
and tell Us who it was that looked upon
the portrait of his illustrious ancestor, Will
liam Few? And did Mr.. Few, one of the
Slgners, go with the two doctors to visit Wan
namaker's store! Dr. Lovett's grammar ad-
mits of that bewildering construction
Then, again, was it William Few who de-
cided that it was best that he should return
to the classic groves Of Oxford? We only
have to guess at it, that DR.. Dickey was the

DO You Get Your Paper, and

SOME REFLECTIONS.

Side-or at least portion Of the day-where
there are hundreds Of thousands of Jews.
For density of population | have never seen
anything like it. They are literally packed
into houses which they call home, and many
a mother would count it one Of the mysteries
of life, or demonstration of special providence
to see the little tots three and four years of
age, out in the streets with the wagons and
AUTOS and street cars, etc., and none of them

squ0lor and poverty as are en- evidence here
I haze never seen aaayaohere else. And what
can the Gospel do for these people? How
can they be brought to SO much as to think
of what God and the Gospel are? They
have their own literature, papers in their
own tongue, their own religions, their own
doctors, and many of them never get beyond
their own immediate neighborhood. To save
them en- masse is out of the question, and to
save them by saving the individual seems
slow process. The Gospel is sufficient to save
them if only the Gospel could be carried to
them and they would embrace it. Here c,1na-
a'eazs are bred and the pe7'izs Of our govern
maent and Of our civilization are m0urlshed.
Something however, is being done for them.

the test of the religion of Jesus Christ"
In speaking of the children of the East
Side, whose only Fairgrounds are railroad
tracks, street car tracks, or streets along
which drays, wagons and automobiles are
rushed at reckless speed, DR.. Lovett appears
to say that none of the tots are killed. [ am
sure he did not mean that. Forty humaam be-
ings are reSaa dorm and killed, By vehiczes, IN
Neac Torh City, every aoeeh; and the East
side contributes to the daily carnage.
BY the way, Doctor Lovett, would not the
