NO OPPOSITION TO ELLYSON.

A Richmond visitor to this town
says that the belief prevails in Rich
mond among :; wide circle that Lieu
tenant Governor Ellyson will be nomi-
mated and elected Governor of Vir-
ginia without opposition. The idea is,
says this intelligent Richmond visitor,
that Mr.. Ellyson deserves the honor,
that he is eminently qualified to fill
the office, and also, that if not chosen
Governor now he will never be, per-
haps, and that public sentiment favors
his nomination and election without
opposition.
Sometime ago, soon after Mr.. Ely
son announced his candidacy, this pa
per suggested and urged that he be
elected without opposition and the ex-
element and worry of Il political
fight. 1t should be so. AS the matter
stands now he cannot be defeated.
His opponent, whoever he may be.
will have only Il defeat for his trouble.
Besides his eminent qualifications and
personal merlts Mr.. Ellyson is Il pro-
minent and popular Baptist, and few
members of this large denomination
in the State will vote against him.
They mold the balance of power, and
while the denomination does not be-
lieve in any sort of coalition between
church and State the individual mem
bers of the churches will not hesitate
in the exercise of their rights, to Sup
port their man." other things being
equal, and in doing TINS can elect Mr..
Ellyson or any other man upon whom
they might choose TO unite. Besides,
other candidates named are younger
considerably, and have time enough
yet. So, it will he fitting to make MIR.
Ellyson Governor without opposition.

knows that men who undertake to
teach men must be prepared to do it
in such manner as to attract inter-
est and "hold them together"
The Sunday School teacher or
preacher either, who imagines he can
20 before his class without study and
preparation, and dish out just any
kind of talk, will soon find the seats
vacant and the boys gone fishing and
automobile riding. In this day as
never before, people are reading. The
best and most attractive literature is
so abundant and so cheap us to be
within reach of every boy and girl,
man and woman, who cares to read,
On the other hand, the man who does
his best to inform himself, and pre-
pare something good and interesting,
be he superintendent, teacher or
preacher, will not lack for hearers,
and will have live school. a Col
lege education is not an absolute cs-
scntial. Some of the most successful
teachers in the Sunday School, are
to be found among men and women
who never saw the inside of college
or university, but while this is true
it is also true, that some preparation
and study is necessary. To do the
best we can and the best we know
how, this and only this is our duty.
Let not our friend and others like
him he discouraged.
A great man says: "Thc best pre-
paration for teaching the Bible is OBJ
taned on our knees. If any man lack
wisdom let him ASK of God" The
Bible is written iR simple, plain Ian
guagc, more easily read and under
stood for the most part, than any
other book ever written.
Any boot or story is easily under
stood if the reader is interested in
1T and likes it and after he has read
it he can tell you what it was all
about. The same is true of the books
and stories of the Bible. Here is a
good proverb: "rhe Bible will keep
me out of sin, but sin will keep the
Bible out of me-"

Bryan Boosted by Brooklynite.
Brooklyn, N. Y. Aug. 2, 1915.

80 Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. 2, 1915.
To Editor of Roanoke Times:
Many of us may not agree with the
past or present political ideas of Mr..
Bryan-but on the most momentous
issue of peace or war, we are with
him. In the hour of need he did not
forsake the American people. He
quit the cabinet to be free to render
the people signal service. When pas
sion ran high, his manly act of sever
ing his connection with the ship of
state, that was steering madly for the
rocks of discord. restored reason and
amity to the pubic mind and gave it
back its self-possession. The last
note to Germany has been deprived
of its sharpest sting by the general
realization that it does not represent
the present mind or the last word of
the American people.
His heroism is of higher order
than the physical courage of tn esol-
der. He has shown the spiritual
coruage of the soul. When the mil
lionaircs and munition- mongers, that
are trying TO draw us into war, will
be forgotten, Bryan will stand out i'm
history, Il true humanitarian. every
inch an American and man.
Respectfully.

Little Mother of Mine.

Sometimes in the hush of the evening

When the shadows creep from the
west,

And the boy you lulled to rest;
The wee little boy with the tousled
head,
That long, long ago was thine;

that boy,
o, little mother of minel
AND now he has come to mans estate,
Grown stalwart in body and strong,
And you'd hardly know that he was

But his heart is unchanged by time
And still he is only the boy as of old

"As n Flower"
In Memory of William Paxton Hall, Jr

A brighter and more interesting
child-life could not have been plucked
from 4 Norton home, than that of
little William Paxton, the baby of
Mr. and Mrs. w. p. Hall, of this city
He did not seem to die; the term would
be too harsh to apply in this case,
but as he had frequently done bcforc.
calmly and baby-like, as if on his fond
mothers breast, he was soothed to
sleep.
Father Ryan said, and very tenderly,
too, as he always did:
My feet are weary and / am sore
oppressed.
| sigh for rest, sweet rest"
Such was the passing of this bright
little star of the home.
The white haired poet of Uz has
given us in the Bible one of the most
striklngly beautiful illustrations des-
criptive of the child-lifc just opening
to the morning. The bow of promise
appears a little brighter, as it en-
circles such life. Speaking of life. he
said: ut cometh forth like Il flower"
Who could not see the beauty as well
as the truth of this statement, ,depict-
ed in the sweet face of William Paxton
Hall, Jr., on last Sunday morning ms
he slept on a veritablef bed of lilies
and roses? In that innocent face there
was the purity of the lily and the rich
colorlng of clustered roses. The vio-
lets seemed to share their tints of

One thing is ccrtain-the school of
the future will be different. The school
OF the present is not satisfactory. 1t
does not meet the demands. The school
of tomorrow will differ as widely from
a. he school of today as the school of
today differs from that of yesterday
We will learn by experience. All
that was good and useful in the old
schools of the old days will be re-
tanned, reformed and reshaped, and
woven into Il new system which will
have adaptation and practical applca-
! ton to all classes and degrees of mind
and all vocations. So great a problem
cannot be solved by one man, nor
perhaps by one generation. Book after
book has been written-is being writ
ten now-on the subject. Some great
mind will come along some day, and
out of all that has been recommended
and suggested, will give us working
plans, and curricula commensurate
with the needs of the times, and pro-
gressive for all times.
I To repeat, it goes without. Saving.
that the new school will betdifercnt.
On theology, science, literature, his

new books will be written and new
