Destroying the Church.


CVtuiuuulcdteu,
Ii | wanted to destroy til e
Church OF God-that is to under
mine organized religion-Iwould
not waste any time in attacking
the Bible. l know too we'll what
the Bible has done for humanity,
and the world knows it. l would
not attack miracles, nor the in
Spiration of the Scriptures, nor
any of the institutions of t b e
Church have come down to us a.
long the mountain range of the
centuries. Such useless. wasteful
effort to destroy the Churc h
would be like shooting paper
wads at an iron-clad battle ship.
No! | know the power .ofreligion,
the power..of the Bible, and ap.
preciate to keenly the religious
instinct OF men to try to destroy
the Church in any such way. But
if l had determined to destroy
the Church OF God would starve
the preachers. | would make it
impossible for men of brain and
OF vision to serve the church by
starving them out.
The result would be an impov-
erished church, and the children
would learn to sneer and despise
religion and the church because
of the lack OF the representatives
OF it's, teachings, who. illtcom-
pare favorably with, the teachers
at whose.feet they sit in the col
leges and universities. The sue
cess of the church ofGod depends
largely on the type of men who
represent it and this type is de-
termined largely by the support
given. If the preacher is forced to
a position below par the Church
suffers. Do you want to destroy
the church? If so, just starve the
preacher.

tee and is we'll worth pondering:
Is your business good?
Are you employed at good wa

Is the dinner pail full?
Are you grieving over sons,

Is it easier to obtain credit?
Are you being charged exces.

Are you interested in having

Will the vast credits co be eX-

Why?
Because there is an abundance

Because we are free; and not

An Appeal Is Made for the Orphans Of
the State.

10 the People OF North Carollna:
The North Carolina Orphan As
sociatipn again calls upon every
man, woman and child IN t h e
State to contribute on or near
Thanksgiving day at least one
days income to the orphanage
of his or her choice.
A year ago this appeal was is
sued for the first time. The re-
sponse was gratifying, not only
because Of the unprecedented
gifts made to the various Or
phanages, but also because it re-
vealed the tender and practical
sympathy which our people feel
towards the thousands OF ourfa-
therless children. We anticipate
that the gifts of this year will be
much in advance of those of1915.
The cry OF the orphan-who
can hear it unmoved? And whose
heart does not thrill with Joy at
thought OF the dozen or fifteen
orphanages in North Carolina
housing many hundreds OF de-
pendent children and training
them into individual efficiency
and good citizenship? Yet every
one OF these institutions needs
better equipment and largersup-
port, and every one of them is
besipged by applicants for ad-
mission which must be denied for
lack of means. And. as a matter
of fact, in this good state ofours
there are literally thousands OF
orphan children, dependent and
deserving, who must be handi-
capped for life because in their
tender years they cannot have
the sheltering care and culture OF
an orphans home.
In order that a more adequate
equipment and support may be
: provided, the. "one-day-for-the-
orphans" movement was started
calling upon all our people to
add to the stream irregular con-
tributions q s.ecial Thanksgiv-
ing Offering equal to q days in
come. This is a reasonable re-
quest, for any one can share with
the orphans the earnings OF one
day out of three hundred and
sixty-tive. 1t is practicable, I o r
rich and poor alike can partici.
pate in it. 1t enlists our people OF
all creeds and classes in beautiful
cooperation for the support OF
q needed civic and christian phi
Ianthropy. While it deposits a
handsome aggregate in the or
plauagr Treasures it also deep
sti, dn, pn,irhes the life OF Oul
people. 1t is a prime investment
for both church and state, first
saving from degeneracy the most
exposed children in the world
and then training them for use
fulness in both the common
wealth and tire kingdom. Who o
us in the joyous Thanksgiving
season can refuse to lend the hel
ping hand? We therefore make
our appeal to-
The prince of business to Civ
out Of his abundanc the actua
or estimated income OF a day;
The landlord and money lend
er to give one days rent of hi
houses and lands, or one day
interest on his money;
The professional man to Civ
one days earning. specifying tn

The salaried worker togive hi
or h,r salary for a day;
The laborer with only pick-u
jobs, to devote some special da
to this cause;

The boys and girls with no rec
ular incomes to get a job afte

AN APPRECIATION

In the early morning of October
the fifth, nineteen hundred and six
teen, God sent his angels to carry
Mrs. William Dempsey Taylor (nee
Bessie MacKay) to her home with
him. In his infinite mercy he took
her before sorrow had touched her
joyous young life. While we cannot
understand why life so useful, SO
full of promise should be ended on
earth, yet death is,
"Just a going away into another
country, beautiful mystery through
which we pass as through an open
gate with glad surprise at the things
that shall be made plain, and with a
great sense of triumph"

make mistake and that it was done

EMERGENCY
YET EXISTS
WRITES THE PRESIDENT TO THE
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK
Withdrawal of National Guard from
the Border Would Invite Repeti-

Wilson
ASSOCIATED Press)

Long Branch, Oct. I4.-The emer-
gency which caused the sending of
national guardsmen to the Mexican
border "unhappily still exists" Presi-
dent Wilson wrote Governor Whit
man, of New York, Monday. He added
however, that he believed conditions
In Northern Mexico were improving
and "in the near future" it probably
would be possible to "do more than
has been done to relieve the embar-
rassment under which the organized
militia regiments have necessarily
suffered"
The presidents letter was made
public today. 1t was written in reply
To one from Governor Whitman re-
garding the New York guardsmen on
the border. The president said the
war department had advised him the
withdrawal of the militia at any time
since they were sent to the border
would likely have been followed by
fresh border raids.
