QUICK dt - ClOCk.
MIR. Rivers Criticises Democrat
ic Rules
Mr.. Editor-I desire space in
your paper to call attention to
the new Democratic primary
rules and some of the apparent
evils therein as l see them:
First of all l wish to say that l
was a member of the State Dem
ocratic convention two years
ago when the rules governing
the primary elections were pass
ed known as the enrolment
rules, and the great cry in that
convention in favor of the adop-
ton of the rule requiring every
Democrat to appear in person
and write with his own hand or
make his mark to his own name,
his age, and occupation, the
Club Roll SO made up would be
filed with the Clerk of Court
and become the permanent
Democratic Roll of the county,
and that every person possessing
the proper qualifications and be-
ing SO enrolled would be on the
permanent roll, or in other
words would be entitled to vote
in every Democratic primary
held at his precinct or polling
place unless otherwise disqua!i-
fled; and that no new enrolment
would ever be required except
such as become of the proper
age or transferred or moved in
between primary election years.
Now a few of us have had
some experience in getting peo-
pie to understand why they
should enroll once and in getting
them to enroll their names prop
erly so that they could partici-
pate in the primary elections.
Now this year we find the same
thing to do over again. new
enrolment being required of
every person who intends or
who can be brought to see that
they should vote in the coming
primary elections. Now l am
of the opinion that this is
breach of faith with those who
enrolled two years ago, and be-
sides think it a needless diff
cult task. And one that we who
live in the rural sections and
who as every one knows are oc-
cupied in trying TO dig from the
earth living, people busily
engaged with the cultivation
harvesting of crops have other
things to think about; and yet
the new rules have taken away
the August time of enrolling.
After the crops are laid by and
after the political campaigns
have opened and the matter of
men for office have been dis
cnssed and brought to the minds
OF the voters, there will be no
chance to enroll. because the
new rules say that the books of
enrolment must close the last
Tuesday IN July.
| want 10 impress upon the
minds of every white man in
Chesterfield county the import
ance of properly enrolling him.
self on the Club Roll OF his
precinct. Be sure and see after
that at once and do not delay
for time slips away and before
you are aware of il the time will
be expired and however much
you may wish to participate in

Mistaken Enthusiasm,

Mistaken enthusiasm has done much
to retard the worlds progress toward
the high ideals Of life. True Christian
zeal is enjoined by the scriptural teach
ings. is at great variance from the
zeal born of Ignorance. Paul tells US
that there are those who have zeal
FOR God that is not according to knowl-
edge. who. being ignorant of God
righteousness. go about to establish
that which is at variance with the
righteousness of God. Such zeal Is a
tremendous force for evil.
1t is not enthusiasm in itself that is
commendable. but the enthusiasm born
Of Acknowledgement of the worlds
knowledge, but of that which comes
from divine revelation.
Enthusiasm for the things of the
world Is the distinctive badge of the
wording: enthusiasm for the things
OF God is the characteristic insignia of
the Christian
Christian enthusiasm manifesta itself
in many ways, but all in one direction.
II is the great factor for the improve
ment of the mind and body: for right
eousness in the life and in the world
| for the church in all it's ministry, and
for the souls. For all these things zeal
| is required in each Christian life.

These rooms are provided for the con-

donated money for the decorating and
furnishing of these rooms, and each Is in

Value Of Enthusiasm.

DR.. Headland. in one Of his lectures,
said that Christ's plan for establishing
His kingdom on earth was by teaching,
preaching and healing. 1t was His sole
method during the period Of His earthly
life. and He commissioned His disciples
to go forth to all nations. working in the
same way. 1t is evident to the observ-
ing mind that the great changes and
awakenings In the orient have come
about as result of the teaching. preach
ing and medical and surgical healing Of
Christ's missionaries among these people
The value of Christian enthusiasm is
recognized in the fact that 1t Is a poor
teacher. preacher or healer who has not
enthusiasm for his work.
How great, therefore, is the appeal to
all Christ's believing children to increase
their zeal in promoting by every facility
possible the teaching, preaching and
healing among all people at home and
abroad,
This work cannot be accomplished I'M
less the souls of Christians are enthused
to an understanding of the issues in
voved.
Faith and prayer are the means for
gaining enthusiasm in all religious en-
deavor With love for Christ In the heart
will come enthusiasm for the triumph
of His cause.
II the enthusiasm of His followers to-
day is tagging He will raise up others.
Remember His words when the Pharisees
asked Him to rebuke those who were
praising His mighty works. Il tell you

ter's cause. He was ever busi!y en-
gagged about his Fathers business.
1t is said that he heard voice con-
stantly ringing in his ear the command,
Occupy till / GOMEZ" expecting soon
to hear the same voice say, GIVE an
shant be no longer steward"
His motto was: No resting on this
side Of eternity"
At one time he writes, Lord. when
Thou seest me in danger of nesting, in
tender pity. put thorn into my nest,
to prevent my doing it." And again,
"I am determined to go on TIL ! drop;
to die fighting. though 1t be on my
stumps."
The world looks upon such enthusf-
asm for religion as madness, but only
those who throw their whole souls into
religious service can know the highest
enjoyment that life can afford or, can
know the extent of good such service

real allegory of the lutte of Orpheus. it

for enthusiastic service in Gods world

louder than ever before from all hands
The strangely and suddenly opened
doors, the unexpected revolutions in
thought, customs and habits, almost in
a day, of races which had not even

SPIRITUAL AVIATION
By Rev. Percy F. Hall, Assistant Pastor of the
Church of the Epiphany.

Not less than $50 years before Christ
came Isaiah uttered this stirring
prophecy of spiritual aviation. Seldom
If ever, can his words have fallen on
mems ears with such force and vivid
ness of power as today. With our own
eyes we have seen men literally mount
up with wings as agles."
The prophets thought is clearly of the
Impression produced on US by the soar
ing creature.
The eagle and aviator are symbols of
tireless power. They appear to defy
the laws which seem to US most inevi-
table and oppressive. Gravitation
(really a blessing) seems a constant
menace. 1t means falls. breakages.
fractures, wounds, death. There is the
word fall" the downward tendency.
The eagle and the aviator seem to
shout victory even as our Lords ascen-
sion is an acted parable of His trans
lation to power.
Didn't you say of the aviator. TT looks
so easy? That is it. He is symbol of
tireless power. And that is the spirit

They shall mount up with wings as
eagles.

city. a place where they can get all the
necessaries of life at a minimum cost.
and, best of all, where they are pro-
tected from evil associations. and the
strong brotherly arm of the associa-
ton is always ready to give them just
the help they need.
There are civic problems enough in
Washington, though to those coming
from some other cities it may seem
like a model city in many ways. How
ever, there is need to help educate the
people of all classes in civic duties and
civic righteousness of all kind; and
there are many other social and civic
problems which the league can help to
solve.
What can the league do about them?
Well, there are no votes to be cast
here now, that is true, but the league
can make its influence felt, directly
and indirectly, by the Legislators who
formulate our laws, in favor of right
eousness and reform, and against evil
of all kinds.
The verses cited as references sug-
gest as community helps wise leader
ship. relief from the burden of poverty.
restraining evil and establishing JUS
tice and righteousness.
The last reference in Paurs letter
to the Corinthians is a clarion call to
service: Watch ye, stand fast in the
faith. quit you like men, be strong.
Our response as Epworth Leaguers
may well be in the words of the oath
taken by the young Athenians when
they reached manhood. in the golden
days of Pericles: I'VE will never bring
disgrace to this our city by any act OF
dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever de-
sert our suffering comrades in the
ranks. We will fight for the ideals and
the sacred things of the city, both
alone and with many. We will revere
and obey the city,s laws and do our
best to incite a like respect in those
above US who are prone to annul or
set them at naught. We will strive
increasingly to quicken the public's
sense of civic duty Thus in all these
ways We will transmit this city
greater, better and more beautiful than
it was transmitted to US"

and the results were so successful that

ture of the institution.
