THE WAR AND THE GOSPEL
elizabeth City Independently.

elizabeth City Independently.
Jesus emphasized but two command
ments in laying down a code for the
spiritual and moral guidance of those
who would enter his kingdom. The
first of these was to love God; the
second, which he declared was like
unto the first, was 20 love ones neigh
Dor as ones self. And Jesus left no
room for argument as to who is our
neighbOr; the s.0ry Of the Good Sa-
marian settled that point in language
which not even a lawyer could mis-
cOnstrue.
The gospel of Jesus is the gospel of
good cheer, h%elpfulness and self-de-
NAL. 1t recognizes the brevityNOf hui
man life and emphasizes the folly of
conserving material things. Human
ity can use and enjoy everything that
humanity produces. There is much
poverty and want and misery in the
world because so many insist upon
taking heed of the morrow and storing
up the products of human labor for
their future prCf1t-a future which ne
yer arrives. In the community which
Jesus attempted to establish every
member thereof disposed of his D
ty, pooled it in a common fund and
from that common fund and from that
common pool each was supplied &C.
cOrding to his needs. This was nc:
Socialism, as is commonly supposed,
but Communism or Anarchism.
The modern world drifted far away
from the teachings of Jesus when the
French Revolution made it possible
for the working class to aspire to ma
terial wealth and the earthly prestige
carried with it. Christianity argues a.
state of social equality. The greater
numbers of humans cease to be inter-
'ested in social equality when they have
opportunity to become the social
superior of some n else. In the mad
scramble to get upon each others
backs they have ground Christianity
Itself underfOOt. Losing their own
souls in gaining even a part of the
world has no terrors for mankind.
But do not lose heart; there is a pos
sibility of a better understanding of
Christianity developing out Of this
great world war. President Wilson
took the Christian stand when, in de-
claring war On Germany, he insisted
that the United States sought no an
~nexatiOn and no indemnities and
would, sacrifice only to make the world
safe for the peoples of all nations.
This prOnunciamentO of the grea:
mead or the greatest Christian nation
on earth may be recorded in history
Us the greatest contribution to the lit
erature Of Christianity since the Ser
mon on the Mount.
This Christian ideal has been re-
Pnted by politicians and profiteers,
but. it has taken hold of millions
throughout the world and is permeat-
ing the ranks of the soldiers in arms.

BAPTIST EDUCATIONAL DRIVE.

The success with which Henderson
county Baptists are meeting n their
part Of the million dollar educational
drive in North Carolina should be a
matter of encouragement not CAY 10
Baptists but to all other denOnina-
tiOns. One of our home schools, Fruit
land Institute, will benefit greatly
from this endowment fund, and this is
why we should all be interested for
this school with its uplifting influen-
ces, has made itself felt III all w3lE.s
Of Henderson county life.
State schools and colleges have teen
making progress by taxation and other
means while the denominational
schools. always attractive in their
rates, have suffered because Of insuf-
icient funds to keep the work to the
high standard desired.
A crisis has come in these schools
and colleges because others are offer
ing the heads of these institutions
more pay. Some of the teachers and
professors are remaining through 10y
atty on inadequate salary, while 9TH
ers are leaving, hence the need Of in
creased funds for equipment and 9TH
er expenses.
Henderson county has been appor-
toned $4,000 and thus far the cam
paign is going we'll and The Hustler
hopes that our people will even exceed
their expectations because money thus
invested goes to bless and enrich life
and it's many good results will be es-
pecially felt here where Fruitland In

men and women are imparting whole
some influences that go out as a bless
ing to all parts Of this county, and to

DOCTORS SAY CALOTABS
ARE BEST FOR COLDS

According to the worlds greatest
physicians and medical experts, Gallo
mel is. the best, and only dependable
remedy for breaking up a cold over
night or cutting short an attack of
sore throat, deep-seated cough, infu-
enza or Ia grippe. Now that science
has purified calomel of all its nausea
and dangerous qualities, the new
kind Of calomel, called "Calotabs" is
even more popular than the old style.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
work or pleasures. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your
whole system is purified and re-
freshed. Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your druggist recon-
mends and guarantees Calotabs and
will refund the price if you are not
delighted with them.-adv.

For many years even scientists be-
lieved that there actually was q mar
velOus tree called the train tree"
which had the power of collecting the
dampness of the atmosphere and of
c~oadensing it into Il continuous and
coUious fall of rain. To this power
was ascribed the trees ability to with
stand long droughts. 1t is true, how
ever, that the leaf Of the train tree"
or, as it is sometimes called, "the
travellers tree"-has a large sheaf at
the base, in which water collects, but
it is only e mouthful or so.

An after-effect of measles, greatly
feared by army surgeons, is the devel-

found that the fatalities among ma

with children. The pneumonia result
has been more prevalent In the canton

than In those of the North or West.
Generally speaking, surgeons look
for mumps at about the time that
measles appear. and are rarely disap-

do not begin to reach the number of

heating or cooking. The government
stated energetic measures had to be
taken. in view of the fact that the
stocks OF gasoline were almost ex-
hausted and 1t would be dangerous
to permit them to become further
depleted.

cation of the news that there was no

English tObaccos are still to be OBJ
tained in limited quantities, but the
price is prohibitive to the average
Frenchman.
The reasons given for the tobacco
shortage are the increased cOnSump-
ton by the soldiers in the trenches
and the decreased production and Inn
pOrtation. due to the lack of bottoms.
A good denl has been said about
the establishment of tobacco cnrd,
but the government has suggested
