THE HOUR OF PRAYER

For three weeks the church bells
of many cities and towns of North
Carolina have been calling the peo-
pie to prayer at seven O'Clock IN the
evening, in response to a proclama-
ton issued by Governor Beckett sug-
costing that this be done for two
minutes every evening for the dura-
ton of the war. During the time
the bells are sounding the call the
people are asked to lift their hearts
to Almighty God in prayer for our
soldiers and sailors and for the sue
cess of the cause for which they are
offering their lives on land and sea
in the world struggle for democracy.
No citizen of the State should show
himself Indifferent to the call, for
there is virtue and power in prayer.
Already is the hand of Jehovah
plainly visible on the field of con-
quest and when the people of all
Christian nations unite in earnest
prayer for the success of the allied
arms, acknowledging their utter
helplessness to overcome the forces
of evil, without the aid of the divine
hand, deliverance will surely come
and that before a great while.
That God works in mysterious
ways his wonders to perform, is a.
true today as when He handed down
the proverb to the inspired writer
centuries ago. And the individual
or nation that forgets the source
from which every good and precious
gift must come will be called to &C
count just as surely as God rules the
universe. All down through the
ages the god of battle has been di-
rected by the same hand that led the
children of Israel out of Egyptian
bondage and gave them safe deliver
ance from the enemy by whom they
we're sorely pressed. And, behold, a
greater than Pharaoh is now seeking
to enslave mankind. But the same
guiding hand is able and willing to
deliver His people when they realize
their helplessness. Let one and all
heed the call to prayer each day, not
for two minutes only, but until their
hearts are satisfied.

Ignorance Is Bliss

Every individual above the moron
class has his OWE notions about n.y.
Eiene and health, If not fixed views and
opinions on the diagnosis and treat
ment of human ailments. This Is just
human nature. All mankind loves to
experiment upon itself.
Legislators are an anomalous tnsti-
tuition. When a legislator plans to in
troduce a bill he hopes to see enacted
into law, he strives to make 1t con-
form to the constitution. II the Ques-
ton is Of any importance he seeks
legal advice about the wording and In
tent of his bill. Never having studied
law himself, he DBalizes that an e1-
pert's aid is valuable.
But when a legislator seeks to in
troduce a bill affecting the health of
his constituents, does he consult the

per and send it to him. Any mem-
Der of his family will give god his
correct address. Write him a let
ter and tell him you are seHdfng
it The cost will be trifling. The
thought will be appreciated. 1t
is not an act Of charity, but an
act of patriotic service. 81
In order to do our bit we have de-
cided to offer the Hustler at half price
% cents for six months or SO; cents
for a year, to any one wishing it sent
to a. soldier.
This is a splendid way to do your
bit: Help us out in this effort to in
terest the soldier boys who are max
ing a sacrifice for their country.
The Hustler publishes more HeHder-
son county news than all other news
papers combined therefore it is the
paper that Henderson, county soldiers

OF GERMANY MEANS TO
EVERY AMERICAN.

What the German government means
by a place in the SUM- is the extermi-
1aatl24 Of the peoples whose soil it
'cOvets SO that Germans may replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction of civil
ians in Belgium, northern France, Po-
land, Serbia, and the actual enslave-
sment Of the survivors proves 1.-THE
frequently boosted German policy Of
blood and iron" and the flynn of
Hate" which has become a national
hymn, proclaims it.
From the rudimental condition Of
ancient 8aybarism, a spiritual develop
RslE was possible from the accom-
pllshed inhumanity Of Pr%usslanism, a
more rigid inhumanity only is possible.
: A German victory would mean the
blight OF what we call civilization and
the elimination Of what we believe d.
vine In man. What we believe In,
what we cherish, what we are, would
Be annihllated by the essence Of Prus-
siAniSm; our world would be Destroyed
by Prussic acid.

doctors about the purpose of the law?
No, he fires right ahead and puts the
law on the statute books.
Legislators are an anomaly. With
out having even a moderate knowl-
edge IF the subject of health and n.y.
giene they feel competent to make
laws regulating or affecting these
vital matters. And in the estimation
of the average politician the advice
and opinions of an uneducated or. half
baked healer who has a sure system
to exploit is quite as weighty and in
huential as the advice or opinion of q
man skilled in the art Of preventing
and curing disease.
Thus it happens that the title
Doctor" as used by healers, no long
er signifies anything. Doctors" are

"Medicine." The all-wise courts are
still wrangling over the significance OF
the word. There are a lot of old foS'
sils on the bench who insist that the

ing Of drugs, in spite of the fact that
nine-tenths of a physicians work is
other than the prescribing of drugs.
AS long as this sort of quibbling re-
mains sound legal sense, just so long
will the public be deceived by the nH
merous incompetents and pretendeu
who unhesitatingly take upon them
selves the title Of doctor"

twas concerned. it was evident they were
talking to keep up their courage
- There was unusual activity all over
the uptown financial district In the
'neighborhood of Broad and Chestnut
streets and Penn Square Il banker re-
marked, after looking out of his win
dow at the lines of captured cannon,
machine guns and whippets which lined
both sides of Broad street, IF one
didn't see the crowds of curious admir-
,,ers one would think that martial law
had been proclaimed"
{, The stock market was very strong in
the forenoon. but eased off near the
close. Brokers said it was profit taking
from the high prices earlier in the day.
In the street and in the brokers offices
there Is no hope for an early peace
that Is, a peace before l9l9--notwith-
standing the continued successes of the
ALLIED forces
The weakness in steel stocks was
freely commented upon in many bro
kers' offices and board rooms and the
impression gained was that steel stocks
should be strong, as In the event of
peace the demand for steel will tax
ievery concern for several years to come.
