Scripture Establishes No
Precedent for Socialism,
Claims Rev. DR.. George
W. Mcdaniel, of Rich
mond, in Sermon at First
Baptist Church.

Socialism gains no support for
its outstanding theory OF improper
distribution of wealth from biblical
analysis. according to DR.. George
". Mcdaniel. of Richmond, Virginia.
He discussed this theme yesterday
evening at the First Baptist Church,
under the title The Community OF
Goods"
Selfish wealth makes it more diff
ficult to settle amicably the dis
putes between Labor and Capital.
said DIR. Mcdaniel. The future
holds one Of two alternative
Christian stewardship or Impractical
socialism. The spirit of brotherhood,
where those who have possessions
hold them as under tribute to Christ
and for the service Of mankind,
will do more to calm the turbulent
seas Of proletariat unrest than all
the international schemes of the
SOviets and all the impractical
dreams Of the socialists.
Certain socialists advocate the
naturalization Of industry and the
abolition OF private property. They
contend that scripture teaches that
the rich and poor should put all
their property into a common fund
and have equal access to that
treasury. They are not concerned
by the fact that were equality OF
property established today there
would be inequality OF property to-
morrow should trade continue. They
refer to an apostolic precedent.
IF scripture teaches socialism il
is voluntary socialism. Jesus in
struction to the rich Young ruler to
dispose Of his property does not all
ter this position. The Young mans
goods were impeding his develop
ment and dwarfing his spiritual
capacity. and different manner of
life was essential in his case. But
elsewhere Jesus gave different in
structiOns to men Of his time. whom
He desired to aid. Joseph of Arma-
thea was not required to sell his
property. and it was in his tomb
that Jesus body found decent
burial The owner OF the olive
grove in which Christ found refuge
in the suburbs of Jerusalem was
not instructed to give up his prop
erty
The Acts remove all doubt as to
the meaning OF lue community Vi
goods and show it to be purely vol
untary. Peter said to Ananias
While it (the land) remains. did it
not remain thine own
:Trusteeship was taught by Jesus
and Paul, but not socialism. And,
Furthermore. the community of
goods experiment in Jerusalem was
a failure. Other churches sent sue
cor to feed the poor saints of that
place. Paul organized a host of indie
pendent churches in cooperative
brotherly action to succor many
who had lost their means of sup
port by becoming Christians. This
was not a shining example OF an
ideal social system"

F ate of America Endan-
gered by Prohteering
Abuses, Claims Rev. DR..
D. H. Martin, Pastor Of
Lincoln Road M. E.
Church.

Disaster to the nation from the
present successes of AmeriCanized
protiteering was predicted yester-
day morning by Rev. Or. D. II. Mar
tin, who occupied the pulpit of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Lin
coin road.
While we are considering our
duty toward putting a quietus on
the Bolsheviki abroad, we should
also not forget the same peril right
here in America. II we don't want
this red-handed assassin of civiliza-
ton to imperil our nation. as he is
threatening the nations of Europe.
then We shall need to reform those
conditions in our country tat make
BOlsheviki. The protiteer class in
our country that has grown rich on
the excessive prices fer the ncCcs-
stiles of life is as great a menace
to our government today as Ger
many was during the war.
Tho sad thing about it is that
the profteer class in America is
composed to a considerable extent
Ct native-Lorn citizens. We need TO
dispose of the enemy in OAR midst.
IT is pity that Mr.. Palmer could
not have been as successful in
cleaning out the prolitcers as was
Christ in ridding the Temple Of the
money changers. If something is0t
done tc relieve the people of the
excessive burden they are carrying.
it will only be a matter Of time
Until anarchy and fanatiCism VIII
go red-handed through America. as

America from the Bclsheviki by not
giving him soil and atmosphere in
which to breed and thrive.

HERBERT MEYER WINS
SCHOOL ESSAY PRIZE

Herbert Meyer won the S5 prize Of
fered by some Of the citizens Of Port
Gibson for the best essay on why
Port Gibson Needs a New School
Building. The second Best essay
was written by ALA Lynn Little.
The essay written by Herbert Mey-
er appears below
In the first place the present build
ing is unsuited to the needs Of the pu-
pills. Il is in state of dilapidation.
The main building itself is insecure,
and the wings form an exact dupli-
cate of Stonehenge. There are no
grounds for athletics. To have a good
ball game on the present ground is
as unthinkable as TO have an enter
tainment in the school house.
The building has no modern i'm
provecents. Most schools have steam
heat but we have an ancient Charter
Oak. Most schools have electric
lights; ours are disconnected half the
time. Our drinking fountains are un-
sanitary, and in need of repair. In
short we lack every thing that first
class school should have
Modern schools influence the lives
of the pupils. The surroundings help
the pupil to be more cheerful and
therefore brighter and fresher in his
studies. They also promote the health
of the student, as germs do not thrive
as well in sanitary places, as they do
IN places like our present building.
By promoting the present health Of
the student they insure his future
health, thereby furnishing America
with the right kind of citizens.
Beautiful schools bring business to
the towns where they are located, as
parents naturally desire to place their
children in schools that are well e.
quipped and attractive.
In every town there should be some
building for community pupn5es.
And as Port Gibson has no other
building suitable for This purpose, We
should make OIL sshool the center of
community meetings
A new school house will add beauty
to the town. The value Of beautiful
buildings We're realized by almost all
of the famous men of history Peri
cles, the eminent statesman and ora
tor, who flourished four hundred and
thirty years, before Christ realized
the,need of public buildings and erect
ed many beautiful edifces which made
Athens, "the city beautiful. Net on
ly Pericles knew the need Of PUBLIC
institutions, but other noted men of
history, and many Americans of to-
day have followed his footsteps in
erecting beautiful and useful build
ings. Port Gibson has several beaut-
iful buildings, which we may well be
proud of: the court house, our beaut-
iful churches and many attractive
residences; but, where is our school
house? A plebian among patricians ?
Shall we allow Port Gibson to be put
down among the cities as an unpro-
gressive town? No! Let us put Port
Gibson among the modern, progress
sive towns by building beautiful
and up-to-date school house.
