cussion OF the necessity for more sup

said emphatically that the threat
against our civilization would pass
like the mist before the sun were the
schools supported Loyalty. II they
aer not, Attorney Shaw is of the opin-
ion that revolution and even worse
will follow-that we will have trou-
Bile little dreamed of now. The mind
OF the people is awakening to this
and is turning to the church and the
schools to save the situation. II Is
getting enthusiasm to place our
schools at the front rank Of the kind.
There is opposition to the doing OF
what should be done in this commun-
fly. We ought to be ashamed of the
little we have done for our boys and
girls. Let us lift this independent
district to an efficient place with as
good school as can be found in West
Virginia. AS a last word Attorney
Shaw turned to Judge Morgan and
remarked: lew appreciate very much
that Judge Morgan came through the
mud and rain through the country to
get here, and that he has had no lin
ner. eW were very nervous as the
hour approached and he did not ar
rive and folks were saying-'What

misfortune, for he'll never ind any
ebtte rhouse than this"
And it was good house last night,
for every inch of space was filled, all
the balconies, the Sunday school room
which opened out of the church and
the main church itself. Even the
platform was crowded to capacity and
many stood at the back of the church
and near the doors. Both city and

prominent place on the platform as
well as Judge Morgan, Attorney Shaw
