THE THACKER MEETING
HAD GREAT RESULTS.

The last day of the Thacker-Roddy
meetings yesterday was tremendous
success. Twice yesterday the Baptist
|church was crowded, every available
|seat being taken. This was a splendid
climax to one Of the best meetings
ever held in Wilson. The total visible
results of the meeting are 1O5 pro-
ifessions, As church letters brought to
isome church here, and SAG recon-
!secrations. These figures speak for
themselves. In addition to these
figures the general morals of the
lifted, and the influence of these
meetings will last through the years
to come.
Dr. and Mrs. Thacker left last
might for their home in Norfolk ac-
,companied by Mr.. Roddy, song lead
er. The next meeting, which they will
conduct, will be in Deland, Fla be-
ginning February 4th. DR.. and Mrs.
Thacker will spend until that time
lat their home in Norfolk, while Mr..
Roddy will go tomorrow to Charlotte
to visit relatives.
Yesterday morning DR.. Thacker
lspoke on ''Man Essentially Religi-
ous.''
Last night DR.. Thacker delivered
a powerful sermon, ''The Philosophy
| of Life.''
A free will offering of something
over $4OO was given DR.. and Mrs.
Thacker as an expression of appre-
citation of their services to the COM
| munity.
| DR.. Thacker is an able preacher of
the word of God, eloquent and ear
'nest with an attractive delivery. With
a splendid memory his sermons are
saturated with quotations from the
'word of God. He has a striking per-
sonally, is a good mixer, optimistic
and likable to know.
Mrs. Thacker, sister of the we'll
known Tom Dixon, charmed the Will
son people with the two splendid ad-
dresses she delivered here. A hand
some woman and an intellectual wo-
man, Mrs. Thacker is one of the
greatest women speakers heard in
Wilson recently.
| Mr.. T. B. Roddy will always be
remembered here. He possesses
wonderful voice which he has con-
secrated to the service of the Lord.
He and DR.. Thacker are a splendid
combination for the sort of work
they are engaged in. Wilson people
predict for them success wherever
they may go.

THE ROTARY SLOGAN

The booster campaign which has
been inaugurated over the country

This is the question that was asked
this morning by some prominent
gentlemen who were looking towards
the court house yard at the commu-
nifty Christmas tree that was placed
there by the ladies of the city, and
beautifully decorated and lighted in
order to emphasize the Christmas
spirit.
One of them answering the ques-
tion, remarked, 81 do not see how it
can grow when it was cut down at
the stump and removed without the
roots, and planted where it now
rests But if it does not take root
and live and grow, 1 sincerely hope
another will be planted, for it is GER
tainly beautiful tree and very orna-
mental, and then we can have a
Christmas tree all the year, and
learned to admire it."
Others voiced the same expression
So let's have a Christmas tree all the
year around.

INTERNATIONAL BANK

The SOlOnS who are working over
plans for the rehabilitation of the
world, among other suggestions pre-
sented for a way out of the present
tangIe insist that an international
bank patterned after our regional
banking system is the proper way to
handle the finances of the world, and
restore exchange and credit to their
proper place.
The coming conference at Genoa
presents many matters of Importance
and concren Aside from the mat
ter of finance and trade, there will
be the questions raised by France
and England as to whether Germany
should pay her indemnities and as
to what period of times these pay
ments should cover. Then, too, the
payment of the amounts due Amer
lea by the various European coun-
tries will most likely be considered.
There are many opinions On this sub
ject. A number contend that the
world needs an interchange of COM
merce, and manufactured and raw
supplies, and that since the wealth
of country is measured in the ac-
tivity and producing capacity of the
people, unless a nation can sell it's
products at profit that it cannot
live and pay it's debts. That if it is
compelled to drain it's capital and
resources in the payment of these
debts that it cannot accumulate any
thing to restore it's fortunes which
were decimated as the result of war.
There are others who believe that
the European nations should pay, not
all at once, but that the payments
should cover a reasonable period of
TINE, aTi argue that it is not right
TO COMPEL American people and
American business men to stand
heavy drafts for income taxes and al
low the European nations who owe
America eleven billions Of dollars to
go scot free. Again they naturally
reason that the soldiers are entitled
to some remuneration for having
saved the world to civilization, and
that unless the foreign debt is col
lected, they cannot hope to secure
the bonus they and the country feel
they are entitled to.
1t is evident that the Genoa con-
ference will be most important and
will cover number of subjects of
deep interest to the country and the
world. sSss

THE PROGRAM FOR
THE GENOA CONFERENCE

Paris, JAN 19.-The program of
the coming economic conference to
be held in Genoa was officially made
public tonight. The questions to be
discussed will be:
%. Examination into means for
putting into execution the principles
contained in the Cannes resolution of
Jan. 5, 1922.
CD. Establishment of European
peace upon solid basis.
CD Conditions necessary to the
restoration of economic confidence
without endangering or altering ex-
listing treaties.
(4. Financial questions, such as
currency, paper money, banks and
banking systems.
60. Economic and financial ques-
tions
The third item, which has been the
cause of misunderstanding and dis
agreement between Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain and Premier
Poincare of France, reads in the
English translation of the text,
without injury to existing treaties"
Former Premier BRAND, in the
course of an interruption of NJ Poin-
cares speech in the Chamber of De-
puties this afternoon reiterated the
statement he made to the Chamber
the day he resigned the Premiership,
to the effect that the conference "was
exclusively of the financial and eco
nomic character" which M. Poincare
had asked Mr.. Lloyd George and all
the invited delegates to accept before
France sent her delegation to Gnoa.
M. BRAND contended that the Agenda
spoke for itself and said there could
be no discussion involving existing
treaties.

BABE RUTH is
SORRY FOR ACTIONS

SORfS4 FUR ACIlONS
Chicago, Jan. 22.-Babe Ruth has
decided that he went too far in vio-
lating the rules of organized base
ball by playing postseason games
and is attempting to persuade Judge
Kennesaw M. Lands, baseball COM
missioner, through personal inter
view with him, but the judge was
confined to his home with a bad
cold.
A second call was made today,
but the judge still was sick and in
cations are that Ruth may not be
able to reach him.
If no interview can be arranged
before the Yankee outfielder leaves
town he will take up his case with
the judge by mail.
The home run hitter refused to
discuss the matter tonight, but close
friends said that Ruth deeply re-
gretted Haunting of Judge Lands
authority.
Ruth's appeal will be based, it was
said, on his present penitence and a
plea to the judge not to injure the
New York Americans by keeping him
out of the lineup for more than a
month. He is expected to urge the
judge to make his punishment en-
tirely a fine.

mediately called TO the naro edSA
of administering the affairs of the
Church in belligerent countries on
10Th sides.
In such circumstances he had to|
act IN the trip1e capacity of ecclesi-
astic, statesman and man. AS
the first his duty was to regard with
equal affection the Church in Italy,
and in Austria, in Belgium and in
Germany. As statesman his place
required neutrality, with a benevo-
lent readiness to serve both sides in
effecting, if possible, cessation OF
hostilities. AS a man he was inev-
itably revolted by the crimes and
atrocities of Germany, and as an
Italian he could scarcely avoid SYM
pathy with Ita1y's heroic struggle.
His repeated efforts for peace were
foredoomed to failure. Vatican
policy being against the breaking OF
Austria, his mediation naturally did
not appeal to the sentiment of Ally
countries. At last he realized that
peace proposals were vain until the
power of Germany was broken. The
policy of ''firghtfulness," he declared.
had alienated from Germany the
sympathy of all neutrals.
1t fell to his lot to see and to as
sist in furthering a settlement of the
age-long Irish controversy, in which
the Roman Catholic Church was in
timately and profoundly concerned.
In it his feelings were divided. His
love of law and order caused him to
regard with stern disapprobatlon
the violent deeds of the extreme
members of Sim Fein, while his af-
fection for Ireland as loyal daugh-
ter of the Church impelled him to
desire the realization Of her nation
alist aspirations. His final counsel
to the republican leaders to accept
compromise was at first rejected, but
in the end it proved potent. In
most vital way Pope Benedict who is
founder of the Irish Free State, and
will be so remembered.
1t was also his good fortune to
secure restoration of a large meas
ure of friendly relations with France,
an achievement greatly facilitated
by the patriotic course of French
Catholic priests as well as laymen in
the war. During the war the feud
between the French government and
the Church was largely forgotten, but
not long after the return of peacs
the Pope had the qualification of see-
ing that government provide for the
resumption of diplomatic relations
through the appointment of French
envoy to the Vatican.
All of these things-and many
more-Benedict XIV saw, and a large
part of them he was. The reserve
which wells the Vatican renders it
difficult to estimate the extent to
which the Pope personally initiates.
directs and controls it's external pol
icies. But from all that has been
known of Giacomo della Chiesa it
may confidently be assumed that in
all the principal decisions of his
pontificate he was the actual as wei.
as the titu1ar head of the Church.
And certain it is that his qualities
of mind, of heart and of soul entitled
him to the fullest measure of respect
from the non-Catholic world, even
as they commanded for him the ODE
dience, the affection and the venera-
ton of his own world wide cOmmu-
