SNoBBERY CONDEMNED
Bishop Says Church Must Abandon u
to Succeed.


The church must abandon its ''at-
titude of spiritual snobbery" before it
can hope to dispense the social gospel
to the workers, Bishop Paul Jones Of
New York said in an address before
the Council of Cities of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Chicago. ..
when the church abandons its at
titude of spiritual snobbery," he said,
"in which it imagines 1t can put over
something in the industrial field by
doing something for the workers and
thus winning their gratitude and alle-
glance, and begins in humility to seek
ways Of working with them in the es-
tablishment Of sound economic rela-
tions, so that the every day work of
the world may be a field for the ex-
preston of real brotherhood, it will
have found the key to the solution of
the problem.
THE church, by abandoning the
protection Of property values which
now characterizes our political life,
can, if it has faith enough to seek the
kingdom of God first join the ranks
Of those who put human relationship
first and lose itself in seeking the life
of the world. It will then not dispense
the social gospel, perhaps, but, better,
it will live it,"

It is unfair for any one to think Of

ship, of Boston, told delegates from
fourteen states attending the 1lliteracy
conference Of middle west and north
ern states, meeting in Boston last
week.
Every illiterate from the noun
tains of Kentucky and Tennessee and
the Carolinas was infinitely better
skilled to shoot and dodge shots in the
world war than United States senator's
and university presidents" he said.
Every one Of them was worth more
to the army than all their critics when
it came to handling firearms or facing
fire arms. The keynote was struck
when it was said they could not write
their names, and If they could their
families couldn't read what they
wrote.
I'm the mountains on the east of
Kentucky, and Tennessee. and on the
west of tho Carolinas, there have been

Louis Chett, recently arrived from

suspicion. When Louis had bowed

When he arrived at the police sta-

After Fong Tai he'd talked with
Louis, he explained to the court that
his countryman was merely following
the rule Of politeness existing In
China. Chett was freed. ~

REMARKABLE SERMONS
Preachers Tell Fountain Inn Folk Just
What is What.

Rev. s. P. Hair preached a remark
able sermon Sunday EMBELLISHMENTS
able only because Of the courage re-
quired to deliver 1t. He but repeated
truths that all men know. He said,
for example that, the man who holds
cotton, hoping for a better price, while
the man whose money he Is using
needs and demands his money, Is not
an honest man and has no understand
ing of the principles Of honor. He
said, also, that fair-weather Christians
the kind that love the Lord when
times are good or when q revival
meeting is in progress, are worthless
to the church. He said, also, that
those who make pledges to the church
and do not pay them, whatever the
sacrifice required, are not At for the
Kingdom of God. And to clinch the
matter, he reminded his hearers of an
age-old truth: that man is no bet
ter than his word; that II his word is
no good; the man is 40 good. More
power to his elbow! This community
Is sadly in need Of a few simple les
sons in the art of common honesty. It
has too darned much surface religion,
and not enough Of the kind that goes
all the way to the bone. S't
What s. P. Hair didn't tell the folks
Sunday night, w. H. Polk did. His sub
ject was purity, and without rhetorf-
cal flourish or waste of words he took
the hide of the male membership of
his congregation and tackled 1t on the
wall back of the pulpit. And when he
had finished that operation, he turned
to the women and said: How in the
name Of God do you expect men to re-
main pure when you faunt temptation
in their faces every time they step on
the str st?" And then he expressed
his honest opinion of the present styles
in women's attire. don't know
what's going to happen in this town.
but il the preachers develop the habit
Of telling the folks the unvarnlshed
truth, it may yet become. necessary to
enlarge the churches.

JUSTICE OFTEN CHEATED
Goodwin Asserts Rich Get Best La"
yers and Poor the Bad Ones.

Equality before the law is impos-
sible so long as the rich and powerful
are represented in court by highly
educated lawyers, while n large part
of the poor and ignorant are repre-
sented by unframed and incompetent
men, Judge Clarence N. Goodwin, OF
Chicago, declared In his opening ad-
dress last week Us chairman OF the
Conference of Bar Associations IN
Washington Until such condition
Is corrected, he said,, there will be IT.
tie Justice in the courts.
The shrewd and powerful men and
interests of large means are able to
know who are competent and who are
not, Judge Goodwin asserted, adding
that 1t was difficult for the poor man,
the ignorant man, to make any just
estimate of who was capable Of prop
erly advising and representing him.
During my years as a trial judge"
the speaker said, II was frequently
distressed by the fact that one side or
the other in the case before me was so
incompetently represented by counsel
or represented by such ignorant coun-
sells that, owing to the learning and
skill of the attorneys on the other side,
it seemed impossible to get the case
properly before the court, or keep err
ror out Of the record"
Judge Goodwin said that during his
years as justice of the Illinois Appel
late court, I'VE found ourselves con-
stantly confronted with records which
showed such calapeble and unmistak
able errors as to make it necessary
to reverse the case, although it OBJ
Tously had merit, and although it was
almost a moral certainty that had the
errors been eliminated the verdict and
judgment would have been the same.
"These miscarriages of justice, due
to ignorance and incompetence of
counsel, are largely beyond the power
of the judges to control, or of rules
of practice to remedy. 1t Is to be re-
resenting these unfortunate litigants
were licensed by the state to practice
law. 1t seems little less than a crime
for the state to certify to the compe-
tcncy. to the learning and to the abili-
ty of man who represents his fellow
citizens in court who is not learned
nor able nor competent to represent
or advise anybody in any legal mat
ter"
There has been a growing sentiment
throughout the country of strcter
rules governing the admission to the
bar of those who, although holding a
degree from a recognized law school,
nevertheless possess no college train
| ing according to the members of the
American Bar Association. which, at a
recent meeting adopted 4 resolution
| suggesting college course as obliga-
| tory on the part of all future appli-
cants for admission to the bar. The
conference delegates today were pre-
pared to discuss the question and pass
| judgment on the movement which
many delegates thought necessary if
the legal ranks were to be purged oi
what they described rs undesirable
elements.
